As Chi Xue had said, the tide had turned against them. There was nothing they could change now. The other factions in the God Realm and the many Rogue Cultivators would not join forces with them anytime soon.

And even if they spread the word about Ling Tian's scheme, no cultivators would believe them.
It made sense. Chi Xue's faction alone couldn't gain any advantage against Ling Tian and the others. Now the latter had even built the beginnings of a base. Under the assault of so many Laser Cannons, Chi Xue and his people would surely suffer heavy casualties. That was the last thing they wanted.
But if they didn't stop Ling Tian and the others from building their base now, then once it was fully established, Chi Xue and his people would have even less chance of breaking through the Rune Formation and obtaining the rune secret arts.
