The Night Ghost Pavilion had openly declared war on the Sacred Palace without resorting to any underhanded means. Because of this, the Sacred Palace had no reason to reject the Night Ghost Pavilion's declaration of war.
This was the same logic as if the Night Ghost Pavilion had declared war but not declared war. Since war had been declared, if the Sacred Palace did not dare to accept the challenge, the Sacred Palace's prestige would be swept to the ground. The entire Human Race of the North Star Boundary would find it difficult to raise their heads again.
The Night Ghost Pavilion's declaration of war was passed around for everyone to read. In truth, there wasn't much substance in the declaration of war. Apart from a declaration of war, it was nothing more than a few harsh words.
The only thing that surprised everyone was that the Night Ghost Pavilion had actually sent out all of its Chosens and Saintesses. From the looks of it, it really did seem like they were going to fight the Sacred Palace head-on.
The Sacred Palace quickly made the decision to send out all of its Chosens and Saintesses. Xiao Chen and the other Chosens and Saintesses would all be mobilized.
Of course, it wasn't just Xiao Chen and the others. The disciples, deacons, elders, and Holy Sovereigns would also participate.
The Sacred Palace wasn't afraid of this battle, but they wouldn't underestimate the Night Ghost Pavilion either. As a quasi-saint sect that had stood tall in the North Star Boundary for countless years, the Night Ghost Pavilion's strength was unquestionable.
After confirming all of this, the Nine Heavens Saint asked Xiao Chen and the others, "Ancestor, now that we've declared war on the Night Ghost Pavilion, will Nine Heavens and the others help us?"
The Nine Heavens Saint's question was obviously a question that everyone was extremely concerned about. After all, the Sacred Palace was currently allied with Nine Heavens, the Tai Shen Sect, and the Liwang Sect. Since the Sacred Palace and the Night Ghost Pavilion had declared war on the Sacred Palace, would they help?
Xiao Sheng said indifferently, "We can only rely on ourselves for this battle. Nine Heavens and the others will only be responsible for stopping the Myriad Beast Valley and the Demonic Sky Hall."
Nine Heavens and the other two quasi-saint sects wouldn't help them. They would only be responsible for stopping the Myriad Beast Valley and the Demonic Sky Hall. Everyone nodded slightly and fell silent.
Everyone could guess the reason why Nine Heavens and the other two did not make a move.
First of all, this was the first battle between the Sacred Palace and the Night Ghost Pavilion. Both sides could be said to be probing each other and would not go all out from the start. This was not difficult to see from the expressions of the quasi-Saint supreme sovereigns on both sides. Whether it was Xiao Sheng's group of four or Blood Moon's group of three from the Night Ghost Pavilion, none of them had any intention of taking action.
Moreover, this battle was also the first time the Sacred Palace had truly displayed its strength in the North Star World, so it was understandable that the Nine Heavens and the other two parties did not participate. After all, the Sacred Palace had only risen to prominence for a short period of time, so it was hard to say just how strong they were.
Therefore, this was a battle for the Sacred Palace to display their strength. If they could win this battle well, the three quasi-saint sects would truly accept the Sacred Palace. On the other hand, if the Sacred Palace collapsed in this battle, then the Sacred Palace would be nothing more than a paper tiger in the eyes of the three quasi-saint sects.
At that time, Nine Heavens and the other two parties might have to reconsider whether they should continue to ally with the Sacred Palace or reconsider the division of benefits.
To put it bluntly, this battle was not only the Night Ghost Pavilion's test of the Sacred Palace, but also all the forces in the North Star World's test of the Sacred Palace. In this battle, whether or not the Sacred Palace had the qualifications to stand on equal footing with the other six quasi-saint sects would be most directly displayed.
After a round of discussion in the Sacred Palace, Xiao Sheng and the other patriarchs finally decided to set off for the Blood Demon Continent in three days. The Sacred Palace's ten Chosen and Saintesses would all participate in this battle. At the same time, the Sacred Sovereign would also send fifteen people along with tens of thousands of disciples, attendants, and elders.
After settling the matter, Xiao Chen and the others left the Sacred Palace and returned with Chen Ling, Long Qing, and the others. Along the way, the group split up. With the impending battle, the Chosen and Saintesses clearly had many things to prepare.
They returned to the main peak of the Dustless Sacred Palace alone. Just as Xiao Chen returned to his cave dwelling, Qin Shuirou and the others hurriedly found Xiao Chen.
Seeing that the four women's expressions were not too good, Xiao Chen asked with a smile, "What's wrong? You all look so flustered. Did something happen?"
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Qin Shuirou was the first to ask without beating around the bush, "Is the Sacred Palace about to declare war on the Night Ghost Pavilion?"
The four women actually knew that the Night Ghost Pavilion had declared war on the Sacred Palace. Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback. He had just returned from the Sacred Palace, but the four women had already received the news. For a moment, he was confused, but when he saw Tian Yue, Xiao Chen quickly understood.
As the number one Saintess of Nine Heavens, Tian Yue must have received the news from Nine Heavens.
In response to Qin Shuirou's question, Xiao Chen did not hide anything and nodded slightly in acknowledgment. However, Hundred Flower Fairy suddenly spoke.
"Husband, the supreme sovereign of Nine Heavens has sent news that Tian Yue is to return to Nine Heavens immediately."
Nine Heavens had ordered Tian Yue to return immediately. Xiao Chen looked at Tian Yue, and at the same time, Tian Yue met Xiao Chen's eyes with a complicated expression.
Tian Yue did not want to leave Xiao Chen, but she could not disobey Nine Heavens' orders. Xiao Chen had already guessed that Nine Heavens would send Tian Yue back, but he did not expect it to be so soon.
Xiao Chen had already guessed that Nine Heavens wouldn't allow Tian Yue to stay by his side, at least before the end of this battle, Nine Heavens wouldn't allow Tian Yue to return to the Sacred Palace.
Moreover, it was not an exaggeration to say that if the Sacred Palace lost this battle, Nine Heavens might not allow him to interact with Tian Yue in the future. After all, if the Sacred Palace was too weak, Nine Heavens would not need to pay attention to them at all.
To put it bluntly, this battle was a display of the Sacred Palace's strength, a battle that the other quasi-saint sects would pay attention to.
Xiao Chen sighed softly. He could not blame Nine Heavens for doing this, because if the positions of the Sacred Palace and Nine Heavens were switched, the Sacred Palace would probably do the same. After all, although the Sacred Palace was now famous, this was the first time they had clashed with a quasi-saint sect. No one knew if the Sacred Palace had the capital to stand on equal footing with the other six quasi-saint sects.
Xiao Chen got up and came to Tian Yue's side. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will personally go to Nine Heavens to find you after this battle."
Xiao Chen knew what Nine Heavens meant, and so did Tian Yue. He did not make things difficult for her because Xiao Chen knew that Tian Yue would not participate in this battle. Therefore, Xiao Chen chose to let Tian Yue return to Nine Heavens. Of course, after this battle, Xiao Chen would definitely go to Nine Heavens personally and completely resolve the matter between him and Tian Yue. At the very least, he would not let Nine Heavens stop him from being with Tian Yue.
