Ling Tian's battle with Venerable Sword Saint was naturally sensed by Chi Xue and the others. What left them indignant was that Ling Tian's strength was improving almost as quickly as theirs, despite their refining the Origin Power of powerful Ancient Divine Beasts. Most importantly, they saw that Ling Tian was handling Venerable Sword Saint with relative ease. This left them frustrated and worried that even if the Lord of the Universe assigned them a mission later, they might still be unable to kill or capture Ling Tian and Little Devourer.
