The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 2109

Noel looked at Fane in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly asked about Elder Godfrey, but he still answered his question, "We have a total of eleven formal elders. Based on ranking, Elder Godfrey is the eleventh formal elder. However, he is quite talented. The ranking of the formal elders is ranked according to their strength. It is estimated that it will not take long before Elder Godfrey becomes one of the top three formal elders.”

Fane nodded, and after a light sigh, he continued to ask, "Then, have any of the formal elders had a conflict with each other?"

Noel picked his teacup and took a sip. "Why do you ask? How do you know Elder Godfrey anyways?"

Fane cleared his throat, touched his nose, and said, "I saw Elder Godfrey while I was in Dual Sovereign City. It's funny now that I think about it. I knew him to be a formal elder by the way he was dressed but didn’t know which formal elder he was. I only found out his name when the person next to him told me."

Noel seemed to be satisfied with the explanation and did not press any further. Instead, he answered Fane’s previous questions. "If you’re looking for the reason for conflicts within the formal elders, my guess is the fight over who gets to be the head of the Clan association."

Fane's eyes widened. Seeing this, Noel laughed. He was sure Fane knew nothing about this and proceeded to tell him the whole story. It turned out that the head of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion was already advancing in age and intended to abdicate. He would then be promoted to a supreme elder allowing him to focus on his cultivation, so the position of the head has become the goal of the formal elders.

Noel nodded but then shook his head. "Yes and no. While his vote is important, it’s still too early to say that whoever he chooses will for sure be the next head but as long as Elder Godfrey makes a choice, the scale will be favorable toward the side he had chosen."

Even Brook could tell what was at stake for everyone. Realization suddenly dawned on Fane, when he recalled Elder Godfrey's strange expression and the way he was asking whether Thousand Leaves Pavilion did anything about the Corpse Pavilion.

He was sure that the Dual Sovereign Pavilion had long known about what was going on in Mount Beasts and that was why they did not do anything about it.
