That was right. If they deployed everyone, Chi Xue and the others would surely spot them through their informants. Ling Tian and his group could only act as an elite squad. But against Chi Xue's large force, that squad had no chance of breaking through their defenses quickly. The longer they were delayed, the greater the danger to Ling Tian and Little Golden—not to mention Fairy Sword Ji and the others. That was the last thing they wanted to see.
