Ling Tian and the others had said that the more cultivators at the Twenty-ninth Heaven of Near-Saint they captured, the better. So, after they had "captured" Qing Ming and the others, they immediately pursued the other teams. Xiao Ran was faster than those people, especially after transforming into lightning. From what they could tell, Ling Tian and the others had a good chance of catching up before their targets escaped the Sacred Ruins Abyss. And once they caught up, they would have every chance of capturing them.
That made sense. Qing Ming and the other two might not necessarily be stronger than those people; after all, they had only just broken through to the Twenty-ninth Heaven of Near-Saint. In particular, they had yet to begin cultivating the Sacred Heart Sect and Thunder Strike Sect's cultivation arts and secret techniques. But even if their strength was merely comparable, with Ling Tian and the others backing them up, they would certainly defeat their opponents. That would still be true even if Xiao Ran was too depleted to fight by then.
"Fellow Daoist Ling Tian, we should have no trouble catching our targets. Let's discuss our tactics next," Tu Gui suggested. Seeing Ling Tian nod, he continued, "I propose we each choose a target as before. For example, Fellow Daoist Shen Wei and the others can assist Senior Qing Ming against one of them. Fellow Daoist Shen Yi and the other cultivators at the Twenty-eighth Heaven of Near-Saint can join Senior Yun He against another. The remaining people can assist Senior Jian Yi against the last one."
"Of course, our grand formation must cover the entire battlefield, and the God-Devouring Demon Domain cast by Fellow Daoist Chi Xue and the other God Devouring Bodies must cover all the targets as well," Tu Gui
