Chapter 5091: Something’s Wrong

As she spoke, her divine sense probed downward, searching for Mo Ze’s location. Yet, the moment she probed, her heart sank.

Seeing her face turn extremely grim, Du Fan and the others exchanged glances and asked, “Master, how is Hell’s Lord?”

“Gone.”

Feng Jiu’s voice was slightly deepened, coldness evident in her eyes. “A trace of Black Lotus aura lingers in the depths of the sea. It was the Firmament Monarch who took action.”

She hadn’t expected that a mere sovereign could break through her barrier, especially while she was en route to the Heavenly Pill Tower. The lingering aura of the Black Lotus in the sea was accompanied by a distinct scent of blood, which deeply unsettled her, stirring an urge to unleash a bloody rampage.

She drew in a breath and soared into the air, her murderous intent pouring forth in that instant. A crimson figure streaked out like a flash of light, vanishing instantly into the clouds.

Her speed was too swift—so swift that Du Fan and the others had no chance to follow. Watching her depart, Du Fan remarked, “Our Master must be going after that Firmament Monarch.”

“Should we follow and assist?” Gray Wolf inquired.

Luo Yu shook his head. “Our Master moves too swiftly for us to catch up. Moreover, her power is formidable—our presence would be of no help. With so many Sovereigns slain, chaos is inevitable. Our duty now is to quell the uprisings across the realms, ensuring our Master faces no distractions.”

Hearing this, Gray Wolf glanced at him. “That’s exactly what My Lady told Qi Kang earlier.” His voice trailed off as he gazed toward the horizon, his voice tinged with worry. “But now that our Master is gone, could something have happened?”

“I don’t believe Hell’s Lord will come to harm. Even if he hasn’t regained consciousness yet, the Firmament Monarch intends to threaten Master. Hell’s Lord will certainly not allow anything to happen to Hell’s Lord. Otherwise, if Hell’s Lord truly met with misfortune, the Firmament Monarch wouldn’t survive either.” Du Fan spoke slowly, his gaze fixed on the sea surface where the air currents were gradually dissipating. “Although he is no longer beneath us, I believe it is necessary to go down and investigate.”

“I’ll go with you,” Leng Hua declared.

Du Fan looked at him and nodded. “Alright.” With that, both plunged into the sea.

“Let’s return and make arrangements,” Luo Yu said, turning toward the airship.

The towering waves had receded at some point, and the churning sea gradually calmed. Yet, a heavy weight settled in everyone’s hearts—for Hell’s Lord was gone.

Inside the airship, Fan Lin was assisting Qin Xin and Ye Feifei with their treatment. Stepping out of the cabin, he saw them return and asked, “How did it go?”

The others shook their heads and briefly recounted the situation.

Hearing their words, Fan Lin and the others couldn’t help but frown. “This is troublesome.”

“My lady has already gone after her. She’ll be fine,” Gray Wolf stated, though it was unclear whether he was reassuring them or himself.

After a long while, Du Fan and Leng Hua returned from the ocean depths, landing back in the airship. Both pressed their lips tightly together, their expressions grim.

“How did it go? Did you find anything?” Guan Xilin asked urgently.

Du Fan and Leng Hua exchanged a glance before Leng Hua replied, “We found some extremely small fragments of bodies on the seabed. Our master said it was triggered by her self-destruction spell breaking her barrier, but under those circumstances, we feel something isn’t quite right.”

“It’s impossible for someone to have taken Hell’s Lord away while the self-destruction spell was active. And that air current was so powerful, so…” Du Fan paused, his expression grave.
