Chi Xue and the others were clever, and they knew Little Devourer's strength well. They understood that if he hurried over and attacked them, he would inflict heavy casualties—especially if he brought a host of powerful Ancient Divine Beasts and teleported into the ranks of the God Realm's major alliances.

Thinking of this, Chi Xue and the others grew solemn, especially when they saw that Venerable Sword Saint hadn't pursued Little Devourer.
