Qin Moyu's questions were like cannonballs that Shen Yebai had no way to parry. When Qin Moyu looked at him with hateful eyes, even though he knew that in Qin Moyu's eyes he was Mo Yuan and not Shen Yebai, he still couldn't control his heart. pain.

Don't look at me like this...

Shen Yebai wanted to hug Qin Moyu, but he didn't dare to tell Qin Moyu before resolving his relationship with Shen Mo.

So in the end, all he could answer was endless silence.

What broke Shen Yebai's silence was not the dagger Qin Moyu quietly took out from his sleeve, but the howl of a wolf.

When Shen Yebai heard the howl of the wolf, his eyes changed instantly. He pulled Qin Moyu up and protected him in front of Qin Moyu with an extremely familiar attitude.

He was obviously unwilling to tell himself the truth, yet he stood in front of him without hesitation when danger came.

Qin Moyu finally began to believe that the inexplicable feeling of familiarity he felt after meeting Mo Yuan was not his own fault.

But until he knew the truth, he still couldn't trust Mo Yuan.

"I don't need your protection." Qin Moyu forcefully pulled away Shen Yebai's hand and took a step forward to be beside him. A cluster of red lotus fire bloomed in the night sky, like a faint blue fire floating in the air.

"I know." Shen Yebai pursed his lips and stopped forcing Qin Moyu to lean back.

Shen Yebai, who was in a state of confusion, completely forgot that as Mo Yuan, he should be surprised that Qin Moyu possessed the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

The scale of doubt added another weight to Shen Yebai, and Qin Moyu lowered his eyes.

A black shadow appeared on the top of the mountain. The black shadow ran towards the two of them. It was not until they got closer that they saw that it was Mo Jin. After he came down, he said succinctly: "The wolves are out. And they are still heading in our direction. Maybe they're targeting us."

"Then we want to fight?" Qin Moyu frowned as he felt the resonance of the wolves running towards him under his feet.

Is this too much?

"No, it will take some time for them to come here. I asked the girl to leave first, and we also headed towards Chenmen."

"Now it's time for us to see who's faster."

Mo Jin made a rare joke, but unfortunately no one present laughed. He touched his nose awkwardly, quickly summoned the heavy sword, and motioned for Qin Moyu to come up.

Qin Moyu nodded, and when he was about to go up, he was held back by Shen Yebai.

"your problem……"

Shen Yebai's eyes were heavy and he held Qin Moyu's hand tightly.

Their eyes met, and it was clear that not long ago they were intimate partners, but now they were face to face but could not recognize each other.

"wait for me."

Shen Yebai looked deeply at Qin Moyu and made his final promise: "I will tell you everything when I leave Chenmen."

Qin Moyu looked at him and suddenly smiled.

This smile made Shen Yebai's heart skip a beat. Qin Moyu opened Shen Yebai's fingers one by one, then indifferently retracted his hand and stood on the heavy sword.

He didn't say yes, and he didn't say no. I'm afraid even Qin Moyu himself didn't know what he meant.

Mo Jin could only think about leaving quickly. The conversation between Qin Moyu and Shen Yebai had been delayed for a long time. When he saw Qin Moyu coming up, he immediately flew away with his sword, not wanting to give Shen Yebai a ride.

Under the starless and moonless night, Shen Yebai was the only one who stared blankly at his opened hand, speechless for a long time.

…………

It was already dawn when Mo Jin led Qin Moyu to Chenmen as quickly as possible. What was strange was that they could no longer hear the howls of the wolves not long after they left the hillside, and Shen Yebai did not follow.

Zuo Shu arrived at the Chenmen a little earlier than the two of them, but because her identity was unknown, she was not let in by the Chenmen disciples. However, when Qin Moyu and the others arrived, she opened the door and let them in.

"Girl, do you want to go in and wait?" Mo Jin looked at Zuo Shu at the door, feeling that it was not good to leave her alone outside the door.

Hearing this, Zuo Shu just shook her head and said with a smile, "I'll wait for you, young master."

Mo Jin nodded and did not force the other party to come in.

He turned to look at Qin Moyu and said apologetically: "Sorry, I may have to go back to my master first. I'll have someone arrange a place for you to stay and rest first."

Qin Moyu naturally couldn't force the other party to accompany him, and besides, he really needed to be quiet now, so he nodded in agreement.

Mo Jin casually grabbed a familiar disciple, gave a few instructions and left.

Qin Moyu was taken to his residence by his disciple, and he glanced at the door before leaving.

Zuo Shu was still the only figure at the door.

Although Mo Jin did not have time to take Qin Moyu to his residence, he repeatedly emphasized to the disciple that he should treat Qin Moyu well, so even the temporary guest room was an elegant and quiet place with exquisite decoration and complete furniture.

Qin Moyu thought about all the things that were wrong with Mo Yuan since they met. He always felt that the clues were mixed and pointed in the same direction, but he could not piece together the truth.

It's like the most crucial piece of the puzzle is missing, something is always missing.

Mo Yuan...

Qin Moyu murmured these two words unconsciously, but what faintly flashed in his mind was Shen Yebai's face.

On the other side, Zuo Shu finally waited for Shen Yebai. However, unlike the neat clothes before they separated, Shen Yebai was still dressed in the same way. However, dark blood stains could be faintly seen on the black cuffs, and there was a faint trace of blood. The smell of blood came from him, as if he had just experienced a battle, and the whole person looked depressed and violent.

When he walked to the door, the disciple at the door almost subconsciously called for help, because Mo Yuan really looked too scary now. He didn't even dare to look directly into Mo Yuan's eyes. He could only be suppressed by the opponent's aura, stiff. He spoke: "Please... may I ask... Your Excellency..."

"Mo Yuan." Shen Yebai directly reported his name and glanced at Zuo Shu next to him.

Zuo Shu, who had been paddling in the water as a background, finally began to play her role. She walked up to the disciple, handed the token of the Southern Kingdom royal family to the disciple, and said with a smile: "Give this to your sect leader, he will know How to do it."

The disciple did not dare to neglect and sent the things in as quickly as possible.

The Chenmen Sect Master arrived much faster than expected, and it wasn't just the Chenmen Sect Master who came.

The disciple swallowed subconsciously when he saw the solemn-looking leaders of the sects and families who were rarely seen coming out of the door gathered together.

I'm afraid more than half of the forces in Xizhou are here, right?

Being in Chenmen, the master of Chenmen is naturally the one who calls the shots. His eyes were fixed on Shen Yebai, and his voice was as cold as frost: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Even though he had received notification from his disciples that Mo Yuan was coming, the leader of Chenmen didn't expect him to come so quickly and bring a damn token.

Shen Yebai just wanted to complete the deal with Shen Mo quickly and explain everything to Qin Moyu, so he didn't make any twists and turns and said straightforwardly: "Let me enter Duxin Lake."

"Impossible." The leader of Chenmen refused without even thinking, "That's my restricted area, how can you come in just as you say?"

"I have to go." Shen Yebai didn't give in.

"Don't tell me that you don't know what it means to go there. Although you have the Southern Ancestor behind you, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. You must know that our Demon Lord has broken through the Tribulation Stage before your Southern Ancestor. ." The leader of Chenmen also had a cold face, and the people around him nodded in agreement.

Most people don't know who the power behind Mo Yuan is, but it's impossible for the heads of these sects not to know that what Mo Yuan really relies on is not Yunqi Tower at all, but the royal family of the Southern Kingdom. They can even directly talk to Shen. Ink is inextricably linked.

"The Demon Lord did say that he would hide from the world, but some things can't be avoided just by pretending that they never happened. I don't ask for much. As long as the Demon Lord and I can meet, the outcome has nothing to do with you."

Shen Yebai glanced around and added faintly: "Besides, everyone must have received the letter from the Southern Kingdom Royal Family, otherwise you wouldn't have gathered here to discuss whether to agree. If I were allowed to go in and meet the Demon Lord, then All problems will be solved by then.”

This explanation made everyone present feel excited.

In fact, what troubled them was not the face issue of whether they could enter the Chenmen Forbidden Area casually. The letter they received before was the most important thing, which was a matter of life and death.

Even the head of Chenmen, who had been thinking about it for many days, must admit that the words Shen Yebai threw out were extremely tempting.

But this matter was of great importance. The leader of Chenmen wanted to find out more information to give himself an advantage, so he changed the subject and said, "Is everything you said in your letter true?"

"Of course." Zuo Shu suddenly intervened in the topic and took off her veil without waiting for anyone to question her identity. Her smiling look made many people feel panicked.

No one present had ever seen Shen Mo, the legendary great master in the tribulation period, but no one did not know his two cronies: Zuo Shu and Chen Yi.

During the Four Continents War, it was Zuo Shu and Chen Yi who blocked the assassins who tried to prevent Shen Mo from breaking through. They even participated in the fight after Shen Mo broke through, making them intimidating with their tacit cooperation and terrifying strength.

Zuo Shu Moyuan came to visit before, and later the southern army pressed on the border. The leader of the Chenmen once again asked the question that everyone present was concerned about: "What exactly do you want to do? If you do this, you won't be afraid of provoking the second Four Seasons." A continental war?"

"No, the Emperor never wanted to provoke a second four-continent war."

Zuo Shu's eyebrows were crooked, and her gentle eyes only contained endless admiration and awe for Shen Mo. Her voice was rare and high-spirited, like a loyal minister fanatically believing in his king:

"The Emperor has only one purpose——"

At this moment, Shen Yebai remembered that he had asked Shen Mo that day what he had been planning for so long. Shen Mo casually fiddled with the things needed to set up the formation, chuckled, and said four words. Character:

"Proclaimed Emperor of the Four Continents."

In just four words, a shocking plan had been dormant for many years, and it was even completed at the expense of splitting Shen Yebai.

Everyone present thought they heard wrongly, but looking at Zuo Shu's smile and Nan Guo's recent actions, they all had to accept this ridiculous result.

Not that no one questions:

"But even if you can capture Xizhou, you will have to pay a huge price. What about Dongzhou? What about Beizhou?"

"Sorry." Zuo Shu put on the veil again and smiled.

"Now only Xizhou remains unsolved. The Guanlan Sect, several major families in Dongzhou, and the Beizhou tribe have all agreed to our conditions."
