Chapter 240: Proposal to Relocate the Sect
As soon as he finished speaking, Dai Weis unleashed his spirit fusion technique and handed the unconscious Ghost Leopard Douluo over to the Clear Sky Sect disciples for guarding.
Then, he leaped onto a black-scaled horse, turned his head, and asked with concern, "Zhuyun, Zhuqing, are you all okay?"
"Hey, we're fine now!" Zhu Zhuyun stretched her body and clenched her fists, as if filled with infinite strength.
Zhu Zhuqing also said, "Brother Weis, it's the same for me. With Sister Xiaohui helping us recover our spirit strength, my sister and I both have plenty!"
"Okay, then, come with me and chase them out. We can't let Yue Guan and the others get away. I'll explain the reason along the way."
"Okay."
The two sisters responded, and, riding their horses and swords, they rode out with Dai Weis, leading the remaining White Tiger Legion at a rapid gallop, moving like the wind toward Spirit City.
Ning Tianyu followed closely behind. Although she was originally a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Sect, after joining the Star Luo Royal Academy, she also learned how to gallop on horseback and how to fight with a sword.
To make a good impression on Dai Weis and also to enhance the attributes of Dai Weis and the other two, Ning Tianyu also mounted a black-scaled horse and followed behind the soldiers, chasing after the spirit master army led by Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo.
Inside Clear Sky Castle, Zhu Yaqin looked puzzled and asked, "Husband, haven't Yue Douluo and the others retreated? There is an ambush arranged by Dean Lin ahead. Why did you let Weis and the others chase them out? If anything happens to them, it will be bad."
Dai Pojun shook his head and explained, "Wife, you don't understand! Now our situation is very good. The tens of thousands of spirit masters of the Spirit Hall have been beaten back by us and are in disarray.
When we won this great victory, we did not pursue the victory. Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo, and the others are not fools. They will definitely find it strange.
Maybe they will send scouts to investigate our strength and even suspect us. They will split up their forces ahead of time and set up an ambush on their retreat route.
That would ruin all our plans. Now that I've got Weis and the others leading their troops, closely following Yue Douluo, they won't overthink things and will simply advance at full speed, hoping to evade the White Tiger Legion's pursuit.
This will inevitably lead them into our ambush, and the Spirit Hall forces will inevitably suffer further damage!"
Zhu Yaqin's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "So that's how it is!"
Dai Pojun was not only the Star Luo Emperor but also the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Familiar with the art of war since childhood, he could easily grasp human nature. In all the battles he commanded, there were generally more victories than defeats.
"But my dear, if Yue Douluo and the others don't play by the book and turn around and attack the White Tigers with all their might, wouldn't that be the end of us?" Zhu Yaqin asked worriedly. "While their Star Luo Holy Tigers are formidable, I'm afraid they're no match for three Titled Douluos."
"Haha, that's why I told Weis to pursue them, not attack them." Dai Pojun stroked his thin beard and chuckled. "I told Weis to lead the White Tigers and keep a distance of twenty miles from the Spirit Hall troops. This is to prevent Yue Douluo from getting desperate and engaging Weis and the others in a desperate struggle.
Twenty miles isn't too far, but it's not too close either. As long as Weis doesn't let the White Tigers get close to them, I don't think Yue Douluo will resort to such desperate measures."
"I see..." Zhu Yaqin nodded slightly, feeling she had learned a lot.
"But we can't underestimate the enemy just yet. So, once we've recovered some spirit power, we'll catch up to them."
After a pause, Dai Pojun's expression showed excitement, as if he had already witnessed the devastating defeat of the Spirit Hall troops.
"As long as the Spirit Hall troops fall into our ambush, we will be able to catch them off guard! When they are panicking, we will press them from behind and sandwich cheese between two pieces of bread. It is not impossible to wipe out the Spirit Hall troops!"
"Hahaha, His Majesty is worthy of being the Emperor. This is a brilliant plan!" the third elder laughed.
"Not bad."
Upon learning of Dai Pojun's plan, Tang Xiao nodded in satisfaction. At least he couldn't find fault with it.
As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties. When it comes to marching and fighting, he, the head of a sect, was truly no match for Dai Pojun.
"If that's the case, Your Majesty, then once we've recovered our spirit power, we'll go too. The Spirit Hall has killed so many of us, we can't just let it go!"
Tang Xiao shouted indignantly. He glanced at the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect and saw that after more than twenty days of fighting, the Clear Sky Sect's spirit masters had been reduced to fewer than five hundred.
The Clear Sky Sect, arguably the world's foremost sect, now had fewer than five hundred spirit masters left. Wouldn't that be a laughingstock if word got out?
Furthermore, two of the five titled elders had been killed, and he, the head of the sect, had even lost an arm. And all this was at the hands of the Spirit Hall. Tang Xiao certainly couldn't swallow this humiliation.
Seeing Tang Xiao's determination, Dai Pojun immediately nodded and agreed. "Alright, since Sect Master Tang is so interested, then we will go together. However, Sect Master, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
Although Tang Xiao was no longer a Titled Douluo, he was still the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, and he still had to give him due respect.
"Your Majesty, please feel free to speak."
"After this battle, the Clear Sky Sect was severely damaged, and even Clear Sky Fortress is now in ruins. Has Sect Master Tang considered relocating the Clear Sky Sect to the Star Luo Empire?"
"Oh, this..." Tang Xiao was stunned, looking at the ruined Clear Sky Fortress, feeling a surge of emotion.
Clear Sky Fortress, which had stood for so many years, had been reduced to ruins under his own hands. Tang Xiao felt ashamed of his ancestor Tang Chen and his father's cultivation and high hopes for him!
"I know this may not please you, Sect Master, but the Clear Sky Sect has suffered heavy losses. If the Spirit Hall launches another night raid, we won't be able to rescue them in time.
This is, after all, Heaven Dou Empire territory, and we can't maintain a permanent garrison to protect your safety. Therefore, I urge you to make early plans for the future of the Clear Sky Sect."
Tang Xiao sighed and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reminder. I will consider it."
Dai Pojun's lips curled slightly. If the Clear Sky Sect relocated to the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo would already have seven Titled Douluos.
Glancing at Ghost Leopard Douluo beside him, Dai Pojun's smile widened. After draining Ghost Leopard Douluo's soul power, his wife, Zhu Yaqin, would also be promoted to Titled Douluo. This would bring the Star Luo Empire to eight Titled Douluos.
Add to that a vast army of hundreds of thousands, and they would be enough to rival the Spirit Hall! Under his leadership, the Star Luo Empire would rise to prominence.
...
Elsewhere, Dai Weis, realizing his father's intentions, remained unhurried, following behind the Spirit Hall troops.
He also dispatched scouts to clear the way ahead, preventing Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo from setting traps. He also instructed the White Tigers to arm their artillery and prepare for battle!
Previously, on the mountaintops, with chain bridges connecting peaks, the White Tigers were afraid to use artillery. Now, on the plains, this actually worked in their favor; they could fire with all their might!
