White Tiger Sect! Chrysanthemum-Ghost Douluo Arrive!

If Dai Yunzhao could truly save Dugu Bo, then it would not be impossible for the grandfather and granddaughter to join the Star Luo Empire.

Dugu Bo had always been a loner.

He had no real sense of belonging toward the Heaven Dou Empire.

The only people he could be said to care about were Dugu Yan and Prince Xue Xing.

This time, when Dugu Bo returned to seek reinforcements, he had already repaid Prince Xue Xing's favor.

There was nothing wrong with the grandfather and granddaughter joining the Star Luo Empire from now on!

Dugu Yan immediately dropped to her knees. "Your Highness, as long as you can save my grandfather, I can persuade him."

Only then did Dai Yunzhao nod.

With Dugu Bo, they would have three Title Douluo.

Moreover, both Pufferfish Douluo and Poison Douluo could exert an enormous influence on the battlefield.

Star Luo had a million-strong army. With Soul Masters from across the land coming to join them, there was no fear that they could not rise to power.

Dai Yunzhao straightened his sleeves.

"Let's go, everyone. It's time to take a look at the front lines."

The outcome would be decided during this period.

Dai Yunzhao could not grow complacent just because they had slaughtered these people within White Tiger Pass.

True success meant breaking through Heaven Dou's gates and bringing most of the Star Luo soldiers safely home.

By now, Star Luo Empire's reinforcements should have arrived!

Although the Heaven Dou Empire possessed more powerful sects, they could only surpass the Star Luo Empire in terms of quality.

And those sects might not necessarily obey orders!

The Star Luo Empire was different. It was completely united. When the imperial family called, most Soul Masters answered!

Under such circumstances, a group of Soul Masters reached the outskirts of White Tiger Pass at an incredibly terrifying speed.

Two Title Douluo, along with Prince Xue Xing and Qian Renxue, were enough for Dai Yunzhao to negotiate with the other side.

Within the Star Luo Empire stood a sect known as the White Tiger Sect.

At that moment, the White Tiger Sect Master personally led a mount over to Dai Yunzhao.

It was a mutated white tiger!

It had been born with purple eyes, their pupils vertical!

Such a white tiger was indeed rather rare.

Dai Yunzhao swung himself onto the white tiger's back.

"You've been most thoughtful, Sect Master."

The White Tiger Sect Master immediately bowed. "I would brave death ten thousand times over to ease Your Highness's burdens."

Dai Yunzhao pointed ahead.

"Half of you will follow me at full speed. We must catch up with the main force before dawn!"

"The remaining half will wait until everyone inside is dead, then clear out White Tiger Pass and garrison it."

"Be ready at all times to receive the vanguard and incoming reinforcements!"

The White Tiger Sect had originally descended from the same lineage as the Star Luo Imperial Family.

This branch indeed held considerable influence within the Star Luo Empire.

But under the current circumstances, they could only stand united against external enemies!

Even if they wished to return to the main family, they would not dare meddle with imperial power at such a time.

Leaving aside the still-living Star Luo Emperor, they might not even be able to handle the Dai Yunzhao before them.

The White Tiger Sect Master bowed and spoke. "Your Highness possesses a body worth a thousand gold pieces. Why not let me go to the front while Your Highness remains to guard White Tiger Pass?"

Dai Yunzhao patted the White Tiger Sect Master on the shoulder.

"You and I share the same bloodline. By seniority, I should call you Uncle, but this is a contest between the Crown Prince of Star Luo!"

"No matter what, I must go to this battle!"

Dai Yunzhao's words carried an authority and sharpness that permitted no doubt.

The White Tiger Sect Master immediately withdrew.

"A true man should be like this!"

Dai Yunzhao turned around and led the assets at his side, along with over half the Soul Masters. After the flames gradually subsided, they crossed over corpse after corpse and departed White Tiger Pass.

Standing atop the city wall, the White Tiger Sect Master watched Dai Yunzhao depart in the distance and let out a long breath. "I once believed that the main branch had no particularly outstanding figures in this generation. It seems my vision was too shallow."

The courage and ability Dai Yunzhao had displayed were things even their older generation had never possessed.

There was even less need to mention those collateral branches of the White Tiger Sect.

From now on, the White Tiger Sect would only be a fiercely loyal minister supporting the realm!

They had thought that since Dai Yunzhao's four brothers were all dead, they would have a chance.

But...

At this moment, Dai Yunzhao could lead the Star Luo Empire to greater heights!

They had also witnessed that Shadow warrior's abilities.

Even if they developed rebellious thoughts now, Dai Yunzhao could still return alive.

And when that time came, Dai Yunzhao's blade would show no mercy!

At that moment, the White Tiger Sect Master methodically arranged everything.

It was not just him. After seeing the scene within White Tiger Pass, the sect Soul Masters who had come from throughout the Star Luo Empire all put away their disloyal thoughts.

Especially those who had previously wanted to defect to Spirit Hall—now, there was only fear in their hearts!

The two armies met one hundred li north of the Heaven Dou border.

Marshal Ge Long personally led his army against Xiong Ao!

Xiong Ao tied Prince Xue Xing to a war chariot and pushed forward. No one dared act rashly.

The moment anyone tried to rush over and rescue Prince Xue Xing, Xiong Ao would order a swift retreat while having the rescuers shot full of arrows.

Even those Soul Douluo were lured into the army's trap by Xiong Ao's feigned weakness and slowly exhausted to death!

Marshal Ge Long stood within the fortress and heavily slammed his fist against the wall.

"Where did these Star Luo Empire people learn such sorcery? Their deployments completely defy common sense!"

Ning Fengzhi beside him also nodded slightly.

These Star Luo Empire commanders truly wielded their troops like gods.

It would have been understandable if there were only one such commander, but every single one of them was this formidable. That made no sense!

Sword Douluo stood there, Soul Power drifting around his brows and eyes.

"Marshal Ge Long had me escort the provisions, yet even so, they burned more than half of them!"

"The supplies inside the fortress will not last ten days. If the battle drags on any longer, we'll have to make another trip."

Ning Fengzhi looked down thoughtfully.

He had yet to state his position!

Marshal Ge Long looked at Ning Fengzhi.

"Sect Master Ning, say something. This situation is already beyond what I can handle alone!"

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly. "We are truly passive at the moment. We can only see whether His Highness Qinghe and the others have taken White Tiger Pass."

"If they can take White Tiger Pass, they can cut off the Star Luo army from both front and rear. Then none of our current disadvantages will matter."

Dugu Bo, standing nearby, wore a face as dark as blood.

The first thing he did after returning was head to the tent where he had previously settled Dugu Yan.

Prince Xue Xing had failed to watch over Dugu Yan!

Dugu Bo had risked his life for Heaven Dou, yet his granddaughter had vanished.

Dugu Bo had no idea whether Dugu Yan was alive or dead!

In his eyes, Dugu Yan was a hundred times more important than his own life.

If anything had happened to Dugu Yan, he would turn around and wipe out the entire Heaven Dou army!

Even if it cost him his old life, he would not hesitate.

The battle continued until dawn.

During that time, Ning Fengzhi and the others did not dare close their eyes.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had only Yu Yuanzhen as a Title Douluo, making it far too difficult to request aid from them.

Furthermore, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's attachment to Heaven Dou was not that strong.

And they were currently wrangling with the Clear Sky Sect over Yu Xiaogang's matter!

The whole of Heaven Dou resembled a sieve leaking from every side.

But...

The next moment, a group of people walked onto the city wall.

The two leading them were both Title Douluo!

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan!

Ghost Douluo Gui Mei!

Chrysanthemum Douluo raised his hand, his voice gentle. "It seems you need a little help!"
