After learning from Po Qiong that experts of Yuan Yi and Elder Heaven-Devouring Wolf's caliber could lock onto a target's aura, even if the target hid inside another cultivator's Small World, Ling Tian was deeply worried. After all, he knew that Venerable Sword Saint was an expert on Yuan Yi's level too. That meant he could surely lock onto the auras of Little Devourer and the others, then keep pursuing them. It would be extremely difficult to shake him off. Ling Tian knew that experts of Venerable Sword Saint's caliber would never release their auras recklessly. That only strengthened his belief that Venerable Sword Saint had released his aura earlier to lock onto Little Devourer or another cultivator.
Seeing Ling Tian's concern, Little Devourer was furious. He said that if Venerable Sword Saint really meant to attack them, he would face him in battle. After all, Venerable Sword Saint's target was him. As long as he showed himself, Venerable Sword Saint naturally wouldn't attack Ling Tian and the others.
"Don't say such childish things. If you face Venerable Sword Saint, we certainly won't stand by and do nothing," Ling Tian said, his voice firm and leaving no room for argument. After a brief pause, he continued, "But with our current strength, we're still no match for him. A head-on fight would leave us with heavy casualties, and we wouldn't even be able to harm him. We'd just be throwing our lives away."
Little Devourer naturally knew Ling Tian wouldn't leave him to die alone. He said solemnly, "We're no match for him head-on, and he's already locked onto my aura. Even though we've set up many secret Teleportation Formations in the God Realm, we probably can't keep hiding from him forever. We'll still be in danger. What should we do?"
