"There's no need for that. Just say whatever you need to say."
Dudley's face turned a little purple. He did not care about anything anymore. "I beg you. Pleasespare me. I will definitely take you out and keep our mouths shut as long as you let us go."
Fane nodded. They were his best shot. Fane and the others should be safe as long as they keptwatch over the two brothers to ensure that they could not send any message to the other disciplesof the Corpse Pavilion.
However, Fane keenly perceived the different meanings of what Dudley had just said. He turnedaround and stared at him with cold eyes. "How many days has it been since the trap array was setup?”
After calculating in his mind, Fane realized that it had been more than ten days since he steppedfoot into the mountain. He did not feel any obstruction coming in here, that was to say, the trap arrayhad not been set up at that time.
"Around nine or ten days,” said Dudley after mentally calculating it.
"And not one Thousand Leaves Pavilion people came here during that time?” asked Fane.
Dudley shook his head and replied very sincerely, "Not
that I've heard of. The trap array we set up has never been attacked. Several cultivators whoescaped our line of sight attacked the trap array from within the trap array."
Hearing this made Fane even more surprised. According to his statement, the trap array had beenset up for at least nine days and yet the Thousand Leaves Pavilion never noticed anything strangeduring that period?novelbin
After all, would it not be strange if none of the disciples returned to the pavilion in those nine days?Under normal circumstances, they would definitely find something off about this so how was itpossible that they did not send out men to annihilate the Corpse Pavilion disciples in the mountain?
If Fane were a senior member of the Thousand Leaves Pavilion, he would immediately send peopleto investigate after he noticed something amiss, and then launch an attack to rescue the disciplestrapped in the array and destroy the plan of the Corpse Pavilion. However, nine days had passedand there was still no movement from the Thousand Leaves Pavilion.
Neither did they send anyone to rescue the disciples trapped inside, nor launched an attack. It wasas if they were blissfully unaware of what was happening. Fane's expression became more solemnat the thought of this.
He glanced sideways at Dwight and the others and saw that their expressions were also verystrange.
This was definitely not a normal situation. Maybe the Thousand Leaves Pavilion was under attackright now or ran into some other accident. However, they had no way of finding out since they werestill trapped there.
"Jed, bury the bodies and tidy up the surroundings. We will set off to the mountain border once allthat is done," said Fane.
Hearing this, Jed became baffled. He pointed at the bodies on the ground and asked, "Why do Ihave to be the only one to do the cleaning up?"
Fane chuckled and gazed at him softly, "Because I find you displeasing. You don’t have to do what Isay. I just won't bring you out with me." 1
They were strangers, to begin with, and though Fane found Jed to be friendly at first, he soonproved him otherwise. Besides, Fane not only provided them with a place to heal their wounds butalso took them out of their predicament. Without him, they would have been long dead.
