Prince Xue Xing traveled with a thousand guards protecting him.

He sat inside a carriage, making his way toward the battlefield.

It was not that he did not want to move faster; moving faster would have been useless!

The eastern front had already collapsed. He needed time to sort everything out.

If he rushed in without knowing anything, he would easily be throwing his life away.

If he became a prisoner, it would be extremely detrimental to the war effort.

He had to proceed more steadily!

Inside the carriage, Prince Xue Xing flipped through the military reports.

Almost every ten-odd minutes, someone delivered another report before him!

The speed at which he handled them could not keep up with the speed of the rout.

Prince Xue Xing could not help rubbing his forehead.

"How could they have collapsed so quickly..."

He knew Dai Yunzhao was formidable, but he had never expected him to be this formidable!

With his entire fortune staked on the battlefield, the Heaven Dou army had nearly been surrounded and slaughtered where it stood.

Prince Xue Xing no longer intended to read the military reports.

If he kept reading, then by the time he arrived, the eastern front would be beyond saving!

He wanted to step out of the carriage, but...

A shadow flashed inside the carriage!

Prince Xue Xing sensed that something was wrong and tried to cry for help.

But a hand had already pressed down on his shoulder!

A Black Armor Warrior sat quietly at his side!

Opposite him sat the absurdly young Crown Prince of Star Luo!

Dai Yunzhao!

Dai Yunzhao's voice was soft. "Prince Xue Xing, you really made us chase you for quite a while!"

Prince Xue Xing's voice was hoarse.

"Dai Yunzhao, even if you capture me, it will be useless. Once White Tiger Pass falls, what can you do?"

Dai Yunzhao sneered.

"An empty pass is yours if you want it. Capturing you and Xue Qinghe is the greatest bargaining chip!"

"One is a prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the other is Spirit Hall's second generation!"

"Prince Xue Xing, what terms do you think I should demand?"

Prince Xue Xing finally understood where that letter had come from.

Gritting his teeth, Prince Xue Xing said, "Despicable. You actually used false information to drive a wedge between us!"

Dai Yunzhao wagged a finger.

"All warfare is based on deception. This is war!"

Those words left Prince Xue Xing speechless.

Dai Yunzhao immediately added, "Did you forget? I said he was Spirit Hall's second generation. Who told you that letter contained false information?"

Prince Xue Xing froze completely.

That information was true...

Xue Qinghe really was Qian Renxue!

Dai Yunzhao let out a breath. "The carriage stops here. We still need to return to the central camp and find Qian Renxue!"

Shadow raised a hand and knocked Prince Xue Xing unconscious. The three of them vanished into the shadows.

Within the shadows, Shadow frantically tied up Prince Xue Xing.

His technique was unbelievably practiced!

Dai Yunzhao spoke quietly. "Shadow, did you have some side job before this? How are you so skilled?"

Shadow looked up and answered woodenly, "Practice makes perfect."

What the hell did he mean, practice makes perfect?!

Could someone really become skilled at something like this?

After Shadow tied up Prince Xue Xing, the three headed for the central army's main tent.

The Heaven Dou soldiers on the eastern front had been waiting for Prince Xue Xing to take command.

But they would not be seeing him!

Prince Xue Xing had already been bound!

The central army launched a frenzied assault at Three Gorges Pass.

Relying on Three Gorges Pass, the Star Luo soldiers repelled their opponents wave after wave!

Pufferfish Douluo's voice was grim. "We cannot hold back any longer. We must break through Three Gorges Pass quickly!"

He and Snake Lance Douluo swiftly breached the pass!

But...

There were no soldiers following behind them.

They did not merely need to seize White Tiger Pass; they needed White Tiger Pass to truly become theirs.

With only the two of them...

They could not hold it!

Snake Lance Douluo She Long said, "Forget them. Dai Yunzhao is what matters now!"

Pufferfish Douluo spoke softly. "It is not yet the agreed time. We need someone to hold the pass."

"Capture or kill Dai Yunzhao, seize White Tiger Pass, and leave the Star Luo soldiers completely rootless. That is the true great merit."

"The two of us might even be able to advance another step!"

This was an enormous achievement.

Once Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire merged into one, this battle would become the decisive battle that determined the realm!

Their statuses would rise accordingly.

There might not be a higher position in the Worship Hall, but what about the future Spirit Hall Empire?

Pufferfish Douluo's words suppressed Snake Lance Douluo's urge to head to White Tiger Pass alone.

The two turned back again and charged into Three Gorges Pass!

But...

The more they fought, the more something felt wrong!

Pufferfish Douluo's voice turned icy. "Is this all the troops at Three Gorges Pass? Where did the rest of the soldiers go?"

Dai Yunzhao had always stationed heavy forces at Three Gorges Pass!

Yet now, Three Gorges Pass was being torn apart at an astonishing speed!

Snake Lance Douluo spoke softly. "The two of us are currently displaying the strength of peak Soul Douluos, so naturally it feels easy."

"Besides, our army suddenly launched a counterattack. It is normal that they could not react in time."

The armies on all three fronts were fighting.

Unlike the central army, the pressure on both flanks surged dramatically!

They suffered defeat after defeat and could not halt their downward spiral at all.

Report after report landed on Xue Qinghe's command desk, and her expression was terrifyingly grim.

Every report that arrived brought news of defeat!

Xue Qinghe gritted her teeth.

"Gather the remnants from both flanks and have them reinforce the central army. Break through Three Gorges Pass!"

Kill Dai Yunzhao, cut off White Tiger Pass, and everything could still be salvaged!

Xue Qinghe's order was carried out by scouts.

She sat back down at the table, utterly exhausted.

"What exactly did this Dai Yunzhao do?"

Tonight, she had already prepared a counterattack plan, yet aside from the two Title Douluos at Three Gorges Pass, the counterattacks on all three fronts had been almost completely crushed!

The Star Luo Empire's generals suddenly seemed as though every one of them understood warfare.

Each of them had become a peerless commander!

Xue Qinghe felt as if she were trading blows with dozens of masters.

Every single master overwhelmed her!

How was she supposed to play this?

At that moment, the shadows within the tent swayed!

They swayed quite noticeably!

Xue Qinghe abruptly rose to her feet and looked up warily.

"Who?!"

Before her words had even fallen, a figure appeared before her.

"Storm Nebula Split!!!"

One purple and two black Soul Rings instantly struck before her eyes!

She raised her head and roared, "You're courting death!"

At that moment, she no longer cared about maintaining any disguise.

How could she tolerate this young figure charging straight at her?

"First Soul Skill, Angel Assault!"

A holy radiance flared, shooting straight toward Dai Yunzhao!

"You've got some nerve, coming alone to raid my camp!"

Qian Renxue's Soul Power Level was, after all, that of a Soul Sage.

No matter how powerful Dai Yunzhao's Soul Skill was, he could not withstand it in an instant!

Storm Nebula Split and Angel Assault canceled each other out, shattering the command desk before Qian Renxue.

Hearing the commotion, those outside the tent tried to rush in.

But Qian Renxue immediately barked, "Nobody move!"

Dai Yunzhao stood where he was and rolled his wrist.

"What a fine move, old lady. As expected of Qian Daoliu of Spirit Hall's granddaughter!"

Qian Renxue instantly bristled.

Old lady?!
