As the two armies were fighting, only less than a hundred people were left guarding the python chariot.

After the army charged past, the ground finally stopped shaking. Ye Zhiruo stood up in a panic, tidied her clothes, and slowly walked to Liu Yuntian's side. There was a trace of fatigue on her face.

"Tian'er, how's the battle going?" Ye Zhiruo asked softly, concern revealed in her voice.

Liu Yuntian tilted his head slightly, glanced at the other party, and then returned his sight to the battlefield. He frowned, thought for a moment, and replied: "There are quite a few people, they should be the main force of the other side."

Having said that, Liu Yuntian subconsciously crossed his arms, raised his hand to stroke his chin, with doubt flashing in his eyes.

He said to himself suspiciously, "Something is not right. Since the Li Kingdom and the Immortal Sect are colluding together, why didn't we see any masters from the Immortal Sect in such an all-out battle?"

Ye Zhiruo also fell into deep thought after hearing this. After a while, she said in an uncertain tone: "Could it be that all the masters are in the rear, protecting the Emperor of Liguo and the Immortal Sect Master?"

After hearing this, Liu Yuntian sneered, his tone full of disdain: "This is ridiculous. Do Wang Qing, Li Feng, and Fa Ming need protection from others? Moreover, Tianya Sect is in the territory of Li State. If we want to attack the capital of Li State, we must first cross Tianya Sect."

His eyes became sharp, as if he could see through the void and see what was happening in the distance.

Then he continued, "If that's the case, aren't they afraid of being defeated one by one by us?"

Liu Yuntian’s words made Ye Zhiruo fall into deeper thinking. She knew that what Liu Yuntian said made sense.

"With the Tianya Sect here, we don't need anyone's protection... Where did they go?" Liu Yuntian muttered.

But then, his ears shook slightly, and the sounds around him came into Liu Yuntian's ears. From the beginning, the power of his right arm was always in an activated state.

With the swordsman's sword heart soothing him, the side effects of the arm are almost negligible, so there is no need to seal it tightly as before and only release it for use in times of crisis.

Liu Yuntian, who possessed the strength of the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, naturally heard the footsteps of the ambushers around him.

Liu Yuntian counted silently in his heart: ten...fourteen...nineteen.

There were nineteen footsteps! And their strength should be in the late Jindan period or the peak period!

A decapitation operation?

Liu Yuntian chuckled, but still pretended nothing had happened, because at this moment he had already felt the presence of Old Sun. The two of them used the Human Emperor Seal as a bond and could sense each other.

Since Old Man Sun is here, that means Ye Ling is already lurking nearby!

The national war is going on fiercely, you want to sit around and fish? If you dare to do that, I will sell your mother!!!

"Liu Yuntian, Emperor of Liang! Die!!!"

At this moment, a deafening cry of killing suddenly rang out all around, and then twenty burly, ferocious-looking men jumped out from all directions like ghosts.

They were holding all kinds of strange weapons and rushed towards Liu Yuntian and Ye Zhiruo from all directions with murderous intent, aiming directly at their vital points!

Faced with the sudden change, Liu Yuntian was calm inside, but his face changed. He pretended to be panicked and shouted angrily: "Protect the emperor!"

Before he finished speaking, the hundreds of National Defense Army soldiers who were originally guarding the python chariot reacted instantly, quickly forming a defensive formation and tightly surrounding Liu Yuntian and Ye Zhiruo in the middle.

However, although these soldiers were well-trained, their strength was far inferior to that of the attacking enemy. This team of 100 people was the soldiers of the Apocalypse Camp, and the strongest was only in the late foundation building stage, while the enemy was all in the late Jindan stage or even the peak stage.

As soon as the two sides fought, the Hundred Man Team was clearly at a disadvantage and was quickly dispersed.

Some soldiers died on the spot, while others were knocked flying. The scene was extremely chaotic for a time.

Looking at everything that happened in front of him, Liu Yuntian's mouth corners slightly raised, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Ye Zhiruo beside him, thinking: "This woman must be scared to death, so Ye Ling will definitely not be able to hide."

But what he didn't expect was that Ye Zhiruo didn't panic at all. Instead, she stood there with a calm expression, as if she didn't care at all about what was happening around her.

She looked at the assassins quietly, her eyes revealing an indescribable confidence and calmness.

Liu Yuntian couldn't help but feel doubtful. Could it be that Ye Zhiruo had some other tricks up her sleeve? Thinking of this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.

This is very intriguing.

"You scoundrels, don't hurt my mother!!!"

The next moment, a fire phoenix appeared in the sky and circled towards them rapidly.

"Wow—"

The sound of the phoenix was deafening. At the same time, Ye Ling opened and closed his spear in his hand, creating a fire tornado in the air and quickly repelled all the assassins. Ye Ling was seen fighting with more than a dozen people on the other side, and the scene was very intense.

Liu Yuntian rolled his eyes, looked at Ye Zhiruo, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, did you know that the prince was coming?"

However, Ye Zhiruo just shook her head slightly, revealing a pair of innocent big eyes, and asked in surprise: "Is that Ling'er? Is that Ling'er?!"

Liu Yuntian's mouth twitched, and he pointed at the fire man in the sky and said, "Didn't he just shout 'Stop hurting my mother'?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Zhiruo became anxious instantly. She stared at the scene of Ye Ling fighting in the sky with wide eyes, and her voice began to tremble with nervousness: "Oh, the firebird was screaming too loudly just now, I didn't hear what Ling'er said at all!!!"

Liu Yuntian raised his eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes, and asked with a half-smile: "Since Your Majesty didn't know that the prince had returned, why weren't you afraid just now?"

However, Ye Zhiruo lost her anxiety the moment she heard it. Instead, she chuckled calmly and said in a relaxed tone, "Tian'er isn't afraid, so why should I be afraid?"

After saying that, she winked at Liu Yuntian provocatively.

The smile that originally appeared on Liu Yuntian's face gradually disappeared. He felt extremely uncomfortable with Ye Zhiruo's rapid change of expression, and could even be said to be disgusted.

Because the other person always gives me the feeling that he is very smart but not smart enough.

This feeling made Liu Yuntian feel uneasy and alert.

After all, he had used the same method to confuse everyone, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, luring the prey step by step into the trap he set.

And now, he couldn't help but start to wonder whether Ye Zhiruo was the same, and whether she was also plotting something in secret.

After all, a person's inner self is often more complicated and elusive than their appearance.

In this world full of power struggles, who can guarantee that everyone is consistent in what they say and do?

Perhaps, Ye Zhiruo really has some unspeakable secret.

At the same time, he must also increase his vigilance to avoid being exploited or falling into crisis.

As far as Liu Yuntian knew, this Ye Ling was the child born to Ye Zhiruo and a cultivator. Behind every child of destiny, there was a hidden and powerful force as a backer!
