At this moment, Pingfan, who was hiding in the cave, clenched his fists and stared coldly at the person who appeared.

The reason Pingfan acted and looked like that was because he had seen the person outside before.

This was the person who was chasing Li Muchan when she was rescued.

Moreover, Pingfan also spotted this person among the people who surrounded and killed Li Tiansheng and his wife.

It was at this moment that Pingfan began to understand why his peaceful life had been suddenly disrupted.

It must be that this person had his opportunity snatched away by Li Muchan. After failing to find Li Muchan, he went back and sent people to find out where they lived, which is why he sent his elders to come.

As Pingfan thought this to herself, her gaze toward Zhang Shan grew even colder.

This also made Pingfan realize that in the world of cultivation, might makes right.

Outside the cave, Zhang Shan carefully examined the monster's corpse when he suddenly sensed a murderous intent staring at him.

Immediately, Zhang Shan raised his head and looked around.

Upon seeing Zhang Shan's actions, the five people beside him also became cautious. After realizing that there was nothing unusual, one of them asked a question.

"Young Master, have you discovered anything?"

Zhang Shan, having withdrawn his gaze, slowly shook his head. He had clearly sensed killing intent just now, but when he looked, there was no one in sight.

Zhang Shan did not answer the man's question. Instead, he looked back at the monster's corpse, frowned, and said in surprise.

"Huh, judging from the injuries on his body, they weren't caused by sharp weapons, but rather by physical wounds."

Upon hearing this, the person who had spoken earlier whispered.

"Young Master, are there other demonic beasts here?"

Upon hearing this man's words, Zhang Shan glanced at him and coldly cursed.

"Fool, if it were a monster, there would be scratches and bite marks. This monster was killed by being punched repeatedly."

Even after being scolded by Zhang Shan, the man dared not complain and instead spoke cautiously.

"Could it be an injury inflicted by a body cultivator?"

This time, Zhang Shan didn't speak, but fell into deep thought.

"Judging from this, it must have been done by a body cultivator, but who would be so bored as to fight a demonic beast in this way?"

In Zhang Shan's opinion, body refiners are generally cultivators who, feeling hopeless about breaking through their cultivation realm, temper their bodies in order to enhance their strength.

As for those humans who can only become body cultivators, most of them will not leave the city, but will instead seek a job as a guard in some large clans.

After all, these people had their meridians destroyed and were unable to cultivate, which is why they chose this path.

However, after losing his cultivation, he could no longer abstain from grains and needed to eat, and his lifespan also returned to that of an ordinary person.

Therefore, choosing a job as a home guard is both safe and allows one to live out one's old age in peace.

Suddenly, Zhang Shan was shocked to discover that this monster had broken through to the second tier before it died, no longer being the lowest tier monster.

After discovering this, Zhang Shan guessed a possibility and slowly said.

"Could this person be trying to use this monster to hone their skills?"

The five people standing nearby were all bewildered by Zhang Shan's inexplicable words, not understanding what their young master meant.

After Zhang Shan finished speaking, he immediately burst into laughter, and then said with great interest.

"Interesting, truly interesting, using demonic beasts to hone their skills."

At this moment, the five people standing to the side were completely confused by Zhang Shan's words. Then, the person who had spoken earlier forced himself to speak.

"Little Lord?"

Hearing the man's shout, Zhang Shan looked at him and saw that he looked confused. He said calmly.

"This demonic beast was originally a first-tier demonic beast, but half of its body had entered the second-tier demonic beast realm. It must have broken through before it died, but failed to complete the assimilation before being killed by that person."

Seeing that the five of them looked like they had just realized something, Zhang Shan continued.

"Moreover, judging from the wounds on his body, that person was clearly testing the monster's endurance."

After listening to Zhang Shan's words, the five of them finally understood what Zhang Shan had said earlier.

However, Zhang Shan's next words made the five of them instantly become cautious.

"Two years ago, this monster snatched something from right in front of me. If it weren't for Li Muchan, I would have come to settle the score with this monster long ago."

Zhang Shan wasn't lying; when he was vying with Li Muchan for the opportunity, there was actually something else involved.

However, compared to the opportunity to seize it, it was insignificant, and unexpectedly, it was snatched away by a low-level demon beast.

However, Zhang Shan didn't pay any attention and continued to chase after Li Muchan.

However, during this period, some people saw Li Muchan leave the Northern Region and head to the Southern Region through a teleportation array.

This caused Zhang Liang, who was already angry, to vent all his anger on him, leaving him constantly being scolded.

In fact, Zhang Shan understood why his grandfather acted this way. The failed mission not only resulted in the loss of the clan's already limited number of Nascent Soul cultivators, but also led to resentment from the other three clans.

This made Zhang Liang feel somewhat ashamed, since he had promised before the battle that this alliance would be foolproof.

In the end, he could only vent his anger on Zhang Shan, since it was he who had lost sight of Li Muchan, his last hope.

So, in order to vent his anger, Zhang Shan thought of the demon beast that had snatched something from his face when he was competing with Li Muchan for the opportunity.

This was also Zhang Shan's way of avoiding being scolded. When he arrived here, he saw that someone had killed the monster before him.

Thinking that the person who killed this monster might still be here, Zhang Shan wanted to see what kind of person would use a monster to train their skills.

As for the most likely hiding place here, it is obviously the cave next to it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shan looked at the five people beside him and gave them a wink, signaling them to go into the cave and see if there were any suspicious people.

At Zhang Shan's signal, the five people cautiously looked towards the cave and slowly approached.

At this moment, Pingfan, who was still hesitating about whether to kill Zhang Shan, saw the five people following Zhang Shan walking towards the cave.

Upon seeing this, Pingfan frowned, thinking to himself.

"Did this person sense that I was in the cave? Should I make a move?"

"According to what he just said, this demonic beast broke through to the second tier the moment I killed it."

"That is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage of a cultivator; these people should all be in the Foundation Establishment stage."

Pingfan thought this way because he knew that the person chasing Li Muchan must be in the Foundation Establishment stage, otherwise he wouldn't dare to chase her.

Since he, as the master, is already at the Foundation Establishment stage, the person protecting him must be of a higher cultivation level than him, at least at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Through his battles with the wolf-like demonic beast, he gained a general understanding of his own strength, which he estimated to be somewhere between body tempering and body forging.

In other words, the current ordinary level is equivalent to the tenth level of the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage for a cultivator.

However, if we fight these people, we'd probably be killed in the first encounter.

Just as Pingfan was watching the five people who were about to reach the cave entrance with tense eyes, a roar rang out.

"roar~"

Instantly, the five of them turned around and saw a beast of similar size to the dead wolf-like monster running towards them.
