It made sense. If they could seize all the Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures belonging to Ling Tian and the Demon Slayer Alliance, they would collect 107 different Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures—just one short of gathering them all. That was an irresistible temptation to any cultivator or sect, including the Dark Pavilion and Mist Hidden Sect. In such circumstances, they might well make a sudden move to seize the treasures, especially since they would be at the site of the duel.
The cultivators escorting the Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures would certainly be highly advanced—at least at the Twenty-fifth Heaven of Near-Saint, and possibly at the Twenty-sixth Heaven of Near-Saint or even higher. They would naturally be confident of defeating Ling Tian and the others, or the Demon Slayer Alliance's cultivators, especially after their opponents had fought a major battle and been greatly depleted.
If that really happened, Ling Tian and the others would be in grave danger. They might not only lose their chance to obtain those two Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures, but could also be captured or even killed. At the thought, Chi Xue and the others grew solemn. After all, this was a real possibility.
Ling Tian knew it was possible too, but he could only gamble that the Mist Hidden Sect placed great importance on its reputation and would still hand over the Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures as promised.
Of course, Ling Tian would not put all his hopes in the Mist Hidden Sect's cultivators keeping their word. He still had some confidence in reserve: he trusted the fused Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation and Buddha Kingdom World they had set up.
It made sense. Ling Tian and the others had seen with their own eyes how powerful the fused Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation and Buddha Kingdom World were defensively.
