Chapter 2367
Royce was able to enter the Hidden Place for Resources thanks to consuming pills to suppress his power. Royce was
no regular person on the innate stage.
Even a chosen disciple from another fourth-grade clan like Graham would not stand a chance against Royce. A
large reason why the Thousand Leaves Pavilion had so many issues was that Royce was in the Corpse Pavilion.
Furthermore, they knew that Corpse Pavilion had a pill that was able to suppress one’s strength. Thus, obtaining the
Scarlet Case would require someone incredibly strong to enter the Hidden Place for Resources.
That was why the Thousand Leaves Pavilion had been in such a bind. Not only did they reveal the information, but
they had even given participation badges out.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Are you really that strong? You killed Royce?!” Elder Sayer almost bit his tongue.
He did not believe that Jackie was that strong; they had seen Jackie fight before Even though Jackie had won a few
battles, he was still a far cry from someone like Royce. If Royce wanted to defeat Wesley, it would probably take
less than a single strike!
Elder Godfrey inhaled deeply. “What exactly happened?!”

As Elder Godfrey was saying that, Skylar shouted the same thing to the disciples from his clan, making them
recount everything that had happened the past few days.
Even though those disciples had all been scared witless by Skylar, they still stammered out everything that had
happened in the past few days in detail.
When Skylar listened to everything, fury overtook his expression. “That Jackie is so talented? He’s able to defeat
someone at the late stage of the innate level when he’s just at the intermediate? Seems like there’s more to him
than meets the eye, then!

When Skylar said that, everyone pointed at Jackie’s location. Skylar turned to look at Jackie, who was behind Elder
Godfrey.
Even though Elder Godfrey was blocking half of Jackie’s body, he still saw Jackie’s face. “What are you hiding for?!
Don’t think I’ll let you off just because you have talent and skill. Hand over the Scarlet Case immediately, or I’ll rip
you apart!”
Jackie helplessly sighed; it seemed like things still reached this stage at this point. Zayne slowly turned around,
looking at Jackie with disbelief.
He had thought that the Scarlet Case would at least fall into Graham’s hands if Royce did not get it. They would
never have thought that the Scarlet Case would fall into an elder disciple from a third- grade clan in the end. It was
unbelievable.
They had never even heard of that name before!
Zayne let out a small laugh as he narrowed his eyes, walking toward Jackie’s location.
He warmly greeted, “Jackie, is it? Don’t worry, with the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s Elders here, the Corpse Pavilion
won’t be able to do anything to you.”
His words seemed to be telling Jackie that the Thousand Leaves Pavilion would protect him. However, Jackie was
not an ignorant child; they were merely protecting the Scarlet Case.
Once they brought him out of this place, they would still ask him to hand over the Scarlet Case. If he did not, he
would die anyway!

Alas, it was still not the best time for him to retaliate. All he could do was nod. Isaiah whispered to Nelson, “What’s
the Scarlet Case? Could Jackie be…”
Chapter 2368 Nelson shook his head slightly as he looked at Jackie helplessly. Jackie was already pushed to a
precarious situation.
Jackie would have to hand over the Scarlet Case if he wanted to live. It seemed like the Scarlet Case was incredibly
valuable.
“I don’t know what’ll happen to Jackie, but since he killed Royce, the Corpse Pavilion won’t want to let him off. Still,
as long as Jackie is smart, he should be fine!”
The moment he said that, Skylar was already heading toward Jackie. However, as he rushed over, Zayne and the
others did as well, standing before him.
They were, of course, not willing to have the Scarlet Case fall into the hands of those people.
Skylar let out a cold laugh. “Quit pretending to be some righteous person, Zayne. With the Scarlet Case in this brat’s
hands, you’re just protecting the case, not him.”
Zayne let out a small laugh, brushing those words aside. “The Scarlet Case is Jackie’s, and he can give it to whoever
he wants. Your disciples weren’t able to get the Scarlet Case, so there’s already no reason to cry about it.”
Skylar squinted at this, already ripping Zayne to a thousand pieces in his mind. He took a deep breath as he looked
right at Jackie. The brat truly did have some skill. Furthermore, he had beaten a late- stage innate level while being
at the intermediate stage, and no regular late stage either.
Jackie would definitely grow to be a dreadful opponent against the Corpse Pavilion if he was to be spared. On top of
that, Jackie had killed their very best disciple, so how could he not hate Jackie?
“Setting the Scarlet Case aside, this brat has to die. Don’t thinkI don’t know. Even if this brat doesn’t give you the
Scarlet Case, you’ll think of all sorts of ways to get it back. Since that’s the case, why are you standing on his side?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust kill the child and be done with it!” boomed Skylar.
It was obvious that Skylar hated Jackie to the core.
Zayne raised an eyebrow-he had to admit that Skylar was right.
However, there were some things where he could not be too ruthless. After all, Jackie was not a disciple of the
Thousand Leaves Pavilion, but the Dual Sovereign Pavilion. With that child’s skill and potential, he would definitely
be greatly favored after returning to the Dual Sovereign Pavilion.
If he made a move against Jackie at that moment, the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s Elders would interfere. It would
greatly damage their reputation, since they were still in the same camp no matter what.
Skylar coughed lightly, raising an eyebrow as he said, “Stop trying to stir things up. What happens in the future is
the Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s problem.”
Meanwhile, Jackie inwardly chuckled. Both Zayne and Skylar were two peculiar individuals, no doubt. Zayne might
look like he was on Jackie’s side, but his words were shameless. Saying that Jackie should give the Scarlet Case to
whoever he wanted seemed to imply that Jackie would be at fault if he did not give it to someone!
“Hand this brat to me!” snapped Skylar, his eyes blown wide open. “Other than the Scarlet Case, we don’t want
anything else! You know that this trip isn’t just for the Scarlet Case, too. If you hand that brat to me, then other than
fairly fighting over the Case, we don’t want anything else.”
Those words caused Zayne’s face to stiffen with sudden indecision. Skylar was right; they were not just after the
Scarlet Case. There was still the medicinal garden within the Hidden Place for Resources, and that place would
definitely have many treasures.
If those disgusting people did not interfere, the Thousand Leaves Pavilion would greatly benefit.
Thinking about that, he let out a forced Smile as he looked at the elders from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion.
The First Elder and the others immediately knew what Zayne wanted to do when they saw Zayne’s face.
The First Elder was incredibly frustrated. He did not like Jackie, but with Jackie’s potential and skill, Jackie would
definitely be a pillar to the Dual Sovereign Clan in the future if they put the proper resources into him.
