It was true. A cultivator of Venerable Sword Saint's stature would never do something meaningless. In other words, he had deliberately released his aura earlier. Since he had directed it toward the northern region of the God Realm, the Young Leader could easily infer that he was locking onto the auras of Ling Tian, Xiao Shi, and the others, so he could attack them later. That meant that even if Ling Tian and the others abandoned Fengyun Realm and hid inside the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation, they would have a hard time evading Venerable Sword Saint's pursuit.
Feng Lingzi had thought of this, too, and he was worried. After sensing Venerable Sword Saint's power, he had not the slightest confidence that he could face him.
"So we have to find a way to solve this problem. We can't leave everything to Ling Tian," the Young Leader said. Seeing Feng Lingzi nod in agreement, he continued, "I have a proposal. If Venerable Sword Saint really does attack us, then we'll have to join forces..."
"But even if we join forces, I'm afraid we still won't be able to hold off Venerable Sword Saint. You sensed how powerful he is, too. From what I can tell, he could kill me with ease." Feng Lingzi looked at the Young Leader, the meaning plain as day.
It made sense. Although the Young Leader was somewhat stronger than Feng Lingzi, the difference wasn't great. Since Venerable Sword Saint could easily kill Feng Lingzi, he could just as easily kill the Young Leader. Even if the two of them joined forces, they would have a hard time resisting him. So, in Feng Lingzi's eyes, their alliance would be utterly pointless.
"No. I don't mean that we should fight side by side," the Young Leader
