After Ling Tian and Fairy Meng Shang analyzed the situation, Tan Tai Xiao Lin and the others fully understood the intent behind Ling Tian's earlier suggestion. They also realized that this approach might not reduce their efficiency in hunting down their next targets—especially if they focused on killing cultivators with higher cultivation levels after breaking through the bases of major powers.
It made sense. Although Ling Tian and the others had been highly efficient in attacking smaller and mid-sized powers, most of the cultivators they encountered had lower cultivation levels than their own. After all, there weren't many Quasi-Saint Ninth Order High-grade cultivators in the various major powers—far fewer than those at the initial and middle grades of the Ninth Order. This had somewhat limited their hunting efficiency, since only killing cultivators whose cultivation levels were at least as high as their own counted toward the quota.
If Ling Tian and the others deliberately focused on cultivators whose cultivation levels were no lower than theirs when attacking major powers, it might seem as though they weren't killing many people. But most of their targets would meet the Lord of the Universe's requirements, so their efficiency might actually improve, just as Ling Tian had said.
Moreover, prioritizing the high-level cultivators in a major power would deal a heavy blow to its overall strength. And if they didn't kill too many cultivators, the various major powers wouldn't unite against them too soon.
"That's not all. If we break through a major power's base and kill some of its elite experts, especially its elite squads, we'll give the other powers an opening. After all, a power without many elite experts is undoubtedly the best target for them, so they'll naturally attack it next." Ling Tian continued, the corners of his mouth lifting into
