Unlike before, after the blinding flash of light, Mo Xie managed to stay awake.
But for the others, those at Immortal Ascension rank and below collapsed, Mo Xie waved his hand: "Monarchs, cover and pick them up, we don't want to be separated with them as we get out of here."
They are currently being brought out by the portal itself, those that lost consciousness were slower than those that are awake, hence, being wrapped by the Monarch's power caused to be able to proceed as they are, and losing consciousness within the portal is too much of mental pressure.
Like they were when they entered the caverns, losing consciousness might make a person be placed in a state of coma, unable to wake up even when they are dying.
