Chapter 37 Balance
After the Tiandou Empire escaped on a snowy night, the morale of the army gradually weakened, but they still fought resolutely until the evening. Finally, they could not hold on any longer and chose to retreat.

The Xingluo Empire did not choose to pursue, and although the Tiandou army retreated, their formation remained in order, with each legion taking turns to cover their retreat.

Although they won, the Xing Luo Empire also suffered heavy losses, especially in terms of soul masters. Half of their soul masters died in this battle, including the only soul master at the Soul Saint level.

After fighting for a day, it seemed that Xingluo won, but in fact they did not win.

Dai Yutian, who was chasing Xue Ye for a distance, stopped chasing. After all, Di Yang was with Xue Ye. Although his soul power level was not as good as Di Hong, he was still no match for the other party.

At this moment, he only hated that he was not strong enough, otherwise Xue Ye would have been his possession long ago.

After all the troops retreated to the military camp, Xue Ye immediately convened a military meeting.

Seeing everyone's depressed look, Xue Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"The failure of this battle is not your fault, but mine alone. If I hadn't underestimated the Xing Luo Empire, perhaps we wouldn't have failed."

"Thanks to the rescue of the Fourth Prince of Silvester and the protection of the Crown Prince, I was able to escape the disaster."

Xue Ye took responsibility for all the mistakes, which made the generals feel relieved and in a much better mood, especially the generals of the affiliated kingdoms. If the blame was put on them, they would have no place to cry.

Once the Empire blames them, the Kingdom will definitely execute them. After all, it is better to kill a general to appease the Empire's anger than to offend the Empire.

The generals also looked at the brothers Di Hong and Di Yang. These two saved Xue Ye today and saved him from danger. This was a great feat. If Xue Ye became emperor in the future, these two would definitely be valued.

Even if they are princes of the kingdom.

Everyone knows that the Kingdom of Silvestre supports Xue Ye.

Except for the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, all the three kingdoms that came here supported Xue Ye. When fighting on the battlefield today, the two kingdoms fought extremely hard. They did not want Xue Ye to fail.

Next, Xue Ye arranged their respective tasks. If nothing unexpected happens, today’s battle should be the last one. There shouldn’t be any large-scale confrontations in the future. They just have to wait for the two empires to negotiate.

In fact, when Xue Ye led his army to war, the Spirit Hall invited the two empires to go to the Spirit City to negotiate and calm the war.

If we calculate the time, the envoys from the two empires are probably about to arrive.

Therefore, if the war continues, it will only be disadvantageous to the Xingluo Empire. They have entered the Tiandou Empire to fight, and logistics are very difficult. The defenders of Yelin City and the Barak Kingdom have been harassing their logistics supply lines.

Next, they just need to hold on, and then withdraw their troops after the negotiations are over.

After walking out of the big tent, Di Hong looked up at the sky. The setting sun was blood red. In the distance, the green mountains were undulating like waves in the sea. The wind blowing across the Lima Plain brought a strong smell of blood. After a day of fighting today, both sides suffered heavy losses.

The number of casualties has not yet been counted, but it is estimated to be considerable.

"Fourth brother, you have performed a great deed in today's battle. You saved Crown Prince Xue Ye and killed the Soul Saint of the Xing Luo Empire."

"I estimate that it won't be long before your reputation spreads."

Di Yang smiled as he looked at his younger brother beside him. He was probably the most dazzling one in today's battle. Relying on the strength of a Soul Emperor, he managed to kill the Soul Saint of the Xing Luo Empire.

A soul power gap of thirteen levels.

"Merit doesn't matter. So many soldiers fought to the death, and their merit is the greatest. Fame will only tire people. There are many people who are burdened by fame." Di Hong didn't care. To him, these were all empty and useless.

After returning to Silvester's camp, Di Yang asked another question.

"Fourth brother, why are you suddenly so interested in Prince Xue Ye?"

"Today, I fought a Soul Sage in order to save him."

"You wouldn't be like this before." After looking outside and making sure there was no one around, Di Hong whispered, "Nothing, I'm just afraid he'll die. If he dies, we'll be the ones in trouble."

"Besides, the battlefield is a place where people are tempered. It is rare to have the opportunity to fight against a Soul Saint on the battlefield."

"You also know that I have very little combat experience."

For seven years, he had basically been practicing. Apart from hunting soul beasts, he seldom fought with others and had only participated in one soul fighting match. The war between the two empires this time just gave him such an opportunity.

When fighting with Zong Yan, he clearly felt his own shortcomings. If it weren't for the advantages of his martial soul and innate domain, he would definitely have to waste some time with Zong Yan.

Today was also his first time killing someone, but he did not feel as uncomfortable as he had imagined. On the contrary, he felt indifferent, as if it was nothing at all.

Di Yang nodded, and then asked: "What do you think of Xue Ye and the Tiandou Empire?"

"Do you think Xue Ye will succeed?"

"Yes." Di Hong was very sure.

Then, he walked to the entrance of the big tent, closed it, and sat back in front of Di Yang.

"Brother, what do you think of the Tiandou Empire?" His voice was very soft, so soft that only the two of them could hear it.

"I don't have any opinion. What opinion could I have?" Di Yang smiled. He didn't understand why his younger brother would ask such a nonsensical question.

"Okay, just tell me what you want to say. I'm your biological brother, how can I harm you?"

"Okay." Di Hong stopped beating around the bush.

He spoke his true thoughts.

"Brother, I want to change the current situation on the mainland."

Di Yang looked at him in confusion and motioned for him to continue.

Di Hong continued: "Brother, you have also seen that the current situation on the continent is a three-way confrontation. The Spirit Hall can still maintain the balance of the continent, but what about in the future?"

"Qianxunji is not Qiandaoliu."

"What kind of person do you think Qianxunji is?"

"I don't know." Di Yang shook his head. He had never seen Qian Xunji, so naturally he didn't know what kind of person he was.

If it weren't for this war, when the Spirit Hall replaced the Pope, the two empires would definitely have sent people to congratulate them, but this time the Pope's accession to the throne was very dull.

"I heard that Qianxunji is a person who is not content with the status quo."

"So I think the balance of the continent will definitely be disrupted in the next few decades."

"Our kingdoms will definitely be affected by then."

“So I wanted to change that.”

He couldn't directly tell Di Yang that in the next few decades, the Spirit Hall would launch a war of unification and break the balance of the continent. Of course, the initiator of this war was not Qian Xunji, but Bibi Dong. After all, in the future, the Secret Chamber Douluo would be beaten up by Tang Hao, and would be killed by Bibi Dong after returning seriously injured.

But he could only tell Di Yang that the balance of the continent would definitely be broken.
