Ling Tian and the others had only eight people, after all. If cultivators from that major power who excelled at the Teleportation Secret Technique used it to appear beside them, they wouldn't pose much of a threat, but they could still force Ling Tian and his group to stop attacking with all their might. That would greatly reduce the casualties they inflicted. So, after considering this, Ling Tian deliberately used the Time Secret Technique to stop those cultivators from teleporting. Ling Tian had mastered the Teleportation Secret Technique long ago and had attained a high level of skill with it. He was extremely familiar with it, too, so he could seize the perfect moment to act and use the Time Secret Technique to interrupt those cultivators.
