The techniques practiced by demons are not only domineering but also filled with slaughter.

To enhance their own strength, demons will stop at nothing, even if it means killing countless people.

Li Fei's natural aptitude is not outstanding, and his talent isn't great either. Even if he practices immortal techniques, his achievements would be very limited.

Given this, he might as well practice demon techniques.

Although it goes against the natural order, it can make him stronger, and in a short time, too.

As long as he doesn't expose the demon techniques he's practicing, no one will dare to do anything to him.

Without evidence, no one can say for sure.

Moreover, his identity is special. Although he is the second prince born of a concubine, he still holds significant power in the court.

Unless he reveals it in front of those with ulterior motives, it should be fine.

Even though he practices demon techniques, Li Fei hasn't become insane because of it.

He has never actively harmed anyone unless they provoked him first.

Li Fei, not controlled by the Bloodthirsty Demon Technique, is quite relieved that he hasn't been overtaken by it.

Perhaps he is special; otherwise, why hasn't he been controlled by the demon technique?

Currently, Li Fei's strength has already broken through to the Great Power Realm, not at all weaker than his royal brother.

As for why he was able to establish a formidable force in a shorter time than the eldest prince, Li Xun, it's because he obtained a terrifying tool from the inheritance of a Peerless Demon.

This tool is a group of extremely powerful puppets.

There are as many as a thousand of them, each with strength at the Marquis Realm.

To know that these are a thousand Marquis Realm puppets, and these active members can set up corresponding formations, they can even contend with a Pseudo God Realm expert.

More importantly, among these puppets is an exceptionally strong puppet leader who can command all the puppets, with strength that has reached the Pseudo God Realm.

With the support of all the puppets, this Pseudo God Realm leader can even rival a False God.

At such a young age, having such a powerful force completely under Li Fei's control is truly terrifying.

As for the officials of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty, most of their strength is generally at the Marquis Realm, King Realm, or Pseudo God Realm.

Many of them are impressed by Li Fei's terrifying subordinates, leading them to speculate whether there is a powerful force supporting Li Fei from behind.

Thus, some officials who were previously neutral gradually leaned towards Li Fei.

Of course, the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty also has some generals with strength at the Immortal, Semi Saint, or even Saint level, who have not participated in this struggle for the throne.

The current situation is not urgent, and they only need to be loyal to the current emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

As for other matters, they can be dealt with later.

Li Fei, practicing the Bloodthirsty Demon Technique, has a strong craving for blood, especially that of cultivators.

Therefore, at certain intervals, he would find someone from the death prison with cultivation to use for his practice.

Since everything is done very discreetly, no one knows what Li Fei is up to.

As for those death row prisoners taken away, they are just about to die anyway, so there's nothing to fuss over.

...

Meanwhile, in the Ye Family Territory.

Yun Yao held Yun Xi's hand, chatting non-stop along the way.

"Yun Xi, you saw Yun just now, how did you feel? Isn't he much more handsome than before? He's grown into quite the young man without us realizing it.

Don't be fooled by his current appearance; he's actually very outstanding.

Have you ever seen someone who lost control to demonic cultivation wake up again, and not only that, but their cultivation didn't drop, instead, it got stronger?

Yun managed to do it, not only did his cultivation not fall, but he achieved the Great Power Realm."

After hearing this, Yun Xi turned her head to glance at Ye Yun, who was following at a distance behind them.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled with curiosity about the current Ye Yun.

How could someone who lost control to demonic cultivation erase the negative effects it brings?

Yun Yao, of course, noticed Yun Xi's gaze, and her smile grew wider.

"Yun Xi, you know I'm only left with this one son, and you're like half a daughter to me, so I hope... you could really become my daughter."

The meaning was clear, and Yun Xi couldn't pretend not to understand.

A faint blush appeared on her originally fair face.

"Well... Auntie, I think we should take it slow. I just got here, it's a bit too rushed."

She didn't refuse, but she didn't immediately agree either.

Although she had a good impression of Ye Yun, as a girl, she still needed to maintain some reserve.

As someone with experience, Yun Yao naturally understood the deeper meaning in Yun Xi's words.

[I'm not quite ready yet, but I'm not opposed to it.]

The meaning was obvious.

Nodding repeatedly, Yun Yao agreed with a face full of smiles.

"Of course, you can. Stay here for a while, the more you get to know Yun, the more you'll realize how outstanding he is.

Moreover, your father mentioned this to me a long time ago, you were too young to know back then."

Hearing this made Yun Xi even more embarrassed. She didn't understand anything back then, and how could she have known her father's thoughts at the time?

...

Night gradually fell.

Under the moonlight, Ye Yun's palace was bustling with activity.

Yun Xi should have been arranged to stay at the guest quarters, but Yun Yao directly handed Yun Xi over to Ye Yun, asking him to take her back for a proper welcome.

Initially, Yun Xi wanted to refuse, but she couldn't resist her aunt's enthusiasm, so she reluctantly agreed.

As for Li Luo, he no longer dared to have any other thoughts and obediently went to the guest quarters.

Previously, Li Luo might have wanted to relentlessly pursue Yun Xi.

But now, he no longer has the courage.

Yun Yao, Ye Yun's mother, has made it very clear, and as long as Li Luo isn't a fool, he can see it.

If he dares to continue pestering Yun Xi, he might really end up in trouble.

Moreover, he still wants to gain Ye Yun's support, so how could he possibly offend Ye Yun over this?

Although Yun Xi is indeed very beautiful and captivating to Li Luo, compared to his ambitions for the throne, she is nothing.

As long as he can seize the throne, he can have any beautiful woman he desires, so there's no need to lose his greatest support over one woman.
