Given Feng Xi's standing in the Rune Cultivators' hearts, if she persuaded them, they might well abandon the Rune Formation and follow her to the Lingxiao Realm or the Fengyun Realm.

Chi Xue and the others would have a much easier time. After hearing this suggestion, Ling Tian immediately said he would ask Feng Xi.
