Zhao Hua smiled smugly; she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Ye Luo, you'd better hurry if you want to save your brother, otherwise the volcano will erupt." Zhao Hua said with a smug look in his eyes, "I wonder if you'll be able to get there in time to collect your brother's body."
Zhao Hua was unwilling to accept it. Her child was dead, so no one else related to Li Muge, except for Emperor Wuchen, was entitled to happiness.
"What did you say?" Ye Luo frantically broke free from Wu Chen's magical control and ran to the crater, but before she could even get close, she watched helplessly as the volcano erupted.
Wuchen was equally surprised; he did indeed want the Immortal Alliance and Ye Luo to fight amongst themselves.
However, he never intended to kill Ye Yingyuan.
“Zhaohua.” Wuchen asked, puzzled.
"Your Majesty, you are too soft-hearted, which is why you have been repeatedly used by these people, and so have we; poor child, these people are not innocent at all." Zhao Hua concealed the hatred in his eyes.
The volcanic eruption came faster than Zhao Hua had imagined.
"No." Ye Luo's eyes were filled with despair: "Ying Yuan."
Zhao Hua smiled faintly; this was the consequence of opposing her and the Emperor.
Ye Luo desperately wanted to reach the crater, but the next second a familiar phoenix cry came, and Wu Chen seemed to freeze.
"Mu Ge, Li Mu Ge."
Amidst the ever-flowing lava, a fiery phoenix struggled to emerge, cradling the unconscious Ye Yingyuan in her arms.
"Yingyuan." Ye Luo staggered over and took Ye Yingyuan from Phoenix's hands. Li Muge returned to her original form as soon as she touched the ground.
When the volcano erupted from the cave entrance, she thought she and Ying Yuan were doomed.
However, Li Muge did not expect that at the crucial moment, she would actually transform into the Phoenix Goddess. Li Muge thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out why she didn't have wings on her back if she could transform into a phoenix, and why she had to work so hard to help Ye Yingyuan climb up.
"Li Muge, how dare you appear before this Emperor!" The love in Wuchen's eyes slowly turned into hatred. With a wave of his hand, he controlled a stream of magma to rush directly towards Li Muge.
"Be careful." Ye Luo suddenly pulled Li Muge away and raised his sword to cut through the lava.
"Wuchen, you will pay the price for what you have done." Ye Luo slashed a sword at Wuchen, who then plucked the strings of his zither.
The strings of the zither met the sword energy.
Ye Luo's gentle eyes now held a hint of cunning: "Wu Chen, do you think you've obtained the Wu Chen Pearl? It's nothing but a fake."
"What?" Upon hearing Ye Luo's words, Wu Chen hurriedly checked the World-Suppressing Pearl in his hand, only to discover that the pearl had turned into a stone pearl right under his nose.
"How could this be?" Wuchen clearly couldn't accept the fact that he had been tricked by Ye Luo.
Ye Luo gritted her teeth: "Wu Chen, do you really think I would abandon the world and its people?"
"This is the Illusion Stone of the East Sea, which can transform into anything its master desires. Wuchen, all your scheming has come to nothing. I don't know who is more pathetic between us."
"How dare you play tricks on this Emperor!" Wuchen clenched his fists.
He was born a chosen one, always praised wherever he went, and had never suffered such humiliation.
"Fine, since that's how it is, then none of you will survive today." Wuchen immediately cast a spell, and the music of the zither transformed into a prison.
Ye Luo immediately realized what was happening: "Everyone cover your ears, don't listen to anything!"
Unfortunately, her reminder came too late.
The moment Li Muge heard the music, her eyelids suddenly felt extremely heavy, and she fainted and collapsed to the ground.
After she fainted, she found herself in an extremely unfamiliar environment where she met two strange men and women who claimed to be her parents. They called them the Phoenix King and Phoenix Queen.
For some reason, Li Muge instinctively felt disgusted by how the two addressed each other.
The Empress smiled kindly: "Mu Ge, your eldest daughter is about to get married, how can you be so rash?"
"Getting married." Li Muge looked somewhat terrified: "Auntie, are you mistaken? I might not be your daughter. Why would I get married? Marrying Changyan?"
The Empress gently tapped Li Muge's nose: "Silly girl, you are my daughter, how could I possibly mistake you?"
Then the woman named Feng Hou pulled Li Muge in front of a bronze mirror. Li Muge could hardly believe her eyes; her face had transformed into Ye Luo's face.
Li Muge was beginning to believe it.
She might actually have swapped faces with Ye Luo.
But what kind of place is this? Li Muge pressed her head and tried desperately to recall, but just as she managed to grasp some memories, she heard some faint music in her ears, which made her memories in her mind gradually become confused.
They couldn't even remember who they were.
"Who am I?" Just as Li Muge was having a headache, some memories of Wuchen suddenly flashed through her mind.
In the boundless grassland.
Wuchen, dressed in a refined and elegant manner, arrived leading his horse.
Under the starry night sky.
She became the unforgettable white moonlight in Li Muge's heart.
"Who is he?" Li Muge pressed her head, not understanding what kind of person she was before she lost her memory. Wasn't that person named Wuchen a bad person?
Why do I feel like I used to know him so well?
And it seems to be more than just familiar.
Li Muge seemed to be out of control, entering that memory. When she saw Wuchen arrive, her body uncontrollably lunged at him.
"Wuchen, you're the best. You know I like the fiercest Pegasus."
“Unlike my father and mother, who always made me act like a proper young lady when there were no demon attacks, so that I would be worthy of you.”
Wuchen stroked Li Muge's head, his gaze filled with affection.
"Mu Ge, there's no need for that. You just need to be yourself."
"You're lying, Emperor Wuchen. My mother said that all these men prefer gentle and dignified ladies from respectable families. Someone like me who likes to fight with swords and spears would be a disgrace to you if I married you."
"Mu Ge." Wu Chen grabbed Li Mu Ge's hand and pulled her into his arms. "Mu Ge, whatever you are, that's the kind of person I like."
The whispers, like those between lovers, completely stunned Li Muge.
She didn't understand where she was.
Why are they hugging each other?
She pushed Wuchen away forcefully: "That's not how it is. I've never met you before!"
"Where exactly is this?"
Wuchen had not expected that Li Muge could break free from his illusionary zither formation.
"Mu Ge, you've forgotten our promise. You were supposed to marry me."
"But now you've forgotten me and fallen in love with someone else." Wuchen's eyes and words seemed to be condemning Li Muge's heartlessness.
"No, no." Li Muge pressed her head and kept running, trying to escape from this place.
