Deep Inside the Enemy Camp

Before Tang San could even shout, Dugu Bo, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Yang Wudi, and Xiao Wu, a total of five people, went out of the city to meet the six figures that were flying towards them at high speed, as originally planned.

Dugu Bo faced off against the Porcupinefish Douluo, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, enveloped Lingyuan Douluo with his bone dragon phantom Sword Douluo Chen Xin fought alone against Ghost Leopard Douluo and Holy Dragon Douluo. Yang Wudi's Soul Breaking Spear clashed head-on with the Snake Lance Douluo's spear. Xiao Wu's figure darted around Demon Bear Douluo, toying with this power-type Titled Douluo.

Although Yang Wudi's level was significantly lower than that of the Snake Lance Douluo, he still managed to fight the Snake Lance Douluo to a standstill thanks to the sharpness of his Soul Breaking Spear.

The others were significantly suppressed by the Heaven Dou Empire.

With her level 89 Soul Power, Xiao Wu completely overwhelmed Demon Bear Douluo. She easily dodged every heavy punch from Demon Bear Douluo, and each of her attacks left him in a sorry state.

Bibi Dong's gaze swept across the battlefield, then she turned to look at the direction of the Worship Hall behind her. "Please, six of you, make your move."

Six figures rose into the air from the tents behind the command platform, golden light and dark Soul Power intertwined, flying towards Jialing Pass.

The six guardians— Golden Crocodile, Lion, Azure Luan, Guang Ling, Qian Jun, Jiang Mo —were dispatched simultaneously.

Although Bibi Dong demanded that Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen agree not to participate in the war between the two countries, she naturally wouldn't let go of the offerings in the Worship Hall.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Heaven Dou, four figures leaped out from the city wall and met the six people from the Worship Hall.

With the Clear Sky Hammer in hand, its dark red body radiating pure killing intent, Tang Hao faced off against Golden Crocodile Douluo head-on.

Even without using the Great Sumeru Hammer, he could still force the Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was also at Level 98, to retreat repeatedly.

Tang Xiao fought alone against the two elders, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo. The Coiling Dragon Staff and Clear Sky Hammer collided in the air, producing a dense clang of metal.

Dugu Yan and Shui Bing'er joined forces to suppress the three enshrined figures, Lion, Azure Luan, and Guang Ling. Dugu Yan's Eight Spider Lances and Shui Bing'er's Frost Dragon Wings and Ice Phoenix Domain boosted their combat power to the maximum.

But Tang San instructed them not to kill, just to hold them off.

The worshippers in the Worship Hall are Qian Renxue's faction, but they are forced to join the war now that Qian Renxue is imprisoned by Bibi Dong.

It would be awkward if we killed them.

Both sides' high-level combat forces were basically tied down by the other.

On the open ground in front of Jialing Pass, the booming sound of the Soul Skills colliding made the ground tremble slightly.

However, the army of the Spirit Hall Empire was unable to break through the city wall's defenses, and was forced to retreat every time they approached.

Seeing that her side was being suppressed and unable to leverage the advantages of the Soul Master Legion, Bibi Dong realized that this couldn't go on.

Moreover, Tang San has not yet made a move.

Bibi Dong knew that if she took action herself, Tang San would definitely do the same.

However, the two had clashed once in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the result of that battle made her realize that Tang San was no longer an opponent she could easily defeat.

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth and raised her hand to signal a retreat.

The sound of retreat echoed through the Spirit Hall Empire's ranks, and the various Soul Masters and armies began to withdraw in an orderly fashion, returning to their camps.

For three consecutive days, the Spirit Hall Empire did not launch any further attacks on the city, but instead arrayed its troops on the plains to challenge the enemy. However, the Heaven Dou Empire remained holed up inside the pass and refused to engage in battle.

Bibi Dong tried various siege tactics: frontal assault, flanking maneuvers, night raids, and Soul Master attacks. But Tang San's defenses were like an iron wall, and every attack was blocked.

In these three days, Tang San has found a way to rescue Qian Renxue.

In the past three days, Tang San has found a way to rescue Qian Renxue.

That is, by using the dual disguise skills of the Eye of Destruction and the Life Domain, he transformed into Zhang San's appearance, infiltrated the Spirit Hall Empire's military camp, and searched for and rescued Qian Renxue.

After informing several high-ranking officials and Shui Bing'er of his plan, Tang San went alone to the rear of the Spirit Hall Empire.

He stopped under an old tree and activated the disguise skill of his External Soul Bone, "Eye of Destruction." To be even safer, Tang San added another layer of disguise: the Life Domain.

A moment later, Tang San, who had been standing in the same spot, was gone, replaced by a person who looked exactly like Zhang San.

After confirming that every detail matched his impression of Zhang San, Tang San quietly blended into the night and headed towards the rear of the Spirit Hall Empire's military camp.

He hijacked a warhorse and then galloped towards the Spirit Hall Empire's military camp.

As dawn broke, Tang San caught up with a grain transport convoy.

"Stop!" the escort officer shouted, halting Tang San's movement.

Before the escort officer could speak, Tang San shouted angrily, "Are you blind? This Holy Son doesn't even recognize you!"

Upon recognizing the newcomer, the escort officer's expression immediately changed. "Your Holy Son, I was blind to Holy Son greatness. Please forgive me."

Tang San waved his hand and ordered, "This Holy Son has come all the way from Spirit City to the front lines to meet Her Majesty the Empress. Take me to the commander's tent now."

The escort officer dared not say another word, and quickly bowed respectfully, saying, "Your subordinate obeys, and will escort you into the camp immediately."

The convoy continued on its way and soon entered the camp of the Spirit Hall Empire army.

The scene inside the camp was far larger than what Tang San had seen from the top of Jialing Pass.

The tents stood one after another, neatly arranged, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The passageways between the tents were bustling with people: fully armed patrols, logistical support soldiers, and messengers hurrying about.

When the soldiers and officers saw Tang San riding on his warhorse, they all saluted and greeted him.

As you venture deeper into the camp, the commander's tent becomes visible to the naked eye.

Tang San immediately dismounted and walked straight towards the commander's tent.

The guards outside the command tent glanced at Tang San, recognized him, and immediately lifted the tent flap.

Tang San took a deep breath, adjusting his expression to one that was calm yet somewhat cold and hard, which was his consistent impression of Zhang San.

He stepped into the command tent.

The interior of the commander's tent appeared more spacious than the exterior.

The floor was covered with a thick carpet, and a long military sand table was placed in the center.

Bibi Dong was standing in front of the long table, with Hu Liena standing beside her. Hu Liena's short orange hair was beautiful and charming. The two of them were looking at the sand table with serious expressions, as if they were thinking of some plan.

The moment Tang San entered the command tent, Bibi Dong and Hu Liena looked up.

Both of them were startled at the same time. When Hu Liena saw who it was, her serious expression immediately disappeared, replaced by a heartfelt joy.

"Disciple greets Master!"

"Xiao San, why aren't you in Spirit City for the Divine Examination? What are you doing on the front lines?"

Bibi Dong asked in confusion.

Tang San's heart skipped a beat.

What?! Zhang San is also taking the Divine Examination?! This is absolutely mind-blowing news!

Unexpectedly, even that Little Scumbag passed the Divine Examination; the future situation is far more complicated than he anticipated.

What kind of Divine Examination could Little Scumbag possibly pass? It wouldn't be that bastard Asura God, would it?

Tang San didn't reveal any flaws on his face. He simply bowed slightly and made up a story in a natural tone. "Reporting to Master, I just finished the Fourth Trial and wanted to see Senior Sister. But when I heard that you had all come to the front lines, I came to see you all as well."

After speaking, he turned his head slightly and glanced at the alluring Hu Liena beside him, his gaze carrying just the right amount of gentleness.

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena blushed instantly, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a wide smile.

Having known Zhang San for so many years, he has always been a cold and restrained person, but today he seems like a completely different person.

She thought to herself: This blockhead, why is he suddenly taking the initiative, and saying such cheesy things? But I like it!
