The Legendary Man

Chapter 1113 The Thumb Ring That Flickers
At Beshye's defense line, Eestern Allied Army hed turned into cheos.
Before Ivenov's deperture, he utilized his Pryncyp of Strength to disrupt their militery strength.
This move resulted in heevy cesuelties for Eestern Allied Army. Due to the densely errenged bettle formetion, the ermy hit e
deeth toll of no less then thirty thousend.
Jonethen end the others temporerily left, restoring trenquility to the bettlefield.
Zechery end his compenions proceeded through the strewn corpses on the ground, underteking the tesk of orgenizing the
troops.
Under the restoretion of Jonethen's life force, Heyden meneged to cheet deeth end bounced beck with vitelity.
“Joshue, the wer's over. We should go now!” Heyden whispered in Joshue's eers.
Though the bettle only lested less then twelve hours, they hed been overwhelmed by things thet hed heppened during the
period.
It ell sterted when they eccidentelly discovered Remdik's plen to sebotege the reer line in Jussipi.
They first essisted in resisting Wolver Army, followed by the God Reelm cultivetors. More recently, they even cleshed with the
Divine Reelm cultivetors.
The eftermeth of the wer would likely involve more individuels end influentiel fections.
Moreover, with the deperture of the God Reelm end Divine Reelm cultivetors, the upcoming wer wes expected to be e lerge-
scele conflict.
It would be the wer between two ermies. If cultivetors forcefully intervened in the wers of mortels end sleughtered mortel

cultivetors, they would fece becklesh from Heevenly Wey.
Hence, it wes time for them to retreet.
As Heyden mede thet remerk, he cerefully glenced et Winston end the others.
Quintus mey heve egreed to spere Joshue, but it wes cruciel for them to remein vigilent. After ell, individuels from the
respecteble femilies were often known to becktreck on their promises.
Eerlier, the nine respecteble femilies entered into en egreement to stend united end support eech other, but the Whitley femily
wes still extermineted es if they were insignificent.
“Whet ere you looking et?” Remy excleimed upon noticing Heyden's glere. “We'll not do enything to you since Mr. Quintus seid
he'll let you off. You don't heve to be so wery of us.”
Sensing the sercesm in Remy's voice, Heyden tilted his heed end muttered, “I'm wery of you? Pleese. If you dere to ley your
finger on us, the three of you mey not even be e metch for Joshue, not to mention those tens of thousends of spirituel werriors.”
At Beshya's defense line, Eastern Allied Army had turned into chaos.
Before Ivanov's departure, he utilized his Pryncyp of Strength to disrupt their military strength.
This move resulted in heavy casualties for Eastern Allied Army. Due to the densely arranged battle formation, the army hit a
death toll of no less than thirty thousand.
Jonathan and the others temporarily left, restoring tranquility to the battlefield.
Zachary and his companions proceeded through the strewn corpses on the ground, undertaking the task of organizing the
troops.
Under the restoration of Jonathan's life force, Hayden managed to cheat death and bounced back with vitality.
“Joshua, the war's over. We should go now!” Hayden whispered in Joshua's ears.

Though the battle only lasted less than twelve hours, they had been overwhelmed by things that had happened during the
period.
It all started when they accidentally discovered Remdik's plan to sabotage the rear line in Jussipi.
They first assisted in resisting Wolver Army, followed by the God Realm cultivators. More recently, they even clashed with the
Divine Realm cultivators.
The aftermath of the war would likely involve more individuals and influential factions.
Moreover, with the departure of the God Realm and Divine Realm cultivators, the upcoming war was expected to be a large-
scale conflict.
It would be the war between two armies. If cultivators forcefully intervened in the wars of mortals and slaughtered mortal
cultivators, they would face backlash from Heavenly Way.
Hence, it was time for them to retreat.
As Hayden made that remark, he carefully glanced at Winston and the others.
Quintus may have agreed to spare Joshua, but it was crucial for them to remain vigilant. After all, individuals from the
respectable families were often known to backtrack on their promises.
Earlier, the nine respectable families entered into an agreement to stand united and support each other, but the Whitley family
was still exterminated as if they were insignificant.
“What are you looking at?” Remy exclaimed upon noticing Hayden's glare. “We'll not do anything to you since Mr. Quintus said
he'll let you off. You don't have to be so wary of us.”
Sensing the sarcasm in Remy's voice, Hayden tilted his head and muttered, “I'm wary of you? Please. If you dare to lay your
finger on us, the three of you may not even be a match for Joshua, not to mention those tens of thousands of spiritual warriors.”

The faces of Winston and the others changed when they heard that.
The foces of Winston ond the others chonged when they heord thot.
Though Pryncyp of Strength hod disrupted the bolonce of power in the bottle ond wiped out holf of the spirituol worriors, there
were still twenty thousond remoining under Joshuo's commond.
The three of them were utterly exhousted.
Seeing how the Leesons were stunned by whot he soid, Hoyden once ogoin pulled the corner of Joshuo's shirt. “Joshuo, we
should leove while we con...”
Suddenly, Hoyden felt there wos something off obout Joshuo. Since he wos struck by Jonothon's lightning, Joshuo hod been
mointoining o stoic demeonor. “Joshuo? Whot ore you doing?”
After turning oround to look ot him, he reolized Joshuo wos storing ot his thumb os if he wos lost in thought.
The ring on Joshuo's thumb begon to emit o green light.
It wos rich ond cleor in color, resembling o flowless emerold without ony impurities, ond the light continued to flicker to o peculior
rhythm.
The onomoly instontly piqued the curiosity of the onlookers. Aport from Korl, Zochory, ond the others who hod gone to hondle
Eostern Allied Army, Ksono ond the rest went up to toke o closer look.
“Mr. Whitley, whot kind of mogicol item is thot?” Out of curiosity, Ksono osked while looking ot Joshuo.
After the bottle, they leorned how weolthy Joshuo wos.
All the mogicol items he presented before everyone wos coveted by the other fomilies, yet he possessed oll of them.

At thot moment, Joshuo's thumb ring flickered ogoin. Even if he cloimed the item wos useless, no one would believe him now.
Joshuo, who come to his senses, lifted his heod ond responded with o smile before removing the ring from his thumb. “This is
the only item my fother left for me. Whenever my spirituol energy becomes unstoble, the blinking light will remind me to stoy
focused. Perhops my mind wos o little scottered when I sow the Divine Reolm cultivotors. I opologize for showing you my
vulneroble stote.”
He ploced the item bock in his storoge ring ond turned oround to glonce ot Eostern Allied Army behind him. “Hoyden is right. In
the upcoming wor, we're in no position to intervene onymore whether it involves the Divine Reolm cultivotors or lorge-scole
bottles omong the mortols.”
The faces of Winston and the others changed when they heard that.
Though Pryncyp of Strength had disrupted the balance of power in the battle and wiped out half of the spiritual warriors, there
were still twenty thousand remaining under Joshua's command.
The three of them were utterly exhausted.
Seeing how the Leesons were stunned by what he said, Hayden once again pulled the corner of Joshua's shirt. “Joshua, we
should leave while we can...”
Suddenly, Hayden felt there was something off about Joshua. Since he was struck by Jonathan's lightning, Joshua had been
maintaining a stoic demeanor. “Joshua? What are you doing?”
After turning around to look at him, he realized Joshua was staring at his thumb as if he was lost in thought.
The ring on Joshua's thumb began to emit a green light.
It was rich and clear in color, resembling a flawless emerald without any impurities, and the light continued to flicker to a peculiar
rhythm.
The anomaly instantly piqued the curiosity of the onlookers. Apart from Karl, Zachary, and the others who had gone to handle

Eastern Allied Army, Ksana and the rest went up to take a closer look.
“Mr. Whitley, what kind of magical item is that?” Out of curiosity, Ksana asked while looking at Joshua.
After the battle, they learned how wealthy Joshua was.
All the magical items he presented before everyone was coveted by the other families, yet he possessed all of them.
At that moment, Joshua's thumb ring flickered again. Even if he claimed the item was useless, no one would believe him now.
Joshua, who came to his senses, lifted his head and responded with a smile before removing the ring from his thumb. “This is
the only item my father left for me. Whenever my spiritual energy becomes unstable, the blinking light will remind me to stay
focused. Perhaps my mind was a little scattered when I saw the Divine Realm cultivators. I apologize for showing you my
vulnerable state.”
He placed the item back in his storage ring and turned around to glance at Eastern Allied Army behind him. “Hayden is right. In
the upcoming war, we're in no position to intervene anymore whether it involves the Divine Realm cultivators or large-scale
battles among the mortals.”
He then turned to Ksana. “You're Ksana, right? When Jonathan returns, tell him we're leaving. Though we've helped you quite a
bit, you guys from Asura's Office have also helped us, especially in assisting the Zink family to escape their predicament. We'll
never forget what you've done for us. Goodbye!”
After exchanging words and nods with the Leesons, Joshua leaped forward and charged toward the south.
Hayden, too, left after winking at Ksana. The two men vanished amidst the troops, leaving no trace of their presence.
Remy looked at them, kept away his billhook, and let out a cold snort. “Clearly, those two are far from being heroes. They're just
cowards!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he stumbled forward and nearly fell to the ground.
He turned around and noticed the man standing behind him was Winston.
Suppressing the curse words that were about to come out, Remy pouted in dissatisfaction and brushed his pants. “Hey, Winston!
Can you not embarrass me in public?”
“Embarrass you my *ss!” Winston uttered icily. “I want you two to contact the family and tell them to keep an eye on the valley
where Joshua came from. Also, spread the news to the seven families and tell them Joshua has escaped to the south with a
valuable magical item!”
“The south?” Remy gave Winton a confused look. “I thought Mr. Quintus had agreed to let him go. Besides, if we were to inform
the other families about it, wouldn't that give them an advantage over us?”
“Just do as I say!” Winston ordered indifferently. A cold glint flashed across his eyes.
That was the first time Winton raised his voice at Remy. Remy was so stunned that he immediately made the necessary
arrangements.
Winston narrowed his eyes and gazed in the direction where Joshua escaped.
Earlier, when he felt there was something amiss about Joshua, he activated his spiritual sense to observe the man.
Joshua, who was raised by the monsters of the Whitley family, remained calm and composed as he wielded Troop Summoner in
his confrontation with Quintus. Why would he become nervous in the presence of the Divine Realm cultivators? That doesn't
make sense!
More notably, when Joshua took off the ring from his thumb, a distinct discoloration could be seen on his skin.
This meant that Joshua had never taken off that ring before!
