If this had happened earlier, the Po Family Brothers would have had a good chance of winning if they teamed up against Ling Tian and the others. But now Ling Yu and the others had cultivated the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique, and their strength firmly surpassed the brothers'. Even with their unusual combination secret art, they were no match for overwhelming strength—especially after seeing how terrifying Ling Tian was.
While the Po Family Brothers discussed this, the Jade Devouring Sky Python and Chi Xue were talking about something else: Soul Quenching Liquid.
After judging that Ling Tian's control over his mind was incomparably powerful, Chi Xue became even more certain of his earlier guess.
"That's right. To achieve such terrifying control over one's mind, one needs an exceptionally powerful Nascent Soul. Ling Tian couldn't have gained such abnormal mental control merely by cultivating powerful archery techniques. Lingxiao Pavilion must have already refined Four-turn Soul Quenching Liquid, and Ling Tian must have taken it." Chi Xue sounded certain. "Ling Tian really is as extraordinary as we imagined. He actually managed to refine Soul Quenching Liquid."
"That probably wasn't their own doing. It was largely thanks to Divine Sword Cliff and Fengyun Pavilion. If we had joined Fengyun Pavilion, we would have refined Soul Quenching Liquid long ago." The Jade Devouring Sky Python spoke resentfully, but a trace of bitterness colored its voice.
Chi Xue didn't dwell on the matter. He knew that in this world, what mattered wasn't how things might have been, but the result. The fact that they hadn't joined Fengyun Pavilion was the reality—and though it was hard to accept, it remained so.
"Fortunately, we've already sent people to keep an eye on Divine Sword Cliff. I hope we can find out how to refine Soul Quenching Liquid
