Facing the harassment from Ling Tian and the others, Chi Xue and his people simply couldn't capture any Ancient Divine Beasts. After analyzing the situation, they realized it was because Ling Tian's group excelled at archery, and the dozens of them formed a large-scale Arrow Formation. So they decided to split into several forces, which would force Ling Tian's group to do the same.
Ling Tian's group only had a few dozen people to begin with. If they split up, each force would have very few members. Even if they formed an Arrow Formation, it wouldn't be large enough to pose much of a threat to Chi Xue and the others.
They merely disagreed a little over how many forces to divide into.
Some proposed splitting into two forces. That way, each force would be powerful, and the stronger they were, the easier it would be for them to capture Ancient Divine Beasts.
Others disagreed. They knew that Ling Tian alone could stop an entire army, while the Arrow Formation formed by Fairy Meng Shang and the others would still be large enough to threaten them. So they proposed splitting into three or four forces, which would keep Fairy Meng Shang's group from forming a large-scale Arrow Formation.
Of course, some of Chi Xue's people felt that splitting into too many forces would make each one much weaker. They might be able to forcibly capture some Ancient Divine Beasts, but only those at the quasi-Saint sixth rank. It would be very difficult to forcibly capture a quasi-Saint seventh-rank beast, especially one at the peak of that rank. And if they couldn't capture seventh-rank Ancient Divine Beasts, it wouldn't do much to improve their overall strength.
In the end, the two sides argued endlessly. With no other choice, they all looked
