Ling Tian and the others hadn't expected Hua Min'er and the hundreds of other ninth-order experts to become so formidable once they all joined the fight. They stood a very good chance of killing some of the dozens of experts nearing the Quasi-Saint level, and even if they couldn't, they could easily drive them away. The heavy casualties suffered by the two great powers—or their outright retreat—after Hua Min'er and the others entered the fray proved it best. This left them overjoyed, because the situation ahead looked even better than they had expected. If they could inflict heavier losses on those great powers and even hunt them down, then the powers might well abandon their siege of the Fengyun Realm because of the casualties. After that, Ling Tian and the others would have a chance to intercept the batch of Universe Flying Saucers Chi Xue's people were escorting. They could easily destroy most of them, barring any surprises.
It made sense. Since Ling Tian and the others could kill experts nearing the Quasi-Saint level, destroying those Universe Flying Saucers would be easy for them working together. After all, the defenses and firepower of super-large Universe Flying Saucers were far inferior to those of experts nearing the Quasi-Saint level.
Besides, barring any surprises, Chi Xue's elite squad wouldn't take part in escorting that batch of Universe Flying Saucers. That would make them even easier to destroy. With Chi Xue and his people absent, the God-Devouring Demon Domain wouldn't be there to protect the saucers, making the task much easier for Ling Tian and the others.
Fairy Sword Ji and the others, however, would have been delighted if Chi Xue and his people had gone along to escort the saucers. They were confident that, with their current strength, they could inflict casualties
