Others might not know Zhang Xuan's identity, but Cao Chengli had seen Dan Xiaotian addressing him as 'teacher' with his own eyes.
To be able to make a trashy Saint 6-dan who could not even cultivate advance to Ancient Sage 1-dan consummation within a single day… Even though he had seen it happen with his own eyes, he still found it hard to believe.
If he were to follow such a person, there was no doubt that he would be able to soar through the ranks!
Furthermore, nearly all of his subordinates had been killed, and he was currently in the middle of the city himself. At this rate, it was likely that he would be lynched and killed by the furious mobs before he could even leave the city.
After all, he had done quite a number of evil deeds over the years since he dominated the mountain range. There were plenty of people who would be more than happy to skin him alive.
Just some additional information for those who are interested.
