Just as Xiao Chen had been worried about, the cultivator from the Night Ghost Pavilion was indeed present. He sat on the main seat and looked at the leader of the Ghost King Clan as he spoke.
"How is it? Have the people from the Sacred Palace still not shown up?"
"My lord, the people from the Sacred Palace still haven't shown up. I'm wondering if the Sacred Palace will give up on this supreme-grade spirit vein," the sect master said respectfully.
Hearing the sect master's words, the saint from the Night Ghost Pavilion smiled. "Don't worry, the Sacred Palace won't give up. Just follow the plan and attack every day, but don't attack the spirit vein. You just need to put enough pressure on the Bai Mo Sacred Sect."
The sect master of the Ghost King Sect didn't dare to say anything. He respectfully accepted the order and left the main hall.
The Night Ghost Pavilion's plan was similar to what Xiao Chen had guessed. They wanted to surround and kill all the reinforcements from the Sacred Palace, and the sect master of the Ghost King Sect knew this very well.
However, the sect master of the Ghost King Sect was still a little worried because this plan was too dangerous. After all, the Sacred Palace wasn't stupid. If the Sacred Palace sensed any clues, the Sacred Palace would very likely launch a counterattack.
When that happened, the experts from the Ghost King Sect and the Night Ghost Pavilion would have nowhere to run to in the human territory of the Bai Mo Continent.
After all, the Sacred Palace definitely had the advantage over the Night Ghost Pavilion. This was because the Bai Mo Continent was the Sacred Palace's territory. The reinforcements from the Sacred Palace would obviously be faster than the Night Ghost Pavilion.
He was very worried. This was like walking on a tightrope. The slightest mistake would lead to a tragic death.
Unaware of the sect master's worries, the Saint expert from the Night Ghost Pavilion also got up and left after he left. He then went to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
Ever since the Ghost King Sect conquered Great Peak City, the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion had been turned into a forbidden area by the Night Ghost Pavilion. Apart from the people of the Night Ghost Pavilion, no one else was allowed to enter, including the sect master of the Ghost King Sect.
Therefore, the sect master of the Ghost King Sect knew nothing about what was going on in the backyard.
They walked all the way to the backyard. At this moment, they could see numerous talisman masters of the Night Ghost Pavilion busily working. Moreover, there were many experts of the Night Ghost Pavilion standing guard in the surroundings, including two Saints.
The Night Ghost Pavilion had actually arranged for three Saints to be stationed on the Bai Mo Continent. Following the arrival of this Saint, the other two Saints also walked over. Looking at the two, the Saint asked.
"How is it? When will it be completed? I estimate that the reinforcements from the Sacred Palace will be arriving soon."
Hearing this Saint's words, another Saint from the Night Ghost Pavilion laughed and said, "Don't worry, we'll be done in five days at most."
"Good, that's good. At that time, not only will we have the absolute initiative, we can also retreat calmly if anything happens," the Saint said with a smile.
Listening to their conversation, if Xiao Chen was present, he would have been shocked to find out that the Night Ghost Pavilion had carved out a cross-realm transportation array in Vast Peak City. Furthermore, it looked like it would be completed soon.
As for where the cross-realm transportation array would lead to, there was no doubt that it would lead to the Night Ghost Pavilion.
The Night Ghost Pavilion's original plan to kill the reinforcements from the Sacred Palace was the geographical factor. However, with this cross-realm transportation array, it would be completely different.
When the time came, the experts of the Night Ghost Pavilion would be able to continuously rush to the Bai Mo Continent through the transportation array. At that time, even if the Sacred Palace sent reinforcements, it would be difficult to stop them.
It had to be said that the Night Ghost Pavilion was indeed far-sighted and ruthless. They were willing to build a trans-realm transportation formation just for the sake of killing the Holy Palace's reinforcements. They were indeed rich and overbearing.
One had to know that the construction of a cross-realm transportation array was extremely expensive. Moreover, this cross-realm transportation array could only be used once because the Night Ghost Pavilion could not stay on the Bai Mo Continent forever. As long as they took down the reinforcements from the Sacred Palace, the people of the Night Ghost Pavilion would definitely retreat. At that time, the cross-realm transportation array would be destroyed.
It was indeed daring. However, the Night Ghost Pavilion probably did not expect that they were not the only ones who had built a cross-realm transportation array on the Bai Mo Continent. The Sacred Palace had done the same.
It could be said that the cross-realm transportation array that the Sacred Palace had built on the Bai Mo Continent was too exquisite. Without it, the Night Ghost Pavilion's scheme would have succeeded. However, it was hard to say now because both sides had cross-realm transportation arrays. As such, the outcome was unpredictable.
Regardless, the cross-realm transportation array that the Night Ghost Pavilion had built did indeed pose a significant threat to the Sacred Palace. Of course, this all depended on whether the Sacred Palace could detect it immediately. If they could detect it immediately, the cross-realm transportation array that the Sacred Palace had built on Baimo Shengzong would be able to stop the Night Ghost Pavilion.
Both sides used their own methods to enter and exit. While the Night Ghost Pavilion was building a cross-realm transportation array, Xiao Chen and the others secretly arrived at the supreme-grade spirit vein one day later.
Due to the Ghost King Sect's attack, the spirit vein had been temporarily mined. As such, the human laborers in charge of mining had been arranged to a safe area in the rear. At this moment, only the experts from Baimo Shengzong were present in the spirit vein.
Xiao Chen and the others had secretly arrived. Only the sect master of Baimo Shengzong knew about this. At this moment, in the city beside the spirit vein, Xiao Chen's group and the sect master of Baimo Shengzong sat together in a secret room.
They asked about the situation of the war. The sect master of Baimo Shengzong answered truthfully.
"The Ghost King Sect's attack was very fierce. They attacked almost every day. There were a few times when we almost could not hold on, but in the end, we did not disappoint and successfully defended the spirit vein."
The sect master of Baimo Shengzong looked very proud of being able to defend the spirit vein. However, Xiao Chen was still skeptical about this.
There were several times when they almost couldn't hold on, but in the end, they successfully held on. Was this because the Hundred Moo Holy Sect was too tenacious, or did the Ghost King Sect have some kind of purpose and did it on purpose?
Xiao Chen guessed in his heart, but he did not say it out loud. After all, the sect master of Baimo Shengzong had led his people to another fierce battle. It was already very difficult for him. Even if he did not deserve credit, he still deserved credit. Naturally, Xiao Chen would not discourage the sect master of Baimo Shengzong at this time.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen asked the question he was most concerned about, "Have you found anyone from the Night Ghost Pavilion?"
"Not at the moment. There have only been people from the Ghost King Sect. I think this might be the Ghost King Sect's own operation," the sect master of Baimo Shengzong replied.
