Chapter 1234: Chapter 681: Collapse Chapter 1234: Chapter 681: Collapse Logan watched as the crowd one by one stated their positions, the corners of his mouth curling into an almost imperceptible smile.
He knew that although they spoke fair words, their hearts must still be fixated on the Divine Treasure Map.
However, this was within his expectations.
He waved his hand lightly, indicating that it was time for everyone to leave.
The people, as if granted amnesty, quickly made their goodbyes and turned to leave.
As they departed, they discussed among themselves, some lamenting their missed chance to glimpse the true face of the Divine Treasure Map, while others were relieved to have avoided getting entangled in a potential conflict.
Logan stood still, quietly watching everyone leave.
In his heart, he too was calculating how to better protect this precious Divine Treasure Map.
He knew that this blueprint was not only a guide to treasure but also a heavy responsibility.
Just as Logan was preparing to leave, he suddenly sensed an unusual aura. He whirled around to see Elder Talon Skyler standing not far away, gazing at him with a solemn expression.
“Elder Talon Skyler, why haven't you left yet?” Logan asked, somewhat surprised.
Elder Talon Skyler gave a wry smile and said, “I was intending to leave, but… alas, I didn't expect to be cornered by them.”
Logan's brow furrowed on hearing this. He had a vague feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed. He quickly stepped over to Elder Talon Skyler's side and asked in a low voice, “What's going on? Why have they cornered you?”
Elder Talon Skyler sighed and said, “It's because of the Divine Treasure Map. They know I once possessed this blueprint, so they want to come to me to see if they can get any clues or… make a copy.”
On hearing this, Logan felt a chill in his heart. He knew that the people from the Sects would likely stop at nothing to obtain the Divine Treasure Map. He looked at Elder Talon Skyler and asked, “Then what do you plan to do?”
Elder Talon Skyler smirked and said, “They can forget about it. I have already given the Divine Treasure Map to you, and it's impossible for me to give it to anyone else. If they really dare to attack me, I will just have to fight to the death.”
Logan nodded inwardly. He knew that although Elder Talon Skyler sometimes seemed cunning, he had integrity when it mattered most. He turned to those who had gathered from the Sects and spoke coldly, “What are you trying to do? Are you thinking of laying a hand on Elder Talon Skyler?”
The Sect members stopped in their tracks and looked at each other, unsure. Although they coveted the Divine Treasure Map, they dared not easily make a move against Logan and Elder Talon Skyler. After all, neither was one to trifle with, and angering them could lead to unthinkable consequences.
One of the Sect Elders, plucking up his courage, stepped forward and saluted Logan and Elder Talon Skyler, saying, “Lord Logan, Elder Talon Skyler, we mean no malice. It's just that… the Divine Treasure Map is just too important to us. We hope that you could… draw several copies for us. That way, we could let you be and not bother you anymore.”
Logan laughed coldly in response, “Do you think that the Divine Treasure Map is that easy to replicate? Even if we could make a copy, we would never give it to you. Just save yourselves the trouble and stop daydreaming here.”
Elder Talon Skyler also chuckled coldly, “You lot sure have made quite the calculation. Unfortunately, you've miscalculated. Although I, Elder Talon Skyler, am not a big shot, I won't just let myself be bullied. If you truly dare to attack me, then don't blame me for not being polite.”
The Sect members' expressions varied as they heard this. They knew that they were likely to gain nothing today. However, they were not willing to give up so easily. Thus, they started discussing among themselves, trying to find a way to get the Divine Treasure Map without offending Logan and Elder Talon Skyler.
However, Logan and Elder Talon Skyler did not give them the chance. They exchanged glances, and with a swift movement, they vanished from the spot like ghosts, leaving the Sect members standing dumbfounded.
Logan and Elder Talon Skyler sped away and soon left the vision of the Sect members behind. They found a concealed place and stopped.
“Elder Talon Skyler, are you all right?” Logan asked with concern.
Elder Talon Skyler shook his head, “I'm fine. It's just… do you really plan to search for the Divine Treasure Map alone?”
Logan was silent for a moment before replying, “Yes. I know that this Divine Treasure Map is not only an opportunity but also a challenge for me. I must search for it myself to uncover its secrets. Plus… I cannot let those Sect members get their hands on the blueprint.”
Elder Talon Skyler nodded and said, “Alright. Since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more. But… you must be careful. The Secret Land that the Divine Treasure Map points to will undoubtedly be fraught with dangers. You have to take good care of yourself and not worry me.”
Logan felt a warmth in his heart. He knew that despite Elder Talon Skyler's typically unreliable appearance, he was very caring at crucial moments. He looked at Elder Talon Skyler and smiled, “Don't worry, I'll be careful. And… I'm not so easily defeated. Those from the Sects, thinking they can take the Divine Treasure Map from me, are simply deluding themselves.”
After chatting for a while longer, they went their separate ways. Logan knew that the road ahead would be filled with unknowns and dangers. But he also knew that he had to bravely confront it all. Because… he believed in himself, in his strength and wisdom. And the Divine Treasure Map would become an important treasure in his life, guiding him towards an even more brilliant future.
