The Legendary Man Chapter 1316-The Guide
Upon hearing Hayden’s words, everyone turned their attention to Jonathan.
Seboxia’s coffin was indeed mysterious. Although Jonathan couldn’t yet store it within himself, it had an
interior that formed its own space.
Earlier, when Sterio and Merilyn had rested inside the coffin, Jonathan and the others had used it to
escape, but they hadn’t felt anything from within.
Even when the coffin was reduced in size, its internal space remained unchanged.
Standing inside, they experienced no bumps or shaking due to changes in the external direction.
Seboxia had imed that the coffin was a pre-divine weapon. Jonathan believed it, yet he still had
some doubts.
After all, this item seemed to have no other advantages besides its ability to shield against celestial
enigma and its extreme durability.
While its ability to store living creatures was exceptionally rare, it didn’t seem to match the status of a
pre-divine weapon.
The only practical use Jonathan could think of was hiding inside the coffin.
However, this idea left him feeling a bit dejected.
“It’s useless. This thing follows thews of physics. Even if you all squeeze into the coffin, my
consumption of spiritual energy will remain the same as it is now. There won’t be any difference.”
“Really?” Hayden reached out to touch the ancient coffin and asked, “But howe the things in our
storage rings don’t obey thews of physics?”
Jonathan turned to Hayden, who had a sharp tongue, and after holding back for a while, he finally
slowly said, “Go to hell.”
Hayden was left bewildered by Jonathan’s scolding, and his gaze was filled with defiance.
Jonathan, on the other hand, couldn’t be bothered with this troublemaker. He casually flipped his hand
and tossed out a spear.
“This is just a middle-grade magical item; make do with it for now,” Jonathan remarked.
Sirius reached out and stored the spear in his storage bag without so much as a thank you.
The ckwood family had secretly allied with Asura’s Office, and starting with the Remdik expedition,
Sirius and the ckwood family had been providing substantial support to Asura’s Office behind the
scenes.
Although they belonged to different factions, their actual rtionship was much better than that of
Joshua and his group.
Under Jonathan’s leadership, the group continued their journey in silence. After about fifteen minutes,
Jonathan’s pace suddenly faltered.
“What’s wrong?” Sterio inquired.
Jonathan extended his hand and waved it in front of him. The earth around them rapidly receded,
forming a circr space with a diameter of about ten meters.
Jonathan took out a shlight and shone it ahead, only to discover that whaty in front of them was
not soil at all but a smooth, jet-ck stone surface.
Almost instinctively, everyone released their spiritual senses.
“Wow…”
Hayden reached out and touched the stone b that seemed to have been cut by a de.
“Mr. Goldstein, could it be that we’ve stumbled upon the corner of the North Outer City?” Hayden
asked.
“It seems so,” Jonathan replied, frowning as he nced at Joshua, who stood nearby.
Joshua understood Jonathan’s implication but shook his head slightly.
“No, this city wall serves as a barrier against the onught of demon beasts during the beast wave. It’s
incredibly sturdy, and the formationsyered on top of it are formidable. Even if it costs me my life, I
can’t break through these formations to create a path.”
Upon hearing Joshua’s words, the group wore troubled expressions.
However, Sirius, standing nearby, coldly snorted.
“Why fear? Let’s go up there and tear open a way out. I’ll lead the charge.”
“No,” Joshua replied, shaking his head slightly.
“South Outer City and North Outer City are extremely vast. Although there are four city gates, they are
heavily guarded and not open to the public on regr days,” Joshua exined. “Furthermore, we are
now on the surface, and we have no idea about the exact locations of those city gates. All the wanted
posters out there have our faces on them, I guarantee that once we show ourselves, we will
immediately attract arge number of pursuers. What will we do then? Hide underground like rats
again?”
Sirius furrowed his brow and looked at the others. “It’s still better than waiting here.”
Hayden reached out to pat Sirius’s shoulder but was pushed aside by Sirius.
However, Hayden didn’t seem bothered and spoke with a smile. “Sirius, it’s no wonder the ckwood
family suffered heavy casualties. Do you know that sometimes you have to use your brain when
dealing with things? Not everything can be solved by brute force. You have to be cunning!”
“If you want to be cunning, you be cunning. I’d rather kill everyone in this small world!” Sirius held his
spear, exuding a sharp and intimidating aura.
At that moment, Merilyn, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, cautiously extended her
hand.
“Everyone, I have some information. I don’t know if it will be useful to you.”
The group turned their attention to Merilyn. They had never really considered this aborigine female
cultivator in their battles or ns.

While she had strongbat skills, her methods were rather one-dimensional.
Among this group, even Hayden had a way to defeat Merilyn if they were to face off individually.
The others were in a simr position, so Merilyn was mostly seen as an auxiliary member.
Now, as Merilyn spoke up, they remembered that they had a true aborigine cultivator among them.
“Merilyn, do you have any useful information?” Jonathan asked with a smile.
Bing the center of attention made Merilyn feel somewhat ufortable. She squeezed Sterio’s
hand a little tighter and finally spoke up.
“What you’ve been talking about, the ‘beast wave’, hasn’t happened here for three hundred years,” she
began. “I remember hearing that someone from the vige beyond had infiltrated South Outer City
before. They said the guards at the South Outer City gates werex, and the envoys from the Outer
City could move freely. However, I don’t know about the situation in North Outer City, and I don’t know if
this information is useful to you.”
Merilyn fell silent after sharing this information, and the expressions on Jonathan and the others’ faces
brightened. They all wore smiles.
“Sterio, you’ve found yourself a good wife. If we make it out of here alive, I’ll give you an extra five
hundred. Consider it an early wedding gift.”
Hayden, who had seen his status rise among the group since showcasing his talent in formations,
spoke without his usual caution and even jested with Sterio.
“Get lost!” Sterio retorted with a cold expression.
These scions of noble families had pocket change in the tens of thousands, and now Hayden suddenly
offered five hundred as a joke. It was clearly a joke.
Jonathan and Joshua both consumed a few Spirit Rejuvenating Pills, then activated their spiritual
energy, leading the group upwards.
With Merilyn’s information, they only needed to discreetly surface, ascertain their direction, and then
make their escape underground, which would allow them to leave easily.
But just as Jonathan and the others used their spiritual senses to detect the absence of anyone nearby
and emerged from underground, a moment of utter shock struck them.
“Jonathan, what a wonderful f*cking guide you ar
