Carson Flores directly committed suicide, an action taken out of helplessness.
The sudden appearance before indicated a Great Land Prime Immortal. If he fell into their hands, the option to die wouldn't be his anymore.
He couldn't guarantee the other party didn't have some mystical means, like the Soul Searching Technique, to extract information about his true self from his memories. Hence, Carson Flores always chose to commit suicide promptly.
Even if the opponent discovered that the deceased was merely a doppelganger, it didn't matter as the doppelganger had already served the purpose of deceiving the enemy. Turning back to search for the true self would be futile.
The Ethereal Pagoda was indeed an excellent hiding place.
Sect Master Brock searched around but couldn't find the whereabouts of Carson Flores and Niall Sinclair, his expression as grim as impending rain.
