"Don’t chase a cornered enemy; driving them to desperation does us no good."
Sikong Jing stood on the deck and spoke calmly, "With the losses of the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army in this battle, they no longer pose a threat to Nidao City. But if they fight desperately, we will lose many, many people."
Upon hearing this, everyone hesitated for a mont before heavily nodding to accept the order.
Now, the authority of Sikong Jing was fully established through this battle, and everyone was convinced, naturally following his lead.
Leaders like Sect Master Zhang had no doubts; what the Dark Wing Commander said was final!
Thus, under the command of the core figures of Nidao Sect, the troops of Nidao City orderly retreated toward Nidao City!
At this mont, Shi Douxing, accompanied by Ah Gun and others, boarded the Divine Shuttle Ship, and the forr asked, "Dark Wing, my friend, why not pursue? If the Willow Leaf reinforcents are sufficient, we..."
Before finishing, Sikong Jing interrupted heavily and replied with a bitter smile, "It’s fake; not many Willow Leaf reinforcents have arrived."
Sikong Jing naturally knew what Shi Douxing wanted to ask, and clearly understood the unwillingness in Shi Douxing’s heart.
Clearly, if they pursued, they might completely annihilate the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army!
If there were enough Willow Leaf reinforcents, taking out the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army would be straightforward.
But, the true Willow Leaf reinforcents hadn’t arrived in large numbers, unable to destroy the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army quickly.
Indeed, when Shi Douxing heard this, he asked, sowhat stunned, "Fake, fake?"
He was not a general, just a sect master, unfamiliar with battlefield strategies.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let Sikong Jing be the commander directly.
Sikong Jing nodded and replied, "If there were enough Willow Leaf reinforcents, they wouldn’t spread out to sing the Willow Leaf Song; they would surround and destroy the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army directly for simplicity."
"If there were many Willow Leaf soldiers, I wouldn’t have needed Sect Master Shi to break Changyong Emperor’s Spiritual Shadow Power."
As the voice fell, Shi Douxing suddenly understood, and then he stupidly stared at Sikong Jing...
It turned out he was just frightening the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army, and they were really scared away.
Sikong Jing first used the deaths of the two Emperors to deter the enemy’s whole army, then scared them with the Willow Leaf Song from all directions, successfully frightening them, even if Changyong Emperor and others didn’t believe or even saw through it.
But with the morale shattered, they had to retreat.
Seeing Shi Douxing and others in disbelief, Sikong Jing further explained in detail...
"Moreover, we can’t chase Changyong Emperor too far, otherwise he’ll leave our control, and as soon as a ssage is sent, strong Holy Martial Stage individuals will respond."
"It’s possible they will imdiately turn their troops and attack Nidao City; the Holy Martial Stage might strike directly."
"At that point, Nidao City would truly be finished!"
This made Shi Douxing understand why they couldn’t pursue, realizing that Changyong Emperor and the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army were likely just escaping to find a place nearby to rest.
This way, Nidao City can control their communication.
If pursued too aggressively, forcing Changyong Emperor to abandon the Qianyuan Holy Demon Soldiers, they’d truly be beyond their control.
And once news reached Young Master Yu Po and Lord Pei Chang, Nidao City would fall!
"But, Dark Wing Commander, can you truly ensure Changyong Emperor won’t escape our control?" At this mont, Shi Douxing’s disciple Ah Gun asked with so doubt, feeling this seed difficult to achieve.
It’s possible that even without pursuing, Changyong Emperor might escape Nidao City’s control.
Sikong Jing took a deep breath and said, "So we must take further action. We need to continue scaring them, imdiately dispatching a large number of troops disguised as Willow Leaf reinforcents to block their path completely."
Upon hearing this, Shi Douxing and Ah Gun were shaken to their core.
Sending a large group to continue singing the Willow Leaf Song throughout the forest, scaring the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army into finding a place to rest, forcing them to remain within Nidao City’s control area.
After a brief discussion, a plan and map were devised, and Shi Douxing began executing!
They split into ten groups and entered the surrounding forest, frightening the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army along their escape route, deploying enough people to deceived Changyong Emperor’s Spiritual Shadow Power.
It’s still because Willow Leaf reinforcents are too few, otherwise, it wouldn’t be this troubleso.
Of course, Willow Leaf reinforcents would collaborate with Little Demon Beasts controlled by the Split Armor Flying Scorpion, continually scaring Changyong Emperor.
Thus, after half a day passed, the Qianyuan Holy Demon Army, already terrified, scattered like headless chickens in the forest, finally finding an easily defensible location to camp.
They ford a Great Array and adopted a defensive stance.
In other words, Changyong Emperor halted in a mountain forest outside Nidao City, transitioning from previous aggression to current defense!
They were terrified and were on high alert for the joint attack of Willow Leaf reinforcents and Nidao City...
anwhile, Changyong Emperor kept sending ssages out, but found his communications completely blocked.
"Hold fast; once Young Master Yu Po and Lord Pei Chang notice our prolonged silence, they’ll surely realize the issue."
In the end, Changyong Emperor had to order this in despair.
This defeat could very likely lead Young Master Yu Po and Lord Pei Chang to kill him, while he worried about Willow Leaf City’s situation, wondering if it was also in peril.
And Changyong Emperor himself, naturally, dared not venture out...
Shi Douxing’s combat strength was equal to his, and there were even stronger individuals among Willow Leaf reinforcents who could kill two Emperors; going out alone would be suicidal, requiring the army’s strength to form a Soldier Killing Array.
"Dark Wing, what on earth is this?"
Changyong Emperor thought of this disastrous defeat and was filled with deep hatred.
Only after careful thinking did he realize that from beginning to end, it was this Overlord Comrce genius called Dark Wing causing all the trouble!
"Don’t let catch him, or I’ll dismber him a hundred tis." Changyong Emperor swore vehently in his heart.
Unfortunately, Changyong Emperor didn’t know that if he ran out alone now, he might actually successfully break through Nidao Sect’s blockade, as there were no strong individuals among Willow Leaf reinforcents.
...
And just as Nidao City’s battle reached a victorious state, Willow Leaf City had beco a scene of desolation.
Because various ssages had already arrived, the Imperial Dragon Mountain army was pressing in.
At this mont, Ye Wushen was leading the core figures of Willow Leaf Saint Manor, standing on a huge Divine Shuttle Ship, looking far at the direction outside the city, feeling the air seemingly filled with a terrifying oppressive force.
"Report..."
Suddenly, an urgent report ca.
A spy from Willow Leaf Saint Manor, riding a beetle, landed on the deck of the Divine Shuttle Ship, reporting, "Manor Master, it’s strange; the army pressing in doesn’t quite resemble Imperial Dragon Mountain’s troops."
