Although he did not want to admit it, Po Family Seventeenth Brother and the others all knew that if Ling Tian's side merely kept them occupied instead of engaging them head-on, then Chi Xue and the others had no hope of killing or capturing them. Since most of Ling Tian's group had cultivated the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique, confronting them like this was extremely unwise. What was more, after Ling Tian used his teleportation secret technique to appear in the middle of their formation, he would have a chance to kill any cultivators below the Quasi-Saint Seventh Order, High Grade.
At that, many fell silent. But Po Family Seventeenth Brother was quite unwilling to give up. He proposed that they all fuse with even more powerful Ancient Divine Beasts, which would raise their overall strength by more than one or two levels. Then dealing with Ling Tian's group would naturally be no problem. Many supported his suggestion—most of them wanted to make trouble for Ling Tian's side and vent the resentment they had built up over the years.
"Forget that fusing with Ancient Divine Beasts would take ten thousand years, followed by several thousand more to stabilize and get used to our higher realms. Even if we did fuse, so what? Would that mean we could capture or kill Ling Tian's group?" Chi Xue challenged. Seeing everyone fall silent again, he continued, "There's no denying that Ling Tian's group is exceptionally good at staying alive. It's not just because Ling Tian knows a teleportation technique; most importantly, there are several God Devouring Bodies in their ranks. Even if fusing with Ancient Divine Beasts greatly increased our strength, capturing or killing them would still be difficult. It would only make our own people safer. A prolonged standoff with Ling Tian's group
