Chi Xue had deduced from the Small World of an Elder Heaven-Devouring Wolf in the Beast Soul Realm that the Phoenix Soul Fruit would acknowledge and then follow Little Devour.

That would give them a chance to grievously wound Ling Tian and the others—or even wipe them all out.
"Heh, that's right. Being the first to obtain the Phoenix Soul Fruit in the Beast Soul Realm isn't a good thing. As the saying goes, a man is innocent, but his jade brings trouble." The Jade Devouring Sky Python was thrilled. At last, it had a chance to kill Ling Tian and Little Devour.
Then a thought struck it, and the Jade Devouring Sky Python grew worried. "Could that Heaven-Devouring Wolf have already obtained the Phoenix Soul Fruit?"
