Dragon Tiger Peak was among the renowned mountains in the central region of Crestview.
The Dragon Tiger Peak was shrouded in clouds and mist. The mountains were lofty and the trees were towering.
On the top of the Dragon–tiger Peak, there were magnificent pavilions.
This was the Dragon Tiger Hall, a famous sect in the central region that had existed for hundreds of years.
Today, this place was a little lively. People could be seen coming and going between the halls and pavilions with laughter.
A cacophony of voices filled the palace hall as cups clinked together..
The hall hosted over a dozen banquets, with nearly a hundred people seated within.
Adorning the front wall of the hall was a large banner that read “Happy Birthday.”
That’s right, today marked the 80th birthday of the leader, Spencer..
At that moment, a silver–haired, bright–eyed, and rosy–cheeked Spencer was seated at a round table.
As the saying goes, when people have a happy event, they are in high spirits.
Right at that moment, Spencer was like this. His face brimmed with smiles, and he had a radiant expression. He lifted his wine glass and proposed a toast to the gathering.
“Master, I hope your day is filled with joy and laughter.”
“Master, I wish you a fantastic birthday and a year filled with success.”
“Master, congratulations on becoming the Grandmaster of the martial world, and I wish for Dragon Tiger Hall to become the top sect in the world!”
At that moment, three elderly men each extended their congratulations to Spencer.
Among the three elderly men, one was dressed in white, another in black, and the third in green robes.
The old man in the white robe, sporting a black beard, had the appearance of a scholar in his fifties. He was Troy, the leader of the Seven Stars Sect.
The elder in the black robe was in his sixties. His face was gaunt, his eyes were deeply sunken, and his gaze carried an icy, stern demeanor. A dark spider tattoo on his right neck exuded a mysterious and ominous aura.
He was none other than the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, Tom Summers.
The elder in the green robe was in his seventies. Despite having gray hair, his face radiated youthful ruddiness, and his eyes sparkled. A smile graced his face, and a small box dangled from his waist.
He was like an experienced doctor.
The old man’s name was Yvan, the leader of Valley of the Medicine King.
The leaders of the Seven Stars Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, and the Valley of the Medicine King were assembled in the Dragon Tiger Hall to celebrate Spencer’s birthday.
In honor of Spencer’s birthday, not only did the four renowned sects from the central region gather, but numerous affluent and influential guests from the four central provinces attended the celebration.
As the renowned sect of the central region, the Dragon Tiger Hall held a central role in the martial arts community of the region and boasted numerous wealthy and influential families aligned with it.
The Dragon Tiger Hall had a wide range of economic interests throughout the central region. It was not just a renowned martial arts sect but also a powerful business entity operating discreetly.

Just as everyone in the Dragon Tiger Hall was celebrating Spencer’s birthday, the hall buzzed with noise and excitement, while a few guards stood watch at the entrance gates.
Four disciples stood guard at the gate, looking a little bored.
While everyone else enjoyed food and drinks at the party, they continued to carry out their duties.
However, since it was the leader’s birthday today, they didn’t dare to be lax. They all stood vigilant, maintaining their posts at the entrance.
At this moment, three men in black approached.
Upon spotting unfamiliar faces, the four guards promptly shouted, “Who are you?”
The three men in black robes were none other than Sakura, Ryota, and Yukihiro Yamamoto, who had been sent by Hiroshi.
They were here to deliver a message to the Dragon Tiger Hall
Sakura paid no heed to the guards. Instead, he cast a quick glance at the festivities and remarked, “The Hall seems quite lively. Is something special going on?”
A guard proudly declared, “Today is our master’s birthday. All four renowned sects have gathered here, and distinguished guests from the central region have come to celebrate. Naturally, it’s going to be quite a lively affair!”
Then, this guard looked at them and asked, “Don’t you also come and celebrate our master’s birthday?”
It was only at that moment that Sakura and the other two exchanged glances, and they finally realized that it was Spencer’s birthday.
What was more, they did not expect that the four famous sects would come together in this place.
In that case, they would not have to deliver the letters one by one.
Sakura said to the guards, “We wish Mr. Lloyd’s day filled with joy and laughter!
“However, We didn’t know it was his birthday, so we didn’t bring any gifts. We’re really sorry.”
When the guards heard that, their faces lit up with joy.
It was still the same guard who spoke up. He said, “It doesn’t matter if you didn’t bring any gifts. What matters is your presence and good wishes. May I ask which sect you represent or which noble family you belong to?”
Sakura furrowed his brow and replied, “We’re from Oakhaven. We’ve come to Dragon Tiger Hall to deliver letters to Mr. Lloyd and the leaders of the Five Poisons Sect, the Seven Stars Sect, and the Valley of the Medicine King.
“The reason for our visit this time is all written in the letter.”
Having said that, Sakura took out four letters from his pockets and handed them to the guard.
When the guard received the letters, it was evident that each of the four letters had tags specifying their exclusivity, such as “Exclusive for the Dragon Tiger Hall,” “Exclusive for the Seven Stars Sect,” and so on.
That guard and the other guards looked at each other. Evidently they were all very curious as to what sort of secret was written in this letter.
“Please wait for a moment, I’ll report this to our master,” the guard said,
However, Sakura responded, “Thank you for your assistance. We’ll be taking our leave now
Afterward, without waiting for a response from the guards, Sakura and his two companions turned around and descended the mountain.
The four guards were stunned.
Why did these men leave in such a hurry?
They didn’t provide a detailed explanation of their identity or the purpose of the letter they had delivered.
This greatly puzzled the guards.
The one holding the letter looked at the rest of the guards and asked, “What should we do with these letters?”
One said, “Our master is entertaining his honored guest right now. Why don’t we send these letters to the four Sect Leaders after the banquet ends.”
“Mn, alright then, I’ll send them in later.” That guard put the letters in his pocket.
The banquet in Dragon Tiger Hall didn’t end until two hours later.
All the wealthy and influential guests bid farewell to Spencer before boarding the helicopter, which was then parked in the square of the Dragon–Tiger Hall.
The helicopter’s hum grew louder.
More than a dozen helicopters took off and left the Dragon Tiger Peak.
Dragon–Tiger Peak sat in the heart of the mountain range, with a winding road connecting it to the city beyond the mountains.
However, the guests who had gathered to celebrate Dragon’s birthday were either affluent or of noble status. Naturally, they opted for helicopters instead of cars.
Seeing that the banquet was over and the guests had left, only the three sect leaders were still there.
The guard immediately took the letters out and headed to a pavilion in the Dragon Tiger Hall.
A few minutes later, he handed these four letters to Spencer, Troy, Tom, and Yvan,
Then, he detailed to the four sect leaders how the three enigmatic men had delivered the letters.
Spencer and the others were all very curious.
Then they tore open the envelope and took out a folded letter and a piece of paper with pictures printed on it.
They unfolded the paper to reveal pictures of rare Renaissance artworks.
If Ken were here, he would definitely recognize that the rare pieces of Renaissance art in the picture was the one that Gilmore had given him.
