He didn't stop Tian Yue from leaving. Although Xiao Chen was confident that Tian Yue would stay no matter how difficult it was, Xiao Chen also knew that Tian Yue would be put in a difficult position if he did so.
Moreover, even if he forced Tian Yue to stay by his side, what could he do? The final outcome would still depend on the outcome of this battle. If the Sacred Palace didn't display enough strength in this battle, Nine Heavens would still forcibly take Tian Yue away.
Tian Yue had a complicated expression when she heard Xiao Chen's words. "But … but …"
Tian Yue didn't want to leave, especially at a time like this. Facing Tian Yue's dilemma, Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will return to Nine Heavens after this battle. I will go back with you and settle our matters."
Although Xiao Chen and Tian Yue had confirmed their relationship, Nine Heavens and Tian Yue's family didn't acknowledge it. Of course, the Sacred Palace didn't acknowledge their relationship either, which was why Xiao Chen allowed Tian Yue to return to Nine Heavens.
Tian Yue was extremely unwilling, but under Xiao Chen's persuasion and unyielding attitude, she ultimately chose to return to Nine Heavens. This was naturally also because Tian Yue trusted Xiao Chen and believed that he would come to Nine Heavens to look for her.
After personally sending Tian Yue away, the Sacred Palace, Nine Heavens, Supreme God Sect, and Liwang Sect had built inter-realm transmission matrices with each other. Therefore, it was very convenient for them to travel back and forth. They no longer needed to take spaceships like before.
After personally sending Tian Yue into the transmission matrices and watching her disappear, Gu Lingyao asked in disappointment on the way back to the cave residence. "Is Big Brother Xiao Chen sad that Big Sister Tian Yue is gone?"
Among the four girls, Tian Yue had the best relationship with Gu Lingyao. Both of them had lively personalities and naturally got along well with each other. After hearing Gu Lingyao's words, Xiao Chen lovingly rubbed her head and smiled.
"Don't worry, I will bring her back soon. When the time comes, no one will be able to stop us. Besides …"
At this point, Xiao Chen looked at Qin Shuirou and Flower Fairy and paused for a moment before continuing.
"Also, I want to give you a grand wedding. This is what I've always owed you."
Xiao Chen had only held a true wedding with Qin Shuirou before. However, the scale of that wedding had been too small. It had always been Xiao Chen's wish to give the four girls a proper wedding. Now that the Sacred Palace was on the rise and they had won the first battle against the Night Ghost Pavilion, Xiao Chen's status would be enough to hold an unprecedented wedding.
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Qin Shuirou, Flower Fairy, and Gu Lingyao were all touched. As women, how could they not want such a wedding? Unfortunately, they had been unable to truly settle down, so this matter had been delayed time and time again.
In addition to the current situation, even though the three girls had always hoped for such a wedding, they had never said it out loud, nor did they want to add any pressure to Xiao Chen.
As the first Chosen of the Sacred Palace, Xiao Chen's shoulders were not only burdened by the three of them, but also the entire Sacred Palace and even the entire human race of the North Star Boundary.
Xiao Chen laughed heartily when he saw how touched the three women were. They were all holding back their tears and not saying a word. He pulled the three women into his arms and the four of them walked toward the Wuchen Temple together.
Xiao Chen wanted to give the four girls an explanation, but now was not the time to think about it. In the next two days, Xiao Chen arranged the affairs of the Wuchen Sacred Hall and selected five thousand of the most elite disciples, deacons, and elders of the Wuchen Sacred Hall. These people were going to go to the Blood Demon Continent to participate in the great war.
The Sacred Palace had ten great sacred halls, and each sacred hall would send five thousand people to participate in this battle. The ten great sacred halls would send a total of fifty thousand people.
Although the number did not seem large, they were definitely the best of the best.
Over the next two days, the ten great sacred halls of the Sacred Palace were actively making preparations. At the same time, various talismans and pills needed for the battle were continuously transported onto the starships.
On the third day, it was time for everyone to set off. 50,000 disciples, deacons, and elders gathered in the square of the Sacred Palace, led by Xiao Chen and the other Sons and Daughters of the Sacred Palace. Behind them, there were more than a dozen Saint Venerables.
Such a lineup was indeed terrifying. In the North Star Boundary, such a force could not be compared to any other continent or force except for the Quasi Saint Sect.
With the battle imminent, everyone's eyes flashed with a strong fighting spirit. At the same time, Xiao Sheng and the other three patriarchs also personally appeared before the departure. Without any superfluous words, the four patriarchs said in a deep voice.
"This battle will be the first real battle since the establishment of the Sacred Palace. Victory or defeat will determine life and death, so there is nothing more to say. Everyone, give it your all. I believe that the Sacred Palace will win this battle."
Hearing Xiao Sheng and the other four patriarchs' words, everyone shouted in unison. "Victory, victory …"
The Sacred Palace accepted the Night Ghost Pavilion's declaration of war. Three days later, the Sacred Palace army set off from the Tianchen Continent and headed straight for the Blood Demon Continent.
The Sacred Palace had no intention of hiding their actions. Therefore, the various clans and major forces in the North Star Boundary received the news as soon as possible.
The first battle between the Sacred Palace and the Night Ghost Pavilion was naturally the focus of everyone's attention. This was the first real battle between the North Star Boundary's Quasi Saint Sects in tens of thousands of years.
On the surface, the North Star Boundary had been at peace for tens of thousands of years, but at this moment, the last piece of cloth was finally removed. The two great Quasi Saint Sects were about to start a real battle on the Blood Demon Continent.
Everyone was not only paying attention to the Sacred Palace's movements, but also to the Night Ghost Pavilion's. There was already news that the Night Ghost Pavilion's Chosens and Saintesses had also gathered. Although the Night Ghost Pavilion did not have as many Chosens and Saintesses as the Sacred Palace — only six — the Night Ghost Pavilion's Chosens and Saintesses had been famous for a long time. In terms of strength and reputation, the Chosens and Saintesses of the Sacred Palace could not compare to them.
Although the Sacred Palace's ten Chosens and Saintesses were well-known, the only one who was truly accepted by the world was Xiao Chen.
After all, in the past few years, Xiao Chen had done several sensational things as the first Chosen of the Sacred Palace. In particular, his recent massacre of the Hua Gui Continent was still fresh in everyone's minds.
However, other than Xiao Chen, the other Chosens and Saintesses of the Sacred Palace paled in comparison. Many people had never even seen the Chosens and Saintesses of the Sacred Palace and had never even heard of their deeds.
Therefore, because of the disparity in reputation between the Chosens and Saintesses of the Night Ghost Pavilion, most people believed that even though the Night Ghost Pavilion only had six Chosens and Saintesses, the outcome of the battle was still uncertain. Whether the Sacred Palace could win this battle was still a big question mark.
