When they learned that Xie Tian's group had suddenly appeared in East Sword City, the girls naturally contacted Xiao Chen. Hearing Hundred Flower Fairy's words, Qin Shuirou and the others nodded in agreement.
Xiao Chen had indeed replied, saying that he would be back in two hours. He had to make sure Hundred Flower Fairy and the others could hold on.
Actually, Xiao Chen's current mood was even more anxious than the girls present. He wished that he could return to the Sword Sect as soon as possible. Seeing everyone nod, Hundred Flower Fairy also gave her thoughts.
Right now, they could only stall for time until Xiao Chen came back. Only then would they have a chance of resolving this crisis. Otherwise, with the current situation of the Sword Sect, it was impossible for them to stop Xie Tian.
Only, two hours of time was not considered long, but it was also not considered short. Not to mention that after Xie Tian destroyed East Sword City, it could be said that he was directly attacking the root of the problem. In front of him, there was no longer any obstruction, so Xie Tian could directly charge at the Sword Sect.
So, Hundred Flower Fairy had to do something, otherwise it would be impossible to stall for two hours. Once Xie Tian arrived at the Sword Sect and Xiao Chen didn't appear, Xie Tian would realize that there was a problem.
Thinking of this, Hundred Flower Fairy looked at the elders present and said, "Everyone, I'll have to trouble you to bring people to stop Xie Tian."
The first step was of course to not let Xie Tian charge at the Sword Sect so smoothly. So, along the way, they had to stop Xie Tian.
Only, this time, because of the difference in strength, they couldn't fight Xie Tian head on. So, Hundred Flower Fairy's order was to stall Xie Tian, delaying him for as long as possible.
Moreover, they could use various methods like arrays, pills, sneak attacks, and etc. They could fight while retreating. In any case, they had to delay Xie Tian's arrival at the Sword Sect.
Like this, it wasn't impossible to complete this quest. After all, they didn't have to stop Xie Tian outside the Sword Sect, they just had to delay Xie Tian's arrival.
Knowing that this was a critical moment, the elders did not object to Hundred Flower Fairy's request. They nodded and went to prepare.
Several elders quickly led a group of elite disciples from the Sword Sect out of the Sword Sect, heading in the direction Xie Tian's group had come from. Of course, they didn't make a big fuss, but rather they made sure to hide themselves.
Xie Tian's side didn't know the current situation of the Sword Sect, so after leaving East Sword City, Xie Tian didn't blindly head to the Sword Sect. Rather he was very careful along the way.
There was no other way, this was the headquarters of the Sword Sect and Xie Tian didn't know that Xiao Chen wasn't in the Sword Sect, so it was impossible for him to not be careful. If he mindlessly charged into the Sword Sect, what would he do if he fell into Xiao Chen's ambush?
Although he was curious why East Sword City's defenses were so lax, Xie Tian still maintained a certain level of vigilance. Perhaps Xie Tian suspected that East Sword City was bait that Xiao Chen had thrown out.
He deliberately let Xie Tian easily take East Sword City to lower Xie Tian's guard. He then set up an ambush around the Sword Sect to take down Xie Tian's group in one fell swoop.
It was because of this guess that Xie Tian was very careful with each step he took.
This couldn't be blamed on Xie Tian, after all, this wasn't his first time fighting Xiao Chen. Xie Tian was very clear in his heart that Xiao Chen was not a person who was brave but not astute. Not to mention that under Xiao Chen's command, the Sword Sect was filled with talented people.
Such an intelligent person and the two of them being old opponents, naturally he was very clear on the other side's personality. So, Xie Tian had to be a bit more careful.
But because of his caution, he gave the Sword Sect a chance to breathe. Adding in the fact that not long after they left East Sword City, Xie Tian's group had been ambushed by the Sword Sect's disciples.
The actions of these disciples were very strange. They would suddenly appear each time and never fight. After attacking once, they would choose to retreat and even use an array.
This kind of action made Xie Tian's heart filled with doubt. Because this kind of action, it didn't seem like they wanted to surround and kill him. It was more like they were stalling for time.
Stalling for time? Why did the Sword Sect make this kind of move? Was it because the encirclement hadn't been formed yet? Or was it because of some other reason that Xiao Chen didn't want him to reach the Sword Sect this quickly?
They were wildly harassed along the way and this caused Xie Tian's group to become slower and slower. Although they had fought several times and Xie Tian's group had killed quite a few Sword Sect disciples, they didn't chase after them.
One reason was because there was no meaning in chasing after these Sword Sect disciples and two was because Xie Tian was afraid of falling into Xiao Chen's trap.
But the more it was like this, the more doubt Xie Tian had in his heart. This was because from the beginning, the Sword Sect's actions were very strange.
First East Sword City's defenses were very lax and then they sent people to stop them and stall for time. Everything seemed very strange, it didn't seem like the usual style of Xiao Chen and the Sword Sect.
If it was a normal time, Xiao Chen and the other experts of the Sword Sect would have already made a move. But this time, up until now, Xie Tian hadn't seen Xiao Chen, Jun Wuya, or any other Sword Sect experts.
Up until now, the strongest experts Xie Tian had seen in the Sword Sect were only a few End Realm elders. This was very strange.
Properly speaking, he had already come knocking on their door, but where were the experts of the Sword Sect? Not a single one of them had appeared. This was very strange and very strange.
He felt like he had overlooked something. Xie Tian thought to himself as he rushed over.
At first, Xie Tian thought that Xiao Chen was deliberately luring him into a trap to kill him, but now, this idea was becoming more and more unreliable because it was going too far. If Xiao Chen really wanted to lure him into a trap, there was no need for him to send people to stop him, it was completely unnecessary.
But if it wasn't to lure him into a trap, what was it for? Could it be that the Sword Sect really just wanted to stall for time?
Thinking of this, Xie Tian suddenly thought of the battle happening in the Divine Land. The Sword Sect was attacking the Shrines, so both sides should be fighting right now. But to deal with a single Shrines, the Sword Sect clearly didn't use their full strength. Less than half of their Emperor Realm Masters participated in this battle. Moreover, Xiao Chen and Jun Wuya didn't participate at all.
Xiao Chen and Jun Wuya didn't participate in the battle with the Shrines, but were the two of them really in the Sword Sect? Suddenly, Xie Tian realized this and his eyes revealed a look of wild joy. At this time, Xie Tian finally realized where the problem was and why the Sword Sect was acting so strangely.
