Tao Ming knew that he wasn't a match for Jun Wuya. However, this was a battle between two great sects. It would be difficult for Jun Wuya to change the situation by himself unless he had the ability to kill Tao Ming in a short time. Unfortunately, Jun Wuya couldn't do that for now.
Sensing the terrifying aura from Tao Ming, Jun Wuya also released an aura that didn't show any signs of weakness. Instantly, the two Sovereigns engaged in a fierce battle.
As the strongest person in the Great Thousand World, Jun Wuya's strength was indeed unparalleled. However, even though Tao Ming wasn't as strong as Jun Wuya, he still had the ability to fight back.
On the battlefield, both sides fought fiercely. No one was willing to be outdone, and no one was willing to lose.
After brewing for such a long time, the battle between the Sword Sect and the Heavenly Sect finally began. However, Xiao Chen and Yang Chen didn't appear on the battlefield.
Moreover, it wasn't just the two of them. There were other experts who didn't appear either.
Although both the Sword Sect and the Heavenly Sect had gathered a powerful force and many experts on the battlefield, if one was careful enough, one would realize that this wasn't the full strength of the two great sects.
Both sides had at least one End Realm expert and several Dao Realm experts who didn't appear on the battlefield. The whereabouts of these experts had become a mystery.
Xiao Chen didn't know about the situation on Yang Chen's side. He was still in the Sword Sect. Xiao Chen, who didn't go to the front lines, was studying the map of the Sword Sect and the Heavenly Sect.
At the same time, Cang Xing and the five Sword Heads of the Sword Sect also didn't go to the front lines. The remaining experts were also waiting for orders in the Sword Sect.
The reason Xiao Chen left these people behind and did not send all of them to the main battlefield was because Xiao Chen instinctively felt that something was wrong. Yang Chen had not appeared on the main battlefield since the beginning.
"A sneak attack …" Xiao Chen instantly guessed that Yang Chen was going to launch a sneak attack. But even so, it wasn't easy to determine where exactly Yang Chen would launch his sneak attack.
Moreover, what made Xiao Chen feel strange was that up until now, not a single one of the numerous spies sent out by the Sword Sect had grasped Yang Chen's whereabouts. In other words, Xiao Chen didn't even know where Yang Chen was.
Xiao Chen had completely lost track of Yang Chen. He had no idea where Yang Chen was or what Yang Chen was doing. This made him increasingly anxious.
As a matter of fact, Xiao Chen wasn't too worried about the main battlefield because based on the current situation, both sides were actually evenly matched in terms of strength.
No one had a huge advantage and no one had fallen into a disadvantageous position. Therefore, it was impossible to determine the victor on the main battlefield at this moment. Therefore, the key point was still Yang Chen's current location.
While staring at the map as though in deep thought, as though trying to determine where Yang Chen might launch a sneak attack or appear, Xiao Chen asked Cang Xing. "Is there still no news of Yang Chen?"
"No, Sect Master. Do you really think that Yang Chen can sneak into the hinterland of our Sword Mansion and launch a sneak attack?" Cang Xing asked dubiously.
Xiao Chen replied simply. "Based on the current situation, this is the most likely thing to happen and also the most effective means to deal a heavy blow to us. With Yang Chen's personality, he won't miss this opportunity."
In the current situation, it was better to be safe than sorry because once Yang Chen seized the opportunity, it would be a devastating blow to the Sword Sect.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cang Xing still didn't understand. "But now that the entire Sword Sect has been sealed off, how can Yang Chen drive straight in? Could it be that he can use the other mansions and circle around to our Sword Mansion? "
Cang Xing asked the question in his heart without giving it much thought. However, Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this. He then muttered to himself excitedly, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Cang Xing's words enlightened Xiao Chen. All along, Xiao Chen thought that Yang Chen would drive straight into the hinterland of the Sword Sect. However, didn't Cang Xing say that Yang Chen could use the other mansions?
Xiao Chen suddenly realized something when he heard what Lu Xuan had said.
Indeed, the Sword Sect had been completely sealed off by the Sword Mansion. It would be very difficult for Yang Chen to drive straight into the hinterland of the Sword Mansion from the Hetian Prefecture. However, if Yang Chen could use the other mansions to get to the Sword Mansion like what Cang Xing said, then he could bypass the main battlefield and successfully appear behind the Sword Mansion.
Following this train of thought, Xiao Chen looked at the map and kept looking to the north. Finally, Xiao Chen's gaze locked onto Tong City.
Tong City was located in the northernmost part of the Sword Mansion and also belonged to the border of the Sword Mansion. However, it was in a completely different direction from the Hetian Prefecture. As a result of the battle with the Hetian Sect, Tong City had become a major backline.
It seemed like Tong City was the safest place. However, in Xiao Chen's opinion, Tong City was the most dangerous place.
Because it was far away from the Hetian Prefecture, the defense of Tong City was extremely lax. Most of the experts had been transferred to the main battlefield. Most importantly, if Yang Chen set off from the Hetian Prefecture, then he could bypass the main battlefield and reach Tong City through the Myriad Weapon Prefecture.
Moreover, the Myriad Weapon Prefecture was now under the control of the Heavenly Yin Tower. It was extremely chaotic in the midst of the battle. Yang Chen could definitely use the Hetian Prefecture to launch a surprise attack on Tong City.
Moreover, and most importantly, this was also why Xiao Chen thought that Yang Chen's surprise attack target was very likely to be Tong City.
That was because there were many spiritual stone veins around Tong City. If these veins were destroyed, it would definitely be a devastating blow to the Sword Sect.
Think about it. What was the purpose of this war? It was not only a battle of the hard power of the two sects, but also a battle of soft power, wealth, and confidence.
Healing pills, talismans, and other consumables needed money to buy. Without money, there would be no such things. The consequences were self-evident.
It could be said that this war was a battle of the confidence of the two sects. Whoever had more confidence would have a higher chance of winning.
Tong City had so many spiritual stone veins. If it was destroyed, the loss to the Sword Sect would be immeasurable, especially during such a critical period.
The more Xiao Chen thought about it, the more he felt that Yang Chen's target was Tong City. Moreover, if Yang Chen successfully attacked Tong City, he could directly turn around and form a siege on the battlefield. At that time, the situation would be even more disadvantageous for the Sword Sect. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
