Chapter 2311
Samson said with a look of fear, “Then what do we do? We can’t just stand there and wait for death! We can’t just let them kill us, we have to work together!

“We need to get all the disciples from the northern clans to work together to fight against them! Fiends or treasures are not important at all, our lives are the most important!”

Samson was right, with how the situation was, all those treasures were no longer that attractive to them. Their lives were the most important thing, and ensuring their clans were able to profit as well.

With the Corpse Pavilion crazily attempting to slaughter everyone, if they did not react immediately, all of them would be placed in a lot of danger. They would be at an absolute disadvantage with no way of turning the tables around.

Jackie turned to look at the three of them, “Do you three have any way to notify the other disciples from your clans?”

Hayden nodded, “I have an idea! I have a sound transfer array with Graham!”

As he said that, he retrieved a sealing array that was about the size of a palm out of his storage ring. Jackie knew what that was.

Arrays like that were incredibly expensive, regular folk would not be able to afford them at all. However, it had its uses at crucial times.

As long as spirit crystals were placed outside of the formation, they could transmit sound through space. They could no longer even afford to think about the cost at that point, and Hayden retrieved a few more spirit crystals, placing them there.

Various seals started to appear, and in two breaths, Hayden said into the array, “Graham! Something bad’s happened! We’re now at…”

Hayden suddenly paused at that. He did not know how he could convey the position he was to Graham. After all, they were not familiar with the area.

Jackie frowned before saying, “We’ve advanced about thirty kilometers. With Netherworld Mountain as the landmark, we’re to the west. You can light a signal when you’re here.”

That was the only way they could describe their position. After the voice was sent over, Graham’s voice was sent back after about five breaths time, “I understand, I’ll head there immediately!”

After that, Hayden was a bit more relaxed. He slumped on the floor in exhaustion. As a warrior, he was actually not afraid of death.

He’d seen his fellow disciples being killed by man or beast alike. However, this was different from before, this was manslaughter!

None of them would have survived! Thinking about that, Hayden suddenly felt like someone had their hands around his throat, that he could die at any Moment.

Just as they were feeling incredibly nervous, Jackie suddenly raised his head, looking over a withered tree before he suddenly reacted. The three of them were shocked and immediately ran behind Jackie.

Samson trembled as he said, “Jackie, did you see something? Is there any danger?”

Jackie frowned, “I can feel…something on the branch of that tree!”

Jackie walked forward toward the tree. Jackie’s movement had been too quick. The three of them were still incredibly anxious. Even though they were reluctant, they still followed behind.

Chapter 2312
It was a withered tree with no signs of life left in it. It was about the height of two humans. The tree was so withered that, just by touching the trunk, layers of dried bark would fall off.

Jackie ignored the people behind him. He slowly knelt down, staring right at the tree’s roots. The three of them looked toward where Jackie did and did not notice anything strange.

The roots seemed to be just like any other part of the tree. It was unknown how long it had died. The white skin spoke of the ages past. With Jackie not having said anything yet, the other three did not dare to Make any careless moves.

The three of them merely stared at where Jackie was looking. However, no matter how they looked, they could not find anything strange about it. After kneeling down for a long time, Jackie slowly stood up.

His eyes had an unusual look to them, “What’s the point of doing all this? Is there anything special in this place?”

After saying that, he looked up to look at his surroundings. It was still the same endless, blood colored world. There did not seem to be anything special there, nothing that would attract Jackie’s attention.

Isaiah frowned and asked, “What’s the point in what? Jackie, what did you find?”

Jackie furrowed his eyebrows, saying in a plain tone,” Evil Blood Thunder, I felt a sliver of it on the roots of this tree. It’s the same electricity I felt on Riv’s body.

Jackie had carefully investigated Riv’s corpse, especially the electricity around his chest. Without that as a reference, Jackie would not have so accurately noticed the odd circumstance.

The masked man had merely left a sliver of electricity around that tree, probably only as a mark. That was why Jackie expanded his attention, trying to see if there was anything special around them.

However, after looking for a long time, he did not notice anything. It was possible that it really was just a mark. With Jackie’s words, the three of them sent out their senses at the roots of the tree, and sure enough, they noticed the remnants of Evil Blood Thunder.

Hayden’s expression was incredibly dark, “What is it that this piece of trash wants?! He definitely has a goal in mind!”

With their fellow disciples dying in such a cruel manner, Hayden and others were naturally incredibly upset. On top of them, the group of madmen could very possibly attack them as well, causing the group to harbor even more hatred.

They did not have the confidence to beat the masked man. Even though Jackie was there, their opponents were working together. With only the four of them, they would definitely not end up in a good state.

Samson paced around nervously. His skills were the weakest, and he was the one most worried about his own future.

“What do we do? I feel like that group isn’t just crazy, they are madmen with a plan in their heads. Facing them, we have to be incredibly careful. Otherwise, if we meet them, we’re gone!”

Finishing that statement, Samson’s face was incredibly terrified. His lips trembled slightly as he looked at Jackie with anticipation. Jackie knew what Samson was worried about.

There was nothing much Jackie could do at that moment either. “Just take it easy for now. We already know that this group will definitely attack if they meet us.

“Then, we just have to retreat immediately the moment we spot traces of them. If we’re far enough from them, they definitely won’t be a threat to us.”

Jackie’s words were mostly to comfort Samson’s anxiety, but Samson still looked incredibly panicked.

Chapter 2313
“Then we can never switch off our senses. As long as he notices anything wrong, we should flee immediately, don’t even think about anything else!”

Death was terrifying. It was something all of them did not want, nor were willing to face. Their group was not that prominent among the masters gathered in the Hidden Place for Resources, but back within their own clans, they were among the elites.

They were either internal or chosen disciples within their clans. Normal informal disciples or runners, and most of the other internal disciples would never dare to look down on them.

They were always greeted respectfully, and they had their own bright futures to look forward to. Hence, none of them were willing to lose their lives in a place like this.

Isaiah’s whole body was trembling slightly because he was constantly being flooded with the pale face of Riv in his head.

Just half a day ago, Riv had been joking around with the rest of them. He never expected that the next time they met, that carefree and playful top internal disciple would end up as a corpse.

He had died so quickly, in just one hit. He did not even have the chance to fight back. It had been far too cruel.

Isaiah took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. However, his heart was still beating erratically. After a moment, he told Jackie, “Jackie, there’s definitely a reason he left a mark behind here. There might be something special around here that we haven’t noticed

“It’s because our investigation is just on the surface. Why don’t we investigate in detail so we can try and see what he’s up to.”

Jackie nodded, “You’re right, but I feel like the masked man probably did not leave only a single mark behind. We might be able to see similar marks around here.”
