Ling Chou and Chu Ying were more accomplished in the Teleportation Secret Technique, which meant they were more mobile than Chi Xue and Po Tian's disciples. On top of that, their Small Worlds were larger and their recovery abilities stronger, giving them an edge in a war of attrition. Once they locked onto their targets, escape was almost impossible—especially since Chi Xue and the others' disciples didn't dare scatter. If they did, some stragglers would inevitably be caught, and those cultivators could only meet their deaths. That was the last thing they wanted to see.
But if they stayed together, escaping Ling Chou and Chu Ying's pursuit was nearly impossible. Once Chi Xue's people were worn down, even more of them would surely perish under the pair's relentless pursuit. They had little chance to open their Small Worlds and take the cultivators around them inside, so they couldn't use that method to help the God Devouring Body cast Phantom Clones and escape.
Even if someone with the God Devouring Body could take all the cultivators nearby into their Small World and then cast Phantom Clones, they still might not escape.
