chapter 2131-2135
Chapter 2131
Noel also felt that the atmosphere was too stagnant, and both Jackie and Wesley were on the brink of a
fight. He nced at Jackie with a slightly worried look in his eyes before he sneakily stretched out his
hand a tan area, unseen by the others, to pull Jackie’s clothes, all in an attempt to remind Jackie not get
too agitated from Wesley’s provocation
The corners of Jackie’s mouth curled upward. He knew what Noel meant by pulling on his clothes…but
he ignored it. Wesley was trembling with anger as he stared at Jackie resentfully. Compared to Wesley’s
furious expression, Jackie was extremely calm. Although he was arguing with Wesley when he said
those words, his expression remained stoic.
Wesley gritted his teeth as he spoke, “My brother will never let you off the hook; he’ll kill you!”
“What else can you do besides making threats?” responded Jackie calmly.
These words were like a big rock stuffed into Wesley’s throat, and Wesley felt that his interaction with
Jackie would only make his blood boil. His sensible nerves were at the brink of disappearing, too. His
eyes had reddened like red-colored ss beads, and they almost popped out of his sockets. At this
moment, their surroundings suddenly quieted down.
Everybody looked forward subconsciously and saw a dozen or so men in their fifties or sixties, in dark
blue robes, walking steadily toward the big round tform behind them. Such a scene caused everybody
to instantly hold their breath. Jackie immediately saw his old acquaintance. Elder Godfrey was at thest
position, but Jackie felt that he had the most overpowering aura.

However, he had a slightly cold expression on his face and did not look like he was the one getting ast
disciple today. These people were naturally the formal elders of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion. Although
they had different appearances, they had simr auras. They had the demeanor as men without losing
their majestic temperament as elders.
After all 11 of them went on top of thest tform, they sat down from east to west ording to the
order of their strengths. At this moment, Wesley did not dare act so irate, even though his anger red
still.
With that, he turned around and red at Jackie fiercely. Wesley lowered his voice and hissed, “You just
wait and see!”
Wesley then walked a couple of steps forward to keep some distance between himself and Jackie.
Jackie sighed lightly, finally no longer having to be interacting with this disgusting fly. Noel and Brook let
out a long sigh of relief when they saw how Wesley turned around to leave. Brook slowly spoke as he
ced his hands on his chest and a tangled expression appeared on his face, “You both were talking so
sharply at one another that I thought you’d break out into another fight.”

Noel also chimed in, “You two met squarely in the argument, and it felt like you’ve reached the point
where only death would stop the argument.”
Jackie raised his brows and said disapprovingly,” Naturally, the argument will only end when one of us
dies. People like Wesley will never stop once somebody offends him. He’ll only cease to do anything
when I manage to trample him under my feet.”
Brook sighed helplessly. “Actually, I wish to persuade you now as it’s better to take a step back.
However, I feel that masters like you have your own persistence and arrogance. It’ll be useless no matter
what I say.”
Jackie raised his brows. “This has nothing to do with my inner persistence and arrogance. I’m not the
one who caused him trouble. My principle has always been that I won’t offend anybody if they leave me
alone. Why should I spoil him?”
Chapter 2132
Jackie’s tone was extremely calm when he said this. It sounded like he was simply telling Brook what he
wanted to eat and drink. However, every word he said showed his temperament. Brook could not help
but look at Jackie deeply, not knowing how to respond.
Jackie was in no mood to think of their opinion toward him at this moment. Instead, he ced all his
attention at the tform behind.
All 11 elders had been seated, and Jackie silently observed the core power of the Dual Sovereign
Pavilion. No matter how many disciples there were in the sect, the people who truly supported the Dual
Sovereign Pavilion were still these people, who were the strongest among all.
The person seated at the first position was, of course, the First Elder. He looked at the disciples below
the tform with a kind look in his eyes and a smile on his young-looking face. Compared to the First
Elder, the Second Elder had a strict expression on his face as there was a calctive look in his eyes.
He looked at the disciples under the tform indifferently.
All the other elders had their own specialties, but all of them seemed to have an overbearing
temperament. In the end, Jackie focused his line of sight at the Eleventh Elder, Elder Godfrey. He looked
the same, but his eyescked anger and suspicions. Only indifference and calmness remained in his
eyes as he seemed to be uninterested in anything.

At this moment, almost all the disciples were observing the formal elders on the tform, like what
Jackie did. Although other disciples knew more about the formal disciplespared to Jackie, they still
could not help but observe the elders as if they wanted to observe something from these people.
Jackie raised his brows and asked in a low voice, “Why is the sect master nowhere to be seen?”
Although the elders were the core power of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion, the sect master was the person
in power and the decision-maker who issued the orders. Why did the sect master not show himself when
all eleven elders were gathered here?
Noel slightly shook his head. “We have no idea about this. In fact, the process of getting a disciple today
means nothing much to the sect master. After all, the Eleventh Elder is in the eleventh ce, and he
hasn’t grown strong. The sect master may not pay much attention to this. On top of that, our sect master
has always been extremely mysterious. I’ve only seen him once after joining the sect for such a long
period.”
To this, Jackie no longer questioned it. Nheless, his curiosity toward the Dual Sovereign Pavilion
Master grew.
The First Elder stood up as he felt that the timing was correct when he saw that the disciples had quieted
down. Although the First and Second Elders kept fighting among themselves, the First Elder was still in
the first position. He was the leader of all the elders, and he was the one to make any announcements at
such moments.
He stood up straight and walked three steps forward at a steady pace. He still had a gentle look in his
eyes, but the expression on his face had turned into a dignified one. He slightly cleared his throat before
he spoke, “Originally, there’s no need to alert so many people when an elder is just taking disciples.
However, there’s something else we need to announce to all you disciples, so we gathered everybody
here.”
The First Elder’s words puzzled everyone. The disciples only thought that they were gathered for one
reason, and that was to witness who would be the Eleventh Elder’sst disciple. Unexpectedly, there
was something else they wished to announce.
Jackie also raised his brows. When Noel informed him of this matter, Jackie was surprised about the
reason to involve so many people when it was just the eptance of ast disciple. It looked like he had
been making silly assumptions about the elders’ thoughts as they had their own ns.
The First Elder waved his hands to stop the disciples from their discussion, and the disciples continued
to listen to the Elder’s announcement.
Chapter 2133 The Elder spoke loudly, “Several days ago, the elder of the Thousand Leaves Pavilion
visited us and told us something extremely important. I’m sure everybody knows that our West Cercei
State only has two fourth -grade sects. One of us is located in the North while the other is in the South,
and we do not interfere with one another. Recently, the upper management of the Thousand Leaves
Pavilion received news that the Corpse Pavilion in the South had secretly transported arge number of
disciples over to the North. We’re sure that this isn’t good news. Hence, everybody needs to get
themselves ready during this period.”
The news was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. This was the first time everybody heard about
this, and their eyes were widened. Originally, no one dared to discuss anything as the elders were
present. However, none of them could suppress themselves when they heard the news, and chatters
erupted in the area.
“What? The Corpse Pavilion ising to the North to cause us trouble again? We’ve been in a peaceful
state all these years. What do they wish to do here?”
“They must’ve gone crazy. Although the Corpse Pavilion is also a fourth-grade sect, the Thousand
Leaves Pavilion at our northern side is also a fourth-grade sect. Both sects have equal strengths, and
we’re separated by the Mount Beasts. Isn’t it good for us to continue developing without interfering with
one another?”
“Do they have other ns in mind?”
“No matter what, this news must be true as the First Elder announced it in front of so many of us here.
We might go to war next. I’ve been too optimistic to think that we won’t be going to war soon after the
matters regarding the Muddled Origin n have been ced aside.”
Some of the slightly smarter people immediately recalled the unexinable actions by the sect. Some of
them pped their thighs and said, “No wonder our sect still recruited a new batch of informal disciples
after the Thousand Leaves Pavilion stopped the war. This is the reason, it seems
All sorts of discussion noises hummed continuously by their ears like a hundred flies. Among all the
disciples, Jackie was the only one who had the most information about the matter. After all, he had
personally traveled to Mount Beasts, and he also knew what the Corpse Pavilion’s disciples wanted to
do. On top of that, he also had information about the Dual Sovereign Pavilion and Thousand Leaves
Pavilion’s ns as he heard Elder Godfrey’s spections.
The sounds of discussion under the stage grew louder, but the First Elder had no intention of stopping
the disciples. He only looked at the disciples with a kind look in his eyes and a smile on his face.
Jackie slightly raised his brows. The more the First Elder acted in such a way, the more Jackie felt that
this old man was a cunning character with unknown ns. After a little whileter, the First Elder
interrupted the crowd’s discussion by speaking again, “I know that everyone wille up with their own
ns after receiving this news. However, I will remind everybody now that it doesn’t matter what your
ns are, as the most important thing is what the sect wants you to do. The situation isn’t so bad yet,
and everybody can continue to carry out your tasks in peace. I’ll immediately notify everybody if there are
any arrangements.”
Such words did notfort everyone. Instead, it only agitated them more. Nheless, nobody dared
step forward to say anything. After all, they had to step forward and service the sect after enjoying so
many years of grooming by the Dual Sovereign Pavilion as the sect’s disciples.
The First Elder nced at the Eleventh Elder, who was seated at the fat west corner. He mentally scoffed
when he saw how calm and unwavering the Eleventh Elder was. However, nothing was seen on his face.
“Alright! The discussion about this shall end here as there’s something else that we need to announce
tonight.”
Chapter 2134 The First Elder slightly moved his body to the side after he said this and looked toward
Elder Godfrey.
Elder Godfrey, of course, could feel the First Elder’s line of gaze that seemed kind. There still was not
much of an expression on his face as he stood up stiffly from his seat and walked toward the central part.
He did not stand in front of the First Elder when he arrived behind the First Elder. Instead, he stopped
about three steps away from the First Elder.
He then signaled for the First Elder to continue speaking of this matter. Everybody knew that the main
agenda had started when they saw the Eleventh Elder stepping forward. Although the previous news
caused everybody to be uneasy, no one forgot about the reason they had gathered on this spot.
The First Elder slightly nodded. “I’m sure everyone knows that the Eleventh Elder wishes to recruit ast
disciple, and today is the day he’ll announce his choice. However, I’ve alsomunicated with the
Eleventh Elder before this, and the Eleventh Elder doesn’t know much about our outstanding disciples as
he’s so focused on training during normal days. Hence, we’ve gathered all the disciples here today with
hopes of choosing the most excellent disciple among you as thest disciple.”
The First Elder spoke of how they would choose the most excellent disciples among them, but in truth,
he only meant the formal disciples. The informal disciples were there just to make up the number.
After the First Elder finished speaking, he looked toward where the formal disciples were at, focusing on
looking at Oliver and Calvert. He was about to continue speaking when the Second Elder, who had been
silently sitting on the second chair, suddenly stood up, much to everyone’s surprise.
The First Elder’s expression stiffened as he looked at the Second Elder with a slightly unhappy look in
his eyes. However, he did not say a word because of his manners. In fact, the First Elder had anticipated
that the Second Elder would step forward at this moment.
The Second Elder also took two steps forward, and rather expressionless at that. However, he did not
stand three steps behind the First Elder like what the Eleventh Elder did. Instead, he stepped forward
and stood by the First Elder’s side.
He did not look at the First Elder’s expression and instead turned his gaze toward the disciples present.
Everybody thought that the Second Elder would say something as he stood forward at this moment.
However, the Second Elder remained silent. He acted as if his sudden movement was just a random act.
The First Elder secretly rolled his eyes. The others might not understand what the Second Elder meant,
but he understood what the Second Elder wanted. His eyesnded on Gresham unwillingly and exhaled
deeply. “Although the Eleventh Elder has no idea how many excellent disciples there are, we’ve been
paying attention to the outstanding disciples in the sect while we’re training. Right now, we happen to
have three outstanding disciples.”
He looked toward the direction of the formal disciples before he continued to speak. “Oliver Sayer,
Calvert Atkins, and Gresham Potter, pleasee forward.”
After that, three people among the formal disciples came walking out of their teams. The three of them
were tall, handsome, and were definitely people of outstanding talent.
The first person walking in front of everybody else looked slightly simr to Wesley, and there was no
doubt that he was Wesley’s elder brother, Oliver. However, Oliver seemed to have better manners than
Wesley.
The three of them strode forward and stood in front of everyone, and everyone stared at the three.
Even though thousands of pairs of eyes stared at them, however, the three of them kept their
composure, and nothing else happened.
The man with a mustache standing in front of Jackie could not help but scoff coldly. “Just like what you
said, they’ve already predetermined their choices. If so, why did they make it sound like all the disciples
of our sect are given the choice when they initially mentioned the matter? I’m sure that many people had
been looking forward to this for a couple of days, and none of them realized that the group of people had
been predetermined. This is really…”
The long-faced man standing beside him chimed aloofly, “Although they’ve already predetermined their
choices, they still have to go through the process.”
Chapter 2135
The informal disciples surrounding Jackie had unnatural expressions when they heard this. They must
be thinking of how hypocritical these formal elders were. Jackie was not surprised by this as no matter
how he interpreted these three people, they were the most suitable choice.
The First Elder looked at those three under the tform with an extremely genial look in his eyes as if
these were his grandsons.

The First Elder spoke in a gentle tone, “The three of you are extremely talented and are extremely
suitable to be the Eleventh Elder’sst disciples, seeing as none of you are elder disciples of other
elders. However, it doesn’t matter how suitable the three of you are, as there’s only one avability. This
is why you three need topletely show your talents and strength today to catch the Eleventh Elder’s
attention.”
What the First Elder had said immediately caused the disciples gathered under the tform to have
another heated discussion.
Noel said softly, “Regardless, they still have to go through a fight in the end, and the results will be
decided with their strength.”
Just like what the First Elder said, the three of them were suitable in every aspect, but there was only
one position. Hence, they still had to battle to fight for the position, and the most excellent disciple would
be the Eleventh Elder’sst disciple.
The Eleventh Elder raised his brows after he heard this, and it looked like he wanted to say something,
but the First Elder paid no mind to the Eleventh Elder. At this moment, his attention was focused on
those three formal disciples standing under the tform.
He still had a gentle expression on his face as he said, “The battle tform in front will be where you
three shall show your talents and strength. The three of you shall take turns in joining the battle, and
those with the most wins will be the most talented disciple.”
The disciples gathered below started getting excited after the First Elder finished speaking. It was a
meaningful thing for the disciples to witness a great battle. They would be able to learn battle techniques
on top of increasing their experience just by witnessing a battle between disciples with great talents.
However, Gresham, who had been extremely quiet, suddenly knelt on one knee. “First Elder! I think that
it’s unfair if only the three of us are fighting in a single battle!”
Gresham had spoken clearly and loudly, thus everyone could hear him. His words had effectively
stunned them, and they stared at Gresham with widened eyes. They secretly admired Gresham for being
so daring as what he said was equal to refuting the First Elder’s face on the spot. He was saying that the
First Elder was unfair for arranging these battles.
Of course, the First Elder’s expression darkened, and he looked at Gresham sharply. “Unfair? How is this
unfair?”
Gresham had been kneeling on the floor with his head down all the time. However, there was not much
respect in the tone as he spoke, “Although Oliver is also a formal disciple, he’s much stronger than the
two of us. On top of that, he’s already in the final stage of the innate level while myself and Calvert are
only in the intermediate stage of the innate level. It’s unfair that we have to fight him from a lower realm.”
What Gresham had said darkened the First Elder’s expression. He was about to reprimand Gresham
when the Second Elder, who had been standing aside without saying a word, suddenly spoke up,”
Gresham is right. It’s unfair for them to fight like this.”
There was instantly a tit-for-tat momentum at the gathering spot.
Although Brook had joined the Dual Sovereign Pavilion for several years, he had always been a runner
disciple and had never seen such big scenes. At this moment, however, he was amazed by what he saw
as the First Elder and Second Elder seemed to be getting into a fight in front of all the disciples. He
looked toward Gresham and could not help butmented, “Gresham is so daring. How could he say
something like this? Isn’t he afraid that the First Elder will cause him troubleter on?”
Noel smiled when he heard what Brook said. “I would’ve said the same thing if I’m Gresham.”
