After waking up early as usual, Adrian did some light cultivation to prepare himself for the day as it was going to be a long one.
He knew that they had to leave the city today.
The residents were starting to suspect something was up as they hadn't seen the people from the Thorne family since the previous day.
Even though they could see evidence of activity within the residence, no one had come out.
The black robes men were becoming increasingly disruptive and were causing problems within the city.
However, after thinking that no one could take action without the approval of the Thorne family, the residents decided to hold it in until they could complain to the Thorne family.
In the house of Thorne, the people from the demonic faction were becoming increasingly restless.
The item they came to retrieve could not be found and they also could not break into the treasure vault.
The only good things they had found were in the rings of the patriarch of the Thorne family and other high ranking members.
However, this was not enough to make up for their losses.
The amount of members that they lost were numerous and they paid a huge price to destroy the Thorne family.
They could not keep up the illusion array for long as people were already suspicious.
When the kids woke up, Adrian prepared breakfast for the three of them.
After breakfast, Adrian told them that they were leaving the city. Upon further explanation, the kids knew that there was no hope for them in the city currently.
They were a bit upset but understood his perspective.
They packed up and changed into black robes to hide their identity.
The house was near the city gates by design so it was fairly easy for them to reach the borders undetected.
Even so, it took them all day to reach it.
In fact, Adrian would have reached it even sooner but he had to slow down because of the children with him.
Jayson was only at the sixth level of the qi condensation realm and Olivia hadn't even started cultivating yet.
When they arrived at the border, the sun was already setting. They planned to use the cover of darkness to escape and flee the city.
They rested for a few hours until it was getting darker. Adrian spotted a caravan that was leaving the city.
After sneaking into one of the wagons that contained the goods, they were able to successfully escape just as the torches were being lit on the city walls.
They followed the caravan quietly through the night and were able to make good progress on their journey.
Since they took off in the evening, the caravan travelled through the night and were already half way to the nearest town by the time the sun rose.
When the first rays of light were appearing the the sky, the caravan stopped to take a short break.
Adrian stayed up all night to make sure they weren't discovered and to allow the children have some rest.
The caravan only stopped for about an hour before they continued on their journey.
When the children woke up, they quietly ate the dried meat that Adrian gave them.
The journey continued and they finally reached the next town by evening.
This town was known as Roselock town and was one of the towns under the control of the Thorne family.
A midsized family known as the Carter's were in charge of maintaining law and order in the town.
The caravan entered the town without problems and decided to stay here for the night.
This was not the end of their journey and they didn't want to continue traveling through the night so, they stopped here for the night.
As the driver and the guards were discussing where to settle down for the night, Adrian and the kids quietly slipped out from the back of the caravan.
They put up their hoods and walked briskly until they were a good distance away from the caravan.
They then headed into the nearest inn where they reserved a single large room.
Even without the family, Adrian was considered wealthy compared to normal people.
His allowance was something that ordinary people could only make after saving up for a few decades.
Even renting out the whole inn wouldn't be a problem but since they had to be careful, he only rented out a single room.
Only when the three of them entered the room did they have sighs of relief.
The kids were worn out from travelling all day. Even Adrian was tired as he hadn't slept the previous night.
They took quick baths and retired for the night.
Over the next few days, they stayed at the inn and tried to figure out their next move.
Meanwhile, a shocking piece of news was circulating through out the whole continent.
The demonic factions had left after finding nothing for a few days.
When they left, the destruction of the Thorne family was finally exposed. The residents in the city were in a state of panic as they had no idea when it happened.
All the heads of the various great families received the news with mixed reactions.
Most of them were appalled while others were apprehensive and started conducting investigations, making sure people of the demonic faction were not in their territories.
Even the Everhart Royal family had to dispatch troops to quell the sudden unrest that was occurring due to the panic.
However, in a small dimly lit room, a figure was sitting while holding a letter in their hands.
After reading the contents of the letter, the figure let out a shrill laughter as they turned the letter into ashes with a flick of the wrist.
