Eternal Thief
960 Soul Extraction
In an abode on top of the misty mountain, High Elder Jonathan was cultivating as he sat cross-legged like a statue. He has a very high standing in the Soul Flame Sect and was someone only below the sect leader and above everyone.
However, his life was quite miserable since he had encountered Ace in the lower lands, where he sneakily sent his clones to cultivate an unknown cultivation technique.
Although he had thought that the danger was dealt with, Ace appeared again, shocking him to the core, and a sense of danger loomed over him.
Afterward, he did his best to get rid of him by spreading his findings, but even that failed because Ace was simply too powerful and sneaky. He lived in constant fear of Ace.
Jonathan even left the sect to hide from him, but even after many years, Ace never seemed to come for him and had vanished. This could only mean Ace either didn't know his true identity or simply didn't care about him anymore.
This greatly lessens the burden on Jonathan, and after thinking about it, it made perfect sense that Ace didn't know who he was or his origin since he only encountered him through his clones.
Even if Ace came after him, it should be his clone, which he had already absorbed, and that person didn't exist any longer, so in the end, Jonathan returned since he was unwilling to give up his position.
But who could've thought over ten years ago that someone even more terrifying than Ace would come to find him? It was none other than Dream Shatter and Union Lord!
However, the strangest part was he didn't remember what happened that day. The only thing he remembered was that he was visited by those two, and afterward, everything was blank.
He didn't even dare to tell anyone, afraid of offending them, and since he was completely fine and his treasures were still there, he buried them into his heart and continued with his life.
Afterward, nothing out of the ordinary happened, and many things changed. Now, he was cultivating and trying to break through in the law awareness realm. His clone has already helped him reach the quasi-law awareness realm.
If he had his other clone, he would've already been in the law awareness realm long ago, and whenever he thought about it, he ground his teeth in hatred and wished Ace would die a horrible death.
Furthermore, with the recent situation with Dream Shatter, he didn't dare to go out and was hiding in his mountain in the guise of breaking through the Law Awareness Realm, which was still too far away from him.
"Old ghost, you have an old friend visiting you."
A calm yet mocking voice suddenly rang and startled Jonathan so much that he almost suffered Qi deviation, and he instantly opened his eyes. He was appalled when he saw a man in white with an otherworldly handsome face grinning at him.
Jonathan couldn't help but find that face somewhat familiar, especially those dark blue eyes that seemed to see right through him, but what was more important? How in the world did this guy enter here without alarming anyone and escape his senses?
"Who are you!?" Jonathan stood up with vigilance in his eyes and secretly circulated his Qi.
Ace remained fearless as he replied smilingly, "Now, this is hurtful. Don't you remember your old friend from River Flower City?"
Jonathan instantly trembled to hear that name, and that mature face finally overlapped with the face of a twelve-year-old boy. He couldn't help but take a step back as his expression was turning white and blue.
"Y-y-y…you're him!" He stuttered as he tried. His legs were shaking now. He had never expected the brat from back then to turn out to be a terrifying existence of the present, and now he was standing before him in a nightmare!
"Now, what kind of expression is that? It's very hurtful." Ace sneered with derision. He had waited for a long time to see that expression. He could feel Jonathan's despair.
Ace still remembered how this bastard almost killed him back then at the treasure mountain, and then he was sent into the demon's territory. If not for the thief house, he wouldn't been very miserable.
Normally, Ace isn't someone to hold a grudge so easily, but if he does, he doesn't leave it unresolved. Even though Jonathan was like an ant to his current self, he had to pay for what he had done. Especially since Jonathan had tried to trick him using his parents, and he also knows about the White Crown.
If not for Jonathan, Ace would've never found out about his parents and White Crown, so coming here was also to resolve this knot in his heart. He had still yet to hear about the White Crown, and even after his own investigation, he found very little information about them.
The White Crown was like a legend that only existed in people's memories, and there were no clues about its whereabouts.
So, after finding out about the Mortal Sky Heart Empire, Ace reached the conclusion that the White Crown might be from there, and they had a way to come to the ten continents as they pleased.
But they were too mysterious and hid their traces meticulously. Only a few records prove their existence, and the people who know about them are rare. Even the Sea Kings Federation has very little information about them, but they also know about the White Crown.
Nonetheless, the grudge against Jonathan was something Ace had to resolve, so he wasn't here for the White Crown since he knew Jonathan didn't know about them as much as he did now. To sum it up, Ace's visit was personal.
Since his avatar was free now, he decided to end it all.
Jonathan also knew that the calamity he thought had passed finally came, and without hesitation, powerful Qi burst out from his body, and he shot towards the roof, clearly wanting to flee. As for fighting Ace, he didn't even think about it since he knew all the legends of Sky Stealer.
Looking at Jonathan's reaction, Ace's icy smile grew, and he pointed his finger at Jonathan's back. The next moment, a dark golden sword Qi shot out.
Jonathan's fine hair stood all of suddenly when he sensed mortal danger approaching.
But alas, he was no match for Ace, and before he could even react, the dark golden streak directly penetrated into his body and destroyed his entire meridians!
Although his soul cultivation foundation was untouched, without his meridians, he couldn't channel soul Qi, and it became a potent poison for his body!
All his power scattered, and he fell instantly and vomited huge amounts of blood with some broken internal arteries. Now, even if he had soul Qi, he couldn't use it, or his body would blow up.
"Tsk, tsk, and here I thought you would at least have some guts to face me." Ace shook his head in disappointment before walking towards Jonathan.
Jonathan's mind was a mess as unimaginable pain raged in his entire body, and fear of death enveloped him. His vision was blurry, and despair gripped his heart, and he started to regret targeting Ace. If he wasn't greedy, he might've had a chance to have a very good relationship with Ace, yet he threw it away for his greed.
He wanted to plead, but all that came out of his mouth was more blood.
Ace finally stopped him in front of Jonathan. He had no pity for him, and he directly placed his hand on his head.
Although he can't use a soul probe with this body, he has an even more terrifying innate ability to extract what he wants and inflict even more pain than soul search, and the person wouldn't even die unless he wanted them to.
Without hesitation, he activated it, "Soul Extraction!"
