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.
