Why did Ma Yongcheng and Lu Qingtang decide to let Elder Peng and the wolf beastman go? Because they knew once they were in the real wilderness, their chance of survival was low.
Elder Peng was old; he lived a peaceful life in the village head's residence. Although his strength had weakened a lot and was no longer as powerful as he was in his prime, his power was still decent. Yet, he never joined any hunting team again.
He basically lived off the village's head.
But, he was also an elder, the younger brother of the village head's father. As such, the village head couldn't bring himself to chase him away even if he was dissatisfied.
On the other hand, the wolf beastman was injured. Beastmen's injury didn't take long to heal, however, his injuries weren't light, so it will still take some time to heal.
Considering their recent fall out, it was also still unknown whether they would stick together.
