Ye Zhen had never seen such an expression on Ming Xi's face. He was completely stunned, staring at the hundreds of monsters in front of him. "I … I don't know what I did."
"What do you mean you don't know?" Ye Zhen was so angry that she wanted to ask him loudly, but she was afraid of disturbing the monsters and had to lower her voice.
"Mother, I really don't know what happened. Those monsters suddenly appeared." Ming Xi whispered, "If you don't believe me, ask the fire phoenix."
Fire Phoenix testified on Ming Xi's behalf, "Yao Yao, what Ming Xi said is true. We didn't do anything. Originally, there was only one demon beast following us. Ming Xi and I wanted to lure it away so that it wouldn't discover our boat. Who knew … before we could lure it away, it would lure the other demon beasts over. However, those demon beasts didn't seem to notice our boat. We don't know why they've all gathered here."
Ye Zhen almost slapped the fire phoenix. "Do you think I will believe your nonsense?!"
"Yao Yao, I'm not lying." The fire phoenix cried. As a mythological beast, it was experienced and knowledgeable, but today's scene was the first time it had seen such a scene.
"What's the matter with those monsters?" Ye Zhen asked angrily. Don't look at Ming Xi's mature appearance. In fact, he was full of bad ideas. Just like his father emperor, he looked calm, steady, cold and indifferent, but in fact, he was a thick black ancestor. All the bad ideas were his own.
Ming Xi also shook his head. "Mother, I really don't know."
"Then …" Ye Zhen looked at the countless monsters in front of her. If they fought, it might attract more monsters and … Yan Mo.
Although Ye Zhen was not afraid of not being able to beat them, she didn't want to waste time on them at all. What if she delayed her return to the human world?
"They are not wrong. These monsters were not attracted by them." A low and cold voice rang out beside her ear. Emperor Mo had unknowingly appeared by her side, his gaze deep and cold as he stared in front of him.
"Then what attracted them?" Ye Zhen frowned, temporarily forgetting to keep a distance from him.
Ming Xi's eyes looked between the two for a while. These days, they had retreated again and he felt that his mother seemed a little different.
"Can't you see? Those beasts seem to be following the flying spirit ship, "Emperor Mo said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen was even more confused. She turned to look at Emperor Mo. "Follow the flying spirit ship?"
"Ming Xi cultivates the Undying Indestructible Technique. You also have the Devil Core on you. Demonic beasts have a keen sense of smell, so they must have sensed it. However, they did not discover the Flying Spirit Ship. Perhaps Ming Xi just went out and lured them here," Emperor Mo said.
"Then … when will they disperse?" Ye Zhen asked worriedly. "They won't keep following us, will they?"
Emperor Mo glanced up. "They will disperse once we leave the Flame Region."
"I hope so." Ye Rou frowned, still worried.
"Are you worried that you won't be able to return to the human world?" Emperor Mo pinched her chin tightly, forcing her to look him in the eye. "I said I would send you off."
Ye Zhen blushed and pushed his hand away. "I just don't want to waste time here."
What a waste of time …
Emperor Mo sighed and smiled bitterly in his heart. He cherished every moment he spent with her, but she could not wait to leave his side.
"I won't," he said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen looked up at him. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the voice of the Fire Phoenix.
"City Lord, I'm afraid we really have to waste some time." The Fire Phoenix had already spread its wings and soared into the sky, its sharp eyes looking ahead.
"In front …" Ye Zhen took a few steps forward. Among the demonic beasts, she seemed to see a tall and elegant figure. As the flying spirit ship drew closer, the jade-like face gradually became clearer in her sight.
The Supreme!
Ye Zhen's back tensed, her hands gripping the edge of the ship. She thought she would never have the chance to see him again.
Behind the Supreme were four young men she had never seen before. If she guessed correctly, they should be the Four Great Demon Generals of the Flame Region.
"Yao Yao, let's go back to the cabin first." Emperor Mo gently put his arm around her shoulders. His voice was always cold, but at this moment, there was a hint of gloomy solemnity.
"They're here for me." Ye Zhen said with almost certainty that the Supreme would appear here, with the Four Great Demon Generals following behind him. The answer she had resisted before was now without doubt.
He was the High Priest of the Flame Region. Otherwise, he would not be here.
The flying spirit ship seemed to be blocked by a force of resistance, gradually revealing its shape.
The surrounding fog dissipated, and Ye Zhen could see the figure in front of her more clearly.
It was the same as when he was always dressed in white at Mount Xingyun. The only difference was that his clothes were embroidered with dark black patterns. The patterns were complex, making his facial features look even more picturesque, elegant and noble. He stood as straight as an orchid, looking at Ye Zhen with clear and gentle eyes.
"Yao Yao, be obedient." Emperor Mo put his arm around Ye Zhen's slender waist. "Leave this to me."
Ye Zhen looked up at Emperor Mo. His handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, his eyes gloomy and cold. She nodded gently. "Mm."
"City Lord Mo, please forgive me for not going out to meet you." The Supreme's clear voice sounded. He came to the front of the flying spirit ship and looked at them with a smile.
"No need, I'm just passing by." Emperor Mo's voice was cold. "I'm flattered that the High Priest has come in person."
The Supreme smiled. "With City Lord Mo here, it's only right that anyone comes to welcome you."
Ye Zhen stared blankly at the Supreme, who was talking cheerfully and wittily. She found him unfamiliar, as if he was a completely different person from the Supreme Grand Exalt she had seen before.
"Since that's the case, please make way, High Priest," Emperor Mo said indifferently. Although his tone was calm, the arrogance and indifference between his brows gave off a biting coldness that no one dared to look directly at.
"It's not that I can't make way, but …" The Supreme looked at Ye Zhen darkly. "This seat wants to take our Demon King back."
Ye Zhen's eyes darkened slightly. He was coming for her.
"Oh? So the High Priest is going to find the Flame Demon King. I won't disturb you then, "Emperor Mo said coldly, tightening his grip on Ye Zhen.
A burly man standing behind the Supreme roared at Emperor Mo, "Emperor Mo, stop playing dumb. Let go of our Demon King!"
Emperor Mo didn't even bother to look at the burly man, completely ignoring him. "The High Priest has concealed his identity in the Great Sage Sect for so many years. It seems like your ability to recognize people has deteriorated to the point where even your Demon King would be mistaken."
There shouldn't be many people in the entire Xuantian Continent who knew that the Supreme was the High Priest. Who knew how much of a commotion this news would cause?
"I won't be mistaken." The Supreme said warmly. "Ye Zhen, your Demon Core has completely awakened, right?"
Ye Zhen pursed her lips and looked at him, thinking of the time they had spent together in Mount Xingyun this past year. "Are you really the High Priest of the Flame Region?"
Hearing Ye Zhen's words, the Supreme's thick, ink-like brows furrowed slightly. Had she not awakened yet? Did she not have any memories of the Flame Region at all?
