Chapter 439: Instant Retribution!

Lier paid no attention to Zhao Tianyin at all.

She slowly extended her jade-like arm and gently pressed her palm against Ye Yuan's chest.

A halo spread across Ye Yuan's chest, giving off a sense of peace.

Seeing that Lier completely ignored him, the Wind Emperor's face darkened. "Hmph! Nonsense! How dare you offend me—you deserve to die!"

Zhao Tianyin pointed a single finger, and a streak of light instantly reached Lier's face.

But just then, a bizarre scene unfolded!

The streak of light vanished inexplicably right in front of Lier's face, yet no one had seen her make a move.

Her hand remained pressed against Ye Yuan's chest, as if she knew nothing of Zhao Tianyin's attack.

Before Zhao Tianyin's expression could change, his hair suddenly stood on end as a strong sense of crisis surged from behind.

He spun around abruptly, and a streak of light shot out from the void. In haste, Zhao Tianyin quickly pointed another finger.

"Boom!"

The two streaks of light collided with a violent explosion.

Zhao Tianyin was forced back several steps, and everyone stared at the scene in disbelief.

The Wind Emperor was a Boundless Realm expert—how could he be no match for a woman?

Zhao Tianyin gasped. "Space intent! You... who exactly are you?"

Space intent was an extremely profound concept, incredibly difficult to comprehend.

The Wind Emperor was well-traveled, but he had never heard of anyone in the lower realms mastering space intent.

And judging by the woman's earlier move, she had clearly reached a very high level of understanding.

The Wind Emperor's expression turned grim. For the first time since becoming emperor, he felt a great threat.

Just then, Ye Yuan let out a muffled groan, appearing to be in great pain.

Seeing this, Lier's expression relaxed considerably.

Only then did she slowly raise her head and glance indifferently at Zhao Tianyin. "Your dog's head is temporarily left on your neck. Before long, Young Master Ye will come to claim it himself. As for who I am, you are not worthy of knowing."

Zhao Tianyin's face darkened as he frowned. "Hmph! So you know a bit of space intent. Don't think you've got me beat."

But Lier ignored him, gently lifting Ye Yuan and saying, "Young Master Ye, I'll take you home now."

Enraged that Lier showed him no regard, Zhao Tianyin flashed in front of her and said, "Stop your tricks! You can leave, but this brat must stay!"

Lier lifted her eyelids slightly and said flatly, "You think you can stop me?"

Zhao Tianyin snorted. "And what if I can? If I let you swagger away with him today, how will I ever lead the people of the Windstorm Realm?"

"You brought this humiliation upon yourself. Don't blame me."

As she spoke, Lier's eyes suddenly emitted two flashes of light, which vanished in an instant.

Zhao Tianyin, who was gathering a powerful attack, suddenly shuddered, and his eyes gradually grew dull!

Lier frowned as a sharp pain tore through her soul.

"Your Majesty!" Ding Liang sensed something wrong and shouted loudly.

But Zhao Tianyin seemed not to hear, standing motionless like a puppet.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Ding Liang hurried to Zhao Tianyin's side and shook him, but there was no response.

"Sorceress! What have you done to His Majesty? Do you realize what you're doing? You're making an enemy of the entire Windstorm Realm!" Ding Liang roared.

But despite his harsh words, Ding Liang dared not attack Lier.

This sorceress had even immobilized the Wind Emperor—how could he possibly be a match for her?

"Is that so? What if I am making an enemy of the entire Windstorm Realm?" Lier said calmly.

Disturbed by Zhao Tianyin's interruption, Lier was no longer in a hurry to leave. She gently set Ye Yuan down and propped him against her shoulder.

Seeing this gesture, Ding Liang's heart pounded with a sense of foreboding.

Lier gave a soft command: "Come here. Kneel before Young Master Ye!"

Everyone's expression changed!

Was this woman insane? She wanted the Wind Emperor to kneel to Ye Yuan!

But by now, no one regarded Lier as an ordinary person.

This woman was too eerie—with just a glance, she had completely subdued the Wind Emperor.

The Boundless Realm was the most powerful existence in the lower realms—could it be that he didn't even have a chance to fight back?

And would the Wind Emperor... actually kneel to Ye Yuan?

Under the gaze of the crowd, the Wind Emperor actually shuffled forward two steps, moving toward Ye Yuan.

Ding Liang was terrified and grabbed Zhao Tianyin's arm, shouting, "Your Majesty, don't!"

But the Wind Emperor ignored him and instead flung Ding Liang far away with a wave of his hand.

Zhao Tianyin took a few more steps and then, with a "thud," actually knelt down!

This caused an uproar.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene, utterly incredulous.

What kind of sorcery had this woman used on the Wind Emperor to make him so obedient!

"Heh, this is instant retribution. Just moments ago, Zhao Tianyin wanted Ye Yuan to kneel, but instead, he's kneeling to Ye Yuan! This is what they say: those who humiliate others will themselves be humiliated!" Xingyuan sneered.

Through today's events, he had completely broken with Zhao Tianyin. Seeing Zhao Tianyin kneeling to Ye Yuan now filled him with immense satisfaction.

The only pity was that Ye Yuan was still unconscious and couldn't savor the taste of revenge.

"Today, you brought this on yourself. I'll collect a little interest for Young Master Ye first! Now, kowtow to him. Don't stop until I say so!" Lier commanded sharply.

And so, Zhao Tianyin kept kowtowing to Ye Yuan, utterly obedient.

With a flick of her finger, Lier released Xiao Ruyan from the spatial artifact.

Seeing the Wind Emperor kowtowing to Ye Yuan, Xiao Ruyan was startled. "This... what's going on? His... His Majesty..."

"No need to be alarmed. I'm just punishing him a little. For what he did today, killing him would be justified. But for Young Master Ye to take revenge himself in the future, I'll spare him for now." Lier said calmly.

Only then did Xiao Ruyan realize that a stunning woman stood before her!

Summoning her courage, Xiao Ruyan studied Lier and felt a sense of inferiority!

"Could this woman be the one Ye Yuan truly loves? No wonder... he didn't care for me. The hardship he spoke of... this must be it." Xiao Ruyan lamented inwardly.

"Alright, I'm about to take Ye Yuan back to the Boundless Realm. Everything he did today was for you, so I've released you to ask: will you stay here, or come back with Ye Yuan?" Lier asked calmly.
