No. 1 Supreme Warrior

chapter 2211-2220

Chapter 2211 Jackie could vaguely see something flashing on top of the slope.

“Another one came!” said someone.

Jackie turned his head and saw a group of people standing around. Fortunately, the place 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 place 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 place 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 Clan, and Dual Sovereign Pavilion. There was a group of people who he could not put his finger on at first glance, but after careful study, he recognized them to be a Clan association under the Corpse Pavilion.

Jackie did a rough calculation 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 Place for Resources. In other words, the people who entered the Secret Place for Resources were gathered there.

A series of muffled noises sounded again causing Jackie to look in the direction it was coming 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 place? 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 Place for Resources are gathered here?!”

The newcomers 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 place 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 glad 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 Places for Resources. Just exactly what is he planning to do?’ Suddenly, Elder Godfrey’s words flashed through Jackie’s mind.

The Secret Places for Resources was very likely to be a place of inheritance left by a powerful predecessor. The reason why he left the place 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 place 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 similar to the space cave they used to enter the Secret Places 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 Places 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 place where we enter Divine Void Slopes is the place where we can go back!”

“Where is the Divine Void Slope? Why have I never heard of it? Is it a secret place in the Secret Places 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 will come 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 would come 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 Place 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 explain them one by one, but I will mention a few of the more common 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?’ After coming to the West Cersie State, he discovered a lot of things were actually related 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 Place 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 related 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 flashed 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 thin layer 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 place 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 place among the chosen disciples and was the strongest disciple in the Dual Sovereign Pavilion sent into the Secret Place for Resources. Jackie also asked around for Griffin’s information and learned that Griffin was in ninth place. This meant that he was in the last place 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 Place 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 were completely 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’s last disciple, he was just an informal disciple. Compared to Jackie, they had a closer relationship 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 relationship 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 slaps 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 such comments 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 collar and slap 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 clan 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 clan 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 clan brothers when we’re in the Secret Place 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 by coming to me!

Nelson frowned and glanced 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 clan brothers and we’re in a public place. 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 glared at Jackie so fiercely as if he wanted to bite a piece of meat off Jackie’s body.

Chapter 2216 Jackie flat-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, glanced 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 plain 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 related to the Divine Void World. Since it was related 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 Clan. All the disciples from the

north knew about the issues between the Muddled Origin Clan and Dual Sovereign Pavilion. Even disciples from the south had heard of the bad relationship between both sects.

The surrounding people glared at the disciples from the Muddled Origin Clan 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 Clan’s disciple who allied with him, Edric Law!

Edric seemed to be in bad shape. His right hand was completely 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 glance 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 glanced 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 Clan 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 Clan’s disciples. “This is the chosen disciple of the Muddled Origin Clan, Theo Garfield.”

Chapter 2217 Nelson glanced 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 blame this on him! Jackie knew how Frank died as Frank was the one who put himself into all that trouble. Why was Jackie blamed 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 clan 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 attacks landed 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 glanced 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 explanation 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 unrelated 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 plain 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 clan brother.”

What Griffin said was morally blackmailing Jackie, and he was completely 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 to come closer to them. Many of them crossed their arms at their chests, pointing at Jackie accusingly 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 flap. 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 slander others, please refrain from doing so now! I can let go of what happened in the past, but it’s bad for you to slander 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 slandered 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 slandered you, can you tell everyone what lies I’ve said and my slanders 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.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Griffin said nothing previously because he was afraid of Nelson and the punishment from the sect. However, it meant nothing for him to make some comments 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 explanation and nonchalantly 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 related 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 placed on a pedestal, and it looked like they were criticizing Jackie into a despicable, immoral villain 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!”

“That’s right! And he even tried to spew twisted explanations! I thought that he was an understanding person, but it seems that he’s a despicable, shameless person instead!”

The sharp comments wafted into Jackie’s ears, but Jackie remained unfazed as if he heard nothing. In fact, Jackie had heard many of such comments 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 accept 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 villain.

Jackie chuckled and started laughing 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 relay 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-piercing laughter. “Why are you laughing? Do you think that the righteous words of others are hilarious?! Still. It’s understandable for despicable people like you to think of other people’s actions for justice to be hilarious!”

Griffin was so used to slandering others. He mocked Jackie to his heart’s content and was completely 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 accusations 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 matter later 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.
