Ling Tian was a clever man, too. The moment he sensed that Mo Ye was undergoing his tribulation in the western region of the God Realm, he immediately figured out why Mo Ye had done so. He also realized that Chi Xue and the others truly meant to obtain the Ultimate Lightning Tribulation Power at all costs, even if it meant offending Venerable Sword Saint. That let him breathe a little easier. Even if Venerable Sword Saint couldn't attack Chi Xue and the others because of this, Ling Tian knew that at the very least, the two sides would become enemies. That would affect their plans to join forces later on.
It made sense. Chi Xue and the others' actions would undoubtedly offend Venerable Sword Saint. Even if he couldn't attack them over it, their relationship would plummet, and that would certainly affect their plans to join forces. At the very least, it would delay them for a long time. The longer the delay, the better for Ling Tian and his companions. After all, they would grow stronger with time, giving them a better chance of withstanding a joint attack from Chi Xue and the others and Venerable Sword Saint.
At the very least, the stronger Ling Tian and his companions became, the better their chances of surviving Venerable Sword Saint's pursuit. This was especially true if the gap between their strength and that of Venerable Sword Saint after he fused all his golden cores continued to shrink.

If Ling Tian and his companions weren't too far behind Venerable Sword Saint after he fused all his golden cores, they could withstand his attacks even without the Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation. Then they wouldn't just be spared the need to abandon the formation; they might even
