I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 207 A Sword Comes from the West! (Subscribe)

There was only one lantern hanging behind the pavilion by the dim pond.

The orange candlelight shone through the thin paper on the lantern onto Zhao Ruixiang's face, but was obscured by his brow bone, making his entire face look extremely sinister.

Especially his head twisted from front to back, and the two sharp teeth showing at the corners of his grinning mouth, made his figure look as scary as a demon.

Wenren Ying didn't dare to move, not even a little bit.

A demon who was able to avoid the thousand-year-old formation of the imperial city must possess bloodline powers that were definitely not something a little nine-tailed fox like her could handle.

In an instant, the area around the pond became eerily silent, so quiet that Wen Renying could hear her own slow heartbeat.

Zhou Tiance followed Zhao Ruixiang's line of sight and looked over. His body, which had just straightened, hunched over again. The coldness on his face turned into a kind smile, and he said:

"Yuan'er, it's so late, why don't you go to rest?"

"Many court officials will come to the palace tomorrow, and they will need you, the head of the Zhou family, to be responsible for their reception."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan walked out from the shadows outside the porch between the gray tiles and white walls in the backyard, with his long silver hair casually draped over his shoulders.

He stared at the two people in the pavilion, with two faint blue hues appearing in his black pupils. His hand was already on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and he asked coldly:
"Grandpa, I wonder who this gentleman is?"

Zhao Ruixiang was startled, his chest turned over instantly, he coughed, and said slowly:
"It turns out to be the new Marquis of Jingye. I thought the Zhou Mansion was robbed."

"Haha, I'm old now, and I'm always suspicious. I hope Jingye Hou can forgive me."

Zhou Tiance frowned secretly and said hesitantly: "He is the current Minister of Rites Zhao Ruixiang, you can call him Zhao Bo."

Zhao Ruixiang nodded with a smile on his face when he heard that, but he didn't say anything. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked at the two of them, was silent for a moment, took his hand off the Wanjun Sword, and calmly bowed and said:
"I didn't know Lord Zhao was in person, please forgive me."

Zhao Ruixiang smiled even more: "The old marquis is right, it would be more intimate if you call me 'Uncle Zhao'."

Chen Yuan paused and bowed again: "Uncle Zhao."

"Hey," Zhao Ruixiang responded, turned to look at Zhou Tiance, hinted at him to put away the medicine bottle in his hand, and said with a smile:

"It is a cause for celebration that the old marquis has a successor."

"I heard that people from every household in Kyoto Prefecture will come tomorrow. It will surely be very lively then."

Zhou Tiance turned his hand calmly, hunched over and coughed, "The Zhou Mansion hasn't been so lively for a long time. You should come early tomorrow."

"sure."

As he spoke, Zhao Ruixiang looked up at the dark night sky and said, "It's getting late. I should go back."

"It's been rainy in Kyoto since the beginning of spring. I hope tomorrow will be a nice day."

Having said that, Zhao Ruixiang signaled to Zhou Tiance, then said goodbye to Chen Yuan and left, still going out through the back door of the house.

Seeing him walk away, Wenren Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I was so scared~ Fortunately, it was Chen Yuan he found...

Huh?
The Zhou Mansion will host a banquet tomorrow because your elder brother will succeed the title of Marquis of Jingye?
She'll have to find a way to contact the adults later~
A moment of silence.

Zhou Tiance looked at Chen Yuan who was silent, and coughed, "Yuan'er, go back and rest early."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, but his feet remained motionless as if he was standing still.

"Grandpa, you haven't told me the true identity of this 'Uncle Zhao' yet."

Zhou Tiance was stunned, and his sallow old face suddenly looked much uglier as it was hidden in the shadows.

"Did you hear everything?"

"Yes, grandson heard him call you 'Tianshu'!" Chen Yuan asked calmly:

"Grandpa, he is a demon from the Demon Court, right?"

Hearing this, Zhou Tiance pursed his lips slightly, straightened his hunched body a little, and slowly calmed his shaken mind.

"Yes, it is indeed a demon from the Demon Court, and one of the pillars of the Demon Court - 'Black Impermanence' Liao Wei."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, a trace of murderous intent quietly disappeared, and his tone became even colder:

"Grandpa, now that I have succeeded the position of Marquis Jingye, do you also want me to follow your previous path?"

Zhou Tiance shook his head slightly and said:

"Yuan'er, Grandpa promised you that both the Jingye Army and Qianlong will be under your control in the future."

"Then, could you please tell me, Grandpa, the purpose of its coming to Kyoto Prefecture alone?"

Chen Yuan looked at him straight and said, "You should know how terrifying a great demon king who replaces a minister in the court is!"

Zhou Tiance was stunned for a moment, still shaking his head and said: "I don't know."

"You really don't know?"

"I don't know!" Zhou Tiance sighed suddenly:

"From the moment I joined the Demon Court and willingly became a pawn in the hands of the Wind Moon Demon Emperor, I have no choice."

"I was not aware of the arrival of the Black Impermanence this time, let alone that it would hide in Zhao Ruixiang's body."

"As for the purpose..."

Chen Yuan raised his hand and interrupted, "These are enough!"

"Grandpa, I hope you can cut off all contact with them!"

"Otherwise, even if my grandson inherits the title of marquis, the Zhou family will still be in an irretrievable situation!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tiance lowered his back a little, making his body more hunched, and nodded with a dejected look.

"Yuan'er is right. I will cut off all ties with the north later..."

Chen Yuan looked at him deeply and said coldly: "I hope Grandpa will do what he said!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the backyard porch, his footsteps gradually moving away at the exact same pace.

Zhou Tiance was the only one left, staring outside the dark porch.

Standing there for a long time.

He just sat back at the stone table with a complicated look on his face - both relieved and somewhat lonely.

"Yuan'er has this idea, so he must have accepted the status of Marquis Jingye. I hope he..."

Wen Renying looked at the lonely old man not far away and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, calming her violently beating heart.

What on earth do you want to investigate? You're really frightening me.
How come even Liao Wei, the “Black Impermanence” from the Demon Court, is here?

"Hehe~ If the master gives too little reward later, I will definitely not give in to him~"

Wen Renying was about to leave when she saw a dim shadow quietly appear behind the old marquis Zhou Tiance, and she was so frightened that she immediately held her breath.

Just at this moment, the black shadow solidified and revealed a tall man wrapped in a black robe.

He came silently behind Zhou Tiance and said in a low and hoarse voice:
"Old Marquis, it's so late, and you're still drinking alone?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint breath enveloped the entire pond, instantly blocking everything around it.

Zhou Tiance's face suddenly changed, and he turned around abruptly, "You?! How could you..."

The sound stopped abruptly, completely sealed by the breath.

Wen Renying was stunned for a moment, "Who is this?"

She looked at the excited Zhou Tiance and the black-robed man who appeared quietly, with a hint of suspicion on her face.

She carefully controlled a very weak demonic energy and sensed the dark aura in front of her that just excluded her.

The more she sensed it, the more familiar it felt in her heart.

Think back for a moment.

Wen Renying's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and there was also a hint of fear.

"Master of the God Worship Sect...?"

"Yes, is it the chief's aura?!"

Wen Renying instantly restrained the demonic aura around her body, not daring to reveal even a trace of it. She even covered her mouth tightly and used concealment techniques to carefully hide herself.

Even though her demon bloodline has been purified at this moment, she, the nominal deputy sect leader, is still far behind the Sect Master of the Baishen Sect.

No matter the demon bloodline integrated into her body or the skills of the Baishen Sect, she and the Sect Master cannot compare.

Wen Renying looked at the two people in the pavilion carefully and couldn't help cursing in her heart.

"Damn it~ What happened tonight? I was just following your instructions to secretly investigate the Zhao family~"

"How did I meet these big shots?"

However, no matter what she thought, Wen Renying still stared at Zhou Tiance while hiding.

Even though she couldn't hear the sound, she could still judge the content of the conversation between the two people through lip reading.

"...You shouldn't...it's dangerous..."

You shouldn't come to Kyoto Prefecture, it's dangerous here?
"You...try to test Yuan...why even you..."

The master of the sect wants to test your elder brother?

"No need...you should leave Kyoto Prefecture as soon as possible! It's too dangerous here. If you are discovered, you will never leave alive!"

Looking at Zhou Tiance who looked excited, Wen Renying understood what he said more and more skillfully.

"Are you really going to do this?"

"What should I do? Do you need me to cooperate with you... or Grandpa?"

The old guy agreed so easily~
Then why did he pretend to care about Chen Yuan before?

Wenren Ying curled her lips secretly and stared at Zhou Tiance.

She couldn't see the master's face, and she didn't dare to look at him too much for fear of being noticed by him.

After all, those with high cultivation levels are not only aware of the aura of their surroundings, but also their sight.

"Okay! I agree! But only this time. After testing you, you must leave Kyoto Prefecture immediately!"

Afterwards, Wenren Ying saw the man who was suspected to be the leader of the Baishen Sect sit down and drink a few cups face to face with Old Marquis Zhou.

While drinking, the old marquis asked the "leader" about his current situation and future plans.

"Are you here to assassinate Tianjiao?"

"Kyoto Prefecture is different from other places. You have to be careful. If you are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous."

Wenren Ying took every word to heart, and regardless of whether it was useful to Lord Chen Yi or not, she decided to convey it truthfully.

Maybe the information she thought was useless could be exchanged for blood cores from the adults.

If she could obtain another Grandmaster-level demon blood core, she would be able to awaken the bloodline power of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox...

Ziliu!

Unfortunately, the light was dim and Wen Renying could only see half of the black-robed man's plump chin, but not his true face.

"He should be a young man... I didn't expect the master to be so young. I thought he was an old man..."

Wenren Ying secretly kept it in mind and waited quietly for the two to finish.

……

The conversation between the two lasted for half an hour before the man in black robe left.

The old marquis sat quietly for a moment, then stood up and went back to the backyard.

After everything calmed down, Wen Renying waited for another half an hour before quietly escaping.

When she got back to Fengtong Street where the Zhao family lived, she patted her chest, looking frightened.

"He is both the pillar of the Demon Court and the leader's~ Why is this Zhou Mansion so scary~"

Having been in the Baishen Sect for many years, Wen Renying had naturally heard of the name of "Black Impermanence" Liao Wei.

According to rumors, it is an extremely special existence in the Demon Court.

In addition to its profound cultivation, it is also one of the few great demon kings that has been staying in the Tianyuan Continent. It is the right-hand man of all the demon kings and is highly valued.

Moreover, "Black Impermanence" is very good at hiding, and even inside the Demon Court, few demons come into contact with it.

I didn't expect it to appear in Kyoto Prefecture...

Of course, what shocked Wenren Ying even more was the appearance of the Sect Master of the Baishen Sect later on.

After Chen Yi gave the order, she searched for a long time but found nothing. She didn't expect to meet him here unexpectedly.

"It seems that the leader has a close relationship with the old Marquis of the Zhou family? Could it be that he is also connected with the 'Hidden Dragon'?"

Wen Renying suddenly covered her mouth, as if afraid to reveal her true feelings.

Tonight, she seemed to have discovered something extremely extraordinary.

"The Demon Court, the God Worship Sect, the Wei Dynasty Jingye Hou, the 'Hidden Dragon'... the Little Sword Immortal will definitely reward me handsomely!!!"

A hint of excitement flashed across Wenren Ying's face.

Just as he was about to sneak into the Zhao family's house, he paused and looked at the end of the street with a blank expression.

——It was the Minister of Rites Zhao Ruixiang!
"I said that those who are restless must have evil spirits, but I didn't expect that it was my clan's evil spirit."

Zhao Ruixiang stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Wen Renying with a playful look and said, "Can you tell me your identity?"

In an instant, the surroundings were shrouded in a strange and inexplicable atmosphere.

“Black Impermanence” Liao Wei? ?

Wen Renying was secretly shocked, but her body softened. She said in a charming manner with every move she made:
"I am the deputy leader of the Shen Sect, Wenren Ying. I am honored to meet you, sir~"

"The God Worship Sect..." Zhao Ruixiang looked at her with a little surprise, "I didn't expect that they were the demon soldiers trained by my clan."

"I just don't know why you sneaked into Jingdu Prefecture, sneaked into the Zhao family, and secretly followed me to the Zhou family. What's your purpose?"

Wen Renying laughed and said, "I came to Kyoto Prefecture because I was entrusted by the Lord of the Sect to assassinate the Buddhist genius."

After she finished speaking, she paused and her mind changed quickly, and she explained: "I didn't know your identity before, so I was a little careless~ I hope you can forgive me~"

"Assassinating the Buddhist genius?"

Zhao Ruixiang's eyes changed slightly, and he thought: "The Demon Court asked to assassinate Wei Chao's arrogance, and did not specifically point out the Buddhist sect..."

Wenren Ying was stunned for a moment. What did this mean?
Didn’t the Demon Court arrange for the God Worshiping Sect to assassinate a group of Buddhist geniuses?
Or maybe this was all arranged privately by the Sect Master...

With this thought in mind, Wen Renying rolled her eyes and asked tentatively:

"Sir, is there anything wrong with assassinating the Buddha's genius?"

Zhao Ruixiang glanced at her, frowned and said, "Tell me in detail!"

Wen Renying did not dare to neglect and quickly replied:

"After I failed to assassinate 'Little Sword Immortal' Chen Yi a few days ago, the Lord Sect Master specifically asked me to join forces with fellow practitioners to assassinate the Buddhist genius."

"The first one on the list is 'Dakong Buddha' Fuchen!"

Zhao Ruixiang frowned, his eyes became colder, as if there was anger hidden on his face.

Think for a moment.

Just when Wen Renying was feeling anxious, Zhao Ruixiang gritted his teeth and said:

"I knew that Zhou Guanwu was untrustworthy, but I never thought he would dare to deceive the Demon King!"

Wen Renying was stunned: "Sir, I wonder who Zhou Guanwu is?"

The name seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

Mr.Zhou……

Could he be related to the previous Marquis Zhou?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruixiang looked straight at her as if examining her, which made Wen Renying feel uncomfortable.

"S-Sir..."

Before she could finish, Zhao Ruixiang's mouth corners suddenly curled up, revealing a wicked smile.

"That Zhou Guanwu is the leader of your Baishen Sect, don't you know?"

"Master, Master?" Wen Renying said timidly, "I really didn't know before~"

"It's not too late to know now," Zhao Ruixiang looked at her with a smile:
"But his identity has nothing to do with you. I know this very well."

Wenren Ying laughed dryly, "Your Excellency is right~ I only want to worship the Divine Sect~"

Zhao Ruixiang nodded without commenting: "Although it has nothing to do with you, I cannot let you leave."

"What do you mean, sir? I don't understand~"

Wenren Ying became secretly alert and tightened the small wooden sword in her hand.

Zhao Ruixiang shook his head and sighed, "What a pity, it's rare to find a human who can completely inherit the bloodline of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stared at Wen Renying, and his originally slightly cloudy pupils became as dark as ink.

Two black rays shot out from his eyes, silently penetrating the rainy night, as if to devour everything around them, and shot straight towards Wen Renying.

Wen Renying's face changed drastically. Without waiting for further thought, she threw the small wooden sword in her hand and shouted anxiously:
"Sir, help me!!"

The originally plain little wooden sword suddenly emitted a silver-white light as if it sensed a threat when it flew out.

Then, a magnificent silver-white sword light protected Wenren Ying and directly shattered the black light in Zhao Ruixiang's eyes.

at the same time.

The sword light emitted an unrivaled murderous sword intent that enveloped an area of ​​a hundred miles, waking up all the surrounding noble families and heroes from their sleep.

They hurriedly stood up to check - and saw a silver-white sword that was ten feet wide and a thousand feet long rising into the sky!

"This is……"

Zhao Ruixiang frowned and looked at the sword light with a look of surprise.

He looked at Wen Renying who was protected by the sword light and said in a cold voice: "Good, very good!"

"How dare you have an affair with Chen Yi and betray the Demon Court!!"

Wen Renying couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the black light shatter. She subconsciously patted her chest and said:
"I don't want to either, but you want to kill me."

Zhao Ruixiang seemed to be furious, but he knew that this was not the time to get entangled, and the demonic energy around him spread out instantly.

The next moment, a voice resounded throughout Kyoto Prefecture like the deep sea:

"I didn't know you were coming to Kyoto. I apologize for not welcoming you."

Zhao Ruixiang's expression changed slightly, he turned his head to look towards the imperial city in the north, and snorted coldly:

"Mr. Master, you are busy, I am sorry to bother you!"

The owner of that voice was Lin Zhongke, the great teacher of Kyoto Academy!
"Oh? I didn't expect Mr. Liao to be such a well-mannered demon king. This really makes me ashamed."

"Why don't you wait for a moment, Mr. Liao, and do me the honor of coming and chatting with me?"

"No need!"

Seeing that his identity was exposed, "Black Impermanence" Liao Wei no longer hid his body. He tore off his skin in an instant, revealing a human-like black skeleton.

——It turned out to be a skull monster!
After revealing his true identity, Liao Wei looked at Wen Renying angrily.

"'Witch' Wenren Ying! I will remember you!"

"I dare not trouble you to remember this~" Wen Renying laughed dryly and said:

"If possible, please forget about me~"

"you?!"

Liao Wei's body was covered in black bones, and two dark and misty evil spirits appeared in his eye sockets, staring straight at Wen Renying. It was obvious that he was extremely angry.

"very good!"

Before he finished speaking, Liao Wei instantly flew up, and at the same time a ferocious and terrifying demonic aura enveloped the entire Kyoto Prefecture.

"How dare you ruin my good deeds? Even if you have the protection of the Little Sword Immortal, I will not let you go!"

Hearing this, Wen Renying's charming face revealed some fear, but she dared not move and could only hide in the silver-white sword intent.

Liao Wei snorted and looked down at Kyoto Prefecture. A majestic and heavy black shadow instantly condensed in the night sky.

As if all the light was absorbed, the entire Kyoto Prefecture suddenly became dim.

Even in the streets where lanterns were hung, it was still pitch dark.

For a moment, not only the people in Fengtong Street where the Zhao family lived, but also the people in the far corners of the two counties were awakened.

"Mr. Liao, being too overbearing is not a good thing."

The figure of the great gentleman walked out of the imperial city, with one hand behind his waist, looking at the Black Bone Demon King with an indifferent expression.

"You want to stop me?"

Liao Wei opened and closed his mouth, his two rows of pitch-black teeth clattering against each other, and said stiffly:

"Then try it!"

The next moment, it pointed towards Kyoto Prefecture, and the huge black bone demon shadow behind it opened its bony palm and slapped it downwards.

The master frowned when he saw this. He glanced at Wenren Ying below and seemed to sigh, with a sense of noble spirit rising up in his heart.

The red-gold color suddenly illuminated, dispelling the darkness that enveloped Kyoto Prefecture.

Then, he slapped out with his palm, and the huge palm print came from bottom to top, crashing into the bone claws in the sky.

"Kakaka!"

In an instant, the bone claw shattered!
The master actually defeated the bony palm of "Black Impermanence" Liao Wei with one blow, making its inky black skull head even more sinister.

However, just as the great master was about to say something, he saw the shattered bone palm break into several feet long bone palms, which fell straight down and hit Wen Renying.

Wenren Ying's face changed slightly, not knowing whether Xiao Mujian could rescue her, she opened her mouth and shouted, "Master, help me~"

If you don't come, I will die.
At this moment, a majestic tiger roar came from the west - followed by a huge white tiger body taking three steps forward.

Then three huge stars, Pojun, Qisha and Tanlang, appeared one by one and occupied the entire western sky.

In the distance, a subtle figure appeared on the white tiger's head, looking across thousands of miles at the Black Bone Demon King above Kyoto Prefecture.

"Since you are here, then stay."

When the roaring sound like a huge bell resounded throughout Kyoto Prefecture, a dazzling silver-white light suddenly appeared from the head of the white tiger.

——Sword Eleven Firefly!

At the same time, the small wooden sword in front of Wenren Ying emitted light, and the two murderous sword intents stored in it burst out instantly.

When the small wooden sword shattered.

Two silver-white sword intentions shattered the black bone demon's palm above, and rushed to Liao Wei one after another with the arriving Spring Rain Sword.

Liao Wei's voice became even colder, and he roared angrily: "Roar——"

However, before the voice fell, it turned around and left without even looking back!
"'Little Sword Immortal'! Next time, I will kill you!!"

"..."
