This time, Xiao Shi had sent so many people out that it seemed strange. So Chi Xue concluded that Ling Tian and Fairy Meng Shang had slipped out of the You Hun Realm with the crowd. More importantly, the Enlightenment Sacred Tree had gone with them.
Although the Jade Devouring Sky Python trusted Chi Xue's judgment, it was still curious why he was so certain—and even more curious about how he planned to confirm it.
"It's simple. If that Heaven-Devouring Wolf stops sending cultivators away, or sends only one or two more batches before stopping, that'll prove Ling Tian and the others have left the You Hun Realm," Chi Xue said. Seeing the Jade Devouring Sky Python lost in thought, he nodded. "Exactly. Ling Tian and the others have already slipped out with the crowd. There's no need to keep sending cultivators away. They might send one or two more batches just to throw people off."
"Mm, that's right." The Jade Devouring Sky Python nodded. "Sending cultivators out takes some Mental Power. Unless they're trying to mislead people, there's no need to keep doing it."
"Based on past experience, the Heaven-Devouring Wolf sends cultivators out about once every ten years. We won't have to wait long to confirm whether Ling Tian and the others have left," Chi Xue said, glancing up at the sky. "Of course, it might not take that long. If the next group the Heaven-Devouring Wolf sends out is much smaller, that would also prove they've left the You Hun Realm. Since they're already gone, there's no need to send many people just to fool everyone else."
"Mm, that's true." The Jade Devouring Sky Python nodded again. Then, as a thought occurred to it, its tone shifted. "Chi Xue, what if Ling Tian thought of that too?
