The Legendary Man

Chapter 1130 Play Both Ends Against The Middle
Buzz...
A soft buzz pierced the air right when Ivanov's two Great Pryncyps neared the blood ritual.
Two dried-up hands reached out of the arcane array and stopped Great Pryncyp's attack easily.
The collision between Great Pryncyp caused them to scatter in the air and produced a powerful shockwave that rippled in all
directions. However, the shockwave was contained within a certain range by an unseen force.
“It's a Divine Realm cultivator,” Ivanov said as he stared at the blood ritual that appeared out of nowhere warily.
Within in, two elderly men stepped out.
The first elderly man was wrinkly and looked like a dried corpse. There seemed to be no flesh on his body, and he was a
horrifying sight.
Behind him was a middle-aged man with a cigarette dangling from his lips.
Both men's features and auras differed from each other greatly.
The only similarity that they shared was the dangerous air that they gave off.
Both men were in Divine Realm!
The fragments of the blood ritual glowed and shattered, vanishing into the air.
The middle-aged man took out the cigarette from his mouth. “Ashton, what happened?” he demanded, sounding displeased.
“Don't you know how rare a blood talisman is? We were dozens of miles away and would arrive soon. You should've just stalled
for time for a little more. Why couldn't you do that?”
Ashton dared not refute his words. He put his hands before his chest and greeted the elderly men respectfully.
“Sir, I wanted to do that, but you saw that we weren't able to stall for time,” he replied meekly.
“Nonsense!” the middle-aged man cursed.

He was about to continue when the other skinnier elderly man rasped out, “That's enough. I trust Ashton. If they weren't in
danger, he wouldn't waste a blood talisman to teleport us here.”
It sounded like he had to force each and every syllable out of his throat, and his voice was really hoarse and almost intelligible.
“The one who took action was that man, wasn't it?” inquired the elderly man, as his aura locked onto Ivanov, who was standing
across from him, rendering the latter unable to move.
The other Divine Realm cultivator who was a middle-aged man spat out his cigarette. He gathered his Great Pryncyp, ready to
take action.
A riot of emotions brewed within Ivanov.
He initially assumed Quintus was the only Divine Realm cultivator from the Leeson family who took action and had no idea he
would summon two other Divine Realm cultivators with his Pryncyp.
One reason why Remdik was bold enough to send their troops to Chanaea was because of Chanaea's unique cultivation
environment.
In Chanaea, the majority of cultivators beyond the Grandmaster Realm belonged to the eight respectable families and secret
sects.
Therefore, cultivators in God Realm and Divine Realm were scarce in the mortal world.
Ivanov couldn't help but think he got extremely unlucky as he ran into three Divine Realm cultivators who came from the same
family in one day.
Have I stirred a Divine Realm nest?
When Ivanov sensed two Pryncyps homing in on himself, he gathered his own Pryncyp and immediately put his guard up.
“I believe this is a misunderstanding. There is a valuable treasure right here in this small world, so there's no need for us to
engage in a fight. If we get injured in the process, someone else will reap the benefits!”
Among the Pryncyps of Rule, Ivanov's Pryncyp was considered more unique.
Despite that, he knew he wasn't a match for three Divine Realm cultivators of the same level.

However, Ivanov couldn't bring himself to give up on the small world.
The only way out was to stall for time.
He refused to believe that the massive commotion in the small world would go unnoticed by anyone except himself and the
Leeson family.
If other forces interfered, the Leeson family would inevitably become the center of the conflict as they were the first to discover
the small world.
Then, he could take the opportunity to sneak into the small world amidst the chaos.
There was a possibility that Quintus might have already entered the small world with the intention of gaining personal
experience, but the energy fluctuations coming from within indicated that the internal space of this world was incredibly vast.
Based on his experience and past records from ancient scrolls, Quintus knew that many treasures within a small world were
locked in unique formations. It was possible for some people to enter the space and search for three days, but still fail to find
anything, while others could simply take one step and discover valuable treasures.
The course of destiny was uncertain and inexplicable.
As long as the chaos portal leading to this small world was still open, everything was possible.
Thus, Ivanov knew he had to stall for time.
The more variables there were, the more chances he would get!
Ivanov had been in a position of power for an extended period, making him a shrewd individual. However, the Leesons were not
to be underestimated either.
Despite not knowing Ivanov's exact thoughts, they could guess Ivanov's plan as the small world was right in front of them.
“B*stard. You're still thinking about the treasures within the small world, huh? You have a death wish!” the middle-aged cultivator
roared.
He was about to take action when Ashton stepped out to stop him.

“Don't move!”
The middle-aged cultivator halted in his tracks, and the Pryncyp of Strength in his hands faded away.
He swiveled around to direct an angry look at Ashton.
“Ashton, are you sure? We have an advantage over him now and can slaughter him immediately.”
Ashton gave the middle-aged man a cold, disdainful look, his previous respect completely gone.
“Sir, don't forget that I'm the current patriarch of the Leeson family,” he replied coldly.
The other Leeson family members said nothing, but Ivanov could barely hide his shock upon hearing that.
In Remdik, those with higher cultivation levels and greater strength would typically be the ones to call the shots within their
families.
Thus, he was stunned to see a mere God Realm cultivator giving orders to a Divine Realm cultivator.
This is ridiculous. He's seeking doom!
Ivanov was waiting to see how the cultivator would teach Ashton a lesson, but to his surprise, the man didn't take any further
action and instead dispersed his Pryncyp, stepped back, and sat crossed-legged.
“You're the patriarch, so you get to call the shots.”
Ivanov gaped incredulously at the sight.
He couldn't understand why the middle-aged man chose to bow down to Ashton when he could kill him easily.
Despite the fact that both Remdik and Chanaea were part of the same continent, Aploth, Ivanov could never comprehend the
family hierarchy in Chanaea since the culture and customs differed greatly in both countries.
One should take charge of what they specialized in.
Divine Realm cultivators may excel in combat, but the Leeson family needed to strategize and devise a plan in the current
situation
