Chapter 5084: The Earth Trembles Editor: Misty Cloud Translations As she spoke, under Leng Hua’s stunned gaze, she swept her hand and erased the soul contract from the Primordial Treasure Umbrella. At the very moment she erased the soul contract from the Primordial Treasure Umbrella, somewhere within the celestial realms, a figure suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. With a grim, murderous glint in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and growled, "Feng Jiu!" Upon the sea surface, Leng Hua stared at the Primordial Treasure Umbrella in his hand. It no longer seemed intent on flying away amidst the tremors but had settled steadily in his grasp. Startled, he snapped back to his senses and exclaimed, "Leng Hua thanks Master!" He swiftly dripped blood to claim the artifact as his own. After that, he felt a new layer of affinity and familiarity with the Primordial Treasure Umbrella. Only then did Feng Jiu turn to the others, speaking to them deliberately, one word at a time: "I, Feng Jiu, have returned!" Gazing upon their master, radiant as the sun against the wind, the group’s hearts swelled with joy. Genuine smiles blossomed on each face. The alliance of rulers had waged a fierce, brutal battle against them, but for their master, one alone had been sufficient! "Master, when we received Leng Shuang’s message and rushed back, the Pill Tower was already under siege," Du Fan hurriedly explained. Feng Jiu nodded upon hearing this. "I know." Her voice barely faded as her gaze swept toward the sea. She released her divine sense, probing downward. Seeing the defensive barrier she had cast beneath the waves still intact, she knew the fierce battle hadn’t disturbed Mo Ze’s soul. She then addressed the others: "Tend to your wounds and rest first. I’ll go check on the Pill Tower." With that, she swept her sleeve, conjuring a teleportation vortex before her. Meanwhile, at the Pill Tower, Qi Kang and Gray Wolf, left to defend the tower, were fighting together against the enemy. However, besides the monarch, the enemy forces were numerous—a dense, dark mass so overwhelming that no one dared approach within a hundred li. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶 The fierce battle between the Pill Tower defenders and these monarchs left many stunned and horrified. Even though Feng Jiu had ascended years ago, her lingering influence remained. Her formidable subordinates were still present—each a capable warrior in their own right. How could anyone dare attack them? And with such overwhelming force that the entire Pill Tower had been destroyed? The entire city was shrouded in the monarchs’ oppressive aura, forcibly isolating the surroundings. The cultivators from the city’s noble families were already struggling to survive and were utterly powerless to aid the Pill Tower. Qi Kang, Gray Wolf, and the others, fighting tooth and nail, were warriors capable of taking on a hundred foes alone. Yet even they could not withstand this relentless wave after wave of attacks. "If I survive today, I’ll slaughter every last one of them!" Gray Wolf growled, parrying an incoming strike with his sword. "Watch out!" Qi Kang, locked in combat with two Monarchs nearby, bellowed the warning. Yet he couldn’t spare a hand to aid Gray Wolf, forced to watch helplessly as a blade pierced the warrior’s abdomen from behind. "Hmph!" " Gray Wolf grunted, whirling to strike the cultivator. His fierce blow cleaved the man clean in two, though the sword remained lodged in Gray Wolf’s abdomen. "There are too many of them! Our men are dying in droves. If this continues, we’ll all perish here!" Shadow One declared. His words had barely left his mouth when the earth suddenly shook violently, as if something massive were charging toward them.
