Chapter 567

Gilmore didn’t immediately respond to Leland’s proposal, nor did he acknowledge the for blood from the martialists

of the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect.

Instead, he walked towards Crimson, White and the dozen other sect masters, who were still lying on the ground.

The dozen sect masters were relatively close to each other in their prone positions.

So as Gilmore approached them, a wave of fear washed over Crimson and the dozen other sect masters.

Their hearts raced, and their faces turned pale.

Their first thought was that Gilmore might take advantage of this opportunity to end their lives.

With each step Gilmore took, the dozen sect masters including Crimson Anxiously struggled to sit up and move backward.

However, no matter how they retreated, Gilmore closed the gap until he stood before them.

They realized that attempting to flee would be in vain as long as Gilmore intended to end them. After all, Gilmore could effortlessly earch and eliminate them.

Gilmore fixed his gaze on the faces of Crimson, White, and the others, asking. “Do you still want to stand for the four major sects and uphold justice for the Dragonspire Mountains?

Do you still want to eliminate a villain like me?”

Crimson, White, and the others wore pale complexions on their faces.

Previously, they persistently advocated for the eradication of the villain Gilmore in the name of justice and righteousness.

They had accused Gilmore of various crimes, seeking to justify their intent to kill him in order to obtain the Secret Map of the four major sects.

However, now they find themselves at Gilmore’s mercy, their fates hanging by the thread of his decision.

They dared not show defiance, let alone mention justice or righteousness or call Gilmore a villain.

Crimson stared at Gilmore with a mixture of fear and remorse, then dropped to his knees, bowing and pleading, “Mr. Reed, please… spare us!

“We were wrong. We weren’t acting in the name of justice, we… we were only after the Secret Map of the four major sects.

“We deserve death. Please, Mr. Reed, show mercy!”

White and the other sect masters, overwhelmed by fear, joined Crimson in begging Gilmore for mercy, Mr. Reed, we beg for your forgiveness. Please spare our lives!

“From this moment onward, none of our major sects dared to confront the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect in any showdown.”

“Mr. Reed, should you ever issue a command in the future, we will be ready to brave all challenges, even if it means traversing the most treacherous of paths!”

To save their lives, the dozen sect masters who had previously been proud and righteous immediately transformed into servants, desperately trying to please and appease Gilmore.

As their sect masters all pleaded with Gilmore for mercy, the martialists from various major sects were left utterly stunned.

They couldn’t believe that their normally lofty sect masters were how kneeling before Gilmore, begging for forgiveness.

11 was truly a paradigm shift in their understanding of the world

Likewise, Cedric, one of the martialists among them, had his worldview shattered.

With over a dozen sect masters begging Gilmore for mercy, Cede suddenly felt that he had made a grave mistake by sending secret messages via messenger pigeons to these sect masters for help.

It turned out that not only were these sect masters no match for Cilmore, but they were also utterly afraid of tleath, to the

extreme.

This had brought great disgrace upon their respective sects.

Cedric realized that these cowardly sect masters would never seek vengeance for the four major sects.

Therefore, taking advantage of everyone’s attention being focused on the prostrating sect masters and Gilmore, Cedric silently made his exit.

However, Cedric hadn’t taken more than a few steps when a sharp whistling sound pierced the air.

An astonishing surge of energy struck him, instantly sealing a vital acupoint on his body.

Cedric stiffened instantly, unable to move or escape.

“Where do you think you’re going. Mr. Lopez?” At that very moment, a voice laced with a mocking tone rang out.

The speaker was none other than Gilmore.

Indeed, Cedric thought he could slip away unnoticed.

But Gilmore had been vigilant

Seeing Cedric attempting to escape, Gilmore effortlessly sealed one of his acupoints with a flick of his finger, releasing a surge of energy that pierced through the air.

Cedric’s face turned ashen

He had never expected that his attempt to sneak away would be detected by Gilmore.

With his acupoint sealed by Gilmore, Cedric was immobilized, and his fate seemed Facing this dire situation, Cedric was filled with an overwhelming sense of panic.

grin

Like Crimson and the other sect masters, Cedric began to plead with Gilmore. “Mr. Reed, 1 was foolish and should not have believed the lies of Crimson, White, and the others, tarnishing your reputation.

“Please, Mr. Reed, for my unwavering loyalty to you, spare my life!”

When Cedric uttered the word “unwavering loyalty“, the expressions on the faces of Leland, Darius, and all the martialists from the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect displayed unmistakable shock.

Just a moment ago, Cedric had stood before Crimson, White, and other sect masters, accusing Gilmore of scheming to take over the four major sects and stealing their Secret Map.

It seemed Cedric aimed to use Crimson and the dozen other sec masters to place Gilmore in a precarious situation.

Is this what Cedric referred to as “unwavering loyalty“?

Chapter 567

Gilmore gazed at Cedrie with a faint smile. “Cedric, did I ever say I would kill you?

“Your loyalty to me is clear, and I acknowledge it.

“So, in recognition of your loyalty, I won’t take your life.

Cedric was overjoyed to hear this and hastily expressed his gratitude to Gilmore. “Thank you, Mr. Reed, for sparing my life. I’m willing to be forever loyal to you, to the very end!”

Seeing Gilmore spare Cedric, Leland, Darius, and the others were deeply anxious.

In their view, Cedric had plotted to bring Gilmore to the brink of death. Allowing Cedric to go scot–free seemed like an undeserved favor.

Just as Leland and Darius were about to say something to Gilmore, Gilmore’s gaze shifted to Crimson and White, and Gilmore coldly declared. “Did you all hear that?

“Cedric claims he believed your lies, which led to the false accusations of me plotting against the four major sects and seizing their Secret Map.

“If that’s the case, I might not be able to let you off so easily.”

Crimson, White, and the other sect masters had been indignant at Cedric’s accusations.

Now, hearing that Gilmore might not spare them due to their involvement in Cedric’s deception, they were in a state of panic.

Crimson promptly addressed Gilmore, saying, “Mr. Reed, you must not believe Cedric’s words.

“The messenger pigeons carried letters signed by him personally, and all of us, the sect masters of more than a dozen sects, received his messages.

“We wouldn’t all conspire to defame him, would we?

“It was the messages delivered by Cedric’s messenger pigeons that misled us, causing us to believe in his falsehood and, as a result, unintentionally offending you, Mr. Reed.

White and the other sect masters swiftly rallied behind Crimson’s testimony, addressing Gilmore, “Mr. Reed, Mr. Sunglow is right. We were all just deceived by Cedric’s lies!”

“Mr. Reed, please judge fairly!”

“Mr. Reed, you must not trust Cedric’s baseless claims.”

Gilmore remained composed, adopting a contemplative expression, and then said, “It seems like a classic case of “he said,

she said.

“Since that’s the case, you should resolve this among yourselves

“After you’ve figured out who spread the lies and who believed them, come back and inform me.”

Upon hearing this, Cedric felt a sudden sense of foreboding.

He realized that things might not be going in his favor.
