While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Adam and Nathaniel glared into each other's eyes once again and it was almost as though their gazes were battling against each other.

"Would you like to hear something interesting that has something to do with the Blood Moon Group?" asked Nathaniel.

"Yes, I would,"

"Well, there are some things you need to find out for yourself, but let's talk about the city that you claim is now under your control,"

"The Epstein Family has joined under your faction and the young family head is your friend, so I am sure you know about what has happened in the past generation of the family,"

Adam nodded his head, while he also noticed that the Silent Ghost's eyes lit up as soon as the Epstein Family was mentioned.

"The one that gave the poison to the great elder that poisoned your friend's grandfather, mother and father was supplied by none other than the Blood Moon Group. They were also the one's that had been pulling strings in the city for years and was the cause of the ancestors of each of the families turning on the one that granted them the power,"

"You must know the story of how a mysterious man, who is an ancient that managed to escape and hide from them and wanted to form a place of his own. He found 6 talented individuals and nurtured them and aided them in forming cultivation families."

"They then turned on him and poisoned him then attempted to kill them. Well, guess what, the poison was supplied by the Blood Moon Group and they were also the one's instigated the conflict, which is unusual considering that at the time, the Blood Moon Group was yet to be fully established. Why do you think that the leader and founder of the Blood Moon Group would do that?"

Adam smiled, and he was quite sure that Nathaniel knew about his master and the fact that his master's brother was the founder and leader of the Blood Moon Group, but that was information that even ancients were unlikely to know about.

It made Adam even more wary of Nathaniel, but more interested in him, since he seemed to know too much just like someone that Adam could think of.

The more he spoke, the more he seemed like he could truly be the person that Adam was thinking of, but Adam couldn't confirm his theory yet.

Keep your enemies closer than your friends.

He trusted his friends and didn't need to be cautious or wary of them, while Nathaniel was entirely different and both of them were trying to draw out as much from the other as they could while making their own speculations.

"I do not know much about the Blood Moon Group's previous leader or founder and what you are talking about happened too long ago. However, from what I can tell, the founder of the Blood Moon Group is likely to have also been an ancient and might have had personal reasons to do such things to the ancient," answered Adam.

He wanted to make it seem as though he was unsure of the truth about the leader of the Blood Moon Group and the less that Nathaniel knew about what Adam knew would give him an advantage.

"Previous leader? What makes you think the founder has passed away? The ancients are more than capable of living for hundreds and maybe even thousands of years,"

"Just a hunch, but either way, whoever is leading them will be killed by my hands,"

"Back to the story, the ancestors then went on to turn on each other and become rivals and enemies, but they only did so after taking down the weakest of the families that specialised in medicine. All the ancestors passed on and declined over time, but one of the ancestors had never been confirmed to be dead..." said Nathaniel before smiling and pausing.

"And the Silent Ghost is the ancestor of the Epstein Family. The coward that left his family and didn't even return after all the progress he made and also the one that hasn't even truly been able to tap into their potential," stated Adam, continuing what Nathaniel was about to say.

"You are quite sharp, boy. And you are right, this guy was taken in by a branch of a sect that was in the ancient lands. The branch he went to wasn't on the ancient lands and he was only an external discipline, not talented enough to become an inner disciple of the sect that would allow him to be accepted by them,"

"I expected as much. Ever since you mentioned the Epstein Family, this old man has been unable to sit still,"

Looking at Adam with eyes of admiration and reverence, the Silent Ghost wanted to know how his family was doing and he heard nothing about what had occurred, since he had been completing a mission all that time.

From their conversation, Adam seemed to have taken over the Epstein Family and all the other families, which he wouldn't complain about, but he couldn't help but be curious about the family.

However, the main reason for his curiosity wasn't because he cared about the family, but it was because of what had been said in Nathaniel and Adam's conversation.

Nathaniel had stated that Adam was friends with the young family head of the Epstein Family and Adam had said to him that he was unable to reach his full potential, which struck him.

"Please tell me, how can I reach my full potential?" pleaded the Silent Ghost.

"It is too late now and look at how pathetic you are. Your descendant has more talent than you could ever imagine and actually knows how to use the physique that he was gifted with. And even if you knew how to unlock your true capabilities, your talent and potential cannot be compared to his," stated Adam bluntly.

He didn't owe the Silent Ghost anything, and he had already spared his life, so he had no reason to aid him, while what he said was true.
