Thinking about it, that made sense. Only when the experts at Chi Xue and the others' side dwindled to an extremely low number would they stop posing a threat to Ling Tian and his group. That number was probably fewer than a thousand—or even a hundred. But Chi Xue and the others would never give the major powers such an opportunity. As Ninth Brother of Po Family had said, although the major powers were hunting them, they still held the initiative. They could send their cultivators into the Small World at any moment, shake off the pursuit, and hide.
As long as they could maintain tens of thousands—or even more—of ninth-rank experts, and given that Chi Xue and the others had obtained many Phoenix Soul Fruits and Black Tortoise Fruits, they would be at no disadvantage in either numbers or top experts. In another clash with Ling Tian and his group, they naturally wouldn't be forced onto the back foot. They would likely gain the upper hand and inflict heavy casualties on Ling Tian's side.
At that, everyone nodded in agreement. The thought that one day they might surpass Ling Tian and his group and then wipe them all out filled them with anticipation.
"Of course, all this depends on us obtaining more Phoenix Soul Fruits and Black Tortoise Fruits. The more fruits we get, the better our chances of surpassing Ling Tian and killing them all," Chi Xue said, glancing toward the major powers pursuing them.
