Fane had not encountered a single soul, not even a fiend throughout the whole journey. That was the first time he had seen a living human. Among the three of them, he only recognized Isaiah.
Upon eavesdropping on their conversation, Fane found out that Hayden was from Thousand Leaves Pavilion while Samson was from Muddled Origin Clan. The reason Fane knew of Isaiah was because they were both from the Dual Sovereign Pavilion.
Dual Sovereign Pavilion appointed three of their chosen disciples to the Secret Place for Resources. Aside from Nelson and Griffin, the third chosen disciple was Isaiah. The chosen disciples of Dual Sovereign Pavilion were of honorable positions, and they could do whatever they want without facing consequences.
Ever since arriving at the Secret Place for Resources, disciples of higher positions were everywhere, and the chosen disciples had no chance to show off their honorable positions. Fane had only a faint impression of Isaiah as a person.
Earlier when he had a conflict with Griffin, Isaiah stood aside without saying a word. He was not aggressive like Griffin, nor was he self-righteous and defending himself like Nelson did.
It was as if nothing mattered to him, and he showed
no emotions. He also flunked the previous level in the blood world as he failed to kill 120 corpse puppets.
Fane sighed silently. It was better if he did not show himself, even though he had a new mask and clothing. It was not guaranteed that they would not be able to recognize him after some interactions.
He had decided to wait for the three men to leave before he switched to another direction to head toward Netherland Mountain.
"Who's there?!" Hayden shot a glare toward the dead tree.
Fane was taken aback as he did not expect Hayden to have such a sharp perception. Fane made no major movement, yet Hayden was able to sense him just by his sigh.
