Morine found himself at a loss when it came to dealing with the poison coursing through Zeba’s body and the formidable barrier in her Soul Palace. The situation served as a stark reminder of the vast divide that still separated him from Morgana’s level of power.

The recent sacrifice made by Gideon only deepened Morine’s concerns. Despite managing to escape with Maria’s ring, he knew that if Morgana dispatched three Soul Palace Masters to Aurous Hill, his survival would hang by a thread. Even with Maria’s ring, it might spell certain doom for him.

Morgana had opened her Soul Palace over a century ago, boasting an unfathomable level of cultivation that surpassed Morine’s by at least a hundred, if not two or three hundred, years. If she were to come in person, his chances of survival would plummet even further.

Morine couldn’t help but reflect on how fortunate it was that he had stumbled upon Mrs. Treadway and the troubled mother and son in Mexico. If not for that serendipitous encounter, he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to acquire the portrait of Old Lord Morvel.

Without that portrait in his possession, his hopes of executing the Empty City strategy would remain a futile dream. Powerless against the impending arrival of the three elders, he’d be unable to stop their advance.

Grateful for the opportunity provided by Mrs. Treadway, Morine silently vowed that, should he successfully deceive Morgana this time, he would express his gratitude by giving her another Life Saving Pill.

After his resolve, Morine turned his attention to Zeba and apologized, “I’m truly sorry, Miss Salazar. While I can mend your wounds and gradually restore your cultivation, the poison in your body and the formation in your Soul Palace present challenges that I can’t overcome at the moment. However, there’s no need for excessive worry. I will exhaust all avenues in search of a solution.”

Although Zeba knew that Morine’s words were meant to console her, she didn’t feel disappointed. After all, her initial intention after the explosion was to distance herself from the British Lord and live out her remaining days. Considering the significant progress her body had made in recovery and Morine’s promise to aid her in the restoration of her cultivation, her expectations had already been surpassed. She couldn’t dare hope for a complete detoxification and the resolution of the formation.

Expressing her gratitude to Bjorne, Zeba replied, “Mr. Wade, you need not apologize to me. I’m already thankful for your assistance in healing my wounds. As for detoxification and the formation, I dare not hope to survive the next two years. I’m already content beyond measure!”

Observing her, Morine responded seriously, “Even if it seems impossible, two years from now, I will have a solution. While it may not fully break the formation within you, I am at least 80% confident that it can detoxify your body.”

Zeba’s eyes flickered with excitement upon hearing this.

However, Morine swiftly changed the subject, adopting a grave tone as he said, “Yet, Zeba, this method, even with an 80% success rate, might bring you tremendous pain. Should it fail, the suffering might be unbearable. Are you willing to take such a risk for the sake of an innocent calamity?”
