At the same time Ling Tian received the Lord of the Universe's task, Chi Xue and the others, along with Venerable Sword Saint, received theirs as well. However, after learning the task's details, they were both surprised and disappointed. After all, Po Family Seventeenth Brother and the others believed it would be easier to kill Ling Tian if they surrounded Little Devourer and then waited in ambush for Ling Tian. They weren't sure they could kill Ling Tian and Little Devourer in a direct confrontation, even though they had considerable confidence in their own strength. At the very least, surrounding Little Devourer and waiting in ambush for Ling Tian would make killing them easier.
"Senior Sword Saint, you were also enveloped by that aura earlier, so I imagine you received a task too." Though he phrased it as a question, Chi Xue sounded quite certain. "It seems your task is different from ours, since ours doesn't mention you. It only involves those of us who fused with Ancient Divine Beasts. So what task did you receive?"
"My task is also very simple: capture or kill Ling Tian within a year." Venerable Sword Saint spoke, his eyes flashing with gleaming light as he said this. He looked utterly confident, his killing intent surging like a tide.
"Kill or capture Ling Tian within a year?!" Po Family's Tenth Brother was taken aback, then blurted out, "This is the northern region of the God Realm. Although you're far stronger than Ling Tian, Senior, you know how cunning he is. I'm afraid you won't have many chances to kill him in a year, and capturing him will be even harder."
"If this were in the northern region of the God Realm, then Senior would indeed have a hard time killing or capturing Ling Tian.
