Making 295


    The following day, at noon, in Cloudar, atop Crane Peak, in the headquarters of the Crane Sect….


    The ancient trees were lush and verdant, while grand pces and pavilions towered above,


    At that moment, at the Crane Sect’s gate, Alexander sat cross–legged with his eyes closed on a


    nine–story wooden pavilion,


    He ced his hands on his knees and began to meditate.


    Suddenly, he heard the buzzing sound of a helicopter flying in the sky,


    Then, he opened his eyes.


    He saw five helicopters flying toward the Crane Peak.


    He looked at the model of the helicopters and immediately recognized that they belonged to the five


    noble sects.


    He couldn’t help but think to himself, “Why did the leaders of the five noble sects suddenlye


    here? Could it be that something big has happened?”


    While he was wondering, the five helicopters hadnded on the square one after another.


    After theynded, the five leaders disembarked, and the members of the Crane Sect quickly


    approached to greet them.


    Then, martialists from the Crane Sect led the five leaders to the pavilion where Alexander was


    meditating.


    “Master, leaders from five prestigious sects havee to meet with you,” the martialists of the


    Crane Sect led them to the pavilion’s front and informed Alexander,


    Alexander promptly rose from his seat and made his way to the attic’s balcony. Gripping the railing,


    he gazed down at the five sect leaders below, wearing a weing smile. “Please bring them


    inside!”


    Nichs and the others smiled and waved up at Alexander in a friendly greeting.


    Soon, they came upstairs.


    “Gentlemen, please take a seat” Alexander motioned toward the chairs in the room.


    Nichs and the others then sat down.


    While Alexander prepared coffee for them, he inquired, “Gentlemen, what brings you here? This is


    quite unusual.”


    However, after hearing what Alexander said, Nichs and the others all revealed puzzled


    expressions.


    Nichs couldn’t resist asking, “Master Weston, didn’t you invite us here, mentioning something


    important to discuss?”

    Alexander looked stunned, “I invited you here? Are you kidding me?”


    However, Nichs and the other four leaders looked solemn. Nichs said to Alexander, “We’re not


    joking. Spencer from the Dragon Tiger Hall called us.


    “He told us toe to the Crane Sect. He said that it’s necessary for all five prestigious sects to


    meet here. He also mentioned that the four major sects from the central region have an important


    matter to discuss with us.”


    Alexander looked at the other four sect leaders, who all nodded solemnly at him.


    It meant that what Nichs said was true.


    Alexander was shocked-“But why didn’t Spencer tell me this?”


    Only then did the five leaders realize that Alexander actually didn’t know anything.


    Then, Nichs thought of something and said to Alexander, “Maybe Spencer wants to give you a


    surprise.”


    The others echoed, “That’s right, it must be the reason.”


    As they chatted, the faint sound of a distant helicopter drifted through the sky.


    Alexander, Nichs, and the others couldn’t help but look up at the sky.


    In the distance, there were three ck dots moving slowly.


    Soon, they spotted the three ck dots, which turned out to be three helicopters.


    The humming of the helicopters grew louder.


    With a loud noise, the three helicopters swiftly approached the Crane Sect and touched down in the


    square.


    Only then did Alexander, Nichs, and the others in the attice to their senses. Needless to say,


    the leaders of the four noble sects in the central region must have arrived.


    “It seems like the four sect leaders have arrived,” said Nichs as he looked at Alexander.


    Alexander said, “Gentlemen, please sit here for a moment. I will go and wee our guests.”


    With that, he got up and went downstairs.


    Nichs and the other four sect leaders could only sit in the attic and wait.


    Around 10 minutester, the sound of someone ascending the stairs became audible.


    Alexander brought Spencer, Troy, Yvan, and Tom upstairs.


    In addition to the four leaders, there were also some Presbyters from the Four Noble Sects–a total


    of more than a dozen people.


    Nichs and the other four sect leaders immediately stood up from their seats and nodded


    respectfully toward them. “Greetings!”


    Spencer and the other three also nodded in response.


    “Gentlemen, please have a seat!” Alexander warmly invited them to sit down.


    Spencer and the other three sat down on the chairs, and the Presbyters of the four noble sects also


    sat down on the chairs.


    Despite the presence of nearly 20 people in the attic, it was quite roomy, and they didn’t feel


    cramped.


    Alexander served everyone coffee.


    After sipping his coffee and clearing his throat, Alexander turned to Spencer and remarked, “Mr.


    Lloyd, the visit of the four central region sects to the Crane Sect today truly honors our sect.


    “I heard from Nichs that you have something important to tell us. Is it true?”


    Nichs and the others turned their attention to Spencer as well. They were equally curious about


    why the four central region sects were seeking them out.


    Spencer nodded and said, “Yes, we do have something important to tell you”


    Then, he took out a letter and ced it on the table in front of Alexander. “You may want to take a


    look at this


    In a state of confusion, Alexander took the letter and extracted two folded sheets of paper from the


    envelope,


    When he unfolded it, the first thing he saw was a paper with rare pieces of Renaissance art printed


    on it.


    Wasn’t this the duplicate that Liam and David had sent to him and the other five leaders?


    He couldn’t help but nce at Spencer, thinking, “Could it be that the Four Noble Sects also


    received letters from Liam and David?”


    With this question in mind, Alexander then opened the letter again.


    The letter read: “The expression is clear and urate. It conveys the idea that the Treasure Map,


    which had been missing for many years, hase into the possession of someone known as ck


    Eagle Master. Decades earlier, the Treasure Map had led to a violent and deadly conflict in the


    world.


    “ck Eagle Master incapacitated Tristan, the leader of Star Gate, and took control himself. He also


    subdued the six major sects, including the Crane Sect and the Nine Cauldrons Sect, with the aim of


    seizing control of Oakhaven and establishing dominance in the martial arts world.


    “In order to prevent the sects from fighting for the Treasure Map.


    “Hence, Four Noble Sects, please kill ck Eagle Master, the leader of Star Gate, and from then


    on, the Treasure Map will be jointly controlled by the four sects.


    “Oakhaven’s six major sects could survive and the martial arts world could be at peace.


    “The letter includes a copy of the Treasure Map. It’s from Gilmore, who gave Ken Davis rare pieces


    of Renaissance art.


    “You could go to the Davis family to verify this and know that rare pieces of Renaissance art are fine


    pieces.


    “You could ask Oakhaven’s six major sects about the details.”


    At the end of the letter, there was a signature: “A person who is worried about the martial arts


    world“.


    After reading it, Alexander couldn’t help but be stunned. This letter wasn’t written by Liam or David.


    But who was this person who was worried about the martial arts world?
