Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Zhang Lu was surrounded by purple-black lightning, like a demon god that had escaped from the depths of the Nine Nether Hell. Killing intent surged in his eyes like a tide.

He raged, "How dare you, a bunch of ants, run wild in my Five Pecks of Rice Sect and even dream of taking the Qiyun Mountain and River Map away? You're simply wishful thinking! Today, no one will walk out of here alive!"

After saying this, he flashed like a ghost, transforming into a streak of black lightning, and pounced towards Xue Tianhan and the others at lightning speed. His speed was so fast that no one had time to react.

Xue Tianhan and the others felt a terrifying, overwhelming pressure surge over them, like a towering mountain bearing down, nearly suffocating them. This pressure was as if it were a physical substance, crushing their bodies as if they were being crushed alive.

At the critical moment of life and death, Xiaobai, who had been hiding beside Xue Tianhan, finally took action.

Instantly, it radiated with light, transforming into a veritable dragon that obscured the sky and sun in the blink of an eye. Its scales shone with dazzling golden light, like pieces of indestructible golden armor.

The dragon's might was so overwhelming that it shook the heavens and the earth. The surrounding space couldn't help but tremble slightly under this terrifying dragon's might.

Xiaobai opened his bloody mouth and let out a deafening dragon roar. The sound of the dragon roar resounded through the sky, as if it was going to shake the whole space to pieces.

A dragon breath containing endless dragon power gushed out like a surging torrent and rushed straight towards Zhang Lu.

"Dragon, how is this possible!" Although Zhang Lu had just broken through and his strength had greatly increased, his face changed drastically when faced with Xiaobai's terrifying attack that contained the power of a true dragon.

The face that was originally filled with murderous intent was instantly replaced by horror, and an extremely strong fear surged in his heart.

He hurriedly circulated all his spiritual power and condensed a black spiritual shield, trying to resist the dragon breath that was powerful enough to destroy everything.

A strange light flickered on the spiritual shield, as if it was roaring unwillingly.

However, the power of the dragon's breath was too strong, and the shield began to tremble violently the moment it came into contact with the dragon's breath.

Then, with a crisp "crack", the shield shattered like fragile glass, turning into countless spiritual fragments and dissipating into the vast void.

Zhang Lu felt like he was struck by a thunderbolt, struck by the aftermath of the dragon's breath, and sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut. He slammed to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust and creating a massive crater.

Xue Tianhan and the others took advantage of Zhang Lu's injury and fled as far as they could while daring to do so. Their figures quickly disappeared in the flying dust, leaving behind only a devastated battlefield.

Zhang Lu struggled to stand up, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

He looked at the direction where Xue Tianhan and others left, his heart filled with resentment and unwillingness.

At this moment, a believer tumbled and crawled in front of him, fell to his knees with a thud, and said tremblingly, "Master... Master, something terrible has happened! Not only has the Shu Central Destiny Mountain and River Map been stolen, but... and the treasure house has been emptied out!"

Zhang Lu's already furious face instantly flushed crimson, his eyes blazing with fire. He roared, "What! What did you say?"

Then, he roared madly: "Ah! You bastards, I will tear you into pieces! Kunling Sect, I will make you pay a heavy price for what you did today!"

He waved his arms wildly, and the space around him was distorted by his anger. The Five Pecks of Rice Sect followers were trembling with fear, not daring to breathe.

They knew very well that the leader's anger at this moment was like a volcano about to erupt. Once it erupted, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, although Zhang Lu was filled with righteous indignation, he did not dare to chase after him rashly.

After all, Xiaobai's display of true dragon power left him with a lingering fear. He knew that if he pursued him rashly, he would most likely suffer another serious injury, or even his life would be in danger.

"Pass on my orders!" Zhang Lu suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth, "Immediately summon all the elders and guardians of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect to the meeting hall to discuss countermeasures. Also, send the sect's elite disciples to closely monitor Kunling Sect's every move. If there is any sign of trouble, report it to me immediately!"

After receiving the order, the believers dispersed and carried out Zhang Lu's orders.

Zhang Lu stood alone in this devastated place, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness, as well as a hint of sinisterness.

He secretly vowed to make the Kunling Sect pay a heavy price for their actions. He began to think about how to unite with other forces to fight against the Kunling Sect and recapture the Qiyun Mountain and River Map of Shu and the stolen treasures.

Meanwhile, Xue Tianhan and the others sped along until they were far away from the Five Pecks of Rice Sect's sphere of influence, only then did they breathe a sigh of relief. Their faces were filled with fatigue, but their eyes held a hint of relief.

"This time, we were able to successfully seize the Shuzhong Fortune Mountain and River Map thanks to everyone's concerted efforts and Xiaobai's move at the critical moment." Xue Tianhan looked at everyone, his heart full of gratitude.

"Yeah, if it weren't for Xiaobai, we wouldn't be able to escape today." Xiaoqi said with lingering fear, while looking at Xiaobai with admiration in his eyes.

Xiaobai wagged his tail and returned to his usual cute appearance, as if the earth-shaking scene just now had nothing to do with him.

Just as they were on their way to Kunling Sect, Xue Tianhan's consciousness suddenly shook. Through the unique spiritual connection between him and his clone, he instantly learned the news of the Yellow Turban coup.

It turned out that while they were fighting fiercely with Zhang Lu, Xue Tianhan's clone No. 3 and Xiao Qi's clone who stayed in Liu Bei's camp had been closely watching the situation.

When the Yellow Turbans learned that Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi were heading to the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, they felt they had an opportunity and launched a rebellion.

Those rebellious believers attempted to take the opportunity to capture Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others and then establish themselves as kings.

Fortunately, Xue Tianhan's clone No. 3 and Qingluan were alert and noticed the conspiracy in advance, and quickly led people to stop it.

After a fierce battle, although the traitors' conspiracy was successfully thwarted, those cunning traitors still fled towards the southwest.

Xue Tianhan immediately told Xiao Qi the news. They both gasped, their faces filled with panic.

Xue Tianhan's expression froze, his eyes instantly becoming as sharp as an eagle's. He thought to himself that these two events, happening one after another, would inevitably disrupt the delicate balance between the various forces, and the entire situation would probably soon fall into unprecedented chaos.

"What should we do? It's so cold." Xiao Qi asked anxiously, his voice trembling unconsciously.

Xue Tianhan frowned tightly, pacing back and forth. After thinking for a moment, he said decisively: "There is no time to lose. We must hurry back to Kunling Sect and convene the Council of Elders to discuss countermeasures."

No one dared to delay for even a moment and rode their horses as fast as they could back to Kunling Sect.

Inside the meeting hall, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

Xue Tianhan sat upright in the main seat, his eyes sternly sweeping across the elders below the stage, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm sure you all have heard that we stole the Shuzhong Qiyun Mountain and River Map from the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, and at the same time, a coup d'état took place in the Yellow Turban Sect.

These two events have a significant impact on our plan to assist Liu Bei in unifying the country. Feel free to share your thoughts.

The Great Elder stroked his beard and spoke slowly, "Master, this situation is indeed serious. The Yellow Turbans have had frequent dealings with us before, and now they are experiencing internal unrest. If not handled properly, it could very well backfire.

The Five Pecks of Rice Sect will definitely become our enemy in order to regain the Qiyun Mountain and River Map.

In my opinion, we should hold our troops in place for now, carefully observe the situation, and then make a decision. We need to see how this incident affects Cao Ying and Sun Quan; perhaps they are also secretly plotting something."

The Second Elder immediately retorted, "No! All forces are stirring up trouble right now. If we just wait and see, by the time the situation becomes clear, we'll have already lost the opportunity. We should take the initiative and stabilize the situation. Only then can we eliminate the negative impact of this turmoil as quickly as possible."

"We can leverage the advantages of the Kunling Sect's techniques and unite with the forces within Liu Bei's army to first stabilize the morale of the people internally, and then demonstrate our strength externally to deter other forces with ill intentions. Furthermore, we can use our energy cannons, muskets, and mortars to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy when necessary."

The elders each held their own view, arguing fiercely. Xue Tianhan listened quietly, carefully weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

After a long period of contemplation, Xue Tianhan finally spoke: "Everyone's words make sense. But the situation is complicated and changing, so we must act with caution.

On the one hand, they immediately strengthened the sect's defenses and sent elite disciples to patrol various locations within the sect to prevent any unexpected events;

On the other hand, keep a close eye on the movements of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, the Yellow Turban Sect, and other forces, and report back at any time.

At the same time, you must also pay attention to the movements of Cao Ying and Sun Quan, and analyze their possible actions. You must be prepared to deal with various emergencies, flexibly use the weapons and forces at hand, and strive for the greatest benefits for Liu Bei's camp in this chaotic world."

The elders nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Xue Tianhan made detailed and careful arrangements for various matters. After receiving the order, everyone hurriedly got busy.

Just as Xue Tianhan and Xiao Qi were busy discussing countermeasures in Kunling Sect, these two pieces of news that shocked the martial arts world began to spread gradually.

In Cao Cao's tent, Cao Cao was originally concentrating on handling military affairs, but suddenly he received urgent intelligence presented by his subordinates, and his face instantly became as gloomy as water.

In his hands, he also held the news about Xue Tianhan stealing the map of the mountains and rivers of Shu and the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Feng Yi, the head of Tianfeng Pavilion, happened to be in the tent at this time. After seeing the information, his expression became cold, and a hint of ruthlessness and determination flashed in his eyes.

The player monk Shi Potianjing stood aside with a heroic look on his face, but he could not hide the greed for the treasure in his eyes.

"Xue Tianhan first snatched the Shu Fortune Mountain and River Map from Zhang Lu, and then the Yellow Turban Religion staged a coup. The situation has become increasingly complicated." Cao Cao said in a deep voice, with a hint of anger and unwillingness in his tone.

Shi Potianjing crossed his arms and shouted, "No matter what the situation is, this Qiyun Mountain and River Map is a treasure. It would be a pity if it fell into his hands! I think we should find a way to seize it! As for the Yellow Turban Sect, the more chaos it has, the better. We can take advantage of the situation!"
