Other than Li Xinxin of the Tang Empire, Grand Elder Ouyang of the Saint Sect and Sect Lord Lu of the Great Sage Sect were also waiting for Emperor Mo in the main hall. After returning from the Flame Region, they realized that they still had to rely on Emperor Mo if they wanted to attack the Flame Region. They had yet to meet the Infernal King, and the four demon generals had yet to appear. They had almost failed. If they didn't annihilate the Flame Region completely, it would only be a matter of time before another war broke out.
"City Lord Mo, the Fiend King has yet to appear, the Four Great Demon Generals have already released their seals, and all the high-level demonic beasts in the Flame Region have already awakened. This is a sign of the return of the Flame Devil King. This is a provocation. The Flame Devil King has yet to give up on invading our continent. In order to avoid a second war, we should completely exterminate the Fiend King and the Four Great Demon Generals before the Flame Devil King appears," Grand Elder Ouyang said to Emperor Mo.
"That's right, City Lord Mo. Back then, you led everyone to exterminate the Flame Devil King. I hope that this time, you can lead us to protect the continent again," the Sect Master of the Greater One Sect said.
"City Lord Mo, please don't refuse." Peak Master Lu still maintained her arrogant attitude.
"…"
Emperor Mo silently listened to these people speak one after another. He sat there with a leisurely posture, and it was unknown whether or not he was listening to their words.
"City Lord?" Li Xinxin stood up and cupped her hands towards Emperor Mo. "If City Lord is willing to lead everyone to exterminate the Flame Region again, Xinxin is willing to devote her life to you."
"The number one beauty of the continent and City Lord Mo are a match made in heaven. This is truly a joyous occasion." Grand Elder Ouyang said with a smile.
Li Xinxin lowered her head and looked at Emperor Mo shyly.
Emperor Mo looked towards the door, and the corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile. "I am indebted to the princess, but unfortunately … I already have a wife."
"What?" Li Xinxin's expression changed. "Why haven't I heard of this before?"
"City Lord Mo, if you refuse, then refuse. Don't use such an excuse." Peak Master Lu sneered.
Yin Siyue's face turned ashen when she heard that Emperor Mo had a wife. Could it be that the woman mentioned by Bai Shisan was really the City Lord's wife in the Mortal Continent?
No, how could that woman be worthy of the City Lord?
"Do I need to find an excuse?" Mo Rongzhan asked lightly.
"City Lord Mo, may I know who your wife is …" Grand Elder Ouyang looked around, but he couldn't find anyone.
Emperor Mo looked at the door. "She's shy."
Li Xinxin noticed that Emperor Mo's gaze was fixated on the outside. Unwilling to give up, she flashed and saw the back of a figure about to turn and leave.
"Stop right there!" Li Xinxin shouted and stood directly in front of Ye Zhen. When she saw Ye Zhen's appearance, her eyes showed strong jealousy and anger.
"What's up?" Ye Rou raised her eyes and looked at Li Xinxin indifferently. She should be the woman who had offered to marry Emperor Mo in the hall.
Li Xinxin looked at Ye Zhen. She was the most beautiful woman in the mainland and had a rare physique suitable for dual cultivation. No matter where she went, she was the moon surrounded by stars. She never thought that there was a woman who could surpass her in appearance.
"You … Who are you?" Li Xinxin was unwilling. There was actually someone who looked better than her.
Ye Zhen's eyes flashed with sarcasm. "You stopped me, but you don't know who I am?"
"You are … are you the wife of the city lord?" Li Xinxin gritted her teeth and asked, feeling as if a needle was pricking her heart.
"No." Ye Zhen said coldly. She had intended to denounce Mo Di, but she had just walked to the door of the hall and had no time to go in to find Mo Di. He actually said such a thing in public. Although he did not directly point out that it was her, he was looking at her. Wouldn't that cause a misunderstanding?
Li Xinxin looked happy. Not this woman? Who else could it be?
"Yao Yao, come here." Emperor Mo came out at some point and stood not far from Ye Zhen, calling her in a gentle voice.
"…" Ye Zhen's face darkened. Hearing him call her Yao Yao, she seemed to hear Mo Rongzhan whispering in her ear. Damn it, how could Emperor Mo call her Yao Yao!
Ye Zhen looked back at him coldly.
"How could it be her!" Recognizing Ye Zhen, Lord Lu's face suddenly turned pale. "Why are you here?"
How could Ye Zhen come back alive from the Yan Region? Moreover, she was with Emperor Mo. No, could it be that Emperor Mo was talking about Ye Zhen?
"City Lord Mo, have you mistaken me for someone else?" Ye Zhen asked coldly.
"Madam, you must be joking." Emperor Mo said lightly. How could his wife be mistaken?
Li Xinxin showed a smile that was uglier than crying. "When did City Lord Mo get married? Why is there no news at all?"
"Yes, he didn't even drink a cup of wine." Great Elder Ouyang was also shocked.
Emperor Mo walked up to Ye Zhen, step by step. Looking down at her angry little face, he felt inexplicably happy. "I have an engagement with the Ye family's third daughter. We've known each other for a long time."
Ye Zhen's face was covered with a layer of black fog. If eyes could kill, Emperor Mo would have died a thousand times.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Zhen cried in a low voice.
"Stop it." Emperor Mo tapped her forehead lightly, then turned to look coldly at Great Elder Ouyang and the others. "The Fiend King was seriously injured by me, and his right hand was cut off. He should have fled to the Yan Region. His life is mine. As for the rest, you can do as you wish. Haotian City will not interfere."
Great Elder Ouyang frowned. "City Lord Mo, are you not worried that the Flame Devil King will return and invade the continent again?"
"They have not invaded the continent yet," Emperor Mo said calmly. The Xuantian Continent and the Yan Region were two different living spaces. Under the jurisdiction of the God Continent, they did not disturb each other.
If the Xuantian Continent's martial artists were too ruthless, the God Continent's Supreme Saints would not sit idly by.
Using the Yan Region to restrict the Xuantian Continent, then having him suppress the Yan Region … wasn't that the God Continent's rules?
This was also the reason why Emperor Mo did not want to become a Saint. He felt that the God Continent might not be as free as the Xuantian Continent.
"We have to be prepared." Great Elder Ouyang said. "City Lord Mo, are you afraid of the Flame Devil King?"
"Is there anyone in this continent that our City Lord is afraid of?" Yin Siyue snorted coldly.
"Then why is City Lord Mo unwilling to protect the Xuantian Continent?" Great Elder Ouyang asked.
Because he did not want to display his power, lest he be forced to become a Saint. If that happened …
Emperor Mo could not explain why, although he was obsessed with cultivation, he did not want to become a Saint. It was as if he could not let go of the ties in his heart.
"Great Elder Ouyang, protecting the Xuantian Continent is the responsibility of your sects, not mine." Emperor Mo said coldly. "That's all I have to say. Please leave."
