Chapter 101 The Fourth Counterattack Mission (Subscription Request)

[Use counterattack points to issue tasks - everyone in the world knows you! ]

[Forty-five years old, you have been a disciple of Taixu Taoist Sect for thirteen years, and your cultivation has only improved to the fifth level of Baodan realm?
Haha, laziness is a sin!

Fortunately, you have achieved a breakthrough in swordsmanship, otherwise you really should go to the eighteenth level of hell! 】

[On this day you were practicing in Jianfeng Mountain, and the death knell rang on Taixu Peak.

Your master Li Qingzhou returned seriously injured. You just learned that Zhan Hongxiu, Lu Cheng, Ning Xue, Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi died in the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain.

All of this originated from the fact that twenty years ago, the human race and the demon race were defeated in a gambling battle among the younger generations at the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, resulting in the loss of some kind of support.

All these things ignited the anger in your heart, and you vowed to avenge them. (Questionable)]

[However, because your age exceeds the Taizhou Mountain battlefield recruitment requirements, you cannot enter the battlefield.

Then you asked Li Qingzhou for help and learned that there was a second way to enter the Taizhou Mountain battlefield.

That is, when you are famous throughout the world and your strength is enough to be recognized by one of the five killing gods in the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, you will be eligible to be recruited. 】

[Please make yourself famous and be qualified to be recruited to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield! Reward: Sword Dao Divine Ability Realm! ]

[Note: Your reputation must spread beyond the Wei Dynasty, including the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Southern Barbarians, the Western Buddhist Kingdom, the offshore islands, etc.

Due to geographical and transmission speed restrictions, you are only given five years.

If the mission fails or is not completed within the deadline, you will lose all your sword skills! 】

[Current task completion progress: 30%. (?????)]

"Who in the world doesn't know you..."

Chen Yi silently recited the task requirements on the panel in his mind, his eyes stopping on the description in the middle.

"The death knell of Taixu Peak has sounded."

"Senior Sister Zhan, Senior Brother Lu, Senior Sister Ning, Junior Sister Hua, and Xiao Xuanzhen all died in the battle of Mount Taizhou?"

Chen Yi read this passage for a long time.

I don't know when it started, but his hand was already on the hilt of the Chunyu sword, a hint of scarlet appeared in his eyes, and the murderous sword intent slowly wrapped around him.

Then, there was thunder in broad daylight.

The sky above Taixu Dao Sect was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Snowflakes are falling.

It actually snowed in late winter and early spring.

Chen Yi came back to his senses, looked up at the sky, and the murderous intent in his body slowly dissipated.

This was the first time that he felt such emotional fluctuations after seeing the "future" depicted on the panel.

Even when he was one year old and saw the miserable life he led, he didn't have the urge to kill like he does now.

Because at that time, he had not yet experienced the destruction of his talent by poisoning, and he was not familiar with Jingye Hou Zhou Tiance.

The same was true for the second time he broke off the engagement and the third time he was "humiliated" by Xiao Xuanzhen.

Chen Yi did not feel the same way. He might feel resentful, but he would not really take it out on others.

And after completing the task, he will not really do anything to those people. He may even do something in his own way to influence or change them.

For example, the boss Chen Yuan.

After the one-year-old ceremony, Chen Yi never distanced himself from Chen Yuan, nor did he plot against him.

Just because he believed that a half-grown child was innocent.

For example, Lin Xueru.

Ever since Chen Yi made the engagement with her, he only hoped that the little girl would improve her cultivation and become a better person.

Even if he might be broken off again in the end, he would not regret it.

And Xiao Xuanzhen... well, that clan leader's daughter is just like that.

In short, when Chen Yi treated the tasks on the panel before, he never thought that they were real.

He will only use his own way to prevent that kind of "future" from actually happening.

However, this time is different.

Whether it is Zhan Hongxiu, Ning Xue, Hua Xianzi and Xiao Xuanzhen, whom he has known and known for more than ten years, or Lu Cheng, whom he has only recently met, they are all people Chen Yi is familiar with and close to.

Five people died on the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain.

Chen Yi's heart couldn't help but waver when he just thought about the possibility of such an outcome.

Even if he knew that this was not true, it might not happen in thirty years.

He still couldn't accept it!
"Mr. Ning has been teaching me since I was a child."

"The carefree Senior Sister Zhan, the straightforward and free-spirited Senior Brother Lu, and the Junior Sister Hua who prepared elixirs for me to practice."

"It would make me very sad if they died."

Chen Yi felt a chill in his heart, and then walked away from the back mountain.

Isn’t it just “The world knows you”?

He just picked it up!
Li Qingzhou in the Taoist temple looked at Chen Yi's receding figure, then looked at the dark clouds and falling snow in the sky, with a look of confusion on his face.

"You were fine before, why did you become a different person after you left the house?"

"Look at the murderous intent rising to the sky. He is so angry. I am afraid that many people will die, right?"

Thinking of this, Li Qingzhou sighed suddenly and returned to the hut.

He is not an old antique from Taizhou Mountain. He will not judge a person's character based on his fierce and murderous sword skills.

In addition, years of fighting have made him indifferent to many things, so he does not take some things to heart.

As long as there is a reason for what the disciples do, it is enough.

……

Chen Yi returned to the Jianfeng Mountain martial arts field from the back mountain, his face still thoughtful.

He was still thinking about the information on the panel, and always felt that there might be some deeper meaning hidden in it.

At this moment, the sound of Ning Xue and others fighting came from not far away, interrupting his thoughts.

Chen Yi came back to his senses and looked over.

"Senior Sister Ning, it's snowing."

Hua Youxiang rolled the snow into a ball and threw it at Mr. Ning.

Li Mingyue followed suit, but threw the snowball at Erhua.

Although Ning Xue was a little amused, she did not spoil their fun and quietly signaled to Lu Youxiang and his fellow disciples.

Then several people made a few snowballs and threw them at Hua Youxiang together.

"Hey, hey?"

"Okay, you guys, watch how I fight back."

Hua Youxiang was hit several times, but there was still a smile on her face. She ran while making a big snowball to fight back.

Everyone in the group tacitly understood each other and did not use their true energy or body movements to dodge, but simply played around.

"Haha, Senior Sister Hua, if you don't beg for mercy, don't blame me for being rude."

"I'm not afraid, just come... Hey, why are you guys together? It's not fair!"

Hua Youxiang looked at the dozen or so snowballs coming at her and ran away with her head in her arms. She noticed Chen Yi not far away and quickly shouted:

"Good man, help, help, help..."

Good guy?
Chen Yi felt a little dazed. He hadn't heard this name for a long time.

Five years, or maybe ten years.

At this time, Hua Youxiang came running over, hid behind him, and pointed at Li Mingyue and the others to complain.

"Brother, hurry up, help me fight back."

Chen Yi laughed in silence, but did not refuse. He helped Hua Youxiang, Li Mingyue and others play snowball fights.

"Ah, Senior Brother Chen, spare my life."

"Don't hit me, don't hit me."

The funniest thing was Lu Youxiang, who was dressed the most conspicuously and soon became the target of everyone's attack.

"Help, help..."

After playing for a long time, Chen Yicai smiled, straightened his Taoist robe, and greeted Ning Xue.

"Senior Sister, I'm going to go to other peaks."

He wanted to walk around and think through the things he hadn't finished thinking about before.

"it is good."

Ning Xue watched him walk out of Jianfeng Mountain and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

There seemed to be something wrong with Junior Brother Chen. Was she overthinking it?
……

On Taixu Peak.

After Lin Xueru and Xiao Xuanzhen finished practicing the Eight Methods of Taixu, they looked at the snowflakes floating down from the sky and felt much refreshed.

"It's snowing."

Lin Xueru was wearing a pink outfit that was convenient for practicing techniques. Her long hair was blowing in the mountain breeze and a smile appeared on her jade-like face.

She stretched out her clean hands and let a few snowflakes fall on them.

Without waiting for the snowflakes to melt, she used the water-condensing technique to condense them into ice, which was crystal clear.

Xiao Xuanzhen watched her movements and said suspiciously, "It's already late winter, but it's still snowing. It's a bit strange."

Lin Xueru did not respond to her and continued to smile.

"Brother Yi's favorite thing is snow."

"I remember when we were little, when we went to his house, he would ask the teachers to hold classes outside the wing whenever it snowed."

"Then, we would sit around the stove, each with a cup of hot tea in hand. We would listen to the teachers' lectures and watch the snowflakes falling in the yard."

“I was really happy at that time.”

"Are you unhappy now?" Xiao Xuanzhen looked at her and asked.

To be honest, she envied the kind of childhood that Lin Xueru described.

Unlike her, who has lived in Taixu Taoist Sect and on Taixu Peak since she was a child, without any peers to live with.

Although there are many people around her, she knows that those senior brothers and sisters only take care of her because of her father.

If it weren't for Xiao Huang, perhaps she would have lived a worse life than those true disciples and would have been an outer disciple at best.

All day long, in addition to practicing, you also have to do various chores.

"I am happy too," Lin Xueru said with a smile, "but after coming here, we rarely have the opportunity to get together."

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."

"It's not just Brother Yi and me, the same goes for the others." "They all have their own things to do. For example, the young princess is busy practicing the essentials of the Qimen lineage, and Brother Yongnian has to forge after his practice."

Having said this, Lin Xueru's smile gradually faded and she looked a little lost.

She could imagine that after a few years, it would be even more difficult for them to get together.

Maybe even she and Chen Yi will be the same?

Xiao Xuanzhen listened and watched, with a thoughtful look on his face.

She guessed what Lin Xueru was thinking, but the questions she had asked her father Xiao Huang before emerged in her mind.

"Father, why doesn't Chen Yi have to take part in the sect's small test and still get a place?"

Xiao Huang told her that Chen Yi's strength was far beyond his peers in the sect, and if he took part in the test, it would only be a blow to others.

Xiao Xuanzhen asked unconvincedly: "Is it a blow to me too?"

At that time, Xiao Huang answered her like this: "The more people think they are more talented, the more they can feel the gap."

It was at that time that Xiao Xuanzhen knew that Chen Yi's swordsmanship had improved further and reached the realm of sword heart enlightenment.

In addition to being in disbelief, she completely gave up the desire to compete with Chen Yi.

Because Xiao Xuanzhen suddenly figured it out—Chen Yi and she are not in the same world!
The gap was so big that no matter how hard she tried, she could not catch up with Chen Yi, and it was even difficult for her to see his back.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanzhen looked at Lin Xueru and felt that she and Chen Yi were not from the same world.

Perhaps at some point in the future, they will become strangers because of that gap.

"Junior sister, what do you think Chen Yi is doing right now?"

Lin Xueru thought about it seriously and said hesitantly:
"He may be cultivating, practicing swordsmanship, or admiring the falling snow on the mountain."

Xiao Xuanzhen was stunned and said, "Don't you know him best? Can't you guess it?"

Lin Xueru replied: "Brother Yi only does what he thinks is right and what he likes to do."

"how about you?"

"As for me," Lin Xueru looked up at the sky, with a hint of shyness on her face as bright as the moon: "No matter what he does, I like it."

"..."

Xiao Xuanzhen pouted, her cheeks puffed out, and the beauty mole at the corner of her mouth was very eye-catching.

This answer made her very unhappy. What was going on?
Junior sister, you are the third among the "Ten Fairies of Taoism" and you have both good cultivation and talent. How can you only think about him in your heart?

At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Is it possible that he ran to Taixu Peak to find you?"

Before Xiao Xuanzhen could react, the voice sounded familiar.

She felt Lin Xueru running away from her side, so fast that a sharp wind blew her long hair into disarray.

When she looked again, she found that her Junior Sister Lin had thrown herself into someone's arms.

Chen Yi!
Xiao Xuanzhen recognized the man's appearance and turned his head away with a pout.

She wanted to take back what she had just thought - that was not a human being!
"Brother Yi, why are you here?" Lin Xueru smiled sweetly.

"Of course I came to see you."

Chen Yi helped Lin Xueru to stand steadily, took out a jade pendant from his Sumeru bag and placed it in her hand.

"A gift for you."

He also transmitted a message, "There are three sword intentions sealed by my master on it. Use them carefully and don't lose them."

That’s right, Chen Yi gave the life-saving magic weapon given to him by Li Qingzhou to Lin Xueru.

Originally, when he was in Jeju Prefecture, he also prepared a hairpin for the little girl.

But after seeing the content of the counterattack mission on the panel, he changed his mind.

Although the hairpin looks nice, the little girl’s safety is more important.

"What about you, Brother Yi?"

Lin Xueru held the jade pendant and felt warm in her heart, but she began to worry about Chen Yi's safety.

"Don't worry, I don't need it for protection."

Chen Yi replied with a smile, motioning for her to keep the jade pendant close to her body.

This is indeed the case.

Li Qingzhou's sword intent is powerful, but it only helps him temporarily.

By the time he completes this counterattack mission, his swordsmanship will reach the supernatural level and he will be strong enough to protect himself.

If at that time he still encountered an enemy he could not defeat, even if he used Li Qingzhou's sword jade pendant, it would probably be of no use.

It would be better to leave it to the little girl to keep her safe.

"Thank you, Brother Yi." Lin Xueru's eyes were like stars, shining directly at Chen Yi, and she happily put away the jade pendant.

Xiao Xuanzhen walked over and also looked at Chen Yi.

"Since you have come to Taixu Peak, come and fight me."

Chen Yi ignored her invitation to fight and took out a hairpin from his Sumeru bag and gave it to her.

"this is yours."

Xiao Xuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Lin Xueru, then said, "Who wants your gift?"

Despite what she said, she took the hairpin obediently.

The inconsistent behavior of his actions and words made the little girl and Chen Yi laugh.

"I, I just think there's something wrong with this hairpin and want to check it out."

"Yes, that's true, Senior Sister." Lin Xueru nodded.

Chen Yi laughed even louder.

Xiao Xuanzhen glared at him in embarrassment, then casually inserted the hairpin on top of her head, swung it a few times and said:
"Humph, you're honest and didn't do anything secretly."

"Hahaha……"

"I've already told you that's what I really think, you guys..."

The three of them were talking and laughing, so the fight naturally ended in nothing.

Chen Yi asked about the progress of Lin Xueru and Xiao Xuanzhen's cultivation, and was relieved to learn that they had already mastered the Eight Methods of Taixu.

"I am looking forward to your performance in the sect's small test."

For a long time, Chen Yi rarely paid attention to the cultivation of people around him like he did today.

It should be said that after he mastered the art of swordsmanship, he no longer had a great sense of urgency and was confident that he would be able to "defeat ten skills with one force" in the future.

However, the content of today's mission gave him a heavy blow.

It was not because of the news of "Zhan Hongxiu and others' death", but because Chen Yi thought of another thing -

Master Li Qingzhou's cultivation and swordsmanship are so powerful, but he still cannot influence the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain!

And according to what was said on the panel, Li Qingzhou was not one of the five killing gods on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield decades later.

This means that there are many powerful people in that place.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi no longer had any joy about his upcoming advancement to the realm of sword power.

After all, even after his sword skills were advanced, his strength was still no better than Li Qingzhou's.

Then the problem that his master couldn't solve was solved by him...

"People who don't have to take the sect's small examination will say nice things." Xiao Xuanzhen muttered.

"Senior sister," Lin Xueru looked at her and said angrily, "Brother Yi is not what you think."

"Okay, okay, no, no... I won't say anything more."

Xiao Xuanzhen looked at the two of them unhappily, left them alone, and turned away.

After she walked away, she touched the hairpin on her head again, with a look of pride on her charming face.

It’s just a hairpin. Give him a better one next time!

A magic weapon, it must be a magic weapon!

Chen Yi and Lin Xueru looked at Xiao Xuanzhen walking away and both laughed.

After laughing for a while.

Lin Xueru looked at Chen Yi and felt that he was a little different. She asked, "Brother Yi, did something happen to you?"

Chen Yi thought that the little girl's intuition was sharp enough, and shook his head and said, "Nothing."

He would not reveal what was on the panel to anyone.

It's not just the invisible pressure, but also that he doesn't want things that haven't happened yet to affect the people around him.

After a while.

Chen Yi thought for a moment and asked, "If you find out in the future that your cultivation is too high and you have to take on things that you shouldn't take on, will you regret it?"

Lin Xueru looked at him and thought seriously.

"Then, does Brother Yi have to take responsibility too?"

"Maybe."

"Then I won't regret it," Lin Xueru laughed.

"If I take on some of the responsibility, I can help Brother Yi."

Chen Yi smiled, patted her shoulder, and said gently:

"Then you should go back and have a good rest. There is no need to rush into cultivation."

Lin Xueru knew that her brother Yi was hiding something in his heart, but she did not ask. She said with a smile on her face:

"Yeah, Brother Yi should come back too."

After saying that, she turned and trotted away.

After running outside the wing room, Lin Xueru turned around and warned Chen Yi from a distance: "Be careful when you go down the mountain."

Chen Yi smiled and waved, then turned and walked down the mountain.

He knew that Lin Xueru had misunderstood the meaning of the question.

But correspondingly, he also understood the little girl's intentions.

"fair enough."

Chen Yi walked down the mountain step by step along the path, riding on the drifting snow under the gloomy clouds.

Only he knew that if it weren't for his appearance and changes, the little girl would not have met the requirements for recruitment to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield.

That was the purpose of his asking that question.

Because of him, the little girl might have to bear things that she shouldn't bear.

Chen Yi looked at the snow outside the mountain, grasped the hilt of the sword, subconsciously tightened it, and murmured:
"I hope I can keep you safe for the rest of your life!"
