Sword Mountain, where the Star Gate resided, stood tall in the central part of the Cloudar and was a famous peak in Oakhaven.
Rolling green hills spanned dozens of miles around, with bright moons gleaming between the pines and clear springs flowing over the rocks.
Among these hills, Sword Mountain was the loftiest and boasted the most picturesque scenery.
It was cloaked in centuries–old pines and cypresses, standing tall and green as far as the eye could see. Scattered around the mountain were grand halls and pavilions, a mix of new and historic constructions, emanating an aura of grandeur.
While many of these buildings were recent additions, a significant number dated back hundreds of years. After all, Star Gate was a renowned Oakhaven martial arts sect with a legacy spanning several centuries, and they had preserved many ancient structures.
Although situated among the serene mountains, Star Gate wasn’t isolated from the world. A road connected the outer world directly to Sword Mountain
Thus, this historic Oakhaven martial arts sect, even in the mountains, maintained its ties with the external world.
Between the halls and pavilions of Star Gate, and on their vast squares, luxury cars from the outside world could be seen the preferred mode of transportation for the members.
However, as a martial arts sect, the vast open spaces were mostly occupied by hundreds of Star Gate disciples practicing their martial arts.
Their vigorous shouts during training echoed between the pine trees and the buildings, radiating immense energy.
Just then, the humming of helicopter blades pierced the sky.
The disciples, in the middle of their training, all looked up.
Two helicopters approached from the sky.
Under the curious gazes of many, they gradually landed on the square in front of Star Gate’s grandest
hall.
After the engines were shut off, the doors of the helicopters opened. A dozen bodyguards carefully assisted Sylas, Julian, and other members of Star Gate out of the helicopter.
Secing Sylas and Julian, the disciples of Star Gate on the square snapped back to reality and began exclaiming, “The young master has returned from Oakhaven!”
“The young master and Julian are back!”
“Let’s quickly help them!”
Immediately, a throng of Star Gate disciples surged forward.
They took Sylas, Julian, and the other injured members of Star Gate from the Carier family martialists and carried them towards the grand hall at the front.
Claire then disembarked from the helicopter.
She saw the Star Gate disciples carrying Sylas and the others into the magnificent hall.
She instructed the Carter family martialists to escort Norman, Thomas, and Tobias, following them into the hall.
Inside the hall, four individuals were seated.
At the center was a man in his fifties. He had a topknot held in place by a black jade hairpin, long eyebrows, and deep, calm eyes that seemed like tranquil ponds. With an indifferent expression; he

sported a long black beard.
Dressed in a white robe, a star emblem, the size of a palm, was embroidered on the chest. Sitting on a grand chair in the hall, this white–robed elder exuded an aura of a transcendental This otherworldly sage was the head of Star Gate, Sylas’s father, Tristan.

sage.
To Tristan’s left were three elderly men, each with white hair and appearing to be in their eighties. Although their hair was silver, the sparkle in their eyes was as bright as stars, undeniably radiant. These three were the top presbyters of Star Gate: Senior Presbyter Tiger, Second Presbyter Phoenix, and Third Presbyter Steve.
Tristan and the three presbyters watched as the Star Gate disciples carried the injured Sylas, Julian, and others into the grand hall.
One of the disciples addressed Tristan and the presbyters, saying, “Mr. McLean, esteemed presbyters, the young master and Julian have returned!”
Seeing Sylas and Julian with casts on their arms and legs, Tristan’s brows furrowed, and he ins…ucted, “Place them in the chairs.”
Even though Tristan had received a call from Sylas and was informed about their severe injuries in Oakhaven, seeing them in this condition still tugged at his heartstrings.
“Yes, Mr. McLean, replied the Star Gate disciples.
They then proceeded to help Sylas and the others to sit on the chairs lining the sides of the grand hall. “Continue with your martial arts training.” Senior Presbyter Tiger signaled to the Star Gate disciples still present in the hall, making a dismissive gesture.
With a unified resp
the disciples promptly exited the hall.
Left in the hall were Claire, the Carter family martialists, Norman, Bruce, Tobias, and a few others. “And who might this young lady be?” Tristan’s gaze fell upon Claire, prompting him to ask.
Claire promptly bowed, paying her respects, “I am Denton’s granddaughter, Claire Carter. I greet Mr. McLean Tristan and the esteemed presbyters.”
“So you’re Denton’s granddaughter. It must’ve been quite the ordeal for a young woman like you to escort Sylas and Julian back. We appreciate your efforts Tristan expressed.
Claire humbly replied, “Mr. McLean, you’re too kind.”
Tristan’s attention then shifted to the bound figures of Norman, Bruce, and Tobias. He inquired, “Who might they be?”
“Dad, these are the Westons – Norman, Bruce, and Tobias. They’re the ones who poisoned and knocked us out, broke our limbs, and imprisoned us,” Sylas interjected with evident resentment before Claire could respond.
Norman and Bruce felt uneasy. They realized that they were no longer in Oakhaven but on Star Gate’s turf, leaving their fates entirely out of their hands.
On the other hand, Tobias’s face had turned deathly pale, and had he not been restrained by the Carter family’s martialists, his wobbly legs would’ve had him on his knees already
“Fine. How dare they harm my Star Gate’s members? Take them away! Tristan ordered. Immediately, a few of the Star Gate martialists entered and escorted the three Westons away.
After they were removed, Tristan’s demeanor softened a smile forming on his lips. “Miss Carter, I am grateful for your help in bringing them back.
Please convey my deepest thanks to your grandfather, Denton, for his efforts in rescuing them.
Claire replied, “Mr. McLean, there’s no need for formalities. I’ll definitely relay your gratitude to my grandfather.

“Miss Carter, since you’re here at Sword Mountain of Star Gate, why not stay a few days I’ll arrange for someone to show you around and let you witness the picturesque scenery of Sword Mounain proposed.
“Thank you, Mr. McLean, for the kind offer. However, after safely delivering Sylas back to Star Game Is fulfilled my grandfather’s task. Moreover, I have many business matters awaiting me in Odia so plan to return there tomorrow, Claire explained.
“I see you’re quite occupied. In that case, I won’t press you further, Tristan remarked, stroking his back beard thoughtfully.
He then raised his voice towards the entrance, “Come here!
Two Star Gate martialists entered, bowing in respect, “Mr. McLean, how may we serve?
“Miss Carter has come from afar, and she’s an esteemed guest of Star Gate. Show her and her companions around Sword Mountain, Tristan instructed.
“Yes, Mr. McLean, the two martialists acknowledged. They then led Claire and her party our de
hall.
Once Claire and her group left. Sylas turned to his father. Tristan, with an air of mystery and said Dad during my time in Oakhaven, although I faced some hardships, I stumbled upon a tremendous discovery.”
Tristan’s face became grave, “I sent you to Oakhaven to gain experience. A bit of adversity helps you grow.
“Your injuries will need time to heal, so you should rest and recover here at Star Gate
“Dad, my significant discovery isn’t about the injuries. I unintentionally acquired secrets related to the Treasure Map.” Sylas urgently interjected.
Upon hearing this, not only Tristan but also the other three presbyters looked shocked.
Regaining his composure, Tristan raised his hand to silence Sylas, saying. “Hold that thought”
With a swift motion, he flicked his long sleeve towards the grand hall’s entrance.
A gust of internal mana transformed into a powerful wind, and with a loud slam, the doors of the hall were shut.
After securing their privacy, Tristan turned to Sylas and inquired, “Sylas, are you truly saying you’ve discovered secrets about the Treasure Map?
