Xiu Haofeng followed Shi Zhimen's advice and didn't rush to advance.
The task of clearing Secret Spirits ahead isn't really urgent; it's insignificant in the grand scheme of things. As long as Secret Spirits can be cleared within the designated time, the final battle over Qilin Mountain will be the real key to success or failure.
Therefore, Shi Zhimen's suggestion was to train the troops first, using Secret Spirits to hone the soldiers' coordination and battle array execution skills.
Before reaching Qilin Mountain, the entire team must form a true collective combat force, rather than individual combat capabilities of small squads.
It was also coincidental that Leng Zhe gave Ji Nanhong the same advice.
Ji Nanhong gladly agreed and sent instructions to Chen Guan's team, asking the Vanguard Team to slow down their advancement and not rush, coordinating combat with the troops behind.
