Ye Zhen's emotions were very complicated. She hated him, hated him for using Mo Rongzhan's appearance to provoke her, causing her to mistake him for someone else. In fact … after being poisoned by the Soul Bewitching Incense, she mistook him for Mo Rongzhan to cure her of the poison. She was almost unable to distinguish between him and Mo Rongzhan. She was very afraid.
Afraid that if she fell in love with him, how would she face Ah Zhan when she returned?
She had been overwhelmed by guilt and self-blame these past few days, and so she didn't want to owe him anything.
"Yaoyao, don't feel guilty." Emperor Mo could tell what she was thinking at a glance. "Those people outside aren't certain that you are the Flame Devil King at all. In the past two hundred years, they have wanted to act against Haotian City for a long time, but they didn't have an excuse. You just so happen to be their excuse. Even without you, they would have found an excuse to act against me sooner or later."
"Why would they want to act against you? You protected the Xuantian Continent and once killed the Flame Devil King. Shouldn't they be grateful to you? "Ye Zhen didn't understand what those people were thinking. Emperor Mo should be indebted to the entire continent.
Emperor Mo laughed softly. "Yaoyao, you have a Celestial spirit root. You are not suited for the Xuantian Continent at all."
"What do you mean by that?" Ye Zhen asked unhappily.
"Let's talk as we walk." Emperor Mo held Ye Zhen's hand as they walked towards the city walls.
Ye Zhen struggled to break free of his hand, but he said calmly, "Leave this place immediately. We may never see each other again. Let me hold your hand for a while longer."
His indifferent tone was strangely filled with sorrow. Ye Zhen stiffened and didn't struggle any further.
"The Xuantian Continent is different from what you imagine it to be. This is a place where the strong prey on the weak. Every sect fights in secret, and every martial artist trains for the sake of defeating others. Yaoyao, my existence is a threat to every single one of them, and every single sect wishes for nothing more than for me not to exist. Thus, although those people outside say that they want to deal with you, they actually want to seize this opportunity to destroy Vast Sky City." Emperor Mo explained casually.
"You … what level of cultivation are you at? Why are they so afraid of you?" Ye Zhen asked.
Emperor Mo glanced down at her. "I don't know either."
"How could there be someone who doesn't know his own cultivation?!" Ye Zhen frowned and looked at him, "Forget it, they can't kill you even if they want to. When I leave here, Ye Jingshu will definitely reveal her true face, and then they will know that they misunderstood you."
"You're right." Emperor Mo nodded gently. Ye Jingshu has no devil core, and her cultivation can't be the same as in her previous life. She may not even be able to practice immortality. What she wants most now should be Ye Zhen.
"His Excellency should know that Ye Jingshu is the Flame Devil King, right? Why is there no news from him at all?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully. "I'll send him a voice transmission talisman."
Emperor Mo pressed her hand down and looked at her indifferently. "Even now, you still believe in him?"
Ye Zhen's hands were held by him, and she frowned slightly. "What's wrong with him?"
"The supreme one is the High Priest of the Flame Region." Emperor Mo said in a low voice, "The last time Fiend King was severely injured by me in the Heaven Fiend Mystic Realm, he was the one who brought Fiend King to Mt. Xingyun. This time, he even brought Ye Jingshu back. Haven't you noticed anything wrong with him?"
"High Priest?" Ye Zhen was stunned. She carefully recalled her interactions with the supreme one, and she really didn't notice anything strange. "Could it be that the supreme … already knew that I have a devil core? Then why is he so good to me and teaching me cultivation? "
Emperor Mo said, "To pave the way for others."
"What?" Ye Zhen frowned. "He's helping me because of Ye Jingshu?"
"No matter what, you just need to know that he is the High Priest," Emperor Mo said indifferently.
Ye Zhen didn't want to believe that the supreme one was using her, but if he was the High Priest, it seemed to be the same as what Emperor Mo said.
"I know, anyway … I won't see him again." Ye Zhen whispered, "Let go of my hand."
"Okay." Emperor Mo agreed with a smile, but he still held her hand. "I'll take you to see the flying spirit ship."
Ye Zhen knew that the flying spirit ship he was talking about must be different from the one she took to the Flame Region last time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long. "Is it certain that I can go back after going to the Divine Continent?"
"Yes." Emperor Mo held her hand tightly. He walked very slowly. After today, he would never have the chance to be with her like this again.
"Great." Ye Zhen couldn't help but laugh.
Emperor Mo looked at her indifferently. "Are you happy?"
"Of course I'm happy." Ye Zhen's lips curled up high. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Do you miss your daughter very much?" Emperor Mo pursed his thin lips, a little girl who looked very similar to her appeared in his mind.
Ye Zhen smiled. "I miss Ming Yu and Ah Zhan."
Emperor Mo's eyes darkened as he flew into the air with her. Soon, they returned to the refinery in the tower. In the vast open space, a black flying spirit ship appeared in Ye Zhen's sight. It was different from the flying spirit ship she had seen before. The one in front of her looked smaller, but its shape was different. Moreover, the material of the ship's hull was unknown, but she could feel a strange pressure from afar.
"This is …" Ye Zhen looked at the ship in surprise. "It's all spirit stones?"
She remembered that the flying spirit ships of the Holy Sects were powered by spirit stones. At most, they were hidden in the ship's propellers. But the flying spirit ship in front of her was made entirely of spirit stones?
"Yes, it can enter the Divine Continent invisibly," Emperor Mo said in a low voice.
"How many spirit stones did this ship use?" Ye Zhen asked in shock. "Can I go up and have a look?"
Emperor Mo nodded with a smile and led her into the flying spirit ship. The hull didn't look big, but it was still two stories high. The cabin had two wings, and the deck was equipped with hidden weapons and cannons. It looked similar to the warships she had seen before, but this one was more exquisite.
"The spirit stones on this ship can only support us to the Divine Continent," Emperor Mo said. "The Divine Continent is different from here. Everyone there is a saint."
"Your cultivation is so powerful. Are you going to the Divine Continent in the future?" Ye Zhen asked.
"If I'm a saint …" Emperor Mo looked down at her, his eyes sparkling. "Then I won't have emotions and desires. What's so good about being a saint?"
Ye Zhen's heart tightened inexplicably. She avoided his eyes. "Thank you for sending us back."
"I don't want to, and I can't bear to," Emperor Mo whispered in her ear. Emperor Mo whispered in her ear, "That's why I'm very unhappy that this flying spirit ship was built. Without this flying spirit ship, you wouldn't be able to return."
"You …" Ye Zhen turned to glare at him.
Emperor Mo smiled and lowered his head to kiss her cheek. "But you have to leave this place."
She should return to her place. That was the safest place.
