Chapter 273 Temporary Rest
Tang San now has no idea how to make a choice. On one side is the possibility of victory, and on the other side is his teacher. If he cannot become a god, Jialing Pass will be a chasm between him and him, but if he does not save his teacher, he would be unworthy of being a disciple. After thinking for a while, he made a decision, which is to save his teacher first, and then complete the divine test.

To complete it, he also needs to attach the spirit ring of Clear Sky Hammer so that he can go to Poseidon Island.

Originally he planned to go alone, after all, he might have to face Di Hong directly. Although he had never had a real fight with Di Hong, only a competition, he still had some understanding of his strength. Di Hong's strength was definitely above Bibi Dong's.

If he hadn't relied on the Trident of Poseidon, he probably wouldn't even be able to beat Bibi Dong, let alone Di Hong.

Just when he was about to go alone, Dai Mubai and the others found Tang San. They were the Shrek Seven Devils, and they were one. As the leader of the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai naturally would not let Tang San go alone, and besides, one more person meant more strength.

If seven of them go together, their combined strength will ultimately be greater than that of one individual. They don't believe that they can't take down Di Hong with seven against one. Even if Di Hong is powerful, their goal is just to delay time. As long as they get the herbs they want, they will retreat immediately.

Before leaving, Tang Hao taught Tang San the Haotian Sect's ring-blasting method. With this ring-blasting method, Tang San had more confidence when facing Di Hong.

This trip must go and return quickly, Yu Xiaogang can't hold on for too long.

On the wall of a city gate in the Xingluo Empire.

Di Yang held the parapet with his hands and gazed into the distance. Since the army entered the Xing Luo Empire, it has been invincible. Wherever it went, the Xing Luo army was defeated at the first touch, and even the dangerous passes were easily breached with the help of the soul masters.

However, he did not become complacent because he knew clearly that what they were facing now was not the main force of the Xing Luo Empire. The army led by Dai Yutian was still being restrained by the people of the Wuhun Empire.

At this time, Ge Long came to Di Yang and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, it will take at most half a month to get from here to Xingluo City. If we march now, we can definitely take Xingluo City before the Xingluo army can react."

Di Yang glanced at Ge Long, then looked into the distance.

"Where is Dai Yutian now?"

He did not directly agree to Gelong's plan, but asked Dai Yutian. After all, it would be useless to take Xingluo City without defeating Dai Yutian. Although taking the capital of the Xingluo Empire would deal a great blow to Xingluo, the problem was that the emperor was outside. If you take Xingluo City, Dai Yutian can besiege them from all directions.

"Your Majesty, Dai Yutian is still in a standoff with the people of the Wuhun Empire, but I think he will know it soon, or even he may have already known it."

After all, they had entered Xingluo for many days. If they still didn't know this, Dai Yutian could really go and bang his head against the wall and die. They were right. Dai Yutian did know the news that the Holy Soul Empire's army was heading south, and he also knew that many of the border passes had been breached.

Although he was very angry, his reason told him that he had to stay calm at this time. He had already sent troops to defend Xingluo City, and at the same time strengthened the defenses of the cities and passes around Xingluo City. He wanted to go fight Di Yang, but the army of the Wuhun Empire was still dealing with them. If he retreated rashly, he would definitely be stabbed in the back by the Wuhun Empire.

Fortunately, the army of the Holy Soul Empire was still some distance away from Xingluo City, and he had strengthened the defense. Even if Emperor Yang personally led a million-strong army to attack all at once, they would not be able to reach Xingluo City for a while.

Not only Dai Yutian knew the news that the Holy Soul Empire's army was heading south, but the people of the Wuhun Empire also knew it. They were not surprised, but rather somewhat happy. After all, the Holy Soul Army was right behind them, and the main forces of the Wuhun Empire were now basically on the Jialing Pass line. If the Holy Soul Empire launched an attack on them at this time, the consequences would be disastrous.

But now it's good. The Holy Soul Army has marched south to attack the Xingluo Empire. The Wuhun Empire no longer has any worries and can concentrate on destroying the Tiandou Empire.

The Tiandou Empire suffered heavy losses. If it weren't for the Haotian Sect's reinforcement, the entire army would have been wiped out. The morale in the Tiandou camp was low, and there were often deserters. All of this was seen by Di Yuan, and he also passed the news here to Di Yang.

Retracting his gaze, Di Yang patted Ge Long's shoulder.

"The army is taking a break for now."

After saying that, he left.

Golong wanted to say something, but he took it back. As the empire's marshal, he had some understanding of the current situation of the Holy Soul Army. Although they were making rapid progress, there was a serious disconnect between the front and the back. Di Yang still wanted to be safe and wait until the army reunited before attacking Xingluo City.

However, although this is safe, it also gives the Xingluo Empire time to prepare. He still wants to win the battle quickly and reach Xingluo City as quickly as possible.

This is the achievement of destroying a country, and he doesn't want to let this credit escape from his hands innocently.

However, Di Yang is the emperor, and everything is subject to his decision.

After Di Yang returned to the General's Mansion, he immediately summoned all the generals. Although he had to wait for the army to reunite, it did not mean that he would not take action during this period. He planned to take advantage of this time to capture the surrounding cities and passes and open up the road to Xingluo City.

He had his own reasons for not attacking Xingluo City now. In his opinion, there was not much significance in just taking over Xingluo City, even if it was the capital of Xingluo Kingdom.

What he wanted more was to annihilate the main force of Xing Luo, and it would be best if he could capture or kill the Xing Luo Emperor Dai Yutian alive. If the main force of Xing Luo was destroyed, then there would be nothing in the Xing Luo Empire that could stop them. As for those soul master forces, he thought that as long as those people were not stupid, they would know what to do.

Also, Xingluo City is not so easy to attack. If you want to break through Xingluo City, you will inevitably have to pay a huge price in casualties, even though they have Dugu Bo.

But Dugu Bo's poison is a city-massacre poison. Once released, Xingluo City will become a dead city. This is not what he wants. He wants territory and people's hearts. He cannot have territory without hearts.

Besides, there are so many people in Xingluo City. If they are all slaughtered at once, the people in other cities will definitely fight to the death, which will be disadvantageous to them. The Holy Soul Empire cannot be trapped here. They must destroy the Xingluo Empire as soon as possible and then return to the Jialing Pass battlefield.

Otherwise, they will be in trouble when the outcome of the battle at Jialing Pass is decided.

Judging from the information we have received so far, it is almost impossible for the Tiandou Empire to defeat the Wuhun Empire, and they can't even get through Jialing Pass.

According to the news sent back by Di Yuan, Xue Beng was seriously injured, Yu Xiaogang was shot through the heart and was relying on the soul master to keep him alive. The morale of the Tiandou army was low, Prince Xuexing was also dead, and the entire Tiandou army didn't even have someone to take charge of the overall situation.

In this situation, how could the Tiandou army possibly win? The victory of the Wuhun Empire was only a matter of time.
