Ling Tian finally used his advantage to put some distance between himself and the Thunder Strike Sect cultivators. As time passed, that distance kept growing, which exhilarated Chi Xue and the others. They knew it meant their plan for dealing with the Thunder Strike Sect cultivators was workable. From now on, they wouldn't have to worry about being caught by them.
Of course, Chi Xue and the others knew that merely escaping the Thunder Strike Sect cultivators' pursuit wasn't enough. They also needed time to kill the cultivators surrounding the Sacred Ruins Abyss. Only then could they stop those cultivators from tightening the encirclement. After all, the smaller the encirclement became, the less room they had to move, and the easier it would be for them to get caught.
As they'd said before, Ling Tian and the others needed to break out of the encirclement ahead of time. To do that, they first had to kill large numbers of the cultivators surrounding the Sacred Ruins Abyss, making more of them abandon the encirclement out of fear. Once Shi Meng and the others realized this, they urged Ling Tian to launch a surprise attack on the encircling cultivators as soon as possible, especially since it would take the Thunder Strike Sect cultivators some time to catch up.
"Don't rush. We're still a little too close to the Thunder Strike Sect cultivators, so we don't have much time to deal with the cultivators surrounding us." Ling Tian remained unruffled. "It'd be best to put some more distance between us and them. More importantly, that'll wear them down further and give us more time to deal with the cultivators surrounding us. You and I both know that having enough time will give our operation a better chance of success."
