Xiao Chen had considered both scenarios. Whether Mo Xie retreated or not wouldn't affect the Sacred Palace much. Of course, there was one thing that Xiao Chen didn't mention. If Mo Xie didn't retreat, even if Chang Qing managed to kill Fu Jin, the Sacred Palace would still suffer losses.
According to Xiao Chen's calculations, even if the three emperors worked together, they would only be able to hold their own against Xing Gang. If the battle dragged on for too long, the three emperors would be in danger. At that time, one of them might even be killed by Xing Gang.
In other words, if Mo Xie didn't choose to retreat, the Sacred Palace and the Night Ghost Pavilion would be faced with a life-for-life situation. The Night Ghost Pavilion and the Sacred Palace would both lose a Chosen.
However, the Holy Palace would definitely benefit from such an exchange. After all, the Holy Palace had a large number of Holy Sons and Holy Daughters. The Holy Palace still had nine Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, but the Night Ghost Pavilion only had five. It was obvious who was the winner and who was the loser.
However, Xiao Chen did not want to see such a situation happen. Although it was a win-win situation for the Sacred Palace, Xiao Chen still did not want to see any of the Sacred Palace's Chosen get hurt. After all, everyone had been Sacred Palace's Chosen and Chosen all these years, so it was natural that they had a deep bond with each other.
Of course, this was only Xiao Chen's opinion. The final outcome would depend on Mo Xie. In Xiao Chen's opinion, as long as Mo Xie wasn't a fool, he wouldn't choose to trade his life for a life. He should know that the life of a Chosen of the Night Ghost Pavilion was much more precious than the life of a Chosen of the Sacred Palace.
After a moment of silence, everyone agreed with Xiao Chen's plan. It was the only feasible plan at the moment.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Xiao Chen made his decision. "Alright, since that's the case, the battle will begin tomorrow. Everyone, go and prepare."
The battle would begin tomorrow. Hearing this, everyone dispersed. However, Xiao Chen called out to the Qing Emperor, Bai Yi, and Quan Lan.
After everyone had left, Xiao Chen called out to the three of them. Bai Yi asked curiously, "Senior brother, is there something you need?"
"Sit down and talk." Upon hearing Bai Yi's words, Xiao Chen gestured for the three of them to take a seat. Once the three of them were seated, Xiao Chen continued.
"In this battle, the three of you are responsible for dealing with Xing Gang. Do you know how dangerous it is?"
He had no intention of hiding it. After all, there were some things that the three of them needed to prepare in advance. That way, even if something unexpected happened, the three of them would not panic. Their chances of survival would also be higher.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, the Qing Emperor was the first to react. "Senior Brother, are you afraid that Mo Xie will not be moved and will fight to the death?"
The Qing Emperor understood Xiao Chen's meaning. Seeing this, Xiao Chen nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, if Mo Xie chooses to fight to the death, the three of you will be in the most danger. As the Fourth Chosen of the Night Ghost Pavilion, Xing Gang's strength is far greater than Fu Jin's. Even if the three of you work together, you will only be able to delay him. However, as time goes on, the situation will become extremely dangerous for the three of you. You must be mentally prepared for this."
Xiao Chen's words were very tactful, and the three of them understood what Xiao Chen meant.
If Mo Xie chose to fight to the death, at least one of the three of them would die at Xing Gang's hands.
It could be said that the three of them were in the most danger in this plan. However, in response, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Senior Brother is underestimating us. Even if the three of us can't defeat Xing Gang, we should be able to protect ourselves. Senior Brother, don't forget that we are also Chosen of the Sacred Palace. How can we be killed so easily?"
The three of them did not show the slightest bit of fear. Even if there was danger, the three of them did not choose to retreat. Hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded and said, "It's good to have confidence, but you still need to be fully prepared. You must prepare the talismans and pills. Every second you can delay him increases your chances of survival. As long as you can hold on until Second Sister returns, the danger will naturally be resolved."
Xiao Chen was naturally happy that the three of them were willing to take the risk. However, he still reminded them to be fully prepared. The more prepared they were, the higher their chances of survival.
The three of them nodded in agreement when they heard Xiao Chen's words. Then, the four of them dispersed and began to prepare for tomorrow's battle.
At night, Xiao Chen did not cultivate because of tomorrow's battle. Instead, he went to the deck alone and looked in the direction of the Night Ghost Pavilion.
Xiao Chen was almost certain that this plan would succeed. However, Xiao Chen did not wish to see anything happen to any of the ten Chosen of the Sacred Palace.
"I'm still not strong enough. If I could directly kill Mo Xie, this battle would not be so difficult."
He lamented that he was still not strong enough. Even though Xiao Chen had become strong enough to contend with Mo Xie in a few short years, it was still very difficult to defeat him. Xiao Chen felt that it was still not enough, far from enough.
However, there was no other way. Cultivation was not something that could be done just because one wanted to. Many times, it required time, sweat, and opportunities. Only then would one be able to continuously improve.
The fact that Xiao Chen was able to reach such heights in such a short period of time and possess the strength to contend with Mo Xie was already very exaggerated.
The night wind blew past, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the air. It did not make one feel comfortable at all.
After standing on the deck for a while, Xiao Chen turned around and returned to his room. The night passed in silence. Early the next morning, according to plan, the Sacred Palace people flew out of the starship and quickly flew into the sky.
After the battle seven days ago, the original twenty thousand people had been reduced to just over ten thousand. Standing in the air, the Night Ghost Pavilion did not react hastily when they sensed the Sacred Palace's movements. In just a few breaths' time, the Night Ghost Pavilion experts flew out of the starship.
The two sides stood in the air. This action excited the spies from the various sects who were still waiting in the surroundings. They had already waited for seven days, and it seemed that a great battle would break out between the two sides today.
As usual, Xiao Chen and Mo Xie were leading their teams. The two stood at the front of their respective teams and stared at each other. Mo Xie coldly shouted, "Xiao Chen, today, I will bury everyone from your Sacred Palace here."
"Who doesn't know how to talk big? Just do it. Kill." Xiao Chen had no intention of arguing with Mo Xie. With a command, the Sacred Palace experts charged out. Mo Xie also shouted when he saw this.
"You're courting death. Kill."
The two sides clashed once again. According to the plan, Xiao Chen, Chen Yu, and Chen Ling took the initiative to face off against Mo Xie, Hao Zong, and Yan Xiang.
