Chapter 1235 - Chapter 1235 Chapter 681 Collapse_2

Chapter 1235: Chapter 681: Collapse_2 Chapter 1235: Chapter 681: Collapse_2 “There’s no choice, who would have thought Logan would be so strong? None of us is his match, so we have no option but to set our sights on you. Blame your bad luck!” said a Sect Elder with a helpless shake of his head, his tone revealing a touch of unwillingness and helplessness. They had originally thought that with the alliance of many sects, they could at least get a share of the spoils from Logan, but they never expected Logan’s strength to be so formidable that they found no opportunity to take advantage of him.

Upon hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler nearly burst a blood vessel in anger. He clenched his fist so tightly that his fingernails dug into his palms, as if trying to suppress the rage boiling within. His eyes widened in fury as he glared at the few Sect Elders before him, his voice low and trembling, “You… you actually set your sights on me? Do you have any idea who I am? I am Elder Talon Skyler, how dare you be so presumptuous!”

“Elder Talon Skyler, please don’t be angry,” another Sect Elder quickly explained, “We didn’t mean to target you intentionally. It’s just… the Divine Treasure Map is just too important. We just can’t bear to give up like this.”

“Can’t bear it? So you thought you could come to me?” Elder Talon Skyler shouted in anger, “Do you think I’m easy to bully? I’ll tell you, although I, Elder Talon Skyler, usually stay out of worldly affairs, I am not a pushover that you can just manipulate at will!”

The Sect Elders looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. They knew that while Elder Talon Skyler seemed mysterious, his strength was not to be underestimated. And indeed, their actions today were somewhat rash, to have set their sights on Elder Talon Skyler.

“Elder Talon Skyler, please don’t misunderstand,” hurriedly explained another Sect Elder, “We’re not here to cause you trouble. It’s just… we wanted to know if you could tell us something about the contents of the Divine Treasure Map? Or maybe… perhaps draw a copy for us? We guarantee we will not leak it to anyone.”

“Hmph! Do you think I’m so easily deceived?” Elder Talon Skyler snorted coldly, “I’ll have you know, I’ve already memorized the entire contents of the Divine Treasure Map. If I share it with you sects, wouldn’t my chances of finding it become even slimmer? Why should I help you?”

The Sect Elders’ faces changed upon hearing this. They hadn’t expected Elder Talon Skyler to have already memorized the contents of the Divine Treasure Map. Their already slim hopes faded even further.

“Elder Talon Skyler, please don’t be like this,” pleaded a Sect Elder, “We really need that Divine Treasure Map. If you would help us, we would surely be forever grateful.”

“Grateful? I don’t need your gratitude!” Elder Talon Skyler gritted his teeth and enunciated each word, “There’s no way I’m going to draw the Divine Treasure Map for you. Forget it. To give you the Divine Treasure Map? You must be dreaming!”

In his eyes shone a steadfastness and determination never seen before. Seeing Elder Talon Skyler’s resolute stance, the Sect Elders knew that persistence was futile. With a sigh of resignation, they turned and walked away.

Elder Talon Skyler watched their retreating figures, a mix of indescribable anger and helplessness welling up inside him. He knew that today’s incident was only a temporary lull, and those people from the sect would not let matters rest. They would undoubtedly do everything in their power to get the contents of the Divine Treasure Map.

Thinking this, Elder Talon Skyler furrowed his brow. He took a deep breath to calm his emotions. He knew he had to remain calm and clear-headed to face whatever might come next.

He then began to carefully recollect every detail and clue from the Divine Treasure Map. He wanted to etch the information deeply into his mind to ensure he wouldn’t forget any detail. At the same time, he was thinking about how to deal with the threats and challenges from those Sect people.

He knew this would be a long and hard fight. But he also believed in his own strength and wisdom. He was convinced that as long as he persevered, he would surely be able to find the treasure indicated by the Divine Treasure Map, and guard the honor and dignity that was rightfully his.

“If that’s the case, then blame us not for showing no mercy, for you have such a treasure on you and did not inform us!” A Sect Elder’s lips curled into a cold sneer, with a glint of greed flashing in his eyes. He eyed Elder Talon Skyler intently, as if he had already seen the Divine Treasure Map in his hands.

“Yeah, Elder Talon, even if your strength is formidable, you can’t possibly be a match for so many of us.” Another Sect Elder chimed in, his voice full of threat and provocation, “We advise you to hand over the Divine Treasure Map willingly and spare yourself the agony.”

“After all, with your ability alone, you surely can’t get there! So you might as well draw it out for us, and together we can achieve greatness!” Another Sect Elder spoke up, his tone laced with a hint of seduction, attempting to persuade Elder Talon Skyler to give up resistance.

Elder Talon Skyler, hearing these words, became so furious that his complexion turned ashen, as if he was about to spit blood. He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails digging deep into his palms, holding back his inner rage and humiliation. He glared with wide eyes at the Sect Elders before him, his voice low and trembling, “You… you are being preposterously arrogant! I, Elder Talon Skyler, may not be talented, but I will not let you bully me!”

“Bully? Hmph! We never said that,” a Sect Elder with a sneer retorted, “We merely wish to obtain that Divine Treasure Map, and if you cooperate, we naturally won’t make things difficult for you.”

“Cooperate? You’re forcing me!” Elder Talon Skyler roared in anger, “I’ll tell you, that Divine Treasure Map is my treasured possession, and I absolutely will not hand it over to you!”

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Sect Elders changed. They hadn’t expected Elder Talon Skyler to refuse their demand so resolutely. They exchanged glances, each feeling a surge of anger.

“Elder Talon, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!” a Sect Elder shouted angrily, “With so many of us, do you think we can’t subdue just one of you?”

“Subdue me? Just try!” Elder Talon Skyler ground his teeth, his figure shook, and a powerful aura emanated from him. He glared with wide eyes at the Sect Elders before him, as if he intended to devour them whole.

The Sect Elders felt the powerful aura radiating from Elder Talon Skyler and couldn’t help but feel a bit of fear. However, they also knew that if they couldn’t obtain the Divine Treasure Map today, all their efforts thus far would have been in vain.

So, they looked at each other and one by one, drew their weapons. In an instant, the gleam of swords flickered, and the air was thick with the intent to kill. They surrounded Elder Talon Skyler, forming a massive encirclement.

Elder Talon Skyler, seeing the actions of the Sect Elders, felt a surge of indescribable fury and humiliation. He clenched his fists, his fingernails digging deep into his palms, as if trying to suppress the rising anger within him. He knew that today, a fierce battle was likely unavoidable.

“Come at me then! I, Elder Talon Skyler, am not afraid to fight!” With a bellow, he moved instantly, charging at the Sect Elders like a specter. In no time, sword light crisscrossed and the sounds of battle filled the air. The two sides engaged in fierce combat.

Though Elder Talon Skyler was advanced in years, his strength remained formidable. Wielding his longsword gracefully, his movements were like a dance. Each stroke of his sword contained immense power, overwhelming the Sect Elders.

However, the Sect Elders were no ordinary opponents. Each exhibited their own unique skills, clashing fiercely with Elder Talon Skyler.
