The rulers of the Xuantian Continent didn't dare to offend Vast Sky City, not only because of Emperor Mo's unfathomable cultivation, but also because Vast Sky City wasn't an ordinary city. Although it was a city, it was no different from a country.
Tianhao City had a total of twelve city gates. In the middle of the south was the Ming Gate, and on the east and west were the Xia Gate and An Gate respectively. In the middle of the east was the Chun Gate, and on the north and south were the Yanxing Gate and Tonghua Gate respectively. In the middle of the west was the Golden Light Gate, and on the north and south were the Yanping Gate and Kaiyuan Gate respectively. In the middle of the north and east were the Palace City North Wall and the Daming Palace South Wall respectively.
The entire city was shaped like a rectangle. There were long streets in all directions that led directly to the city tower, which was where Emperor Mo lived. The four interconnected streets were named after the four spirits of the heavens, namely the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise, the White Tiger, and the Azure Dragon.
"I am the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise, the Immortal Dao." Supreme looked at the White Tiger on the ground. Although his expression was indifferent, his tone was a bit emotional.
Ye Zhen didn't know much about Vast Sky City, and all she knew was from Little Fire Phoenix.
"Supreme, is the White Tiger carved on the street one of the legendary Holy Beasts?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
"It's not carved. The four streets of Vast Sky City are all sealed by the Holy Beasts. They protect Vast Sky City, which is why it's been so impregnable all these years," Supreme said.
Little Fire Phoenix glanced at Supreme, feeling indignant. If it wasn't for Emperor Mo, the four Holy Beasts wouldn't be guarding this place.
"Vermillion Bird …" Ye Zhen whispered, looking down at Little Fire Phoenix on her lap. "Is this a phoenix?"
"No." Little Fire Phoenix raised its head proudly. "Phoenixes look like us, but their blood isn't as pure as ours."
Ye Zhen was surprised. "So you're also a Vermillion Bird?"
Shang Shang heard their conversation and looked at Little Fire Phoenix thoughtfully.
"I …" The Little Fire Phoenix wanted to say that it was the descendant of the Vermillion Bird Sacred Beast, but because the Supreme was here, it couldn't say it. "Are we going to the tower now?"
Ye Zhen didn't know what Supreme was planning. She didn't want to go to the tower herself. Emperor Mo had disappeared after suppressing the Evil Beasts. Obviously, he didn't want to deal with them too much. If they went to the tower to find him, it would be too embarrassing.
"Let's go to Mo City Lord to cure your injury first." The Supreme said. He couldn't let anything happen to Ye Zhen. The longer the mark left by the fierce beast, the more difficult it would be to remove it.
"Actually, my wound doesn't seem to be a big deal. Maybe there is another way." Ye Zhen whispered. As long as she thought of begging Mo Di, her heart would be filled with a million reluctance.
"It's easy to heal but the marks are hard."
Little Fire Phoenix persuaded Ye Zhen. "Just listen to the Supreme Sovereign. Yaoyao, don't forget that we still have things to do."
It would be great if it had already recovered its strength as a Mythological Beast, but even if it had been bathed in fire, it still needed a period of time to recover. How could it protect her during this time?
"What if Emperor Mo is unwilling to help?" Ye Zhen asked faintly.
Little Fire Phoenix was stunned. It had never thought that Emperor Mo would not help. No matter how cold he appeared, he must be missing Ye Zhen somewhere in his heart. Even if the doppelganger's memories were locked, his emotions could not be changed.
"If City Lord Mo isn't willing to help, we'll think of other ways."
"Sorry, I've implicated you." Hearing their words, Dongfang Yun could roughly guess what had happened. If it weren't for the Bloodthirsty Grass on his body, this little brother wouldn't have been injured by the fierce beast.
"It has nothing to do with you …" Just as Ye Rou was about to say that it was all Dongfang Yu's fault, her shoulder suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if something was drilling into her blood vessels. "It hurts!"
The little fire phoenix cried out in alarm, "Yaoyao, Yaoyao!"
"Hurry up and look for City Lord Mo." "The mark of the fierce beast is forcing its way into her bloodline. If the mark is engraved in her blood, it will never be removed." Ye Zhen's eyes widened in shock as he looked at her.
"I don't want to beg him!" Ye Zhen's face was blue with pain. She didn't want to bow her head to Emperor Mo.
Little Fire Phoenix jumped anxiously. "Beg him or die, which do you choose?"
Ye Zhen's forehead was covered with cold sweat. She had never experienced such pain. It was more painful than when she gave birth!
Just as Lord Mo was about to pick her up, Emperor Mo suddenly appeared in front of the carriage. A pair of deep eyes stared at Ye Zhen's pale face with uncontrollable anger.
Would she rather die than beg him?
"Yaoyao …" Little Fire Phoenix saw that Ye Zhen was about to faint from the pain. She flapped her wings anxiously and turned to look at Emperor Mo.
"Give her to me." Emperor Mo said coldly.
Lord Mo picked Ye Zhen up horizontally. "City Lord Mo, this seat will go with you."
Seeing Ye Zhen in the arms of another man, Emperor Mo's face darkened even more. The black and red in his eyes became more obvious.
"Lord Mo, quickly hand Yaoyao over to Emperor Mo!" Little Fire Phoenix cried. What if the City Lord was angered?
"City Lord Mo, although Ye Zhen did not acknowledge this seat as her master, she has always been cultivating with this seat. This seat only wants to accompany her." Lord Mo said politely.
Emperor Mo said coldly, "If you want to save her, hand her over to me. Otherwise, scram."
Lord Mo frowned, puzzled by Emperor Mo's actions.
"I'm not going!" Ye Zhen gritted her teeth in pain. Her face paled and her vision darkened. She clutched Lord Mo's sleeves tightly, not wanting to be taken away by Emperor Mo.
She didn't want to owe him! There must be another way.
Although he looked like Mo Rongzhan, he was not Mo Rongzhan. Moreover, she still remembered what he said last time.
Emperor Mo turned to leave. The anger in his heart was already rising. She dared to be held by another man in front of him and even grabbed his clothes.
What made him even angrier was that he was actually angry. He had always hated women, even Ye Zhen.
"City Lord Mo!" Lord Mo stopped him. "This seat will hand her over to you. I hope you can remove her imprint. This seat will be forever grateful."
Ye Zhen floated out of Lord Mo's arms. No matter how she struggled, she was sent in front of Emperor Mo.
Emperor Mo's handsome face was expressionless. He reached out to hold Ye Zhen in his arms and left without looking at Lord Mo.
"Wait for me." Little Fire Phoenix flapped her wings and hurriedly followed, returning to Ye Zhen's space.
"I don't need your help!" Ye Zhen endured the pain and said to Emperor Mo through gritted teeth.
Emperor Mo looked down at her. "You owe me Lord Mo."
He helped her not because he was softhearted, but because he didn't want anything to happen to her. The memory of his clone was too deep. Who knew how many years it would take to erase it. If she died, it would be even more impossible to forget.
