Goddess Emperor Phoenix: Rebirth Against Heaven

Above the floating city, the Milky Way seems to be flowing slowly and calmly.

The diamond-like palace sparkled in the sunlight, like a treasure on earth. The palace door was closed, and a murderous aura could be felt faintly.

Suddenly, a white light flashed, and a figure descended as fast as the wind. The person was dressed in white, with a beautiful face, picturesque eyebrows, skin as white as snow, and a graceful figure. It was the peerless goddess - Di Huang.

There was a hint of anger between her brows and her expression was solemn. She quickly pushed open the door of the hall and walked in.

In the hall, dozens of guards in silver armor were being manipulated by a tall, tough-looking man. The man's moves were smooth and flowing, and each move was full of killing intent, leaving the guards powerless to fight back, and they fell to the ground one after another.

Emperor Huang narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Wait! Who dares to break into my palace and hurt my guards?"

The man turned around upon hearing the voice, staring at Emperor Huang with his deep eyes, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect it to be you, Emperor Huang."

Emperor Huang was slightly stunned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man said calmly: "My name is Zhan Zun, and I'm here to see you."

Emperor Huang frowned slightly, "Looking for me? Why?"

Zhan Zun snorted coldly, "Do you know that there is a traitor under your command who has been secretly leaking secrets of the court and endangering our Great Xia Kingdom?"

A flash of shock flashed across Emperor Huang's eyes, and then he became firm: "There has never been a traitor among my people. What you said must be slander."

Zhan Zun sneered, "Humph, then let me help you eliminate this traitor!" After saying that, he approached Emperor Huang step by step.

Emperor Huang's eyes darkened, and he waved his hand. Suddenly, countless white lights flashed, and dozens of guards with high martial arts skills surrounded Zhan Zun in an instant.

"How dare you act wildly in my palace! Come, capture this man and torture him to get the truth!" Emperor Huang shouted coldly.

The guards drew their swords one after another, the swords flashing, and they were unstoppable.

Zhan Zun raised his mouth, his eyes flashed, and his body shook. With his amazing speed and strength, he easily resolved the guards' attacks. He hit a guard's chest with his palm, and the guard immediately bleed and fell heavily to the ground. Then he turned around and actually repelled several guards in a row without any effort.

Emperor Huang frowned, and became more alert. She took a deep breath, flipped her palms, and suddenly a white light covered the sky, turning into countless white silk threads as soft as silk, attacking Zhan Zun like a sharp sword.

Zhan Zun's eyes turned cold, and his body shook violently, avoiding the attack in an instant, and then he punched Di Huang. Di Huang's eyes were stern, and he raised his right hand, and a jade sword came out, colliding fiercely with Zhan Zun's fist, making a deafening sound.

The two men refused to give in, and their swords and fists intertwined, each move was fierce. The hall suddenly exploded, and there were flying gravel and broken furniture everywhere. Seeing this, the guards hurriedly retreated, fearing that they would be implicated.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall, and then a figure flashed in as bright as day.

"Empress, what happened?" the man asked anxiously.

The person was none other than Mo Hanchan, Di Huang's personal maid, her beautiful eyes filled with anxiety and worry.

Emperor Huang glanced at her and said coldly: "It doesn't matter, you can leave."

Mo Hanchan nodded hurriedly, but seeing that the battle was fierce, she hesitated for a moment and still did not leave.

At this moment, Zhan Zun turned over with the help of the force, exerted force on his feet, and fiercely kicked towards Di Huang. Di Huang saw that the situation was not good, and quickly raised his sword to block.

"Be careful!" Mo Hanchan exclaimed suddenly.

Zhan Zun kicked Emperor Huang's sword hard, causing him to stagger and the sword flew out of his hand.

Zhan Zun saw the opportunity and rushed towards Di Huang, chopping down at her with his palm like a mace.

Seeing that she couldn't dodge, Di Huang's heart sank. At this moment, a white shadow quickly rushed over and blocked her way.

"Ah——" Mo Hanchan screamed in pain, her eyes wide open, her face full of pain, and a wound deep enough to see the bone appeared on her chest.

Di Huang stared blankly at the scene in front of him, with an indescribable pain and anger welling up in his heart.

"You--" She stared at Zhan Zun, her eyes as cold as ice.

Zhan Zun's eyes flashed, his face showed shock, and he quickly retreated. At this moment, the Emperor Phoenix's aura suddenly surged, and a layer of dazzling white light enveloped her body, like a god descending. She stretched out her hand and pointed, and suddenly a blazing beam of light shot out from her fingertips, heading straight for Zhan Zun.

Zhan Zun saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly used all his strength to barely avoid the beam of light. But just as he landed, Emperor Huang had already arrived in front of him, waving the long sword in his hand like a white rainbow.

Zhan Zun quickly raised his hand to block, but there was a loud bang and his whole body flew into the air, hitting the wall of the palace heavily with a dull thud.

Emperor Huang walked to Zhan Zun with an expressionless face, stepped on his chest, and said coldly: "Do you know your guilt?"

Zhan Zun coughed violently a few times, raised his head and looked at Di Huang with difficulty, with a trace of unwillingness on his face, "Humph, I just want to get rid of the harm for Da Xia."

Emperor Huang's eyes turned cold, "Eliminate harm? How dare you hurt my people? Is this what you call eliminating harm?"

Zhan Zun sneered, "Do you really know nothing about that traitor? He has been hiding his evil deeds in the court for many years, and you are completely unaware of it and are still protecting him."

Emperor Huang frowned, obviously confused and angry about Zhan Zun's words.

At this moment, a weak voice sounded, "Empress, what he said is right. Someone has indeed been secretly leaking the secrets of the court."

Di Huang was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw that although Mo Hanchan was covered with wounds, she was still struggling to sit up, her beautiful eyes were full of grief and guilt.

"It's me. I have been serving Da Xia, but because of my weakness, I was bribed by that spy. I am really sorry for causing such great harm to you and the country." As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Di Huang stared at Mo Hanchan blankly, with mixed feelings in her heart. She was silent for a long time, and finally said: "If that's the case, then why do you want to protect me?"

Mo Hanchan smiled bitterly, "Because I have fallen deeply in love with you. You are the only love of my life. Although I am a betrayer, I still can't bear to see you get hurt. So, I will stand in front of you at the last moment."

Di Huang's eyes dimmed, and after a while, she slowly said, "I understand. In this case, you don't have to suffer any more." As she spoke, she raised the sword in her hand and stabbed towards Mo Hanchan.

"No——" Mo Hanchan opened her eyes wide in fear, but was powerless to stop it. She saw the long sword coming like a meteor and piercing straight into her heart.

"Ah——" Mo Hanchan let out a shrill scream, and then her body gradually lost consciousness and slowly fell down.

Zhan Zun looked at the scene in front of him with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but sigh, "He really sacrificed himself for others."

Emperor Huang looked at Mo Hanchan coldly, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, "I have never thought of killing you with my own hands. However, for the sake of the country and the people, there are some things that must be done even if it is unbearable."

After saying that, she turned to look at Zhan Zun and said coldly, "Since you also know about this, then come with me to wipe out that traitor!"

Zhan Zun was slightly stunned, then a sneer appeared on his lips, "Humph, if that's the case, then let's get rid of this scourge for Daxia together!"

Emperor Huang nodded, turned around and left. The hall suddenly became silent, with only Mo Hanchan's slight breathing echoing in the empty hall.

At this moment, a breeze suddenly blew, bringing a faint fragrance. Mo Hanchan opened his eyes slightly, and saw a figure slowly approaching. The man was dressed in white, with a jade-like face and a layer of holy light all over his body. It was Emperor Huang.

"Empress..." Mo Hanchan called weakly.

Emperor Huang nodded slightly, squatted down, reached out and touched Mo Hanchan's cheek, his eyes full of sadness, "Hanchan, why did you do this?"

Mo Hanchan smiled weakly, "Because I really love you, you are my true love. I know I am a sinner, but I can't bear to see you get hurt. So, I will stand in front of you."

Emperor Huang frowned for a long time, then she slowly spoke, "I understand your intentions, but do you know how much harm your actions have brought to the country and the people?"

Mo Hanchan lowered his head, "I know, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been bribed by that spy, but I was still weak enough to betray you and the country. My crime is unforgivable..."

Emperor Huang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, "If that's the case, then let me atone for your sins."

After saying that, she held Mo Hanchan's face in her hands, slowly lowered her head, and gently kissed her lips.

Mo Hanchan stared at the scene in disbelief with her eyes wide open. The Emperor Phoenix's breath was like a warm current, slowly flowing into her body. Suddenly, she felt a warm current all over her body, and her wounds were gradually healing.

After a long time, Emperor Huang finally left her lips, his eyes full of sadness, "Han Chan, you and I are destined to be impossible. However, I still hope that you can live well and serve the country."

Mo Hanchan couldn't help but shed tears. She stretched out her hand tremblingly and grabbed Di Huang's sleeve. "My Queen, I am so sorry. But I love you so much. I would rather die like this than betray you again."

Emperor Huang shook his head gently, "No, you have to live well. I will send someone to look after you and make sure you are safe. You have to live well and serve Daxia. This is what you should do."

After saying that, she helped Mo Hanchan stand up, gave him a few more instructions, and then turned and left.

Mo Hanchan stared blankly at Di Huang's back, tears streaming down her face. She knew that from now on, there would be no possibility for her and Di Huang to be together. However, she would still love her and serve her as always, until the last moment of her life.

In this way, Emperor Huang embarked on the journey of eradicating the traitors, and Mo Hanchan, under the protection of Emperor Huang, devoted himself to serving the country again.

Although the two are destined not to be together, they will always leave each other's mark in their hearts.
