Chapter 2316


    Nelson’s lips curved into a bitter smile as he spoke. It was as if he was mocking himself as well as


    the people who had discussed it back then.


    "I had thought that as long as he didn''t provoke them, and as long as he tried to stay out of their


    way, we wouldn''t be in any danger. No one would''ve ever expected that they''d suddenly stop


    advancing when they noticed us, and rush right at us instead.


    "The five of us fled the moment we realized something was wrong. However, we were too slow, and


    they eventually caught onto us. Not even bothering to listen to us, about our identity or where we''re


    from, the first thing they did was attack us with their weapons!"


    Nelson''s whole body trembled, his eyes growing bloodshot as shbacks of what had happened ran


    through his mind. He feltpletely broken.


    He gulped and continued, "How could we have stood up against them? I looked on as my fellow


    disciple fell right before me. At that moment, all I could think of was fleeing!


    "Thankfully, the elder gave me an offensive talisman before we left. The attack from the item was


    incredibly strong after it was activated, and it blew a hole in the group. I...took that opportunity to


    escape."


    The tears that pooled in Nelson''s eyes finally fell at that moment, and they dripped onto his clothes.


    Everyone exchanged looks, noticing how grave the issue was.


    It was just like they had anticipated, but it also meant that the situation was already at its worst.


    Isaiah painfully said, "So you''re the only one who survived?"


    In truth, Isaiah had merely beenmenting the situation. With what had happened, Nelson would


    have been the only survivor, yet...


    Nelson''s expression suddenly changed when Isaiah questioned him, as if there was another twist.


    His demeanor had garnered everyone''s attention.


    Those who were not familiar with Nelson could not formte words at that moment, but Isaiah had


    known Nelson for many years. With how strange Nelson''s expression was, he asked, "Did


    something else happen? Has someone else survived?"


    Nelson had not nned on speaking about that. After all, it was not just those from the Dual


    Sovereign Pavilion that were gathered there. However, if he did not say it, it could very well bring


    them all harm.


    With that, Nelson brought himself to confess," Someone else had survived, yes. Not only did he


    survive, but he''s not injured at all. He''s in a very good state."


    Nelson''s anger was evident in the way he spoke, and the individuals around him looked on in


    curiosity. Nelson let out a long sigh as he rubbed his temples.


    "There were three of us from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion," added Nelson, nearly growling. "Other


    than me and the disciple who died, there was also Griffin Olsen!"


    Normally, even though Nelson did not truly approve of how Griffin acted, he regarded Griffin as a


    junior.


    However, the situation waspletely different this time.


    Nelson''s wrath was unbridled at this point when he spat out his response, and it was too obvious to


    ignore.


    Fane suddenly smirked. "Did Griffin submit himself to Corpse Pavilion before you even started


    fighting?


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    "He sucked up to the masked man and constantly bad-mouthed me. Not only did he manage to


    survive, but he''s now a part of the Corpse Pavilion."


    Nelson''s face stiffened as he gazed at Fane regretfully. Even though he did not want to admit it, the


    truth was still the truth, and there was no way for him to change it. He forced himself to nod.


    "It''s as you said. Back then, we were incredibly furious, but that didn''t help at all. He had already


    made up his mind and will probably never return to the Dual Sovereign Pavilion."
