Douluo: Qian Renxue’s Road to Defeating the Gods

Chapter 554. Retreat
In the City of Slaughter, the dying King of Slaughter lay in his palace. Maids lined up to bring blood to heal his wounds, but the King of Slaughter drank cup after cup, but his injuries did not get better.

"Damn angel..."

The King of Slaughter crushed the cup in his hand, his eyes full of hatred. He never expected that he almost lost his life this time. If this body was still the previous Tang Chen, he was confident that he would never end up in this situation.

"Great King, why do you have to be the enemy of Spirit Hall? Weren't we partners before?"

The maid Xiaoxiao knelt on the ground. She was very confused. Although Qian Renxue asked for the transformation of the Slaughter City, she did not deprive him of his status as the King of Slaughter. Why was the King of Slaughter still at odds with the Spirit Hall?
"What do you know! Get lost!"

Xiaoxiao left the palace trembling, and the King of Slaughter was the only one left in the huge palace.

Although there are some people like her who have mistakenly entered this City of Slaughter, their number is pitifully small. The vast majority of the rest were captured and sent in by the Spirit Hall. They have only one target of hatred, which is the Spirit Hall. It is precisely because of this target that the King of Slaughter can make these guys obey his orders. Firstly, he can give them shelter. Without him, the Spirit Hall will sooner or later kill them all. Secondly, his powerful strength can give them false hope, making them feel that they can destroy the angels, destroy the Spirit Hall, and completely liberate them.

And thirdly, it used to obey the orders of the God of Rakshasa. After Bibi Dong came into the City of Slaughter, it was ordered to pay attention to Bibi Dong's every move. It also learned from the God of Rakshasa that the blood of the angels was the supreme treasure for cultivation. As long as it devoured the angels, perhaps it would be possible for it to pursue the illusory path to becoming a god.

"Come here, inform Tiandou Empire's Jade Imperial Master of the news that Xue Qinghe is dead, and tell him that as long as we cooperate with each other, we will be able to wipe out all the enemies that come to Tiandou, but there is a condition, you must capture Qian Renxue alive and send her to me!"

In Tiandou Imperial City, Xue Beng looked at the express delivery from the front line over 800 miles away excitedly, and praised Yu Xiaogang's unparalleled talent.

"National Master! You are truly the pillar of the country. With you here, I can rest easy. Xue Qinghe is dead, Ge Long is also dead, and tens of thousands of their troops have been destroyed! Whatever reward you ask for, I can grant it to you!"

Xue Beng was dancing with excitement, he had never been so happy as today. Xue Qinghe was dead and the stone that was weighing on his heart fell to the ground. As long as he waited for King Tang San to return and then destroy the Spirit Hall, this continent would belong to him alone!

"It's a small skill, nothing worth mentioning."

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, looking very impressive, while the ministers below him were all silent, and even had a faint fear of Yu Xiaogang. They were all officials who came from various places to report the status of the soldiers. They didn't know where Yu Xiaogang had found a group of soul masters, saying that they were here to suppress the soldiers who were trying to cause trouble. After they obeyed the order, the horrific scene still left them with lingering fears...

"Your Majesty, although Imperial Master Yu repelled Xue Qinghe, according to the news from the front line, the Spirit Hall's Young Master Qian Renxue has taken over the command of the armies of the five principalities, and the Spirit Empire has also sent a hundred thousand troops to support them. The follow-up is probably not optimistic. In addition, although Imperial Master Yu's suppression plan is indeed effective, his methods are simply inhuman! He is in league with the fallen spirit masters! This is outrageous to both humans and gods!"

All the ministers looked at the one who stood out in surprise. Couldn't he see that His Majesty obeys Master Yu's every word? Aren't you courting death by jumping out at this time?
"Asshole, what are those rioting soldiers? They are enemies, and enemies should be killed, not to mention a bunch of unruly people. Let them die. I have plenty of people in Tiandou, so why not kill a few more? This will also let the soldiers with disloyal hearts see that this is the fate of betraying the empire! In addition, fallen soul masters? That is the definition of the Spirit Hall. If the Spirit Hall says they are fallen soul masters, then they are fallen soul masters? They also said that I am unforgivable! It is impossible for the Spirit Hall to say that it is the truth, or that you are secretly communicating with the Spirit Hall!"

Xue Beng's face changed and he immediately called the guards to throw this righteous minister into jail.

Yu Xiaogang's smile was a little stiff, but Xue Beng didn't care and continued to praise Yu Xiaogang's iron-blooded wrist and brilliant plan.

"Master, the Spirit Empire has announced its participation in the war. Do you have any strategy to deal with the enemy?" Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, his eyes rolling around: "Your Majesty, don't be nervous... Bibi Dong... Well, I understand... You know, her spirit is a spider... Spiders are used to setting traps and waiting for the enemy to fall into their traps... The fate of the Xingluo Royal Family is the best proof... And now she actually took the initiative to attack, which means she is really panicking... So there is no need to worry, it's better this way!"

Xue Beng didn't understand what he heard, but he knew some things. A person's temper would be more or less affected by his martial spirit. According to Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong was not suitable for active attack, but now that she took the initiative to attack, it would give herself a chance and there was no need to be afraid!

"Master, I am deeply impressed by your theory. You are absolutely right. This is definitely a stunning achievement that is no less than the top ten core competitiveness of Wuhun!"

"Hahaha, of course. Your Majesty, please rest assured. Qian Renxue has already led the army to retreat. Now is a good opportunity to recover the lost territory!" Yu Xiaogang coughed twice and then looked serious.

"Yes, let's do everything according to the Imperial Master's wishes."

At the front line, the Tiandou army began to advance slowly after seeing the troops of the five duchies withdrawing.

Inside the military tent, Qian Renxue was observing the current war situation in front of a sand table. Due to the intervention of the City of Slaughter, and in the absence of any guarantee that any entrance or exit of the City of Slaughter would be blocked, there was absolutely nothing wrong with retreating.

She could rest assured about the Five Duchies, but she had to give up the lands conquered by Gelong and Xueqinghe, in order to prevent these soldiers from dying in vain. This was a must, and even if the City of Slaughter did not launch a large-scale operation, simply sending a small team to harass her logistics would put her in an extremely passive situation.

Or maybe she didn't want to see someone sacrifice in vain because of her stupidity.

"Report!"

"Come in."

A soldier entered the tent after receiving the order. "Young Master, the army is following your order in an orderly manner and retreating in turns, but the Tiandou army is holding on tightly. This is a joint proposal from several generals to set up an ambush and teach the Tiandou army a lesson."

Qian Renxue looked at the sand table. Setting an ambush would inevitably affect the speed of retreat. Now, staying in Tiandou for one more second would increase the danger. The army of the Wuhun Empire had not arrived yet, so it was better to give up the ambush. A safe retreat was the top priority.

"No need for that. Notice that no one is allowed to set up an ambush without permission."

"Yes!"

"Wait, tell the angel army commander not to be careless. They must keep a close eye on the army's retreat route and the movements of the Tiandou army. If there is any abnormality, they must notify me in time!"

"Yes!"
