In the end, Wang Chi and the others gave their consent to Xu Que's request to set up the Divine Formation.
However, while letting Xu Que set up the Divine Formation, they surreptitiously removed about 100,000 middle-grade Celestial Spirit Stones from the amount they were going to give Xu Que. They'd decided to do this while he was keeping busy with the Divine Formation.
In fact, they were trying to buy some time in order to confirm whether or not the so-called minor tribulation would appear in an hour's time.
Even if it did appear, they were prepared this time and would try to withstand it with their own strength. If they could withstand it, then they wouldn't need any so-called Sons of Light.
If they couldn't, then...well, they would have to bear the pain of suffering such a loss of their Spirit Stones to avoid the calamity of the tribulation.
