The Legendary Man

Chapter 1131 Own Strategies
Ivanov's strategy was to delay the situation until an opportunity arose for him to enter the small world and explore it.
However, the Leeson family had the same idea, too.
The concept of bribery was well-known among the eight respectable families in Chanaea. Each family had core members who
had been tempted by other families with bribes.
Human selfishness and greed had no limits, and therefore it was impossible to eliminate all traitors.
The other seven families should've already received news about the emergence of a small world here.
As a result, their members were rushing here at top speed, and with all the eight respectable families present, a conflict was
bound to erupt.
If the Leeson family's two Divine Realm cultivators tried to attack Ivanov now, they would exhaust their energy even if they
succeeded in killing him.
This would leave them vulnerable to attacks from the Divine Realm cultivators of the other seven families.
As a result, the conflict would erupt prematurely, putting the Leeson family at a disadvantage.
Ashton's plan wasn't about the Leeson family taking the entire small world for themselves.
The disturbance caused by the small world was significant. While other factions hadn't arrived yet, it was only a matter of time. It
would be hard for them to get their share even without things escalating into a conflict.
If the Leeson family insisted on claiming everything for themselves, they would be risking total annihilation.
Maintaining the balance is the only way out. As long as I can keep the balance, Uncle Quintus will have the opportunity to gain
more valuable treasures. That's all I can do for him.
Ashton's gaze landed on Ivanov, who was standing across from him.
“Mr. Ivanov, although the Leeson family may have been the first to discover this small world, we cannot claim ownership over a
space that operates independently from our world. It is likely that other families and factions are on their way here as we speak.

Let us remain calm for now and wait until everyone has arrived. At that point, we can open the formation and allow everyone to
explore the small world. Of course, if you wish to inform Remdik of the discovery, they are welcome to send their own
representatives to join us. We have no objections to that.”
With that, Ashton sat cross-legged and started adjusting his spiritual energy and vitality.
Both Divine Realm cultivators sat on each side of Ashton to protect him.
The individuals present were highly skilled cultivators who seldom encountered opponents of their caliber, but at present, the
situation called for a battle of wits.
The Leeson family only had Ashton and Winston to rely upon now.
On the hilltop across from them, Ivanov noticed the change in the Leeson family's attitude and fell into deep thought.
Ashton had made himself clear, so it was obvious he wanted to buy time for Quintus.
The two other Divine Realm cultivators were around, so Ivanov couldn't barge into the small world by force. Now, he had no
choice but to wait for the other forces to arrive.
Ivanov would never contact the other forces in Remdik as the tsar and his family had fallen out completely.
The interference of Sanctuary was causing the stable system formed by Remdik's government, the respectable families, and
Sanctuary itself to crumble swiftly.
Right now, Ivanov had to do his best to strengthen his family.
In the three-way conflict, Sanctuary and the tsar remained independent, while his family became the sacrificial lamb among the
many respectable families in Remdik.
Ivanov wouldn't be concerned if they were discussing an individual's cultivation level.
However, when it came to the overall evaluation of the strength of all parties, his family wasn't powerful enough to be on equal
footing with Sanctuary or the tsar.
The small world was the perfect opportunity for his family to rise through the ranks.
He whipped out his communication device to call Aidan.

“Aidan, as long as you work with the rest to take Avery out, I will forgive you for killing Antoine,” he declared.
The only outsider in the allied forces was Avery, and the rest were Ivanov's own men.
Ivanov dared not kill Avery as the latter was a spy for the tsar.
If he were to take out Avery, it meant that he had completely fallen out with the tsar.
Nevertheless, Ivanov couldn't care less now.
He saw this as the perfect opportunity to make a move. The success of his plan would determine whether his family could rise
through the ranks and become as strong as the tsar and Sanctuary.
After the call ended, Ivanov made another call.
“Lord Jika, this is Ivanov. I have something important to report to you. A small world has emerged in Doveston, Chanaea...”
The Leeson family and Ivanov weren't the only ones coming up with respective plans, for the other forces were busy making
arrangements after learning about the appearance of the small world.
The individuols present were highly skilled cultivotors who seldom encountered opponents of their coliber, but ot present, the
situotion colled for o bottle of wits.
The Leeson fomily only hod Ashton ond Winston to rely upon now.
On the hilltop ocross from them, Ivonov noticed the chonge in the Leeson fomily's ottitude ond fell into deep thought.
Ashton hod mode himself cleor, so it wos obvious he wonted to buy time for Quintus.
The two other Divine Reolm cultivotors were oround, so Ivonov couldn't borge into the smoll world by force. Now, he hod no
choice but to woit for the other forces to orrive.
Ivonov would never contoct the other forces in Remdik os the tsor ond his fomily hod follen out completely.
The interference of Sonctuory wos cousing the stoble system formed by Remdik's government, the respectoble fomilies, ond
Sonctuory itself to crumble swiftly.
Right now, Ivonov hod to do his best to strengthen his fomily.

In the three-woy conflict, Sonctuory ond the tsor remoined independent, while his fomily become the socrificiol lomb omong the
mony respectoble fomilies in Remdik.
Ivonov wouldn't be concerned if they were discussing on individuol's cultivotion level.
However, when it come to the overoll evoluotion of the strength of oll porties, his fomily wosn't powerful enough to be on equol
footing with Sonctuory or the tsor.
The smoll world wos the perfect opportunity for his fomily to rise through the ronks.
He whipped out his communicotion device to coll Aidon.
“Aidon, os long os you work with the rest to toke Avery out, I will forgive you for killing Antoine,” he declored.
The only outsider in the ollied forces wos Avery, ond the rest were Ivonov's own men.
Ivonov dored not kill Avery os the lotter wos o spy for the tsor.
If he were to toke out Avery, it meont thot he hod completely follen out with the tsor.
Nevertheless, Ivonov couldn't core less now.
He sow this os the perfect opportunity to moke o move. The success of his plon would determine whether his fomily could rise
through the ronks ond become os strong os the tsor ond Sonctuory.
After the coll ended, Ivonov mode onother coll.
“Lord Jiko, this is Ivonov. I hove something importont to report to you. A smoll world hos emerged in Doveston, Chonoeo...”
The Leeson fomily ond Ivonov weren't the only ones coming up with respective plons, for the other forces were busy moking
orrongements ofter leorning obout the oppeoronce of the smoll world.
At the same time, upon hearing the news, respectable families and sects from all over Chanaea were making their way to the
usually desolate Delisgar Ridge in Doveston.
At the same time, upon hearing the news, respectable families and sects from all over Chanaea were making their way to the
usually desolate Delisgar Ridge in Doveston.

Jonathan was one of them.
After making the necessary arrangements in Eastern Army, he quickly made his way to Delisgar Ridge.
Despite not knowing what had happened, Jonathan had a feeling that the spiritual energy tide was something incredible.
Before the eight respectable families could cause Joshua's death, Jonathan's only mission was to save him and make him join
Asura's Office.
As Jonathan charged ahead at full speed, he didn't forget to sense the change in the spiritual energy around him to determine
the correct direction.
Right now, the spiritual energy in the air had returned to normal. If Jonathan's cultivation method wasn't unique enough, he
wouldn't have noticed the slight difference.
Fortunately, Jonathan didn't have to rely on the change in spiritual energy to determine the direction as it was pretty easy to
analyze and discover Joshua's whereabouts.
Jonathan only tried sensing the spiritual energy permeating the area as he was attempting to verify if the location was the valley
he had previously discovered.
Until now, both directions pointed to the same location, so he was certain that the core of the spiritual energy tide was nearby
that location.
Joshua, stay alive under the respectable families' torture. I still need you for my plan!
As that thought occurred to Jonathan, a familiar voice rang in his ear. “Hello? Jonathan? Are you heading to Doveston?”
When Hayden's voice burst out of the strategy communication device, Jonathan jolted in fright.
The device was planted into his ear canal. Jonathan was in a hurry and forgot to remove it.
Previously, Zachary and Kane had already handed their communication device to Hayden and Joshua.
It seemed like they were able to contact Jonathan as they didn't remove their communication devices too.
Jonathan utilized his laptop to scan for signals of nearby communication devices and detected two rapidly moving signals
located fifty miles northeast of his current location.

“You two are indeed here!”
