Thinking about it, Ling Tian was far stronger than Chi Xue and the others at this point. If the Lord of the Universe had truly assigned him the task of attacking them, he could have come straight at them. There would have been no need for such underhanded schemes; that would have made him seem petty. And from what Chi Xue and the others knew of Ling Tian, he wasn't that kind of person.
"Um, could Ling Tian be worried he won't find us, so he did this on purpose?" Shi Meng suddenly asked. As she spoke, she looked around at the others. "Although Ling Tian is much stronger than us, you all know what the God Realm is like. It's shrouded in thick fog, and we can't use Teleportation Formations. Finding us won't be easy for him. So maybe he used these reports to keep us where we are, then quietly searched for us and came here to attack. After all, that would give him a better chance of finding and killing us."
"But Ling Tian is still revealing his aura. If he comes near us, we'll naturally know, and then we'll be on guard. There'd be no chance of him succeeding, especially now that we're already wary." Shi Ying said gravely, "In that case, doing this wouldn't seem to serve much purpose."
"Maybe he knows that too, so he's deliberately revealing his aura to let the others around him find us. For example, Fairy Meng Shang or Wu Ling could find us. With their strength, they could keep tracking our auras, and then Ling Tian could pursue us the whole time." Shi Meng thought of another possibility, and some of the others agreed with her.
"But what would Ling Tian gain by attacking us?" Po Family's Youngest Brother
