Listening to their words, the group frowned and said, "If one person triggered a self-detonation to break through the barrier, there must have been another person present to carry away Hell’s Lord. But from the mont the commotion occurred until we ca out to investigate, it was only a split second—we didn’t see anyone leaving the sea surface at all."
"I suspect they departed directly from the ocean floor. Moreover, under those circumstances, even a sovereign-level power couldn’t safely carry Hell’s Lord away while another sovereign triggered a self-detonation," Du Fan stated, turning to them. "I must travel to the celestial realm governed by the Firmant Monarch."
He needed to verify certain matters. If things unfolded as he suspected, then... trouble would be inevitable.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yu and the others replied, "Very well. Since only you are going, see if there’s anything we can assist with. Should you find any trace of Hell’s Lord, rember to inform us."
"Mhm." Du Fan acknowledged, then gathered his qi and soared skyward.
Leng Hua remained silent, deep in thought beside him, lost in her own musings.
Having previously searched the soul of the Nancheng Monarch, she knew precisely where the Firmant Monarch’s domain lay. As dusk fell, she arrived at this region.
Her silent approach went unnoticed. She headed straight for the Firmant Monarch’s palace, discreetly probing its surroundings.
Along the way, she pondered: How had the Firmant Monarch compelled a sovereign to detonate themselves to breach her barrier? And how had he survived the explosive shockwave’s devastation to carry away Mo Ze?
Could it be that the Firmant Monarch possessed so life-saving artifact? What else could explain it all?
The heavily guarded palace was patrolled by sentries everywhere, yet navigating through them proved effortless for her. With their limited strength and cultivation, detecting her was utterly impossible.
Without alerting anyone, she thoroughly scouted the palace, yet found no trace of the Firmant Monarch.
Not here? Had he fled to hide elsewhere? Was that even possible?
The vast expanse outside could never match the security of this familiar palace. Moreover, she was certain so subterranean chamber or secret passage must exist within these walls. Perhaps the Firmant Monarch had hidden himself and Mo Ze sowhere deep within the palace.
After searching in vain, she drew a deep breath, suppressing her irritation and murderous intent. Calming her mind, she unleashed her divine sense to scan the entire palace.
The mont her divine sense began its search, several cultivators within the palace who possessed considerable strength and cultivation instantly detected it.
"Who goes there!"
A commanding shout echoed from various corners of the palace. Simultaneously, figures darted out from all directions, hovering mid-air. Their piercing gazes, radiating an intimidating aura, scanned the palace for the unwelco intruder daring to probe with divine sense.
When their gazes swept through the darkness and landed upon the crimson figure that remained distinctly visible even in the night, so eyes narrowed involuntarily, filled with shock and disbelief.
"Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu!"
They were here, yet had received no word of Feng Jiu’s return. Thus, seeing soone who should not have been here at this mont left them utterly stunned and bewildered.
