Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Chapter 405 Post-War Planning and New Crisis

Lady Green Snake put away her fan, and walked gracefully to Xue Tianhan's side with lotus steps. Her face was solemn, and her eyes were filled with deep worry.

"That's right. Feng Yi's strength should not be underestimated. He also has the help of masters like Zhang Lu. If they come back, we must have a more comprehensive response plan."

Number 2 carefully supported the slightly frail Number 3, looking exhausted but forcing himself to agree, "Indeed, they managed to get such a powerful immortal weapon like the Phantom Immortal Bell from nowhere. We really suffered a great loss this time."

Xiao Qi's clone folded his arms across his chest, held his head high, and said confidently, "We were caught off guard before, but now we're prepared. His Fantasy Fairy Bell won't be able to trap us again."

Xiao Qi gently stroked Qing Luan's feathers, and Qing Luan fluttered its wings contentedly. Xiao Qi's eyes gleamed with determination, and his tone was sonorous and powerful: "No matter how many times they come, we will not retreat. If we can successfully break the formation this time and rescue everyone, it will be our common victory."

Hu Meiniang skillfully put away the dragon bone whip, her movements neat and clear. She then took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the remaining blood from the corner of her mouth, a bright smile on her face. "Yes, in this battle, our coordination was so perfect. Next time they come, we will beat them to a pulp just as well."

Xiao Huang skipped among the crowd like a lively elf, waving his dog spirit stick and shouting excitedly: "That's right, next time I will beat the crap out of them and let them know how powerful we are!"

Everyone couldn't help but smile in relief upon hearing this, and the tense and oppressive atmosphere eased a little. The warm sunlight shone upon them, as if cheering for this hard-earned victory.

Xue Tianhan looked at his comrades fighting side by side, his heart filled with emotion and relief. He knew that it was precisely because of their concerted efforts and shared life and death that they had achieved victory in this difficult battle. His eyes were filled with gratitude, and he silently remembered this friendship in his heart.

However, he also knew that the defeat of Feng Yi and others was only temporary. Given Feng Yi's character, he would not give up. A greater crisis might be yet to come, just like the calm before the storm, which made people feel uneasy.

This uneasiness hung over his heart like a shadow, making him dare not slack off in the slightest.

"Let's go back to the camp first and check on Liu Bei and the others. We also need to rest and discuss the next plan." Xue Tianhan said calmly.

Everyone nodded in agreement, then walked towards the camp. Although their steps were a little tired, their eyes were determined.

Back at the camp, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and the others were already waiting outside the tent. Seeing Xue Tianhan and the others return safely, they smiled with relief.

"Mr. Xue, you are finally back. We were so worried." Liu Bei walked forward quickly, his eyes full of concern and his tone a little anxious.

Xue Tianhan narrated the battle in a simple and clear manner. After listening to it, Liu Bei and others could not help but admire the bravery and wisdom of Xue Tianhan and others.

"Master Xue, Fairy Xiaoqi, this time it is thanks to you that you defeated Feng Yi and others and resolved the crisis for our army." Liu Bei said gratefully, his eyes full of sincere gratitude.

Xue Tianhan waved his hand and said sincerely, "My lord, there's no need to be polite. Since we are allies, we naturally have to share a common hatred and a common enemy. Although Feng Yi and the others have temporarily retreated, they will definitely not give up. We still need to discuss a countermeasure together."

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom as he slowly spoke, "Master Xue is absolutely right. Feng Yi and the others will surely be furious after their defeat this time. They will surely be even more furious next time. We need to take a long-term view, strengthen our defenses, and at the same time find ways to weaken their strength."

Everyone sat together and began to discuss countermeasures. The atmosphere in the tent was lively, and everyone expressed their opinions, as if it was an intense brainstorming session.

During this period, some people suggested strengthening the camp's defenses, setting up more sophisticated traps and powerful formations, and waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out.

Some people also suggested sending out alert spies to closely monitor the movements of Feng Yi and others so as to know both ourselves and the enemy.

Others believe that they can contact other like-minded forces to jointly fight against Feng Yi and others and strengthen their own strength.

Just as everyone was discussing enthusiastically, a burst of hurried horse hooves suddenly came from the distance.

The sound of horse hooves broke the lively atmosphere in the tent. Everyone stood up and looked into the distance vigilantly, with alertness in their eyes.

A short while later, a soldier rode a fast horse and rushed to the camp. After dismounting, he hurriedly ran to Xue Tianhan and the others, knelt on one knee, and said in a hurried voice: "Report! We have found traces of Feng Yi and the others. They are heading northwest, and they seem to be looking for something."

After hearing this, Xue Tianhan and the others exchanged glances, each filled with confusion. After their defeat, Feng Yi and the others didn't seek a place to rest, but instead headed northwest. What exactly were they looking for? This question, like a mystery, hung over everyone's mind.

"It seems Feng Yi and the others have other plans. We can't let our guard down." Xue Tianhan said solemnly, "Send out spies immediately to closely monitor their every move. Report any abnormalities immediately."

The soldiers took their orders and quickly left. The sound of horse hooves gradually faded into the distance. The atmosphere in the tent grew solemn again, like the calm before a storm.

The parliament was suspended until the spies brought back any new information.

"Tianhan, your previous move was quite powerful, but why do I feel that your move is a little familiar?" Xiao Qi pulled Xue Tianhan aside, his eyes full of curiosity, and asked with his head tilted.

"It's normal that you are familiar with it, because my move is the third move of the Three Axes of Creation, Three Axes Breaking the Sky." Xue Tianhan explained patiently with a gentle smile on his face.

"Teach me." Xiao Qi said impatiently, his eyes full of anticipation, like a child eager to get a new toy.

“Me, I want to learn too.” No. 2 and No. 3 also said eagerly, with a glint of eagerness in their eyes.

"Okay, let's go to the more open place over there." Xue Tianhan said, holding Xiaoqi's hand.

"Let's go and take a look." Lady Green Snake said to Hu Meiniang. The two smiled at each other and followed.

"Me, and me." As he said that, Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei followed.

Xue Tianhan brought Xiao Qi and the others to an open meadow outside the camp. The breeze blew, and the green grass swayed. The sunlight shone on the meadow, like a golden ocean.

"Xiao Qi, watch carefully. This is how the third axe should be used." Xue Tianhan said, taking a deep breath, and the spiritual power around him surged like a surging tide.

He tightly grasped the small half of Pangu Axe in both hands and slowly raised his arms. The movements seemed slow but contained endless power. Every detail showed his precise control of strength.

As he moved, the air around him seemed to be stirred, forming an invisible airflow, and ripples appeared faintly in the space, as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake.

But when Xiao Qi asked about the key, Xue Tianhan frowned, looking confused. "To be honest, Xiao Qi, I don't quite understand the key either. When I performed it, I just relied on instinct and my previous insights. It seemed like there was a force pulling me."

Xiao Qi was not discouraged. She watched Xue Tianhan's movements intently and began to imitate him, her eyes full of determination. Her eyes were full of determination, as if she was announcing her determination to the world.

She tried again and again, her spiritual power surging in her body, but every time she waved her arms, she always felt that something was missing, as if there was a layer of window paper between them that she could never break through.

"I've tried so many times, but it still doesn't work. What am I missing?" Xiao Qi frowned, looking distressed. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, sparkling in the sunlight.

"Me too, I always feel like something is missing." No. 2 also said, with the same confusion on his face.

Several people began to discuss together. Xue Tianhan tried hard to recall the scene of performing the moves, trying to find the key.

"I remember my senior sister's clone said that this small half of Pangu Axe of mine carries some power of space laws. I wonder if it is related to this." Xue Tianhan said as he recalled, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

After hearing this, Xiao Qi's heart moved. He looked at the small half of Pangu Axe in Xue Tianhan's hand and said, "Tianhan, can you let me try it with this small half of Pangu Axe? Maybe by holding it, I can feel the power of the spatial law more clearly."

Xue Tianhan handed the Pangu Axe to Xiao Qi without hesitation, his actions were decisive and firm.

Xiao Qi took the Pangu Axe with both hands. In an instant, an ancient and mysterious power flowed through her arms and into her body. She took a deep breath and slowly gathered her spiritual power according to Xue Tianhan's previous demonstration.

The moment she raised the Pangu Axe, the space around her seemed to have changed. The spatial fluctuations that were vague before became clearly perceptible.

She swung the Pangu Axe. Although her movements were still a little clumsy, each swing caused visible ripples in space. Her heart was filled with surprise, as if she had discovered a new world.

However, just when she thought she had made a breakthrough, a powerful backlash came from the Pangu Axe. This force was like a ferocious beast, pouncing on her.

Xiaoqi lost his balance and almost fell down.

Xue Tianhan quickly stepped forward to support her and asked with concern: "Xiao Qi, are you okay?"

Xiao Qi gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine. The power of this Pangu Axe is indeed strong. Although I can't fully control it yet, I can feel it. As long as I give myself some more time, I will definitely be able to master the essence of this third axe."

Seeing this, No. 2 and No. 3 also continued their attempts with greater effort.

No. 2 kept adjusting the rhythm and angle of his force, and his clothes were soaked with sweat; No. 3 closed his eyes tightly, immersed in the memories of performing Xue Tianhan's moves, trying to find a hint of inspiration.

Just as Xiao Qi continued to practice, the spy who went to gather information came back.

He looked panicked and hurried to Xue Tianhan: "Master Xue, something terrible has happened! Feng Yi and the others seem to be searching for a powerful magic weapon in the northwest. If they get it, I'm afraid..."

After hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly changed. A new crisis seemed to be approaching quietly, like a dark cloud pressing down on the sky, making it hard to breathe.
