Chapter 5089: Not Good

She looked at Gray Wolf and said, "Once your wounds heal, you should leave! The outside is still in chaos, and I don’t have time to waste here. As for your questions, I’ll answer them once things settle down." As she spoke, she already began walking toward the exit.

The door opened. Qi Kang and several others were outside helping bandage the wounds of some Phoenix Guards. Seeing her emerge, they stepped forward. "Master."

"How are the injuries?" she inquired, her gaze sweeping over the Phoenix Guards.

"None are fatal, but they’re serious. Besides the wounded, we lost Seventeen brothers," Qi Kang reported, his expression grave. These Phoenix Guards were trained by their own hands, and this time, Seventeen had fallen.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu fell silent for a moment before saying, "Give them a proper burial." Most of the Phoenix Guards were orphans raised from childhood. They had no family to speak of, and the Feng family was their home. She was their Master, and she was their family.

"Yes, Your Highness. Understood."

Qi Kang added, "Master, what of the Eastern Sea Spirit Realm? Should we send reinforcements? With so many rulers slain, chaos will surely erupt across the celestial realms. And that figure behind the scenes—he orchestrated this entire affair."

Before coming here, I searched the soul of the Nancheng Monarch and learned the basics of their affairs," Feng Jiu said, her gaze drifting toward the distant sky. "This person behind the scenes is revered as the Firmament Monarch. Several years ago, he somehow obtained the Black Lotus, which had been lost to the world. Moreover, this Firmament Monarch is a descendant of an emperor from the Upper Immortal Realm."

Her voice paused slightly as she continued, "Beyond targeting you, their primary objective was to use Mo Ze against me. They never anticipated my return at this moment."

Hearing this, the group felt a wave of dread wash over them. Had their Master not returned just then, they might truly have been unable to protect Hell’s Lord within the Eastern Sea Spirit Realm.

"The Heavenly Pill Tower has been destroyed. There’s no need to rebuild it. For now, there are other matters requiring your attention," Feng Jiu stated, her gaze fixed upon them.

"Master, please give your orders."

"My lady, please instruct us."

They spoke in unison, their gazes fixed upon her. With her here now, whatever task she assigned them, their hearts were filled with unwavering confidence.

"Secure the Heavenly Realm territories. With so many sovereigns now fallen by my hand, chaos is inevitable. You..." She spoke, but suddenly, as if sensing something, her expression abruptly changed.

"Not good!"

With a flick of her sleeve, a teleportation vortex appeared before her. A crimson figure swiftly darted inside.

Qi Kang and the others nearby froze in surprise. As they snapped back to reality, seeing the vortex about to close, Qi Kang bellowed, "Gray Wolf, follow her!"

Almost the instant his voice fell, Gray Wolf’s figure darted forward, leaping into the vortex. Simultaneously, the vortex vanished.

"Could something have happened in the Eastern Sea Spirit Realm? Master looked so alarmed—this must be connected to Hell’s Lord." Many murmured beside him, his expression grave and filled with concern.

Shadow One pressed his lips together, saying nothing. He knew Xu Duo’s conjecture was likely spot on.

"Hell’s Lord has his own master to handle. We must focus on resolving matters here and fulfilling the tasks our Master assigned us," Qi Kang said in a solemn tone. After glancing at them, he led the way out.
