Chapter 11: Mountain house
In order to remain undetected, they took various detours and only arrived at night. Adrian was a bit worried that the family that lived there would be around. He wanted to avoid anyone who would recognize him as a member of the Thorne family.
Luckily for him, no one was home. He didn't have time to ponder the reason why, as he quickly ushered the kids inside the house.
Only after they were inside did he heave a sigh of relief. The kids' tense bodies also visibly relaxed. They had been on the move all day, and Adrian could tell that they were tired.
Jayson was still okay as he was in the Qi condensation realm, however, Olivia was still just a mortal. Despite that, she didn't utter one word of complaint.
This surprised Adrian a bit, and his view of her improved a bit.
However, their journey hadn't ended yet. They planned to use the cover of darkness to escape and flee the city. He took both of them to the basement of the building where a formation was set up.
Like the previous one, this formation could be used to leave the city undetected. Without wasting any time, he brought out a bunch of spirit stones and activated the formation.
Since there were multiple individuals using it at the same time, the energy required to power it was several times more than normal. The formation crystal he had would not be enough.
Luckily, qi stones could be used to provide the remaining energy. He didn't know how much was needed, therefore he just dumped a large amount of qi stones in the formation.
