From the rural love, many children and good fortune

Afterwards, Li Tian took advantage of the Wei army's mentality of mistakenly thinking they had won and relaxing their vigilance, and adopted the strategy of "avoiding their vigor and attacking their laziness" from "The Art of War" combined with the "Gathering Spirits Killing Formation".

He stood on a high place and shouted:

"When they return, Meng Yan mobilizes the power of the earth, Su Yao condenses the spiritual power of water, and everyone gathers their spiritual power and throws it at me! Listen to my command, and do not act rashly without my order!"

On the way back of the Wei army, the immortal cultivators of the Chu army used the "Spirit Gathering Killing Formation".

The powerful attack force swept towards the Wei army.

But Wei Hong, the immortal cultivator from the Wei Dynasty, reacted in time.

He formed seals with his hands and cast a powerful defensive spell in an attempt to block this wave of attacks.

Seeing this, Li Tian's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he rushed forward without hesitation, rushing towards Wei Hong while shouting to the other cultivators:

"Concentrate your firepower and break his defense!"

Li Tian and Wei Hong engaged in a fierce confrontation. Relying on his flexible body movements and powerful spells, he continuously attacked Xuan Feng and interfered with Wei Hong's defense.

Thanks to Li Tian's efforts, a flaw appeared in Wei Hong's defense.

Meng Yan, Su Yao and others seized the opportunity, gathered their spiritual energy into a more powerful force, and smashed it hard at the Wei army.

The Wei army was suddenly thrown into chaos, with heavy casualties.

Xuanfeng, the Golden Immortal cultivator of the Wei Dynasty, is extremely powerful, and the spells he unleashes are incredibly powerful.

For a time, the immortal cultivators of Da Chu found it difficult to resist.

Liu Ruyan, who has the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal, personally stepped forward to meet the enemy.

She exuded powerful spiritual energy and looked noble and cool. She engaged in a fierce battle with Xuanfeng, the Golden Immortal cultivator of the Wei Dynasty.

Liu Ruyan's magic is extremely exquisite, and every time she attacks, she brings with her a powerful pressure.

Xuanfeng did not dare to be careless at all. The two sides fought back and forth, and the light of magic flickered in the Cangyan Valley.

Li Tian and Lin Wanqiu, as immortal cultivators, also joined the battle.

Li Tian gathered his spiritual power in his hands, and rays of light shot towards the enemy like sharp arrows, shouting as he attacked:

"Everyone, be careful. No one who dares to hurt our Great Chu will be able to escape!"

Lin Wanqiu set up a spiritual shield around Li Tian to protect him from enemy attacks and replenish his spiritual power in a timely manner.

During the fierce battle, Li Tian discovered the weakness of Luo Chen, a cultivator from the Great Wei Dynasty.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he cast a powerful spell without hesitation, directly hitting Luo Chen and severely injuring him:

"How dare you act so arrogant in front of me?"

Lin Wanqiu was not to be outdone. She skillfully used her spiritual power to disrupt the enemy's spell rhythm, allowing the immortal cultivators of Da Chu to gradually gain the upper hand.

As Liu Ruyan watched Li Tian fighting bravely, her feelings for him grew deeper.

She realized that she wanted to keep Li Tian not only because she liked him, but also because she admired Li Tian's talent and ability from the bottom of her heart.

During the battle, Li Tian gradually let go of the grudges in his heart.

He found that in the process of fighting alongside Liu Ruyan, he actually developed a sense of mission.

He began to understand that freedom is not just about living without any restrictions. Sometimes, in order to protect something important, temporary sacrifice is worth it.

With the continuous victory in battles, the power of Wei was gradually weakened.

In the end, with the joint efforts of Li Tian and Liu Ruyan, they successfully repelled the Wei and defended the Chu.

After the war, Liu Ruyan fulfilled her promise and decided to set Li Tian free.

She looked at Li Tian with reluctance in her eyes, but she still held back her tears and maintained the demeanor of an empress:

"Li Tian, ​​now that the Wei Dynasty has retreated, I promise to give you your freedom. You... can leave now."

Li Tian looked at Liu Ruyan and felt a little complicated.

He had experienced a lot in this palace, and he and Liu Ruyan had developed an inseparable bond. He was silent for a moment:

"Liu Ruyan, I...I want to think about it again."

Liu Ruyan was slightly stunned, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, and she nodded excitedly:

"Ok, I will wait for you."

From then on, Li Tian began to travel around the palace, recalling every detail of his time here.

He remembered his encounter with Ziwei, Lin Wanqiu's care, and the ups and downs he had experienced with Liu Ruyan.

Since I can't go back to the small world for the time being, I might as well stay here.

Finally, on a sunny day, Li Tian made a decision.

He came to Liu Ruyan, looked at her expectant eyes, and said slowly:

"Liu Ruyan, I have decided to stay and help you, and protect Da Chu with you. From now on, Da Chu is also my territory. If anyone dares to invade, I, Li Tian, ​​will be the first one to not let him go!"

Liu Ruyan could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes and they burst out.

She excitedly threw herself into Li Tian's arms.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan was no longer the almighty empress, but just a woman who deeply loved the man in front of her.

"Li Tian, ​​thank you. I knew you wouldn't leave me."

After repelling the Wei, the Chu finally ushered in the long-awaited peace.

In the court, Li Tian and Liu Ruyan worked together to govern the country, making the Great Chu well-organized and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

That day, after finishing the mountain of state affairs, Liu Ruyan leaned lazily on the back of her chair.

She couldn't help but sigh slightly, showing the empress's exhaustion:

"Reading these memorials today gives me a headache."

Seeing this, Li Tian immediately came over with a smile, his hands were not idle, he gently rubbed her shoulders and muttered:

"My Queen, please don't be so sad. If you keep frowning, you might turn into an old woman, and I don't like that!"

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him, her aloof demeanor instantly broken, but she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth:

"You are the only one who talks nonsense. If you hadn't been there to give advice, the affairs in the court would have been much more difficult."

When Li Tian heard this, he immediately grinned and his ruffian spirit came out:

"Of course not. I am your personal think tank. If you have any troubles in the future, just leave them to me and I will make sure they are handled properly for you!"

As the two were talking, Lin Wanqiu walked in hurriedly, holding an urgent border report in her hand.

Liu Ruyan took a look at it, and her originally cold expression instantly became even colder:

"The northern barbarians seem to be making unusual moves, frequently gathering troops at the border."

Li Tian's expression turned stern, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by ruthlessness and decisiveness:

"It looks like we're going to have trouble again, but we're not afraid. At worst, we can just have another fight. If one comes, I'll kill them one by one. If a group comes, I'll kill them all!"

Liu Ruyan nodded, her eyes firm, showing the majesty of the empress:

"Pass the order down, strengthen the border defense, keep a close eye on the barbarians' movements, and report any news immediately!"

After dealing with border affairs, it was already late.
