A Man Like None Other

“Ah, don’t ask anymore. Let’s just eat!” Donovan didn’t want Jared to question any further.

“If you won’t speak up, then I’ll have to spill your secrets!”

Jared once again used Donovan’s ventures into the outside world as a threat against him.

Upon hearing this, Donovan could only sigh in resignation. “The truth is,” he said, “this Beast City prison isn’t really for holding any criminals. It’s actually a massive Spiritual Energy Drain Array. That ancient tree is the one draining the spiritual energy from the cultivators in the prison. Once their spiritual energy is depleted, the cultivators will inevitably meet their end. The spiritual energy that’s absorbed is stored within the ancient tree, which is then used for cultivation by those within the city lord mansion. The resources in Beast City are scarce, so the people in the city lord mansion have no choice but to cultivate using this method! This is a secret of the city lord mansion, you know. If Elder Roshan hadn’t told me, I would have been clueless. You mustn’t go around spreading this.”

Donovan was cautioning Jared, terrified that the latter might spill the beans.

After all, this was a top-secret matter of the city lord mansion. If this information were to leak out, it would likely cause chaos throughout Beast City. Who would willingly allow themselves to be thrown into jail then?

Upon hearing this, Jared instantly understood why the rules in Beast City were so strict. Even a minor mistake could land someone in prison.

So, there are such schemes going on behind the scenes!

No wonder when Jared saw Mia’s brother, he felt as if the man was completely drained of all his energy.

The subtle pull he had noticed in the prison cell turned out to be draining the spiritual energy from within the cultivators.

And it was done so subtly that the cultivators were drained of their spiritual energy without even realizing it, leading to their demise.
