Everyone believed that Little Devourer fighting alongside Ling Tian would better enable them to withstand the attacks from Chi Xue, Po Tian, and the other experts. Their combined strength might even let them kill a few. Hua Min'er and the others agreed with the suggestion, but Ling Tian refused. He insisted that Little Devourer stay with Hua Min'er and the others.
"Why does Little Devourer have to stay with us?" Lian Yue asked, puzzled. She looked at Ling Tian. "Wouldn't it be better for him to go with Brother Tian? After all, he's incredibly strong, even stronger than Brother Tian. He won't hold you back."
That was right. Lian Yue and the others assumed Ling Tian didn't want Little Devourer with him because he was worried about his safety. But everyone knew how powerful Little Devourer was, and how skilled he was in close combat. With his speed and agility, and the fact that he had also practiced the Saint Beetle's evasion technique to a fair degree, he wouldn't hold Ling Tian back.
"Little Devourer with me would certainly give us a better chance of resisting Chi Xue and the others' attacks. We might even get the chance to kill some of them," Ling Tian said. Seeing the others' puzzled expressions, he continued, "But what if, after I teleport into Chi Xue and the others' ranks, they react and send their top experts after you?"
At that, everyone was stunned. Then they finally understood why Ling Tian had arranged things this way.
It made sense. Chi Xue, Po Di, and the others were clever, and they knew what a threat Ling Tian could pose if he teleported into their ranks. Their best tactic then would be to send their top experts after Fairy Meng Shang and the others as quickly
