Who would have thought that the Moon Palace would reveal their intentions to attack the Heavenly Sect at such a time? The two End Realm experts of the Heavenly Sect were solemn.
Not only them, but the other experts of the Heavenly Sect had also received the news. The elders of the Heavenly Sect who had arrived in the Bazhou ahead of time had also gathered together to discuss the Moon Palace.
The Moon Palace had mobilized a large number of experts towards the Tianzhou region. The Heavenly Sect naturally couldn't ignore this. However, they were about to attack the Sword Sect. If they returned to the Tianzhou region, wouldn't they be wasting such a good opportunity?
On one hand, there was the threat from the Moon Palace. On the other hand, there was the urgency to destroy the Sword Sect. All of a sudden, the Elders of the Heavenly Sect were in a dilemma.
They gathered together. One of the Elders of the Heavenly Sect said with a cold expression, "The Moon Palace suddenly attacked. From what I see, the attack must have something to do with the Sword Sect. Perhaps the Sword Sect asked for help from the Moon Palace."
He guessed that the Moon Palace suddenly attacked because the Sword Sect asked for help. After all, the Moon Palace hadn't done anything for such a long time. Now that they attacked, it was very strange.
Hearing this Elder's words, the other Elders of the Heavenly Sect nodded in agreement. One of them said, "That's true.
"That is indeed the case. However, what we should be considering right now is whether we should return to Tianzhou or continue to attack Jianzhou."
The Moon Palace's actions must have something to do with the Sword Sect. However, the Heavenly Sect couldn't change this. Now, the Heavenly Sect had to make a choice.
Should they return to the Tianzhou region to deal with the Moon Palace, or continue to attack the Sword Sect and destroy the Sword Sect?
Hearing this Elder's words, everyone present fell into silence. This choice was indeed difficult to make.
If they chose to destroy the Sword Sect, then if the Moon Palace really attacked the Tianzhou region, then the Tianzhou region would be in danger. However, if they chose to return to the Tianzhou region, then the destruction of the Sword Sect would naturally end in failure.
Faced with a difficult choice, all the Heavenly Gate elders fell into deep thought. In the end, the Heavenly Gate elder who spoke first spoke first.
"With our strength, it's enough to take down the Sword Sect. As for the others who haven't arrived in Bazhou, I think it's better for them to immediately return to Tianzhou and guard against the Moon Palace."
Originally, they had planned to wait for the other Heavenly Gate experts to arrive, but now it seemed that there was no need for that. Moreover, they had to be on guard against the Moon Palace.
Let those who hadn't reached the Overlords return to Tianzhou. As for the Sword Sect, they would be in charge of dealing with them. This way, they could take care of both sides.
However, without a doubt, this choice was based on the premise that the Lunar Palace did not actually want to attack the Tianzhou Province. Otherwise, the Heavenly Gate would not be able to stop the Lunar Palace's attack with their meager strength.
This was indeed the elder's consideration. From his point of view, the Lunar Palace did not actually want to attack the Tianzhou Province. They only wanted to put pressure on the Heavenly Gate and give the Sword Sect a chance to breathe.
Because of this, the elder suggested splitting their forces into two groups. One group would continue to deal with the Sword Sect, while the other group would return to Tianzhou and guard against the Lunar Palace.
They would divert a portion of the forces that were supposed to deal with the Sword Sect to defend the Tianzhou Province. This way, although their attacks against the Sword Sect would be weaker, it would be enough to deal with the Sword Sect.
Hearing the elder's words, the others fell silent for a moment before nodding in agreement.
From their point of view, the Lunar Palace did not really want to destroy the Tianzhou Province. Furthermore, they did not want to give up on the opportunity to destroy the Sword Sect.
After splitting their forces into two groups, the elders of the Heavenly Gate quickly came up with a plan. They immediately sent a message to the experts of the Heavenly Gate who had yet to reach the Overlord Region, telling them not to rush to the Overlord Region and to return directly to Tianzhou to guard against the Lunar Palace.
Faced with the threat from the Lunar Palace, the Heavenly Gate did not give up on dealing with the Sword Sect. In response, Xiao Chen and the other higher-ups of the Sword Sect gathered together. Even Lin Qing and Li Ke had returned from the Wu Region.
They had gathered all their forces to deal with the Heavenly Gate's attack.
Sitting on the main seat, Xiao Chen looked at Cang Xing and the others and said calmly, "It seems like the Heavenly Gate has no plans to retreat. They are determined to destroy the Sword Sect."
The reason why the experts of the Heavenly Gate had not retreated was self-evident. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cang Xing replied.
"They probably think that the Lunar Palace won't really attack. Therefore, although they have already sent a portion of their forces to guard against the Tianzhou Province, the main force is still prepared to deal with the Sword Sect."
Cang Xing's words revealed the thoughts of the Heavenly Gate. Xiao Chen nodded slightly. The Heavenly Gate did not think that the Lunar Palace would really attack. They were just putting on an act. Therefore, the Heavenly Gate still used most of their forces to deal with the Sword Sect.
However, if the Heavenly Gate wanted to take down the Sword Sect with lightning speed, it would depend on whether the Lunar Palace would give them a chance. Hearing Cang Xing's words, Xiao Chen turned to look at Zhou Song and asked, "Second senior brother, what about fourth senior sister?"
"Don't worry about it," Zhou Song replied.
Knowing that the Heavenly Gate had no intention of retreating because of the Lunar Palace's actions, Xiao Chen immediately asked Zhou Song to send a message to Xiao Xiao.
Since the Heavenly Gate thought that the Lunar Palace was just putting on an act, what would happen if the Lunar Palace really attacked the Tianzhou Province? Would the Heavenly Gate really just watch as the Tianzhou Province fell? Would they also destroy the Sword Sect?
Clearly, the Heavenly Gate could not do that. After all, compared to destroying the Sword Sect, the Tianzhou Province was the foundation of the Heavenly Gate. Once the Tianzhou Province fell, even if the Heavenly Gate destroyed the Sword Sect, what could they do? The gains would not make up for the losses.
Xiao Chen's intention was very clear. Since the Cotian Gate thought that the Moon Palace was just putting up a show and was still focusing most of their forces on Swords Gate, then the Moon Palace would really launch an attack on the Tianzhou. By then, even if the Cotian Gate didn't want to go back, they would still have to.
After receiving Xiao Xiao's reply, Xiao Chen nodded slightly. However, he still did not relax.
This was because before this, the Sword Sect still had to defend against the Heavenly Gate's attacks. They had to defend against the Heavenly Gate's first wave of attacks before they could force the Heavenly Gate to retreat.
Otherwise, if the Swords Gate had been forced to retreat from the beginning, giving the Heavenly Gate the hope of annihilating the Swords Gate, it was very likely that the Heavenly Gate would choose to annihilate the Swords Gate in one go, and then return to the Huitian Region to fight against the Moon Palace.
