Chapter 2365
The moment Skylar said that the First Elder of the Thousand Leaves Pavilion had a sour look on his face. He had
already noticed before that only six or seven were left from the fifty they had sent.
Even though Graham was still alive, the ones who were not present were among the elites as well. If anything had
really happened to them, it would still be a big blow to the clan.
Skylar looked at the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s First Elder coldly. “It looks like something must have happened.
You’re right, Royce is incredibly strong. Even if something happened to everyone else, nothing would have
happened to him.
“However, he might be strong while the others are not close. The fact that they’re not here might mean that
something did happen to them. Don’t you think so, Elder Zayne?”
Zayne was the name of the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s First Elder. The only reason why the Thousand Leaves
Pavilion and the Corpse Pavilion had been at peace for so long was that Mount Beasts was between the two clans.
If not for Mount Beasts, the two clans would definitely have been at incredible odds with each other.

With what the Corpse Pavilion had done, it was obvious that the two clans did not hold any good feelings toward one
another.
As the First Elders of the two clans, they might look like they were on good terms on the surface, but they were
naturally at odds with each other.
The way Zayne looked at Skylar, it was as though he wanted to eat the man alive.
Skylar felt like there was no reason to continue quarreling. After all, they had yet to determine who had died and
who had not, as well as where the Scarlet Case was!

In the eyes of those elders, the Scarlet Case would naturally be in the hands of the strongest disciple. Skylar
naturally thought that the strongest one was definitely Royce, but there was no sight of him.
“What exactly happened? Lennon, give me a clear explanation. Stop fidgeting around like this. Are you some girl
who had never seen the world?”
Lennon shook even more after being scolded like that. He was naturally not weak and was just slightly behind
Royce.
However, the Corpse Pavilion was different from other clans. Their clan was incredibly cutthroat, and there were a
lot more deaths.
Lennon was incredibly terrified.
If he voiced out what had happened, Skylar would definitely pull him out! Yet, he knew that he would be punished if
he did not tell them what had happened.
Thinking about that, he took a deep breath, and stood up straight as he said, “Royce is dead!”
The moment he said that all of the elders were stunned. In truth, they had already speculated on that result, but
hearing it was still hard to accept.
Skylar’s body froze. The next second, he shot forward in front of Lennon. He grabbed Lennon’s collar with his
hands. Skylar’s face was green. “He died? How Did he die? Who killed him? What exactly happened? Tell me
everything, now!”

Lennon gulped. He turned and looked at Jackie. The moment Jackie saw his expression, Jackie knew that something
was up. He knew that, if he did not do anything quickly, that crazed elder might just kill him the next second.
Hence, he looked up at Elder Godfrey. Ever since Elder Godfrey had entered the realm, his gaze had been on Jackie.
Jackie let out a sigh of relief and hurried over to Elder Godfrey. The First and Second Elder shot Jackie a cold look.
They felt that Jackie was like a cat trying to hide and looked absolutely embarrassing!
Chapter 2366 Nonetheless, they could not say anything at that moment. After all, no one was focused on Jackie.
Elder Godfrey was taken aback when he realized Jackie had sneaked up behind him. Did something happen?
“Did something happen?” whispered Elder Godfrey.
Jackie, knowing he could not evade this, nodded at the elder. “No need to ask for now. You’ll find out in a moment.”
When he heard Jackie say that, Elder Godfrey was even more confused, but he did not persist on the matter.
Lennon’s breath was slowly getting more erratic with his collar being grabbed in such a manner.
He felt like Skylar might actually kill him on the spot if he did not make things clear, so he pointed at the peak of the
Divine Void Slope.
“The final battle was one between the two strongest among us. Royce couldn’t stand up to Jackie, and Jackie killed
him in one blow.” Lennon used the most abbreviated version of everything that had happened.
However, the others were confused when they heard this. Royce had been killed in one blow, and it was nowhere
random, either, the place being the peak of the Divine Void Slope. All the elders had already ascertained the rules
before they got there.
Naturally, they knew that climbing to the top of the Divine Void Slope was an incredibly perilous road. There were
countless obstacles, and only the two strongest could stand at the top for a final battle.
It was nothing peculiar to hear Royce having reached the peak. It was only natural, seeing as he was definitely at
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe helm of all the disciples there. All that and even with his impressive skills, however.. he had lost and, what more,
killed in one strike!
Losing and being killed were two different matters. Being able to kill the other party required one to be much
stronger! “Who is Jackie?” Skylar shouted.
Why had he never heard of that name before? Skylar swept a glance across the northern clans’ disciples and
assessed them.
The strongest among them, other than Graham, would be Benjamin. He had never heard of the name Jackie. Other
than the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s elders, the other elders were confused as well.
The First Elder widened his eyes as he turned back to look at Jackie, who, at that moment, hung his head low and
kept mum.
The Second Elder was just as shocked. The two elders would never have expected that Jackie was actually the one
who faced off against Royce and killed his opponent.
Even though they felt like Jackie was capable and talented, it was nowhere earth -shaking. No matter how strong he
was, they would never have expected him to defeat a chosen disciple from a fourth- grade clan!The elder pointed
at Jackie. “It’s you?”
Nonetheless, he had deliberately whispered those words.
Jackie let out a sigh; there was no point in keeping it a secret anymore. No matter how long Jackie wanted to hide it,
he would not have such a chance.
With that, Jackie nodded. “I was the one who killed Royce.”
The people were shocked to have heard this, never once expecting that Jackie would be this formidable. If they had
not heard it for themselves, the First and Second Elders would not have believed him.
In truth, they still had their doubts. After all, no matter how strong Jackie was, he was still just at the intermediate
stage of the innate level. They were certain that much, despite not knowing other details.
