Jared took measured steps toward Gilbert, and Gilbert drew back, his eyes clouding with fear.
It was not an easy feat to cultivate to such a level, yet all Gilbert's efforts were about to be stolen by someone else. He could even lose his life.
"N-No... I have a few Demonic Cultivators working for me, and I know of a few ancient ruins. I will tell you everything if you do not kill me," he begged Jared.
The most powerful individuals feared death the most.
Jared was not looking to let him go, but his resolve swayed when Gilbert mentioned the ancient ruins.
Gilbert knew his words had hit the mark when he saw the glint of hesitation in Jared's eyes. "Those ancient ruins date back thousands of years. No one knows their locations except me. If you spare me, I will do anything for you and help you find the ancient ruins."
Jared stopped in his tracks, his interest piqued by the mention of the ancient ruins.
A single Bliss City had elevated and doubled Jared's cultivation level.
His powers would grow exponentially if he could find more ancient ruins.
"You are powerless if you do not absorb his powers now. Besides, what's the use of those ancient ruins if you can't cultivate?" Arthur reminded.
Reality reasserted itself, and Jared remembered that he had drained his blood essence. What good would finding the ancient ruins do if he could not recover his abilities until he obtained Gilbert's powers?
He smacked Gilbert in the head and began activating his Focus Technique to acquire the latter's powers.
"Can you let him live after taking his powers? That way, you can still find out the location of the ancient ruins." Arthur only wanted Jared to take his abilities rather than his life.
"He will be a desiccated corpse by the time I finish siphoning his powers." Jared gave him a puzzled look.
He was still unable to control the full force of the Focus Technique, which Gilbert could not withstand as well. Gilbert would definitely perish once his powers were drained.
