Xiao Chen could sense many powerful auras approaching. There was no doubt that these were the Sacred Palace's reinforcements. Xiao Chen relaxed for a moment, no longer feeling nervous.
Looks like they made it in time. As soon as Xiao Chen sensed the Sacred Palace's auras rapidly approaching, Mo Xie naturally sensed them as well. Mo Xie's expression darkened as he gritted his teeth.
"Sacred Palace's reinforcements? How did they get here so quickly? Did the Sacred Palace also construct a trans-boundary teleportation formation on the Bai Mo Continent? "
According to Mo Xie's previous calculations, even if Xiao Chen sent a message back to the Sacred Palace, it would take at least half a month for them to arrive on the Bai Mo Continent. Half a month! By the time the Sacred Palace's reinforcements arrived, it would already be too late.
He originally thought that there would be enough time to deal with Xiao Chen and the others, but who would have thought that the Sacred Palace's reinforcements would arrive in just a little over a day? There was only one possibility: the Sacred Palace also had a trans-boundary teleportation formation on the Bai Mo Continent.
When he thought of this, Mo Xie suddenly realized a very terrifying problem. Had Xiao Chen and the others really fallen for the Night Ghost Pavilion's trap and been trapped here?
He subconsciously looked towards Xiao Chen, only to see a relieved smile on Xiao Chen's face. Seeing this, Mo Xie was immediately certain that this was all part of Xiao Chen's plan.
"Damn it, this guy already guessed that the Night Ghost Pavilion would surround and kill them again, so he purposely lured us here so that the Sacred Palace would surround and kill us instead."
There was no doubt that the Sacred Palace's reinforcements this time were definitely strong enough to easily suppress the Night Ghost Pavilion because Xiao Chen was well aware of how many forces the Night Ghost Pavilion had deployed on the Bai Mo Continent. As such, the Sacred Palace could definitely deal with the right situation.
When he thought of how Xiao Chen planned to surround and kill all of them on the Bai Mo Continent, Mo Xie felt cold sweat trickle down his back. What a big appetite.
There was no way he would fight the Sacred Palace's reinforcements head on. After a brief moment of astonishment, Mo Xie quickly regained his senses and shouted to the surrounding Night Ghost Pavilion experts.
"Quick, let's go. We've been tricked."
Xiao Chen's plan to beat Mo Xie at his own game was indeed ingenious. Mo Xie had not expected this at all. At this time, Mo Xie decisively gave the order to retreat. The cultivators of the Night Ghost Pavilion did not hesitate because they could also feel the terrifying auras rapidly approaching.
As soon as Mo Xie finished speaking, the members of the Night Ghost Pavilion prepared to retreat. Inside the Spirit Vein City, Xiao Chen frowned. He had not expected Mo Xie to be so decisive and choose to retreat without any hesitation.
Mo Xie was a cautious person, so it wasn't strange for him to make such a decision. But now, how could Xiao Chen just watch Mo Xie leave like this? If he let Mo Xie leave like this, then all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen said to Quan Lan without hesitation, "Junior Sister, close the array formation. Let's go out and hold them back."
Close the array? Take the initiative to attack? Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Quan Lan was stunned. Although the Sacred Palace's reinforcements had arrived, they were still some distance away. If they took the initiative to attack now, the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. It was very likely that there would be many casualties.
Xiao Chen naturally understood this principle, but there was no other way. The reinforcements led by Randeng had not arrived yet. If they did not take the initiative to attack, Mo Xie and the others might escape.
They were only one step away. It would be a pity if they let Mo Xie and the others escape.
They could not let all their previous efforts go to waste. Therefore, although he knew that taking the initiative to attack would result in heavy losses, Xiao Chen still said to Quan Lan without hesitation.
"Junior Sister, close the array formation. We have to hold them back. We can't let them leave like this."
Seeing Xiao Chen's determination, Quan Lan did not say anything else and immediately closed the array formation. At the same time, Xiao Chen shouted to everyone present, including the people from the Bai Mo Continent.
"Everyone, the reinforcements from the Sacred Palace have arrived. They will be able to kill the people from the Night Ghost Pavilion in a matter of moments. Now that the Night Ghost Pavilion wants to escape, we only need to delay them for a moment. Everyone, charge forward and hold the Night Ghost Pavilion down."
There were about two thousand cultivators in the Spirit Vein City. Among them, there were three Saints and five Half-Saints. As for the other cultivators below them, the number was different.
Such a force naturally did not have any advantage against the Night Ghost Pavilion. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they would be defeated in one blow.
However, Xiao Chen's goal was not to fight to the death with the Night Ghost Pavilion, but to hold them back until the Sacred Palace's reinforcements arrived.
Following Xiao Chen's shout, Xiao Chen took the lead and rushed out. Seeing this, Quan Lan, Tian Yue, and Qin Shuirou followed closely behind.
Mo Xie wanted to escape, but Xiao Chen led the people from the Spirit Vein City and rushed out. As they rushed towards Mo Xie, Xiao Chen shouted.
"Mo Xie, what's wrong? Are you going to run away so pathetically? The first Holy Son of the Night Ghost Pavilion is in such a sorry state. Don't you think it's embarrassing? "
Xiao Chen deliberately provoked Mo Xie with his words. If it were any other Holy Son, they would have already turned around and fought. After all, the first Holy Sons of the North Star Field were all extremely arrogant.
However, Xiao Chen was facing Mo Xie. This was a guy who would do anything to achieve his goals. Therefore, Mo Xie was unmoved by Xiao Chen's provocation. Although his expression was dark, Mo Xie had no intention of turning around. At the same time, he said to the people beside him.
"Some of you, go and stop them. The rest of you, retreat to the Night Ghost Pavilion."
Mo Xie ignored Xiao Chen. At the same time, he was prepared to leave a group of people behind to cover the retreat.
Everyone knew what he meant by covering the retreat. It was tantamount to suicide, but there was no other way. In the current situation, Mo Xie could only choose to sacrifice a small number of people to ensure the safety of the majority.
Two Saints of the Night Ghost Pavilion, five Half-Saints, and more than ten Dao Emperors and Dao Kings left the group. They were willing to stay behind to cover the retreat.
These people were definitely going to die. Once the reinforcements from the Sacred Palace arrived, they would definitely die. However, Mo Xie had no other choice. He could only do this.
On the other hand, Xiao Chen, who was chasing after them, panicked when he saw that Mo Xie was willing to give up the lives of these people to cover the retreat. He shouted again.
"Mo Xie, you coward. Don't you dare to fight fair and square?"
"Hmph, Xiao Chen, I'll remember what happened today. I'll definitely repay you double in the future." Not only did Mo Xie have no intention of stopping, he even sped up. Soon, he led the Night Ghost Pavilion experts and fled towards Great Peak City. At the same time, Xiao Chen's group encountered the Night Ghost Pavilion experts who were responsible for covering the retreat. Both sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
