Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!-Chapter 565 - 363: Advancing 3,000 Miles_2

Upon hearing this.

Nangong Chuan’s expression was subtle: "General Wang is right, this retreat of the Evil Spirit is indeed bizarre, as if trying to lure us directly in!"

As an Ancient Saint, Nangong Chuan had seen far too many conspiracies, the poor acting of the Evil Spirit naturally couldn’t escape his eyes.

If it were a normal battle between two armies, Nangong Chuan would not rashly advance, to avoid falling into a trap.

However.

The current command of the army is held by Wang Junze, he still had to heed the other’s opinion.

The latter pondered for a moment, then said: "Now we and the Evil Spirit are in a fight to the death, the battle of Tianshu Prefecture must end with the extermination of the Evil Spirit, so even if there is a conspiracy, we cannot halt our advance.

However, this battle is ultimately not fought by Taixuan Dynasty alone.

I suggest that we first advance three thousand li, then wait for other forces to join, to conduct the final decisive battle together!"

Although Wang Junze was stepping into Tianshu Prefecture for the first time, he also knew that advancing five thousand li would bring them to the Imperial City of Star Dynasty.

Therefore.

If the Evil Spirit’s side had any backup plan, it would surely be within the Imperial City.

To this.

Nangong Chuan nodded.

"Then let’s proceed according to General Wang’s suggestion, advance three thousand li first, then the army will rest on the spot, revitalizing and preparing for the final battle!"

While speaking.

Nangong Chuan looked at Wang Junze with eyes filled with admiration.

Such talent is indeed rare.

Moreover.

The other’s aptitude is not low.

At the age of merely a hundred, he had already entered the Third Layer of the Taoist Palace Realm.

This cultivation may not compare to the top prodigies of the Ancient Noble Families, but it surpasses most ordinary prodigies by far.

If nurtured, the likelihood of later breaking through to becoming Saint is considerable.

Even further.

A chance to ascend to the Great Saint Realm.

Never mind that Taixuan Dynasty’s Ancient heritage has the support of thousands of years of foundation, but any Saint is of great importance to the Dynasty.

Furthermore.

Wang Junze’s talent in military leadership is unparalleled.

Such a prodigy is much more important than other prodigies.

Hence.

Nangong Chuan had considered taking the other as a disciple.

However—

The court internal affairs are complex, despite Nangong Chuan being an Ancient Saint and having princely respect, he could not act recklessly.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, naturally there would be no issue.

But Wang Junze holds significant power, making the situation different.

Therefore.

Nangong Chuan suppressed this thought.

Subsequently.

Under Wang Junze’s orders, the Taixuan Dynasty army advanced three thousand li, while the Evil Spirit’s side seemed to entirely abandon resistance, collapsing upon encounter.

Considering this situation, Wang Junze became more certain there was something amiss.

Otherwise.

The Evil Spirit would not be utterly defenseless.

Hence, after advancing three thousand li, Wang Junze directly ordered a rest, not venturing further.

This move fell into the eyes of the Evil Spirit, leaving many frustrated yet helpless.

Meanwhile.

Other forces encountered similar situations.

Recently, the Evil Spirit’s counterattack resembled the last glimmer of hope, after one strong surge, they could no longer sustain.

However.

Many forces discovered something amiss within.

Especially when they learned that Taixuan Dynasty had advanced three thousand li before resting, they were more convinced in their thoughts.

Thus.

These forces acted with much caution, imitating Taixuan Dynasty, ceasing operations after advancing a certain distance, waiting for a true opportunity for decisive battle.

...

Divine Martial Dynasty.

Gu Xiu looked at the intelligence sent by the Jinyi Guard, and his expression subtly shifted.

"It seems the Evil Spirit is preparing for its final stand!"

After all, the Evil Spirit was so fierce earlier, yet now it directly collapses, which makes no sense.

Anyone who isn’t foolish can see that this may be the Evil Spirit’s deliberate ploy to appear weak, intending to consolidate all its strength for a last-ditch effort.

Of course.

Nothing is absolute.

Gu Xiu naturally wanted to handle this cautiously.

Yan Yun furrowed his brows: "Prince Yun’s speculation is indeed likely, since other forces stopped at advancing three thousand li, we can do the same.

Only by consolidating all the Eastern Domain’s strength can we minimize the losses of this battle!"

This battle until now.

The Divine Martial Dynasty’s thirty million troops had already suffered losses of twelve million, with countless soldiers buried here.

If the losses continue, even if victory is achieved later, it would still be a significant blow to the Divine Martial Dynasty’s Primordial Qi.

Therefore.

Yan Yun now hoped to minimize losses.

Despite the fight against the Evil Spirit being a fight to the death, it is still necessary to preserve one’s own side as much as possible in the effort to exterminate the Evil Spirit.

It is said that the merciful do not lead armies.

But Yan Yun could not just watch his men die.

This proposal received nods of agreement from others.

Gu Xiu here naturally had no reason to object.

Subsequently.

The Divine Martial Dynasty army advanced, the Evil Spirit encountered was defeated with ease, and advancing three thousand li posed very little pressure.

This advance was even easier than when the Divine Martial Dynasty first entered Star Dynasty.

Upon advancing three thousand li, Gu Xiu ordered to encamp and refrain from rash movements.

Just then.

A Jinyi Guard approached, respectfully delivering a Jade Talisman to Gu Xiu’s hand.

"Report to Prince, this is a Jade Talisman sent by Taixuan Dynasty, please inspect it!"

The latter took the Jade Talisman immediately upon hearing, then sent Divine Thought into it, and information began to emerge.

A moment later.

The Jade Talisman shattered into powder.

Yan Yun immediately asked: "Prince, what is Taixuan Dynasty’s intention?"

"Taixuan Dynasty wishes to form an Evil Extermination Alliance, hoping that I represent Divine Martial Dynasty to attend, to discuss dealing with the Evil Spirit!"

Gu Xiu paused, then spoke.

"Since Taixuan Dynasty sent the message, I shall represent Divine Martial Dynasty this time, affairs here will be temporarily entrusted to General Yan!"

"No problem... Just that Taixuan Dynasty sends messages, the Prince must remain cautious and not be careless!"

Yan Yun nodded, then issued a reminder.

Gu Xiu’s prestigious status makes him the only suitable representative of Divine Martial Dynasty, but likewise, Yan Yun worries Taixuan Dynasty might have other schemes.

Although this possibility is small, it cannot be ignored.

If something happens to Gu Xiu, Yan Yun is certain that he and others may bear inescapable responsibility.

At this time.

The always silent Emperor Extreme Great Saint spoke.

"Let me accompany you on this journey!"

"With Master accompanying, all will be secure!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiu did not decline.

Others, seeing this, breathed a sigh of relief.

As an Ancient Great Saint, Emperor Extreme Great Saint’s strength is unmatched in the entire Ancient Desolate World, and in today’s End of Dharma Era, few can genuinely threaten him.

Even if Taixuan Dynasty truly has some conspiracy, it cannot threaten Emperor Extreme Great Saint.

Then.

Emperor Extreme Great Saint handed a Dharma Decree to Yan Yun.

"This is a Dharma Decree entrusted by Mr. Gu to me. When used, simply infuse your essence and blood power into it, whereby the decree will activate against the enemy.

The power of this decree, those below Quasi Emperor level would find challenging to withstand, only use it in crucial moments!"

"Thank you, Senior!"

Yan Yun took a deep breath, respectfully accepting the Dharma Decree with trembling hands.

A decree capable of suppressing opponents below Quasi Emperor, such a remarkable treasure.

Its rarity requires no further elaboration.

However.

Yan Yun did not refuse.

He fully understood that once Gu Xiu and Emperor Extreme Great Saint departed, the court’s army would lack a top-tier expert to oversee, making any attack by powerful Evil Spirits dire.

Having this Dharma Decree prevented this possibility to the greatest extent, significantly raising safety factors.
