In Chi Xue and the others' eyes, Feng Lingzi was the strongest person in Fengyun Pavilion. Once he was killed, Feng Ying and the others wouldn't be able to withstand the attacks of the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators, even with the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation. This was practically Chi Xue and the others' only chance.
There were three ways Feng Lingzi might fall. The most likely was that, while reversing his nine Golden Cores, he lost control of the violent energy inside him and exploded. The second possibility was that he successfully reversed his nine Golden Cores and broke through to the Saint God level, only to fall beneath the lightning tribulation. This was also quite likely, and no less probable than his exploding while reversing his Golden Cores.
The final possibility was that an even stronger cultivator attacked him. For example, the Outer Realm Demon Race might have Quasi-Saint Ninth Order High-grade or peak experts—or even several of them. They would have the strength to kill him, especially if several experts of that level joined forces. However, this was somewhat unlikely. Even Quasi-Saint Ninth Order experts among the Outer Realm Demon Race were exceedingly rare, especially High-grade and peak experts. The chance of several such experts attacking Feng Lingzi at once was even slimmer.
Besides, even if several Quasi-Saint Ninth Order High-grade or peak cultivators were present, that didn't mean they would definitely get the chance to kill Feng Lingzi. If he saw that he was outmatched, he could simply retreat—for instance, into the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation. In that case, they would need even more Quasi-Saint Ninth Order experts to break through the formation and kill him.
For all these reasons, the third possibility was the least likely.
"Exactly. I hope Feng Lingzi
