The cultivators who had surrounded Tang Zhen had gained nothing in the end, but they did not give up easily.
They mobilized even more people to patrol the vicinity of the various cities in hopes of discovering Tang Zhen's traces.
If Tang Zhen were to take over the city, he would be able to discover it immediately and launch a pursuit.
This was because Tang Zhen had the method to take over the divine weapon city. This would severely affect the plans of the invaders.
If they did not control it, no one could guarantee how many cities would be taken by Tang Zhen before the end of the war.
The loss of even one city meant that the war was not complete, let alone the fact that they had already taken over nine cities.
Tang Zhen's actions were equivalent to publicly challenging the invader.
The invaders did not have enough strength to monitor all the cities that had not been captured. This meant that Tang Zhen had more opportunities to take action.
