They had already received Moon Palace's support, and Moon Palace was willing to attack Tianzhou to force the Heavenly Sect's experts to return. They had already received Moon Palace's support, and Moon Palace was willing to attack Tianzhou to force the Heavenly Sect's experts to return.
However, even if Moon Palace was willing to attack, there was a crucial prerequisite. The Sword Sect had to be able to withstand the first round of attacks from the Heavenly Sect.
If the Sword Sect was forced to retreat as soon as the Heavenly Sect attacked, even if Moon Palace attacked, the Heavenly Sect would not choose to retreat. Instead, they would try their best to destroy the Sword Sect in the shortest amount of time before returning to Tianzhou.
Even if they could not defeat the Heavenly Sect, the Sword Sect had to at least be in a stalemate. In other words, the Heavenly Sect could not take down the Sword Sect instantly. If Heavenly Sect could not take down the Sword Sect in a short period of time, they would be pressured by Moon Palace to retreat to Tianzhou.
Therefore, even with Moon Palace's help, the Sword Sect was still under a lot of pressure. The most important thing was naturally how to withstand the first round of attacks from the Heavenly Sect.
If they could not even withstand the first round of attacks from the Heavenly Sect, then everything else would be useless.
Xiao Chen understood this very well. Therefore, he looked down at Cang Xing, Zhou Song, Wu Huan and the others and said in a serious tone.
"The key to this battle is the first round. As long as we can withstand the first round of attacks from the Heavenly Sect, the situation will be completely reversed. Therefore, all the resources in the Sword Sect will be used in the first round. No matter what, we must withstand the first round of attacks from the Heavenly Sect."
All the resources would be used in the first round. Cang Xing and the others did not have any objections to Xiao Chen's words. Although it seemed like they were putting all their eggs in one basket, in reality, the Sword Sect had no other choice at the moment.
If they won the first round, the Heavenly Sect could only retreat to Tianzhou and defend Moon Palace. If they lost the first round, the Sword Sect would probably be doomed.
Everything would depend on the outcome of the first battle. Xiao Chen told everyone to get ready. They would head to the border between the Jian Province and the Ba Province tonight.
The experts of the Heavenly Sect had already gathered in the Bazhou. Naturally, the Sword Sect would not remain idle. They had already set up a line of defense at the border between the Bazhou and the Sword Provinces. At this moment, almost all the experts of the Sword Sect had gathered here.
From the actions of the Heavenly Gate, it was clear what they meant. Therefore, it was time for Xiao Chen and the others to rush to the battlefield.
After returning to the cave residence and bidding farewell to Qin Shuirou and the other girls, Xiao Chen and Xuanyuan Ling rushed to the border between the two prefectures. Of course, Cang Xing and the others were also with them.
Through the teleportation formation, that night, Xiao Chen and the others rushed to the Sword Sect's line of defense. Looking towards the Ba Province, they could vaguely see the Heavenly Sect's fleet of spaceships.
Although the Moon Palace's sudden attack caused the Heavenly Sect to not be able to gather all their strength in the Ba Province, over 50% of their strength was still gathered here.
According to the intel, there were seven End Realm experts in front of Xiao Chen and the others. Below them were Dao Realm and Comprehension Realm experts. There were close to a hundred of them.
Frowning slightly, even though they were facing less than 50% of the Heavenly Sect's strength, Xiao Chen still felt pressure. Especially in terms of the number of End Realm experts, the Sword Sect was one behind the Heavenly Sect.
This battle was indeed not an easy one. The pressure that the Sword Sect was facing was huge. Moreover, they definitely wouldn't hold back against the Heavenly Sect.
With the current situation, the Heavenly Sect's experts still chose to stay in the Ba Province and didn't retreat. They wanted to take down the Sword Sect in one fell swoop. Therefore, the Heavenly Sect would definitely try their best to destroy the Sword Sect in the shortest amount of time.
Of course, as the Sword Sect, what Xiao Chen needed to do now was to think of a way to drag the battle into a stalemate. At the very least, they couldn't let the Heavenly Sect take down the Sword Sect quickly.
The Sword Sect needed to drag out time. The longer they dragged it out, the more advantageous it would be for them. On the other hand, the Heavenly Sect needed to take down the Sword Sect as soon as possible.
Just as the two sides were facing each other at the border of the two prefectures, the Moon Palace launched an attack on the Tianzhou region on the other side.
Many of the Moon Palace cultivators entered the Tianzhou region directly. Naturally, the Heavenly Gate reacted immediately to the Moon Palace cultivators' actions.
The two sides erupted into a great battle in the Tianzhou region. However, because half of the Heavenly Sect's strength was gathered in the Ba Province, preparing to attack the Sword Sect, the Heavenly Sect was clearly at a disadvantage against the Moon Palace.
It was merely the first time they had come into contact, yet the Heavenly Gate had already fallen into a disadvantageous position, retreating step by step. On the other hand, the Lunar Palace's side advanced triumphantly. Not only did they break through the Heavenly Gate's defences, they even seized the cultivation resources of many forces in the Tianzhou Province.
The Moon Palace's goal wasn't truly to take over the Tianzhou region and destroy the Heavenly Sect. However, since the Heavenly Sect didn't have enough strength to defend the Tianzhou region, the Moon Palace naturally didn't mind plundering the Tianzhou region.
After all, who would complain about having too many cultivation resources?
With such a great opportunity, the Moon Palace experts naturally didn't hold back. Along the way, they plundered all the forces in the Tianzhou region.
The Moon Palace had already begun their attack on the Tianzhou region and had already caused the Heavenly Sect to suffer significant losses. On the other side, the Heavenly Sect experts in the Ba Province also prepared to attack the Sword Sect after receiving the news.
With the Moon Palace attacking, there wasn't much time left for the Heavenly Sect. Immediately, the Heavenly Sect experts in the Ba Province attacked the Sword Province.
Following the Heavenly Sect's attack, Xiao Chen naturally prepared to fight. At the border between the two provinces, the Sword Sect and the Heavenly Sect experts met. Xiao Chen stood proudly in the sky, surrounded by Cang Xing and the others. At the same time, seven Heavenly Sect elders also stood in the sky opposite him.
The two sides faced each other from a distance. One of the Heavenly Sect elders looked at Xiao Chen and said calmly, "Xiao Chen, you should know that the Sword Sect's strength can't stop us. If you surrender, I can guarantee that I won't kill you. I'm even willing to give you a position as an elder of the Heavenly Sect. How about it?"
A position as an elder of the Heavenly Sect wanted Xiao Chen to surrender? Xiao Chen smiled coldly when he heard the words of the Heavenly Sect elder.
"Don't talk nonsense. Everyone knows the situation of your Heavenly Sect. Why don't you retreat to the Tianzhou region? I can also guarantee that I won't do anything to your Heavenly Sect."
Xiao Chen said with a smile. Now that the Heavenly Sect's backyard was on fire, they still pretended to be calm and even wanted Xiao Chen to surrender. How could that be possible?
