Chapter 5093: Underground Chamber Editor: Misty Cloud Translations Feng Jiu glanced at them, her icy voice carrying through the night breeze: "Where is the Firmament Monarch?" "The... Monarch hasn’t returned," one of them stammered, his face turning deathly pale at her sight. "Is that so?" Her tone remained detached, yet in the next instant, a long sword glowing with a bluish light appeared in her hand. Its sharp tip pointed diagonally toward the ground, releasing a fierce, chilling sword qi from its blade—a presence so fierce and terrifying it sent shivers down the spines of those present. That murderous intent was palpable even to the cultivators a hundred meters away. The moment they saw her draw the sword, their eyes narrowed. Some turned and fled, while others immediately knelt, crying out, "Ghost Doctor, spare our lives! I... I know there’s a secret chamber in the Monarch’s palace! Perhaps he’s hiding there! I can lead you to it!" Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! As the cultivators turned to flee, the fierce sword qi surged forth. Several cold gleams, carrying terrifying killing intent, shot straight toward them. A few agonized screams pierced the night air, followed by the sound of bodies collapsing. Among the fleeing cultivators, only the one who had knelt trembling remained alive. A crimson robe swept through the night, appearing before the surviving cultivator in an instant. "Lead the way." Feng Jiu’s icy voice cut through the darkness with piercing clarity, her aura of lethal intent sending shivers down the spine. "Yes, yes." The cultivator wiped cold sweat from his brow, trembling as he rose to lead her toward the palace below. However, the deaths of those cultivators and the sound of their bodies hitting the ground below alerted the night patrol guards. Instantly, chaotic footsteps echoed from below, accompanied by a sharp shout. "Who dares trespass into the Firmament Palace at night!" Both the night patrol guards and the shadow guards lurking in the darkness surged forth simultaneously, swiftly encircling the two. Though these guards and shadow guards had never seen Feng Jiu before, they recognized the trembling cultivator beside her. Just as they were about to demand answers, a wave of murderous intent spread out, and cold gleams flashed through the night. She didn’t crush them with overwhelming pressure; she killed them outright. For the rage boiling within her now could only be quelled by bloodshed! The cultivator beside her watched the scene, his lips quivering. The encircling guards and shadow guards numbered at least a hundred. Yet in the blink of an eye—before he could even discern how she had appeared—they fell one after another. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎 Blood splattered the ground, severed limbs scattered everywhere. The bloody scene sent a chill through his heart, despite his experience with such sights. "Let’s go." The cold, clear voice rang unexpectedly in his ear, startling him. He jolted upright and hurriedly led the way. Entering the main palace, guided by the cultivator, they reached the door to the secret chamber. As the cultivator opened it, an icy chill seeped out from within. Feng Jiu glanced around. This place was layered with countless barriers and formations; without this person leading the way, it would have been nearly impossible to find in such a short time. She glanced at the cultivator and asked, "What is your role here? How did you know of this chamber’s existence?" Logically, such a place should be unknown to anyone but its master. "I... I once secretly entered this palace and saw the ruler enter this chamber. That’s how I... how I know."
