After hearing Poqiong's explanation, Ling Tian and the others realized that temporarily placing the Yin Yang Bagua Plate in Little Devourer's care was the wisest choice. Poqiong then reminded Little Devourer that he could only claim the plate after devouring and fusing with the Small World's core. That way, they wouldn't reveal its location too soon.
"Why do we have to do that?" Mo Lei asked, confused. "Didn't Uncle Little Devourer say he could control the Small World while devouring and fusing with its core? Then we wouldn't have to worry about people from the Heaven, Earth, and Yellow Alliances attacking."
"That part isn't a problem. But what about after Little Devourer has finished devouring and fusing with the Small World's core?" Poqiong asked in reply. Seeing Mo Lei's thoughtful expression, he continued, "If Lei Zhan and the others surround this place and lay down a web of traps, even with the tremendous leap in strength Little Devourer will gain after devouring the Small World, he might still be in danger."
"Oh, that's true." Mo Lei nodded, then seemed to think of something. Her eyes lit up. "Then we can have Great-Grandpa Ling and the others come over and set up traps around here, just waiting for people from the Heaven, Earth, and Yellow Alliances to arrive."
"That wouldn't work." Ling Tian shook his head. Seeing Mo Lei's puzzled look, he explained, "Ordinary formations and traps won't do much against Lei Zhan and the others, while setting up a large formation would take quite a while. If Little Devourer claims the Yin Yang Bagua Plate now, Lei Zhan and the others will find out right away. They can get here in no time, and we won't have enough time to set anything up."
"That's right." Su Ying nodded and added,
