chapter 2096-2100


    Chapter 2096


    Two pairs of eyes stared beggingly at Jackie. They were too shocked by what just happened before their


    eyes. The eldest brother, who was stronger than both of them, stood no chance against Jackie at all.


    Was Jackie even human? How could he be so monstrously strong when he was only at the initial stage


    of innate level?


    This kind of blow made all their resistance disappear. They were not shy to kneel before Jackie. After all,


    what’s the use of dignity when one is so close to death? Dudley vigorously knocked his head against the


    ground three times. It was as if Jackie was the ancestor of his eighteenth generation. Instantly, his


    forehead was swollen and red.


    “My Lord, please be the bigger person and spare our lives. We really had no intention of killing you and


    were just following orders,” said Dudley who was begging in tears.


    Damian knocked his head against the ground too while begging, “I don’t want to die yet! I beg of you to


    chalk all this down to our youthful ignorance and let us go. We will definitely tell anyone what happened


    here. We will not stay here. We will immediately return to the Corpse Pavilion and nevere out


    again!”


    The two of them desperately knocked their heads a few more times. Jed curled his lips in disdain and


    said provocatively, “Are you sure the two of you are the disciples of a fourth-grade n association?


    How can you be so spineless? A man should only kneel down to heaven, earth, his parents, and his


    master. You’re not a man at all to kneel down at this moment.”


    After hearing this, Dudley suddenly raised his head and stared at Jed with an angry look. “You shut your


    trap. My life is more important than my pride. I bet you’ll be kneeling too if you’re in my ce!”

    The words struck Jed’s nerves. Just moments before, he did not really care whether they live or die but


    now, he was a cock that had been defeated in a fight and was blowing up his feather.


    “What did you say? Did you hear what he said, Brother Jackie? We should torture them before we end


    their lives!” He was shouting so loudly that Dwight had to cover his ears.


    Dwight nced sideways at Jed. He wanted to remind Jed how he treated Jackie before all this. It


    seemed as if he had made a hundred and eighty degree change of attitude after Jackie showed them


    what he could do.


    Jackie ignored Jed. In fact, he did not even look at him. Instead, he walked two steps forward, looked at


    Dudley, and said, “Whether you can get out of here alive or dead depends on what you can do for us.”

    He killed Derek because he was the strongest of the three brothers and also to use his death to frighten


    his two brothers. After all, he still had a lot of questions that needed answers from them.


    Derek’s eyes lit up when he heard the underlying meaning of Jackie’s words. The corners of his mouth


    inched up to a cating smile. “Don’t worry, I will dly answer all your questions. I will tell you whatever


    I know, as long as you let us go…”


    Jackie looked at them with a half-smile and he retracted back his awe-inspiring murderous aura. Without


    it, he looked just like the friendly boy-next-door.


    “Then tell me, why did the Corpse Pavilion take so much effort toe to the Mount Beasts and how can


    we deactivate the trap array you guys have set up?”


    These two issues were the most important thing they had to figure out right now.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Chapter 2097


    “You two bastards better not say anything! I’ll haunt you to the ends of the world if you do!” shouted


    Robin suddenly.


    Both Dudley and Damian trembled when they heard his threat. After all, they were of an inferior position


    to him and had to bow to him every time they saw him. Their faces were already pale, to begin with, but


    all remaining blood drained out of them, making them even paler.


    Jackie frowned and then raised his right hand, and a gray-ck light instantly stabbed Robin again.


    “Ahh!” screamed Robin in pain. This time his screams were even more violent than before. His soul was


    already riddled with holes after being hit by Jackie’s Destroying the Void move and now his soul was


    rendered even more precarious with thetest attack.


    Advertisement


    This time he felt that his soul had beenpletely torn apart, and his consciousness gradually blurred.


    An injury of this degree could not be saved. He had at most another two to four hours to live.


    His shrill screams reverberated in Dudley’s and Damian’s eardrums. Beads of cold sweat soaked their


    temples and neck. Both of them were breathing fast, and they seemed as if they would faint any time.


    Jackie arched his eyebrow and said in a calm tone, “If you don’t tell me everything you know, I will make


    sure that you won’t enjoy a quick death like your dear brother. Robin is the best example. Do you know


    why he is suffering so much? It’s because I am destroying and stripping his soul with the Soul Sword.


    The most unbearable pain in the world is having your soul in.”


    Hearing this, the two brothers fell into despair. Both of their breathing had be stagnant because of


    the immense fear they were feeling. Dudley felt that his scalp was numb and his face was stiff. Only the


    trembling corners of his mouth showed that he was still alive.


    He nodded heavily and said, “Rest assured that we will tell you everything we know. Just please don’t


    strip our souls!”


    Jackie arched his brow and said, “Then you will do well to answer my questions now!”


    With some difficulty, Dudley took a deep breath and said, “We are really just minions. We know little of


    the Corpse Pavilion’s ns but what I can tell you is that we came from other states to Mount Beasts


    using the transporter. We arrived a month ago. After entering the mountain, we set up the trap array and


    began building many transporters. I think they were hoping to bridge the gap between the north and the


    south so that the disciples of the Corpse Pavilion cane to the north without any hindrance…”


    Jackie narrowed his eyes, pressed his chest forward, and looked down at the trembling Dudley who was


    kneeling on the ground. “You swear you’re telling the truth?”


    Dudley nodded vigorously and even put up his hand. “I swear to heaven everything I said is true. I will


    die a thousand deaths if any of it is untrue.”


    Jackie nodded, his expression still frightening. After hearing these words, Jed and others frowned, and


    the atmosphere became a lot more serious.


    Chapter 2098 “I knew they were definitely up to no good! I can’t believe they’re building transporters..


    Could it be that they n tounch a war against the Thousand Leaves Pavilion? But as far as I know,


    the Thousand Leaves Pavilion and Corpse Pavilion are on par with each other. There’s no doubt that it


    could end up with both sides suffering heavy losses and even if they win, the benefits would far outweigh


    the cost,” muttered Dwight.


    Albion nodded in agreement. “You are right, even if the two n associations really fight, the final result


    will not be a one-sided victory. Unless…the Corpse Pavilion has some tricks up their sleeves…”


    Generally speaking, two n associations of equal strength would not engage in arge-scale battle


    unless they have deep grievances or it involves significant interests. After all, doing so would result in a


    lose-lose situation. In the end, even if one side won, it was very likely that the gain will not be worth the


    loss, so there would be no war between the two n associations without ast resort, but it seemed


    like a war was what the Corpse Pavilion was aiming for. Otherwise, why would they go to such length to


    set up so many transporters to bring their disciples over?


    Albion took a step forward, looked down at Dudley, and asked, “Is the Corpse Pavilion nning tounch


    a war against the Thousand Leaves Pavilion?”


    Dudley shook his head. “Didn’t I just say I’m a minion that doesn’t know anything? Why would the higher-


    ups tell us what they’re nning to an ordinary informal disciple like me?”


    Albion thought about it then nodded grudgingly. Dudley was indeed a minion and there was no way he


    would know any confidential information. He med himself for being impatient to ask something like


    that.


    “And the second question?” asked Jackie.


    Dudley frowned slightly as if he did not want to tell, but he knew that if he did not answer Jackie, he


    would be dead in a second. “You’ll need an entry token to get out.”


    Jackie straightened up and asked, “Do you have it?”


    Dudley shook his head. “Not everyone has an entry token to prevent this exact kind of situation from


    happening. You will be able to get out of the trap array once you get your hands on the array token but


    then you will also be found out…”


    Jackie sighed lightly and stared regretfully at them. Seeing this did not make Dudley feel the slightest


    relief at all. Instead, his neck tightened, for he had immediately understood what Jackie was thinking.


    In other words, he did not prove to be useful enough, for he did not have the entry token. In the end,


    death still found its way to him. He shuddered and quickly said, “But I know Robin has it. Not everyone


    has the entry token. It will only be ced with important people for emergencies. Robin is close to our


    elder n brother since Robin had always fawned over him. He gave Robin an entry token which you


    can find on him. An opening will appear as long as this entry token is integrated into the trap array with a


    special method and then you’ll be able to get out of here through that opening.”


    Jackie arched his brow. ‘Which means I still need to keep you alive.’ Time would tell whether Dudley was


    telling the truth. Lying still on the ground, Dudley took two steps forward with his knees and reached out


    to grab Jackie’s pants but his hand was smoothly evaded by him.


    Chapter 2099 “There’s no need for that. Just say whatever you need to say.”


    Dudley’s face turned a little purple. He did not care about anything anymore. “I beg you. Please spare


    me. I will definitely take you out and keep our mouths shut as long as you let us go.”


    Jackie nodded. They were his best shot. Jackie and the others should be safe as long as they kept


    watch over the two brothers to ensure that they could not send any message to the other disciples of the


    Corpse Pavilion.


    However, Jackie keenly perceived the different meanings of what Dudley had just said. He turned around


    and stared at him with cold eyes. “How many days has it been since the trap array was set up?”


    After calcting in his mind, Jackie realized that it had been more than ten days since he stepped foot


    into the mountain. He did not feel any obstructioning in here, that was to say, the trap array had not


    been set up at that time.


    “Around nine or ten days,” said Dudley after mentally calcting it.


    “And not one Thousand Leaves Pavilion people came here during that time?” asked Jackie.


    Dudley shook his head and replied very sincerely, “Not that I’ve heard of. The trap array we set up has


    never been attacked. Several cultivators who escaped our line of sight attacked the trap array from within


    the trap array.”


    Hearing this made Jackie even more surprised. ording to his statement, the trap array had been set


    up for at least nine days and yet the Thousand Leaves Pavilion never noticed anything strange during


    that period?


    After all, would it not be strange if none of the disciples returned to the sect in those nine days? Under


    normal circumstances, they would definitely find something off about this so how was it possible that they


    did not send out men to annihte the Corpse Pavilion disciples in the mountain?


    If Jackie were a senior member of the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, he would immediately send people to


    investigate after he noticed something amiss, and thenunch an attack to rescue the disciples trapped


    In the array and destroy the n of the Corpse Pavilion. However, nine days had passed and there was


    still no movement from the Thousand Leaves Pavilion.


    Neither did they send anyone to rescue the disciples trapped inside, norunched an attack. It was as if


    they were blissfully unaware of what was happening. Jackie’s expression became more solemn at the


    thought of this.


    He nced sideways at Dwight and the others and saw that their expressions were also very strange.


    This was definitely not a normal situation. Maybe the Thousand Leaves Pavilion was under attack right


    now or ran into some other ident. However, they had no way of finding out since they were still


    trapped there.


    “Jed, bury the bodies and tidy up the surroundings. We will set off to the mountain border once all that is


    done,” said Jackie.


    Hearing this, Jed became baffled. He pointed at the bodies on the ground and asked, “Why do I have to


    be the only one to do the cleaning up?”


    Jackie chuckled and gazed at him softly, “Because I find you displeasing. You don’t have to do what I


    say. I just won’t bring you out with me.”


    They were strangers, to begin with, and though Jackie found Jed to be friendly at first, he soon proved


    him otherwise. Besides, Jackie not only provided them with a ce to heal their wounds but also took


    them out of their predicament. Without him, they would have been long dead.


    Chapter 2100


    Jed kept talking nonsense along the way. As long as Jackie said something wrong, he would ridicule him


    with harsh words. Jackie was not the type of person who allowed others to bully him. The fact that he


    had endured Jed for so long was mercy enough.


    Jed looked at Jackie’s cold face. Although his tone was calm and there was not a hint of anger on his


    face, he also knew that if he defied Jackie’s orders, he would leave him there without hesitation.


    Albion wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere but was held back by Dwight. Dwight was


    obviously smarter than Jed. He knew that if Jackie did not get his revenge on Jed now, there would be


    more hell to payter, down the road.


    “Why do you find me displeasing?” asked Jed, flushed with humiliation.


    “Think about all that you have said to me before. As I said, it’s up to you whether you want to do what I


    say or be left alone here,” said Jackie with a smirk.


    He then called Nash over as if getting ready to leave the ce. Seeing this made Jed panic. “I’ll do it! I’ll


    bury the bodies!”


    He immediately began to deal with the dead body on the ground and restored the ce to its original


    appearance, leaving no trace of the previous fierce battles. After doing all this, he wiped the sweat from


    his forehead and though his face was a little stiff, he still did not dare to say anything.


    Jackie nodded in satisfaction. He tied up Dudley’s and Damian’s hands firmly and sealed their meridians


    with true energy. Finally, the group of people left the ce. Through Dudley’s guidance, they found the


    shortest way to leave the mountain.


    They remained alert even though they had tasted victory. Dwight walked in the forefront, his perception


    on high alert. They walked cautiously, for fear that they would meet one or two disciples of the Corpse


    Pavilion, though, with Jackie there, they were not particrly afraid.


    Still, Dudley had told them that there were not only powerful n brothers in the mountain but also


    several elders and deacons stationed in the mountain. They were afraid of attracting the attention of


    these people, so they moved very slowly, taking every step carefully, and after four hours they finally


    came to the border of the mountain.


    Standing on tiptoes and looking out, they could still see the spring smoke from the town outside. The trap


    array was like an invisible barrier, and the entire mountain was trapped inside.


    They sighed with relief at finally having reached the border. The past few days had passed by in a


    nervous haze; it was as if a shackle had been locked around their throats, making it difficult for them to


    breathe.


    “We can finally leave this ce!” said Jed, ovee with emotions.


    Just when he wanted to say a few more words, there was a sudden movement from the field in the


    distance, as if something was rubbing against the grass, and the nerves that had just loosened tightened


    again.


    Several people nced at each other and suddenly looked in the direction of the sound. It was a thick


    eucalyptus tree, its trunk spanned ten arms width. Jackie frowned and shouted, “Who’s there?”


    One could not me him for behaving like a frightened bird. After all, they were all so close to getting out


    of the mountain and desperately wished for things to go smoothly.


    Albion stretched out his hand and patted Jackie on the shoulder. “Calm down. Maybe it’s just a small


    animal. The mountain is known for its abundance of beasts after all. It’s probably just a small animal


    wandering on the edge.”


    Jackie nced at Albion, hoping what he said was true. It was then that an old voice came from behind


    the big tree. “Are you all disciples from the Thousand Leaves Pavilion and the Dual Sovereign Pavilion?
