The presence was at the late-stage King Martial Realm, and Lin Yi was also the Young Sect Master of the Li Huang Sect, which excelled at Ancient Secret Techniques. Among them, the sect had a technique that could greatly enhance physical strength and reaction speed. As the Young Sect Master, Lin Yi must have cultivated it to a high degree.

In such a situation, being instantly killed without even a chance to react only illustrated that Ye Li’s strength was terrifyingly overwhelming.

Combined with the fact that Ye Li was only 20 years old, it was even more frightening.

It was truly shocking. It wasn’t until a dozen breaths after Lin Yi had already died that people gradually reacted. Looking again at Ye Li, their eyes seemed ready to pop out of their sockets in shock!!!

Horrifying!

Unbelievable!

"Courting death!"

"Kill this female demon!"

"Tear her to pieces!!"

......

The remaining followers at the main table with Wang Shenyan, each with flushed faces and boiling murderous intent, all stood up, locking their killing intent on Ye Li, and yelled, at the verge of taking action.

"Sit down, all of you."

Wang Shenyan then spoke, a simple sentence as if a ladle of cold water poured into boiling water, directly quelling the boil.

Each of them sat back down.

"Clap clap clap..."

Wang Shenyan began to applaud, looking at Ye Li with some admiration and appreciation: "Miss Ye Li is truly admirable and shocking, truly skilled."

"After all, if one claims to be a demon, they must have the strength to back it up, right?"

Ye Li said with a smile, pouring herself a cup of tea.

"Since Miss Ye Li acknowledges herself as a female demon, is there still a chance for you to change your course? I really do not wish to be enemies with such a young super demon capable of instantly killing a late-stage King Martial Realm opponent, as I have always cherished talent greatly."

Wang Shenyan said with a sigh, appearing rather helpless.

"I, Ye Li, never turn back."

Ye Li said plainly.

"That’s truly a pity." Wang Shenyan sighed again deeply, and suddenly, his aura, previously restrained, burst forth.

Instantly, the entirety of Hidden Cloud Island seemed suppressed!

It felt like being drawn into a vacuum! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

People couldn’t breathe at all.

Looking closely, even the waters of Hidden Cloud Lake seemed to have solidified, with no ripples.

The faces of the other young demons from the Hidden Forces at tables near the lake turned pale. Despite being young demons themselves, they all felt as if they were being crushed under an Ancient Divine Mountain, finding it difficult even to stand under Wang Shenyan’s overwhelming aura.

"Is this... is this the power of the Supreme Martial Realm? It’s... it’s too strong!"

Everyone had heard that entering the Supreme Martial Realm drastically elevated one’s strength!!!

Yet truly experiencing it induced a fear so great that one dared not breathe.

"So... so strong?"

Even Ye Li herself looked extremely grave. She seemed to have underestimated the power of the Supreme Martial Realm, as she had confidence in holding her ground against a half-step Venerable Martial Realm opponent. Thus, she was somewhat hopeful about possibly confronting a genuine Supreme Martial Realm expert. But now, she realized how ridiculously wrong she was.

The true Supreme Martial Realm and the half-step Venerable Martial Realm were completely different leagues.

"Miss Ye Li, by now, do you have a change of mind?"

Wang Shenyan’s smile grew three shades brighter as he sipped his tea leisurely, full of amusement, and in control of everything.

As the only Supreme Martial Realm presence here.

He had, from beginning to end, approached matters with a gamely attitude, controlling the situation, as to a true Supreme Martial Realm spirit, everyone below that level were mere ants.

As Wang Shenyan used his Supreme Martial Realm aura to oppress and intimidate the scene, all eyes shifted to Ye Li!

Indeed, many thought that if Ye Li wasn’t foolish, she would concede.

After all, even if she disagreed, she couldn’t keep the Quasi-Emperor Treasure. Instead, she’d lose her life for nothing.

Anyone with a slight sense should know that survival is paramount; encountering the true supreme strong Wang Shenyan, just accept fate.

Nonetheless.

"What do you think, Young Master Wang?" Ye Li chuckled mockingly.

Not showing any signs of changing her mind.

Such surprise! Absolutely surprising!

This time, Wang Shenyan’s expression finally changed, his gaze turning gloomy.

Showing disrespect!

Wang Shenyan stared at Ye Li deeply...

A few breaths later, he shifted his gaze to Mo Qiu: "Brother Mo, what is your stance? If today, I must guide Miss Ye Li to change her ways, to repent?"

Mo Qiu, after all, was Ye Li’s senior brother.

Both were from the Immortal Sound Valley.

Moreover, Mo Qiu was Ye Li’s companion for the tea party.

Mo Qiu’s expression changed slightly...

He seemed to be hesitating. Seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.

Eventually, Mo Qiu smiled and said: "If Mr. Wang can truly help Junior Sister reform and abandon her demonic nature, it would indeed be a good thing."

Conceding!!!

Indeed, he conceded!

Mo Qiu was also forced; after sensing Wang Shenyan’s aura, he confirmed one thing: even if his combat power far surpassed his realm, even with numerous cards on hand, he was certainly not Wang Shenyan’s opponent, and the gap was significant.

He couldn’t partake in something seeking death.

Moreover, he wasn’t truly acquainted with Ye Li.

As for the Quasi-Emperor Treasure in Ye Li’s possession, from Mo Qiu’s perspective, if it really came to that point, the hidden elders from the Immortal Sound Valley would certainly intervene.

But what he didn’t know was that the elders from Xuan Miao Sect were also hidden and positioned, counter-balancing the elders from Immortal Sound Valley with locked auras; it was now entirely up to the younger generation.

"Brother Mo indeed is a model, of high standards and noble character, with great foresight." Wang Shenyan praised, though there was a sense of irony in the compliment.

Ye Li’s eyes flickered with some desolation and self-deprecation deep within those beautiful eyes.

She confirmed that Mo Qiu wasn’t aware of the real intentions of his mother, Mo Tingyu.

In other words, in Mo Qiu’s perception, Ye Li truly belonged to Immortal Sound Valley and was genuinely his junior sister.

Under such circumstances, when Ye Li was targeted and about to lose her life here due to Wang Shenyan, Mo Qiu was cowardly enough not to get involved.

How laughable!!!

How could he be called an unparalleled demon of the Immortal Sound Valley with this?

How could he carry the endless hopes of his Master, Mo Tingyu, with this?

"Then let’s perish together."

Ye Li took a deep breath, her heart already determined that if Wang Shenyan made a move, she would burn her True Qi, life, and Essence Blood to perish together with him.

Not only for a breath of defiance but also for her brother Ye Tian, who was present. If she were killed by Wang Shenyan and he lived on, her brother would surely fight desperately against him, and one could only imagine the outcome for her brother.

So, it would be best to perish together with Wang Shenyan.
