Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1489

Severin smiled and held Sofia's hand as they flew toward the crowd. After arriving in front of everyone, Severin released Sofia's hand and said to Bowen, "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Bowen smiled insinuatingly. "It's fine. We got the chance to soak in this place a little more. We've been here for so long that I can't help myself from feeling a little attached to it."

Severin nodded and said, "There are quite a lot of people here, so for everyone's safety, Sofia and I will lead the way. Hall Master Bowen and the two elders will each bring several stronger individuals to guard the rear and the sides. Our destination is the forest edge, but there's still a chance we'd encounter some strong spirit beasts. We would need to ensure everyone's safety during this journey."

Bowen's eyes lit up after he heard that. With a nod, he said, "You're right. We should get everyone to line up and keep close to each other. Your plan will allow us to leave here safely."

Once the formation had been arranged, everyone began to make their way forward. When nightfall came, they rested under the cover of darkness and continued their journey the next day. It was noon when they finally stepped out of the forest.

"We've finally left the forest! It's been about half a month since we were here, including the time we spent on the journey here. We'd probably take another three or so days to return, so the total time we were away is probably about twenty days." Sofia said, taking a deep breath. She knew very well that twenty days was far too long a time for Severin. After all, there were still some other halls that had not been located yet.

Severin smiled and said, "There are five more months to go, so it should be just about enough time. Let's make our way back as soon as we can. We've gotten a lot of valuable items when we were here. Before I proceed with anything, I'll refine that fifth-rank spiritual fruit and make a breakthrough in attainment."

Severin knew that he was practically invincible in normal society if he had such an attainment. Unfortunately, the world at large included many secluded sects, and the first-tier sects contained many strong individuals who would almost certainly best him in a match. If the chance to get stronger was presented to him, he would seize it without hesitation.
