The Legendary Man

Chapter 1227

Chapter 1227 Greed

Listening to their conversation, the old man, standing opposite them, narrowed his eyes at Jonathan and asked curiously, “The Whitley family? Do you know something?”

After hearing that, Jonathan fell silent for a dozen seconds before he spoke again. “What I know is merely some speculation, but at our place, there is a family that suddenly appeared two thousand years ago. Moreover, I'm acquainted with the descendant of the family. According to him, his family originated from here.”

As soon as Jonathan finished his sentence, the old man dropped his cane and grabbed Jonathan's arms.

“Where are they?” the old man asked with a trembling voice.

Seboxia discreetly emitted a trace of green aura from his fingers, turning it into a thin thread that wound around the old man's arms.

If the old man made any sudden movements, Seboxia could sever his arms in an instant, effectively neutralizing most of the old man's combat power.

Jonathan slightly shook his head at Seboxia.

Then, he shifted his attention to the old man and slowly lifted his arms. “Sir, please control your emotions. We haven't established a trusting relationship. If you continue to act so agitatedly, we may have to defend ourselves, even if it means you'll kill us.”

Only then did the old man notice the thin threads wrapped around his arms.

He looked at Seboxia, standing behind him, and warily took two steps back.

Although Seboxia hadn't made any move since his appearance, the old man could sense Seboxia could pose a threat to his life if a fight were to break out.


“I-I was too eager,” the old man explained sheepishly. “However, if a member of the White family has truly returned, that will be the key to destroying Yannopolis because some restricted arcane arrays in Yannopolis can only be unlocked by the White family's bloodline.”

Jonathan and Stellario exchanged glances, both sensing a hint of caution in one another's eyes.

The old man's attitude toward them had been constantly changing since he showed up there.

Furthermore, even after he told them about the prophecy related to the small world, Jonathan and Stellario could tell the old man was still holding back a significant amount of information.

Jonathan took out Heaven Sword and wielded it in his hand. “Sir, you've been asking to see my Heaven Sword. I wonder if you know about this sword's origin?”

Having acquired the sword in a dangerous place, Jonathan named it Heaven Sword since there wasn't any inscription on the blade.

However, from the old man's reaction earlier, it was evident that he recognized the sword.

In the past, Jonathan had been drawn into a mysterious illusionary realm by Heaven Sword more than once. Hence, he was curious to learn the sword's origin.

With Seboxia there, Jonathan wasn't scared of the old man stealing the sword, so he decided to take out Heaven Sword and handed it over.

The old man received Heaven Sword with both hands and repeatedly stroked the blade with trembling fingers while uttering excitedly, “There's no mistake... This is the White family's Devil Slaying Sword. It was an item possessed by the past generations of the head of the White family! I'm sure of it! Outsiders have entered the small world, and the White family has returned. The prophecy has truly been fulfilled. The time for Yannopolis to meet its downfall has finally come!”

Devil Slaying Sword? Taking in the old man's demeanor, Jonathan reached out to retrieve Heaven Sword.

A strange feeling surged within Jonathan as the divine weapon he had obtained was suddenly recognized by another person.

The old man stared longingly at the storage ring on Jonathan's hand. “You mentioned earlier that members of the Whitley family had entered the small world. May I know how many of them have come?”

“One.”

“One?” The old man looked at Jonathan in utter disbelief. “How can there only be one of them?”

“The Whitley family underwent a great change ten years ago, and there's only one surviving member now.” Jonathan shifted his gaze onto Stellario somewhat awkwardly as he spoke.

If The Whitley family was genuinely the White family from the small world, the eight respectable families annihilating the Whitley family ten years ago had practically thwarted the White family's two-thousand-year-long scheme.

“Why are you looking at me?” Stellario scratched his head guiltily. “Ten years ago, I was only thirteen years old. I didn't kill them.”
