Chi Xue and the others knew Ling Tian's side quite well, and Ling Tian's people naturally knew Chi Xue's side just as well. For example, Fairy Meng Shang had already figured out why Chi Xue and the others hadn't left after Old Man Ling and the others began setting up their base, despite not trying to stop them. Her deduction was much the same as what Chi Xue had told the Jade Devouring Sky Python.

They think we're after their rune arts and want them all to ourselves, keeping the other God Realm factions and the many Rogue Cultivators from obtaining them," Ling Tian said gravely. A smile tugged at his lips. "The reason they're staying here is simple: to keep us in check, so we can't seize the Rune Formation and obtain the rune arts."
At that, Fairy Sword Ji began to understand what Ling Tian and the others meant, but she quickly thought of another problem. "But the other God Realm factions and all those Rogue Cultivators are still here. Chi Xue and the others must think we don't want the cultivators from those factions to obtain the Rune Formation either. In other words, as long as those factions are here, we still won't attack the Rune Formation."

If Ling Tian's group seized the Rune Formation while the other God Realm factions and Rogue Cultivators were present, those factions would certainly capture some Rune Cultivators too. It wouldn't be especially difficult for their cultivators to learn the rune arts.
