In just one night, five cities in the Sword Province were attacked by the Cotian Sect and six of the Sword Sect's subordinate forces were annihilated. Among them, the He Family was the most infuriating. After all, the He Family was one of the earliest subordinate forces to follow the Sword Sect.
After a night of dealing with the situation, Cang Xing and the others returned to the Sword Sect one after another. However, the Sword Sect sent out several powerful experts to investigate the Cotian Sect's whereabouts in various places in the Sword Province.
However, Xiao Chen did not have much hope for this. Judging from the situation last night, the attack this time was obviously prepared by the Cotian Sect. Now, the people of the Cotian Sect had probably already left the Sword Province.
In the main hall of the Sword Sect, Xiao Chen, Cang Xing, and the other Deputy Sect Leaders gathered. After last night's incident, everyone's expression was incomparably cold and they were furious.
Because the Cotian Sect's actions were undoubtedly a blatant provocation. They didn't attack the Sword Sect directly, but attacked the subordinate forces instead. If this wasn't a provocation, then what was it?
The Sword Sect definitely had to respond to such a provocation. However, it was up to Xiao Chen to decide how to retaliate. After all, Xiao Chen was the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect.
Cang Xing and the others shifted their gazes to Xiao Chen. Facing their gazes, Xiao Chen revealed a faint smile and said, "Since they have issued a challenge, we naturally have to respond …"
In the face of the Cotian Sect's provocation, the Sword Sect definitely couldn't choose to remain silent. If not, wouldn't they become a laughing stock in the Great Thousand World?
They definitely had to respond. But at this point, Xiao Chen paused, swept a glance at everyone present, and continued. "Since Yang Chen wants to play with me, my Sword Sect will naturally accompany him to the end."
Xiao Chen had already decided to counterattack. On the other side, within the Heavenly Gate of the Tianzhou, Yang Chen had also received the report of last night's operation.
Everything went smoothly, according to the plan, and there were no mistakes. Listening to the elder's report, Yang Chen's lips curled into a faint smile. He then looked at the sky, in the direction of Swords Gate, and softly murmured, "Let's go, Swords Gate.
"Alright, Xiao Chen, how will you fight back?"
Yang Chen knew that Xiao Chen would definitely not take this lying down and would definitely retaliate. Regarding this, Yang Chen had already prepared for it. He had already made preparations for all the major cities in Tianzhou, as well as the various subordinate forces of the He Tian Sect.
After all, Yang Chen had ordered the experts of the Hetian Sect to launch a sneak attack on five cities in the Sword Province and wipe out the affiliated forces of the six major sword sects. The most likely way for Xiao Chen to retaliate was to give Yang Chen a taste of his own medicine by attacking the affiliated forces of the Hetian Sect. Therefore, Yang Chen had been prepared for this.
The letter of challenge had already been issued. Now, all that was left was to wait for Xiao Chen's response. This was also the first time Yang Chen and Xiao Chen had fought. Based on the current situation, Yang Chen clearly had the upper hand and even had a slight advantage.
This was because as long as Xiao Chen dared to give him a taste of his own medicine and attack the subordinate forces of the He Tian Sect, Yang Chen was confident that he could make the Sword Sect suffer a small loss again.
Having already prepared for this, Yang Chen's battle intent continued to rise.
Yang Chen was waiting for Xiao Chen's counterattack. However, three days had passed and the Sword Sect did not make any moves.
He had already waited for three days, but the Sword Sect did not make any moves at all. This made Yang Chen very suspicious.
Could it be that Xiao Chen had endured this? But that was obviously impossible. Yang Chen understood Xiao Chen and felt that with Xiao Chen's personality, he was not someone who could endure this kind of humiliation.
Before he became the Sect Master of the He Tian Sect, Yang Chen had a detailed understanding of Xiao Chen. He knew that Xiao Chen was not someone who would endure this kind of humiliation. It could even be said that Xiao Chen had a vengeful personality.
All along, as long as someone provoked Xiao Chen and the Sword Sect, Xiao Chen would not remain indifferent. This was the case when the Sword Sect was still very weak. Now, as the Sword Sect continued to grow stronger, logically speaking, Xiao Chen would not be able to endure this.
He had always felt that Xiao Chen would definitely make a counterattack. However, until now, Xiao Chen had not made any moves and the Sword Sect had not made any moves. This made Yang Chen somewhat suspicious.
Every day, he paid close attention to the Sword Sect's every move. At the same time, he was also on guard. He was constantly paying attention to the Sword Sect's people entering Tianzhou. However, three days had passed and he had not made any moves.
A trace of confusion flashed through Yang Chen's eyes as he sat in the garden. At this moment, Yang Chen was indeed somewhat suspicious of what Xiao Chen was trying to do.
Even Yang Chen did not believe that Xiao Chen would not respond because Xiao Chen was not the kind of person who would not retaliate after being hit. However, the most important question right now was how Xiao Chen would retaliate. This was the question that Yang Chen was most concerned about.
Yang Chen was filled with doubts. However, these doubts did not last long. Very soon, Xiao Chen gave him an answer.
The next day, which was the fourth day since the He Tian Sect had launched a sneak attack on the five cities of the Jian Province, Xiao Chen's counterattack finally came.
Yang Chen, who had just finished a night of cultivation, did not even have the time to wash up before an elder of the He Tian Sect hurriedly came to find him. The elder did not even have time to reply to Yang Chen before he hurriedly spoke.
"Sect Master, something bad has happened."
Upon hearing the elder's words and seeing how anxious he was, Yang Chen appeared to be much calmer. "What's the hurry? Speak slowly."
Hearing Yang Chen's words, the elder took a deep breath and told Yang Chen what had happened last night. The elder said with an ice-cold expression.
"Last night, we headed to the Dan Valley. The people from the Talisman Sect and Weapon Sect were ambushed by the people from the Sword Sect on their way back. The escorts were all killed and the items were all stolen. Also … also …"
"What else is there? Speak." Yang Chen's expression darkened when he heard the elder's words.
Facing Yang Chen's questioning, the elder continued to speak nervously. "Also … just a moment ago, the Sword Sect announced to the public that anyone who can provide the whereabouts of the Heavenly Sect disciples outside of the Tianzhou Region will be rewarded with 10,000 high-grade spirit stones."
It's here. Xiao Chen's counterattack is finally here. Hearing this, Yang Chen's eyes flashed with a cold glint.
For the past four days, Yang Chen had been waiting for Xiao Chen's counterattack. Now, it was finally here. However, Yang Chen did not expect Xiao Chen's target at all.
Xiao Chen did not launch a sneak attack on any cities in the Tianzhou Region. Instead, he targeted the Heavenly Sect disciples outside of the Tianzhou Region. These people were outside of the Tianzhou Region and the Heavenly Sect could not fully protect them. Therefore, it was much easier for the Sword Sect to kill them.
