As I'd said, dealing with Venerable Sword Saint alone wasn't all that difficult. The trouble was if he joined forces with other factions—for example, Chi Xue's side and the alliance of the God Realm's major factions. If that happened, Ling Tian and the others might not be able to hold on to the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation at all. They would have no choice but to abandon Fengyun Realm, take the formation with them, and flee to the God Realm.
If his first defeat sent Venerable Sword Saint retreating, he probably wouldn't ally with Chi Xue's two factions. But after another failure, there was no guarantee he wouldn't. That was what worried Ling Tian and the others most. Once they thought of it, their expressions grew slightly grave, and they began discussing countermeasures. Fairy Lei Ying, however, immediately came up with a plan: strike first at Chi Xue's side and the alliance of the God Realm's major factions, and kill as many of them as possible.
"As I said, even though we're much stronger than Chi Xue's side and the God Realm's major factions right now, it's impossible to kill them all. Chi Xue's side won't fight us head-on, and, unless something unexpected happens, neither will the alliance. They'll just run." Zhuge Xun gave a bitter smile. "I hate to admit it, but in this situation, we can't cause Chi Xue's side much trouble. At the very least, we can't kill them all."
Before anyone could speak, he continued, "Even if Chi Xue's side and the God Realm's major factions have only one or two tenths of their cultivators left, they'd still be able to join forces with Venerable Sword Saint and destroy the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation. So attacking them would be pointless."
At that,
