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

Chapter 168 Resurrection (Subscription Request)

At dawn, morning light and clouds hang in the east.

Yesterday's dark clouds have dispersed and the rainstorm has stopped, but the atmosphere inside Zhennan Pass is still a little depressing.

Large flatbed carts were slowly pulled by horned mules to the foot of the southern city wall. Their heavy hooves stepped on the flooded stone road, splashing water.

The soldier driving the horned mule had a heavy face and stared with a little sadness as he watched the corpses being carried out from the pass.

Some were relatively intact, while others were left with only limbs, with a nameplate representing their identity hanging in their flesh and blood, stacked on stretchers - a miserable death.

Not far behind the city gate was a temporary camp for wounded soldiers.

From a long distance away, one could hear the wailing and groaning coming from inside, accompanied by panicked cries for help, which made the passing soldiers sigh and shake their heads.

"Brothers, stop sighing. At least we defeated the barbarians, right?"

Someone forced a smile to ease the atmosphere, but seeing that no one around agreed, he could only smile awkwardly and shut his mouth.

War is always cruel.

Even though the Wei Dynasty won this time, it suffered heavy casualties.

For the lower-level soldiers, the dead were their comrades, and among them might be blood relatives.

"We were able to survive this time, thanks to the help of Marquis Wu'an's son, the young marquis."

"If he hadn't dealt with the remaining barbarians and demons, even Wu Lao and the others would have died."

"Speaking of Mr. Wu, it's a pity for him."

"Yes, there is only a quarter of an hour left before the 'Little Sword Immortal' makes his move. If he holds on a little longer, he won't have to desperately use the forbidden technique."

"The dead are gone, let us look forward..."

After a night, the soldiers inside Zhennan Pass were still immersed in yesterday's fierce battle, and few came out.

Even Prince Zhennan Gongye Jiahong, who had not experienced it personally, felt heavy-hearted.

"Collect the bodies of the soldiers, and prepare the armor for those whose bodies are gone. I want every one of them to return home in glory!"

"The pension will be distributed to their families according to the rules. No, it will be 20% more. The money required will be paid from the spoils of war collected this time."

Gongye Jiahong paused, looked at Baihua Hou and said:

"The court replied that the Minister of Rites Wang Gongwang has already set out. You should prepare to negotiate with the Southern Barbarians."

Pang Zongkang nodded in response, observing the normal-looking Prince of Zhennan from the corner of his eye, and asked hesitantly:
"Your Majesty, who is the representative of the Southern Barbarian Cult?"

"The new high priest Rosa," Gongye Jiahong said with displeasure, "that old fox is very cunning, don't be fooled by him."

"When Tu Lu was strong before, he was patient and didn't take any action. Now that Tu Lu is dead, he jumped out and pledged his loyalty to Ling Nuo."

Pang Zongkang frowned and said thoughtfully: "Losa is a conservative in the Nanman Sect and has very close relations with various small tribes."

"Yes, I have heard about it." Xu Hengjun snorted, "He was hiding before, but now he is active."

Gongye Jiahong waved his hand and said, "He's just a clown. Don't pay too much attention to him."

"The Nanman Cult suffered heavy losses this time, and it will be difficult for them to have another major war in the short term, but we cannot let them off easily."

"I told the leader of the Nanman Sect yesterday and asked her to be prepared."

Xu Hengjun and Pang Zongkang looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although the prince said so, they both knew that Ling Nuo, the leader of the Southern Barbarians, was the wife of the Prince of Zhennan.

Because of this relationship, they will be more or less cautious.

Gongye Jiahong saw their expressions and said angrily:

"What are you two looking at? Damn it, I've said that I will make the Nanman Sect lose a lot of skin this time."

"Tell Wang Gongwang later that we need all the precious wood, natural treasures, blood seal secrets, etc."

"This time, our Zhennan Pass was almost destroyed. We must not let these barbarians off easily!"

Only after Marquis Baihua and Marquis Annan bowed in response did Gongye Jiahong's expression look better.

A moment of silence.

"In addition, His Majesty also revealed one thing in the oral instructions that were sent to him."

Gongye Jiahong's face darkened again and he said:

"The fact that the Southern Barbarian Cult was able to collude with the Northern Demon Court this time is because someone in my dynasty was secretly colluding with them!"

"what?"

Xu Hengjun was stunned at first, then he was furious: "Which traitor dares to do such a thing?!"

Pang Zongkang also had an unpleasant expression on his face. He had guessed this before, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty is so sure. Does that mean that the person hiding in the dark is not from the God Worship Sect?"

Gongye Jiahong snorted, "Besides them, there must be another group of people hiding in the dark."

"Anyway, remember to keep this matter secret. Investigate who did this secretly. I will skin them alive!"

At this point, Gongye Jiahong paused and said, "Last night, Shou'er told me that an elder of Wuliang Mountain secretly colluded with the demons a few days ago."

"You can follow this clue and investigate further."

"Wuliang Mountain?"

Pang Zongkang and Xu Hengjun looked at each other and said in confusion: "How could they be involved with demons?"

"If I knew all this, why would I ask you to investigate?"

"..."

Seeing the two men shut up, Gongye Jiahong waved his hands irritably and said, "Go back and finish your current business."

"Remember to invite people to the court tonight, and invite them to a banquet with me. Don't forget to notify Chen Yi and others to be present."

"Yes!"

After the two left, Gongye Shou, who had been hiding behind the screen, came out.

Gongye Jiahong saw him, his expression eased a little and asked, "How is she doing?"

Gongye Shou smiled bitterly and said, "Mother still won't eat or drink. I'm afraid it will take some time."

"I told her a long time ago to be more assertive and not let Tu Lu take too much power, but she insisted on clinging to the teachings of the Nanman Cult."

"Now that's great, out of the 700,000 troops heading north, less than a hundred barbarians survived."

As he spoke, Gongye Jiahong began to laugh.

"It would be good to teach her a lesson, so that she doesn't have to act like the leader of the Southern Barbarians and give me a bad face every day."

"..."

Gongye Shou opened his mouth, but chose to shut up.

In fact, he also had many complaints against his mother about the Nanman Sect's march northwards.

Although he was aware of his mother's barbarian identity, he should not forget that once Zhennan Pass was lost, he and his son would be the first to bear the brunt of the punishment by the emperor.

Even if you don't die, you'll be skinned alive.

Gongye Jiahong was obviously still angry because of this.

"Okay, you don't need to worry about the things in the pass. Go spend more time with Chen Yi and the others."

"I was just planning to go there," Gongye Shou said with a sigh of relief, "Thanks to Chen Yi's rescue this time, I should do my best to be a good host."

Gongye Jiahong hummed and said, "I received news that the emperor intends to grant Chen Yuan a marriage. It will be helpful for your future if you make friends with Chen Yi."

"Granting a marriage?" Gongye Shou was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Doesn't the emperor know the identity of Chen Yuanjue's sword successor?"

As far as he knew, the Juedao lineage had strange personalities and very few descendants. Some of their descendants even killed their wives and children in order to practice Juedao.

Granting Chen Yuan a marriage under such circumstances is tantamount to pushing him into a fire pit.

Who is so unlucky?

"You should know,"

Gongye Jiahong thought for a moment and shook his head, "I can't guess why His Majesty made such an arrangement. It should be to win over others."

In the history of the Wei Dynasty, it was not uncommon for the emperor to use marriage to win over the Marquis of Wu.

Not to mention the ones far away, the one close to us is the former Jingye Hou Zhou Guanwu.

It was a pity that he had a bad fate and died at Beixiong Pass, causing the eldest princess Wei Qinglian, who was engaged to him, to become a widow.

Gongye Shou nodded thoughtfully, then said goodbye and left.

When everything calmed down, Gongye Jiahong rubbed his brows and sighed.

"It's a troubled time. I don't know what the outcome of Old Xie's plan will be..."

……

When Gongye Shou arrived at the general's residence, everyone had already had breakfast and gathered together.

Xie Dongan sat in the corner, playing chess with Jiang Ye.

"Dakong Buddha" Fuchen sat cross-legged not far from them, his eyes slightly closed and muttering to himself.

Wei Nantian listened attentively to the developments outside and said a few words from time to time, all of which were about the casualties in Zhennan Pass, and his tone was full of regret.

Xie Changle sat alone at the dining table, eating and drinking non-stop, like a starving ghost.

Xiao Xuanzhen and Flower Fairy stayed in another compartment, chatting and laughing about some interesting things.

But it was mostly Xiao Xuanzhen who was talking, and the flower fairy only occasionally agreed with a few words.

The past few months of running around, traveling, fighting and growing up have made them a little tired.

Taking advantage of the rare free time, no one wants to practice or study.

But there is one exception.

Gongye Shou looked around and asked in confusion, "Brother Yi is not here?"

Xie Changle said helplessly, "Junior brother said he had some insights and needs to be in seclusion for a few days."

"Retreat?" Gongye Shou was surprised and asked, "The war has just ended, and Brother Yi is working so hard?"

"Who said it wasn't true?" Xie Changle shook his head and sighed, "Even the extremely talented monsters are so hardworking, so where do mediocre people like us stand?"

He wanted to work hard, but his strength was too weak and he couldn't grow in a short period of time.

However, his trip to the Southern Barbarians was not without gain - at least he made it clear that he wanted to practice the way of the sword.

"Yes." Xie Dongan said with a smile: "Chen Yi is so hardworking that I feel pressured."

Jiang Ye looked at him in astonishment: "Ang'er, with your talent, aren't you insulting me by saying this?"

Xie Dongan glanced at him, picked up a black piece and placed it on the chessboard, and said:

"Slay the dragon."

"Lost again..."

"Ang'er, this game doesn't count. You only gave me three pieces..."

Gongye Shou looked at the relaxed atmosphere among the crowd and smiled bitterly to himself.

Compared to them, he, the Prince of Zhennan, was actually full of worries, especially the casualties he had just seen along the way, which inevitably made him feel heavy-hearted.

But after staying for a while, he gave it his all.

I formed a mahjong four-person team with Xu Niannian, Pang Longxiang, and Xie Changle, and started playing cards happily.

Happy times are always short.

Soon, a piece of news came and everyone gathered together again.

"The Tianjiao Ranking has been updated. Come and take a look?"

Wei Nantian had been sensing the movements of the entire Zhennan Pass. After he went out for a while and came back, he had two gold and silver copies of the "Tianjiao List" in his hands.

Xie Changle immediately put down the mahjong game, put away the thick stack of banknotes under the table, and walked over with a smile on his face and said:
"Needless to say, my junior brother must be number one on the Earth Ranking!"

Gongye Shou, Pang Longxiang and Xu Niannian looked at him with bloodshot eyes, but followed him helplessly.

In just half a day, the three of them lost nearly ten thousand yuan in total, which was all won by Xie Changle alone.

Since they didn't cry at this moment, it means that their pockets are full.

"should be."

Wei Nantian nodded, and when he saw everyone coming, he flipped through the Earth Ranking. "Huh? Brother Xie is still number one on the Earth Ranking?"

"I?"

Xie Dongan frowned, looked over, and then opened the golden list of heavenly leaders next to him, but Chen Yi's name was not on it either.

Jiang Ye was surprised and said, "Brother Yi, has he been removed from the Tianjiao List?"

"I'm afraid that's the case," Xie Dong'an pondered, "What Chen Yi did in Nanman was too shocking, and he really shouldn't be on the Tianjiao List again."

Of course he knew that this was just an external factor, and the real reason was probably the bet.

One thing is clear - even if Chen Yi does not participate in the Wei Dynasty event, or the Tianyuan Continent selection, he will still be one of the candidates in the bet.

Xie Dongan was certain that the ancestors who were on the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain could not be so blind as to ignore Chen Yi.

"Well, the biggest expectation is gone."

Jiang Ye muttered, "I still want to see Brother Yi'er's cultivation and technical level."

Xie Dongan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that in the next ten years, his true strength will not be revealed."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding, and then turned their attention back to the "Tianjiao List".

"Xie Dong'an, a native of Kyoto Prefecture, grandson of Left Prime Minister Xie Jing."

"Master Luo An, the fifth master of the Kyoto Academy, has reached the middle stage of the Divine Wandering Realm..."

"Second on the Earth Ranking, Wei Nantian, a relative of the royal family..."

"Third on the Earth Ranking, Lin Xueru, from Kyoto Prefecture, a descendant of the ancient Tiangang of the Taixu Taoist sect, practicing the Eight Methods of Taixu..."

"Wait," Xiao Xuanzhen said in surprise, "Are you sure it's my Junior Sister Lin?"

Wei Nantian handed her the silver book and said, "It's written on it that you are indeed a disciple of Taixu Peak."

After Xiao Xuanzhen took it, he and the Flower Fairy looked at the contents on the third page side by side.

"Lin Xueru, your cultivation is at the middle stage of the third level Tianhe realm, and you have mastered all eight Taixu techniques, and you have even mastered the Duize technique to the Tongming realm?!"

Xiao Xuanzhen looked suddenly enlightened.

She had just broken through to the fourth level of spiritual realm with the help of the Dragon Transformation Pool in the secret realm of the East Emperor Palace, but she still had three of the Eight Methods of Taixu to practice to perfection.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xueru, who had been staying in Taixu Taoist Sect, had surpassed her in cultivation and skills.

"Junior Sister Xueru's talent is really..."

The flower fairy nodded and sighed in her heart.

Her talent is outstanding, but far inferior to Lin Xueru, and only slightly better than Xiao Xuanzhen.

However, this was also because she spent most of her time practicing the Dao of Alchemy, and had limited time to cultivate her skills and techniques.

"Lin Xueru, I remember she is the daughter of Duke Xing?" Wei Nantian looked at Xie Dongan and others and asked.

"That's right," Gongye Shou nodded and said, "When Brother Yi was favored by the emperor, the two of them even got engaged."

"Duke Xing, Lin Hansong," Jiang Ye said with a sigh, "He is a favorite of the emperor."

"Oh?" Wei Nantian asked, "Does the emperor think highly of him?"

"Yes, now Lin Hansong is not only a duke, but also in charge of the financial power of the court."

At this point, Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother An, if the Lin and Chen families were to marry, would it have any impact on the court?"

Xie Dongan glanced at him, and glanced at Xiao Xuanzhen, Hua Xianzi and others from the corner of his eyes, and shook his head:

"Let's continue to check the "Tianjiao List" to see if there are any newcomers."

When everyone's attention returned to the "Tianjiao List", Xie Dong'an looked a little sad.

He knew very well that judging from the strength Chen Yi had shown so far, he would definitely be the second Zhou Guanwu.

Whether it was their sect origin, marriage, power, or talent, they were all extremely similar.

The only difference is that Chen Yi’s strength now has already exceeded imagination.

Xie Dongan even suspected that his swordsmanship had broken through to the realm of supernatural powers.

Of course, he was just suspicious.

After all, even the great demon kings before were unsure of Chen Yi's level of swordsmanship.

"If he really is in the realm of supernatural powers...the ministers in the court would better keep their tails between their legs!"

A sword cultivator in the realm of supernatural powers who is not bound by the "Bridge of Heaven and Earth" will kill any god that stands in his way!
……

Three days have passed in a row.

The news that Zhennan Pass was attacked by the southern barbarians had already spread to the seventeen prefectures of the Wei Dynasty.

The details were also exaggerated by the storyteller.

In particular, the story of "Little Sword Immortal" Chen Yi stepping on the White Tiger God and killing 700,000 barbarians and demons with one sword was divided into five chapters and thirteen episodes, which really made the storytellers a lot of money.

"Enlightenment in Dragon Heart Lake", "Demon Slaying in Secret Realm", "Ascending to the Dragon Pool", etc.

Even his deeds of "killing the tiger demon Futu, one of the thirty-six generals of the Demon Court" after he left the secret realm were also spread one by one.

Chen Yi, who was already famous in the Tianyuan Continent, became even more eye-catching.

Not only were all the sects and holy places in the Wei Dynasty paying attention to him, but the name of "Little Sword Immortal" was also circulating in the surrounding areas such as the Ten Thousand Mountains Demon Court, the Southern Barbarians, the Buddhist Kingdom, and even in the Dongzhou Islands.

At the same time, the fact that Chen Yi's name was no longer on the "Tianjiao List" also caused a lot of speculation.

Some say that Chen Yi is so powerful that even the compilers of the "Tianjiao List" have to conceal some of his strength to prevent his true strength from being leaked.

It is said that Chen Yi obtained a treasure in the secret realm of the East Emperor Palace, which obscured the observation of the secrets.

Some even said that he had killed too many demons and barbarians, and thus was punished by heaven...

Chen Yi, who never left the house, naturally had no idea about these things. He was only focused on improving his strength.

Even when Liu Gao and others came to Zhennan Pass with the imperial edict from Emperor Wei to reward him, he refused to come out to see them.

It's just a useless title of Earl of Yingwu and a fief of a thousand households, it's of no use at all.

Instead of going out to greet Eunuch Liu and others, he would rather stay in the side room and dive with the "Xunwangling".

Strange to say.

Ever since he joined "Xunwangtian", except for the girl named Qingfeng who appeared at the beginning, few people sent him messages at other times.

Three days, only three messages.

Qing Feng: [There are still two days left, everyone please get ready, I will start building the altar for the ritual.]
[read.]
[Brother, what are you reading?]
Then there was no news at all, which really surprised Chen Yi, the screen peeper.

It turns out that Zhao Tianhe had not exaggerated before, and the number of people in their "Xunwangtian" was indeed small.

"I thought I could learn some secrets from Zhao Tianhe and the others, but I didn't expect it to be so deserted."

Chen Yi thought about the Dharma Assembly that would take place two days later, and decided to act accordingly. It would be best if he could understand the identities of everyone in "Xunwangtian".

Especially the half-demon Xiaolan who appeared earlier.

At that time, he would also need to confirm whether the other party was really as harmless as Zhao Tianhe said.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi opened the light curtain and took a look.

【Name: Chen Yi】

【Age: 46】

[Cultivation: Third-grade Tianhe Realm (upper level)]

[Talent: Late bloomer - the older the bone age, the faster the cultivation speed. ]

[Nine Turns Mysterious Gang Jue: Grandmaster - Based on the sword intention, with the blessing of the Azure Dragon and White Tiger divine will, the Grandmaster's method is completed with the intention of the four symbols. ]

[Kendo: Divine Power - White Tiger, Divine Lord Gong Zheng, proves the Dao through killing! ]

【Counterattack Points: 0/100】

[Your cultivation can be upgraded to the lower stage of the second-grade divine realm. (To be claimed)]

[Your cultivation can be upgraded to the middle stage of the second-grade divine realm. (To be claimed)]

"Forty-six..."

Before he knew it, Chen Yi had already turned seventeen.

If we were not in the barbarian land of the south, this should be the winter season with snowflakes falling.

Thinking back on it, this year has passed very quickly, and my cultivation and techniques have improved by leaps and bounds.

After watching for a while, Chen Yi closed the light curtain, stood up and went to the courtyard to look at the stars in the night sky.

The "seclusion" during these two days did not mean he was hiding from people. His cultivation had indeed improved.

Even though he only advanced from the lower stage of Tianhe Realm to the upper stage of Tianhe Realm, the improvement of his silver-white sword intent almost doubled.

The Tianhe Realm is different from the others. Every time he advances to a higher level, he can draw on the power of heaven and earth to accelerate the growth of his cultivation.

After being promoted to the upper level, he was able to gather the power of heaven and earth within a radius of 20,000 miles to enhance his murderous sword intent.

That's right!

As long as Chen Yi is willing, he can now sense everything 20,000 miles away!
If Taixu Dao Sect wasn't too far away from Zhennan Pass, he could even sit here and send a message to the little girl.

"The sword energy that can span 20,000 miles is pretty good."

Chen Yi looked up at the night sky, and his sword intent spread out. With Zhennan Pass as the center, the area within 20,000 miles from east to west, north to south, was all within his perception.

And the farther the distance, the less he can "see" or "hear".

The clearest thing is everything within 5,000 miles, and then it will weaken a little every 1,000 miles.

Even those sects and families that were protected by formations could not detect anything.

After just a moment, Chen Yi narrowed the range of his sword intent and let out a long breath with a strange look in his eyes.

"This hour is indeed the time to sow seeds..."

However, in addition to the people from various prefectures within the pass, he also discovered the whereabouts of Chen Yuan and Wei Jinyu in the dense forest not far from Zhennan Pass.

Chen Yi noticed the coffin on the boss's shoulders and couldn't help but sigh.

He had previously deceived the boss by saying that there might be a way to resurrect Ling Yinrong at the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, and it seemed that the boss believed it.

If in the future...

"Well, that's a possibility."

Chen Yi suddenly thought of the "Taizhou Mountain" which was somewhat different from the rumors and the numerous world regions.

Perhaps there really is a magical secret method to "resurrect the dead and the living."

Think for a moment.

Chen Yi took out the "Xunwang Order" and deliberately imitated the tone of a Confucian disciple and asked:

[Do you know, seniors, whether there is a secret magical power of "resurrection from the dead" in this world?]
Soon, he saw a little man named Qingfeng jumping out of the dark blue water mirror.

[Chen Er, you asked the right person this question!]
[This girl is known as 'Xun Wangtian', who knows everything, so of course I know the answer to this question. But...]
Seeing her eyes rolling around, Chen Yi secretly rolled his eyes and bowed:

[How about a blood core of the fourth level spiritual realm?]
[What? ]
A trace of shame and anger appeared on Qingfeng's face.

[You are so treacherous. You only give me a Spiritual Acupoint Blood Core when it comes to the secret of 'Resurrection'? ?]
[Blood cores below the Tianhe realm - no deal!]
[make a deal!]
Chen Yi doesn't mind this. At worst, he can go deeper into the dense forest and kill more monsters.

After all, something as horrifying as "resurrection from the dead" is indeed not something that ordinary people can know.

[That's more like it. Remember, you already owe me two blood cores. You are not allowed to default on your debt.]
[Don't worry, Sister Qingfeng.]
Just when Chen Yi thought she would tell the story directly like last time, she turned her eyes and said:

[It’s been so long, I’ve forgotten a little bit. I’ll give it to you at the Dharma Assembly.]
"..."

Although Chen Yi was disappointed, he still replied with a "good" and put away the "Xunwang Order".

"If there really is a way to 'resurrect the dead', then I will be completely relieved."

At least the boss has an expectation, so he is not lying, right?

What he didn't know was that after he left, Qingfeng who was in "Xunwangtian" was shouting and running straight towards the mouth of a hurricane.

"Big Brother, here comes a big deal! Where is the record of 'Reincarnation Heaven' that you mentioned last time?"

PS: BLG will play tonight, which will affect my writing… Let August be lazy for another day. BLG will win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PPS: Starting tomorrow, there will be a burst of updates! Trust me!
