# Chapter 1339: Yiren Lei's Thoughts
The domineering demon shadow landed on the ground, and the terrifying demonic will in Lin Feng's eyes gradually dissipated, transforming into deep, pitch-black pupils.
"Unfortunately, my demonic will is still not strong enough, and my Demon Essence is far from sufficient. I cannot unleash the true power of the Nine Nether Demon Melody. Otherwise, once the melody manifested, they would have instantly become demon puppets," Lin Feng thought to himself. No one understood his own power better than he did. What allowed the Nine Nether Demon Melody to display its current might was truly the demonic will he had comprehended in the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's demon hall, along with that wisp of the Nine Nether Demon Emperor's demon emperor will, combined with his own demonic techniques and Demon Essence, driving the Nine Nether Demon Melody.
Although he had killed quite a few people, those with weaker strength could actually be directly ignored. What truly mattered was looking at the two strongest he had slain to measure his actual combat power. Killing these two had not been easy. The Curse Scepter, the Nine Nether Demon Melody, and terrifying demonic power had all been used to accomplish it. Those who had comprehended Sixth Layer Essence still posed a considerable threat to him.
Although he had stepped into the Sovereign Martial Realm and become a Demon Venerable, his Essence power had not yet fully caught up. Currently, his most powerful methods he could rely on were the fused Essence sword technique divine ability, the terrifying demonic will contained in his demon eye, the Nine Nether Demon Melody, and two Supreme Sacred Artifacts.
"Now, with pure demonic power combined with demonic attack divine abilities and domain force, I can directly kill Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm. Of course, this is still far from enough."
Lin Feng weighed the gains and losses of this battle in his heart, then slowly lifted his gaze toward the Sixth Prince.
"Their deaths don't seem to concern the Sixth Prince at all," Lin Feng said coldly. The Sixth Prince had watched his slaughter, but his gaze had remained calm from beginning to end. He was not at all angered by their deaths, nor did he step forward for them. Lin Feng had every reason to believe that as a true son of a Martial Emperor, inheriting the Martial Emperor bloodline, even if the Sixth Prince was only at the Fourth Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, he was definitely the strongest among that group. Yet, he had shown no intention whatsoever of making a move.
"They were all my friends, but you are my imperial sister's man. Naturally, I wouldn't want to see you fight to the death. Now that this outcome has occurred, I can only grieve for them," the Sixth Prince said calmly. At this moment, a figure flew through the air and landed before the Sixth Prince, saying, "Your Highness, more and more people are gathering. We..."
"Let them through," the Sixth Prince said indifferently. The man nodded slightly, bowed, and retreated, instantly flickering away.
A cold gleam flashed through Lin Feng's pupils as he looked at the faint smile on the Sixth Prince's lips. This fellow was ruthless enough, using others as knives to kill.
"Boom!" Waves of vast, powerful auras rolled in from outside, all extremely cold and strong, filled with intense killing intent.
"Dao He!" Dao Gu's gaze fell on the already shattered corpse, his face pale and extremely ugly.
"My son!"
"Yang Fan!" These experts had bloodshot eyes and grim expressions. Those who had gathered at the Sixth Prince's gathering were all sons of noble families from the empire, backed by powerful forces, allowing them to have a place in the imperial palace on this glacier and bathe in the divine temple's radiance. These arriving individuals were their elders. Having sensed the soul jades their descendants had condensed shatter, they had rushed over.
Upon arrival, there were only corpses scattered on the ground.
"Your Highness!" These people's auras surged powerfully. When they released their cold intent, the entire void was filled with overwhelming oppressive energy, terrifying to the extreme. Their gazes all locked onto the Sixth Prince. Who had killed their offspring?
"All of you brothers fought with Mu Feng, the man of my imperial sister Yiren. As you elders can see, I was powerless and failed to stop this battle!"
The Sixth Prince slightly bowed to the crowd, his voice carrying a hint of apology. The crowd's hearts skipped a beat, and they felt only intense indignation.
Powerless? Failed to stop?
In the Sixth Prince's palace, if he hadn't wanted Lin Feng to kill people, could Lin Feng have slain so many? He simply hadn't bothered to intervene at all!
"Hypocrite!"
Everyone present was shrewd. They only needed to think a little to understand what had happened. They had naturally heard of Mu Feng long ago. Clearly, this battle had been fought with the Sixth Prince's tacit approval. The Sixth Prince was using their blades to kill Lin Feng.
But even knowing this, what could they do? The people had indeed been killed by Lin Feng. They couldn't do anything to the Sixth Prince. So they had to lend him their blades and vent their anger on Lin Feng. Only by killing Lin Feng could they release their fury.
A series of icy, murderous gazes fell upon Lin Feng. This was merely a young man at the First Layer of Sovereign Martial Realm, Yiren Lei's man. Truly extraordinary.
"You killed them?" Dao Gu's eyes were ice-cold, like an unsheathed blade cutting into Lin Feng.
"Dao Gu challenged me to a battle many days ago, a life-and-death battle. Don't tell me you didn't know," Lin Feng's cold pupils swept toward Dao Gu. At this moment, Yiren Lei also arrived at Lin Feng's side, wrapping her arm around his and said coldly, "I witnessed the entire battle with my own eyes. They were all killed by my man. But the moment they stood up and released their killing intent, they had already declared war on my man. Defeated in battle and killed is an honorable matter. If you elders bully my man because your juniors lost and died in battle, I guarantee that my mother will annihilate every single one of you!"
As she spoke, killing intent also spread from Yiren Lei's body, becoming exceptionally forceful.
The crowd's expressions stiffened slightly at Yiren Lei's words, becoming very ugly. Among this group, aside from the Dao family who belonged to the Snow Lord's lineage, the others all belonged to the Ice Emperor's faction. If they gave the Snow Lord a reason, she really would annihilate them. Especially if the reason was that they had killed the Snow Lord's son-in-law, even the Ice Emperor would be unable to stop it.
But if they were to simply give up on killing Lin Feng like this, wouldn't their offspring have died in vain?
"Your Highness, you know very well how Dao He treated you and how the Dao family treated you. Now that Dao He has been killed, does he die in vain?" Dao Gu spoke with righteous indignation, his eyes bloodshot. Dao He's talent was undeniably powerful. Dao Gu had even hoped that Dao He would win over Yiren Lei. Dao He was the hope of the Dao family. Now, he was dead.
Yiren Lei showed no fluctuation at Dao Gu's words. She understood the Dao family's intentions like a mirror. Everything was for profit. There was no need to talk about feelings, because none existed.
"Dao He challenged Lin Feng to a battle. I imagine my mother also gave her approval. If Dao He had killed Lin Feng, I wouldn't have said a single word. But since it was a life-and-death battle and he died at Lin Feng's hands, he died with dignity in battle. How can you say he died in vain? The Dao family doesn't need to pin this debt on my man. If you want to argue, you can go talk to my mother!"
Yiren Lei's proud voice carried a forceful attitude as she swept her gaze over the crowd: "Anyone who wants to touch my man can go discuss it with my mother!"
With that, Yiren Lei directly wrapped her arm around Lin Feng's body, turned around, and soared into the air, heading into the distance, completely ignoring everyone.
Terrifying killing intent raged and spread through the void. Those people had ice-cold eyes, their murderous aura seemingly impossible to suppress. They wished they could immediately strike and kill Lin Feng and Yiren Lei. But having reached their level of cultivation and age, they weighed everything before acting. They couldn't let anger cloud their judgment, even if their offspring had been killed.
Of course, they wouldn't let Lin Feng off so easily either. Definitely not.
Yiren Lei brought Lin Feng back to her own palace, landed on the ground, and let out a peal of laughter, enchanting and seductive.
"My man, you're making Yiren a little infatuated!" Yiren Lei hooked onto Lin Feng, her seductive charm natural and effortless, blending into every subtle movement and every trace of a smile.
"My woman, can you stop tempting me like this?" Lin Feng felt the fiery body pressed against him and couldn't help but feel speechless. If he kept her by his side forever, would he completely fall into the six desires?
"Being able to tempt my man is Yiren's honor!" Yiren Lei said with a teasing smile, rubbing her body against Lin Feng's, making him silently curse this enchantress.
"How do we deal with this next?" Lin Feng smiled bitterly, suppressing his six desires and asking.
"We leave!" Yiren Lei laughed charmingly.
"Leave?" Lin Feng was speechless. Weren't they supposed to enter the divine temple?
"Alright, my man. You've already done what needed to be done. Next, just listen to your woman," Yiren Lei said with a smile still full of endless seduction.
"I still have one doubt. Why did the Sixth Prince do this?" Lin Feng asked in a low voice. Those born into imperial families should all be skilled in scheming. For example, Duan Wuya from before was like that, deep and extremely treacherous. Initially, Lin Feng thought the Sixth Prince was using others as knives to kill him. But later, he discovered things weren't as simple as he had imagined.
Lin Feng was never very good at this kind of political maneuvering. If those people ultimately couldn't kill him, wouldn't the Sixth Prince have created resentment among them?
"That imperial brother of mine doesn't care at all what outsiders think of him, nor does he care whether those people are loyal to him. What he cares about is only strength. He knows very well that as long as he is the first to step into the Martial Emperor Realm, he will be the supreme ruler of the empire's future. So his first priority is to obtain the greatest benefits from the Ice and Snow Divine Temple. And he seems to have always considered me a huge threat. So his target isn't external, but rather the Ice and Snow Divine Temple!" Yiren Lei explained to Lin Feng.
"Meaning, his goal is to deal with us inside the divine temple?"
"Yes. Some of the empire's nobles also have quotas to enter the divine temple," Yiren Lei said. Lin Feng understood now. He just wondered if the Sixth Prince wasn't worried that those nobles' descendants entering the divine temple would also hinder him.
"As for today, I had you kill people just to get that enchantress's approval!" Yiren Lei said with a smile. As long as that enchantress approved, Lin Feng wouldn't die!
