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

Chapter 133 Betrayal (Subscription Request)

After leaving Zhennan Pass, the mountain road is rugged and steep.

The lush forest and huge trees made it difficult for even the Black Wind Horse that Chen Yi was riding to increase its speed.

In addition, it was difficult to identify the direction, so in the end they had to travel on foot.

Fortunately, there were many wanderers from the Wei Dynasty along the way, so they didn't get lost.

However, for the sake of convenience, Chen Yi and others discussed and decided to find a nearby caravan.

——The Shen Family Business Company, a family caravan that travels between the Southern Barbarians and the Wei Dynasty for business all year round.

"Brother Shen, it's more convenient for you to ride this Red Blood Leopard."

Chen Yi and his three companions rode on a red-blooded leopard. Not only did they not feel crowded, but the leopard also walked very steadily, as if walking on flat ground in the dense forest.

"Haha, that's natural,"

The person in charge of the company, Shen Rufeng, a middle-aged man with a big belly, smiled while pinching his beard:

"My Shen family has been doing this southern barbarian business for a hundred years, and we have already figured out the situation here."

"Besides, almost every tribe along the way has people from my Shen family business, including barbarians and Wei people."

Xie Changle liked to hear these things the most, and asked with great interest: "Brother, I'm afraid your return trip will be around the end of the year, right?"

Shen Rufeng cursed: "If I hadn't been unlucky and drawn a bad lot, I wouldn't have come to this place."

"It would be nice to have some beautiful wives at home and listen to some music."

"A shabby place?"

"Don't disbelieve me, those barbarian tribes are boring." Shen Rufeng introduced:
"The better tribes are well-equipped, have many practitioners and are literate, and can communicate a little."

"In the more remote areas, everyone is wrapped in animal skins, and both men and women are everywhere..."

Shen Rufeng glanced at the Flower Fairy and Xiao Xuan and was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so he made a gesture of "there are three urgent things in life".

"The secret place you are going to is located in the deep forest of the southern barbarian land. Several tribes there are extremely hostile to the Wei people."

"is it?"

"It's always better to be careful, right?"

Chen Yi listened to the conversation between the two and looked around thoughtfully.

They also didn't know where the Chu family group ahead of them, Gongye Shou and Xie Dong'an, had gone.

Although he met many martial artists along the way, he had never seen a genius from the heavenly or earthly rankings.

This made him feel a little confused.

"Perhaps it's because the Southern Barbarian Land is so vast and the people are too scattered?"

Chen Yi didn't know, and then he suppressed this doubt in his heart. As his sword intent spread, he always paid attention to the movements around him.

At nightfall, everyone followed the Shen family caravan to settle in the dense forest.

Shen Rufeng commanded the caravan guards and planted flags around them - the flags of the tribes where several shamans of the Nanman Religion lived.

Chen Yi looked at what they were doing with curiosity and asked about the origins of those flags.

"In the southern barbarian land, the name of us Wei people is useless."

"My Shen family spent a lot of money to get these flags from the Nanman Sect."

While Shen Rufeng was arranging various matters, he introduced:

"In addition to the flag, the blood core of the big demon used to drive away the demons is also a must-have item for coming here."

"Otherwise, even if those barbarians don't come, the demons hidden in the forest will come and kill us."

As he spoke, Shen Rufeng looked at Chen Yi and the others with envy in his eyes.

"It would be even more perfect if there were a few sect disciples like you in the caravan."

"I, Old Shen, don't have to worry all day about something going wrong on the way."

Chen Yi smiled and continued to watch the caravan make preparations.

In addition to the tribal flags and the blood core of the great demon mentioned earlier, there is also a stone slab written in the barbarian language and a set of Taoist formations.

It took more than half an hour to arrange the place thoroughly.

Shen Rufeng looked at the curious eyes of several people and said with a wry smile: "There are many right and wrong in the land of the Southern Barbarians. It is better to be careful. It is better to be careful. Haha."

"Speaking of which, a few days ago, a new volume of the Tianjiao Ranking was published. Have you read it yet?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Changle hurried over and said with a smile, "Boss Shen, show it to me quickly."

Shen Rufeng smiled and nodded. He brought up this topic because he wanted to find something for them to do.

In the martial arts world, nothing can attract more people than the "Tianjiao List".

Not long after, Xie Changle brought two volumes of "The List of Prodigies". The four of them sat together, eating the cakes they brought with them while reading the contents.

"Junior brother, your number one position has been shaken!"

As soon as he opened the silver cover of the Earth Ranking, Xie Changle's eyes widened and he transmitted a message to several people:
"The current number one on the Earth Ranking is Xie Dongan from Kyoto Academy!"

"Ok?"

"Junior brother 'Little Sword Immortal', is this the person we met in the inn earlier?" Xiao Xuanzhen asked suspiciously.

Chen Yi nodded, then stepped forward and looked at the content described on the land list.

When he met Xie Changle that night, he realized that the grandson of the Left Prime Minister was very powerful, but he did not expect that he could be ranked first on the Earth List.

"Xie Dong'an, grandson of Left Prime Minister Xie Jing, a top three student at Kyoto Academy, and a student of 'Great Master' Lin Zhongke."

"His cultivation has reached the second level of Divine Wandering. His literary energy is like a dragon. He already has the potential to become a semi-saint!"

Seeing this, Xie Changle said thoughtfully: "The potential of a semi-saint is above the level of mastery of skills, which is equal to the level of sword heart enlightenment of Junior Brother."

Chen Yi nodded. Confucianism and Taoism are two independent entities that can cultivate a noble spirit and also possess technical skills.

Half-saint is equivalent to the realm of swordsmanship, and saint is the realm of supernatural powers.

Below the semi-saints are great scholars, great doctors, etc.

"In the southern barbarian land, I killed a second-grade demon from the Divine Wandering Realm, as well as several third-grade demons from the Heavenly Combination Realm."

Xie Changle said with a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that the weak scholar I met before would have such strength. It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance."

As he said that, he looked at Chen Yi and blinked: "Now Junior Brother's first place on the Earth Ranking is gone."

Chen Yi smiled but didn't say anything, his mood was not affected at all.

With so many talented people emerging nowadays, it is understandable that he cannot maintain his number one position.

Seeing this, Flower Fairy spoke up for the first time: "Brother Changle, I believe that Brother Chen will definitely be able to catch up."

"Yes, yes, yes... Your Senior Brother Chen is extremely talented. He is definitely not comparable to ordinary people."

The flower fairy blushed and lowered her head silently.

Xiao Xuanzhen glanced at her, then urged Xie Changle to continue reading.

But when Xie Changle turned the page, his expression changed again and his tone became a little more exaggerated.

"The fifteenth prince Wei Nantian is second. His cultivation has reached the upper stage of the Divine Wandering Realm, and his boxing skills have broken through to the Enlightenment Realm!"

"Horrible, horrible, really horrible!"

"Compared to 20 years ago, today's Tianjiao's strength is really fucking terrifying."

Chen Yi ranked third, followed by Lou Wushan, the successor of Wuliangshan's Fantian Dao.

The fifth person also appeared as a newcomer - Yuan Dingshan, the alchemist from Luofeng Island in Dongzhou, who was a third-grade Tianhe realm cultivator.

"..."

When Xie Changle read out the fourteenth name, Chen Yuan, he started shouting again.

"Brother, come quickly, come and see!"

Chen Yi moved closer, not knowing what was going on, his eyes slightly widened.

It was clearly written on the "Heavenly Pride List·Earthly Pride List" that Chen Yuan, the master of Jue Dao, and Ling Yinrong, the master of Jian Feng Shan of Taixu Dao Sect, worked together to kill four shamans of the Nanman Sect!
"Senior Sister Ling and the boss?"

What kind of strange fate is this?

"No wonder Senior Sister Ling said she had something to deal with,"

Xie Changle looked at him strangely and said, "So the senior sister is with your brother." "Now it seems that the one who helped Chen Yuan kill the Nanman Sect's Great Shaman is also the third senior sister."

Chen Yi nodded, still feeling that the world was too small.

"What should we do? It looks like they are being hunted by the Nanman Cult. Should we go over and help them?"

Xie Changle looked at Chen Yi, his face full of inquiry.

Chen Yi thought for a moment, looked at Flower Fairy and Xiao Xuanzhen and said:
"Let's find a tribe and ask where they are tomorrow when we are on the road."

"If we can determine their location, I will go and help them escape from those barbarians."

"You?" Xiao Xuanzhen was stunned when he heard this: "Junior Brother 'Little Sword Immortal', you want to go alone?"

"Yes." Chen Yi nodded. "You three go to that secret place first. I will go there and join you after I rescue them."

Although there are many dangers in the southern barbarian land and it is not appropriate for the four to separate, don't forget that Gu Tiangang and Sun Daofu are still there, enough to protect the Flower Fairy and the other two.

"Brother," Flower Fairy said without hesitation, "I'll go with you!"

Chen Yi glanced at Xiao Xuanzhen and shook his head.

He knew that if he agreed to the Flower Fairy's proposal, Xiao Xuanzhen would probably follow suit.

Instead of that, it would be better for the four of us to act together.

"It's settled. I'll set out tomorrow after I find out where they are."

"I will inform Master Gu and the others about this later. You can go to the secret realm without any worries."

The flower fairy had no choice but to nod.

Xiao Xuanzhen curled his lips, raised his head and did not raise any objections.

Upon seeing this, Xie Changle gave Chen Yi some instructions and then continued reading the two volumes of "The List of Prodigies".

"A time of great contention, a time of great contention, the following grand event will be interesting!"

……

Just when Chen Yi learned from the "Tianjiao List" that the third senior sister was with the eldest brother, he was thinking of going to rescue them.

Chen Yuan and Ling Yinrong, who had already gone deep into the southern barbarian land, were in a very bad situation.

At this moment, night fell and the roars of demons could be heard from time to time, causing gusts of wind and waves in the silent and dark forest.

Chen Yuan, shirtless, carried Ling Yinrong on his back and walked towards the depths with determination, step by step.

Not far behind them, Lu Zhao looked haggard, his black clothes already stained with blood, but he still followed them closely.

"My Lord, my Lord..."

Swish!
Before Lu Zhao could finish his words, a gust of wind from a knife had already cut through his arm, and one arm slipped down.

Lu Zhao looked ashen, and he paid no attention to the injury on his shoulder.

The physical pain was far less than the regret in his heart.

Chen Yuan paused, stretched out his hand to recall the Wanjun Sword, and looked at him sideways. The corner of his eyes was filled with endless murderous intent and a little struggle.

"If you don't leave, I'll kill you!"

Lu Zhao smiled bitterly but ignored his threat and continued to stagger over.

Swish!
Another flash of knife light flashed by.

This time, Lu Zhao lost a leg.

However, he still didn't care, and followed slowly and firmly with one hand and one leg.

Just as Chen Yuan was about to strike out with his sword again, he noticed Ling Yinrong opening her mouth on his back.

"Let's go, let's go quickly..."

"He, he wants to turn you into a demon..."

Chen Yuan turned around and looked at her, forcing a smile on his face.

"Senior sister, I won't!"

"That's good……"

Having said that, Ling Yinrong closed her eyes again and lay on his back motionless.

Compared with the previous injury, this time she was more seriously injured and her body was covered with scars.

If it weren't for the true energy in her body, she would have died in the previous battle.

Chen Yuan looked at her like this, and a hint of sadness flashed across his cold face.

Then he looked at Lu Zhao behind him, his voice regained its composure, and asked, "Why did you betray me?"

"Lord, Lord,"

Lu Zhao was almost exhausted. Seeing him asking, he ignored his injuries and quickly explained:
"Yes, it was the order from Qianlong."

"My Lord, someone wants to harm you!"

Chen Yuan's expression remained calm. A ray of moonlight shone on his face through the gaps in the dense forest, and his figure faded into the shadows.

"Who?"

"Chief, it's the chief!"

"The person who asked you to come earlier?"

"No, no, it's that big leader. I don't know his identity..."

Chen Yuan clenched his fists, his eyes cold.

The person who asked Lu Zhao to come earlier was the old housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, Chen Yan.

If the leader of "Qianlong" is not him, then it can only be someone else - his great-grandfather, Jingye Hou Zhou Tiance!
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan gritted his teeth and endured the cold murderous intent in his heart, and continued to ask:

"Did he ask you to ruin my sword intention?"

"Subordinates, subordinates don't know."

Lu Zhao couldn't hold on any longer and leaned against a tree, his face pale and bloodless.

"For example, now that I think about it, he must have deliberately let the master experience betrayal so that he would never trust anyone again..."

"Perhaps there is also a plan to take the master's sword power to a higher level!"

"My Lord, please be extremely careful. I..."

Lu Zhao struggled to look up, but found that Chen Yuan was no longer there.

Lu Zhao gave a wry smile and then did not get up to chase after him.

So be it. I am a person who has been living in misery, and dying here is a blessing.

It's better than asking him to do something against his will again.

My Lord, I am sorry...

Chen Yuan ignored Lu Zhao and left him to fend for himself.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuan carefully put Ling Yinrong down and woke her up.

"Where is this?"

Ling Yinrong seemed to be in better condition, leaning against a tree and looking at him.

Chen Yuan's face lit up with joy, but he thought of his previous experience and said with pursed lips: "Sorry, Senior Sister, I broke my promise."

He failed to protect Ling Yinrong as he had promised.

"No, it's okay..."

Ling Yinrong smiled and said nonchalantly: "Things in the world are never smooth sailing."

"Just like your companion, he had good intentions, but he just followed the wrong person."

Chen Yuan nodded, suppressed the anger and hatred in his heart, and said with a smile:

"Senior Sister, are you hungry? I'll go find you something to eat."

"Okay, okay, but don't go too far, I'm afraid..."

"it is good!"
