Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 2865

After a while, a deathly pin-drop silence enveloped the main hall. Severin could even discern each person's different rhythm of breathing.

News of Xavier invading Eastplain and killing three half-immortals in quick succession, came as a bombshell to everyone present. Severin, in particular, frowned severely as he could tell from Kugen's account that Xavier had grown stronger. It had reached a point where Xavier dispatched half-immortals with ease.

"The situation has taken a rather complicated turn," Severin mumbled. According to Kugen, it was likely that Xavier succumbed to the allure of the deviant path. After all, if 'Baldwin', the leader of the Primordial Sacred Land, could become the Ancestora's clone, then it was entirely possible that Xavier was ensnared by its influence.

He had barely gotten the chance to enjoy a brief respite after an arduous half-month, yet it was starting to become apparent that he needed to salvage the situation in Eastplain. He could not bring himself to just sit there without taking any action.

If all eight families in Eastplain were obliterated, then the Ancestora's true form might be able to break free from the seal. Even if the true form did not succeed, Xavier's rampage—fueled by the desire to devour the blood and essence of half-immortals—could potentially allow him to attain immortality.

As he contemplated that, he said softly to Kugen, "Fret not. Our sacred land will not stand idle while devils like Xavier run amok."

With a knowing glance, he signaled his intent to discuss the matter privately with the sect leader and several elders. Kugen tactfully bade them farewell after sensing that a private discussion was about to be held.

Before Kugen left, a sudden thought occurred to him. He stopped for a moment and said to Severin, "You have inherited the Green Emperor's teachings, and we—the families in Eastplain—are direct descendants of those who have served him in the past. If you can aid us in weathering this crisis, I will reveal the true purpose of the Ancestora to you."

He had only found out about the celestial domain's existence not too long ago from the Green Emperor's remnant soul within the pagoda. Setting aside his curiosity and impulse, Severin dismissed those thoughts and erected a divine barrier in the hall after Kugen's left.

Amethyst asked with a stern-face, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"

"If I may…" Carson was the first to stand up and speak out. His frown made it clear that he harbored much unhappiness at the events unfolding in Eastplain.
