chapter 2211-2220
Chapter 2211
Jackie could vaguely see something shing on top of the slope.
“Another one came!” said someone.
Jackie turned his head and saw a group of people standing around. Fortunately, the ce was wide
enough. It was wider than the square in front of the gathering spot for roll call in the Dual Sovereign
Pavilion. He estimated the ce could fit at least ten thousand people.
His hands were trembling slightly. Everything happened so suddenly that Jackie could not process it.
One second ago, he was in a life-or-death situation and was prepared to die, but the next second, he
found himself in an unfamiliar ce with unfamiliar faces standing all around him.
Although the people there were dressed differently, Jackie could guess from his general understanding of
West Cercie State that some of the people were from the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, Muddled Origin
n, and Dual Sovereign Pavilion. There was a group of people who he could not put his finger on at
first nce, but after careful study, he recognized them to be a n association under the Corpse
Pavilion.
Jackie did a rough calction in his mind and estimated that there were more than a hundred people
present which was about the total number of people who had entered the Secret ce for Resources. In
other words, the people who entered the Secret ce for Resources were gathered there.

A series of muffled noises sounded again causing Jackie to look in the direction it wasing from.
There, he saw several people had fallen from mid-air into the open ground just like him. Their faces were
dazed, not knowing how they got there.
“What is this ce? Why are there so many people here! Brother Calum, why are you here?”
“Where else should I be? Can’t you see that all the people who had entered the Secret ce for
Resources are gathered here?!”
The neers were brought up to date about their situation after a brief chat with someone they knew.
Jackie breathed out deeply and instinctively went to find a remote ce to avoid being in contact with
anyone there. However, before he could do that, he heard the sound of sobbing.

“Third Brother, what happened to you? How did you get all those injuries?”
Thirteenth Brother, wake up! We’re safe now! Please wake up…”
Jackie turned in the direction of the noise and saw two seriously injured people lying unconscious on the
ground. The one who was addressed as Thirteenth Brother was pale and lifeless; he was most likely
dead since his chest was still.
So even corpses get moved here,’ thought Jackie. He frowned, and subconsciously looked for the
masked man.
The masked man who was standing fifty, sixty yards away from Jackie was staring daggers at him with a
pair of gloomy eyes. The corners of Jackie’s mouth twitched; he was secretly d that the gray energy
came in time. Otherwise, he might be the one lying dead on the ground. Fortunately for him, it would be
difficult for the masked man to make any move toward him when there were so many people there.
Chapter 2212
‘What should I do now? Why is everyone here? The only person who possessed the ability to bring us all
here should be the master of the Secret ces for Resources. Just exactly what is he nning to do?’
Suddenly, Elder Godfrey’s words shed through Jackie’s mind.
The Secret ces for Resources was very likely to be a ce of inheritance left by a powerful
predecessor. The reason why he left the ce was to find the person he could pass his mantle to. Could
it be that Elder Godfrey had guessed correctly?
Suddenly, an old voice with unrivaled force exploded In everyone’s ears. “All teleportation caves are
closed! If you want to go back, you must find the exit yourself. I would give you all a hint- the ce where
you enter the Divine Void Slope is where you can leave!”
The hint confused them though they could somewhat guess the general meaning. All the teleportation
caves had been closed? What exactly are those anyways? Are they simr to the space cave they used
to enter the Secret ces for Resources? If all the space caves were closed then it would mean that
they could not go back, and if they wanted to go back, they had to find the Divine Void Slope? What the
heck was the Divine Void Slope?

The announcement was like a bomb, kicking up an explosion of uproar that filled Jackie’s ears.
“The teleportation cave is probably the space cave that we used to enter the Secret ces for
Resources. We won’t be able to go out if it’s really closed.”
“Didn’t you hear what the voice said? That we can go back by other means even when the teleportation
portal is closed. The ce where we enter Divine Void Slopes is the ce where we can go back!”
“Where is the Divine Void Slope? Why have I never heard of it? Is it a secret ce in the Secret ces
for Resources?”
“I don’t know! All I know is it’s impossible for us to get out through the space cave!”
“Do you think we’ll be locked up here till the day we die?!”
“I hope not…”
The discussions were endless. Everyone was worried. Would they be trapped there forever? Why was
the teleportation cave closed? What was the main purpose of closing the teleportation cave? All those
questions took hold of Jackie’s attention. He was also very curious as to the reason why the space cave
must be closed. Could it be that there was a sinister plot going on that they did not know of?
The old voice did not give everyone much time to discuss before it continued calmly, “In front of you is
the Divine Void Slope which measures three thousand feet, and your current position puts you at the foot
of the Divine Void Slope! The Divine Void Slope will open after two hours, and all of you must climb up
the slope. You wille across a Divine Void Warrior every three hundred feet, of which you must defeat
to be able to continue your journey. You will have to defeat a total of nine Divine Void Warriors, and only
the one who has reached the top will receive the rich reward the Divine Void Slope has prepared for
you.”
Chapter 2213
The old voice suddenly paused.
Everyone became immensely excited at the mention of a reward. The way they were staring at the peak
of the Divine Void Slope was as if the reward woulde flying down at them if they stared hard
enough. The glowing items that Jackie saw before must be the reward the old voice mentioned.
Undoubtedly, the items must be of astronomical value since they were left behind by the master of the
Secret ce for Resources.
The old voice seemed to like to whet the appetite of everyone as he continued slowly, “There are too
many rewards, I won’t exin them one by one, but I will mention a few of the moremon ones.
There are Ten Thousand Soul Pill, an eighth-rank spirited pill, Heaven Aroma Fruit, and Hundred Soul
Grass, both of them seventh-grade spirited grass, and five spirited cores of the monsters in the divine
solidifying level!”
There was an uproar as soon as the final word came out. Everyone’s eyes widened with excitement, and
they had to wipe the drool off their mouth, while their greedy eyes were fixed at the top of Divine Void
Slope. They would be swimming in contribution points if they sell off all the rewards.
Even an elder would be fighting over an eighth grade pill; that was just how precious it was. The eyes of
the people there became bloodshot, while some of the others’ breathing became haggard. Most of the
people there were very confident in their own power, and felt that they could be the first to get to the top!
Jackie, however, was much calmer, because he had other things on his mind. ‘Is it a coincidence that
this slope in front of me is named the Divine Void Slope?’ Aftering to the West Cersie State, he
discovered a lot of things were actually rted to the Divine Void World, and now he would have to climb
the Divine Void Slop and fight the phantom of the Divine Void Warriors.
Everything was too coincidental for his liking, and if it was not a coincidence, then it would mean that the
Secret ce for Resources was inextricably linked with the Divine Void World. He suddenly recalled the
scene at the Cliff of Sorrows-the Ten Absolutes trap array that should not have appeared in this world,
and the corpse engraved with runes outside the trap array. All these various signs pointed to the fact that
the West Cercie State was definitely rted to the Divine Void World during ancient times.
“Don’t get too happy too soon! After climbing the Divine Void Slope, the martial arts skills that you use
your internal energy to activate will be suppressed to a certain extent,” said the old voice.
Everyone felt like that was a hidden meaning behind the words, and they began to mull it over. Jackie’s
eyes widened instantly, and a thought shed in his mind, but he was not sure whether it was true.
The old voice continued, “I’ll give you two hours to rest. The Divine Void Slop will open after two hours!
Remember, everyone will fight against nine Divine Void Warriors every three hundred feet you climb!”
After saying this, the old voice fell silent, as if it had never appeared. Everyone would have two hours of
rest. Most of them did not need the time to rest since they had not consumed any energy in the time they
were there. Instead, they spent their time discussing topics such as climbing the Divine Void Slope, who
the old voice belonged to, what was the purpose of setting up the Divine Void Slope, and what would be
the best reward at the top.
Jackie furrowed his brows. He walked over to the Divine Void Slope and looked to the top.
Chapter 2214 As the Divine Void Slope was covered by a thinyer of mist, he was unable to identify
what the slope was made out of. As his thoughts were focused on this, he heard a clear voice suddenly
coming up by his ears.” You must be Junior Brother Jackie?”
Jackie suddenly turned his head around and saw a handsome man dressed in Dual Sovereign Pavilion
clothes standing behind him. The man was looking at Jackie with kind eyes. After some self-introduction,
Jackie learned that this person was a chosen disciple of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion, Nelson Lester.
Nelson looked much stronger than Griffin.
He pointed to a ce 100 yards behind him. “All the Dual Sovereign Pavilion disciples are gathering over
there. Why don’t you join us there?”
Jackie nodded. As a disciple of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion, he might be bullied by others if he did not
join the team. In order to prevent himself from getting into these troubles, he followed Nelson to the
gathering spot of the disciples from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion. Nelson was in fourth ce among the
chosen disciples and was the strongest disciple in the Dual Sovereign Pavilion sent into the Secret ce
for Resources. Jackie also asked around for Griffin’s information and learned that Griffin was in ninth
ce. This meant that he was in thest ce among the chosen disciples.
When all the people were brought to the Divine Void Slope by the grayish power, many of them had
already entered the Secret ce for Resources for many days. They had already encountered many
dangerous situations. The danger included monster beasts and other people. Apart from the Dual
Sovereign Pavilion, all the other sects had suffered some losses. However, the disciples of the Dual
Sovereign Pavilion werepletely intact and none of them were wounded.
After Jackie was led to the gathering spot of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion, everybody looked at him with a
weird look in their eyes. After all, they were not familiar with Jackie as he had just joined the sect
recently. Before he became Elder Godfrey’sst disciple, he was just an informal disciple. Compared to
Jackie, they had a closer rtionship with one another. After all, they had been by each other’s side
since the beginning
The people Jackie was most familiar with were the Olsen brothers. However, the two of them had a
strained rtionship with Jackie.
“I thought that I won’t see you here but it looks like you’re really lucky. You weren’t killed by anybody or
swallowed by monster beasts with your intermediate stage innate level fighting prowess.” Griffin said
enigmatically.
When he started speaking, the other Dual Sovereign Pavilion disciples looked over at them and their
eyes were flickering between Jackie and Griffin. Many of them were wondering how the two of them, who
had nothing to do with one another, became enemies.
The corners of Jackie’s mouth twitched. He knew that Griffin would not let him off easy and would
definitely say something nasty when they bump into one another. However, Jackie was not somebody
who would allow others to step over him. Griffin had been continuously causing him trouble and the
situation would only intensify if Jackie did not fight back.
Jackie chuckled and said calmly, “Same to you.”
Griffin was stunned and it looked like he had suffered several ps to his face when he heard what they
said.
Griffin was so angry that his face darkened. “B* stard! How dare you!”
Jackie looked at Griffin coldly. “What did I say that deserves suchments from you? I only said that I
feel the same. Am I not allowed to fight back when you’re allowed to insult me?”
Chapter 2215 Griffin waved his sleeves. If nobody was standing in front of him, he would have rushed
forward to grab Jackie’s cor and p him twice. “Do you think that I will not take action against you
when you’ve gone against me several times?! Even if you’re under Elder Godfrey’s protection, you’re
nothing to us, the chosen disciples. I can easily kill you if I wish to do so!”
Griffin spoke while gritting his teeth and it sounded like he was about to swallow Jackie. Jackie chuckled
coldly. Griffin was really dumb. How could he say something like that? Killing n brothers was a serious
crime and the offender would be severely punished no matter where this happened. However, Griffin
brought this matter up without holding back.
Certainly, Nelson’s facial expression darkened when he heard what Griffin said. He suddenly turned
around and spoke fiercely, “Junior Brother Griffin, please pay attention to what you say! How can you
mention killing your n brothers without any restrain!
If there are any disagreements between you and Junior Brother Jackie, you can just talk it out! How can
you fight or kill your n brothers when we’re in the Secret ce for Resources?!”
The upper management of sects encouraged fights between their disciples as the intense fight can
improve the disciples’ fighting prowess. However, killing one another outside of the sect was
unforgivable!
Griffin seemed to be incredibly afraid of Nelson. The corners of his mouth twitched and he rolled his eyes
at Nelson before looking over at Jackie. “Senior Brother Nelson is right but I’m furious with him. This guy
has been causing me trouble so I said this in a hurry.”
Jackie raised his eyebrows. This guy was really good at Misrepresenting the facts. He was the one that
caused Jackie trouble but he made it sound like Jackie was the one who constantly caused him trouble.
If this happened to somebody else, they might not say anything to defend themselves as the matter
could b e forgotten soon. However, Jackie was unwilling to put up with it.
He turned around and looked straight at Griffin.” Senior Brother Griffin, you’re wrong as you were the one
who constantly caused me trouble. Why do you sound like I was the one causing you trouble? I said
nothing when I walked over but you insulted me sarcastically. Is that me causing you trouble? Did I pinch
your mouth and make you say what you said? I only refuted you by saying that I feel the same about you
and you exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on!”
All the disciples from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion looked at Jackie in surprise. They had never expected
that Jackie would speak so straightforwardly. The people surrounding them immediately looked over a s
they were interested in what was happening. It looked like things were not going to end well today. Griffin
was so angry that his facial expression darkened while his hands were slightly trembling.” You must be
suicidal!”
Jackie sneered. “Senior Brother Griffin, you’re overreacting. I’m never suicidal but I won’t stop anybody if
they wish to kill themselves bying to me!
Nelson frowned and nced at Jackie helplessly. Unexpectedly, Jackie was not somebody who would let
this go easily. He raised his hand to stop Jackie. “The two of you should stop fighting. You’re n
brothers and we’re in a public ce. If the two of you refuse to stop, I will report your actions to the head
of the sect. By then, you will be the ones to suffer the consequences.”
Griffin stopped speaking when he heard what Nelson said. However, he was so furious by what Jackie
had said. Although he had stopped speaking, he red at Jackie so fiercely as if he wanted to bite a
piece of meat off Jackie’s body.
Chapter 2216 Jackie t-out ignored Griffin’s gaze, turning and refusing to look at him before walking two
steps forward to be at the edge of where the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s disciples were gathered. He had
zero desire to meddle with these people and only wanted to peacefully wait for the Divine Void Slope To
be activated. The interlude had cast a gloomy mood among the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s disciples.
Brook, the best among the formal disciples, nced at Jackie before he turned and smiled at the others.”
What does the sound we hear mean when it says that any of our martial skills that involve true energy
will be suppressed?”
The crowd naturally joined the conversation when Brook changed the topic. Griffin’s brother, Howard,
remarked, “I think that it’s quite simple. The voice is telling us that once we step on the Divine Void
Slope, the martial skill we perform will be suppressed! This means that we’ll face certain resistance when
fighting the Divine Void Warrior.”
Nelson chuckled and shook his head. “If that’s the case, he could’ve mentioned that we’ll be suppressed
once we climb up the Divine Void Slope. Why did he mention that the martial skills that require the
activation of our true energy will be suppressed? It’s in to see that there’s some hidden agenda in
what they’ve said.”
Jackie raised his brows when he heard their discussion. He was even more confident with the idea that
appeared in his head. If he was right, the Divine Void Slope was no doubt rted to the Divine Void
World. Since it was rted to the Divine Void World, then he…
As he was thinking about it, Jackie heard footsteps approaching him. He turned around and saw five to
six people approaching the gathering spots of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s disciples. From the attire of
these people, he knew that these people were from the Muddled Origin n. All the disciples from the
north knew about the issues between the Muddled Origin n and Dual Sovereign Pavilion. Even
disciples from the south had heard of the bad rtionship between both sects.
The surrounding people red at the disciples from the Muddled Origin n when they approached the
gathering spot of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s disciples. The person standing in front seemed to be one
of the leaders. He looked like a handsome young master as he was tall and good-looking. However, he
had an extremely serious expression on his face.
Jackie was very familiar with the person standing behind the leader. It was the Muddled Origin n’s
disciple who allied with him, Edric Law!
Edric seemed to be in bad shape. His right hand waspletely bandaged, and he was limping. The left
side of his face was swollen, and he was obviously wounded
After Frank died, Jackie had turned to escape. He ran as the masked man chased after him and was
unable to pay attention to the others.
Jackie had no idea what Edric and the others faced after he left. However, from the looks of the wounds
on Edric’s body, Jackie knew that they were unable to resist the attack and were wounded by the
disciples from the Corpse Pavilion.
Edric took a nce at the people from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion before finally looking at Jackie.”
There’s Jackie White!” said Edric as he pointed at Jackie.
Jackie frowned and wondered what he meant when he said this. Theo Garfield narrowed his eyes as he
sized Jackie up. He then nced at Nelson and greeted Nelson.
Nelson responded by nodding with a smile on his face. He knew that this person was here with unkind
intentions.
After all, it was impossible that the other party was here to greet him as their sect and the Muddled Origin
n had many issues. On top of that, they did not know each other well. However, he still had to make
the necessary introductions.
Nelson chuckled and pointed at the man leading the Muddled Origin n’s disciples. “This is the chosen
disciple of the Muddled Origin n, Theo Garfield.”
Chapter 2217 Nelson nced at Jackie in confusion before he spoke, “I wonder what business you have
by visiting us here.
Theo sneered coldly, knowing he had said nothing offensive at all. Instead, he looked at Jackie and said,”
Junior Brother Jackie, do you know that our Junior Brother Frank has perished?”
Jackie mentally smirked. He initially assumed that they were here for something else, but it seemed that
it was only regarding Frank’s death. Jackie thus nodded without hesitation. “I know, and I saw him die
with my own eyes, but what does this have to do with me? It wasn’t me who killed him.”
Edric looked like he wanted to say something but immediately stopped himself.
Theo scoffed at this. “You’re wrong. Nobody saw how Junior Brother Frank died, and you were the one
nearest to him when it happened. On top of that, you two had bad blood with one another, and no one
will believe you if you say that his death had nothing to do with you.”
Jackie’s expression turned cold when he heard what Theo said. What did he mean by that? They were
trying to me this on him! Jackie knew how Frank died as Frank was the one who put himself into all
that trouble. Why was Jackie med when all he did was make sure Frank got what he wanted?
Jackie sneered and slightly raised his voice in response, “Senior Brother Theo, your remark is quite
absurd. What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that I was the one who killed Frank? Didn’t
your n brothers tell you that I was also surrounded by enemies when Frank died? We were caught in a
battle, and you’re saying that I turned around to kill Frank instead of fighting against the Corpse
Pavilion’s disciples?”
Theo narrowed his eyes. “My junior brother saw that you ran away and left Frank behind with his own
eyes! All the attacksnded on my junior brother, and you survived!”
Jackie was speechless from anger. How could Theo say something like that? Should he have stayed
behind and died together with Frank? Everybody wanted to survive! On top of that, he did not know
Frank well, and they had grudges. Why should he die together with Frank?
Theo’s words were downright absurd!
He could clearly feel that Theo was here to cause trouble.
Nelson frowned and nced at Jackie before lowering his voice as he asked, “What’s going on? Are you
involved in Frank’s death?”
Jackie exhaled deeply and gave a brief exnation about what happened, and Nelson then turned
around to look at Theo with a scowl. Everybody there could see that Theo was here to cause trouble.
Based on what happened, Jackie did not make any mistakes.
Frank died because he was too slow in his escape attempt, and this had nothing to do with Jackie!
Although Nelson did not know Jackie well, they were disciples from the same sect. Theo was causing
them problems on purpose, and it happened without any reason. “Senior Brother Theo, you’re going too
far,” spoke Nelson, his voice audibly stern. “My Junior Brother Jackie is unrted to Frank; they just
happened to be allies for a brief moment.”
Chapter 2218 “We’d understandably run for our lives. From what you say, do you mean that my junior
brother shouldn’t have escaped? Should he have died with Frank? Don’t you think that what you’ve said
is vexatious?”
Nelson addressing Theo’s vexatious actions straightforwardly made Theo’s expression sour.
He scoffed and spoke while raising his chin, “Do you think that nobody saw what happened? I purposely
asked the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s disciple, Heath Vay, about what happened. He saw that you had
the opportunity to resolve the opponent’s attack before you escaped, but you didn’t. You left my Junior
Brother Frank there to endure the attacks that caused his death, all while you escaped!”
The corner of Jackie’s mouth slightly twitched when he heard this. Jackie was so angry that he could not
muster words. What he did, after all, was definitely justified
Jackie was about to refute when Griffin spoke up mockingly, “Junior Brother Jackie, what you did is
wrong. How could you frame others when you wish to escape?”
Jackie immediately turned his head around and looked at Griffin coldly. Griffin looked back at Jackie
indifferently; it was in to see he was trying to make Jackie furious. He then added, “Based on what
you say, the five of you had formed an alliance at that time, and you shouldn’t have done that even
though he isn’t your n brother.”
What Griffin said was morally ckmailing Jackie, and he waspletely unfazed by the burning fire he
had just added fuel into. Griffin purposely raised his voice when he spoke so that the people around
them could hear him clearly.
What Griffin said had attracted the attention of many, and everyone started toe closer to them. Many
of them crossed their arms at their chests, pointing at Jackie usingly as they gossiped among
themselves. Although they spoke in a soft voice, they did not hide the mockery in their eyes as they
looked at Jackie.
Nelson frowned and looked at Griffin angrily. Griffin still acted as if he saw nothing and looked like he
was unfazed by what he had just done. He stretched out his hand and touched his storage ring. A jade
folding fan appeared in his palm, and he opened the fan with a p. Griffin waved the fan in his hand.
Although martial artists were not afraid of the changes in temperature, he still shook the fan happily.
Jackie only gazed at Griffin coldly before a smirk appeared on his face. Half of the smirk was a smile,
while the other half made the others feel a tingling chill traveling down their spine.
Griffin did not care about Jackie’s gaze as the grudges between them were unresolvable. On top of that,
he looked down at those who relied on others to improve their status.
Griffin chuckled and spoke in a manner that made Jackie want to kick his teeth in. “Junior Brother Jackie,
why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? You can point it out if you think that
there’s something wrong with what I said.”
Jackie replied coldly, “I’m impressed, Senior Brother Griffin. You’re capable of doing anything just to fulfill
your despicable wishes.”
Griffin raised his eyebrows. “Junior Brother Jackie, what do you mean? What did I do to deserve such
comments from you? Although you’ve always liked to nder others, please refrain from doing so now! I
can let go of what happened in the past, but it’s bad for you to nder me now when there are so many
people around us!”
Griffin threw all caution in the wind and made up things just to defame Jackie. Everybody could see that
there were grudges between the two of them, but they had no idea how and what had happened
between them.
Chapter 2219
Griffin’s sudden mention that Jackie once ndered him immediately caused the others to
misunderstand that Jackie did this in the past.
Jackie raised his brows. “Senior Brother Griffin, I’m impressed that you can simply make things up. Since
you mentioned that I ndered you, can you tell everyone what lies I’ve said and my nders toward
you?”
Nelson exhaled helplessly. He knew that if he allowed the matter to continue developing, it would not be
beneficial for both Jackie and the Dual Sovereign Pavilion
Thus, he stretched out his hand and stopped Jackie from speaking before he hurried toward Griffin. He
then warned Griffin with a cold expression, “Junior Brother Griffin, please pay attention to your words.
Since the matter has nothing to do with you, leave it to me and Junior Brother Jackie.”
Griffin said nothing previously because he was afraid of Nelson and the punishment from the sect.
However, it meant nothing for him to make somements at this point as Jackie offended outsiders
and were here to cause Jackie trouble. Even if the upper management of the sect learned about what he
did, he would also defend himself by saying that Jackie caused the trouble, and he only spoke up
because it was morally inappropriate.
Griffin chuckled when he thought of this exnation and nonchntly spoke, “You’re wrong, Senior
Brother Nelson. I feel that it’s inappropriate of us to take Jackie’s side all the time. What Jackie did was
wrong!”
Theo followed suit as he said, “That’s right! Jackie has crossed the line, and if he made another move,
my junior brother would’ve survived the attack. He purposely avoided the attack and let my junior brother
die! Even though you aren’t rted to my junior brother, you were allies at that point and were
teammates. You’re backstabbing my junior brother by what you did! An immoral person like you should
pay for what you did!”
Jackie was ced on a pedestal, and it looked like they were criticizing Jackie into a despicable, immoral
viin with no virtue. What Theo said added fuel to the fire, and many people eyed Jackie hatefully-the
disgust in their eyes was apparent.
Some people even said straightforwardly, “Such a despicable person doesn’t deserve to stand together
with us or fight for the precious treasure on the Divine Void Slope with us!”
N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
“That’s right! And he even tried to spew twisted exnations! I thought that he was an understanding
person, but it seems that he’s a despicable, shameless person instead!”
The sharpments wafted into Jackie’s ears, but Jackie remained unfazed as if he heard nothing. In
fact, Jackie had heard many of suchments since a long time ago. However, the reactions of the
crowd caused Theo to be extremely excited. It was his intention to frame Jackie into a despicable person
with no virtue so that everybody would gather to attack Jackie.
Jackie said nothing and only focused on Edric, who stood behind Theo. He saw how Edric lowered his
eyes to stare at the ground while frowning. Edric slowly looked up as if he felt that Jackie was looking at
him. He immediately turned to look away when he saw that Jackie was staring at him.
Jackie frowned when he saw Edric’s reaction. Something was wrong with him.
Chapter 2220
There was something wrong with the entire matter.
Jackie suddenly looked up and said to Theo, “You mentioned that Senior Brother Heath saw the entire
thing, yes? He was indignant about what happened and had told you everything, am I right?”
Theo’s gaze darted around, but he soon calmed down and nodded. “That’s true. Junior Brother Heath felt
that you had gone too far. Nobody can ept such despicable actions, which was why he told me
everything out of righteousness! Don’t try and argue that Junior Brother Heath didn’t see anything.
Although he was already badly pounded at that time, he wasn’t that troubled at all. The others were
focused on their respective fights, but he had time to observe everybody while you were fighting. That
was how he had witnessed how despicable you were!”
Theo raised his head and chest as he spoke so righteously, as though he was a messenger of justice
who was rebuking Jackie, the despicable and shameless viin.
Jackie chuckled and startedughing when he heard what Theo said, and the ridicule Jackie held in his
laughter was unmistakable. He suddenly looked over at where the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s disciples
were gathered.
Compared to their side, the other gathering spot was much quieter. Several of them were meditating with
their legs crossed. It was true that Heath was badly wounded in the battle with the masked man. He was
also meditating at that moment, and he was extremely pale while his breathing was shallow.
Jackie still remembered how much blood Heath vomited when he was wounded and fell to the ground,
yet he still found it in him to ry what had happened to Theo, even after he spewed blood enough to
coat the entire ground?
Heath must have been genuinely free to have done that!
Griffin immediately mocked Jackie’s ear-piercingughter. “Why are youughing? Do you think that the
righteous words of others are hrious?! Still. It’s understandable for despicable people like you to think
of other people’s actions for justice to be hrious!”
Griffin was so used to ndering others. He mocked Jackie to his heart’s content and waspletely
guilt free with doing that, too.
Nelson was so angry that he, with his face turning purplish, stretched out his head. “Junior Brother
Griffin, can you stop talking? You have nothing to do with this matter, and you should stay out of it. Don’t
forget that no matter what Junior Brother Jackie did, he’s still your junior brother!”
Griffin immediately stood up straight when he heard what Nelson said. “You’re right. Senior Brother
Nelson-Jackie is my junior brother no matter what he did. However, I cannot put up with such a disloyal
and unrighteous person!”
Nelson scoffed at this and ceased his attempt. He knew that Griffin just could not stop himself, no matter
what he said. He could only allow Griffin to continue showing off.
Jackie barely reacted when facing the usations and mocking looks from the people around him.
Jackie did not feel like it was nothing, but he realized the crucial point of the issue.
Jackie felt that there was something weird going on when Theo rushed over to question him. Was Theo
close to Frank? Why did Theo question him? Why did Edric refuse to face him? Why did Heath, who was
terribly wounded and was on the ground vomiting blood, tell Theo about what happened? Apart from
himself, Heath was the other person who hated Frank.
If Frank had not ignored his words and did not say so much to anger the masked man, they would have
withdrawn themselves safely. They would not have experienced the annoying matterter on. Heath
would not be badly wounded either!
The Divine Void Slope was about to be activated, and everybody would be fighting over precious items
by then. Heath was so badly wounded that he did not have the courage to climb up the Divine Void
Slope.
