At this moment, Pingfan stared at Xie Yuan, trying to understand why he had changed his attitude and extended such a warm invitation.

However, to Pingfan's disappointment, Xie Yuan's expression showed no sign of feigning anything.

Suddenly, Pingfan realized that Xie Yuan had changed his attitude and invited him to come along, seemingly after his kind reminder.

Thinking of this, Pingfan couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that his well-intentioned reminder had made Xie Yuan realize the loophole.

However, Pingfan was not afraid. Although he did not know their cultivation level, he figured they were not stronger than Zhang Liang and the others.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to approach quietly instead of standing with Zhang Liang and the others.

Even with his current average strength, he is still capable of killing Zhang Liang and others, so naturally he is not afraid of the five people.

Although he did not fight Zhang Liang and the others, out of trust in the old man, he still considered himself to be at the level of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Thinking of this, Pingfan wanted to see what this person was up to, so he looked at Xie Yuan and said softly.

Fan Ping

Upon hearing Pingfan's response, Xie Yuan's face lit up with a smile, and he laughed.

"Brother Fan, where are you headed?"

At this point, Xie Yuan paused, then realized it wasn't appropriate and changed his words.

"Seeing how disheveled those powerful forces are, I'm afraid even if we go there, we'll only be throwing our lives away. We might as well return to Fengyan City and at least save our own lives."

After speaking, Xie Yuan stared at Pingfan to see his reaction.

After all, the people who come here are either from Fengyan City or Huoyun City.

Sure enough, when Pingfan heard him mention Fengyan City, he paused for a moment, then regained his composure.

Upon seeing this, Xie Yuan curled the corners of his lips and chuckled.

"If Brother Fan is also going to Fengyan City, why don't we travel together?"

When he heard the name Fengyan City, Pingfan paused for a moment, thinking that the Zhang family seemed to be located in Fengyan City.

So when he heard Xie Yuan's invitation, Pingfan answered without hesitation.

"Great, I'm also heading to Fengyan City."

Seeing that Pingfan agreed, Xie Yuan could not hide his joy, but still put on an enthusiastic expression and smiled.

"In that case, let's set off now."

With that, Xie Yuan gestured for the four people behind him to follow, then pulled Pingfan along and headed out of the Chaos Mountain Range.

The other four people stared at Xie Yuan and Ping Fan's retreating figures, their faces full of doubt.

The woman in red looked at the man in gray robes and asked, puzzled.

"Second brother, what is eldest brother doing? Why did he invite this person to come along?"

However, the gray-robed man waved his hand and said softly.

"There must be a reason why our elder brother does this; we just need to follow suit."

After saying that, the gray-robed man quickly followed, and the three who remained exchanged glances before also quickly following.

As night fell, Pingfan, Xie Yuan, and the others found a place to rest after leaving the Chaos Mountains.

After solving his hunger and thirst, Pingfan did not accept Xie Yuan's invitation. Instead, he walked a short distance away, leaned against a tree trunk, and rested.

Beside the campfire, after Pingfan left, the woman looked at Pingfan sleeping not far away and asked Xie Yuan in a low voice.

"Brother, why did you invite him?"

Hearing the woman's words, Xie Yuan glanced at Pingfan and realized that even if he was awake, he probably wouldn't be able to hear their conversation, so he whispered something.

"Of course, we should take the treasures from him!"

Upon hearing this, the four of them were taken aback, frowning as they looked at Pingfan not far away. Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

"But this person doesn't seem to possess any treasures, and besides, he's a body cultivator."

Xiao Wu's words were met with agreement from the other three, who all looked at Xie Yuan with puzzlement.

As for why Xiao Wu reminded Pingfan that he was a body cultivator, it's because, generally speaking, body cultivators without cultivation level cannot use magic weapons and talismans, and they can't even use storage bags.

Therefore, body cultivators generally do not possess any treasures. Moreover, Pingfan's clothes were tattered, making him look nothing like someone with treasures.

However, after hearing Xiao Wu's words, Xie Yuan shook his head slightly and said...

"Perhaps he didn't have any treasures on him originally, but now he definitely does."

Seeing Xie Yuan's certainty, the four became even more puzzled, not understanding what he meant.

Seeing the four people's puzzled expressions, Xie Yuan smiled mysteriously and slowly said.

"You should all have heard what he reminded us of as he left?"

Hearing Xie Yuan say this, the four of them fell into reminiscence, and even after recalling Pingfan's words, they were still very puzzled.

Seeing the expressions on the four people's faces, Xie Yuan said with a look of disappointment.

"How stupid! He said there was no treasure there, which means he came from that place."

Upon hearing Xie Yuan's explanation, the gray-robed man looked at Xie Yuan in astonishment and exclaimed in surprise.

"You mean the treasure that caused the celestial phenomenon might be on this person?"

The other three also looked shocked upon hearing the gray-robed man's words and turned to look at Xie Yuan.

Seeing that the four finally realized what was happening, Xie Yuan chuckled and said.

"That's right"

After hearing Xie Yuan's words, Xiao Wu frowned and asked in confusion.

"But judging from the disheveled figures of those powerful figures, it doesn't seem like they've lost their treasures; it's more like they've encountered a stronger opponent."

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's question, the three people, apart from Xie Yuan, felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

Seeing that the three of them had been led astray by Xiao Wu again, Xie Yuan really wanted to pry open his head to see what was inside and why he was so stubborn.

However, Xie Yuan slowly suppressed his urge to pry open Xiao Wu's head and said...

"It's certain that a powerful figure appeared there, but whether that figure obtained the treasure, we don't know."

"But if this person didn't obtain the treasure, why would he remind us that there was no treasure there?"

After listening to Xie Yuan's analysis, the three who had been misled by Xiao Wu also felt that it made sense.

Even Xiao Wu, who had raised the question, became somewhat less firm in his opinion after hearing his words.

The man in blue, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

"Since Brother suspects the treasure might be on this person, what should we do next?"

Upon hearing the man in blue's words, Xie Yuan frowned slightly and said in a low voice.

"This person is a body cultivator, but we haven't seen him make a move yet, so we don't know what level he has reached."

At this point, Xie Yuan lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Xie Yuan had not yet explained what to do, he fell into deep thought and waited for him to think it over.

A moment later, Xie Yuan raised his head, a cold smile appearing on his face, and said coldly.

"It's still quite a distance to Fengyan City, and there are many monsters along the way."

"When the time comes, we'll pretend to be unable to withstand the attack, forcing this person to make a move. This will not only allow us to see his true strength, but also give us the opportunity to ambush him from behind."

After hearing Xie Yuan's words, the four of them wore sinister smirks, then looked at the sleeping Pingfan and laughed.

"Brother is right. Judging from this person's age, even if his talent is extraordinary, he can only cultivate body cultivation to the Body Tempering Realm."
