No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

Chapter 2311

Samson said with a look of fear, “Then what do we do? We can’t just stand there and wait for death! We can’t just

let them kill us, we have to work together!

“We need to get all the disciples from the northern clans to work together to fight against them! Fiends or treasures

are not important at all, our lives are the most important!”

Samson was right, with how the situation was, all those treasures were no longer that attractive to them. Their lives

were the most important thing, and ensuring their clans were able to profit as well.

With the Corpse Pavilion crazily attempting to slaughter everyone, if they did not react immediately, all of them

would be placed in a lot of danger. They would be at an absolute disadvantage with no way of turning the tables

around.

Jackie turned to look at the three of them, “Do you three have any way to notify the other disciples from your

clans?”

Hayden nodded, “I have an idea! I have a sound transfer array with Graham!”

As he said that, he retrieved a sealing array that was about the size of a palm out of his storage ring. Jackie knew

what that was.

Arrays like that were incredibly expensive, regular folk would not be able to afford them at all. However, it had its

uses at crucial times.

As long as spirit crystals were placed outside of the formation, they could transmit sound through space. They could

no longer even afford to think about the cost at that point, and Hayden retrieved a few more spirit crystals, placing

them there.

Various seals started to appear, and in two breaths, Hayden said into the array, “Graham! Something bad’s

happened! We’re now at…”

Hayden suddenly paused at that. He did not know how he could convey the position he was to Graham. After all,

they were not familiar with the area.

Jackie frowned before saying, “We’ve advanced about thirty kilometers. With Netherworld Mountain as the

landmark, we’re to the west. You can light a signal when you’re here.”

That was the only way they could describe their position. After the voice was sent over, Graham’s voice was sent

back after about five breaths time, “I understand, I’ll head there immediately!”

After that, Hayden was a bit more relaxed. He slumped on the floor in exhaustion. As a warrior, he was actually not

afraid of death.

He’d seen his fellow disciples being killed by man or beast alike. However, this was different from before, this was

manslaughter!

None of them would have survived! Thinking about that, Hayden suddenly felt like someone had their hands around

his throat, that he could die at any Moment.

Just as they were feeling incredibly nervous, Jackie suddenly raised his head, looking over a withered tree before he

suddenly reacted. The three of them were shocked and immediately ran behind Jackie.

Samson trembled as he said, “Jackie, did you see something? Is there any danger?”

Jackie frowned, “I can feel…something on the branch of that tree!”

Jackie walked forward toward the tree. Jackie’s movement had been too quick. The three of them were still

incredibly anxious. Even though they were reluctant, they still followed behind.

Chapter 2312

It was a withered tree with no signs of life left in it. It was about the height of two humans. The tree was so withered

that, just by touching the trunk, layers of dried bark would fall off.

Jackie ignored the people behind him. He slowly knelt down, staring right at the tree’s roots. The three of them

looked toward where Jackie did and did not notice anything strange.

The roots seemed to be just like any other part of the tree. It was unknown how long it had died. The white skin

spoke of the ages past. With Jackie not having said anything yet, the other three did not dare to Make any careless

moves.

The three of them merely stared at where Jackie was looking. However, no matter how they looked, they could not

find anything strange about it. After kneeling down for a long time, Jackie slowly stood up.

His eyes had an unusual look to them, “What’s the point of doing all this? Is there anything special in this place?”

After saying that, he looked up to look at his surroundings. It was still the same endless, blood colored world. There

did not seem to be anything special there, nothing that would attract Jackie’s attention.

Isaiah frowned and asked, “What’s the point in what? Jackie, what did you find?”

Jackie furrowed his eyebrows, saying in a plain tone,” Evil Blood Thunder, I felt a sliver of it on the roots of this tree.

It’s the same electricity I felt on Riv’s body.

Jackie had carefully investigated Riv’s corpse, especially the electricity around his chest. Without that as a

reference, Jackie would not have so accurately noticed the odd circumstance.

The masked man had merely left a sliver of electricity around that tree, probably only as a mark. That was why

Jackie expanded his attention, trying to see if there was anything special around them.

However, after looking for a long time, he did not notice anything. It was possible that it really was just a mark. With

Jackie’s words, the three of them sent out their senses at the roots of the tree, and sure enough, they noticed the

remnants of Evil Blood Thunder.

Hayden’s expression was incredibly dark, “What is it that this piece of trash wants?! He definitely has a goal in

mind!”

With their fellow disciples dying in such a cruel manner, Hayden and others were naturally incredibly upset. On top

of them, the group of madmen could very possibly attack them as well, causing the group to harbor even more

hatred.

They did not have the confidence to beat the masked man. Even though Jackie was there, their opponents were

working together. With only the four of them, they would definitely not end up in a good state.

Samson paced around nervously. His skills were the weakest, and he was the one most worried about his own

future.

“What do we do? I feel like that group isn’t just crazy, they are madmen with a plan in their heads. Facing them, we

have to be incredibly careful. Otherwise, if we meet them, we’re gone!”

Finishing that statement, Samson’s face was incredibly terrified. His lips trembled slightly as he looked at Jackie with

anticipation. Jackie knew what Samson was worried about.

There was nothing much Jackie could do at that moment either. “Just take it easy for now. We already know that

this group will definitely attack if they meet us.

“Then, we just have to retreat immediately the moment we spot traces of them. If we’re far enough from them,

they definitely won’t be a threat to us.”

Jackie’s words were mostly to comfort Samson’s anxiety, but Samson still looked incredibly panicked.

Chapter 2313

“Then we can never switch off our senses. As long as he notices anything wrong, we should flee immediately, don’t

even think about anything else!”

Death was terrifying. It was something all of them did not want, nor were willing to face. Their group was not that

prominent among the masters gathered in the Hidden Place for Resources, but back within their own clans, they

were among the elites.

They were either internal or chosen disciples within their clans. Normal informal disciples or runners, and most of

the other internal disciples would never dare to look down on them.

They were always greeted respectfully, and they had their own bright futures to look forward to. Hence, none of

them were willing to lose their lives in a place like this.

Isaiah’s whole body was trembling slightly because he was constantly being flooded with the pale face of Riv in his

head.

Just half a day ago, Riv had been joking around with the rest of them. He never expected that the next time they

met, that carefree and playful top internal disciple would end up as a corpse.

He had died so quickly, in just one hit. He did not even have the chance to fight back. It had been far too cruel.

Isaiah took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. However, his heart was still beating erratically. After a

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

moment, he told Jackie, “Jackie, there’s definitely a reason he left a mark behind here. There might be something

special around here that we haven’t noticed

“It’s because our investigation is just on the surface. Why don’t we investigate in detail so we can try and see what

he’s up to.”

Jackie nodded, “You’re right, but I feel like the masked man probably did not leave only a single mark behind. We

might be able to see similar marks around here.”

Right after he said that an explosive sound was heard. It was as if someone was heading toward them at a fast

speed. The four of them jumped back in surprise, and their eyes all moved to the origin of the sound

A handsome man in green robes was rushing toward them, with three others behind him. The man was already less

than a hundred and fifty meters away from them. Looking at that, Hayden was incredibly emotional

“Graham is here, he’s finally here. With the two of you, I probably won’t have to die anymore…”

Seeing Graham had put Hayden thoroughly at ease. Jackie raised his eyebrow, his mind thinking back to the sound

transfer array that Hayden had taken out earlier

The array was something incredibly expensive. Normally, regular disciples could not possibly own them. Even if

Hayden was one of the top internal disciples in the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, he still did not have the money to buy

such a thing.

That meant that the array must have been given by someone else. The uniqueness of the array meant that just

buying one was useless, they would have needed two for it to be used.

Thinking about that, Jackie turned and looked at Hayden meaningfully. Before, Jackie thought that Hayden had a bit

of a rotten mouth, but was just one of the stronger disciples in the Thousand Leaves Pavilion.

There had been nothing particularly noteworthy about Hayden, but now it seemed like he had underestimated the

guy.

As he thought about it, Graham and Benjamin landed in front of them. When Graham saw Jackie, his eyes narrowed

a little, obviously surprised.

Chapter 2314 However, he had never been a particularly expressive person, so he resisted his surprise. The people

behind him obviously did not have Graham’s level of control.

The moment they saw Jackie, they all widened their eyes. Their faces were full of questions. Graham first nodded

slightly at Hayden before he walked forward to them, saluting Jackie.

“Jackie, I can’t believe I’m meeting you here. I’d have thought that you’d already have been at least twice as far

inside, killing countless fiends.”

The words sounded respectful, but Jackie paid no mind to it at all. He felt amused that Graham was definitely not as

upright and straight as he wanted to seem. It would seem like Graham was a schemer as well, and he would need

to be careful interacting with Graham.

Jackie merely nodded slightly, shooting Hayden a look. Hayden immediately understood what Jackie wanted, and

did not hesitate to reveal everything they had discovered.

Graham had a dark look on his face. Once Hayden finished, Graham said seriously, “Actually, I noticed a few

corpses on the way here as well. All of those corpses belonged to the northern clans. I had wondered if it had been

the work of fiends or maybe fighting over the treasure.

“Now, it doesn’t seem to be the case. It looks like someone has already decided that all of us need to die here.”

The last words had been practically forced out of Graham’s mouth through clenched teeth. Benjamin did not look to

be in a good state as well.

He stepped forward and said, “What should we do?! I never expected that the Corpse Pavilion would be so ruthless

to want to kill us all off! None of us expected something like this from the start, and we gave them a chance to seize

the initiative. Who knows how many have died.”

Benjamin was right. Even though they’ve only noticed a dozen or so corpses thus far, no one could guarantee that

was the extent of it. It was possible that, with the masked man at the helm, the Corpse Pavilion had already started

slaughtering all of the northern clan disciples.

The eight that were present all had ugly looks on their faces. If the Corpse Pavilion really gained the upper hand,

then the masked man would definitely surround all those who remained at the end.

Even though Graham, Benjamin, and Jackie were all extraordinary, there was still no way for them to fight against

those sorts of numbers. If it turned into a numbers game, then they would be helpless.

If that happened, they would be forced to run, leaving behind the weaker disciples. Even if they survived, they

would not know what to say when they returned to their clans.

They were already at the brink of despair when they suddenly heard frantic footsteps in the distance. The eight of

them looked toward the noise.

They saw a man in ragged clothing limping toward them, staggering as he moved. When the man noticed Jackie

and the others, he was incredibly emotional

Even though his leg was injured, he still quickened up the pace. Jackie furrowed his eyebrows, feeling like the

silhouette looked incredibly familiar. He could not stop himself from walking forward for a better look.

When he saw who he was, his heart stopped, and he hurriedly ran forward.

When the man saw Jackie and the others, it was like he had found his last hope! He ran quickly and urgently, and

his left foot ended up tripping over his right, sending him tumbling to the ground.

Right before he fell on the ground, someone reached out their hands, holding him securely and pulling him up

slowly.

Chapter 2315 Jackie had a trace of uncertainty in his voice, “Nelson!”

At that moment, Nelson was in an incredibly bad state. His clothes had all been stained with blood, his body ripped

all over by some unknown weapon. He looked to be in a worse state than some beggar by the side of the road. He

had lost all trace of his usual noble demeanor.

Nelson tightly clenched Jackie’s arm, his lips trembled slightly, “Jackie! I finally found you!”

At that moment, the rest of them had caught up. When Isaiah saw that it was the chosen disciple, Nelson, he

widened his mouth in surprise, not daring to believe what he was seeing.

He immediately knelt down, holding Nelson with both hands, “What happened?! How are you so injured?!”

Jackie did a simple check of Nelson’s injuries. A third of his Vessels were already broken, and he had countless

wounds, big and small. There were even two broken bones. The fact that Nelson had managed to reach this place

was already a testament to his will.

Nelson no longer had the energy to respond to Isaiah’s questions. Jackie knew very well how much Nelson was

suffering at that moment.

He looked up at Isaiah, “Do you have recovery medication, I…”

Jackie had a very troubled expression on his face hearing Nelson. Isaiah immediately knew what Jackie was thinking

when he saw the expression and did not dwell on the problem.

Reaching into his storage ring, he took out two recovery pills, stuffing them into Nelson’s mouth. Jackie was already

an elder disciple and was in a much higher position than a regular disciple.

However, Isaiah knew that Jackie had only been an elder disciple for a few days, there was no way for him to have

accumulated any wealth. Hence, he could not have had any recovery pills, which was why Jackie was forced to look

at him.

After taking the pills, Nelson’s expression calmed down a bit. Jackie and Isaiah helped Nelson take a seat, and

Nelson started to shut his eyes to meditate and recover. After two hours, Nelson’s injuries started to stabilize.

Even though he was still heavily injured, he had cleared his mind enough to start answering questions. Graham and

the others moved over, asking a few questions about Nelson’s injuries before anxiously asking him what happened.

Nelson frowned. “Ever since I left the starting spot, I had planned on killing a few fiends and possibly obtaining

some good treasures. On the way, I met a few fellow disciples and formed a small alliance.

“The small alliance consisted of five of us, three from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion and two from the Thousand

Leaves Pavilion.”

For some reason, Nelson had a strange look on his face when he mentioned the alliance. Even if most of them had

noticed, none of them interrupted him.

Nelson continued, “The five of us advanced together, killing fiends. The journey had been filled with surprises but

had not been particularly dangerous. Yet, two hours ago, we suddenly encountered a large group of disciples from

the Corpse Pavilion!”

Nelson’s hands trembled as he recall the scene. He could not hold back his fear and anger. It looked like he had

witnessed slaughter before his own eyes.

“I had no idea how many disciples the masked man had with him. However, I knew that there would be no way for

the five of us to stand up to so many of them.

“Furthermore, with the masked man at the helm, they could probably easily accomplish anything they wanted to!

So, the five of us avoided looking for any trouble with them.

“He did not know what the masked man was bringing so many fellow disciples around for. So, we got curious…”

Chapter 2316 Nelson’s lips curved into a bitter smile as he spoke. It was as if he was mocking himself as well as the

people who had discussed it back then.

“I had thought that as long as he didn’t provoke them, and as long as he tried to stay out of their way, we wouldn’t

be in any danger. No one would’ve ever expected that they’d suddenly stop advancing when they noticed us, and

rush right at us instead.

“The five of us fled the moment we realized something was wrong. However, we were too slow, and they eventually

caught onto us. Not even bothering to listen to us, about our identity or where we’re from, the first thing they did

was attack us with their weapons!”

Nelson’s whole body trembled, his eyes growing bloodshot as flashbacks of what had happened ran through his

mind. He felt completely broken.

He gulped and continued, “How could we have stood up against them? I looked on as my fellow disciple fell right

before me. At that moment, all I could think of was fleeing!

“Thankfully, the elder gave me an offensive talisman before we left. The attack from the item was incredibly strong

after it was activated, and it blew a hole in the group. I…took that opportunity to escape.

The tears that pooled in Nelson’s eyes finally fell at that moment, and they dripped onto his clothes. Everyone

exchanged looks, noticing how grave the issue was.

It was just like they had anticipated, but it also meant that the situation was already at its worst.

Isaiah painfully said, “So you’re the only one who survived?”

In truth, Isaiah had merely been lamenting the situation. With what had happened, Nelson would have been the

only survivor, yet…

Nelson’s expression suddenly changed when Isaiah questioned him, as if there was another twist.

His demeanor had garnered everyone’s attention. Those who were not familiar with Nelson could not formulate

words at that moment, but Isaiah had known Nelson for many years. With how strange Nelson’s expression was, he

asked, “Did something else happen? Has someone else survived?”

Nelson had not planned on speaking about that. After all, it was not just those from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion that

were gathered there. However, if he did not say it, it could very well bring them all harm.

With that, Nelson brought himself to confess,” Someone else had survived, yes. Not only did he survive, but he’s not

injured at all. He’s in a very good state.”

Nelson’s anger was evident in the way he spoke, and the individuals around him looked on in curiosity. Nelson let

out a long sigh as he rubbed his temples.

“There were three of us from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion,” added Nelson, nearly growling. “Other than me and the

disciple who died, there was also Griffin Olsen!”

Normally, even though Nelson did not truly approve of how Griffin acted, he regarded Griffin as a junior. However,

the situation was completely different this time.

Nelson’s wrath was unbridled at this point when he spat out his response, and it was too obvious to ignore.

Jackie suddenly smirked. “Did Griffin submit himself to Corpse Pavilion before you even started fighting?”

“He sucked up to the masked man and constantly bad -mouthed me. Not only did he manage to survive, but he’s

now a part of the Corpse Pavilion.”

Nelson’s face stiffened as he gazed at Jackie regretfully. Even though he did not want to admit it, the truth was still

the truth, and there was no way for him to change it. He forced himself to nod.

“It’s as you said. Back then, we were incredibly furious, but that didn’t help at all. He had already made up his mind

and will probably never return to the Dual Sovereign Pavilion.”

Chapter 2317 Jackie snorted, not thinking much about it. “I think he’d still be able to return. As long as all of us die

here, no one will be able to prove what he did. He’d naturally be able to go back safely and might even receive a

bountiful reward.”

The others visibly soured at this. Even though it was hard for them to criticize the situation, with Griffin’s status as

well as the others from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion present, they still abhorred Griffin’s actions silently.

Even scumbags would detest those who only knew how to suck up to others when challenges arose.

Isaiah gritted his teeth as he said, “He’s gone too far. What he’s done before is one thing, but with what he did this

time-“

“That’s enough,” interjected Jackie as he raised his hand, “it’s not worth us wasting time talking about him at this

point.”

Jackie then slowly stood up and turned to look at Graham. “Do you have any way of communicating with the rest?

“With them gathering up their forces against us, our best course of action is to gather every last one of our

manpower.”

Graham nodded grimly, hurriedly taking out the sound-transfer array and contacting everyone else. The Dual

Sovereign Pavilion also had a way of sharing its location, but compared to the sound transfer array, it was far

simpler.

Nonetheless, it was still quite useful. After quickly contacting everyone in 15 minutes, they had notified everyone

they could.

After about two hours, all the surviving northern clan disciples had been gathered. There were even those who had

forced themselves to come over, despite varying injuries.

After they did a headcount, they noticed that there were only 25 of them left. When they entered the Hidden Place

for Resources, the northern clan had brought in a total of 90 disciples. The losses were already more than two-

thirds.

It was a massive loss. Furthermore, it was not guaranteed that all 25 of them would make it out alive. The situation

was already in an incredibly serious state.

After everyone had gathered, the unsettling feeling had been somewhat quelled. Graham was busy consoling the

other disciples, while Jackie had picked a secluded spot and brought Nelson over as well.

He sat down next to Nelson and tended to Nelson’s wounds, not saying a single word.

Nelson looked at Jackie helplessly. “Tell me: will we survive?”

As he said that, he had an aura of despair and hopelessness about him. Jackie could understand how he felt after

stabilizing the injuries, Jackie told Nelson about Riv’s death. Nelson and Riv had been quite close, and when Nelson

finally registered the news of his demise, his morale plunged into an all-new low.

Jackie shook his head. “There’s no point thinking about all this now; you better focus on recovering.”

At that moment, Graham’s voice could be heard from a distance, “Come, Jackie. Let’s discuss our next course of

action.”

Jackie sighed in exasperation. In truth, he did not want to discuss anything with Graham. He kept feeling like even

though the guy seemed like a perfect gentleman on the surface, he was, in truth, not that righteous.

Unfortunately, at that moment, they were forced to work together, and staying as a group was the most sound

choice. With that in mind, he was forced to walk toward Graham.

Graham anxiously said, “Jackie, what do you think his goal is?

Jackie let out a small chuckle. “That’s not hard to guess.”

Chapter 2318

Graham frowned as he looked at Jackie earnestly. Jackie gazed into the distance, looking at the endless color of

blood on the horizon. He fell deep in thought, and after a good while, he finally opened his mouth and continued,

“He wants to kill us. There are, after all, benefits to achieving just that. After all, we’re his competitors, and only by

killing us will he easily obtain those rewards.

“If we successfully arrive at the foot of Netherworld Mountain and get sent back to the Divine Void Slope, there will

be another battle after that. If it had been before, he would probably have been incredibly confident in beating the

both of us. However, right now… He probably doesn’t have that confidence anymore.”

Graham nodded in agreement; Jackie was right. Killing them would save him a lot of trouble.

Jackie smiled coldly before he added, “He’s got a grudge against me from the start, too. Furthermore, he definitely

has another goal in entering the Hidden Place for Resources. In clearing us, his obstacles, it’ll be much easier for

him to do anything.”

Graham’s face was sullen as he said, “So that’s why he wants to kill us all- not wanting anyone to survive?

Jackie nodded, and Graham was close to losing control of his composure. Just thinking about the masked man, who

always acted high and mighty, and thinking about the incredibly disadvantageous position they were in made him

incredibly anxious.

He looked up at Jackie. “I think something’s wrong,”

Jackie raised a brow, motioning for Graham to continue, Graham lowered his voice as he said,” You’re right. His

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

greatest wish at the moment is to clear obstacles, and that’s us, so he can arrive at Netherworld Mountain alone,

making him the only one who passed

“He doesn’t have the confidence that he can kill the two of us in one blow, so he needed to plot and scheme,

clearing everyone around us and leaving us alone. Then, he’d use numbers to eliminate us.”

Saying that, he paused, and Jackie nodded. “That’s probably what he’s planning, so which part of it do you think is

wrong?”

Jackie seemed to have thought of something after his own question, and he smirked. “You’re saying that since he’s

trying to eliminate everyone who can help the two of us, then no traces would be left, but we found the corpses.”

Graham nodded. That was indeed what he was thinking, and it was far too much of a strange point.

If the masked man truly did plan on eliminating everyone else, leaving only both him and Jackie for last, then he

would not have let them realize something was strange.

However, after he killed the northern clan disciples, h e allowed the others to run amok, not bothering to clear any

traces and displayed too blatantly. It was clear he did not care if Graham and the others could see it.

“That’s a hefty question. Before we can clear up this point, I feel like your earlier guess has no ground to stand on.”

Graham was right, and Jackie agreed with what he said as well. Jackie smiled, not answering Graham’s question

and, instead, mentioned the hidden traces of electricity on the withered tree.

Graham said in confusion, “He left traces of the Evil Blood Thunder as a mark, and you think that there’s definitely

more than just one? What does this have to do with your earlier suspicions?”

Jackie looked up and said earnestly, “The two definitely have something to do with each other. You were definitely

right before. Since he wanted to kill off everyone around us and finish us off in the end, then he wouldn’t have let us

notice it.

“However, the fact of the matter is that he seems to be deliberately letting us notice it. He wanted to display

everything in front of us, so there’s definitely something behind it. Whatever they are, his goals are all for us to

see.”

Chapter 2319

“There are so many amazing things on the Divine Void Slope, so who wouldn’t want them? Of course he wants

them all for himself, and if that’s the case, then he first needs to get rid of all of us!”

Graham could still not fully accept everything that was said, and doubt clouded his eyes.

Jackie smiled lightly as he walked forward, placing a hand on Graham’s shoulder. “Since his goal is obvious, then

everything he’s done is to contribute toward that goal. Him leaving the mark behind is also for that goal.

“Even though he still doesn’t know the full details, as long as we obtain even more evidence, the answer will

naturally reveal itself.”

Graham nodded, not understanding it fully. The two of them suddenly fell silent, and neither of them said anything.

They were both deep in their own thoughts, but Jackie seemed to have a calmer expression, while Graham’s was

much darker.

He was incredibly worried about what would happen next. After a long time, Graham finally urged, “Then, what

should we do after this?”

Jackie walked two steps forward. “Search.”

“Search for what?”

“Search for the other marks the masked man left behind. Once we find enough of them, we’ll be able to find out.

Furthermore, you have to remember that our goal this time isn’t revenge but passing the stage instead.”

Graham nodded, feeling that Jackie’s words were reasonable.

Jackie continued, “Let’s stop getting tangled up here, then. If we want to find answers, we have to first find the

other marks. After that, we continue advancing; we can’t just hand a free pass to the masked man.”

“Even though he’ll threaten our safety, we’ve already prepared ourselves, and we have enough skills as well. All

these problems can be solved.”

Jackie’s last few words were said in a very firm manner, causing Graham to be taken aback. This disciple from the

Dual Sovereign Pavilion named Jackie never failed to surprise Graham, time after time.

He never expected that a disciple from a regular third -grade clan could advance to where Jackie was. The fact was

that his skill was on par with Graham’s. He was also strategic, and he was incredibly mature in how he spoke and

acted.

Jackie looked at Graham and noticed that the latter was already looking at him differently. He could not help but

snort mentally, but he did not dwell on the matter.

He decided to change the topic instead, saying, “We don’t have any time to waste. Since we’re sure of what we

have to do next, we should hurry up and make our arrangements.”

Those words served as a reminder to Graham, and Graham immediately jumped into action, hurriedly walking

toward the others. He had just taken two steps when Jackie’s voice was heard behind him,” Remember: we can’t

afford to split up. No matter where we go, we have to go together. Otherwise, we’d just be giving them a chance.”

Graham nodded without turning his head around. He arrived at where everyone was gathered before he loudly

arranged everything. He had everyone stand apart, taking turns sending their senses out, and rotating every two

hours.

Chapter 2320

Four of them would send out their senses every time. Each in charge of one direction. That way, they preserved

their aura and true energy while they also increased their accuracy. After arranging everything, they decided on a

direction to advance.

When everyone advanced, Jackie, Graham, and the other stranger combatants were all arranged to stand at the

front. They truly felt the power of moving as a group then, and everyone felt a sense of security.

After all, they had lost over two-thirds of their people, and they were already at the stage where everyone was in

danger. While the group advanced at a steady pace, Jackie once again talked to Graham and Benjamin.

It was not really much of a conversation, however, because Jackie’s tone had a hint of accusation to it. His dark

eyes were focused on Graham to his left.

“Graham, as a top-five chosen disciple in the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, you must have the favor of the elders and

leaders. There’s something in my heart that I’ve been mulling over for several days, and I wonder if you can help

me clear my doubts.”

Even though the words sounded polite, there was an accusatory undertone to it that slightly stunned Graham and

Benjamin.

Graham raised an eyebrow. “If it’s something I know, I’ll tell you. However, if it involves secrets of the clan, then I

really can’t help you.”

The words sounded ambiguous, but Jackie did not mind. He smiled lightly as he said, “What is the Thousand Leaves

Pavilion planning? Why did they allow the Corpse Pavilion to enter this place? Did the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s

internal and external elders feel like the Corpse Pavilion’s disciples would be kind enough to not harm us?

“A Big part of what’s happening right now is because the Corpse Pavilion was allowed entry. If it was just us northern

clans, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point regardless of whatever conflict would’ve taken place.”

Jackie’s words were very meaningful, and it caused Graham and Benjamin to have a change of expression. It truly

was a question that could not be overlooked, and Jackie was right. If the Corpse Pavilion had not been allowed

entry, this catastrophe would not have happened.

They would not have lost so many disciples.

Just thinking about Riv’s bloodless face caused Jackie To boil in anger. He truly did not understand what the

Thousand Leaves Pavilion was trying to do.

At Mount Beasts, the Thousand Leaves Pavilion had noticed the Corpse Pavilion sealing the place up, yet they acted

like nothing had happened, ignoring the disciples on Mount Beasts.

It was as if those lives were insignificant to them. Entering the Hidden Place for Resources needed permits, and

there were only 180 of them. They did not even have enough to distribute among themselves, but they took out

half for the southern clans.

Jackie could not understand their actions at all.

Graham let out a long sigh as he answered, albeit rather exasperatedly, “The Pavilion doing this naturally has its

own reasons as well as their plans. After all, the elders and disciples from the Thousand Leaves Pavilion aren’t

idiots. There’s no way they’re doing all of this for no good reason; they must have a very special goal.”

Hearing all that, Jackie could not hold back the mockery in his words as his face darkened. “Do you think such an
