Of course, Gilmore didn’t rely on sensing the energy in the jade casket to determine the authenticity of the Secret Map.

Instead, he used his God’s Eye to ascertain its true nature.

However, he fabricated the story about sensing the energy of the jade casket to convince Leland and Darius.

Upon hearing Gilmore’s explanation, Leland and Darius suddenly understood.

They no longer doubted the situation and nodded in agreement

Because they undeniably sensed an unusual energy fluctuation emanating from the silk fabric within the jade casket.

Furthermore, the truthfulness of Cedric’s words remained subject to verification.

After all, the Secret Map passed down through the ages was a truly unique treasure acquired by Emperor Cosmo, Cosmo Lopez, a millennium ago.

Thus, it wasn’t entirely surprising that the four major sects had taken measures to protect the real Secret Map by creating a fake duplicate, concealed within another gold casket.

However, when Leland and Darius learned that Gilmore had ventured into the Thousand–Foot Frigid Abyss alone, retrieved the jade casket containing the real Secret Map, and brought it back ahead of schedule, they couldn’t help but admire him.

Because Gilmore had previously stated that he would only retrieve the treasure map from the frigid abyss tomorrow, his decision to do so ahead of schedule seemed to hint at a hidden agenda.

Suddenly, Leland seemed to have an insight and looked at Gilmore, asking, “Mr. Reed, did you let Cedric go on purpose because you already knew he was sending secret messages to the Dragonspire Mountains‘ major sects?

“Tomorrow, even if the Dragonspire Mountains‘ major sects come here for the Secret Map, they’ll only obtain the fake one from the abyss!”

Gilmore nodded in agreement and replied, “Exactly. Since I’ve already acquired the real Secret Map, I released Cedric because he had already sent secret messages to the Dragonspire Mountains‘ major sects.

“There’s no way to stop those sects from coming to Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect.

“Now, we can openly let them come, knowing they’ll obtain a fake map.

“In addition, we can use that fake map to lead members of the other sects to eliminate Cedric and his associates.”

Leland’s and Darius’s eyes lit up, now understanding why Gilmore had let Cedric go.

It turned out that Mr. Reed had already devised a clever plan.

“Mr. Reed, what should we do tomorrow?” Leland asked Gilmore with utmost seriousness. Gilmore looked at Leland and Darius and replied, “Here’s the plan. Tomorrow, we’re going to Gilmore proceeded to explain his strategy in detail to Leland and Darius, outlining every step. After listening. Leland and Darius nodded in agreement, saying, “Underst

Mr. Reed. We know what to do,”

As Gilmore, Leland, and Darius discussed their plan for dealing with the Dragonspire Mountains‘ major sects and handling Cedric and his associates, the Dragonspire Mountains‘ major secs had already received the carrier pigeons bearing handwritten letters from Cedric from Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect.

Upon learning that Gilmore had plans to devour the four major sects and seize their Secret Map, panic and concern spread like wildfire among the Dragonspire Mountains‘ major sects.

These sect masters convened their top disciples and discussed how to respond to this alarming situation caused by Gilmore.

After a night of deliberation, the consensus among these sect masters was almost unanimous: they couldn’t afford to lose the Secret Map, an ancient relic left behind by Emperor Cosmo a millennium ago.

The map was shrouded in mystery and unparalleled in rarity, a treasure they couldn’t relinquish,

As the sun began to rise, the elite disciples from these sects mobilized and set out for Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect, ostensibly in the name of assisting the four major sects in eliminating Gilmore but, in reality, with the aim of capturing the Secret Map.
