After the battle, Fen Tian and the village elders inspected the damage to the defensive formation. They discovered traces of strange energy left by the enemy's formation expert—a pattern resembling part of an ancient technique.
Fen Lao quickly ordered the elders to activate the innermost layer of the village's spiritual formation—a technique passed down from the Fen Clan's ancestors. However, the technique required immense energy and could only last for a few days.
Fen Tian took on the responsibility of defending the village during the activation of this formation. He also began studying the ancient energy pattern, hoping to uncover weaknesses in the enemy's next assault.
