The experts of the Cotian Sect chose to retreat in the end. The Sword Sect successfully defended against the Cotian Sect's attack in the first clash. As a result, the situation was gradually tipping in the favor of the Sword Sect. The experts of the Cotian Sect chose to retreat in the end. The Sword Sect successfully defended against the Cotian Sect's attack in the first clash. As a result, the situation was gradually tipping in the favor of the Sword Sect.
Because the first clash was successful, the Cotian Sect clearly had no time to continue fighting with the Sword Sect. The matter of the Moon Palace and Tianzhou had to be resolved as soon as possible. The Cotian Sect could not afford to delay.
After treating the injured and cleaning up the battlefield, the others returned to the starship to rest. After doing all this, Xiao Chen returned to the starship accompanied by Cang Xing and the others.
The victory of this battle did allow Xiao Chen to breathe a sigh of relief. However, he could not let his guard down. After all, the Cotian Sect had not truly retreated yet.
Although Xiao Chen guessed that the Cotian Sect would definitely not continue fighting with the Sword Sect after this battle, he could not be sure. If the Cotian Sect really did not care and insisted on destroying the Sword Sect, there was no guarantee.
Therefore, before the Cotian Sect truly retreated, the Sword Sect still could not let their guard down.
After the battle ended, both sides suffered many casualties. However, compared to the Sword Sect, the Cotian Sect's mood was particularly heavy.
At this moment, the seven elders of the Cotian Sect gathered together in the starship. They did not care about their injuries. The seven of them had to make a decision as soon as possible.
The Tianzhou side had sent many messages, hoping that the battle here would end as soon as possible so that they could return to the Tianzhou side in time.
Unfortunately, the result of the first battle was beyond everyone's expectations. After a fierce battle, the Cotian Sect could not even break through the Sword Sect's defensive line, let alone destroy the Sword Sect.
The first battle could be said to have ended in failure. As a result, the Cotian Sect was faced with a dilemma.
Should he continue to tangle with the Sword Sect here, or should he return to Tianzhou and repel the Moon Palace's attack?
If they continued to be entangled with the Sword Sect, the Tianzhou Province would suffer greater and greater losses. If they returned to the Tianzhou Province, it would undoubtedly mean that their attack on the Sword Sect had ended in failure.
The seven elders present found it difficult to choose between the two choices. Destroying the Sword Sect was the unanimous decision of the elders of the Heavenly Sect, but they could not give up on the Tianzhou. After all, it was the foundation of the Heavenly Sect.
With a gloomy expression, one of the Elders shouted coldly, "Damned Moon Palace, those bitches. If it weren't for them, the Sword Sect would have been destroyed long ago."
He hated the Moon Palace to the core, and that was indeed the case. Originally, the Heavenly Sect's attack on the Sword Sect should have been a sure thing, but because of the Moon Palace's sudden attack, the Heavenly Sect was caught in a dilemma.
If it weren't for the Moon Palace, there wouldn't have been so much trouble in the Tianzhou Province, and the Sword Sect wouldn't have had the ability to block the Heavenly Sect's all-out attack.
However, at this point, there was no point in talking about it. Right now, the seven elders present had to make a choice as soon as possible.
Following the Elder's angry shout, another person sighed and said, "It's useless to talk about it now. Let's retreat. We can't afford to lose the Tianzhou Province."
Compared to destroying the Sword Sect, the safety of the Tianzhou Province was clearly more important to the Heavenly Sect. Now that they couldn't deal a heavy blow to the Sword Sect in the first battle, they could only return to the Tianzhou Province. As for destroying the Sword Sect, that could only be decided in the future.
Someone suggested retreating. Hearing this, although the others were unwilling, they didn't object. Everyone knew that this was an unchangeable fact. They could only temporarily give up on attacking the Sword Sect and return to the Tianzhou Province.
The elders fell silent. After a long while, they spoke one after another. "Then let's retreat. We'll make plans after returning to the Tianzhou Province."
After making their decision, the experts from the Heavenly Gate quickly received the order to retreat. Even though many of them were unwilling to do so, they could only follow the order.
The starships from the Heavenly Sect began to retreat. Xiao Chen naturally knew about the Heavenly Sect's actions immediately.
Not even two hours had passed since the end of the first battle, and the Heavenly Gate had already chosen to retreat. From this, it could be seen how much importance the Heavenly Gate placed on the Tianzhou Province. Or perhaps it could be said that the current situation of the Tianzhou Province had truly reached a critical juncture. They could not afford any more delays.
With the Heavenly Sect retreating, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Not only Xiao Chen, but Cang Xing and the others also felt the same.
Although the Sword Sect seemed to have defended against the Heavenly Sect's attack in this battle, if the two sides continued to be entangled, the Sword Sect would definitely be the one to lose.
Not only was the Sword Sect inferior to the Heavenly Sect in terms of overall strength, but after this battle, the Sword Sect's losses were obviously greater than the Heavenly Sect's.
Moreover, in order to defend against the Heavenly Sect's attack, Xiao Chen had taken out many resources from the Sword Sect. Those talisman arrays were made up of countless high-level talismans. The Sword Sect probably couldn't afford to use them again.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Sect chose to retreat in the end. As a result, the Sword Sect's danger was temporarily resolved.
With a relieved smile on his face, Xiao Chen stood on the deck and looked at the retreating Heavenly Sect starships. He smiled and said to Zhou Song, "Second Senior Brother, you can send a message to Fourth Senior Sister. Tell them that we're fine here."
The news of the Heavenly Sect's retreat naturally had to be reported to the Moon Palace as soon as possible so that they could prepare as soon as possible.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhou Song nodded slightly. He then took out a voice transmission talisman and told Xiao Xiao about the Heavenly Sect's retreat.
In the Tianzhou region, the Moon Palace was still slowly advancing. However, at this moment, Xiao Xiao received a message from Zhou Song. He learned that the Heavenly Sect's people had retreated to the Tianzhou region and asked Xiao Xiao and the others to be careful.
Xiao Xiao was overjoyed when she heard this news. She quickly found the Moon Palace's Vice Palace Masters and told them what happened in the Sword Province.
Hearing that the Heavenly Sect's retreat and the Sword Sect's crisis was resolved, the Moon Palace's Vice Palace Masters smiled and nodded. One of them said with a smile.
"In that case, it's about time for us to retreat."
"There's no rush. It'll take at least five or six days to travel from the Tyrant Province to the Tianzhou region. Let's delay it a little longer." Another Vice Palace Master said.
Although the Heavenly Sect had chosen to return to the Tianzhou region, it was impossible for them to arrive immediately. Before that, the Moon Palace had enough time to choose to retreat.
Hearing the Vice Palace Master's words, the others didn't have any objections. Then, the Moon Palace's starships began to loot in the Tianzhou region and began to move towards the periphery of the Tianzhou region. They were already prepared to retreat.
