chapter 2111-2115
Chapter 2111
Noel stared speechlessly at Jackie before rolling his eyes at him. “Do you hear yourself? Going to war
against the Muddled Origin n and going to war against the Corpse Pavilion is totally different, okay?
One is on par with us and the other is a fourth-grade n association! By then, it’s not up to us to say
whether we want to go to the battlefield because they will force us to go for sure!”

Jackie arched his eyebrow and said defensively, “It’s not as if the Corpse Pavilion is specifically targeting
us! There’ll be other n associations fighting against them too. Besides, their target is to get rid of the
Thousand Leaves Pavilion first, meaning they would be the main force in this matter while we’ll only act
as supporters.”
Noel shrugged his shoulders helplessly but his lips were pressed in a tight line. “You’re more na?ve than I
thought. Yes, the Thousand Leaves Pavilion would be the main force but do you think they would
sacrifice their disciples to protect us? Don’t be surprised if they treat us like pawns. Whatever happens,
we’ll be the unlucky ones. As an informal disciple, I might not be of great help in the war but it doesn’t
mean I can defy orders if I was sent as cannon fodder.”
A dry, bitter feeling spread from Noel’s mouth to his entire body, making him feel deathly ufortable.
Jackie arched his eyebrow and patted him on the shoulder. It was not as if he did not understand Noel’s
feelings.
“The war hasn’t started yet. I told you all these so that you can mentally prepare yourself. When the time
comes, you alone can choose the path that is best for you,” said Jackie.
Noel did not know whether tough or cry when he heard this. He shrugged his shoulders and said,
“You’re right. But what can I do? How can I turn my back on my own n association in times of need? I
might as well give up my identity as an informal disciple and be branded as a coward.”

Brook sighed. As a runner disciple, his presence was usually not needed on the battlefield but even so,
there was a high chance he would be sent there if the n association became desperate. Then, he
would be nothing but cannon fodder. Thinking about this made him feel like he had been thrown into
quicksand, the more he struggled, the quicker his death would be.
Noel mmed down his teacup angrily on the table. His eyes were filled with outrage. “What the hell are
those bastards from the Corpse Pavilion thinking? Why break the peace now? Isn’t it enough for them to
rule the south? Why do they have toe here to make trouble?”
“There’s no need to be confused and there’s no need to question their intelligence. There must be a
reason for them to go through all this effort and my guess is, it has something to do with the secret
resource ce,” said Jackie, a little down.
Then, he suddenly jerked his head up and solemnly asked, “What do the two of you know about the
secret resource ce? We need to exchange all the information we have so that we can figure out why
the Corpse Pavilion is going through all this length and why the Thousand Leaves Pavilion isn’t doing
anything about them.”

Noel furrowed his brow and gave it some thought before answering, “Actually, I have no idea what. I’ve
only heard that the secret resource ce has a lot of treasures and resources and both the Dual
Sovereign Pavilion and the Muddled Origin n want to im the ce for themselves. Hence, the war.
But presumably, those things should not be very precious, otherwise, why would the Thousand Leaves
Pavilion not im it for themselves?”
As the ruler of the north of West Cercei State, the Thousand Leaves Pavilion not only had a strong
influence but also upied most of the resources, so that they could continue to grow and prosper.
Chapter 2112
As Noel mentioned, if this secret resource ce was quite precious, the Thousand Leaves Pavilion
would definitely not allow two third-grade n associations topete for it; they would definitely take it
for its own!
Brook cut in at this moment, “Maybe they discovered something very valuable in the secret resource
ce and the news reached the ears of the Corpse Pavilion. That’s why they’ve spared no expense to
come here to get it for themselves.”
Noel nodded. It was logical, what Brook said, but then he asked, “Then why would the Thousand Leaves
Pavilion not do anything about them? ording to Brother Jackie, the trap array around Mount Beasts
had been there for more than ten days!
“No one, apart from Brother Jackie, came out in those ten days. Anyone with a little bit of a brain would
have figured out something was not right and sent someone to investigate the matter. They’re bound to
discover something if they do that.
It’s not something that could be easily missed so how is it that the Thousand Leaves Pavilion and our
Dual Sovereign Pavilion did not do anything? Don’t you find this weird? What are they nning exactly?”
Both Jackie and Brooke were struck dumb by his questions. It looked like they would not be able to
figure out what was going on unless they had more information. This and all the other questions knocked
against their skulls repeatedly.
Jackie’s brain began to hurt and he threw his hands up in surrender. “We shouldn’t torture ourselves,
trying to figure things out with little information we have. Things will be crystal clear if we give it a
little more time. Besides, the truth will always prevail. In the meantime, we just need to pay more
attention to our surroundings.”

They chatted for a bit longer. Noel was on duty that day so he left first. Brook was about to leave when
Jackie requested him to go to the Seven Stars Hall on his behalf to exchange the loot he got from Mount
Beasts for some contribution points.
Jackie ced the corpse and spirited core of the Frost Wolf, as well as the corpses and spirited cores of
the other monsters he had hunted, on the table with a bang. The scent of metallic blood instantly filled
the room.
Brook’s eyes widened and he pointed a trembling finger at the corpses. “Oh my god, these are all innate
level monsters! You’re really amazing to have single-handedly killed so many.”
Jackie furrowed with confusion. ‘Why is he so shocked? He had seen what I can do in the wager battle
arena, right? Therefore, isn’t it normal that I would be able to kill a few innate level monsters?’
Jackie’s confusion must be really obvious as Brook immediately knew what he was thinking about. The
corner of his lips lifted and he said, “The disciples usually go in groups when hunting in Mount Beasts.
It’s not because they want to but it’s because they have to since it’s so dangerous there, especially if you
come face-to-face with a herd of monsters.
“At that time, you not only have to fight against the monster in front of you but you also have to keep an
eye out for the other monsters. That’s where having a teammate woulde in handy. Not to mention,
only those who are extremely strong would dare to step into the areas where the innate level monsters
are active.”
Jackie finally understood why Brook was shocked by the corpses but Jackie really did not think this much
when he was hunting the monsters. The only thought he had was to kill the monsters and get the hell out
of there as soon as possible.
Chapter 2113 Then there was also the fact that he identally stumbled upon these monsters in the
acquire level monster area, where they were not known to be active. He now knew that the innate level
monsters had no choice but to escape to the periphery of the mountain because their usual area had
been upied by the Corpse Pavilion.
Jackieughed dryly and said, “I guess I’m just lucky… or maybe I’m really that strong. Haha.”
Brook became a little speechless at him. “Gah! It frustrates me topare myself to you. I will definitely
not go to the mountain alone! That would be akin to looking for death! I still can’t believe you single-
handedly killed all these monsters. By my rough estimation, you’ll get at least four hundred contribution
points for these!”
Brook’s estimation was right. In total, Jackie received four hundred and thirty contribution points, more
than what he imagined. The points shouldst him quite a while if he used them wisely. After all, he did
not have to use it in the Martial Art Techniques and Martial Skills Hall or consultation with the elders, so
to him, these contribution points were ample enough.
In the evening, Jackie went to the Soul Hall. It just so happened that Noel was also on duty tonight. After
seeing Jackie walking in, Noel raised his eyebrows in surprise, poured some tea for him, and said a little
unhappily, “Aren’t you working a little too hard? It hasn’t even been a day since you came back from
Mount Beasts. You’re making me look really bad, you know.”
Jackie chuckled and said, “It’s not that I want to be this hard working. It’s just that I’m afraid I won’t be
strong enough to handle whatever maye in the future.”
After thinking about it carefully, Noel felt that what Jackie said was right. After all, in critical times like
these, training to be more powerful was like putting insurance on one’s own life.
Noel took out the array board matter-of-factly. “The same difficulty asst time?”
Jackie shook his head and said, “Increase the difficulty to level five this time.”
Upon hearing this, Noel was not even surprised. He simply nodded, in his heart, he had already
assigned Jackie to the ranks of monsters. He would not even be surprised if Jackie asked him for the
maximum difficulty level.
“For the sake of my mental wellbeing, I’m going to stopparing myself to you…” muttered Noel to
himself. His hands never stopped adjusting the runes on the array board and immediately a white light
shed, signaling that the difficulty level had been increased. Without even lifting his head, Noel pointed
at the Array Eye Door and said, “You can go in now.”
Jackie nodded and entered the Array Eye Door. Once he was in, he felt the familiar feeling as the
darkness enveloped him. It was as if everything was being swallowed and even time and life had lost
their meaning there.
Chapter 2114 The array opened with a ‘cracking’ sound and waves of soul-shockwave rushed toward
Jackie without holding back. Jackie inhaled deeply and started meditating. He kept performing the seals
with his hands and the remaining power from the Shattered Soul Crystal sealed in his body was
activated.
It was much easier to form soul swords under the support of the remaining power from the Shattered
Soul Crystal. Ten days passed within the blink of an eye and Jackie sessfully formed five more soul
swords after using thest bit of remaining power from the Shattered Soul Crystal. This meant that
Jackie was capable of forming 15 soul swords to carry out attacks during fights. There was no need for
them to fight for such a long period of time and Robin would be killed by Jackie with a single attack if he
bumped into Robin right now.
Jackie exhaled deeply and decided to stop training. After all, an actual fight was the only criterion for a
person’sbat power and he nned to carry out two wager battles after he left the array. The Array
Eye Door opened and Jackie walked out of it, step by step.
He had just returned to the real world when he heard Noel hump up coldly and spoke in a mindless
manner. “What does this have to do with me? I’m not going. Even Wesley is just following his brother’s
lead. What can I do?”
Zayn, who was sitting beside Noel, seemed to be very excited. “I feel like we cannot say everything for
sure. What if he really likes you…”
Noel rolled his eyes at Zayn and grabbed Zayn’s clothes to put some distance between them as a
disgusting look appeared on his face. “Hey, have you been eating a lot of spirited herbs recently and
have forgotten yourmon knowledge? Which chosen disciple isn’t hand-picked from the formal
disciples?”
The heated discussion grew between those two that none of them realized the Array Eye Door had
opened and Jackie had exited the array. Jackie walked toward them curiously when he heard what they
were discussing. “Who really likes who? Wesley has a brother?”
The sudden interruption shocked the duo in discussion and Zayn almost jumped up from his seat. Noel
frowned and spoke with a twisted expression on his face. “Jackie, are you a cat? You don’t even make a
sound when you walk out. Are you trying to scare us to our deaths?”
Jackie shrugged his shoulders helplessly. “You guys did not hear the loud sound when the Array Eye
Door opened and you me me for not making a sound when the two of you were so focused on your
discussion. Alright, let’s not hover over these useless matters. Please let me know first, what were you
talking about? Does Wesley have a brother?”
Noel pulled a chair next to him and asked Jackie to sit. Jackie did not reject the gesture and poured
himself a cup of tea after sitting down. As of then, Noel had already assumed Jackie as his close friend
and started telling everything he knew. After Jackie heard the entire story, he spoke with a stiff
expression on his face. “You mean that Elder Godfrey is getting a disciple and this will be his only chosen
disciple?”
Noel nodded and nced at Jackie with a meaningful look in his eyes. As runner disciple Zayn was still
by their side, he could not point things out frankly.” That’s right, I was also surprised by this. I
remembered Elder Godfrey once said that he would not take any disciples. I wonder why the sudden
change of mind right now.”
Jackie took a deep inhale but said nothing as all sorts o f thoughts were running in his mind.
Chapter 2115
Zayn did not know about the issue between Jackie and Elder Godfrey. Hence, he spoke in a slightly
curious manner, “I feel that Elder Godfrey has let things go. In the past, he had been focused on training.
Now, he feels that his life will be too boring if he only focuses on training. It’s surely not as rewarding as
getting a disciple and teaching that person everything he knows.”
Noel rolled his eyes at Zayn. “Hey, can you stop guessing what the elder has on their mind with your own
thoughts? After all, they might have their own agendas.”
Zaynughed dryly. “You are right. Right now, Elder Godfrey has be one of the formal elders, and
based on our rules, we should address him as Elder Eleven.”
They normally would not address their formal elders with their surnames. Instead, they address them
based on their ranking. Right now, Elder Godfrey was in eleventh ce so they should address him as
Elder Eleven.
Jackie was lost in a daze for some time before he suddenly asked. “What about Wesley’s support, Elder
Sayer? What’s his ranking? Why do you guys address him as Elder Sayer instead of following his
ranking?”
Zayn obviously liked showing his knowledge so he rushed to convey the information to Jackie at this
moment. “Elder Sayer is in the eighth ce and ording to the rules, we should address him as Elder
Eight. However, Elder Sayer disliked this name for unknown reasons and he really hated when others
addressed him as Elder Eight. Hence, everybody addresses him as Elder Sayer in order to not offend
him.”
Jackie could not help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. He never expected Elder Sayer to be in
the eighth ce and that meant that he was quite strong. No wonder Wesley was so arrogant. With Elder
Sayer as his support, he had the capital to be confident. Jackie sighed and continued to ask, “Who’s
Wesley’s brother? Why haven’t I heard about him before this?”
Zayn quickly answered the question. “The Sayer family has a flourishing poption and it’s only natural
for their family to have more than one Wesley Sayer. Wesley’s full elder brother, Oliver Sayer, is one of
our formal disciples. Based onmon practice, Oliver should have be Elder Sayer’s chosen
disciple. However, he had be a formal disciple for six months but he hadn’t be a chosen
disciple for unknown reasons. You do not know about him because he was not in the sect during these
few months as he had gone out toplete his mission.”
Since Oliver was Wesley’s full brother, their rtionship should be quite close. Based on Wesley’s
temperament, he would definitelyin without holding back and describe Jackie as a heinous
person. It was possible that Oliver would take this opportunity to cause Jackie some trouble. Jackie could
not help but rub his temple. “How strong is Oliver?”
Noel replied, “He’s in the final stage of innate level and is quite strong. I heard that there’s a huge
possibility that he will fight for the position of the chosen disciple.”
A question appeared in Jackie’s head. “Is it possible that he never became Elder Sayer’s disciple
because he wants to fight for the position of the chosen disciple?”
Noel was stunned after he heard this. “It looks like you don’t even havemon knowledge about this.
Even if a disciple is epted to be an elder disciple, he or she can still be a chosen disciple as
long as they have the capability to be in the top ten among all disciples. There isn’t any conflict between
these two.”
Jackie had some realization after he heard this. If that was the case, Oliver’s actions were unexinable.
Was it possible that Elder Sayer did not ept Oliver as his elder disciple because he did not value
Oliver?
Noel spoke as he immediately knew what Jackie was thinking about when he saw Jackie’s expression.
“It’s not what you think. Elder Sayer values Oliver and he personally trained Oliver for a period of time
previously. We also wonder why he did not ept Oliver as his disciple. In the beginning, we even
discussed this matter for several days. However, nobody could figure out Elder Sayer’s thoughts and the
matter was dropped.”
