That was right. Based on the intelligence they had gathered, Ling Tian and the others quickly concluded that someone was trying to break free of the Demon God's restraints—in other words, someone was undergoing the final tribulation. But the terrifying destructive force dissipated soon afterward, making it clear that the cultivator had failed. Ling Tian was deeply worried, afraid that one of his friends or family might be the one who had attempted the tribulation. After all, once they had broken free of the Lord of the Universe's restraints, the strongest people left in the God Realm were Ling Chou and the disciples Chi Xue and the others had recruited.
Thinking of this, Chi Xue and the others grew worried too. They feared their disciples had failed the tribulation and perished. Even though they had recruited those disciples at first only to give Ling Chou trouble and win some face with Ling Tian, those disciples were still their own. More importantly, their disciples were protecting Po Di and the others. If those disciples fell, their friends and family would be in grave danger as well.
That made sense. Although the Demon God had promised Ling Tian and the others that he would protect their friends and family, having an additional layer of protection was naturally better. The disciples recruited by Ling Chou and Chi Xue's group provided that extra safeguard.
