Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

After that, Xue Tianhan became more cautious. He continued to pay attention to the movements of the Yellow Turban Sect while keeping a close eye on the attitudes of those wavering sects.

He knew very well that in this chaotic world, only by being prudent and protecting oneself could the Lingxu Sect remain standing in the face of the storm.

As the days passed, the situation became increasingly tense.

The power of the Yellow Turbans continued to expand, and conflicts between them and the army of the Eastern Han court and some immortal cultivation sects that opposed them became more frequent.

For a time, war was raging, lives were lost, and the entire world of immortal cultivation fell into chaos.

Under the leadership of Xue Tianhan, the Lingxu Sect always maintained a neutral stance. They closed the mountain gates, continuously strengthened their defenses, and tried their best to avoid conflicts with the outside world.

At the same time, Xue Tianhan also secretly trained a group of elite disciples to be used in case of emergency.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

One day, a mysterious messenger came to the gate of Lingxu Sect.

This person claimed to be a representative of the Taiping Dao sect, and came to discuss "cooperation" with Xue Tianhan.

Xue Tianhan was alert and met the envoy in the hall.

The Taiping Dao envoy said straight to the point, "Master Xue, the world is in chaos right now. Our sect is well aware of the Lingxu Sect's strength and prestige. We are willing to join forces with the Lingxu Sect to support the Yellow Turbans in overthrowing the Eastern Han Dynasty. We will reward you handsomely when the time comes."

Xue Tianhan's face darkened, and he responded coldly, "My Lingxu Sect has always been aloof from worldly affairs, focusing solely on cultivation and inheritance. We have no intention of getting involved in the disputes of the imperial court. Please return, sir."

Seeing Xue Tianhan's resolute attitude, the Taiping Dao envoy's expression changed slightly, and he threatened, "Sect Master Xue, you must think carefully. The Yellow Turbans are now very powerful. If you don't cooperate with us, I'm afraid the Lingxu Sect will have a hard time in the future."

Xue Tianhan snorted coldly, stood up and said, "My Lingxu Sect will have a plan to deal with it. There is no need for you to worry. Please show me around!"

Upon seeing this, the Taiping Dao envoy knew that it was pointless to say more, so he had to leave Lingxu Sect in anger.

Looking at the departing figure of the Taiping Dao envoy, Xue Tianhan knew in his heart that the Lingxu Sect had been drawn into the vortex of this chaotic world, and it was impossible to stay out of it completely.

But he still decided to stick to his own principles, not easily get involved in the fight between either side, and wait for the situation to become clearer.

In the following days, Xue Tianhan required his disciples to practice more strictly, and at the same time strengthened his ties with some neutral sects, trying to seek more support and allies in this chaotic world.

He knew that the days ahead would be even more difficult, but as long as the Lingxu Sect was united and acted cautiously, there might still be a glimmer of hope...

After Xue Tianhan discussed with the elders of Lingxu Sect, they decided to unite with these righteous sects to form an alliance to deal with the chaotic times.

So, Xue Tianhan set out for Tianshan Sect with the sincerity and determination of Lingxu Sect.

Xue Tianhan and his group rode tirelessly, overcoming numerous obstacles and dangers before finally arriving at the Tianshan Sect's headquarters. Yun Feiyang, the sect's leader, personally came out to greet them, and both parties took their seats in the meeting hall.

Xue Tianhan went straight to the point and informed everyone in detail about the threat posed by the Yellow Turbans and the situation of the Lingxu Sect, and proposed a joint fight against the enemy.

Yun Feiyang frowned upon hearing this. After a moment's silence, he said, "The Yellow Turbans' power has grown in recent years, and this has long aroused our vigilance. In these troubled times, it seems the storm is more severe than we anticipated. A united front against them is imperative."

The two then discussed the specific matters of cooperation and decided to call together all the righteous sects to hold an emergency alliance meeting to jointly discuss countermeasures.

Although Xue Tianhan felt a little relieved, he also knew that the road ahead was still difficult.

After the meeting, Xue Tianhan visited the Tianshan Sect’s defensive formations and training facilities under its arrangement, and was secretly amazed in his heart.

In the dead of night, he stood alone on the mountaintop, gazing at the starry sky, his mind racing with thoughts. He knew full well that this struggle was not only about the survival of the Lingxu Sect, but also about the fate of the entire world of immortal cultivation.

The next morning, Xue Tianhan set out on the journey back to Lingxu Sect with the promise of Tianshan Sect and several disciples who were willing to accompany him.

Along the way, he constantly pondered how to integrate the forces of various factions and formulate a more thorough battle plan. Although his heart was filled with worries, his eyes gleamed with determination.

After Xue Tianhan returned to Lingxu Sect, without even taking a break, he immediately summoned all the elders and core disciples to gather in the solemn hall.

With a solemn expression, he informed everyone of the details of the trip to Tianshan Sect and the results of the discussions. The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and everyone knew that the challenges they were about to face would be extremely difficult.

"This alliance conference is a critical opportunity for us to resist the Yellow Turban Rebellion and survive in this chaotic world. All major sects must work together to have a chance of survival." Xue Tianhan's voice was low and firm, echoing in the hall. Everyone nodded in agreement, with determination and fighting spirit flashing in their eyes.

Senior Sister Huang Yan stood up and said with a worried look on her face, "Junior Brother, while forming an alliance with the righteous sects is a wise move, we must also be wary of those sects with ill intentions taking the opportunity to infiltrate the alliance and undermine our strength from within."

Junior Brother Ling Feng also echoed, "Senior Sister, what you said is absolutely right. I suggest that we select a group of the most loyal and reliable disciples to be responsible for secretly monitoring the movements of the various sects in the alliance, just in case."

Xue Tianhan nodded slightly, his eyes revealing admiration, and said, "You two are right. We will do as you say. In these troubled times, we must act with caution. The slightest mistake could lead to eternal damnation."

In the following days, the Lingxu Sect was like a sophisticated machine, running at high speed.

The disciples practiced hard day and night in the martial arts arena, swords flashed, magic lights intertwined, and shouts of killing shook the sky;

The elders were concentrating on studying more advanced and sophisticated spells and formations in the secret room, striving to gain an advantage in the upcoming war.

At the same time, Xue Tianhan also frequently sent spies to various places to closely monitor the latest developments of the Yellow Turban Sect and those wavering sects, not missing any trace of movement, so as to be able to adjust the Lingxu Sect's response strategy in a timely manner.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. One day, a mysterious stranger in a black robe quietly appeared in the small town at the foot of Lingxu Sect Mountain.

This man had a deep gaze, revealing an unpredictable aura. He was asking around about the Lingxu Sect, and his behavior was very suspicious. This situation was quickly discovered by Xue Tianhan's spies in the town, and the news was quickly passed back to the Lingxu Sect.

When Xue Tianhan learned about this, he had an ominous premonition and immediately sent several elite disciples to secretly investigate this person's background and purpose.

A few days later, elite disciples reported back that the black-robed figure was actually a secret envoy sent by the imperial court, intent on recruiting the Lingxu Sect to serve the imperial court and jointly fight against the Yellow Turbans. This sudden change put Xue Tianhan in a dilemma.

"The imperial court is now extremely corrupt, with endless internal strife. The eunuchs and the Tianfeng Pavilion are monopolizing power. If we cooperate with the imperial court, I am afraid we will be caught in an endless political whirlpool and unable to extricate ourselves." An elder said worriedly.

"But if we refuse the imperial court, we will inevitably be seen as a thorn in the court's side in the future. In these troubled times, having one more enemy is definitely not a good thing." Another elder analyzed with a frown.

Xue Tianhan pondered for a long time before finally making up his mind: "The foundation of our Lingxu Sect lies in the cultivation of immortality. Passing on the legacy and protecting the disciples of the sect is our primary responsibility. The disputes in the court are too complicated, and we cannot easily get involved in them.

Besides, the Tianfeng Pavilion has always been at odds with us, but we cannot completely antagonize the imperial court. We should try to delay and see how things develop."

After everyone had discussed and decided, Xue Tianhan met with the imperial envoy in the main hall.

As soon as the imperial envoy entered the hall, he put on a condescending attitude and loudly declared, "Sect Master Xue, the world is in chaos right now. The imperial court has ordered you and the rest of the Lingxu Sect to immediately dispatch troops to assist the imperial court in suppressing the Yellow Turban bandits. If you can achieve military merit, the imperial court will surely reward you handsomely, and even grant you official titles and honors."

Xue Tianhan responded calmly and neither servilely nor arrogantly, "Sir, our Lingxu Sect is a sect of immortals. We have always stayed out of worldly affairs and focused on our own cultivation and inheritance. It is difficult for us to interfere in the affairs of the imperial court.

Moreover, our sect has also been harassed by the Yellow Turbans recently and is struggling to protect itself. We are unable to offer any assistance and hope you will forgive us."

The imperial envoy's face darkened and he snorted coldly, "Sect Master Xue, you must think carefully. The imperial court now controls the entire world. If you disobey its orders, you will be an enemy of the court, and the consequences will be disastrous."

Xue Tianhan smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency is too kind. My Lingxu Sect has absolutely no intention of defying the imperial court. However, in these troubled times, we also have our own difficulties. Once my sect has reorganized and recovered its strength, we will definitely consider helping the imperial court."

The secret envoy of the court saw that Xue Tianhan's words were sincere but his attitude was firm. Although he was dissatisfied, he knew that coercion was useless, so he could only leave a few harsh words and leave.

Looking at the departing imperial envoy, Xue Tianhan sighed inwardly, "In these troubled times, all factions harbor ulterior motives. The only way we can survive in this difficult situation is to stick to our original aspirations and respond with caution."

Not long after, the day of the alliance conference was approaching, and Xue Tianhan once again led a group of disciples on the journey to Tianshan Sect.

Along the way, they carefully avoided the Yellow Turban Sect's sphere of influence and those potentially dangerous areas, and finally arrived safely at the Tianshan Sect.

At this time, the Tianshan Sect had already gathered many elite disciples and leaders from the righteous sects, and the atmosphere was warm and solemn.

After exchanging a few words with everyone, Xue Tianhan quickly immersed himself in the preparations for the conference.

At the conference, representatives from various schools expressed their opinions and the discussion was heated.

Some sects advocate taking the initiative and attacking the Yellow Turbans' lair directly; some sects believe that they should first stabilize the rear and strengthen the defense before taking their actions slowly.

Xue Tianhan stood up, looked around, and said slowly: "My fellow Taoists, the Yellow Turban Sect is powerful and has deep roots. We must not act rashly.

In my opinion, we should first integrate the forces of various factions, share intelligence, support each other, and form a cohesive whole."
