What Bai Qiuyue feared the most was that the Sacred Palace faction would fight and retreat at the same time. After all, the Sacred Palace faction didn't have many people to begin with, and all of them were monstrous geniuses. None of them were weak. In that case, the Sacred Palace faction would be able to fight like ghosts, and Bai Qiuyue would have a hard time catching them.
There was only one way for Bai Qiuyue to successfully capture the Sacred Palace faction, and that was to surround them and cut off all their escape routes.
Bai Qiuyue would definitely use the method of encirclement. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen suddenly had an extremely risky idea, and that was to kill his way back and take the initiative to attack Bai Qiuyue.
If Bai Qiuyue wanted to surround them, he would definitely send out the majority of the main faction disciples. As such, the defensive force around Bai Qiuyue would be the weakest. According to Xiao Chen's estimation, Bai Qiuyue would at most leave Zhu Mujue by his side. As for the others, he would definitely be sent out to search for them.
It had to be said that Xiao Chen's guess was completely correct. At this moment, Bai Qiuyue indeed only had Zhu Mujue and nearly a hundred main faction disciples by his side. As for the others, they had naturally been sent out by Bai Qiuyue to search for the Sacred Palace faction.
Bai Qiuyue's idea was to force the Sacred Palace faction into the valley and then launch a fatal attack there. However, he had clearly neglected one point, and that was that Bai Qiuyue's own defense would be very weak. This was because there were almost no other experts around him besides Zhu Mujue, and Bai Qiuyue's own strength was not considered strong. If Xiao Chen led the Sacred Palace faction to attack Bai Qiuyue at this time, the consequences were obvious.
Zhu Mujue and nearly a hundred main faction disciples were obviously unable to guarantee Bai Qiuyue's safety.
Bai Qiuyue had neglected this point, or rather, he had never believed that Xiao Chen would dare to take the initiative to attack him because wouldn't that be tantamount to walking right into a trap?
Although the Sacred Palace faction was full of monsters, there were too few of them after all. If they wanted to fight the main faction head-on, they would definitely lose. So why would Xiao Chen take the initiative to come after him?
It was precisely because of this that Bai Qiuyue had never considered the issue of her own safety. In other words, Bai Qiuyue had never thought that the Sacred Palace would dare to take the initiative to attack.
He had overlooked this point, and this gave Xiao Chen an opportunity. Moreover, when faced with such an opportunity, others might hesitate and be afraid of walking into a trap, but Xiao Chen was not afraid. Or perhaps it could be said that Xiao Chen was a restless person. Since this was an opportunity, Xiao Chen was definitely not willing to miss it. It was completely worth the risk.
As long as he killed Bai Qiu Yue, would the main branch still be in the mood to hunt him down? Obviously, there was none. To catch bandits, first catch the ringleader. This was the logic.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Chen told Chen Ling, Long Qing and the others his idea. When they heard Xiao Chen's plan, everyone was stunned at first, but they quickly agreed that it was feasible.
There were more than a dozen people from the Holy Palace. None of them objected to Xiao Chen's plan after hearing it. They all felt that it was feasible and worth the risk. Therefore, it was said that one lunatic was not scary, but if a group of lunatics gathered together, it would definitely be a terrifying thing. The Holy Palace was obviously like that.
Although they were few in number, each one of them was braver than the last.
Everyone supported Xiao Chen's plan. After a simple discussion, Xiao Chen decided to take the risk and give it a try.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Big brother, second sister, the two of you go find a disciple from the main faction and ask him about Bai Qiuyue's current location." Xiao Chen said as he looked at Chen Ling and Long Qing.
The first thing was to determine Bai Qiuyue's current location. However, this was not difficult. They could just grab any one of the several hundred disciples from the main faction and ask him.
When they heard Xiao Chen's words, Chen Ling and Long Qing did not hesitate. They immediately nodded and turned to leave.
With Chen Ling and Long Qing taking action, it was not difficult to capture a disciple from the main faction. Therefore, after the two left, Xiao Chen led everyone to find a secluded place to hide and wait for the two to return.
They did not have to wait for long. Bai Qiuyue had divided the main faction disciples into more than ten teams and sent them to encircle the Sacred Palace faction. As a result, Chen Ling and Long Qing easily encountered a group of main faction disciples.
However, according to Xiao Chen's instructions, the two did not act rashly and alert the enemy. Instead, they found an opportunity and secretly captured a main faction disciple without alerting anyone else.
When Chen and Ling returned, Xiao Chen knew that Bai Qiuyue had indeed sent out all her disciples to surround and annihilate them. A cold smile appeared on his face as he walked up to the main branch disciple and asked in an indifferent voice, "Is there anyone who can help?"
"Where is Bai Qiuyue now?"
This disciple was only an ordinary disciple and did not have a high status in the main faction. Therefore, Xiao Chen did not ask Bai Qiuyue about her plans. He believed that this person would not know.
He only asked about Bai Qiuyue's current location. As for the rest, Xiao Chen was not interested and this disciple would not know.
In the face of Xiao Chen's inquiry, this disciple did not have any intention of cooperating at first. However, after a beating, this disciple became much more obedient and quickly sold Bai Qiuyue out.
"I don't know where senior brother Bai is right now, but when we left, senior brother Bai was there …"
After learning that Bai Qiuyue was near the ancient tree from before, Xiao Chen revealed a cold smile. It seemed that Bai Qiuyue really treated the Sacred Palace faction as prey. He had never considered his own safety and actually dared to stay in the same place.
However, Bai Qiuyue clearly did not know that the position of prey and hunter could be switched. Just like now, he had sent all his disciples to encircle Xiao Chen's group. Little did he know that Xiao Chen was thinking of a way to kill him in one blow. He was going to kill Bai Qiuyue first.
A glint flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. Then, he struck the back of the disciple's neck and directly knocked him out.
He did not kill him. To Xiao Chen, this disciple had no enmity with him, so it did not matter whether he killed him or not. Knocking him out was enough.
After obtaining the answer he wanted, Xiao Chen looked at the crowd and smiled. "Let's go and say hello to Bai Qiuyue."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, everyone sneered. Then, the group turned around and rushed towards the ancient tree from before. Bai Qiuyue obviously did not expect Xiao Chen's group to turn around and come back.
