Chapter 5099: Everyone’s Here Editor: Misty Cloud Translations After catching her breath, she walked over to the table and sat down. Looking at Mo Ze on the bed, she said, "The divine soul of the Firmament Monarch is hidden within Mo Ze’s sea of consciousness." "What?!" Shadow One gasped, her entire expression changing. Du Fan, however, had long suspected as much. Hearing her words, his heart sank slightly. He asked, "Master, is there a way to extract and destroy it?" Feng Jiu shook her head and replied slowly, "When I checked his pulse earlier, I found nothing unusual. The Firmament Monarch must have concealed himself. The commotion now stems from his attempt to devour Mo Ze’s soul and possess his body. However, he underestimated Mo Ze’s strength. His devouring failed, and now he’s bound by the Green Dragon’s energy." Her voice paused as she gazed at Mo Ze on the bed. "The Firmament Monarch hides within his sea of consciousness. No one can aid him now. Only he himself can destroy that Firmament Monarch." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 "But this black lotus..." Qi Kang’s brows furrowed slightly, worry evident. Feng Jiu sighed softly. "That is precisely my concern. If Mo Ze’s soul devours the Firmament Monarch’s soul, this Black Lotus will likely become imprinted upon his own soul. Yet if he does not consume the Firmament Monarch’s soul, he risks being possessed and taken over—a fate that leads to certain death." "Is there truly no other way?" Bai Xiao couldn’t help but ask. Feng Jiu shook her head. "We’ll see. For now, let’s wait until he gets through this ordeal." Her gaze fell upon Mo Ze on the bed as she instructed Qi Kang and the others beside her, "I’ll keep watch here. You may go about your business. It won’t be decided in the next hour or so." "Understood." They responded in unison, exiting the room. Qi Kang and the others departed first, while Du Fan and Shadow One remained behind to guard the courtyard. Aware of the situation here, Guan Xilin, Luo Yu, and the others arrived the next day after concluding their affairs in the East Sea Spirit Domain. Along with them, the injured Ye Feifei and Qin Xin were also transferred to this location. Both were severely injured. Despite Fan Lin’s treatment and medicinal pills, they hadn’t recovered yet. Since everyone had gathered here, they were brought along for easier care. Guan Xilin strode in and saw Du Fan and Shadow One in the courtyard. "Why are you two guarding here? How is Mo Ze? Has he woken up?" "Not yet. The Master is keeping vigil inside. We can’t help by going in, so we’re waiting outside. If the Master has any instructions, we can respond immediately." Du Fan spoke, glancing at the others who had followed him in. "Has everyone arrived?" "Everyone’s here. With matters in the East Sea settled, we thought it best to gather here since the Master is present. That way, if anything arises, we can discuss it together." Luo Yu said, looking at them and asking, "I heard from Qi Kang that the divine soul of the Firmament Monarch is hidden within Hell’s Lord’s sea of consciousness. What’s the current situation? Any results?" "None." Shadow One said, gazing at the tightly closed door, his heart filled with worry. "That old bastard’s got some nerve, trying to possess our master’s body. He’s so powerful, even if nothing comes of it now, he’ll definitely end up dead!" Gray Wolf spat out the words with venom, striding over to sit at the table in the courtyard. He kept glancing toward the room and asked, "How long has My lady been in there? Should we let her rest? We can take turns guarding."
