Chi Xue wasn't about to put his life in Ling Tian's hands. He had a countermeasure ready, but he wanted to see how Ling Tian would break through and then act when the opportunity arose, so he hadn't put it into motion yet.
"North Profound is in a very precarious situation now. I refuse to believe Ling Tian isn't getting anxious," Chi Xue said gravely.
"Chi Xue, it seems Ling Tian and the others really aren't worried. He's still leisurely snatching the Dao Dissipation Power from the Dao Bodies of the Po Family Brothers," the Jade Devouring Sky Python said. Then it muttered to itself, "It's as if they already have a foolproof plan to escape."
"Even with my Phantom Clone, I wouldn't dare say I could definitely break through. What makes him so confident? His teleportation ability has severe limitations," Chi Xue said, his expression growing more puzzled.
"Ling Tian is a sly fox. No one knows what he'll do next," the Jade Devouring Sky Python said. Then its tone shifted, turning slightly grave. "Chi Xue, there's something we have to admit. With our plan alone, it'll be difficult to escape unscathed. And even if we do, we'll suffer heavy losses. These people are all elites, and they're practically the last of our forces. If we lose them too..."
It was true. Over the years, Chi Xue's people had stirred up trouble in North Profound, but many had also been exposed and killed by Old Man Ling and the others. Their forces had dwindled to almost nothing.
Knowing this, Chi Xue's expression grew much more solemn. After a long moment, he steeled himself. "If we can't even save our own lives, then there's no point in them staying alive. We might as well have them buy us a chance."
