Ling Tian was a clever man, too. In an instant, he understood why Chi Xue and the others had suddenly changed course and returned to the eastern region of the God Realm. When he realized he could no longer catch them off guard and kill them ahead of time, he was bitterly disappointed. After all, the more people he killed now, the easier his mission would be later.
"Chi Xue and the others are clever. They wouldn't give you an opening like that." Poxiong could naturally guess why Ling Tian was disappointed. He chuckled. "Still, with your strength and Small Devourer at your side, you don't need to fear Chi Xue and the others. There's no great need to hunt down their people ahead of time."
Before Ling Tian could reply, he continued, "Besides, though you could pursue them now, that place isn't the northern region of the God Realm. It isn't your territory, and killing Chi Xue and the others there won't be easy. Don't forget, they've fused with powerful Ancient Divine Beasts, which has greatly increased their strength. Even if they still can't match you, they're now extremely capable of protecting themselves. What's more, Venerable Sword Saint is with them. He can fuse with eight golden cores."
"Right. Chasing them to the northern region of the God Realm now would just be a waste of time." Ling Tian nodded and turned around.

A thousand years might not be enough to raise my cultivation to the thirteenth Heaven of the Near-Saint stage, but I can refine plenty of High-level Outer Realm Power, Ultimate Lightning
