No.1 Supreme Warrior by Moneto

This news made an already bad situation worse.. It confirmed Jackie’s guess that anyone would have been eliminated once discovered by the Corpse Pavilion disciples. Both Dual Sovereign Pavilion and Muddled Origin Clan were within the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s sphere of influence which was not surprising since the former two Clan associations were only third-grade while the latter Clan association was the only fourth-grade Clan association in the entire north area of West Cercie State.

Therefore, according to the rules, the lower-grade Clan associations would need to heed the orders of the higher-grade Clan association so that was why the two Clan associations would help out the Thousand Leaves Pavilion even though they did not belong to the same Clan associations.

What the Corpse Pavilion disciples were doing was indiscriminate killing. Death was inevitable as long as one did not belong to their own Clan association. Knowing this, it finally dawns on Jackie and the others just how bad their situation was.

Jackie’s face was black as thunder. “What should we do next? We can’t just wait for death to come to us!”

Dwight glanced at Nash helplessly and said, “You’re right. We can’t just wait to die here but our ideas have run dried. We’re not even sure how many Corpse Pavilion disciples are out there. From my initial observation, there are at least a hundred of them. One of them is still manageable but they usually move in groups. Besides, we don’t even know what their motives are and how long they would stay here.”

Dwight had listed out all the questions in everyone’s minds and still, no answers were to be found. It would be their worst nightmare if the Corpse Pavilion disciples planned to stay there for half a year or even a year.

Jackie furrowed his brows and raised his head. “How long do you think it will take the Thousand Leaves Pavilion to discover what the Corpse Pavilion is doing?”

That was the million-dollar question. It was given that the Thousand Leaves Pavilion would notice something was amiss even though the Corpse Pavilion disciples had set up the trap array but the question was, when?

Their only hope, for now, was for the Thousand Leaves Pavilion to come to their rescue but they were not sure what the higher-ups of the sect would do once they got wind of what the Corpse Pavilion was doing

Jackie got up and looked outside the entrance. “We can’t stay here and be sitting ducks. We should still find a way to get out no matter what the Corpse Pavilion plans to do or how long they’ll stay here.”

He took out the map from his storage ring, laid it flat on the ground, and marked their location. Jackie was a decisive person and chose not to wrack his brain over what he could not figure out. Instead, he would find a way out of this himself. Dwight, too, came over to his side.

Chapter 2059 “We all know the best thing we can do now is to look for a way out but how can we when there are so many of those Corpse Pavilion disciples?” asked Dwight helplessly after looking at the map.

Then he gestured at the circled location which was where they were. “There are no other hiding places In this vicinity apart from this cave. The only place we can go is this cliff over here but chances are we’ll die If we scale the walls there so we might just as well wait here.”

He became despaired after saying that. Dwight was not the type to easily give up when things got tough but this time, he obviously realized they had been backed into a corner. Although they were still safe for now, he was not exactly sure for how long more.

Suddenly, Jackie’s small defense array board let out a red glow. He quickly put down the map and went over to the board to perform some hand seals. The glow changed to white and a moving image floated above the board.

They instantly recognized the place they were looking at. The place was about a hundred yards away from the cave and the moving image showed twenty or so people in a horizontal line walking toward where they were. The man in the middle of the line was wearing a strange mask. The mask was made of bone fragments and blood-red runes were written all over it.

Ted shot up from the ground when he saw that person, “He’s the spring solidifying level fighter!”

Their enemies were getting closer and this made Jackie’s heart clench while his expression darkened. The man with the mask was holding a blood-red rope in his hand and a monster, measuring about half of an average human’s height, was tied to the end of the rope

The monster looked like a dog but was much more ferocious than a normal dog. It had only one eye but the eye was the size of a palm and its pupil was giving off a red glow.

“It’s a cyclops canine!” said Jackie with a knit of his brow.

The cyclops canine is the final stage of the innate level monster. However, this monster is weaker than the average final stage of innate level monster and is very popular with humans. A lot of martial artists like to keep one or two of them as pets. The Clan associations, as well, like to keep a group of them, for they would come in very useful especially in times like this.

Jed’s lips twitched. His expression was extremely frightening to look at and his breath became very haggard. “They must be looking for someone! Who could it be?”

Although a cyclops canine would not win in a fight with other monsters, he can find a person based on the fluctuations of his true energy. With his palm sized eye, he can find the traces of that person within a certain range by relying on the remaining true energy fluctuations of a person. This was also the reason why many Clan associations favored having a group of canine cyclops as pets.

Their blood ran cold the moment they saw the cyclops canine. Then they saw the masked man take out a piece of cloth and hold it in front of the cyclops canine’s eye. The huge eye released dark red runes, and the runes flickered in the air as if they were attracted by the cloth, and began to hover and float o n the small piece of cloth.

Dwight’s face turned dark, and he quickly turned to look at the still-unconscious Albion. “That’s from Brother Albion’s undershirt! He accidentally ripped It during the fight with them. I’m one hundred percent sure about this!”

Chapter 2060 Everybody’s hearts clenched again when they heard this and their hands started to tremble. The cyclops dog locates a person by following the remaining true energy fluctuations of that person. When anyone uses martial arts skills or techniques, there will be residual true energy fluctuations on the things they used. This kind of true energy fluctuations cannot be detected by humans, but the cyclops canine can. Even if that person’s clothes have extremely weak true energy fluctuations. In the huge eye of the cyclops canine, the true energy can be magnified countless times.

At this moment, Albion woke up and a little bit of color came back to his face. It was obvious that the spirited herbs Dwight and Jed had piled on him previously had worked. However, even so, none of them were in any mood for celebration.

“sH*T!” Jackie gritted his teeth as the anxiety in his heart intensified, for he had noticed the cyclops canine seemed to have zeroed in on its targets and was wagging his tail and looking over in their direction. This was as good as them receiving a death sentence. His breath became haggard and he regretted letting Nash come out of the Mustard Seed Spirit Ship. He never thought that things would end up this way.

“We have to leave this place! The cyclops canine has already found us,” said Jackie decisively.

Dwight’s face was as black as thunder. “But where can we go? They’re all over the place. We’ll die if we go out like this!” he said in a panicky tone.

It might seem like the three of them had dragged Jackie into their problem but to Jackie, he was grateful to bump into them. If not, he might not have known about the Corpse Pavilion disciples and might have run into them and was probably dead by now. He closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. Then, he made up his mind.

“There is one way to escape the Corpse Pavilion’s detection.”

“Which way?” asked Dwight and Jed with wide eyes.

At that moment, the small array defense board glowed red again and they all turned to look at the newly transmitted moving images. The masked man was performing hand seals and the cyclops canine had already locked on its target. It was jumping around excitedly, trying to rush to the cave, but was pulled back by the masked man. The next second, the masked man walked over to a particular area.

“Oh sH*T!” cried Jackie in a low voice when he saw where he was going. Immediately, the small array defense board he was holding shattered with a crisp cracking sound and everyone knew what had happened without any need for explanation.

The small defense array boards were linked to each other so it was not surprising the array board in Jackie’s hand would break if the masked man had broken the other one outside the cave. Fortunately, they had already seen all that they needed to see. Jackie turned his head and glanced at Albion.
