All of what they had discussed earlier was just Chi Xue and the Jade Devouring Sky Python's wishful thinking. Achieving their goal would be difficult. At the very least, they had two problems to overcome. First, could the Jade Devouring Sky Python capture Ling Tian? Second, would Fairy Meng Shang and the others be willing—and able—to steal the Phoenix Soul Fruit and trade it for him? Either one would be difficult, let alone both.
Hearing Chi Xue's words, the Jade Devouring Sky Python fell silent. It knew achieving their goal would be difficult, perhaps no easier than becoming a Saint.
After a long silence, the Jade Devouring Sky Python said, "It may be difficult, but this is our only chance to obtain the Phoenix Soul Fruit and defeat Ling Tian. We can't let it slip away."
"Mm, exactly." Chi Xue nodded, then looked toward the Po Family Brothers. "I hope they'll agree to the deal and let the Heaven-Devouring Hou fight first. That would give us a better chance of capturing Ling Tian and a greater hope of obtaining the Phoenix Soul Fruit. I just don't know whether the Po Family Brothers will think of this. If they do, they probably won't readily agree."
At that, the Jade Devouring Sky Python fell silent. It knew this was their only chance to obtain the Phoenix Soul Fruit. If the Po Family Brothers realized that, they likely wouldn't readily agree to let them strike first, even though they knew that sending the Heaven-Devouring Hou out first would give them a better chance of capturing Ling Tian.
It made sense. Po Family's Youngest Brother and Po Di were clever men. They could naturally analyze the benefits of capturing Ling Tian. Though their chances were slim, they would seize any opportunity they got. So
