After hearing the Lord of the Universe's words, the Po Family Brothers, the Jade Devouring Sky Python, and the other cultivators were extremely worried. The alliance members and the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators would soon attack Po Tian and Chi Xue, putting them in considerable danger. This was especially true of the experts nearing the Quasi-Saint level. After all, even if Chi Xue and the others had reached the ninth-rank peak, they could still be killed in a sneak attack.
Even if those people failed, it would still be bad news for Chi Xue and the others. They had only two possible fates: either Chi Xue and his allies killed them, or they left the alliance. Either way, the alliance would be weakened. After all, experts nearing the Quasi-Saint level were the alliance's main fighting force. Their deaths or departure would naturally have a major impact on its strength.
Chi Xue and his allies had already suffered heavy casualties in the battles before this. They had fewer than thirty thousand ninth-rank cultivators left, and that figure included nearly twenty thousand Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators. They now had almost no numerical advantage over Ling Tian's side, especially when it came to experts nearing the Quasi-Saint level. If more cultivators of that level were killed or left the alliance, they would have even less of an advantage over Ling Tian's side. In that case, even if all their people later consumed Phoenix Soul Fruits, were reborn through nirvana, and then cultivated the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique, they still wouldn't be a match for Ling Tian's side.
That wasn't even the worst-case scenario. The worst possibility was that the Outer Realm Demon Race cultivators would attack them. After all, the latter still had twice as many people as Chi Xue's alliance.
