It must be said that coming to partake in the flower banquet and chancing upon the bizarre events of the box's recognition of its master and the battle for treasure was something Li Fan hadn't prepared for; he had acted on a whim. But, fortunately, his gamble had paid off once again.
During the entwined battle and killings on the river, Li Fan had already begun using the blind-man's method to look for an escape route. However, he also noticed that cultivators from all around were drawn by the treasure's glow, gathering in increasing numbers. One must realize that he was right in the heart of Xun Country's capital, deep inside the tiger's den. Even if he defeated the four Nascent Souls and broke through the siege, he would be pursued by the country's cultivators, all vying for the treasure.
