Spring has passed and autumn has come; Pingfan has already spent her second autumn here.

By the stream, Pingfan sat on a rock and drifted into a daze.

Since that day, when Pingfan decided to become a body cultivator, he has rarely been lost in thought here.

Now he's just sitting here in a daze, but after more than a year, he's only just reached the first level of Body Tempering.

Knowing that Pingfan wanted to become a body refiner, Li Muchan's family not only left him food every day but also hunted some low-level demonic beasts to help him temper his body.

However, after more than a year of constant physical tempering and enduring physical pain, Pingfan only recently reached the first level of body tempering.

During this time, Li Tiansheng examined Pingfan's body again and discovered that there was chronic poison on every inch of his skin.

Upon learning this, Pingfan shook his head helplessly. He hadn't expected that even toiletries contained all sorts of additives.

So the reason Pingfan is in a daze now is because he is wondering whether he should continue.

After learning about Pingfan's situation, Li Muchan and the others felt even more resentful towards those who had persecuted him.

They simply couldn't imagine that such a vicious person existed in this world.

Even those evil cultivators who keep people in captivity for the sake of their cultivation will never mistreat those they keep.

While Pingfan was still thinking about the future, a group of more than thirty people stopped a hundred miles away.

The four people at the head looked in the direction of Pingfan, and then one of them spoke to the other three.

"Brother Qin, Brother Xu, Brother Yu, those two should be at the foot of that mountain."

Upon hearing this, the elderly man in the gray robe among the three spoke softly.

"Brother Zhang, are you sure those two have that thing in their hands?"

Upon hearing the gray-robed elder's words, the other two also looked at Zhang Liang, awaiting his reply.

However, Zhang Liang was very displeased after hearing the gray-robed old man's words and said coldly.

"Brother Yu, is this a sign of distrust? If those two hadn't been so powerful, I would have swallowed that thing myself."

Upon hearing this, all three looked embarrassed, and then Nie quickly smiled apologetically.

"Brother Zhang, you jest. It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to confirm whether that thing truly exists."

The other two quickly echoed this sentiment, expressing their absolute trust in Zhang Liang's character.

Seeing that the three no longer questioned him, Zhang Liang's expression softened. He then looked at the three and said softly.

"We'll surround that area and prevent them from escaping."

Hearing Zhang Liang's words, the three nodded in agreement.

After all, they had heard that the couple's cultivation had reached the half-step Nascent Soul stage and that they had comprehended a great deal of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Although the four of them were considered to be at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, they had only just begun to comprehend a kind of law power of the Heavenly Dao.

In a real fight, he wouldn't be a match for those two.

However, this time, the four of them brought something that guaranteed their victory.

Once those two are entangled, the couple will be like fish on a chopping board, completely at their mercy.

Thinking of this, the four of them couldn't help but chuckle, leaving those who had come with them behind them somewhat puzzled.

After a few light laughs, Zhang Liang and the other three began to discuss their upcoming actions, making sure everything went perfectly.

However, among this group of people, one person looked at Pingfan with a sinister gaze.

If Pingfan saw this person here, he would be quite surprised, because this person was the same man who chased after Li Muchan back then.

This person's identity is also not simple; he is Zhang Shan, the grandson of the head of the Zhang family, the largest family in Fengyan City.

After Zhang Shan returned that time, he sent people out to investigate Li Muchan. Unexpectedly, the investigation uncovered a shocking secret.

It turns out that the girl's name was Li Muchan, and her parents were the ones who were wanted by all the aristocratic families in the Northern Region twenty years ago.

It is said that this couple obtained a treasure in a secret realm that allowed cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage to comprehend the power of the Heavenly Dao without having to search for places rich in its power.

However, it only allows one to perceive the power of the Heavenly Dao, and cannot accelerate the user's perception of the Heavenly Dao's power.

But even this alone could drive a group of Nascent Soul stage cultivators crazy.

Imagine if you had this item, you could save time searching for the source of the Heavenly Dao's power. Wouldn't that be equivalent to speeding up the time it takes to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?

Moreover, if they possess this item, anyone in their clan who reaches the late-stage Nascent Soul realm can use it.

The longer the clan possesses the power, the more cultivators within it will successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

At that time, their family will have a good chance of becoming the next super power in this region.

Thinking of this, a smile gradually appeared on Zhang Shan's sinister expression. Then, looking at the mountain, he laughed.

"Li Muchan, you escaped last time, let's see where you can run this time."

After saying that, Zhang Shan recalled how he was amazed by Li Muchan's appearance when he first saw her. If it weren't for her considerable strength, Zhang Shan would have really wanted to take her right there and then.

However, it's not too late now. Presumably, after two years, Li Muchan should be more mature.

While Zhang Shan was still indulging in fantasies about Li Muchan's body, the four people in front had already discussed their next move and instructed everyone to slowly advance towards the mountain.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Shan stopped overthinking and followed the crowd toward the mountains.

Actually, he didn't need to come this time. After all, for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to come to a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators is practically suicide.

However, it was learned that the couple had actually conceived a daughter during the twenty years they had disappeared.

Therefore, this time, Zhang Shan was instructed to bring ten Foundation Establishment cultivators to subdue the couple's daughter.

They could also use their daughter to blackmail the couple, and then see if they wouldn't surrender.

Meanwhile, by the stream, after thinking for a long time, he finally decided to live an ordinary life, and stood up to walk towards the courtyard next door.

However, before Pingfan could even reach the courtyard gate, Wang Yuyan's voice rang in his mind.

"Fan'er, don't come in, leave here first."

Upon hearing these words, Pingfan froze in mid-air, unable to understand why Wang Yuyan would say such a thing.

Before Pingfan could figure out what was happening, dozens of whooshing sounds rang out, and then about thirty people appeared there.

They then formed a siege, surrounding the only courtyard in the area. Then, an elderly man in black robes, looking at the courtyard, shouted.

"Li Tiansheng, get out here and face your death!"
