Ling Tian and the others didn't want the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators or Chi Xue and his people to capture large numbers of Quasi-Saint Ninth Order Ancient Divine Beasts. So they needed to station people throughout the God Realm, ready to rescue any Ancient Divine Beasts that ventured inside. They also had to intercept the super-large Universe Flying Saucers. After all, if all five thousand of them reached the northern region of the God Realm, they could inflict heavy losses on Ling Tian and the others. For instance, many of their temporary strongholds might be destroyed. Although those strongholds were only temporary, Ling Tian and the others would still need them later to intercept the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators. If most of them were destroyed, they would inflict far fewer losses on the enemy.
Besides that, they also needed to leave some people behind in the northern region of the God Realm, since other Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators might still attack their temporary strongholds.
These three tasks required plenty of manpower, and Ling Tian and the others were short-handed. Ling Tian, Hua Min'er, and the others couldn't fight because they had to prepare for the reversal of their golden cores, while the Young Leader hadn't recovered to his peak. At present, he couldn't pose much of a threat to the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators.
That was why Fairy Sword Princess, Fairy Lei Ying, and the others looked so grave.
Ling Tian, however, wasn't worried. He knew that the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators wouldn't attack their temporary strongholds before the super-large Universe Flying Saucers arrived. Without the saucers to cover them, the people Ling Tian left behind could inflict heavy casualties on the enemy. Little White could use large numbers of White Bone to hold them
