Fortunately, Ting had appeared.
The siblings joined forces and managed to even out the battlefield through sheer effort.
Afterward, the two countries signed a peace treaty and even engaged in a marriage alliance.
When the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits learned of Ting's identity, they wanted their prince to marry her, but she decisively refused. Consequently, they could only arrange for their princess to marry Song An.
Such peace lasted for several years.
However, once the Empire of Ten Thousand Spirits pushed back the Melting Fire Empire, they broke their faith, tearing up all agreements with Dashang and sending their strongest group of Spirit Prayer Masters to plunder Ting.
Seeing his elder sister in trouble from the west, Song An hurriedly led troops to support her, and the two sides battled yet again. Today, they fought a decisive battle in a place called "Cold Pavilion Valley."
The result of the final battle was a Pyrrhic victory.
