Chapter 572

But Gilmore said sincerely to the sect masters, “Gentlemen, I’m not being polite.

“All of the Dragonspire Mountains‘ sects are now one family.

“I consider you all to be like my own kin

The respect and prestige you hold within the Dragonspire Mountains far surpass my own as a young man.

“Matters as significant as searching for the Dragonspire Ruins and the Cultivation Realm should naturally be presided over and decided by individuals of your stature and reputation.

“As a junior, I can only offer my assistance when needed”

With each word, Gilmore’s expressions of unity and familial ties, along with his reference to them as elders, warmed the hearts of Crimson and the other sect masters.

Crimson and the dozen other sect masters really liked the compliments, which gave them this cozy, almost dreamy sensation, like floating on a comfy, fluffy cloud

It was akin to lounging in a soft, inviting nest made of cotton.

They hadn’t expected that Gilmore could be so open–minded and forward–thinking.

Despite their earlier offense, he didn’t regard them as enemies.

They now understood that he genuinely wanted them to be in charge of the Dragonspire Ruins Map

Overwhelmed with joy, Crimson, his voice filled with flattery, told him, “Mr. Reed, you’re a true hero in the martial world. with impressive generosity and extraordinary insight. You are incomparable to anyone of our time.

“But I’m just a sect master of a small sect. A treasure as precious as the Dragonspire Ruins Map should be under the care of young heroes like yourself. Mr. Reed.

“I and the other sect masters can never compare to your power, generosity, and insight.”

Crimson’s compliments might have flattered Gilmore a bit, but they couldn’t cloud his judgment.

He didn’t require such exaggerated praise. Terms like “hero in the martial world“, “impressive generosity and extraordinary insight“, and “young hero” weren’t enough to dazzle him.

Gilmore’s decision to entrust the Dragonspire Ruins Map to Crimson and the others was based on more practical considerations rather than any abstract and pointless notions like “impressive generosity” or “extraordinary insight“.

He wanted Crimson and the others to use the map as a guide, effectively sending them as his scouts to the Dragonspire Ruins.

He was just treating them like guinea pigs.

He then turned to Crimson, his face darkening, and spoke in a tone that feigned displeasure. “Mr. Sunglow, if you insist on refusing the Dragonspire Ruins Map, I won’t have the qualifications to oversee it either.

“In that case, I won’t keep the map and might as well return it to the four major sects, Jordan for example.”

Gilmore’s declaration left Crimson and the others feeling like ants on a hot plate, scurrying in panic.

“What? Return the Dragonspire Ruins Map to Jordan and the four major sects?” they all thought at once.

If Gilmore actually did this, it would shatter the hopes of Crimson and the others.

And it would mean that their trip to the Phoenix Peak would be a total waste.

Crimson and his companions were far from willing to let the bird fly away like this.

Crimson quickly put on a humble face and said to him, “Since you say so, Mr. Reed, I won’t refuse this generous offer

anymore.

“For now, I’ll keep the Dragonspire Ruins Map on your behalf, Mr. Reed. Anytime you wish to take control or use it, I’ll return it to you.

Gilmore, with a confident air, responded, “Return it for what? From now on, it’s in your hands, Mr. Sunglow, and there’s n need to return it to me.

This declaration delighted Crimson, leaving him thrilled and almost floating on air.

“Mr. Reed, you’re truly a hero of our time. I have great admiration for you,” Crimson stated with a deep bow to him.

Gilmore waved his hand and said, “Mr. Sunglow, you’re too kind!

He then pointed toward Jordan and the other sect masters of the four major sect masters in the distance, saying. “Gentlemen, these people are my sworn enemies.

“I can’t leave them in the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect. It’s up to you to decide whether to take them in or send them away.

only hope that they won’t cause any more trouble for me in the future. If they do, I’ll have no choice but to kill them. Gilmore put on a face of sorrow and compassion.

This made Crimson and the other sect masters even more impressed with him.

They never expected Gilmore to be so kind and compassionate,

Jordan and his group were clearly Gilmore’s enemies, yet Gilmore held no grudge and spared their lives.

Gilmore even advised Crimson and the others to take Jordan and his companions away and made it clear that their fates were in their hands.

This level of kindness was rare,

Gilmore now seemed to be a saint to Crimson and the others.

However, to Jordan and the other sect masters of the four major sects, Gilmore’s saintly actions were nothing short of a descent into hell.

That was because Gilmore had already handed the Dragonspire Ruins Map to Crimson and the dozen other sect masters, and now he was turning over Jordan and his group as well.

It was like throwing them to the wolves.

After all, the Secret Map that Crimson and the others had obtained belonged to the four major sects. There was no way they would let Jordan and the others, the original owners of that man survive.

They would likely eliminate any competition and seize the Dragonspire Ruins Map completely

Jordan and his group understood that once they fell into Crimson’s hands, they would have no hope of surviving.

But even if they knew how terrible it would be, they couldn’t prevent it.

Their wrists and ankles were, shackled with thousand–year–old black iron cuffs, rendering them like prisoners.

Most importantly, several of their acupoints had been sealed at an unknown time.

A strange energy blocked their acupoints, rendering them incapable of circulating their internal mana.

Little did they know that Gilmore had injected his anima into several of their acupoints after incapacitating them, sealing their Martial King internal mana within.

They had become, in essence, powerless prisoners.

Handing them over to Crimson and the others in such a state would render them utterly defenseless if the other party chose to harm them.

Yet. Crimson, White, and the others couldn’t hide their sly smiles.

They all turned to Gilmore and said in unison, “Mr. Reed, please rest assured. We will handle Mr. Lopez properly.”

Gilmore responded to the sect masters, “Thank you, gentlemen.

With this, the matter of Jordan and his group being handed over to Crimson and the other sect masters was settled.

Jordan and the others were quite anxious.

Gilmore then continued. “As for the Dragonspire Ruins Map, you shall be its keepers. When you decide to look for the Dragonspire Ruins, please notify me.

“When that day comes, I will do my best and go with you to search for the ruins.”

Crimson and the other sect masters, now in possession of the Dragonspire Ruins Map, felt that their mission to the Phoenix Peak had been accomplished.

They all assured Gilmore in unison, “Mr. Reed, we will discuss and decide when to search for the Dragonspire Ruins as soon as possible.

“When the time comes, we will inform you the very

“Mr. Reed, we shall leave now.”

Gilmore then bid them farewell “Gentlemen, we’ll meet again when we set out to find the Dragonspire Ruins.”

“Mr. Reed, until we meet again.”

Crimson and the dozen other sect masters said their goodbyes to Gilmore.

And then they began to lead the martialists from their respective sects away from the rear side of the Phoenix Peak

Of course, as the martialists from various sects departed, Crimson and the other sect masters didn’t forget about the four major sect masters, including Jordan, as well as the three scions like Wyatt.

Following Crimson’s orders, some martialists moved to take Jordan and the rest away.

Jordan and his group, of course, protested vehemently. “Crimson, let go of me!

“You can’t take me away!

“I’m staying in the Phoenix Sect!”

But no matter how Jordan and his group protested, Crimson and the other sect masters paid it no mind.

Jordan and his group, shackled like prisoners, were forcibly taken away by the martialists from various sects.

Soon, thousands of people from the various sects poured out of the Phoenix Peak like a tidal wave.

Gilmore instructed Leland and Darius to command all the martialists of Sunsbury’s I

and return to their sect.

Finally, the rear mountain fell silent, with only Gilmore, Leland, Darius, Emma, Christine, Yolanda, and Daphne remaining.

The four young women–Emma, Christine, Yolanda, and Daphne–were full of admiration for Gilmore’s wisdom in easily resolving the crisis and preventing a clash between the other sects and Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect.

They had great admiration for his skill, courage, and abilities.

They looked at him with tender affection and admiration.

Yes, Gilmore was their great hero.
