Chapter 1320
The Legendary Man Chapter 1320-City Gate
“Forbidden technique…” Joshua stepped into the coffin, looking somewhat speechless at Jonathan.
“Why does that statement of yours sound a little odd?”
Bang!
Before Joshua could finish his words, he was abruptly thrown into the coffin by Jonathan.
In the moment the coffin lid closed, their eyes met, each understanding the meaning in the other’s
gaze.
Hailstorm Fan, Troop Summoner, and Formation Crusher.
Two out of the three secret treasures had now demonstrated their utterly formidable capabilities.
Although Joshua had yet to showcase the use of Hailstorm Fan, since it shared a great reputation as
the other two treasures, it must also be extremely powerful.
When setting up themand center from Troop Summoner earlier, Jonathan clearly saw the greedy
look in Sterio and Kathleen’s eyes.
Even Sirius, who always presented himself as cold and aloof, couldn’t help but continually nce at
Joshua.
That was a very dangerous sign!
The eight great families had been coveting those three secret treasures for a long time. Although
Joshua imed that those items required the bloodline of the Whitley family to activate, who could
ascertain that was really the case?
Even so, what difference would it make if it were true?
If a cultivator sought to acquire a magical item, they would stop at nothing to achieve their goal.
If the magical item required the Whitley family’s blood essence, all they had to do was capture Joshua
and turn him into an amputee, removing his mouth, nose, tongue, teeth, or eyes. That way, he would
be a blood bank that could provide blood essence at any time.
When Joshua was in a weak state earlier, Jonathan had clearly seen Sterio start to change his
position.
That was why he conveniently tossed Joshua into the coffin to protect thetter.
The coffin was like a prison, and only Jonathan knew how to unlock it. Logically speaking, Joshua
shouldn’t have allowed Jonathan to seal him inside so willingly. After all, doing so was akin to
entrusting his life and fortune to Jonathan.
But the moment Jonathan’s hand touched his arm, a surge of life force calmed him down.
Aside from Merilyn, all of those individuals were extremely astute. They clearly understood Jonathan’s
intention to protect Joshua.
Jonathan also knew that everyone had figured out his intentions.
Their alliance was incredibly fragile, where even the slightest hint of self-interest could lead to conflict
and strife among them.
But as long as none of them did anything to ruin their coboration, the alliance could still be
maintained.
Everyone understood that once they left the North Outer City and felt safe, they might turn on each
other.
As long as they hadn’t left that city, they could still entrust their lives to each other.
That was the world of the cultivators, where benefits came first.
Led by Jonathan, the party of six stuck close to the city wall, sprinting forward as swiftly as specters.
Just a moment ago, amidst the vast expanse of the sky, Jonathan had already spotted the massive city
gates in the distance.
Actually, to call it a door was no longer entirely urate.
After all, the city wall was about a hundred feet high. Building the city gate was not difficult. It was
simply a matter of carving a hole in the wall and installing a couple of door panels.
Doing so, however, would add a tremendous burden.
The formation on the city walls there was seamlessly integrated with the entire city’s formation.

If a door or hole were carelessly created, it would disrupt the performance of the entire formation,
necessitating numerous additional modifications.
Moreover, the gates of such arge city couldn’t be that small anyway.
Finding suchrge pieces of wood would be a problem, and the reinforcement and inscription of
formations after construction would also be incrediblyplex.
Therefore, when constructing those two Outer Cities, they simply left a space about one hundred
meters long where the city gates were nned to be, choosing not to build walls there. Instead, the gap
was entirely filled with formations.
The envoys within the city coulde and go freely. All they needed was to wear their emerald ess
badges.
As for those demon beasts, if they really intended to break through those gaps into the South Outer
City and North Outer City, it would actually save everyone a lot of effort because those gaps were the
most terrifying spots in the entire two Outer Cities’ formations. Essentially, every step of the space was
filled with kill arrays.
Even formation masters among human cultivators might not make it out once they entered, let alone
those demon beasts whose spiritual sense had not yet awakened.
Jonathan looked at Sirius next to him and asked curiously, “What are your ns after leaving this city?”
“Burn down this small world!” With a stern expression, Sirius spoke without any hesitation, his words
exuding absolute seriousness.
Uh… Jonathan looked at Sirius in astonishment, never expecting to receive such an answer.
Considering the rtionship between Asura’s Office and the ckwood family, Jonathan initially
wanted to ask Sirius if he was willing to join him in his actions.
After all, they had a life-and-death bond in the outside world, especially in Merania. When Jonathan
was being pursued by countless God Realm cultivators from the entire Remdikian Western Army, the
ckwood family knew that the opponents of the Asura’s Office were powerful. Yet, they did not
hesitate to send people to receive Charleigh and Ksana.
From their actions, they had long earned the trust of Jonathan.
Moreover, ording to the n of the ckwood family, they aimed to be the top family again.
Such a goal did not conflict with Jonathan’s long-standing desire to overthrow the eight great families.
Therefore,pared to the cultivators from the other respectable families, the one Jonathan most
wanted to coborate with was the man before him, Sirius.
But now, Sirius waspletely consumed by hatred.
After entering the small world, five of the seven God Realm cultivators of the ckwood family quickly
gathered.
But then, they encountered a huge party of divine messengers from the North Outer City. During the
resistance, two out of the five people died.
Sirius and the remaining two cultivators were also subjected to severe torture before being thrown into
the dungeons of North Outer City.
If it weren’t for Jonathan saving him, he would have ended up like the other two, silently awaiting death
in that dungeon.
Although Sirius was a scion of a respectable family, he was somewhat different from the rest. He
ced great value on friendship and loyalty.
Sirius might’ve entered the small world initially for the potential treasures that might be found within.
However, all Sirius wanted to do now was to take revenge.
Still, Jonathan wondered if Sirius’ n to get his revenge was a little too dangerous.
You intend to set the whole small world on fire?” Hayden, cradling his sniper rifle, spoke in a teasing
manner.
Sirius looked at Hayden coldly. “The ckwood family doesn’t need your talent for drawing formation.
Dare to bother me again, and I’ll do away with you right now.”
“I…” Hayden loaded his gun, intending to aim at Sirius, but before he could act, he was blocked by
Jonathan standing next to him.
“We still have over five kilometers to go before we reach the city gates. Themotion caused by
Joshua earlier was quite significant and had drawn the attention of most people. Whatever you do,
don’t mess things up now. One wrong move, and we’re all done for in this ce.”
Hayden was merely posing with his gun, and since Jonathan spoke up, he naturally wouldn’t continue
to argue with Sirius.
Although they’d been trying hard to conceal themselves, they were, after all, in the Outer City. Hence,
how could they possibly not run into anyone?
As they ran, a group of ck Armor soldiers appeared in the distance, heading straight toward him.
“They are the ones! Show them no mercy!”
