Venerable Sword Saint had reached the peak of the ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Saint Realm after fusing only three golden cores. If he fused the other six, his cultivation might reach an utterly terrifying level. With that kind of strength, he could easily kill the people on Ling Tian's side—including Chi Xue and the others.
At the thought, Po Di, Chi Xue, and the others grew solemn, with worry creeping into their hearts.
But Po Family Seventeenth Brother and the others hadn't thought of that—not yet, at least. In their hearts, they wanted Venerable Sword Saint to grow even stronger. The stronger he was, the more casualties he would inflict on Ling Tian's side. Perhaps he might even kill Ling Tian, putting an end to the problem that had long troubled them.
That was why they were all stirred up when they heard Ninth Brother of Po Family's words.
"Venerable Sword Saint being too strong might not be a good thing for us, especially if he's far stronger than the people on Ling Tian's side," Po Family's Youngest Brother murmured. Seeing the puzzled looks on Po Family Seventeenth Brother and the others, he explained, "If Venerable Sword Saint easily takes care of Ling Tian and the others, then we'll be his next target. We might not be able to stand against him either, and could end up following in Ling Tian and the others' footsteps."
Only then did Po Family Seventeenth Brother and the others realize that after Venerable Sword Saint dealt with Ling Tian—the Lord of the Universe's foremost chosen seed—he would continue to target the other seeds. Po Tian and Chi Xue were undoubtedly among the Lord of the Universe's chosen seeds; it was easy to tell from the fact that they had undergone the Heavenly Slave trials
