Ling Tian's analysis made a lot of sense.

In an instant, cultivators poured in from every direction, including many who had previously given up on surrounding the Sacred Ruins Abyss. Even if Ling Tian and the others continued ambushing them and inflicting heavy casualties, it would be difficult to break through directly. What's more, so many cultivators at the Twenty-ninth Heaven of Near-Saint were pursuing them, leaving them little time to ambush those surrounding the Sacred Ruins Abyss. Given the situation, everyone realized that unless they dealt with those cultivators at the Twenty-ninth Heaven of Near-Saint, breaking out would be nearly impossible.
