The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1240

The man said nothing further and made no move to punish Jonathan and Stellario for the death of the prison guard. After giving them one last glance, he swiftly turned on his heels and departed from the scene.

Over ten minutes later, Stellario got to his feet, his face pale.

He took out two Spirit Rejuvenating Pills from his storage ring and swiftly consumed them. With the pills in his system, he activated the cultivation method passed down in the Mallory family, extracting the meager amount of spiritual energy contained within the pills before the prison’s formation could get to it.

“Jon, there is something strange about that man. He didn’t use any spiritual energy but managed to seal my elixir field and energy field.”

Jonathan glanced at Marmount’s body in the prison cell across from them and let out a soft sigh.

“That man just now could be using pure physical strength, so be careful.”

“Pure physical strength?”

Stellario’s expression tensed up briefly before he shook his head.

“Don’t joke around. If he could suppress me using only his physical strength, why didn’t he kill us earlier?”

“Why would he kill us?” Jonathan furrowed his brows, fixing his gaze on Stellario.

Stellario cast a quick glance at the scattered bones outside the prison cell. “Hey, have you forgotten already? We just killed one of the prison guards here.”

“Yes, we did kill a prison guard.” Jonathan still sounded confused. “Even so, why would he kill us over the death of a mere prison guard?”

Stellario gaped at Jonathan incredulously.

“Isn’t that enough reason? We killed his subordinate!”

“Are you talking about an Outer City envoy?” Jonathan responded calmly. “Did you forget how they come about?”

Stellario stared at Jonathan, obviously dumbfounded.

Previously, Jonathan had shared all the information with him, including details about the envoys in Yannopolis.

These so-called envoys were actually selected from the villagers of Village 108. They were given the opportunity to advance into the God Realm. After that, the cultivators from the southern region and northern region would swap places at Yannopolis’ Outer City.

It meant that every villager of the small world could become a Yannopolis envoy if they were lucky enough.

“Do you understand now?” Jonathan asked Stellario, who looked dazed.

“A prison guard holds the lowest position regardless of where we are. This is especially true in the small world, where human lives are of little value. As long as we are deemed more valuable than the prison guard, the one in charge wouldn’t take our lives.”

“Are you suggesting that…” Stellario’s voice trailed off, his eyes searching Jonathan’s face with uncertainty. “You had already deduced all of this before we made our move?”

In response, Jonathan merely flashed a smile.

“That’s not a deduction. I’m just going along with the flow.”

Seeing how calm Jonathan looked, Stellario turned around and approached Merilyn, who was still unconscious.

Despite knowing Jonathan meant well, Stellario couldn’t shake the feeling that he was being used as a mere pawn in Jonathan’s plans.

Sensing Stellario’s displeasure, Jonathan made no move to explain himself.

Their partnership was solely based on necessity, and it was not like they were in a romantic relationship. Jonathan believed he didn’t owe Stellario an explanation for every detail of his plans.

Stellario gently combed Merilyn’s disheveled hair.
