After hesitating for a moment, the hunter recognized as Feng Yuan spoke up to explain,
"We encountered a group of strangely dressed travelers who wanted to go to the Chiyun Mountain Range. Just as we were about to ask them what they wanted to do, they acted against us."
"And then... did you flee back here, or...?"
Feng Yuan looked at the group with suspicion. Although they were injured, there were hardly any severe wounds—almost all were minor. If those were the work of a mastermind's men, Feng Yuan didn't believe they could have escaped their attacks alive.
"We counterattacked and killed them, and on their bodies, we found this."
As he gazed at the spherical object that the other party was holding, Feng Yuan's face changed. Hua Yiyou happened to walk by, his expression turning from concern for the injured to shock and anger as he saw the object in the person's hand, loudly exclaiming,
"Where did you get what you're holding in your hand?!"
