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

Chapter 297: Obliterate! (Subscribe)
As the event approached, not only was Kyoto Prefecture gradually becoming bustling with activity, but more and more people from several nearby prefectures began to set off.

Most of them were wanderers who went to Kyoto Prefecture to join in the fun, and there were only a few young geniuses who had just come out of seclusion.

With the promotion of the noble families behind the "Tianjiao List" and the secret dissemination of the Sifang Building, the cultivation levels of the Tianjiao disciples of various sects, academies, holy places and secluded predecessors have become known to the world.

Even if there are some hidden geniuses with extraordinary cultivation, they can only be regarded as unexpected surprises and can hardly affect the "peerless geniuses" in the hearts of the people in the world.

The first one is naturally the "Little Sword Immortal" Chen Yi.

However, after Chen Yi went to the Demon Court and did several big things and the news spread, more and more martial arts elders and court ministers proposed to exclude Chen Yi from the event.

Of course, not allowing Chen Yi to attend the event does not affect his participation in the gambling fight between demons and humans.

Even the people of the Wei Dynasty, who were secretly supported by the demons, had never thought of this.

Disagreements began to arise among the second-ranked Wei Dynasty prodigies.

Xie Dong'an was the first person recommended as the holy land of learning, and Confucian scholars and bachelors from various states also highly praised him.

Even during the period of ban in Kyoto Prefecture, many great scholars in seclusion sent letters to the great master of Kyoto Academy, hoping that he could do his best to improve Xie Dongan's cultivation and technical skills.

In addition to the influence of Xie Dong'an's grandfather, the Left Prime Minister Xie Jing, officials from various departments of the civil department and the noble families behind them also began to exert their efforts.

This also makes Xie Dong'an the most popular person to be called the "second genius".

The second is the prince of Wei, Wei Nantian.

After he returned to Kyoto Prefecture from the secret land of Southern Barbarians, he had been in seclusion in the Imperial City. It was said that during this period, the Nine Thousand Year Old Man personally guided him in his practice.

Next is Liu Lang, the direct disciple of the Sword God Mr. Dongfang, who is hailed as the "second Chen Yi" by many martial artists.

After arriving in Kyoto Prefecture, he went to the "Sword Cultivation Holy Land" outside the prefecture. With Chen Yi's murderous sword intent as a reference, his progress in swordsmanship was rapid.

The last person who has the ability to compete for the title of "Second Prodigy" is Lou Wushan, a disciple of Wuliangshan, the number one Taoist master.

The reason why he is placed last is because he is the most controversial.

Ever since the news of Chen Yijian suppressing Wuliang Mountain spread, almost everyone in the martial arts world supported him unanimously.

First, Hexi Prefecture and nearby prefectures enumerated Wuliangshan's crimes, and then some smaller sects complained about Wuliangshan's tyranny, causing Wuliangshan's reputation to plummet.

Lou Wushan, the son of the Wuliangshan Sect Master, was also affected and could only keep a low profile in Kyoto Prefecture.

When it comes to the position of "the third genius", there are naturally more candidates for young geniuses who are respected and called upon by the people in the world.

There are not only direct disciples from sects, holy places of academies and hidden powerful people, but also some children of aristocratic families and people from the martial arts world, and most of them have cultivation levels above the third level.

"As the old saying goes, the dark period a thousand years ago was a time when great strife broke out among the geniuses of various races in the Tianyuan Continent."

"That's true. At that time, our human race was full of geniuses. Those ancestors were extremely talented, so they were able to suppress the demon court and move north to the Ten Thousand Mountains."

"In my opinion, this is also a time of great contention."

"Oh?"

"In the past thousand years, has there been a genius like 'Little Sword Immortal' Chen Yi? Even the great master claimed that there would be no genius for five hundred years, but his cultivation level was only the second rank at the age of seventeen. Li Qingzhou of Taixu Dao Sect broke through the realm of magical power at the age of thirty, which was already the limit."

"But look at 'Little Sword Immortal', he is in the realm of magical power at the age of seventeen."

"Not only that, his fellow disciples and sisters are all strong in cultivation, especially Xiao Xuanzhen, Lin Xueru and Fairy Hua, whose cultivation is higher than that of their peers in previous generations."

"In previous years, geniuses like them and Xie Dongan would have been at the top of the list, if not overwhelming their peers. But now, in this age of talent, they can only be inferior to others."

"That makes some sense..."

The wanderers were still discussing, and people from nearby prefectures were also on their way.

But those people in the states that were a little further away could only watch the event approaching and lament that they would miss out on this once-in-a-millennium event.

At nightfall, Jeju City.

Sun Zhengqiu looked at the streets outside the Lu Mansion. He was inconspicuous in the darkness in his black clothes.

With the help of Chen Yi, his cultivation has now reached the middle stage of the third level, and his techniques have also improved. He is not worried about being discovered in the territory of Jeju Prefecture.

"You're on time~"

Just then, a charming voice came into his ears.

Sun Zhengqiu glanced around and didn't see anyone, but he didn't neglect it. He clasped his hands together and said:
"Master Wenren, how are you?"

"Forget about the small talk~ I don't like to interact with outsiders~"

Wen Renying's tone was still somewhat charming, but there was a clear sense of alienation in her words.

As they were talking, Wen Renying walked out of the shadows in the corner, still radiant in the night in her red dress. Compared with her previous coquettish and bashful attire, she was now dressed more normally, with the collar covering her proud pair of huge things tightly.

But for some reason, Sun Zhengqiu just glanced at it and quickly lowered his head, his heart suddenly beginning to beat fast.

He didn't know how to describe the feeling just now - he just felt that what he saw in his eyes was not a real human figure, but a demon covered in human skin.

With just one glance, the true energy in Sun Zhengqiu's body began to flow backwards, and his boxing spirit was inexplicably suppressed. He didn't have the slightest desire to resist.

"Master Wenren, if you have any instructions, just tell me directly."

"Tell me the results of your investigation~"

Wen Renying glanced at him and naturally knew why he was like this.
That’s right, she had another breakthrough in her cultivation.

Not only her cultivation level, but also, because of the several demon blood cores of the great demon king level that Chen Yi had given her before, her nine-tailed demon fox bloodline was successfully activated and awakened, and she completely found a trace of the bloodline of the ancient nine-tailed demon fox.

Naturally, she also inherited the bloodline and magical powers of an ancient nine-tailed fox!
Originally Wenren Ying thought that the magical power she inherited from the Nine-tailed Fox's bloodline would be "charm", but when she really broke through, she discovered that her own magical power was actually the Nine-tailed Fox's way of preserving its life - the magical power of nine lives!
One tail represents one life, and if she is killed in battle, the dropped tail can not only revive her, but also temporarily improve her cultivation.

If all nine fox tails fell off, Wenren Ying's cultivation would even break through several major realms in succession.

Although such a temporary improvement would greatly reduce Wenren Ying's lifespan and foundation and increase the time it takes her to recover, in her opinion, the price was worth it.

As long as she follows Chen Yi closely, her cultivation will surely soar in the future.

Because of this, Wen Renying's gratitude and respect for Chen Yi became even stronger, so she changed her usual style and restrained herself a little.

——I am a follower of “Little Sword Immortal” Chen Yi, so naturally I cannot act like the evil heretic I did before!

"Master Wenren," Sun Zhengqiu didn't know what she was thinking, so he lowered his head and said, "According to your instructions, we have found out that the Lu family is indeed acting in secret."

"Not only do they keep bandits outside, they also team up with pirates, evil spirits, etc. to rob businesses along the way, and even lead them to slaughter some nobles and wealthy families."

"In Jeju Prefecture alone, five centuries-old families were robbed by them, and their families were killed on the spot."

At this point, Sun Zhengqiu's face turned ugly: "I also found out that the Lu family still oppressed the people in the name of Taixu Dao Sect and the adults, but claimed to the outside world that it was the work of evil spirits. It's simply..."

Wen Renying's face turned cold, and the look she gave Lu Fu was filled with murderous intent.

Although she was also from the God Worship Sect and was a heretic, most of these demons followed the orders of the Northern Demon Court and mainly dealt with disciples of the righteous way of the world. Just like when several demons from the God Worship Sect assassinated Chen Yi in Jeju Prefecture, they only targeted the jianghu people and would not attack ordinary people.

In comparison, what the Lu family of Jeju Prefecture did was even more shameful than the evil sects such as the Shenshen Sect.

"Can you find out who is behind them?"

"'Qianlong'!" Sun Zhengqiu's eyes flashed with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"I will report this matter to you, my Lord, and let you make the decision!"

"'Hidden Dragon'?" Wen Renying sneered, and the look she gave the Lu family was filled with the word death.

She was aware of the feud between Chen Yi and "Qianlong" before, and had tried to find Zhou Guanwu to investigate. Although it ended up in nothing, with the new and old grudges added together, she would not let "Qianlong" go even without Chen Yi's intervention!
"It is indeed necessary to let the adults know about this, but..."

"But before that, I will ask the Lu family to collect some interest!"

As she spoke, Wen Renying walked away slowly, her figure swaying gracefully with every step, but silently, she surrounded the entire Lu Mansion with the demonic aura of the magical realm.

"Just stay here and I'll be back soon~"

Just as Sun Zhengqiu was about to respond, he realized that Wen Renying was no longer beside him. When he looked up, he only saw a dark mist surrounding the Lu family and could not clearly see the situation inside.

He couldn't help but clench his fists.

"After all, my cultivation is too weak, otherwise I could ask 'Qianlong' to collect some interest."

Since being taken in and trained by "Qianlong" when he was a child, Sun Zhengqiu's hatred for "Qianlong" has grown day by day.

Especially when "Qianlong" asked him and another "Qianlong Seed" to assassinate Chen Yi in Taixu Dao Sect, he firmly believed that "Qianlong" had never regarded them as human beings.

Therefore, over the years, Sun Zhengqiu pretended to obey Qianlong's orders while secretly collecting intelligence about Qianlong in preparation for future settlement.

"Now that we have the support of the adults, the 'Qianlong' should be destroyed!"

Sun Zhengqiu recalled the rumors in the underworld two days ago, and he respected Chen Yi's power even more. He was also very glad that he had decided to take the initiative to join him.

If he hadn't reacted quickly at that time, the grave would probably be covered with grass by now.

It didn't take long, about an incense stick's time, before Sun Zhengqiu saw Wen Renying open the Lu family's door and walk out slowly.

"Is it over?" Sun Zhengqiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head.

"of course."

Wenren Ying licked her tongue, and the nine tails floating behind her shook a few times, quietly turning the entire Lu Mansion into powder.

It didn't collapse with a loud bang, but it silently wiped out the houses, buildings and people inside.

"I am going to Kyoto Prefecture to look for you, please do as you please~"

Before she finished her words, Wenren Ying floated away, with pink mist surrounding her, and she flew out of Jeju Prefecture like a petite dragon.

Sun Zhengqiu noticed the movement around him, looked up, and a look of horror flashed across his face.

I saw that the courtyard where the Lu family originally lived, which covered an area of ​​dozens of acres, had completely disappeared!

“Is this the one who is powerful in the realm of supernatural powers?”

"How terrible!"

……

……

"After the ninth day of the ninth month, spring comes and the days become warmer."

In early spring, even the snow and wind stopped in northern Zhili, and the number of people traveling between the provincial capital and the county towns increased significantly.

Chen Yi also saw the differences between Northern Zhili and Kyoto Prefecture and Jeju Prefecture.

The houses where the people live here are designed to keep out the cold, and unlike Kyoto Prefecture, where the houses are mainly "fang", they live in a much looser manner. A small town like Heiling County has enough land to rival Kyoto Prefecture.

Because of the frequent snow and wind, every household has a cellar and woodshed to store food and firewood for the winter.

During the few days in Heiling County, Chen Yi traveled around in a hurry.

Most of the time, he and his mother Xia Wanwan went to visit Xia family's relatives under the arrangement of his maternal grandfather Xia Qinghai.

The rest of the time was left to the governors, nobles and others of Northern Zhili.

Of course, most of these people came uninvited, and only a very small number were arranged by Chen Taiping.

In his words, Northern Zhili is the rear base of Beixiongguan, and the noble families in each prefecture are the backbone of the Wei Dynasty in resisting evil spirits, so it is worth making friends with one or two of them.

Although Chen Taiping knew that Chen Yi would go to Taizhou Mountain in the future and his ambition was not to serve in the Wei Dynasty or the Wuhou Army, due to his status he had no choice but to ask Chen Yi to help him.

After all, Chen Yi can leave Tianyuan Continent, but he, the Marquis of Wu'an, still has to defend Beixiong Pass day and night, and he also needs to maintain contact with some close people.

"Time flies by so fast..."

As the grand event approached, Xia Wanwan couldn't help but feel reluctant to leave. She looked out the window at the wing room not far away and said quietly:
"Husband, when do you think we can see Yi'er again?"

Chen Taiping sighed secretly when he heard this.

Xia Wanwan was different from him. She was just an ordinary person without any cultivation. Not to mention the affairs of Mount Taizhou, she even knew a little about the affairs of the martial arts world because of Chen Yi. Naturally, he would not tell Chen Yi that he was going to Mount Taizhou.

"If you are reluctant, then follow Yi'er to Kyoto Prefecture."

Xia Wanwan's face lit up with joy: "Really?"

Chen Taiping nodded and said with a smile: "You have been with me in Beizhili for two years. It's time to return to Kyoto Prefecture."

"If you are worried about my father-in-law, you can take them with you. The grand event will start in a few days, so it would be good to let them go and see it for themselves."

"Father and the others..." Xia Wanwan thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on her face:
"I'll listen to you."

Chen Taiping looked at Xia Wanwan, who was filled with joy. He glanced at the room where Chen Yi was from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but sigh.

After the event, Yier will go to Taizhou Mountain... Even he doesn't know when they will meet next time.

"Madam, do you think we should arrange the marriage of Yi'er and Xueru in advance?"

"marriage?"

Xia Wanwan's expression of joy paused, then after realizing what was happening, she said hurriedly, "They are not young anymore, they can certainly take care of things."

"Is that so?" Chen Taiping said with a smile, "Duke Xing came to talk about this matter a few days ago, and he seemed to be quite anxious."

Xia Wanwan nodded vigorously: "Then I will go find Madam Zhu Yu when I return to Jingdu Prefecture..."

Chen Yi’s engagement is a big deal, so as a mother, it’s her natural responsibility!
