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 Stellario 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 claimed 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 the laws 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 how come the things in our storage rings don't obey
the laws 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 Blackwood family had secretly allied with Asura's Office, and starting with the Remdik expedition, Sirius and the Blackwood
family had been providing substantial support to Asura's Office behind the scenes.
Although they belonged to different factions, their actual relationship 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?” Stellario inquired.
Jonathan extended his hand and waved it in front of him. The earth around them rapidly receded, forming a circular space with a
diameter of about ten meters.
Jonathan took out a flashlight and shone it ahead, only to discover that what lay in front of them was not soil at all but a smooth,
jet-black stone surface.
Almost instinctively, everyone released their spiritual senses.
“Wow...”
Hayden reached out and touched the stone slab that seemed to have been cut by a blade.
“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 glanced 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 onslaught of demon beasts during the beast wave. It's incredibly sturdy, and the
formations layered 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 regular days,” Joshua explained. “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 a large 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 Blackwood 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
plans.
While she had strong combat 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 similar 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.
Becoming the center of attention made Merilyn feel somewhat uncomfortable. She squeezed Stellario'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 village beyond had infiltrated South Outer City before. They said the guards at the South Outer
City gates were lax, 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.
“Stellario, 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 Stellario.
“Get lost!” Stellario 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 are!”
