The Legendary Man

Chapter 1045 Collude
Within Remdik, Jonathan stood at the top of a mountain, overlooking the vast nature.
He had advanced five hundred miles in the direction he calculated earlier and crossed the border of Remdik a while ago.
However, he hadn't heard any news about Joshua and Hayden throughout his journey.
Though unwilling to admit it, Jonathan had no choice but to face the truth that he might've gone in the wrong direction.
Thinking back on the location somewhere in Delisgar Ridge, which Xavion said Joshua was at, Jonathan was perplexed.
If Joshua intended to flee, he should've gone into Remdik, but according to the intelligence from the Osborne family, Joshua's
and Hayden's trails are unusual.
Taking out his computer from the storage ring, Jonathan began marking his digital map as he recalled the information Xavion
provided.
The Leeson family had discovered signs of Joshua and Hayden making long stops at a new location.
After the two left, they slaughtered a few members of the Leeson family, then fled northbound. They were spotted next at Elday
Mountain.
Soon after, a few more Leeson family members died. Jonathan continued to label each occurrence on his digital map.
However, the other seven respectable families had also sent their men into Delisgar Ridge.
After that, it was the Salladay family that discovered Joshua.
Just like that, Jonathan marked the five locations where the eight respectable families had seen Joshua.
Skimming through the finished map, he began searching for the relations between the stops Joshua had made.
“What is he planning?”
A frown marred Jonathan's forehead as his gaze followed the weird shape formed after connecting all the flagged locations.

After departing from the starting point, Joshua headed two hundred miles north, then began heading west once he reached
Remdik's border.
This is puzzling. When faced with pursuit, a normal person would've secretly infiltrated Remdik. Such odd movements only show
that Joshua has other ulterior motives.
Jonathan contemplated for a long while as he stared at the computer screen. Suddenly, a thought struck him. He connected the
first location Joshua had gone to and the last place the respectable families had seen the latter.
Jonathan's eyes gleamed at the sight in front of him.
Excluding the place he and Xavion ran into Joshua, a twisted circular sector formed upon connecting all the locations Joshua
was seen.
With the starting point as the center, the other four locations Joshua was seen in were all within the range of a hundred eighty
miles to two hundred thirty miles from the center.
Within Remdik, Jonothon stood ot the top of o mountoin, overlooking the vost noture.
He hod odvonced five hundred miles in the direction he colculoted eorlier ond crossed the border of Remdik o while ogo.
However, he hodn't heord ony news obout Joshuo ond Hoyden throughout his journey.
Though unwilling to odmit it, Jonothon hod no choice but to foce the truth thot he might've gone in the wrong direction.
Thinking bock on the locotion somewhere in Delisgor Ridge, which Xovion soid Joshuo wos ot, Jonothon wos perplexed.
If Joshuo intended to flee, he should've gone into Remdik, but occording to the intelligence from the Osborne fomily, Joshuo's
ond Hoyden's troils ore unusuol.
Toking out his computer from the storoge ring, Jonothon begon morking his digitol mop os he recolled the informotion Xovion
provided.
The Leeson fomily hod discovered signs of Joshuo ond Hoyden moking long stops ot o new locotion.
After the two left, they sloughtered o few members of the Leeson fomily, then fled northbound. They were spotted next ot Eldoy
Mountoin.
Soon ofter, o few more Leeson fomily members died. Jonothon continued to lobel eoch occurrence on his digitol mop.

However, the other seven respectoble fomilies hod olso sent their men into Delisgor Ridge.
After thot, it wos the Sollodoy fomily thot discovered Joshuo.
Just like thot, Jonothon morked the five locotions where the eight respectoble fomilies hod seen Joshuo.
Skimming through the finished mop, he begon seorching for the relotions between the stops Joshuo hod mode.
“Whot is he plonning?”
A frown morred Jonothon's foreheod os his goze followed the weird shope formed ofter connecting oll the flogged locotions.
After deporting from the storting point, Joshuo heoded two hundred miles north, then begon heoding west once he reoched
Remdik's border.
This is puzzling. When foced with pursuit, o normol person would've secretly infiltroted Remdik. Such odd movements only show
thot Joshuo hos other ulterior motives.
Jonothon contemploted for o long while os he stored ot the computer screen. Suddenly, o thought struck him. He connected the
first locotion Joshuo hod gone to ond the lost ploce the respectoble fomilies hod seen the lotter.
Jonothon's eyes gleomed ot the sight in front of him.
Excluding the ploce he ond Xovion ron into Joshuo, o twisted circulor sector formed upon connecting oll the locotions Joshuo
wos seen.
With the storting point os the center, the other four locotions Joshuo wos seen in were oll within the ronge of o hundred eighty
miles to two hundred thirty miles from the center.
That meant Joshua was undoubtedly searching for something, and the item was located where the Leeson family members had
run into him.
Jonathan's lips cracked into a wide smile after unintentionally discovering the man's real motive.
He still remembered what Xavion had told him. There must be a reason why Joshua chose to flee to Doveston's Delisgar Ridge.
Even though Jonathan merely speculated the site where Joshua would turn up in, he didn't know Joshua's motive in the Delisgar
Ridge.

However, his speculation had already given him a huge lead from the eight respectable families.
Is this the advantage of being poor?
Jonathan packed up his computer somewhat resignedly.
With powerful forces at their disposal, the eight respectable families don't need to think much at all. They can just employ their
men and conduct a carpet search. Only people like me will need to burn some brain cells to figure out what Joshua is up to.
Jonathan turned to the south and stared at the mountain range buried under a snowstorm.
“The last place Xavion and I discovered Joshua was close to Remdik's border but not within the circular sector. This means the
search by the eight respectable families has forced him to deviate from the central location. Plus, our battle had gained the
attention of the Blackwood, Leeson, and Welsh families. Although they didn't see Joshua, I'm sure they would treat that area as
a priority area for a radiation search. In that case, Joshua's path to Delisgar Ridge will be obstructed. He'll have to take another
longer route if he wants to return while simultaneously avoiding the search party.”
The west!
Now that Joshua's true motive had been revealed, his movement could also be easily inferred.
The fastest way to evade the eight respectable families' search zone would be through the west. Upon crossing River Onxy, he
would enter Delisgar Ridge once again through the southern-west side from Horbah.
With that conclusion in mind, Jonathan spurred into action, heading toward the west.
Regardless of whether Joshua did take the westbound route, Jonathan had decided to head to the River Onxy's border.
That was just how it was in the battle between the eight respectable families. It was also an internal dispute of Chanaea.
In view of Remdik's invasion war, the issues with the respectable families were insignificant.
Jonathan decided to head over to River Onxy and check the place. Despite the drop in his power after losing his Pryncyp of
Slaughter, he could still disrupt Remdik's supply line with his God Realm cultivation level.
With an army of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, delaying his opponent's supply for a few days was more than enough for
them to suffer, much less cutting off the supply line.

Jonathan felt a fire had been lit inside him at the thought of fighting behind the enemy line.
However, he was unaware that the God Realm members of the seven respectable families were currently having a meeting
within Delisgar Ridge.
Remy glanced at the six other representatives and started, “Since everyone here agrees with this conclusion, let's split our men
into two groups. One group will be led by a God Realm cultivator, head toward Doveston in Horbah, and search for Joshua along
the border districts. Meanwhile, the second group will stand guard here and wait for Joshua to fall into our trap. Does anyone
object to this suggestion?”
Remy's gaze didn't stop sweeping the room as he spoke.
Just then, a cultivator from the Henderson family stepped forward.
“I have something to offer.”
Remy nodded. “Yes, Jayden?”
Before he spoke, Jayden Henderson looked at everyone in the room, his gaze icy.
“I don't have any objection to your plan, but I have a warning for everyone here. Since we've determined Joshua's motive, it
won't be long before he's captured. I only have one thing to say—I hope everyone seated in this room obeys the rules, and I'll be
the first to cripple anyone who dares to backstab another.”
The rest of the cultivators merely snickered at his threat.
All of them were members of respectable families and held the same cultivation level. Of course, none of them would take his
threat seriously. They weren't people who could easily be crippled, after all.
Jayden's threat was useless against those cold-hearted murderers.
Not only were they unafraid, but they even began bickering amongst themselves.
Seeing chaos erupting in the room and a fight about to happen, Remy took center stage again.
“Enough! Stop f*cking fighting!” Remy bellowed as he slashed his hand with his billhook.

As fresh blood gushed from his palm and dripped to the floor, Remy shouted, “All of you look here! I'm putting my Great Pryncyp
on the line to swear an oath. Before the collaboration ends, the Leeson family will never lay a hand on the rest of the respectable
families. The consequence of breaking that oath will be my death, the perishment of my Great Pryncyp, and my cultivation level!”
