Chapter 691: Inside Changancheng, Li Shimin is delighted to obtain the Seven Martial!

Great Tang, inside Changancheng.

At this moment, Changancheng was already decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and countless lights were floating toward the sky.

A very magnificent stage was set up inside Changancheng; this was precisely prepared by Li Shimin for the Seven Martial.

Not long ago, Li Shimin saw the news sent by Li Chunfeng. After seeing the message in the letter that Li Chunfeng had already brought the Seven Martial and others back, Li Shimin was very excited.

After various events since the appearance of the Heavenly Ranking, Li Shimin had long realized that his Great Tang lacked talent, especially martial artists possessing mid-to-high-end cultivation.

Now with the arrival of the Seven Martial, the stone in Li Shimin's heart could finally be put down.

After all, listening to the descriptions of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, although the strength of the Seven Martial was not as powerful as that of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, they were heroes who could stand alone in any Jianghu.

Moreover, the bones of the Seven Martial were very strong. As long as time was given, it was not impossible for the members of the Seven Martial to become existences like Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, who were Earth Immortals*Heavenly Man Realm!

Now that Great Tang only had two powerhouses at the Earth Immortal*Heavenly Man Realm, it was enough to make Great Tang a thriving and powerful nation, although the strength of an empire absolutely did not depend entirely on whether or not it had the protection of peak martial artists.

After all, besides having a guardian deity, the strength of a country also required a leader with wisdom and people and soldiers loyal to their own country.

To truly become a strong nation, one could not stand at the forefront of various empires if any of these things were missing!

Just like Great Sui, which had the guardian deity Yuwen Tuo who possessed the Xuanyuan Sword on the Divine Weapon Ranking; when Yang Guang was around, the national strength of Great Sui was still not very good.

This is the influence of a leader on a country.

But if there were no peak martial artists to protect it, no empire would rank among the most powerful empires.

After all, this is a world of comprehensive martial arts. If there were no martial artists with high cultivation to help the empire, the scenario of "knights using martial arts to violate prohibitions" would appear anywhere in this world.

This is like small countries such as Western Xia and Dali; the reason they could never develop is that one of the reasons is the lack of protection from peak martial artists.

At this moment, Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon carriage, waiting for the arrival of the Seven Martial and Li Chunfeng.

At this moment, the excitement in his eyes could no longer be contained.

After all, this matter was the only thing that went according to Li Shimin's wishes since the appearance of the Heavenly Ranking.

It is strange to say, but the matter of the Heavenly Ranking seemed to be working against his Great Tang. No matter how hard Li Shimin had tried, Great Tang had never gained any benefits from the Heavenly Ranking.

Instead, Great Tang had passively erupted into several large-scale wars because of the Heavenly Ranking.

"Even without the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, I, Li Shimin, can still make powerhouses enter my Great Tang!"

"I can still lead Great Tang toward a more glorious place!"

Li Shimin said softly to the ranking list in the sky, and his every move was full of confidence.

Not long after, six powerful figures appeared outside Changancheng.

They were precisely Li Chunfeng and those among the Seven Martial who were willing to come with him.

Duan Lang, Wang Jian Chen, Po Jun, Huang Ying, Huai Kong, and Wuming.

In just an instant, the seven of them followed Li Chunfeng to the stage Li Shimin had prepared for them.

Looking at the prosperous scene of Changancheng, the hearts of the six people—Duan Lang, Wang Jian Chen, Po Jun, Huang Ying, Huai Kong, and Wuming—were filled with amazement.

Although they had always heard that Great Tang was an extremely powerful empire, they had never seen such a scene with their own eyes.

Before, they thought Great Tang was powerful, but that should only be because it had two powerful martial artists, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, and an army with strict discipline.

What they didn't expect was that in Great Tang, even the common people showed a state of affluence; this was a scene they had never seen in the region where they were located.

Looking at the six people who looked like heavenly beings, Li Shimin's eyes were full of pleasant surprise.

Before Li Chunfeng and the others could pay their respects, Li Shimin stood up from the dragon carriage, then walked to Li Chunfeng's side, held Li Chunfeng's hand, and said softly:

"Military Advisor, you have suffered on this journey." ===== CHAPTER 692 =====
