It made sense. Back then, Venerable Sword Saint had been far, far stronger than Ling Tian and the others, while Chi Xue and his group could never become much stronger than Ling Tian's. If even Venerable Sword Saint had been unable to do anything to Ling Tian and the others, then Chi Xue and his group stood even less chance. So Ling Tian wasn't worried, and after hearing him, the others' expressions eased a little.
