Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1849

Inside the mayor's mansion, a fair-skinned young man sat in silence as he sipped some spiritual tea. The young man was Thorold, and he was surrounded by seven or eight of his family's elders. Thorold exuded a thunderous aura despite his youthful appearance, and the elders around those elders were that of a level seven or level eight royal saint.

Having joined the first-tier Deifirm Sect in Southsky a few years ago, Thorold started as an outer disciple. He later put in a tremendous amount of effort and became a level nine royal saint, after which he was allowed to become an inner disciple of the sect. His combat prowess was formidable, making him a force to be reckoned with even by level one supreme saint.

His return to Nontwo City was aimed at helping the Gahrrs secure some benefits, and in turn, he could bring some of the Gahrrs' elders to the sect and have them serve as his attendants. Thorold came back and learned about the existence of a formidable individual named Severin who had just arrived in the city. Desiring a situation whereby he did not need to worry about Severin, he decided to offer up two available places for the sacred lake.

In Thorold's eyes, Jangar was his primary adversary in the upcoming tournament. From the information he had been given, Jangar was on the cusp of breaking through to supreme saint and possessed such exceptional swordsmanship that he had many remarkable feats to his name. He had excellent comprehension of the swordwill, and one example of his feat was slaying a dragon in the east sea.

Jangar returned with the same intentions as Thorold, which was to select talented family members to join their sects as elite disciples. This practice was commonplace across Southsky, where sect disciples could choose family members to follow them in their training once they had become a supreme saint.

Such actions were not unwelcome for two reasons: the first is that resources would be channeled to those who truly deserve them within the sect, and the second is that such elite disciples would become the backbone of the sect's strength after being absorbed. As a result, many of the spots that were available for the sacred lake would have been monopolized by families whose members were part of a sect!

Thorold placed his teacup down and inquired about Jangar from the person beside him. "Heard any news about Jangar recently?"
