The Emperor's Domineering Favor, the Evil Consort's Unparalleled Reign

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

Those who had just fallen into the black formation suddenly let out extremely miserable screams, as if they had suffered some indescribable and devastating blow; their voices were exceptionally chilling. Accompanying those screams, the air was filled with a nauseating, bitter smell of blood.

The woman in black wore a cold smile. After hearing the series of pitiful cries, the curve of her lips widened, and she looked at Ying Li with even more interest.

"Little girl, your kung fu is already quite good. It's just a pity that this day next year will be your death day!" The woman in black said these words coldly. The six barriers in front of Ying Li thickened one after another, and there was a faint sense of pressure pressing down on Ying Li!

"What exactly happened?" Ying Li's face was somewhat grim. The screams gradually faded away, but the smell of blood in the air grew stronger.

"This vile woman is a spirit sorcerer, but she can't even support the spirits she's collected. To consolidate her spiritual power, she conspired with that old, immortal Hu Yuanwai to set up a scam. She pretended to be sick and tricked a large number of people into joining the herb-gathering army, while she herself mingled among them. When everyone was busy gathering herbs in the desolate mountains and had no defenses, she set up a spirit-guiding array and used these people as offerings to the spirits so that they would serve her. How vicious her intentions are!"

The alluring man said coldly from within the ring of withered bones, "This woman in black deserves to die for her scheming!"

Ying Li suddenly realized why Miss Hu hadn't shown up yesterday, and why Master Hu had been so evasive. And why, this morning, was there an extra person with him? It was all her fault for not taking it seriously; now this had happened. If she had noticed earlier, she could have taken precautions. Now, nothing she said mattered; self-preservation was the most important thing.

Ying Li gathered spiritual energy in her right hand, and lightning crackled fiercely in her palm. With a loud "boom," the lightning struck the six barriers. Ying Li felt her whole body go numb, as the barrier power easily blocked her attack!

"Boom!" Another cracking sound rang out. Ying Li felt a tightness in his chest. The six barriers had shrunk the encirclement by half, and an indescribable pressure was now pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

"Stop resisting! Resisting will only make you suffer more! You might as well surrender obediently, and I'll let you leave more easily!" The woman in black had a bloodthirsty look on her face. The spirit guide absorbed the spiritual power of the herb gatherers, and the spirit masters who had a contract with the spirit guide also tasted the benefits. The spiritual power on the woman in black gradually increased, and the violent aura on her face was even more murderous than before.

"You're far from being able to touch me!" Ying Li shouted, and the Bone Ring in her hand suddenly shone with spiritual light. Seven bone totems kept rotating on the Bone Ring. Her right hand was raised to the sky, her face was as cold as ice, and there was a murderous intent in her eyes!

She can't even sustain her own spiritual energy, yet she takes the lives of innocent people. What good is it if she becomes stronger? In the end, she's just a scumbag who won't go far. Let her deal with the innocent people in front of her to prevent her from harming others!

Dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, and powerful spiritual energy surged around Ying Li, controlling the pressure of the six barriers on his body. "Crack!" A series of explosions erupted, thunder rumbled, and a terrifying force gathered, crashing down upon the woman in black and her group!

The woman in black wore a disdainful expression, not taking Ying Li's attack seriously at all. What great abilities could a little kid have? Besides, spirit masters are extremely rare on the Spirit Realm Continent, and their abilities are terrifying. They excel in defense, and such an attack is nothing but a bluff!

The servants standing behind the woman in black remained calm, presumably because they had committed many immoral acts and had never been defeated by a little girl before!

But these people are underestimating Ying Li too much. "Boom!"

As the lightning struck, its power grew stronger and stronger. The woman in black finally realized something was amiss. The lightning bolt that Ying Li had unleashed seemed to have a life of its own, constantly increasing its power. By the time it reached her, it was more than five times more destructive than it had been at the beginning!

"Damn it!" The woman in black's expression changed. She waved her right hand and set up a thick barrier in front of her. She took a few steps back and gathered spiritual energy in her hands. She didn't dare to delay for a moment and set up several more barriers in front of her to resist the heavenly lightning attack.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"..."

The sound of the barrier shattering rang out, and the woman in black's expression changed drastically. However, it was too late to dodge, as the speed at which the barrier was set up was no match for the destructive power of the heavenly lightning!

"what!"

A shrill scream echoed through the desolate mountains! The woman in black was struck by lightning, her body trembling uncontrollably. In just a few seconds, as the screams faded, the woman in black turned into dust!

"Whoa!"

Like the woman in black, the servants who hid behind her met the same fate. They helped her set up the great formation, and in the end, they also died alongside this heinous woman.

The moment the woman in black died, the six barriers in front of Ying Li vanished. At the same time, the scenery on the mountain began to change. In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the spiritual herbs that were just overflowing with spiritual energy disappeared without a trace, replaced by large swathes of white bones. Among them, more than a dozen skeletons still had fresh bloodstains on them, undoubtedly those who had died tragically!

"howl!"

Just when Ying Li thought everything was alright, a familiar shout suddenly rang out from the pile of bones, "That's... a leopard cat?!"

Ying Li's face was filled with shock. She formed a barrier with her spiritual energy and her eyes turned slightly red as she gathered the power of heaven and earth, ready to attack at any moment.

"Howl!" Another fierce shout rang out, and a yellow object suddenly emerged from the bones, shooting towards Ying Li!

Human hair and bloodstains were still faintly visible in the grimacing, snarling mouth. Ying Li gagged, and his right hand suddenly shot forward! A swarm of Firebirds of Paradise burst forth, carrying large swaths of flame, quickly engulfing the leopard cat!

At the same time, the spirits of heaven and earth gathered, and Ying Li's eyes tightly imprisoned the leopard cat, causing the opponent's attack power to drop sharply. "Howl!" Another heart-wrenching roar erupted, and the leopard cat's face was filled with ferocity, wishing it could immediately break through the bird of paradise's attack and tear Ying Li to pieces.

But the roars grew fainter and fainter until they were completely silent. The leopard cat seemed to have lost its bones. Although its body was not damaged, it became increasingly shrunken and eventually shrunk into a small ball, turning into a black pebble and dying.

Ying Li had a few beads of sweat on his face. After the leopard cat stopped moving, he put away his martial arts and came to the black stone formed by the leopard cat. It was smooth and shiny, like an antique walnut that had been played with for more than ten years. However, there was a small leopard cat carved on it, baring its teeth, but without the dynamic ferocity.

"Could it be that the spirit guide in that secret passage escaped and was captured by Miss Hu, which caused all these troubles?" Ying Li couldn't help but voice his doubts when he saw the familiar spirit guide.

"Perhaps that's how it is. Lingyin is cunning and clever. Maybe Yin Huan's father used two leopard cat Lingyin. The stronger one was successfully cursed and became the killer of the magic array, while the weaker one took advantage of the chaos to escape and came to the town very close to that secret passage. In the end, it was captured by Miss Hu, who has the talent of a spirit sorcerer, and that's when it started eating people!" The bewitching man thought about it and also felt that this situation made the most sense. Although Miss Hu was a spirit sorcerer, it was too illogical for her to go to the Ghost Realm to capture Lingyin on her own. She was probably killed before she even reached the gate of the Ghost Realm.

There was only the possibility of picking up a bargain, but her intentions were impure, and she actually had the idea of ​​killing someone as a sacrifice.

Thinking of this, Ying Li had a sudden thought. She clapped her hands, threw the black stone on the ground, looked at the white bones covering the mountains and fields, a murderous intent flashed across her face, and she stomped her right foot on the ground, running back to the town she had come from.

At this moment, the wealthy Mr. Hu was humming a tune and drinking tea, with a girl of about fifteen or sixteen sitting on his lap. Her face was covered in tears, her clothes were disheveled, and her bare shoulders and neck were covered with hickeys and bruises. This was no longer the amiable Mr. Hu from yesterday; he was clearly a beastly lecher!

He held a cup of tea in one hand, sipping it slowly, while his other hand reached into the girl's chest, kneading and squeezing it incessantly. The woman's face was flushed, filled with pain, and her collarbone was bright red from tension. Upon closer inspection, there were even some bloodstains on the hem of her skirt! Miss Hu had a penchant for killing and sacrificing, and this old bastard had a particular fondness for torturing young girls. If it weren't for Ying Li's extremely high spiritual power, making her suitable for sacrifice, he would have already given in and killed her last night.

There isn't a single good person in this family!

"Master, please, spare me!" The woman's face was covered in tears and shame. She clung to Master Hu like a broken doll, pleading all she could hear.

Master Hu glanced at her with displeasure, removed one hand from her clothes, and slapped her face hard with the other. He then looked at the two drooling servants standing to the side and said coldly, "Since you don't want to serve me, Wang San and Li Si are yours to play with!"

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

Wang San and Li Si, their faces gleaming with lust, rolled up their sleeves and began to grab the woman upon hearing what Master Hu said. The woman, her face filled with shame and panic, couldn't hide or escape. She hardened her heart, gritted her teeth, and was about to end it all when a clear and righteous female voice suddenly rang out in the courtyard, "Let her go! You rotten people!"

Master Hu's expression changed. He looked up and saw Ying Li standing unharmed in the courtyard, slowly approaching him, while his daughter had not returned. He was startled and shouted, "Come on, seize this wretched girl!"

Ying Li smiled coldly, gathering spiritual energy into a whip in his hand. With a "crack!" he flung the tear-streaked woman aside, while the fiery red bird of paradise behind him simultaneously launched a fierce attack on Master Hu and his entourage!

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you all, just die!"

Ying Li's voice echoed for a long time in the Hu family compound, and the towering flames instantly engulfed the entire front hall! Screams continued to spread, and the woman standing next to Ying Li, her clothes torn and ragged, looked at this girl who was much younger than herself, and a look of gratitude and awe rose on her face. This girl, she is so strong!
