chapter 2191-2200
Chapter 2191
Heath kept staring at the huge monster beast. “Yes, we should, but looking at the size of it, it’s definitely
not an ordinary monster. It may be dangerous if we approach it rashly so let’s all be extra careful.”
Everyone nodded. In order to ensure their own safety, they came up with a n. Well, not really a n
but simply an agreement for those with the strongest cultivation to take the lead, and for the weakest to
follow behind. They would slowly approach the monster beast so that they could make their escape at
the first sign of danger. They would run as far as possible while making sure they stuck together in a
group.
Out of the five people, four of them were in the final stage of innate level. Heath was the strongest, and
not to mention he was from the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, so he would take the lead. Then, it would be
Byron and Edric in the second row, and then Frank and Jackie in the third row. Actually, with this
formation, it did not matter who was in the front, as long as they were stuck close to each other, if
anything should happen, they would all suffer the same fate.
Furrowing his brow and the two swords in his hands, Heath gradually moved closer to the giant monster
beast in a stance that would allow him to attack at a drop of the hat. His eyes never left the monster
beast once. The closer they got to the monster beast, the more clearly they could see the shape of it. It
looked something like a snake but not a snake. It had scales on its body and only one eye on its head,
which was tightly shut. What surprised them, even more, was that this monster had nine ws, which
wereid t on the ground, making the monster beast seem a sif it was asleep.
“I remember it now! I’ve read about this monster beast in one of the ancient books before,” said Edric
suddenly
They all turned to look at him in unison.

He did not keep them hanging as he continued to say, “This monster is a nine-wed python! Judging
from its size, it should have grown to adulthood, meaning to say that it should be at the final stage of
spring solidifying!”
Hearing this, they all stopped in their tracks at almost the same time. They looked at each other with
hesitation written all over their faces. The nine-wed python was not something they could handle even
with theirbined power. Their faces immediately darkened at the thought of them being wiped out by
the nine-wed python.
This nine-wed python was around 200 yards long and was as tall as a small hill. The five of them
would surely die instantaneously with one hit from its w should it go berserk. At that thought, they
started to make ns for retreat.
Heath coughed lightly, and said, “Not so fast. Don’t you all think that there’s something off about this
nine-wed python?”

“What do you mean? You can’t leave us hanging like that? If you have something to say, just say it,” said
Frank with a frown.
“Brother Heath, are you referring to the fact that we can’t sense any oppressive aura from the nine
wed python even though we’re only forty yards away from it? And the fact that it hasn’t moved at all
ever since weid eyes on it? As if it’s dead…?” asked Jackie.
Heath nodded heavily, with a trace of admiration in his eyes. “It’s just as Brother Jackie said. All the
powerful monster beasts would exude a powerful aura. Even at rest or slumber, the aura should be
noticeable. The only time the aura is not noticeable is when it deliberately hides it in order to stay hidden.
However, this is not the case as it chose to be out in the open for everyone to see.”
The powerful aura could also be called an imposing force. A strong cultivator would have an imposing
force around him, and a weak cultivator would invariably lose his presence if he was standing next to the
strong cultivator.
Chapter 2192
They were very close to the nine-wed python, around a hundred yards or so, but they still did not feel
any powerful aura emanating from the nine wed python. That actually made them even more nervous.
Coupled with the fact that the nine-wed python was motionless-it did not even seem like it was
breathing, so everyone agreed with Jackie’s guess.
Heath thought Jackie’s knowledge was extraordinary, even though his cultivation was not high. As soon
as he opened his mouth, Jackie knew what he wanted to say. “You’re very smart, Brother Jackie. That’s
exactly what I mean. This nine-wed python has not moved at all. Don’t you all find this very strange?
It’s as if…it’s not alive but…dead.”
Jackie nodded and looked at the nine-wed python In front of him. The nine-wed python did not
move from its position at all. He could not feel any aura, not even its breathing. Jackie frowned and said
with certainty, “I think this nine-wed python is dead.”
Bryan nodded too and said, “Brother Jackie is right, I also think so, but how did this nine-wed python
die here?”
Frank instantly felt ufortable when he heard both Heath and Byron’s generous praise of Jackie, and
the way they were looking at him with eyes filled with unconcealed admiration. After all, he did not make
the same conclusion as Jackie, and so was robbed of his limelight.

He scoffed and said, “Aren’t you all jumping to conclusions a little too fast? I don’t think this nine wed
python is dead. How could such a big monster beast die here? Why aren’t the other monster beasts
eating it if it’s really dead? How can the body still be intact?”
Jackie ignored Frank’s words; he did not even look at him. Instead, he looked at Heath and said, “Let’s
speed up our pace. No matter what, there is definitely something wrong with this nine-wed python.”
Heath nodded, also ignoring Frank’s words. He elerated his pace and rushed to the front, quickly
approaching the nine-wed python. Frank’s face flushed with anger, and he stomped his feet hard, not
knowing what to say when he saw all of them ignoring him.
After speeding up, it took them only five minutes to reach the nine-wed python. Its scales were shining
under the sunlight, and Jackie could even see mud mixed in with the scales. The five of them were so
close that nothing about the nine-wed python could escape their eyes.
Heath circled the giant nine-wed python and came to a definite conclusion. “It’s not breathing so It
should be dead. If it’s alive, it is impossible for it to not react to our presence here at all. Besides, there’s
a rotting smelling out from it.”
The others frowned in unison as soon as Heath said that, Byron approached thergest w, and stared
at it for a long time. Then he sighed and said, “I wonder how this big guy died, and why didn’t the other
monster beasts eat its corpse? Isn’t powerful monster beasts considered a kind of supplement for the
other monster beasts?”
Heath nodded. “You’re right. The rotting smell proves that this nine-wed python has been dead for a
while, and it is really strange that it is still intact here.”
Chapter 2193
Edric chuckled and said, “Actually, it’s not really that strange. After all, we are not outside. The world in
this Secret ce for Resources is very different from the outside world. Maybe the monster beasts here
don’t like to eat the corpses of other monster beasts.”
Heath and the others nodded, this exnation was barely passable. Jackie did not listen to their
discussion, but instead, he stood on tiptoe and looked at the nine-wed python from top to bottom.
He pushed the tip of his toes against the ground, activated his true energy, and took a flight to the air.
From above, he looked down at the nine-wed python. He was around a dozen yards in the air when
he saw a faint light shing under the head of the nine-wed python.
The light was so weak that it could be easily overlooked. He would have definitely missed it if it were not
for the fact that he was looking down from above. The corners of Jackie’s mouth curled up into a smile,
and he rushed toward where the light was emitting
The huge nine-wed python was coiled up like a mosquito coil, and the bottom of the python’s head
was where the light was emanating. He still clearly remembered that Heath once said the spirited grass
and spirited flower would go to whoever first discovered it. Therefore, there was no need to alert them to
it since he was the first who discovered the light.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth inched even higher as he rushed toward the light. However, as
soon as he was five or six yards away from the python’s head, he was knocked backward with a bang as
if he had hit a sheet of transparent ss.
His eyes widened in surprise. There was clearly nothing there, but it seemed like there was ayer of
tempered ss that could not be broken. He could not go past it at all! Themotion caused by him
attracted the attention of the other four.
They all stared at Jackie with surprise. Heath frowned and asked, “Brother Jackie, what just happened?
Was that an array you just ran into?”
Jackie’s eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed helplessly in his heart. He did not know what he had run
into but he knew for sure that his n had been foiled. He coughed lightly and pointed in the direction of
the python’s head. “There is light emitting from under the python’s head. I was on my way to checking it
out when I ran into something transparent.”
As soon as Jackie said that, the other four took flight into the air, and looked down on the nine-wed
python. Under the guidance of Jackie, they found the target. There was fluorescent light emitting from
the position of the python head, but because of the distance and the obstruction of the python head, they
could not see what was giving off the light.
However, being smart, they knew that it must definitely be something good even if it was not spirited
grass or spirited herb. In fact, it could be a master treasure since it emitted white light and was being
guarded by the nine-wed python.
Everyone’s eyes instantly lit up, and a surge went through their hearts. They had traveled across the hills
for so long, slew a few monster beasts, and collected a few spirited grass and spirited flowers, but all
these were nothing to crow about. At one nce, they knew the fluorescent light-emitting item must be
extraordinary,
Heath chuckled, turned his head, and looked at the other four with kind eyes. “I’m guessing the item to
be spirited grass. The grade of this spirited grass must be absolutely extraordinary if it’s guarded by such
a powerful monster beast. We can surely fetch a high price for it once we get our hands on it.”
Chapter 2194 Jackie saw a sh of greed in Heath’s eyes. He was the one who kept saying that the
spirited herb and spirited grass would belong to whoever first discovered it, but from the way he did not
mention it at all, it was clear he had forgotten about this ground rule.
Jackie was no fool. He was not about to let others take advantage of him. It was just that it would be
difficult for him to investigate the item with the transparent barrier in the way.
Frankughed mockingly and looked at Jackie with contempt. “I was wondering why you were rushing
here suddenly and now the cat’s out of the bag! You n to take everything for yourself!”
Jackie turned to face him abruptly. ‘Oh my god, he’s so annoying! Why does he keep on picking on me?’
“Did you knock yourself in the head? Have you forgotten the ground rules? That the spirited grass and
spirited flower belongs to whoever finds it? It’s only fair for me to harvest it since I was the one who found
it!” said Jackie unceremoniously.
Frank’s face darkened at his words. He did not expect Jackie to talk back to him. He was about to make
aeback at him when they all heard the sound of footstepsing from their surroundings. The five
of them were stunned for a moment, and they quickly descended from the air. After all, being in the air
was too conspicuous.
Afternding, Byron frowned. “It seems like someone discovered the nine-wed python too. Did you
just see where the people areing from?” he asked in a hasty tone.
They all shook their heads. They were all in a hurry to get out of the air space, and only took a nce
before doing that, but they found nothing. Afternding, they formed a nervous group and did not see
anything at all.
“We should have taken out the spirited core immediately after confirming the nine-wed python was no
threat!” said Heath nervously. His words were filled with regret. He med himself for not thinking of that
sooner. The nine-wed python was a spring-solidifying level monster beast; its spirited core could
definitely fetch a high price!
“Senior brother! It’s really dead!” said a sharp voice suddenly from a distance.
They all looked in the direction in unison, only to see that seven people had arrived, and they were less
than fifty yards away from them. They appeared so abruptly that Heath and the others were all stunned.
“Why are they so close to us all of a sudden? I didn’t see theming just now!” said Frank with
trembling lips.
The five of them were standing in front of the nine wed python before. They heard the footsteps but
saw no one, so they thought that the people wereing from the side or the back of the nine-wed
python. They never expected them to appear right in front of them.
However, when the five of them formed a circle, they did not find anyoneing from that direction at all.
If that sharp-voiced person had not suddenly spoken, they would not have realized anyone was in that
direction at all.
Jackie’s pupils trembled slightly. Their sudden appearances gave him a déjà vu feeling, just like the way
the two Olsen brothers appeared in front of them before they entered the Secret ce for Resources-
one second there was no one there, but the next they suddenly appeared in front of him.
There were seven people in total, all dressed in ck robes with skulls embroidered on their chests.
From this alone, they could tell the neers were from the Corpse Pavilion. Jackie knew more about
the Corpse Pavilion than the people around him because he had faced several groups of Corpse
Pavilion disciples in Mount Beasts.
Chapter 2915 “Master was right. There are really good things in this ce. The man standing at the front
said coldly.
As soon as this statement came out, the others were surprised but did not reveal it on their faces. Jackie,
however, quickly lowered down his head and hid behind Heath, as if he had been stabbed by a needle.
He did it all so discreetly that, all apart from Frank, did not notice him doing so. The only reason Frank
saw him was that he was standing behind Jackie all this while.
Frank sneered and gave Jackie a contemptuous look.” Well, well, it seems like someone had lost all of
his pluck. Why are you hiding behind Brother Heath? Don’t tell me you’re afraid of the Corpse Pavilion
disciples.”
The corners of Jackie’s lips twitched. He could not be bothered with Frank then; his priority was to make
sure his face stayed hidden because the person who was referred to as ‘Senior Brother’ was the masked
man he saw at Mount Beasts.
The masked man was still wearing a mask on his face, which was exactly the same as the one he saw
that day; even his voice was the same, so it must be the same person. What really surprised Jackie was
how could the masked man enter the Secret ce of Resources when he was clearly at the spring
solidifying level. It was against the rule for those beyond the final stage of innate level to enter.
He exhaled softly, threw away these distracting thoughts to the back of his mind for the time being, and
quickly took out amon-looking mask from the Mustard Seed Spirit Ship. Then, he hurriedly put It
over his face. Frank, who had been observing Jackie all this while, frowned thoughtfully.
Heath and the others did not care about the quarrel between the two of them. The three of them stood at
the forefront and were solemnly observing the seven Corpse Pavilion disciples who were directly
opposite of them. It would be five against seven if a fight was unavoidable, and all seven of their
opponents were at the final stage of innate level. As for the five of them, one of them was only an
intermediate stage of innate level, so they definitely would not be a match for them.
The Corpse Pavilion disciples could speak without a care in the world because they knew they had the
advantage of number and strength on their side, so there was no need to fear Heath and the others at
all. The corner of Heath’s lips twitched; he had a bad feeling about this.
The masked-man stepped forward and eyed Heath coldly. He did not notice Jackie at all. “Get lost or
die!” spat the masked man, the words mming down on Heath and the others, who all gasped at the
same time. The expressions on their faces were as if their fathers had died. This masked man was too
arrogant. He did not give them any face at all. It was either get lost or die!
Although Heath might seem gentle and talkative on the surface, he was also quite arrogant. He would
never take this kind of humiliation lying down. He clenched his right hand tightly and said, “I don’t have
any conflict with you and yet you disregard all the etiquettes. At any rate, the Corpse Pavilion is a fourth-
grade n association…”
The masked man cut in before Heath finished his sentence, “Stop spouting your bullsH*t nonsense to
me!
Chapter 2196 “You hypocrites only talk about etiquette and shame. Don’t tell me you’re just trying to save
your face by not getting lost. You obviously want to fight with us to get a piece of the pie!”
As soon as the masked man finished speaking, the bearded-man standing beside him burst out
laughing. “Every one of you cowards, is a hypocrite. It’s obvious you don’t want to give up the treasure
and just want to find some ‘righteous’ reason to justify yourselves! We are not hypocrites like you, and
you dare to fight us for treasure? Maybe you should take a good look at yourself in the mirror before
that!”
Heath’s face darkened. In all of his years of being alive, no one had ever humiliated him like this. He
angrily pointed at the bearded man and shouted, “We are not hypocrites. You’re the one who was
obviously in the wrong here and yet you use us of being hypocrites?”
Jackie curled the corners of his mouth helplessly. He could already tell from Heath’s tone that he was in
actual fact scared and was forcing himself to talk back to save his own face.
The bearded man roared withughter and swung his sky-opening ax to point at Heath’s face. “You
hypocrites like to y tricks, and we, the Corpse Pavilion, have always hated you, hypocrites, the most.
Hurry up and get lost if you know what’s good for you! Immediately disappear from my eyes. If not, we
will tear you into pieces and feed them to the dogs!”
These words were not polite at all. It was no different from scolding and pointing at a dog. Heath’s hands
trembled slightly, and a myriad of colors shed through his face like fireworks. The others’ expressions
were simr to his while Jackie’s expression was very calm from beginning to end. His eyes were fixed
on the masked man and he discovered that the cultivation of the masked man was in the final stage of
innate level. In other words, he had dropped a levelpared to before.
Then, he clearly saw that this masked-man was at the spring-solidifying level, and it was because of that
they had no choice but to escape, and even jumped off the broken heart cliff in desperation. However, at
this moment, the masked man was at the final stage of innate level. Jackie rolled his eyes and thought to
himself, Could it be that the masked man knocked down his cultivation in order to enter the Secret ce
of Resources? But if this is the case, the sacrifice is a bit too big. Or maybe there’s some kind of pill that
can temporarily suppress the cultivation base?
No matter what, this masked man must have gone through extra pains to enter the Secret ce of
Resources. It’s better to avoid an all-out conflict with them. Although this masked man has fallen a level,
he was once at the spring-solidifying level. Surely the martial art skills and techniques he practiced were
not what the four others could handle.
Jackie frowned, thinking how he should tell them what he knows and bring them to safety. It would be too
sudden if he left by himself. Worst, they might think that he wanted a spot in the limelight.
Byron’s face turned ck with anger. “You’ve overstepped the line!”
The masked man sneered and took a step or two forward. “Overstepped the line? Don’t you know that
this is a world where the strong eat the weak? Weaklings like you all deserve all the bullying you Get!”
This humiliated them even more. Heath’s face was about to explode in fury. He clenched his fists tightly.
If it were not for what little reason he had left, he would have brought out his weapon and engaged in an
all-out war with the seven Corpse Pavilion disciples.
The masked man suddenly flew into the air. Looking down from the air, he quickly found the thing that
they had discovered before that was suspected of being a precious spirited herb.
Chapter 2197 The masked man’s imposing aura was a little more restrained after hended on the
ground again. “Do I need to say it again? Either get lost or die. None of you five will survive if you stay
any longer!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he took another ten steps forward, and the imposing aura erupted from
his body. They could still feel the aura clearly even though they were dozens of yards away from him.
Heath involuntarily took a half-step back, but then he forced himself to gain back that half-step as if he
did not want to give the masked man the upper hand.
Edric’s brows creased tightly, and he swept his eyes across the Corpse Pavilion disciples. Then, he
looked at the members of his group and finally said,” Brother Heath, don’t be impulsive. You very well
know that none of the people in the Corpse Pavilion are easy to deal with. They don’t care about
etiquette and morality. By the looks of it, they’re hellbent on getting their hands on the spirited grass and
nine wed python spirited core. Let’s not fight with them and just leave…”
Heath’s face became even more frightening to look at when he heard that. Frank turned his head and
shouted like a cat whose tail had just been stepped on, “I say, Edric, why are you being such a coward?
We might not have the advantage of numbers but that doesn’t mean we have no chance of winning at
all! In any case, our ranks in the n association are quite high as well! Although the Corpse Pavilion is
also a fourth-grade n association, there is still a gap in power between the disciples. Who knows,
these guys might be the weakest among the fourth-grade n association!”
After being questioned, Edric’s expression became so scrunched up that water might drip from it. Jackie
arched his brow; he could imagine how badly Edric must have wanted to curse. It was obvious the
masked man and others heard Frank since he did not bother to lower his volume at all.
The masked man sneered and said nothing, but the two disciples nking him were not as calm as him.
Judging by their stance, they should be the masked man’s two most loyal and powerful junior brothers.
One of them was the bearded man who just spoke, and the other had not spoken from the beginning to
the end.
Jackie recognized him even though he did not say anything. His facial features, for the most part, were
average-looking. His eyes were as small as a mung bean. If going by the eyes alone, one would be
forgiven to think they belonged to a wild rat on the roadside.
The small-eyed man who had been silent before suddenly opened his mouth after hearing what Frank
said. “I have met a lot of people who like to brag in my years of being alive but you, my friend, take the
cake. Judging by what you are wearing, you should be a disciple of the Muddled Origin n of the third
grade n Association. I do wonder where did a third -grade n Association get so much courage to
speak such big words in front of a fourth-grade n Association?”
True to his personality, Frank did not back down but instead said, “It’s none of your business where I get
my courage from! What’s the use ofing from the fourth-grade n Association when the people
from there act so cowardly! I bet you’vemitted all the sins under heaven! If we are hypocrites, then
you’re worse than us!”
Chapter 2198
The seven Corpse Pavilion disciples’ faces were as ck as coal. Jackie stared speechlessly at Frank
and wondered if there was a screw loose in his head. It seemed as if he was willing to offend anyone as
long as he could show off his bravado.
Edric immediately put his hand on Frank’s shoulder and whispered, “Have you gone insane? There are
seven of them and look at what they’re wearing! All of them are from the Corpse Pavilion! While on our
site, all five of us are from different n associations, and not to mention Jackie is only an intermediate
stage of innate level! Don’t think we’re getting out of this alive if they’re hell-bent on killing us!”
“Can you not be such a coward? How can you ever earn anyone’s respect like this? Didn’t you hear how
they humiliated us just now? Are you just going to let them get away with it? You’re afraid of them, but I
am not, for I know I’m strong! Although the disciples of the fourth-grade n associations are powerful,
us Muddled n Origins disciples are not bad as well,” said Frank nonchntly.
N?velDrama.Org (C) content.
Everyone except Frank turned green after hearing that while Jackie nearly burst outughing. Wow, he
sure is confident. I wonder where he got it from…? Thought Jackie.
The masked man stared at Frank sinisterly. “It seems like you really want to die!”
The temperature in that area suddenly dropped to a freezing point, and no one said anything else for a
while. Heath’s face was as ck as charcoal, and his hands were still trembling slightly. The nine-wed
python was likely to have broken through to the divine-solidifying level and a spirited core of a monster
beast at that level could definitely be exchanged for a lot of wealth. He could then exchange all that
wealth for the pills and martial art skills. In addition, he suspected there was precious spirited grass
under the nine-wed python’s head. He was unwilling to let go of all this, but if he did not, the five of
them would surely fall at the hand of the masked man.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that although the five of them temporarily formed an alliance, it did not
mean that they would abide by the ‘fall for one, and one for all’ slogan. There was no way they could win
against the united Corpse Pavilion disciples, not to mention the tyrannical masked man. After thinking of
all that, he exhaled slowly.
Then, he looked sideways at Frank, who was still seething with anger, as if he had just experienced the
worst humiliation in his life. Heath felt that if they dawdled further, they would run the risk of Frank saying
something even more offensive. By then, it would be toote for them to escape.
Heath made up his mind. He turned around and said to the people behind him, “Let’s go, we are no
match for them.”
As soon as these words came out, Frank’s indignant face suddenly froze. He widened his eyes and
stared at Heath with disbelief as if he was questioning why they had to flee. “Brother Heath, are you
really afraid of them?! Even if we are no match for them, we can’t let them insult you like that. Listen to
what they said before. What will others say about us if we escape with our tails between our legs?!”
The more Frank said, the more agitated he became. He felt that his ego had been trampled to the
ground, and was red in the face. Seeing this made Jackie roll his eyes.
Chapter 2199
Heath’s face turned beet red. “So what if it spreads out, can it bepared to our safety? We are not
escaping with our tails between our legs, but knowing when to pull the plug. The five of us are no match
for the seven of them, so why should we risk our lives like that!”
Frank felt that Heath had misinterpreted his intention, and jumped around in frustration. “I never thought
that you would be such a coward! Of course, I know that we’re no match for them but it’s not like we
wouldn’t be able to knock out a few of them! Why should we let them humiliate us like this? I’m all for
leaving but we should leave in a way that we can be proud of!”
Heath’s expression became frightening to look at after being lectured by Frank. He never expected those
words toe out of Frank’s mouth. ‘What the hell does he mean by leaving in a way that we can be
proud of? Is he saying we should strut away after scolding them?
Jackie chuckled. It was his intention to not say anything, but he had greatly underestimated Frank’s
idiocy and had no choice but to break his silence. ? Brother Frank, what does it mean to leave in a way
we can be proud of? Do you mean that we should let the other party murder us after you’ve angered
them?”
Frank had never liked Jackie. At his words, his face turned red with anger while his eyes be
bloodshot. He whipped around and stared at Jackie vehemently. “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I
said just now? Even if they want to fight us, they have to weigh their losses! Yes, there might be seven of
them and only five of us but it’s not like we can’t knock out a few of their teeth! Do you think everyone is
the same as you? That they would not weigh the pros and cons? It’s because of that they still hadn’t
made a move against us! And that’s why I’m confident we’ll be fine!”
Upon hearing that, everyone pursed their lips speechlessly.
“It seems that your brain is really muddled. Who do you think are those people standing across from us?
Do you think the Corpse Pavilion disciples are benevolent people who would not do anything just
because of some stupid pros and cons?” said Jackie icily.
At this, Frank became so angry that he pointed at Jackie, and shouted, “You’re just doing this to rile me
up, aren’t you?”
“Do you think we have time to listen to your quarrel here? I’ll say it for thest time, either get lost or die!”
said the masked man sinisterly before Jackie could answer Frank. The masked man eyed the five of
them icily while the bearded man was bent overughing
“The masked boy behind you is absolutely right! You’re really muddled in the brain. Do you really think
we won’t take action toward you just because we’re afraid of getting our teeth knocked out?! Who do you
think you are? You might be someone in a third -grade n association, but in our eyes, you’re not even
a piece of sH*t!” said the bearded man.
Those words were like a torpedo sting away Frank’s self-esteem. His hands trembled slightly, and he
turned his head sharply to look at the masked man and the others. Heath frowned, knowing very well in
his heart that Frank was about to say something that would push them to the edge of no return.
Chapter 2200
The atmosphere was so tense that an all-out battle was on the verge of breaking out. Heath wanted
more than to get out of this in one piece; it would be a heavy loss on their side if the battle really broke
out. At this thought, he quickly reached out his hand and grabbed Frank’s arm, in a bid to stop him from
saying anything, so that they could hurriedly leave the ce.
However, Frank seemed to not notice him at all as he shouted at the Corpse Pavilion Disciples, “Don’t
you dare look down on a third-grade n association! Even a disciple from a third-grade n
association can y a bigger role than you can imagine! Just you wait! After I leave, I will make sure to
spread the news of a treasure here so that all the powerhouses woulde scrambling for it!”
Heath and the others could not help but tremble in their hearts as soon as the words were out of Frank’s
mouth, while the masked man’s eyes darkened in a second. What Frank said reminded him that there
was the chance that they would spread the news about the treasure after they left, and someone else
might just be brave enough to fight over the master treasures with them. In other words, letting them go
was as good as courting danger.
Heath’s face was no different than a ckened pot. He pointed one shaky finger at him and said, “Are…
are you crazy! Do you really want to die that much?!”
What Frank did undoubtedly sentenced the five of them to death. If Heath were the masked man, he
would never let the five of them leave! Both Edric and Byron’s expressions were as if their own mother
had died. Byron wanted more than nothing to p Frank there and then. He hade across stupid
people, but never someone as stupid as Frank.
“You bastard! Just stick out your own neck if you want to die that much! Why do you have to drag us
down with you?” shouted Byron at Frank.
Frank felt aggrieved by all their scoldings because he still did not think that he did anything wrong. Edric
rolled his eyes angrily as if he was unwilling to believe that he and Frank came from the same n
association.
Jackie was a little jittery too. He originally thought that Heath was a sensible person even though he was
a little greedy. Even so, he must have realized that they had no chance of winning, so it would be
meaningless to stay. In this case, it would be best if they all leave.
What they had all underestimated was how brainless Frank could be. Frank scoffed and said
nonchntly, “I have a backbone, unlike you guys! Who wants to be as spineless as all of you!”
Jackie took a deep breath and asked him a question he had been keeping in his heart, “I’m really curious
to know how you are alive today? You should have been beaten to death with that stupid brain of yours!”
Frank’s face darkened, he was about to shoot down Jackie’s verbal attack, but at that moment, the
masked man suddenly brought down his hand in the direction of them. The six Corpse Pavilion disciples
standing behind him rushed out, positioned themselves in a semi-circle, and approached the five of them
at an extremely fast speed.
Originally, the distance between the two groups was only a hundred yards, but in a blink of an eye, the
Corpse Pavilion disciples already had the five of them surrounded, blocking all of their escape paths.
Heath took a deep breath, in no mood to quarrel with Frank. The five of them quickly adjusted their
positions to be back-to-back against each other as they faced the six Corpse Pavilion disciples.
