At the end of the first battle, the Holy Palace sent the hundreds of disciples who had lost their ability to fight back to the Holy Palace under Xiao Chen's orders.
A starship rose into the sky and quickly rushed into the starry sky. The Night Ghost Pavilion did not stop the Sacred Palace's starship because they had also sent out a starship to send the injured members back to the Night Ghost Pavilion.
In just one battle, the casualties on both sides could only be described as tragic. There were originally twenty thousand people, but after one battle, they had lost more than three thousand people. More than two thousand of them had died on the battlefield.
As if they had discussed this beforehand, Mo Xie and Xiao Chen did not attack again. The two sides were stuck in a stalemate.
Seven days passed, but there were no more battles. After seven days of rest, the injured on both sides had mostly recovered. On this day, Xiao Chen, Chen Ling, Long Qing, the Chosen, and the Saint Sovereigns of the Sacred Palace sat together in the Sacred Palace's flagship, discussing what to do next.
Sitting on the main seat, the Eighth Chosen, Hu Fei, was the first to speak. "Senior brother Xiao, everyone, what should we do next? Are we just going to waste our time here? "
Hu Fei was a battle maniac to begin with. After seven days of rest, almost everyone from the Sacred Palace had recovered, but they still had no intention of continuing the battle. Hence, Hu Fei asked impatiently.
Hearing Hu Fei's words, the Cyan Emperor said, "Junior brother, what do you think the goal of this battle is? Is it to wipe out the six Chosen of the Night Ghost Pavilion? "
This was the first battle between the Sacred Palace and the Night Ghost Pavilion. It could also be said that it was the first battle since the Sacred Palace's rise. Hu Fei was stunned when he heard the Cyan Emperor's words. He then shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
Hu Fei had never thought about the purpose of this battle. Seeing this, the Azure Supreme Thearch continued.
"Our goal in this battle is not to kill the six Holy Sons of the Night Ghost Pavilion. Instead, we want to show them the power of the Sacred Palace. The Sacred Palace has only been established for a short period of time, and there are countless pairs of eyes watching this battle. Therefore, our goal in this battle is not to kill the enemy, but to defeat the Night Ghost Pavilion.
Emperor Qing's explanation was correct. This was also the intention of Xiao Sheng and the other three Patriarchs. This battle was merely a demonstration of the Holy Palace's strength to the world. They did not need to kill many of their enemies. They only needed to win. Of course, they did not want to suffer too many casualties. After all, this was just the beginning. The Holy Palace did not want to fight too fiercely with the Night Ghosts Pavilion.
One must not forget that the Nine Heavens, the Liwang Sect, the Supreme Deity Sect, the Demonic Sky Hall and the Thousand Beasts Valley were still on the sidelines. They had yet to make a move, so if the Sacred Palace and the Night Ghost Pavilion were to suffer heavy losses, the Sacred Palace would have no choice but to step aside and rest. It was easy to imagine the benefits the Sacred Palace would reap in the end.
To put it bluntly, this battle was a battle of momentum, not a battle to the death. The Sacred Palace was not the only one who felt this way. The Night Ghost Pavilion felt the same way as well.
The Night Ghost Pavilion was also afraid of wasting too much of their strength on the Sacred Palace. If they did, the Night Ghost Pavilion would lose the right to speak in front of the Demonic Sky Hall and the Thousand Beasts Valley.
The most difficult part of this battle was that he had to make a name for himself, but he couldn't be used as a tool by others.
Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard the Cyan Emperor's words. Then, all eyes gathered on Xiao Chen.
As the first Chosen of the Sacred Palace, Xiao Chen was naturally the person with the highest status. He was also the main commander of this battle. Under everyone's gazes, Xiao Chen had been thinking about this problem for the past few days.
"The Cyan Emperor is right. We are not here to fight to the death with the Night Ghost Pavilion. I think we should think of a way to force the Night Ghost Pavilion to retreat. As long as the Night Ghost Pavilion voluntarily retreats, we will have achieved our goal. When that happens, the Sacred Palace will have a reason to drag the Supreme Deity Sect, the Nine Heavens and the Liwang Sect down with us.
Since they were in an alliance, they naturally could not let the Nine Heavens, the Supreme Deity Sect and the Liwang Sect watch from the sidelines. However, now was not the time. They had to wait until the end of this battle before the Sacred Palace would have a reason to make the three forces attack at the same time.
Of course, the three forces also had the same idea. They were also waiting for the result of this battle to see if the Sacred Palace had the right to be on equal footing with them.
Forcing the Night Ghost Pavilion to retreat would be considered a victory. Moreover, they had to rely on their own strength to force the Night Ghost Pavilion to retreat. This was the most important thing.
Xiao Chen also had an idea on how to force the Night Ghost Pavilion to retreat. Compared to the Night Ghost Pavilion, the Sacred Palace had an advantage. They had more Chosen and Saintesses than the Night Ghost Pavilion.
Among the ten Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Sacred Palace, only Xiao Chen, Chen Ling, Long Qing, and Chen Yu were on par with the Night Ghost Pavilion's Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, while the rest were weaker than the Night Ghost Pavilion's Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. Regardless, the Holy Palace had four more Holy Sons and Holy Daughters than the Night Ghost Pavilion.
This was the Sacred Palace's greatest advantage, and Xiao Chen planned to take advantage of it.
He explained his plan to everyone. It was actually very simple. According to Xiao Chen's plan, Xiao Chen and Chen Yu would not change in the next battle. They would still deal with Mo Xie and Hao Zong, while Chen Ling would deal with Yan Xiang.
However, the Fourth Chosen of the Night Ghost Pavilion, Xing Gang, would not be dealt with by Long Qing. Instead, Emperor Qing, Bai Yi and Quan Lan would work together to deal with him. As for Gu Changle, Hu Fei, Yun Chuan and Jiang Yue would deal with him.
Fu Jin would be Long Qing's opponent.
Xiao Chen's plan was to use the strong to defeat the weak.
Fu Jin was ranked last among the six Chosen of the Night Ghost Pavilion and was also the weakest. Long Qing's strength was about the same as Chen Ling and Xiao Chen's, so he was definitely stronger than Fu Jin.
In this way, Emperor Qing, Bai Yi and Quan Lan would hold back the Fourth Chosen of the Night Ghost Pavilion, while Long Qing would take the opportunity to deal with Fu Jin.
It would be best if he could kill Fu Jin directly. Of course, it was also fine if he could not kill him. As long as he could force Fu Jin into a corner, Mo Xie would hesitate to attack.
Xiao Chen was sure that once Fu Jin was in danger and the Night Ghost Pavilion did not have the ability to resolve the situation, Mo Xie would definitely choose to retreat. The reason was simple: Mo Xie would not allow Fu Jin to die in the first battle.
Any Chosen of the Chosen of the Secondary Sage Sect was a priceless treasure. Therefore, once Fu Jin was in danger, the Night Ghost Pavilion would definitely choose to retreat.
Of course, anything was possible. Xiao Chen had also considered the possibility that Mo Xie would not retreat. If that was the case, it would be even better. Long Qing would be able to take the opportunity to severely injure or even kill Fu Jin. Killing a Chosen of the Chosen of the Night Ghost Pavilion would be a huge blow. It would definitely be enough to cause them pain.
