That powerful faction had finally gathered its full forces to attack Fengyun Pavilion, so they naturally wouldn't give up easily. Especially after discovering that Ling Tian and the others weren't inflicting many casualties, and that they had little chance of killing any more experts near the Sage level. Though Ling Tian and the others occasionally inflicted some casualties with their Arrow Formation, those losses were insignificant to a powerful faction with tens of thousands of ninth-rank cultivators. What was more, none of its experts near the Sage level had been killed since.
That made sense. Ling Tian and the others had formidable archery skills, but they were attacking from a great distance. While it was difficult for the faction's enormous ranks to dodge every arrow, and some would inevitably be killed, experts near the Sage level could evade such attacks with ease. As a result, none of that level had been killed since.
As the saying went, a powerful faction's core strength lay in its experts near the Sage level. Since those experts had suffered few losses, the faction's overall strength hadn't been weakened much. In these circumstances, they naturally wouldn't rush to abandon their attack on the Fengyun Realm. After all, the Phoenix Soul Fruit Tree and the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique were still great temptations.
And so, the faction continued toward the northern region of the God Realm. However, Ling Tian and the others were intercepting them, slowing their progress considerably. At the very least, they were moving much more slowly than the other three factions preparing to attack. As things stood, those other three would reach the northern region first. Since even the faction Ling Tian and the others were intercepting hadn't given up, the other three posed no less of a threat and wouldn't back down
