The Rune Cultivators treated Ling Tian and his companions differently from the other factions in the God Realm and the many Rogue Cultivators. This left countless cultivators in the God Realm stunned, but it also made them believe Ling Tian's explanation: they had never attacked the Rune Cultivators, and had even helped them.
This was good news for Ling Tian and the others. They could safely build a base, then easily stop Chi Xue and his people from attacking the Rune Cultivators. That way, they would no longer have to worry about them breaking through the runic formation here and obtaining the rune arts.
Of course, after seeing the Rune Cultivators' friendly side, Ling Tian felt even more confident about befriending them.
If Chi Xue's faction, the other factions in the God Realm, and the many Rogue Cultivators could also build bases around the runic formation, Ling Tian and the others would have to stop them from doing so. Otherwise, those factions might use their bases to break through the formation later. That would make their position plain, and the other factions and Rogue Cultivators would likely join forces with Chi Xue's people to stop Ling Tian and the others from building their base.
That was right. If the two sides joined forces, they could easily prevent Ling Tian and the others from building their base. Their plan to build a base and stop both factions from attacking the runic formation would fall through, leaving them with only their backup tactics. But those tactics carried a certain amount of danger. One careless move could cost someone their life, and they might even fail. If that happened, Chi Xue's people would obtain the rune arts.
That was why Ling Tian and the others said the current outcome was the best. At
