That was right. Compared with Chi Xue and the others, Ling Tian's side had far too great an advantage in their understanding of runes, so he wasn't worried that Chi Xue and the others would summon cultivators skilled in formation patterns and restrictions to watch the Rune Cultivators use their runes.
