Venerable Sword Saint, who had fused eight golden cores, was extremely powerful—strong enough to pose a lethal threat to Ling Tian and any of the others. The only reason Ling Tian had been able to hold his own against him was that he had the secret Teleportation Formations and the corpse ghosts he'd prepared in advance. Without them, facing Venerable Sword Saint would still be extremely dangerous for him.
Ling Tian was the cultivator in their faction with the strongest means of staying alive, stronger even than Little Devourer and Feng Lingzi. If even he was in great danger against Venerable Sword Saint, the others would fare even worse. This meant that if Venerable Sword Saint stationed himself along the border of the God Realm's Northern Region, he could intimidate Ling Tian and the others into not crossing into the Central Region or any of the other regions. Although Ling Tian's group had also set up Teleportation Formations in the other regions, there were far fewer of them than in the Northern Region. If Venerable Sword Saint pursued them, even Ling Tian would be in danger—especially if Venerable Sword Saint could use the Teleportation Formations too.
That's right. Venerable Sword Saint would be able to use the Teleportation Formations in the future, because Chi Xue and the others had decided to tell him the locations of their secret teleportation points throughout the God Realm. Naturally, this would make it easier for him to hunt down Ling Tian's faction. Under these circumstances, it would be difficult for Ling Tian and the others to escape his pursuit. They would have no choice but to hide in the Northern Region, leaving Chi Xue's people free to target the secret Teleportation Formations Ling Tian's group had set up elsewhere in the God Realm.
