With the Eastern Queen and her co-conspirator dead, Kent has no reason to stay in the forest any longer. He had made it so that regardless of what excuse Randel raises, it will amount to nothing.
He had helped her upgrade her Spirit Root to God-grade and even left her with treasures to aid her in body tempering and soul cultivation.
Aside from that, he had taken care of her biggest rivals, so he had no reason to even consider staying another minute inside the forest when he could be on his way toward human civilization.
"I have already done my part. Now is your time to uphold your end of the deal."
"Of course. I will take you to the edge of the forest as I promised. Since you have no plans on staying for long, we can leave now."
Thus, they left and headed deeper into the forest. It took them a couple of hours, but they finally arrived at the edge of the forest, where Kent could finally be on his way.
