After accepting Lihua and Er Niu, Li An brought them back to Qingfeng Stronghold.
He taught them the basic techniques that Zhao Yi had been training in and arranged for two amiable bandits to personally instruct them.
Then, Li An declared to the outside world that he was going into closed-door cultivation, but in reality, he discreetly headed towards the Ten Thousand Miles Abyss with the two pieces of Tribulation Jade he had obtained from the Rakshasa Stronghold and Vajra Stronghold.
He never fights a battle without preparation.
Once the people from Yan Country arrive, they will definitely use Li An to guide them to the Ten Thousand Miles Abyss.
And then?
Two possibilities.
If Li An is useful to them, they will keep him.
If he's not, they'll kill him!
Of course, Li An assessed that Yan Country had invested so much in Zhao Yi, putting in a lot of effort, so they likely wouldn't kill Zhao Yi outright but continue to treat him as a pawn.
However, one must be cautious.
