The news of the four great sects opening their secret zones to the public naturally caused a commotion, especially to the ten Chosen and Chosen of the Sacred Palace. After all, apart from Xiao Chen, none of them had ever entered a secret zone before. Now that they had such an opportunity, they were naturally excited.
After listening to Xiao Sheng, Xiao Chen chose the Thousand Beast Pool, and so did Long Qing. As for Chen Ling, he chose the secret zone of the Supreme Divine Sect.
The Chosen and Chosen of the five great sects — Sacred Palace, Nine Heavens, Liwang Sect, Supreme Divine Sect, and Myriad Beast Valley — all chose the secret zones they wanted the most. The Chosen and Chosen of the Liwang Sect naturally chose the Sky Thunder Realm of Nine Heavens without a doubt. This was as expected.
They had already agreed to open the secret zones five days later. Xiao Chen and Long Qing stayed in the Myriad Beast Valley, and Jiao Yang had been released long ago. After this incident, Jiao Yang had learned his lesson and didn't dare to cause trouble for Xiao Chen and the others anymore. He clearly knew that his strength was no different from paper in front of Long Qing, so he obediently chose to swallow his anger.
With the five great sects opening their secret zones to the public, the Myriad Beast Valley's defection naturally couldn't be concealed.
Originally, the Night Ghost Pavilion, Demonic Sky Hall, and Myriad Beast Valley's alliance could deal with the four great sects of the Sacred Palace. However, with the Myriad Beast Valley's defection, only the Night Ghost Pavilion and Demonic Sky Hall were left. They naturally couldn't contend against the five great sects of the Sacred Palace.
Everyone in the Night Ghost Pavilion panicked when they learned of the Myriad Beast Valley's defection. Even the three great quasi-saint supreme sovereigns were extremely solemn.
In the main hall of the Night Ghost Pavilion, the Blood Moon Great Sovereign and the other two Great Sovereigns of the Night Ghost Pavilion were gathered together. The Blood Moon Great Sovereign and the other two Great Sovereigns were looking at an elder sitting in the main seat. This elder was the first Great Sovereign of the Night Ghost Pavilion, and he had the cultivation of the Great Completion of the Quasi-Saint Realm.
"The Myriad Beasts Valley has changed sides," the Night Ghost Pavilion's number one Great Venerate said in a hoarse voice, his expression unchanged.
Just like the other ghosts, the Night Ghost Pavilion's First Sovereign had fair skin and a thin body. Perhaps it was because of his age, but his skin was full of wrinkles that crisscrossed with each other. At first glance, he gave off the feeling that he was about to die.
However, in the Night Ghost Pavilion, or rather, in the entire North Star Realm, no one dared to underestimate this dying old man, including the number one Venerables of the other quasi-sage sects.
The reason was simple. The first Great Venerate of the Night Ghost Pavilion was the oldest Great Venerate that was still alive. People like the first Great Venerate of the Valley of Beasts were a generation younger than the first Great Venerate of the Night Ghost Pavilion.
After living for such a long time, the cultivation of the Night Ghost Pavilion's First Great Sage had long reached the end of the Quasi-saint Realm. Unfortunately, he had not been able to break through to the Great Saint Realm. Moreover, as time passed, he had lost the possibility of breaking through to the Great Saint Realm.
Even so, if one were to talk about who was the strongest person in the North Star Realm, the first Great Venerate of the Night Ghost Pavilion was definitely the strongest person.
Blood Moon, who was dressed in a black robe, sat cross-legged on the main seat. When he heard the old man's words, he nodded and replied, "Yes, the news has been confirmed. The Myriad Beasts Valley has indeed changed sides."
"What about the Demonic Sky Palace? Are they preparing to watch the fire burn across the river? "the old man asked.
Since the Myriad Beasts Valley had changed sides, the Demonic Sky Palace would definitely be affected. Knowing that they could not win, the Demonic Sky Palace would most likely draw a line with the Night Ghost Pavilion in order to protect themselves.
There was no trace of panic in the old man's eyes. Blood Moon replied, "We haven't received any news yet. The Demonic Sky Palace hasn't made any statements either."
The Night Ghost Pavilion chose to remain silent for the time being. When the old man heard this, he slowly opened his eyes. Two rays of cold light shot out from his turbid eyes.
The situation in the North Star Realm could be said to be completely clear. The Night Ghost Pavilion's defeat was a foregone conclusion.
It was not that they had not thought of roping in the Myriad Beasts Valley, but it was obviously impossible because the Night Ghost Pavilion did not have what the Myriad Beasts Valley needed.
They did not have any bargaining chips in their hands, so naturally, they did not have the capital to rope them in. Faced with a hopeless situation, the first Great Venerate of the Night Ghost Pavilion remained calm. However, there was a trace of determination in his voice.
"Do you still remember the limit of the horizon that I told you about?"
The limit of the horizon was the end of the North Star Realm. No one knew where it led to. Moreover, people who were above the Saint Realm could not pass through it.
When they heard the old man mention the limit of the horizon, Blood Moon and the other Great Venerate's expressions changed slightly. It was obvious that they had guessed the old man's thoughts.
As expected, the old man said faintly, "The Night Ghost Pavilion has lost. Send all the talented disciples out of the North Star Realm. As for whether they can survive, it is up to them."
The old man knew that the Night Ghost Pavilion's defeat was irreversible. At the last moment, the old man wanted to preserve the last bit of the Night Ghost Pavilion.
Although he did not know what the other side of the limit of the horizon was like, compared to staying in the North Star Realm and being killed, leaving the North Star Realm through the limit of the horizon was undoubtedly the best choice. At least there was still a chance of survival.
Hearing the old man's words, Blood Moon and the other Great Venerate of the Night Ghost Pavilion could not help but speak up. "The limit of the horizon is too mysterious. It is not completely impossible for us to fight to the death."
Obviously, they did not agree with the old man's decision. However, the old man was not moved at all.
"There is no such thing as eternal prosperity in this world. No matter how strong a sect or force is, there will be a day when it will be destroyed. Just like those Great Saint sects in the ancient times. They were strong enough to have a Great Saint overseeing them, right? But in the end, they were still destroyed in the long river of time. "
"As the pillar of a sect, we must recognize the situation at all times. Now that the Night Ghost Pavilion has no chance of winning, sending some people out can be considered as a way to preserve the Night Ghost Pavilion."
In the face of imminent defeat and destruction, the old man was very calm. After living for so many years, he did not dare to say that he had seen through life and death, but at least he was as calm as an ancient well. In the face of death, he did not waver in the slightest.
Blood Moon and the other Great Venerate fell silent when they heard the old man's words. After a while, they stood up and bowed, then left to make preparations.
The Night Ghost Pavilion was bound to lose in the Sacred Palace's five-party alliance, even with the help of the Demonic Sky Hall. Moreover, would the Demonic Sky Hall still stand on the Night Ghost Pavilion's side? Obviously, it was impossible. The people of the Demonic Sky Hall were not fools. They would not die with the Night Ghost Pavilion.
After Blood Moon and the other Great Venerate left, only the old man was left in the hall. The light in his eyes slowly dissipated. The old man seemed to have lost his vitality, but he still murmured softly.
"It seems that there is no hope for me to reach the Great Saint realm in this lifetime."
