Gilmore's call was straightforward. He preferred that Crimson and the dozen other sect masters handle this issue

with Cedric behind closed doors.

They were to determine who had fabricated the lies and who had been

ceived by them.

In private, Cedric stood no chance against the combined force of Crimson and the dozen other sect masters.

The odds were stacked against Cedric, both in terms of numbers and strength.

Moreover, private resolution in this context didn’t imply amicable negotiations. It was more of a contest of

physical power.

The one with the mightier power would hold the truth.

Crimson and the dozen other sect masters were thrilled when they caught wind of Gilmore's choice to let them

sort things out with Cedric in private,

To them, it appeared to be a simple matter of resolving it in private.

They believed that the dozen or so sect masters were more than capable of dealing with Cedric,

With satisfied grins, Crimson, White, and the rest chimed in together, addressing Gilmore, “Thanks, Mr. Reed.

care of this problem on our own with Cedric.”

“And we'll make sure things get sorted out to your satisfaction, Mr. Reed.”

Gilmore gave a nod of approval and added, “Okay then, work it out among yourselves, and just givea heads-

up once you've got things figured out.”

Having said this, Gilmore turned and headed towards the group of martialists of the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect.

Subsequently, Gilmore approached Leland, Darius, and the others.

Leland and Darius couldn’t hide their relief.

They had been concerned that Cedric’s cunning words might persuade Gilmore to pardon him.

But now, they no longer felt that way.

Because Gilmore still had one more trick hidden. He had given the job to Crimson and the dozen other sect

masters to face off with Cedric

Remembering how Cedric’s messenger pigeons had lured the Dragonspire Mountains’ major sects to the

Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect, with the plan of employing a dozen sect masters to take down Gilmore.

But now, Gilmore had called on Crimson and a dozen other sect masters to deal with Cedric. It was a perfect

case of “an eye for an eye.

This unexpected twist brought immense joy to Leland, Darius, and the others.

As Gilmore rejoined the martialists of the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect, Crimson and the dozen sect masters stood up

from the ground.

Next, their piercing glares shifted straight onto Cedric, who had blended in with the sect martialists of their

In the sect masters’ eyes, a gleam of hatred and even a hint of murderous intent flickered.

As he met the fierce gaze of Crimson and the others, a shiver ran down Cedric’s spine.

Cedric was well aware that once Crimson and the others took action, they would undoubtedly kill him.

After all, he had just severely slandered them in front of Gilmore

What made matters even worse was that, like Cedric, their fate was also in Gilmore's hands.

Consequently, to secure their own survival, Crimson and his group would act swiftly, showing no mercy and

choosing to end his life.

Cedric’s heart was filled with an overwhelming sense of dread. However, even if he wanted to escape for his life,

there was no way to do so. Gilmore had sealed his acupoints, rendering him completely immobile.

In this dire situation, Cedric beca true sitting duck.

And suddenly, he comprehended the underlying motive behind Gilmore's unusual decision to release him

without significant punishment.

Gilmore hadn't pursued any further consequences for Cedric but had instead sealed his acupoints so that the

sole destiny awaiting Cedric was to meet his end at the hands of Crimson and the others.

Suddenly, Cedric realized that Gilmore was a master of psychological warfare.

Réflecting on his earlier attempts to frGilmore, Cedric found the irony laughable.

At this moment, Crimson and the dozen other sect masters had approached Cedric.

The look in Crimson and the others’ eyes was steeped in vengeance, and they confronted Cedric with accusing

questions. “Cedric, it was undeniably your messenger pigeons that brought us the letter. Why did you falsely

accuse us?”

“What did you mean by that?”

“If it weren't for those messages you sent through messenger pigeons, accusing Mr. Reed of scheming against

the four major sects and swiping your Secret Map, we wouldn't have found ourselves in this mess, would we?”

That's right, if it weren't for Cedric’s pigeon-delivered messages, they wouldn't have been tempted or gathered

their forces to make their way to Phoenix Peak.

They wouldn't have suffered the humiliation of defeat and the subsequent act of begging for mercy at Gilmore's

feet.

To Crimson and the rest of the sect masters, Cedric was the one who had triggered this entire mess.

Cedric, confronted with the furious rants from Crimson and the rest, went white as a sheet, his voice shaking.

“Gentlemen.... It's all just a horrible misunderstanding!

“Please, please don’t kill me. It's all my fault...

Bang!

Before Cedric’s last plea could even escape his lips, a fierce blow from Crimson had already struck his chest.

Cedric’s

‘s eyes widened, agony etched across his face.

And then, with a splatter, Cedric coughed up a gush of blood.

His entire body collapsed to the ground, life extinguished.

Even in death, Cedric’s eyes remained wide open, as if he refused to accept his fate.

The martialists from various sects, along with those of the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect, watched as Cedric took his

final breath under the hand of Crimson.

Amidst their astonishment, there was no sympathy for Cedric’s death.

Because Cedric had betrayed his alliances, displaying cunning and deceitful traits.

The martialists from the major sects held a deep disdain for him, and that’s an understatement.

Even the martialists of the Sunsbury’s Dragon Sect and those who were originally from the four major sects

didn’t have much love for Cedric

To them, he was the sly and scheming scion of the Phoenix Sect the architect of countless plots and intrigues.

Naturally, Cedric’s overbearing and cocky attitude hadn't done him any filvors with the martialists of the Phoenix

Sect,

either.

Leland, Darius, and their group felt a sense of relief upon seeing Cedric’s demise.

Cedric had a long history of causing trouble alongside Gilmore. But now, thanks to Crimson, whom Cedric had

personally invited, Cedric’s finally met his end.

In the eyes of Leland and the others, Cedric got what was coming to him.

Following Cedric’s demise, Crimson and the other sect masters approached Gilmore and, with a respectful bow,

conveyed their regret, “Mr. Reed, we're truly sorry for buying into Cedric’s deceit. It caused us to unknowingly

offend you

“We've uncovered the truth and dealt with that deceitful villain, Cedric. We trust this will soothe any ill feelings

you might have, Mr. Reed”

A smile graced Gilmore's lips as he replied, “No need for all the formalities, gentlemen. We've got everything

sorted out.” “Since it was just a misunderstanding and now it’s cleared, we, all from the Dragonspire Mountains’

sects, should foster lasting friendship and together uphold justice and peace in the Dragonspire Mountains.”

Although these words might seem like empty official rhetoric, to Crimson and the dozen other sect masters, they

resonated like a celestial melody, bringing profound satisfaction.

They had, after all, crossed Gilmore first. Gilmore could have easily chosen to exact vengeance, but he didn’t.

His simple “No need for all the formalities had a soothing effect on Crimson and the others.

Gilmore's offer of forging a lasting friendship and working together to uphold justice and peace in the

Dragonspire Mountains filled them with hope.

And of course, Gilmore's ability to let bygones be bygones with such a magnanimous spirit earned him the

genuine admiration of Crimson and the others.

Deep down, they made an unspoken promise to themselves that they'd never go against Gilmore, no matter

what.

They weren't stupid. They were well aware of Gilmore's immense power. Taking on Gilmore would be like asking

trouble.

Filled with profound respect and sincerity, Crimson and the dozen other sect masters extended their gratitude to

Gilmore. “Mr. Reed, we can’t thank you enough for your generosity. In the days ahead, we're more than ready to

forge a strong friendship with you and collaborate to uphold justice and peace in the Dragonspire Mountains.”
