Mo Xie now had two choices in the fierce battle with Xiao Chen and Chen Ling. He could either disregard everything and fight to the death with Xiao Chen and Chen Ling, or he could only choose to give up.
Mo Xie knew that if he fought to the death with Xiao Chen and Chen Ling, he would definitely have to pay a price. The best case scenario would be that both sides would be severely injured. In that case, the Liwang Sect and Supreme Deity Sect would definitely take action.
He was furious that Xiao Chen was a lunatic who did not care about anything else. However, in addition to his anger, Mo Xie hated the Liwang Sect even more because they had betrayed him.
He had to make a choice as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he continued to fight and his injuries were too serious, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.
Mo Xie was constantly weighing the pros and cons in his heart. Xiao Chen did not stop from the beginning and continued to attack Mo Xie fiercely. This made Mo Xie feel depressed and incomparably aggrieved.
If the Supreme Deity Sect and Liwang Sect were not watching covetously from the side, how could Mo Xie be so restrained? He would have already fought to the death with Xiao Chen. So what if he was besieged by Xiao Chen and Chen Ling?
However, it was a pity that the current situation did not allow Mo Xie to do so.
Mo Xie was hesitating in his heart. At the same time, a smile flashed across the eyes of Wang Zhong, Sharjah, and the others from the Liwang Sect and Supreme Deity Sect as they watched the three of them getting more and more injured in the fierce battle.
Fight. As long as they continued to fight, the two sects would be able to reap the benefits when the time came.
They could not hide the excitement in their hearts. However, just as Wang Zhong and Sharjah were secretly excited, Mo Xie, who was originally in the midst of a fierce battle, forced Xiao Chen and Chen Ling back with his own strength. Then, he took the initiative to retreat.
There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth and the expression in his eyes was extremely cold. Mo Xie took the initiative to retreat, then looked at Wang Zhong and said coldly.
"Wang Zhong, you want to reap the benefits? Even if I don't want the inheritance of the Sky Expanse Sect, I will not let you succeed."
Wang Zhong finally made a decision. Upon hearing Mo Xie's words, Wang Zhong's expression sunk. However, before he could reply, Mo Xie turned his head and spoke to Xiao Chen.
"What a boorish man. To think that you would disregard the bigger picture for the sake of a mere woman. Xiao Chen and the Sacred Palace, I will remember what happened today. There will be plenty of time in the future."
After speaking to Wang Zhong and Xiao Chen, Mo Xie coldly shouted, "Let's go."
As he spoke, he was the first to rush out of the great hall. Seeing this, Gu Changle, Hundred Flower Fairy, and Gu Lingyao, as well as the Prospective Saints of the Night Ghost Pavilion, also took the initiative to break free from their battle and rushed out of the great hall behind Mo Xie.
Mo Xie chose to retreat. This also meant that he had given up on the inheritance of the Sky Expanse Sect. Seeing this, Xiao Chen originally wanted to chase after Mo Xie, but he was stopped by Chen Ling.
"Third brother …"
Mo Xie had taken the initiative to retreat, but this did not mean that he was afraid of the Sacred Palace. Instead, he was wary of the Supreme God Sect and the Liwang Sect. If Xiao Chen continued to chase after Mo Xie, wouldn't he be falling into Mo Xie's trap? Without the Supreme God Sect and the Liwang Sect by his side, Mo Xie would no longer have any concerns.
Knowing Xiao Chen's current feelings, Chen Ling still felt that since things had already happened, as the first Chosen of the Sacred Palace, he could not only think about his own hatred. He also had to consider the bigger picture.
Xiao Chen was stopped by Chen Ling. Although his heart was still filled with killing intent, he knew that Chen Ling was right. Mo Xie had retreated not because he was afraid, but because he did not want both sides to suffer. Therefore, it was unwise to chase after Mo Xie.
After this fierce battle, Xiao Chen had more or less vented his anger. Since he was not confident that he could kill Mo Xie, would he be able to bring Qin Shuirou back even if he killed Mo Xie? Obviously not.
Since there was nothing he could do, he had to look at the bigger picture. Plus, Bai Hua Fairy and Gu Lingyao were still by his side.
Now that Qin Shuirou was in trouble, Xiao Chen naturally could not let anything happen to Hundred Flower Fairy and Gu Lingyao. Therefore, after taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen finally gave up on chasing after Mo Xie.
Seeing Xiao Chen's decision, Chen Ling also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Hundred Flower Fairy and Gu Lingyao also came to Xiao Chen's side with worried faces, tightly holding onto Xiao Chen's hands.
Sensing the two girls' concern, Xiao Chen forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Forcing himself to calm down, Xiao Chen quickly came up with a plan. There was nothing he could do about Qin Shuirou for the time being. He could only use the Sacred Palace's power to search for him after leaving the Tian Yan Sect's secret territory. Although the North Star Boundary was very large, the Sacred Palace was a quasi-sage sect. If they spared no expense to search for a person's whereabouts, it was not impossible to find him.
The only thing Xiao Chen was worried about was Qin Shuirou's injuries. After being sent away by the teleportation formation, whether Qin Shuirou could survive was the most important thing. Xiao Chen did not dare to imagine what would happen if they found Qin Shuirou's corpse in the end.
Xiao Chen gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and indicated to Hundred Flower Fairy and Gu Lingyao that he was fine. Then, he led a group of people to the Capital Heavenly Sacred Sect and Liwang Sect.
Sharjah and Wang Zhong were a little disappointed that Mo Xie had escaped and neither side had suffered heavy losses. However, it was useless to say anything now. Thus, Sharjah, who was an ally on the surface, took the initiative to smile at Xiao Chen.
"Brother Xiao Chen, it's good that you're fine. However, it's really surprising that you were able to force Mo Xie to retreat."
His words seemed to be filled with concern and flattery, but Xiao Chen knew that Sharjah did not think that way at all. He could not wait for Xiao Chen and Mo Xie to suffer heavy losses.
However, they still needed to use the Supreme Divine Sect now, so Xiao Chen still put on an act and smiled.
"Brother Sharjah, you're too polite. It's all thanks to you keeping an eye on the Liwang Sect. If the Liwang Sect had joined in, we would have been in danger."
"You're too kind. We're allies anyway. Brother Xiao Chen, you're too kind." Sharjah also rode his donkey down the slope when he heard Xiao Chen's words.
He did not say anything bad about the Supreme Divine Sect. On the contrary, from Xiao Chen's words, the Supreme Divine Sect's actions were actually meritorious for keeping an eye on the Liwang Sect.
Xiao Chen was naturally not muddle-headed. He definitely had his own motives for saying this. Just as Sharjah finished speaking, Xiao Chen looked at the Liwang Sect led by Wang Zhong and a cold smile flashed in his eyes. Then, he spoke to Sharjah in an unfriendly tone.
"Brother Sharjah, now that the Night Ghost Pavilion has escaped, only the Liwang Sect is left. Do you think we should …?"
When he heard Xiao Chen's words, Wang Zhong's face immediately darkened. He cursed in his heart, Damn it. Cunning human. He actually wants to eradicate the Liwang Sect.
Previously, Wang Zhong felt that Xiao Chen's attitude was a little strange, but now, Wang Zhong instantly understood.
