The three great sovereigns of the Night Ghost Pavilion had decided to declare war on the Sacred Palace at the same time. This was obviously much earlier than the Sacred Palace had expected.
Although the two sides were at daggers drawn, it wasn't easy to prepare for a huge battle. Originally, both sides thought that it would take at least a few years for such a huge battle to break out. But now, the Night Ghost Pavilion could no longer wait.
Xiao Chen's massacre of the Ghost Race had forced the Night Ghost Pavilion to bare its fangs and declare war on the Sacred Palace.
This battle wasn't just a small skirmish like before. This was the first real battle between the two great quasi-sage sects.
The significance of this battle was no longer as simple as victory or defeat. It could be said that once this battle broke out, the situation in the North Star Boundary would completely change.
The seven great quasi-sage sects and the two great alliances would very likely break off completely because of this battle. The clouds of suspicion that had been lingering in the air above the North Star Boundary would also be completely ignited.
It could be said that besides the outcome of this battle, it was also the main culprit that would tear off the seven great quasi-sage sects of the North Star Boundary.
Perhaps it was because they knew the significance of this battle that the Chosen of the Night Ghost Pavilion had been so shocked when they received the great sovereigns' orders. They hadn't expected the great sovereigns to make such a decision.
But no matter what, this battle was unavoidable because the Night Ghost Pavilion's declaration of war was already on its way to the Sacred Palace.
For the time being, they didn't know that the Night Ghost Pavilion had already made preparations for war. After massacring the Hua Gui Continent, Xiao Chen ignored the shock of the various forces in the North Star Boundary and returned to the Sacred Palace with his people.
This trip wasn't a good memory for Xiao Chen. After all, so many people from the Human Race had died. The tragic scene was still fresh in Xiao Chen's mind.
After returning to the Sacred Palace, the Night Ghost Pavilion chose to remain silent on this matter. They didn't express any stance on Xiao Chen's massacre of the Hua Gui Continent. Xiao Chen didn't think that the Night Ghost Pavilion had given in.
In the cave, Xiao Chen, who had returned for a few days, was sitting in the courtyard with Chen Ling and Long Qing, discussing the current situation.
Chen Ling calmly looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Third Brother, the Night Ghost Pavilion has gone silent. What do you think?"
Millions of ghosts had died at the hands of humans, but the Night Ghost Pavilion hadn't said anything. This was strange. After hearing Chen Ling's words, Xiao Chen took a sip of tea.
"This is not good news. Massacring the entire Hua Gui Continent would not scare the Night Ghost Pavilion. On the contrary, it would only anger them. Therefore, I believe that the Night Ghost Pavilion is making an important decision."
Xiao Chen was not so naive as to think that the Night Ghost Pavilion's silence was a sign of weakness. In fact, this silence was more like the calm before the storm.
Chen Ling completely agreed with Xiao Chen's idea. Just as he finished speaking, a Holy Venerate walked in and quickly arrived before the three of them. He did not care about anything else and spoke bluntly.
"The Patriarch has summoned us to the Sacred Hall for a meeting."
Xiao Sheng and the others had summoned all the Holy Venerates, Chosens, and Saintesses to the Sacred Hall for a meeting. When they heard the Holy Venerate's words, Xiao Chen and the others looked at each other and saw some clues in each other's eyes. However, they didn't say anything and followed the Holy Venerate to the Sacred Hall.
They didn't encounter any delays along the way. When Xiao Chen and the others arrived at the Sacred Hall, there were already dozens of people gathered inside. After finding their seats, the Holy Venerates of the Sacred Palace, as well as the ten Chosens and Saintesses, were all present. It was at this moment that Xiao Sheng, Randeng, Bing Lian, Mengjie, and the other Patriarchs appeared on the main stage.
When the four Patriarchs appeared, everyone bowed. When he saw this, Xiao Sheng waved his hand and gestured for everyone to take a seat. Then, he spoke in an indifferent voice.
"Just now, the Night Ghost Pavilion announced that all forces in the North Star Field have declared war on the Sacred Palace. They also stated that the first battle will take place on the Blood Demon Continent."
Although Xiao Sheng's voice was calm, it was like a clap of thunder in everyone's ears. The Night Ghost Pavilion had declared war on the Sacred Palace.
Everyone present was stunned. Although they knew that the Sacred Palace and the Night Ghost Pavilion would fight, they didn't expect it to come so soon. The Sacred Palace had originally planned to wait until they were fully prepared before declaring war on the Night Ghost Pavilion. But now that the Night Ghost Pavilion had made the first move, the Sacred Palace naturally had to respond.
Everyone's eyes darted around, clearly pondering and weighing the pros and cons in their hearts. When he saw this, Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "First Holy Venerate, the Holy Venerate.
How do you think the Sacred Palace should respond to the Night Ghost Pavilion's declaration of war? "
When he heard this, Xiao Chen stood up and replied, "Ancestor, there is nothing to worry about. Since the Night Ghost Pavilion has already declared war, the Sacred Palace has no choice but to accept the challenge."
Although it wasn't the best time to declare war, since the Sacred Palace wasn't fully prepared for this battle, the Night Ghost Pavilion was the same. Since the Night Ghost Pavilion had chosen to declare war now, it was likely that they had no choice but to do so.
Since that was the case, the Sacred Palace naturally had no reason to run away. Furthermore, since the Night Ghost Pavilion had already declared war, no matter how the Sacred Palace responded, the Night Ghost Pavilion would definitely not back down.
One had to know that a war between two quasi-Saint Venerate Sects wasn't as simple as a fight between two people.
Since the Night Ghost Pavilion had declared war on the Sacred Palace, there was no way they were bluffing. There had to be a battle. If a quasi-Saint Sect went back on its word after declaring war, it would be akin to slapping itself in the face. In the future, the Sacred Palace would no longer have any face in the North Star Field.
Therefore, the Sacred Palace had no choice but to accept the Night Ghost Pavilion's declaration of war.
Following Xiao Chen's words, the rest of the crowd also stood up and spoke.
"Senior brother Xiao is right. Since the Night Ghost Pavilion has already declared war, why should the Sacred Palace be afraid? We should accept the challenge," said the sixth Holy Son, Bai Yi.
"That's right. Even though the war has started much earlier than we expected, the arrow is already nocked on the bow. We have no choice but to release it. Ancestor, please understand," said the ninth Holy Daughter, Yun Chuan.
"That's right. Why should the Sacred Palace be afraid of this battle? Let's fight," said the various Holy Venerates.
Everyone was in favor of accepting the challenge. Seeing this, Xiao Sheng and the other three nodded slightly. Then, Xiao Sheng said, "I understand your intentions.
"I understand everyone's intentions. Since that's the case, let's fight. This is the battle where the Holy Palace will truly rise. If we win, the Holy Palace will truly be able to gain a firm foothold in the North Star Field and stand on equal footing with the other quasi-sage sects. The original disadvantage of lacking a foundation will also no longer exist. This is the letter of challenge sent by the Night Ghost Pavilion.
