Who would have thought that this plan would attract three Holy Sons and Holy Daughters? Among them, Xiao Chen and Tian Yue were the first Holy Son and Holy Daughter. As the three Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Night Ghost Pavilion had said, even if they had to pay a price, as long as they could kill Xiao Chen and the other two, it would be worth it.
They had originally thought that they would only be able to kill a few Sacred Palace Saints at most, but who would have thought that they would reap such a great reward? The news quickly spread back to the Night Ghost Pavilion. At the same time, the Ghost King Sect received orders from the Night Ghost Pavilion to delay Xiao Chen and the others at all costs.
The Ghost King Sect's sect master stood at the front line of the fierce battle. He could not hold on at all. Right now, he was facing sect master Baimo Shengzong and a Sacred Palace Saint Venerate.
Facing two Saints alone, the Ghost King Sect's sect master was under a lot of pressure. It was no exaggeration to say that if the battle continued, the Ghost King Sect's sect master would probably die here.
He had already thought of retreating, but the Night Ghost Pavilion had ordered him to delay Xiao Chen and the others and not give them a chance to escape. For a moment, the Ghost King Sect's sect master was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
If the battle continued, he would probably die here. Moreover, with the addition of Xiao Chen and the others, the Ghost King Sect's cultivators had already suffered heavy casualties.
However, if he chose to retreat, the Night Ghost Pavilion would definitely not let him off. In fact, the Ghost King Sect might even be destroyed.
The Ghost King Sect's sect master was well aware of the Night Ghost Pavilion's methods. Therefore, after much hesitation, he decided to fight to the bitter end and persevere until the Night Ghost Pavilion's experts arrived.
Forcefully extinguishing the thought of retreating in his heart, the Ghost King Sect's sect master's aura soared again, as if he was facing death with equanimity.
The scene was already extremely chaotic. Killing could be seen everywhere, and the area outside the spirit vein city was already littered with corpses.
As he killed the Ghost King Sect's cultivators, Xiao Chen observed the situation on the battlefield. He did not lose his cool because Xiao Chen knew very well that the Ghost King Sect was probably just a cover. Xiao Chen's ultimate goal today was to lure out the big fish behind the Ghost King Sect.
The Night Ghost Pavilion was fishing, and so was Xiao Chen.
The two sides were locked in a fierce battle. Although Xiao Chen's strength was enough to crush the Ghost King Sect, there were too many Ghost King Sect martial artists, and it was difficult to finish them off in a short time.
While Xiao Chen and the others were engaged in a bloody battle, the Night Ghost Pavilion had received the news from the Bai Mo Continent. The Night Ghost Pavilion immediately took action.
At the same time, the first Holy Son of the Night Ghost Pavilion, Mo Xie, and two other Holy Sons of the Night Ghost Pavilion also appeared in the group.
When he heard that Xiao Chen had appeared on the Bai Mo Continent and was surrounded, Mo Xie chose to rush to the Bai Mo Continent without hesitation.
Ever since he had fought with Xiao Chen in the Celestial Expanse Sect's Secret Territory, Mo Xie had sworn that he would kill Xiao Chen with his own hands. Today, the opportunity had finally arrived. Furthermore, Mo Xie did not think that this trip would be dangerous. After all, with the existence of the Cross-Realm Teleportation Formation, the Night Ghost Pavilion could advance or retreat as they pleased.
The group was quickly assembled, and the experts of the Night Ghost Pavilion quickly arrived at the Bai Mo Continent's Great Peak City through the Cross-Realm Teleportation Formation.
Mo Xie led the group. After the group arrived, Mo Xie did not waste any time and directly looked at the three Saints who had been guarding the Bai Mo Continent. "How is it? What's the situation now?"
"Holy Son, the two sides are still fighting fiercely."
"Good, let's set off immediately. Today, we must capture Xiao Chen and the others in one fell swoop." Mo Xie roared with overflowing killing intent.
For an entire two hours, the Ghost King Sect had fearlessly stalled Xiao Chen and the others. However, the Ghost King Sect had also paid a heavy price for this. At the very least, more than seventy percent of the people who had attacked this time had been killed by Xiao Chen and the others.
At this point, there were only a few people left on the Ghost King Sect's side who were still resisting. Even the sect master of the Ghost King Sect had been killed by sect master Baimo Shengzong and a Saint Sovereign from the Sacred Palace.
The sect master of the Ghost King Sect did not choose to retreat until he died. The outcome seemed certain. The Ghost King Sect had lost, and it was a crushing defeat. However, Xiao Chen did not relax in the slightest.
Seeing that there were still some Ghost King Sect cultivators struggling to resist, Xiao Chen looked in the direction of Vast Peak City with a solemn expression.
Under Xiao Chen's gaze, Xiao Chen vaguely sensed a terrifying aura constantly approaching. Perhaps it was because of the distance, but Xiao Chen could not sense the terrifying aura too clearly.
However, this did not hinder him. Sensing the aura's approach, Xiao Chen sneered. "Is that so?"
As he spoke, Xiao Chen coldly shouted to everyone present, "Everyone, return to the city."
The battle was not over yet, but Xiao Chen had given the order to retreat. Although many people did not know what Xiao Chen meant, no one dared to refute Xiao Chen. Soon, everyone returned to the city.
In less than a hundred breaths, the two sides stopped fighting and Xiao Chen's group successfully returned to the Spirit Vein City.
Xiao Chen stood in the middle of the city walls, accompanied by Tian Yue, Qin Shuirou, Quan Lan and the others. He looked into the distance.
Under Xiao Chen's gaze, Mo Xie soon arrived with a group of Night Ghost Pavilion experts. Baimo Shengzong's disciples and elders could not help but gasp when they saw Mo Xie's group.
A total of twenty-three Saints, three Chosens, and hundreds of Dao Emperors and Dao Kings. No one had expected the Night Ghost Pavilion to have so many experts lying in ambush on the Bai Mo Continent.
Everyone understood when they saw this scene. The Ghost King Sect was bait, bait used to lure the Night Ghost Pavilion.
The Ghost King Sect had attacked the Spirit Vein City all this time to lure the Sacred Palace's reinforcements. Then, the Night Ghost Pavilion would take the opportunity to devour the Sacred Palace's reinforcements.
Without knowing the situation, it was indeed impossible for the Sacred Palace to send too many experts to rescue the Hundred Mo Continent because of a mere Ghost King Sect.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen was vigilant and prepared. If it was anyone else, the Night Ghost Pavilion would have succeeded. After all, the Night Ghost Pavilion was already at the city gates. Even if the Sacred Palace had a trans-boundary teleportation formation in Baimo Shengzong, it was too late.
Xiao Chen did not panic as expected. Facing Mo Xie and the group of Night Ghost Pavilion experts, Xiao Chen's expression was calm. On the other hand, Mo Xie sneered.
"Xiao Chen, you didn't expect this day to come, did you?"
"I knew it. But Mo Xie, don't you think it's a little too early to be happy?"
