After confirming that Ling Tian and the others hadn't been deliberately holding back, Chi Xue and his companions finally chose to act. This prompted the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators to dispatch over a thousand Ninth Order experts, along with tens of thousands of oversized Universe Flying Saucers and their support craft, to hunt them down. They even resorted to their trump card: the Outer Realm Demon Race had hidden over a hundred Quasi-Saint Ninth Order experts. Half went to hunt down Chi Xue and his companions, while the rest were sent to deal with Ling Tian and the others.
The Outer Realm Demon Race had resorted to their trump card not only because Chi Xue and his companions' harassment had become unbearable, but, more importantly, because they believed Ling Tian and the others no longer had any trump cards. Rather than keep dragging things out, it was better to unleash their full strength and end the battle as quickly as possible. That way, they could seize the Phoenix Soul Fruit sooner and then hunt down Chi Xue and his companions. Chi Xue and his group had killed many Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators and captured even more, earning the race's bitter hatred. If they hadn't needed to deal with Ling Tian and the others, the Outer Realm Demon Race would have attacked Chi Xue's group long ago.
Of course, the Outer Realm Demon Race also knew that Chi Xue and his companions were powerful, especially with the God Devouring Body protecting them with the God-Devouring Demon Domain while they unleashed powerful archery techniques. So even with over a thousand Ninth Order experts on their side, they weren't entirely confident. To reduce their casualties, sending dozens of Ninth Order Peak experts to hunt them down was undoubtedly the best choice.
