Ling Tian had thought that with Chi Xue and the others' strength, they could easily break through the Rune Cultivators' rune formation. But he had not considered that the Rune Cultivators were also powerful fighters, especially since there were so many of them—tens of thousands. If they fought Chi Xue and the others, then even if Chi Xue's side ultimately won, they would suffer heavy casualties.
It was precisely because they had considered this that Chi Xue and the others had held back. After all, they could not afford those losses.
Since they could not attack the Rune Cultivators, they could only pin their hopes on the cultivators from the other God Realm factions and the many Rogue Cultivators. Of course, they would much rather Ling Tian made the first move. Then they could take advantage of the battle between Ling Tian and the Rune Cultivators and reap the spoils.
Naturally, everyone knew Ling Tian was extremely cautious. He would never give them that opportunity.
"That's right. Ling Tian definitely won't attack first, especially with us nearby," Fei Ling said with certainty. "As for the other God Realm factions and the many Rogue Cultivators, they may not worry about us attacking them from behind, but they're all fighting on their own. They also know that whoever strikes first will bear the brunt and suffer heavy casualties. In these circumstances, they probably won't make the first move either. Maybe they're just waiting for us to act."
Knowing that was possible, the group furrowed their brows. They understood that if things continued like this, they would reach a stalemate. And as time went on, it would become even harder to break the rune formation, because the Rune Cultivators were still laying it out, making it more and more powerful.
