In fact, Chi Xue and the others had made their decision long ago: as long as they and their loved ones survived, it didn't matter if everyone else in the alliance was killed. They didn't even care if experts close to the Quasi-Saint level were among the dead. All that mattered was obtaining the Phoenix Soul Fruits. In Chi Xue and the others' minds, after the God Devouring Bodies consumed the fruits, were reborn through nirvana, and cultivated the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique, they would have a good chance of breaking through to the Quasi-Saint level. Add in the various secret arts they would gain from fusing with Ancient Divine Beasts and cultivating the God Devouring Demon Technique, and their strength would surpass Ling Tian, Feng Lingzi, and the rest.
Since they had a chance to surpass Feng Lingzi, Ling Tian, and the others, they could naturally kill them, too. They had nothing to regret, then, and could use everyone else in the alliance as a means of obtaining the Phoenix Soul Fruits.
At Wen Yan's words, Shi Ying and the others fell silent. They had already made this decision long ago. Besides, they knew that only this way could they surpass Ling Tian and the others—and only then would they have a chance to survive. Compared with staying alive themselves, they had no qualms about sacrificing everyone else.
Before anyone could speak, a glint flashed in his eyes. "Besides, if we have a chance to reach the peak and kill Ling Tian and the others, then everyone except our loved ones can die. Besides, breaking free of the Lord of the Universe's shackles is no easy feat. It's a path where a hundred may die and not one survive. Without that resolve, all that awaits us is death."
