After Chi Xue's people spread the word that Ling Tian had obtained the Phoenix Soul Fruit and that this was why the Outer Realm Cultivators kept pursuing him, quite a few cultivators in the God Realm chose to believe it. Before long, many experts from the God Realm were heading toward Ling Tian and the others, and their numbers kept growing with time. This made Fairy Swordji and the others a little worried.
Under normal circumstances, Fairy Swordji and her companions would have welcomed cultivators coming to pick a fight. That would let them enjoy a good, hard battle, and they were confident they could defeat every enemy who came after them. In fact, they really did have the strength to sweep across the God Realm—not to mention that those enemies were nowhere near the level of all the experts in the God Realm.
But these were not normal circumstances. A large number of Outer Realm Cultivators were pursuing them, and in a head-on battle those cultivators had the strength to kill them all. So they had to be especially careful and avoid giving the Outer Realm Cultivators a chance to pin them down and force a direct confrontation. Otherwise, even if they weren't wiped out, they would suffer heavy casualties.
Fairy Swordji and the others were confident they could rout the God Realm cultivators who came after them without too much trouble. But if they were held up for even a little while, the Outer Realm Cultivators might catch up. That was the last thing they wanted, and precisely why they were worried.
Ling Tian, however, wasn't concerned. He had a reason: they had already killed several Quasi-Sage experts with overwhelming force, which had deterred many people. The other cultivators from the God Realm wouldn't dare act rashly—at least
