The Legendary Man Chapter 793

The Legendary Man Chapter 793-The moment Jonathan entered the slums, he felt something amiss about the place.

Regardless of whether it was in Chanaea or West Region, the existence of cultivators had always been secretive. Cultivators were considered a rare breed.

However, in that particular slums, everyone he encountered seemed to have a minimum cultivation level of Precelestial.

Even the elderly with unimposing appearances in their seventies and eighties possessed a light bout of spiritual energy.

As he walked, Jonathan began to think he was imagining things.

It was as if cultivators were the most common type of people in that place.

All of them were staring at Jonathan with sharp gazes akin to hungry wolves choosing their prey.

If Kaga had not led the way and constantly showcased her spiritual energy to fend off these people, Jonathan and Hossom would have already been attacked.

“Kaga, what exactly is this place?” Hossom could not contain his curiosity.

“This is Dellmoor,” Kaga answered casually.

“If we are to calculate based on population density, Dellmoor probably has the highest density of cultivators. As you’ve seen, everyone here of all ages is a cultivator. This phenomenon should be related to the place we’re heading to now.” As Kaga spoke, she brought both of them to the entrance of a bar.

“There’s three of us. We’re premium members,” Kaga shouted to the young girl standing at the entrance while fishing a black card from her pocket.

The young girl took the card and glanced at it quickly. She then turned her head toward the interior of the bar.

“Three regular patrons,” the young girl shouted in the main language of West Region after returning the card to Kaga.

Jonathan glanced at Hossom, who had a bewildered look on his face.

Kaga beckoned them to enter the bar and follow a burly man. “You need not understand the exact situation of this place. Just concentrate on your purchase. As for the low-level cultivators that you saw outside, they’re the result of this exchange center.”

“In the 1920s, someone created a large-scale underground black market here where revealing one’s identity was not required. The goods sold here are mainly sourced via dirty means such as robbing and looting. The founder charges a commission for each transaction to ensure everyone can trade safely at the exchange center. As the number of transactions grew, this unknown exchange center grew in size and reputation too,” Kaga then started to explain the background of this place. “However, some cultivators had difficulties thriving in this place as their goods were not particularly valuable. Thus, they resorted to setting up stalls outside. Violent crimes then became almost a daily affair here, given that the buyers and sellers are crooks in one way or another. Hence, with time, the congregation of cultivators here increased, and the mortals were either killed or driven away. After more than a hundred years of development, this place then became what it is today.”

As Jonathan and Hossom listened to Kaga, they reached an elevator.

After the burly man pressed the button and the elevator door opened, Jonathan abruptly felt a surge of intense spiritual energy.

Hossom’s eyes widened when he saw the interior of the elevator.

The interior was huge; it could comfortably accommodate twenty to thirty standing persons.

The interior of the elevator was decorated with dazzling patterns and carvings.

A mortal would be awed by the intricacies of these patterns, but Jonathan and the rest could sense peculiar lines within the patterns.

An intense spiritual energy was flowing within these lines.

“This is a… portal formation?” Jonathan stepped into the elevator and raised his left hand to touch the lines when Kaga grabbed his wrist.

“Don’t touch it,” Kaga said.

Jonathan looked at Kaga and followed her gaze toward the elevator door, where the burly man stood holding a sword. He looked ready to wield it should Jonathan touch the lines.

“We know the rules.”

Kaga chuckled after speaking to the burly man.

The burly man put away his sword and threw three black masks at them. “You’d better not get into any trouble. It’s best for everyone that you behave.”

Kaga took the masks and distributed them to Jonathan and Hossom. “Put it on. We’re about to be teleported.”

Jonathan placed the mask in his hands and tried to apply his spiritual sense. That was when he discovered the mask was covered with a unique substance that could entirely block off his spiritual sense and spiritual energy. “What material is this mask made of? How is it able to block off spiritual sense?”

Hossom exclaimed in surprise after putting on the mask. “Mr. Goldstein, quick, look at me. Can you check my face out behind this mask?”

Hossom exclaimed in surprise after putting on the mask. “Mr. Goldstein, quick, look at me. Can you check my face out behind this mask?”

Kaga rolled her eyes at Hossom and questioned Jonathan, “Do we have to bring him along?”

Jonathan smiled and put on the mask. “I can’t help it. Hossom is an important partner of mine.”

“Partner?” Kaga looked at Hossom doubtfully for a moment before realization dawned upon her. “I understand now. You need someone to be cannon fodder.”

“You’re the cannon fodder!” Hossom shouted bitterly.

Just then, the elevator door shut completely. A radiant beam of light appeared, blinding the trio.

In the next instant, the light disappeared. Jonathan found himself in a crowded square upon slowly opening his eyes.

Throngs of people wearing the same black mask could be seen walking around the square.

They glanced at the trio momentarily before moving off hurriedly.

Jonathan wanted to use his spiritual sense but realized he could not utilize it.

When he instinctively raised his hands to reach for his mask, Kaga reminded in a muffled voice, “Don’t take off your mask.”

“This mask is made to block spiritual sense to prevent people from checking us out and vice versa. This is a form of self-concealment that helps to lower the threat toward other people. You’re declaring war on the members here if you remove your mask,” Kaga explained.

Jonathan slowly moved his hands away from his face after hearing what Kaga said.

At that moment, Hossom sneered, “I guess the only way to protect one’s identity is to fundamentally restrict the cultivators from reading other people.”

Hossom observed the passing human traffic around him. “You mean I can’t identify a person from other physical traits? For example, the body measurements or other—”

Hossom had not finished speaking when a masked man in a black robe approached them.

“Hello, folks. Let me introduce you to a magical cloak that can make you invisible.”

Chapter 1 The Return Of Asura

At Northern Crimson Prison located in Sanguine Desert, wind and sand swirled in the air, seemingly intent on submerging the entire prison. The prison confined the most sadistic murderers in the world, including serial killers who were the world's most wanted fugitives. That aside, the Rainy Night Butcher who had slaughtered a family of more than a dozen people and top-notch hackers who had infiltrated the Sanctum were also imprisoned there. Furthermore, the prison incarcerated the world's top killer who had failed to assassinate the leader of a particular country but annihilated more than a dozen special forces before going on the lam. Each and every single criminal imprisoned there had the blood of at least a dozen lives on their hands. Thus, their hands and legs were manacled with heavy iron chains. In front of their prison cells were fully armed guards who kept watch 24/7. The security was so tight that not even a fly could escape. However, there was an exception. The man seemingly never killed anyone and hadn't the slightest hint of murderous aura. In fact, it appeared as though he had been imprisoned there by mistake. There were no chains on his hands or feet, and he wasn't even wearing a prison uniform. No one knew his name, much less why he was being locked up in the prison. All they knew was that he came to Northern Crimson Prison alone a year ago without the escort of any guards. And surprisingly, the look in the eyes of the prison guards when they regarded him showed a faint trace of reverence. Bang! Bang! Bang! A prison guard holding a tray in his hand knocked on the man's prison door. “Mr. Goldstein, I'm here to deliver your meal!” “Okay. Just put it down.” The man didn't even bother to lift his head as he toyed with a Desert Eagle in his hands. In less than a minute, he had already disassembled the Desert Eagle and reassembled it perfectly. The speed of his hands was so swift that it would be nigh on impossible for even military personnel to trump him. “It's your last day here at Northern Crimson Prison, Mr. Goldstein!” The prison guard put the tray down, but he didn't leave. “It's been a year?” At long last, the man raised his head and revealed his countenance. He appeared to be very young, merely in his twenties. He wasn't fair but a touch tanned. The only intimidating thing about him was his eyes. They were sharp like blades, cold and devoid of emotion. The prison guard nodded slightly. “Yeah! The warden is already on his way back from abroad and will land in an hour.” “Why is he coming?” The man arched his eyebrow a fraction. “He's coming specially to see you off.” The warden of Northern Crimson Prison had been helming the place for decades, but he had never seen anyone off. At Northern Crimson Prison, he had a godlike existence and reigned supreme. No one dared to contradict him, let alone defy him. Yet, he was currently rushing back from abroad just to see the man off. The man sneered, his gaze cutting. “Hah! See me off, my foot! I think he wants to see me leave this place with his own eyes! As long as I'm at Northern Crimson Prison, he has no peace of mind! Tell him that he doesn't need to come and see me if he takes more than half an hour. Instead, just go back where he came from!” After saying that, he waved a dismissive hand and no longer paid the prison guard any mind. “Understood, Mr. Goldstein!” Lowering his head, the prison guard then left. A brief moment later, the man finally put down the Desert Eagle in his hands. His gaze turned a tad unfocused. “Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed. It seems that it's also time for me to leave this hellish place!” Half an hour later, a middle-aged man in military fatigues strode toward the prison right on the dot. The moment he stepped into the prison, the raucous place instantly plunged into silence. Not a single sound could be heard any longer. The inmates, who were usually violent and savage, acted as though they saw something terrifying at the sight of him. They were so petrified that they didn't even dare twitch a single muscle. And that person was none other than the warden of Northern Crimson Prison! Right that moment, he was cautiously knocking on the door of Cell No. 0. “I'm not late, am I, Mr. Goldstein?” The warden stood outside the door, not daring to enter without permission. “You're a second late.” The man known as Mr. Goldstein placidly glanced at him before waving a hand and drawling, “Come in.” “Right away, Mr. Goldstein!” The warden gingerly pushed the door open and walked in. “How did you find it here for the past year, Mr. Goldstein?” “Passable.” In a mild voice, the man expounded, “The food has been pretty good, but it has been too boring without a woman! How nauseating to be with a group of men day in and day out!” “As you know, Mr. Goldstein, no woman is allowed in this prison...” The warden wore an aggrieved expression. This is a prison, not a clubhouse! As such, what would it look like to smuggle in a few women? “Okay, drop that pitiful act!” The man threw him an impatient look. “Is it time yet?” “Yes!” Nodding, the warden declared, “You should be leaving, Mr. Goldstein!” “Let's leave, then!” No sooner had the man raised a hand than the warden immediately stepped forward and helped him up from the ground. “Mr. Goldstein, have you found the item you've been looking for in the past year?”
