As the saying went, killing a target was far easier than capturing one. What was more, Chi Xue and the others had so many people, and they were skilled in powerful archery techniques. They could likely kill the little Heaven-Devouring Wolf before Venerable Sword Saint captured him. That way, Venerable Sword Saint wouldn't be able to refine the little wolf's Origin Power and substantially increase his strength.

"If he really can refine the Heaven-Devouring Wolf's Origin Power, we still don't need to worry." Chi Xue saw the others' puzzled expressions and chuckled. "You and I both know how difficult it is to refine the Origin Bloodline Power of a powerful Ancient Divine Beast. The stronger the target's bloodline power, the harder it is to refine. It takes a very long time—more than a hundred thousand years might not even be enough.

For example, we can consume the Phoenix Soul Fruit, be reborn through nirvana, and then cultivate the Nine Reversals Heavenly Technique. Given that much time, we can bring out some of the fruit's effects. Then our
