That was right. As Ling Tian and the others had said, Chi Xue and his companions were the ones who should be agonizing over their decision. Whatever they chose, Ling Tian and the others could accept it. Of course, they were curious to see what Chi Xue and the others would decide.
At that moment, Chi Xue and Po Tian really were agonizing over what to choose.
Going back to when Chi Xue and Po Tian had said goodbye to Ling Tian, Po Tian couldn't help asking as they made their way back, "Fellow Daoist Chi Xue, what did you mean by what you said earlier? That the Lord of the Universe's strength might well exceed our previous estimates?"
"We'll talk when we get back." Chi Xue didn't answer him right away. After a brief pause, he continued, "I'm sure many others have the same questions as you. I'll explain it to everyone then, so we can clear up all your doubts at once."
Po Tian understood what Chi Xue meant: he didn't want to explain it twice. Though Po Tian was a little annoyed by that, he was more eager to know what Chi Xue and Ling Tian had meant. More importantly, they were already close to where their group was camped, so they only had to wait a little longer. He could be patient for that long.
And that was exactly what happened. Chi Xue and the others soon returned to camp. Po Family Seventeenth Brother and the other cultivators came straight over, asking why the Lord of the Universe had sought out Ling Tian. The perceptive Po Di and Po Family's Youngest Brother also asked why Chi Xue and the others, who had been in high spirits earlier, now looked so grave.
