Chapter 522
“I heard snoises coming from the rear mountain.”
“Quick, let's go check it out.”
Dozens of men swiftly flew toward the cliff of the rear mountain
They were led by Leland, Waldo, and several sect elders.
They were heading there because the martialists guarding the cave on the rear mountain reported to Waldo that
Gilmore suddenly fell ill.
Waldo then reported the matter to Leland.
Therefore, the two of them quickly led a group of martialists to the rear mountain.
However, before they reached the rear mountain, they heard loud rumbling voices coming from the cliff.
They all had a bad feeling about this.
So they rushed to the cliff.
To their horror, they saw one-third of the cliff had collapsed and fallen into the abyss.
-Surging dust rose up from the abyss as if doomsday had come.
Leland, Waldo, and the others all stared at Gilmore and Emma.
Leland frowned unconsciously when he saw Emma. He shot a stern glance at the second elder and questioned,
“Didn’t | tell you to keep an eye on Emma and keep her from leaving her room?
“What on earth happened?”
The second elder immediately cupped his fists and said, ‘Mr. Gardner, | have been watching the Peach Pavilion as
you said
“And | have no idea how Miss Gardner managed to get out of her room.”
Leland’s face turned sullen, and he was about to lose his temper
At this moment, the second elder seemed to have thought of something and suddenly added, “Oh, Mr. Gardner, |
recalled one thing.

“Less than an hour ago, Mr. Arnold Pine, Mr. Edward Myers, and Mr. Lewis Joplin had gone to the Peach Pavilion to
see Miss
Gardner.
“They must have secretly unsealed her acupoints during their visit.
“Then, Miss Gardner fled from the back window when | went to the bathroom.”
The impartial second elder had already figured out how to shift the blto Arnold, Edward, and Lewis,
Leland turned to look at the martialists guarding the cave. “Go to the cave and tell Arnold, Edward, and Lewis to
chere.”

“Yes, Mr. Gardner, the martialists answered and were about to go to the cave on the rear mountain.
However, a voice stopped them by saying, “You don’t have to go to the cave. They aren't there.”
On hearing the voice, the martialists stopped, and Leland, Waldo, and the others all turned to look at the person
who spoke.
It was Gilmore.
Leland frowned even harder, and his gaze becsharper. “What do you mean by that?”
With a calm face, Gilmore pointed to the abyss covered in the dust and said. “They are down there.”
Leland’s expression instantly changed.
He wondered if Arnold, Edward, and Lewis were buried in the abyss together with the collapsed cliff.
Leland couldn't be more shocked when he heard the words
It took him a while to recover from his shock, “You're saying that you threw them into the abyss and killed
them?” he asked slowly.
Gilmore shook his head. “No, to be exact, they attackedfirst by poisoningand throwinginto the cliff.
“But | was lucky enough to survive all these. A tooth for a tooth. So | threw them into the abyss.”
After hearing his reply, Leland and the other elders realized that Arnold, Edward, and Lewis were dead.
Leland’s eyes appeared furious.
Arnold, Edward, and Lewis were the sons of the three realm masters of the Dragonspire Secret Realms.
Now, though Leland didn’t kill them personally, he had to take responsibility for their death since they were killed
in his territory.
Leland could imagine how the three realm masters would rush to the Peach Realm murderously when they
learned about their sons’ death.
Leland didn’t expect Gilmore to cause him such big trouble.
Furious, he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked
Seeing that her father was furious and wanted to kill Gilmore, Emma immediately shielded Gilmore behind her to
protect him. She looked at her father with firm eyes and said, “Father, don’t hurt Gilmore.
“I can prove that Arnold, Edward, and Lewis attacked Gilmore first. They wanted to kill him.
“Gilmore had no choice but to fight back. They received their just deserts.”
Leland looked at his daughter and said in an unquestionable tone, “Emma, get over here immediately!”
In Leland’s eyes, to save the Peach Secret Realm from the catastrophe, he had to do two things. First, he had to
make Emma sever her relationship with Gilmore.
Second, he had to catch Gilmore and bring him to the three realm masters for punishment.

In other words, he could save the Dragonspire Secret Realms from it as well.
However, Emma had no intention of obeying her father’s order
“No, | won't, unless you will let Gilmore off, she replied to her father.

Leland was burning with rage. “Emma, don’t be so willful. Your stubbornness would get the Peach Secret Realm
into trouble and get you killed,”

“Father, | know my being with Gilmore would put you into a dilemma. But | don’t think Gilmore made any
mistake. Arnold wanted to kill him at the very beginning.”
“So, | won't allow anyone to wrong him and will protect him against anyone from the three Secret Realms,”
Emma said firmly to her father.
The reason why she protected Gilmore at all costs was that she loved him and knew that he was innocent.
That was why she went against her father’s order and defended Gilmore.
*Emma, your father is right. You have nothing to do with this. Lethandle it,” Gilmore said to Emma at the
moment.
As he spoke, he pulled Emma behind him.
He acted like a man who stood out to protect
his woman
Seeing this, Emma had a gentle look in her eyes.
She was very touched by Gilmore's action.
Seeing Gilmore stand out bravely, Leland had a look of joy in his eyes.
He was hesitant to launch an attack because Emma was shielding Gilmore behind her just now.
Now, Gilmore tried to make Emma stay out of it, which was exactly what Leland wanted to see.
In this way, Leland could rest assured and deal with Gilmore.
Leland looked at Gilmore and said, “Well, Gilmore, you dare to admit what you have done. You are a man.
“Now, you have two choices. The first one is that let us tie you up and bring you to see the other three realm
masters before you tell them how you killed their sons.
“The second is that you can refuse to surrender. But I'm afraid you will lose your life if Ill launch an attack.
“Tell me, which choice do you want to make?”
Leland certainly wanted to attack Gilmore directly.
But he knew that if attacked Gilmore, Emma would definitely try to save Gilmore again.
Therefore, if Gilmore could surrender, it would save Leland a lot of trouble.
However, Gilmore's answer disappointed Leland. “Mr. Gardner. I'm not going to make any choice. If you want to
fight, he was ready at any time
