Real game world: I am gifted and I suppress all monsters

Li Yang shook his head. "We got the news last year that the Cangsheng Sword is no longer at the entrance of the Ten Demon Cave. No one knows where it has gone."

Seeing the depressing atmosphere and everyone's low morale, Xuanyuan Sword Emperor encouraged them, "Don't worry too much. I believe that the troops from all the major sects in Zhongzhou will arrive soon. We will deal with the demon sword disaster first, and the matter of Thousand Demon Ridge will be resolved sooner or later."

Li Yang bowed again, "Senior, I am grateful for your kindness. After the Jiuli crisis is over, I will definitely come to you to thank you!"

But when the Xuanyuan family heard the words "come to thank you", they felt sad. After all, they were homeless now, and when this crisis came, they didn't know what their "home" would become.

Xuanyuan Sword Emperor waved his hand, "Nephew, please don't say that again. Now the destiny of Zhongzhou and Jiuli has become one, and there is no difference between them."

Everyone thought about the causes and consequences and the current situation, and nodded.

Li Yang said gratefully: "Senior, I am fortunate to have received guidance from you masters these past two days. We have deployed strict defenses inside and outside the fortress, and the confidence of the tribe has doubled. But I am still worried. Could you trouble the senior and my nephew to deduce it in detail again, so that I can be more proficient in commanding."

Xuanyuan Sword Emperor smiled and said, "My dear nephew, you are welcome. Please come this way."

Upon receiving the order, Xuanyuan Changqing pulled open the curtain on the east wall of the hall. Hanging inside was an elaborate map. However, it was not an ordinary flat canvas, but a three-dimensional map made of animal hair, flowers, and gravel painted with various colors. With Diying Fortress as the center, the terrain and topography of an area of ​​sixty miles in radius were clearly visible. It really took a lot of effort to create it.

Li Yang pointed at Jiangshan with a thin feather arrow, "Thousand Demon Ridge is to the south of the city. Nine times out of ten, the monsters will attack from the south, so the defense of this side is of utmost importance."

As everyone looked at the map carefully and recalled previous wars, the situation was indeed like this.

Li Yang continued, "The attacks from Thousand Demon Ridge came in many forms before, including birds, beasts, flowers, insect swarms, etc. We suffered a lot. But in the last three attacks, only the beasts and monsters attacked in a concentrated manner, so it was easier to deal with them."

Xuanyuan Sword Emperor said: "This may be a plan of Qianmo Ridge. We must not be careless."

"That's right, senior," Li Yang nodded, "I've noticed this, too. The less those flower and insect demons show up, the more worrying it is. They might be preparing for a bigger attack. If we can't see through their hostility, we might be caught off guard."

Xuanyuan Changqing said: "Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We have indeed lost the initiative."

Li Yang said: "Yes, the various strange methods of those monsters are indeed powerful, with open spears and hidden arrows, which are hard to defend against. This time, I am grateful to Senior Xuanyuan for helping me. Your unique skill of cutting through the chasm with one hand and one sword is really amazing."

After hearing this, Qianyu asked curiously, "Senior, what did you do?"

Li Yang smiled and said, "Third sister, you and Yue'er went to the north to survey the land yesterday, so I don't know. Look here."

After saying that, the arrow in Li Yang's hand pointed to a curved white line four miles south of Diying City.

Qianyu stared at it for a while, "What is this? It wasn't there before."

"Of course there wasn't one before," Li Yang said solemnly, "That was a river ten miles long and twenty meters wide, created by Senior Xuanyuan with just one sword!"

"what!"

Qianyu was shocked. Although she had seen Xuanyuan Sword Emperor's strength, the old man had been imprisoned for many years after all, and his internal strength was depleted in the battle with Feiyi. No one knew how much of his strength he had recovered now.

In fact, this was the strategy that Xuanyuan Sword Emperor discussed with Li Yang after he surveyed the terrain two days ago. He discovered that there was a medium-sized lake not far to the east of Diying Village, which was the water source that the Diying tribe relied on when they built the village.

Li Yang said with guilt: "When the senior told me this idea, I thought it was a fantasy. How could a canal of this scale be dug in one day? It must be at least ten meters deep, and the monsters could attack and destroy it at any time."

Speaking of this, let’s imagine that it is indeed difficult.

"But looking at the senior's determined eyes, I knew this was no joke, and I was also very clear about the necessity of doing this. Just as I began to think about how to allocate manpower and break ground, I saw the senior soaring into the air, gradually becoming invisible. Suddenly, a white light shot down from above, followed by a sharp sword cry. The sword energy was like a dragon, and the domineering power was followed by a loud rumbling sound. In a moment, smoke and dust were stirred up for dozens of meters. When I could see clearly, the deep canal had already taken shape."

Afterwards, Li Yang had no time to be surprised, and quickly arranged for his tribesmen to divert the lake water into a deep canal. Compared with "digging the canal", these projects were really not worth mentioning.

With this huge canal, not to mention the swarms of flying insects, most of the beasts and monsters on the ground would not be able to get through, which greatly reduced the pressure on the defense of the city.

Most of the people present had witnessed the miracle of Emperor Xuanyuan Sword slashing the chasm with one sword yesterday, and when they thought about it now, the sounds of admiration were still endless.

Xuanyuan Sword Emperor waved his hand and said, "No one here is an outsider, so I won't say anything self-deprecating. I would like to share some of my thoughts with you."

Everyone was a little surprised, but then they felt more fortunate. The Southern Yunnan Sword God shared his experience, and it was true that "listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." Everyone sat upright and listened attentively.

Xuanyuan Sword Emperor said, "I am nearly sixty years old and have been imprisoned for many years. My skills have declined. I thought that my sword skills and martial arts have reached a bottleneck and it is difficult to make any progress. But in this short time in Nanman, I have gained far more than in the past ten years. Last night, I had a rare leisure time and stayed up all night. I thought about the reasons carefully. There are probably two reasons."

"One is the state of mind. Since I took charge of the Xuanyuan family, I have to restore the reputation of the Sword God of Southern Yunnan. Naturally, I have shouldered a lot of pressure. However, the most taboo in martial arts practice is to be impatient. If you let the false reputation blind you, it will be difficult to follow your heart. Instead, you will fall into the quagmire of practice and stagnate."

At this point, everyone checked their answers and verified it with their own practice.

Especially those who have achieved success in spiritual practice, such as Xuanyuan Changqing and Li Yang, can empathize with him.

Xuanyuan Sword Emperor continued, "The second is desperate situation. In the past in southern Yunnan, although there were often challenges and difficulties, most of them did not endanger my life, let alone the safety of my family. But it is different in the Nanman. Since the encounter with Fei Yi's army, my heart has been pushed to a desperate situation. It is in this desperate situation that the fighting spirit and determination that have been hidden for a long time can be stimulated, so as to explore one's own potential, realize the true self, and improve the realm of martial arts cultivation."

Xuanyuan Changqing understood these words and nodded heavily, "Father is right. I also feel that I have benefited a lot from the battle with Qiansui League and Feiyi, but I have never fully realized it. Today is really an epiphany."

Several other people also nodded in agreement. This was by no means flattery, but words from the bottom of their hearts, because they gained insights into martial arts that could not be exchanged for any amount of gold or silver.

Xuanyuan Sword Emperor said: "This is just my opinion. If you find it useful, it will be a merit for me."

Li Yang bowed and said, "Senior, you are too modest. I am very grateful to you."

After that, he looked at the map on the wall again and said, "I'll continue."
