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

Chapter 176: Gambling Injury (Subscription Request)

After Ning Xue left, Jianfeng Mountain was not deserted at all, but became a bit more lively.

Hua Youxiang and Li Mingyue were like wild horses that had broken free from their reins, running around the mountain happily, almost making Xie Changle, the "parent", break his legs from exhaustion.

"Two junior sisters, let's make a deal. Can we shorten our outing time and spend more time practicing swordsmanship?"

The Flower Fairy grinned and said playfully, "Brother Changle, we are just practicing."

Li Mingyue agreed solemnly, "That's right, don't you realize that your body movements are much faster than before?"

"Hurry up?" Xie Changle looked at them breathlessly and shouted, "So you two are urging me to practice, right?"

"Yes, Senior Sister Ning told us to supervise your sword practice before she left."

"Hehe... Senior Brother Changle, you stole the show during your trip down the mountain this time."

Hua Youxiang and Li Mingyue walked through the mountains and forests, turning back and making faces at Xie Changle.

"..."

Xie Changle wanted to cry but had no tears.

Speaking of this, it's all Xiao Xuanzhen's fault - how could her mouth be so big? !
Not long after he returned to the sect, news of him visiting a brothel in Wangchuan County spread.

Despite his numerous excuses, he even dragged Chen Yi along, claiming that he was going to the brothel with him to rescue Prince Gongye Shou of Zhennan.

But... no one believed him! !
The senior and junior sisters on Danfeng Mountain wrote to him specially for this purpose.

Don't get me wrong, the content of the letter is not a love letter or a love poem, but a letter specifically written to scold him.

They said that not only did he want to go to the brothel, but he also wanted to lead Chen Yi astray. This was not the role model that a senior brother should set.

Although this is true, Xie Changle just made a mistake that all men would make.

What crime has he committed?!
The most outrageous one is the rugged peak.

Those warriors whose brains are all about muscles actually came to Jianfeng Mountain to find him.

Of course, they didn't come to scold him, but to blame him for not thinking about his fellow disciples when he went out to have fun.

There are also questions about his feelings...

In short, Xie Changle hasn't left Jianfeng Mountain for a long time.

"Don't run, you two—"

"Senior Brother Changle, your speed is so slow." Hua Youxiang shouted excitedly.

Li Mingyue went even further, deliberately slowing down her movements and always keeping a distance from Xie Changle.

"My two junior sisters, please go back to the martial arts arena..."

Xie Changle gritted his teeth as he begged for mercy, and he became more determined to improve his cultivation.

If it weren't for the memories of his past life, which made him not want to become the kind of demon from the God Worshipping Sect dominated by killing, with his talent in swordsmanship in this life, he should have made the same progress as Ning Xue.

Although it is a little late now, there is still a chance!

Listening to the noisy sounds on the mountain, Chen Yi reluctantly restrained his sword perception.

Half a month has passed since Ning Xue went to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, and he has also had a full half a month of leisure.

It’s not quite accurate to say that he was resting, but compared to the killing in the southern barbarian land, he did have plenty of time.

In addition to teaching his fellow disciples and sisters kendo as usual every day, he would also make small wooden swords with sword spirit in case of emergency.

Almost everyone who was familiar with him got one, especially his fellow disciples from Jianfeng Mountain.

He didn't want his fellow disciples to die because Li Qingzhou, Zhan Hongxiu and others were not on the mountain.

Each of the small wooden swords contains his three sword intents. As long as he doesn't encounter a big demon king like Lu Chen, he should be able to kill him.

Even if he was only seriously injured, it would buy them time to escape.

However, Chen Yi spent most of his time accompanying the little girls.

As if to make up for the regret of not going to Nanman together, Lin Xueru came to Jianfeng Mountain after finishing her training at Taixu Peak.

Even if the two of them just sat quietly on the top of the mountain watching the sunrise and sunset, there would be a smile on her face.

Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi rarely appeared. Chen Yi had not seen them since the funeral of Pang Kuan.

I heard from the little girl that Xiao Xuan is truly accepting Xiao Huang's instruction, hoping to improve his cultivation and skills before the event.

Chen Yi was not too surprised about this.

After all, Xiao Huang is the leader of Taixu Taoist Sect and a frequent visitor to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield. It is normal for him to have some special methods and magical instruments.

On the flower fairy's side, Chen Yi also heard what Erhua said.

Like Xiao Xuanzhen, Sun Daofu was also teaching her new techniques and recipes.

There is also Wang Yongnian.

Because of the death of the physical training master Pang Kuan, he practiced harder than ever before. Both his physical body and forging skills improved rapidly.

However, in this case, the only people coming to Jianfeng Mountain were Du Yanqing and his sister Du Yan.

They still quarrel like they did when they were kids.

However, both Chen Yi and Lin Xueru could see that their relationship as siblings was actually better.

Especially after Du Yanqing stopped paying attention to Wei Letian and Wei Xiaoyun, Du Yan's attitude towards him became much friendlier.

The words of "praise" for him also changed from "not learning and making progress" to "not working hard enough".

Thinking of this, Chen Yi's mouth corners slightly curled up.

He looked at the mountains outside the window and felt pretty good.

"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, medicine, medicine..."

The little green dragon transformed as usual, its tiny claws pulling at the Sumeru bag on his waist, and its big watery eyes looked at him.

Chen Yi gave it a slap on the head in annoyance and said, "The remaining pills are still useful, so I can't give them to you for the time being."

"Ugh...Wow!"

Two big tears dripped from the corners of the little green dragon's eyes, "Brother Yi, the dragon's body doesn't grow anymore."

This is true.

Since returning to Jianfeng Mountain, Chen Yi's daily practice progress has slowed down a lot.

Compared with the previous killing transformation in the southern barbarian land, the gap is extremely large. No wonder Xiao Qinglong feels uncomfortable.

Seeing that it was about to cry, Chen Yi could only comfort it: "The elixir will be available in a few days, just wait a little longer."

Now there are only a few fairy peach and lotus seeds left in his Sumeru bag, and the rest have been distributed to Lin Xueru and the others.

The fairy peaches were left for his parents, and the lotus seeds were needed by Chen Yi to strengthen his soul. It would be a waste to use them on the little green dragon.

Fortunately, when he met the Flower Fairy that time, he asked her to refine more pills for raising the little green dragon.

"You're right. You can't lie to dragons." Little Qinglong burst into laughter.

"Who did you learn this from?" Chen Yi glared at it.

"The flowers have fragrance." Xiao Qinglong lowered his head guiltily: "I heard her say a few days ago that crying children get milk."

"..."

Chen Yi held his forehead with his hand, he knew it was like this.

Apart from Xie Changle, Erhua and Li Mingyue are the only two people who are out of tune in the entire Jianfeng Mountain.

The other junior brothers and sisters would not say these things, and most of their minds were focused on practicing kendo.

Fortunately, he was afraid of trouble and did not expose the existence of the little green dragon, otherwise it would be hard to tell how this young dragon would be taught.

Compared to it, the little white tiger is much less troublesome.

After being promoted to the Divine Wandering Realm, the little white tiger moved from the altar into the golden palace between his eyebrows, constantly absorbing the sword intent of the stars to strengthen Chen Yi's soul.

If it hadn't whimpered occasionally, Chen Yi would have thought it was a tireless, perpetual-motion ox or horse, a peerless model worker.

Tease for a moment.

Chen Yi took out the "Xunwang Order" and probed his mind into it.

He was quite surprised when he saw a few small figures.

so many people?

Is today a special day?
Since the last Xunwangtian Dharma Assembly, almost no one has appeared in the water mirror during this period of time.

I heard from Miss Qingfeng that the Eighth Prince has found some people to join forces and has set out to the depths of the Netherworld River.

Ah Lang also entered that hot secret realm, intending to hone his body there in order to enhance his magical powers.

Zhao Tianhe has returned to Taizhou Mountain and is climbing along the peak.

Only she and Senior Brother Zhao Muzi stayed in Xunwangtian, and from time to time they had to go deep into the hurricane to practice.

But in the dark blue water mirror at this moment, including Chen Yi, there are a total of five figures, which can be said to occupy half of Xunwangtian.

In addition to Miss Qingfeng and the half-demon Xiaolan, the other two figures were a man and a woman.

Sword fanatic, Xiao Liu'er?

Chen Yi took a few looks and confirmed that they were the two people who had not attended the Dharma Assembly before.

"So, you lost the fight directly this time?" Miss Qingfeng laughed.

"Sword maniac, I didn't expect that you would have this day. You ran over excitedly to challenge, but couldn't even last three moves." Xiao Liu'er agreed with a smile covering her mouth.

The half-demon Xiaolan was about to speak, but she noticed Chen Yi appearing in the water mirror and closed her mouth.

She knew clearly that Li Qingzhou, whom Sword Maniac was challenging, was Chen Yi's master. If she said something unpleasant, it would inevitably cause misunderstanding.

The little man holding the long sword curled his lips and said, "If it were you, you would also be defeated easily."

"Tell me, what's so great about him? I can teach you how to defeat him."

"Him," the sword maniac sighed and said, "his demon-slaying sword intent is too strong. I can feel that he has a strong desire to kill demons."

Xiao Liu'er sat cross-legged on one side and asked suspiciously, "You are not a demon, so he can't control you, right?"

The sword maniac spread his hands and said, "In addition to his sword, his sword skills are also extraordinary. With just one sword, he cut me several miles away..."

"Then you are really embarrassed this time?" Miss Qingfeng raised her eyebrows and said, "With your temper, don't you want to challenge again?"

The sword maniac shook his head and said, "I won't challenge them for now. When I was returning last night, I saw the demon kings of Black Wind Mountain on the way."

"Those demons want to ambush them again?" Xiao Liu'er frowned and asked, "Have you informed Tianque City?"

"I've already notified them," Sword Maniac nodded, "But judging from the looks of those demon kings, the war won't end in a short time."

Chen Yi frowned secretly, and after thinking for a moment, he also asked: "How strong is the demon king on Mount Taizhou?"

The sword fanatic was stunned and looked at him sideways. There was a faint sword aura emanating from his body.

"Is this Brother Chen Er? I am a sword fanatic."

Without waiting for Chen Yi to respond, Miss Qingfeng nodded: "Chen Er and Xiaolan were both just invited by Senior Brother Tianhe to join."

"You and Xiao Liu'er were not here last time, but you missed the 'amazing' scene!"

Xiao Liu'er looked at Chen Yi's figure and blinked her bright big eyes.

"Since Sister Qingfeng said this, their family background must be very rich, right?"

"It's more than rich, it's like a treasure trove. I..." Miss Qingfeng coughed and said, "Let's talk about the Demon King."

Xiao Liuer said with a smile: "Sister Qingfeng, are you worried that we are eyeing your treasure house?"

"you dare?!"

"Ha ha……"

After laughing, Jianchi replied, "The demon kings in Black Wind Mountain are not very strong, most of them are only at the Heavenly Man Realm."

"But their leader is extremely powerful. He was already a great demon king in the realm of magical powers a long time ago. His cultivation is truly astonishing."

Chen Yi: "What is the realm of heaven and man?"

He knew that Li Qingzhou's cultivation was at the Heavenly Man Realm, but he didn't know how it compared to the Grandmaster Realm. "I almost forgot that you and Xiaolan are still on the Tianyuan Continent," Qingfeng explained.

"The Heavenly Man Realm is the realm above the Void Realm. The Grandmaster usually mentioned is not the realm of cultivation."

Above the Void Realm...

Chen Yi nodded.

In this way, his master's cultivation progress in Taizhou Mountain was not very great, and could not be compared with his progress in swordsmanship.

"Don't worry, those great demon kings have been coveting the three strong cities of the Tianyuan Continent for a long time. It won't be easy to capture them."

Miss Qingfeng waved her hand and said, "Chen Er, you should be heading to Taizhou Mountain soon, right?"

Chen Yi nodded: "I guess so."

As he spoke, his heart moved, he glanced at the half-demon, and continued to ask: "I heard a few days ago that we will be fighting with demons in a few years. Do you know the reason?"

"Bet fight?" Sword Maniac looked at him suspiciously: "I haven't heard of it."

Xiao Liu'er also shook her head: "Me neither."

Miss Qingfeng said thoughtfully, "You have had several gambling fights with the demon court, and both sides have won and lost."

"Based on the previous few times, it was either a short ceasefire period or a fight for secret realms, treasures, etc."

The half-demon Xiaolan glanced at him but didn't say anything, only her pure white tail subconsciously swung a few times.

"Chen Er, do you want to join that gambling fight?" Xiao Liu'er asked suddenly.

Miss Qingfeng also reacted: "You asked this, weren't you chosen to fight with the demon?"

The sword maniac widened his eyes: "Could it be that your cultivation has also reached the realm of magical power!?"

and also?
Chen Yiduo glanced at him and thought, "The gambling fight is scheduled to be attended by the younger generation. Maybe I have a chance to be selected."

"No!" Qing Feng immediately advised: "I advise you not to get involved."

"Why is this?" Chen Yi was stunned.

"Sister Qingfeng is right," Xiao Liuer said with a serious look on her face.
"Looking back at the gambling fights, even if the human race won, few of them ended up well."

The sword maniac nodded and said, "If I remember correctly, the last time we had a fight, the human race won."

"Ten wins, five losses, four losses, and one draw. Guess the casualties?"

Chen Yi shook his head. How could he guess?

"A total of seven people died, two were seriously injured, and one was disabled." Qingfeng took over the conversation.

Chen Yi couldn't help but ask, "What about the demons?"

"It's a little better. Two big demon kings survived."

"..."

Chen Yi frowned secretly and glanced at the half-demon out of the corner of his eye.

No wonder Li Qingzhou said earlier that only more than 10,000 people went there from Tianyuan Continent.

With such a death, it is rare that so many people are still alive.

Xiaolan bit her lip, with a look of inexplicable grievance on her face, but she still didn't say anything.

A moment of silence.

Chen Yi laughed, "If that's the case, then I must get involved."

"Forehead."

Qingfeng and the other two looked at each other with strange looks in their eyes.

Even the sword fanatic who had always been obsessed with swordsmanship shook his head and said with admiration: "Brother Chen, you are really brave."

Xiao Liuer agreed, "Indeed. Even I hesitated when I heard about the gambling fight."

Qingfeng waved his hand, signaling the two to talk less.

"Chen Er, I will investigate the content of the gambling fight during this period of time. I hope it will be helpful to you."

"Thank you, Sister Qingfeng."

"Don't thank me yet, it's not free."

Chen Yi: “…”

He knew it was so.

But because of Qingfeng's behavior, everyone started laughing and the atmosphere wasn't so heavy.

Then they chatted briefly.

After Qingfeng, Jianchi and Xiaoliu'er left, Xiaolan asked:
"Have you read the letter?"

"Ah."

Chen Yi glanced at her, and a few lines of ancient seal characters appeared in the water mirror.

"Then are you willing to help me escape from the demon court?" Xiaolan's tail wagged more rapidly.

Chen Yi thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know you well enough."

In addition, the conditions are not sufficient.

The fact that the Demon Court was heading south to attack Beixiong Pass was not enough for him to take action to rescue the half-demon.

Xiaolan also guessed his thoughts, "What do you want to know?"

"everything!"

Chen Yi said with a serious expression: "As the princess of the Demon Court, I don't think you will betray me just because you marry Emperor Tiger."

Xiaolan stared at him blankly for a long time before she lowered her head and said, "I promise you."

Chen Yi secretly raised his eyebrows. What he said was almost equivalent to a rejection. He didn't expect that the half-demon would agree.

"In that case, let's talk about it after the next Dharma Assembly."

Before that, Chen Yi would remind Chen Taiping and others to pay attention to the movements of the Demon Court.

If necessary, he would go to Beixiongguan in person...

……

As the grand event approached, the seventeen prefectures of the Wei Dynasty became bustling with activity.

The sects, schools, noble families and a large number of martial artists that were farther away from Kyoto Prefecture had already set out for Kyoto Prefecture.

In provincial capitals such as Sichuan Prefecture, Hexi Prefecture, Jiangnan Prefecture, and Northern Zhili, their figures could be seen everywhere on the official roads along the way.

Most of the disciples of sects and schools ride on horses, but there are also monks and Taoists who travel on foot.

And those noble families drove their wildebeest chariots and sped along the official roads.

A group of wanderers were traveling in groups of three or five, but they were not in a hurry. Many of them stayed in the post stations along the way.

As they chatted and laughed, the topic naturally turned to this grand event.

"The carriage that just passed by was from the Wu family of Northern Zhili. I heard that the fourth young master Wu learned from the Yuhua Immortal Sect and has now reached the fourth level of spiritual enlightenment."

"Only the fourth rank? He can't even make it to the Earth Ranking. How can he be called a genius?"

"Brother, I'm afraid you haven't read the latest issue of the "Heavenly Pride List", right? The current number one on the Earthly List is Xie Dong'an, the grandson of the Left Prime Minister, a peerless demon whose cultivation is close to the Void Realm!"

"The second-ranked fifteenth prince Wei Nantian's cultivation is also not bad, and his spear skills have reached the peak of perfection."

"And Miss Lin Xueru, who is ranked third, is not only extremely talented, but is also ranked third in the Top Ten Taoist Fairies. She is in the top three on both lists."

"The 'Little Sword Immortal' Chen Yi, who was originally more famous, is not on the 'Golden Prodigy List' now?"

"I heard that because his strength was too strong, the Southern Prince became jealous and hated him, so he was removed from the list."

"What? This is outrageous! How can the ministers in the court allow such a genius to be bullied like this?"

"The whole world belongs to the king. Who told me to have the last name Wei?"

Apart from discussions, the martial artists naturally couldn't resist the urge to fight, and private duels often took place.

Some want to become famous by challenging geniuses, some do it because of personal vengeance, and more are evil demons who take the opportunity to attack and kill geniuses from all over the place.

But what surprised everyone was that the evil people from the God Worshipping Sect, who used to rush to the front, rarely came out this time.

Instead, some evil demons who practiced magic surrounded and killed the talented disciples of local sects and families one by one.

"No. 13 on the Earth Ranking - Yushan Sect's 'Red Bride' Fang Li has been surrounded and killed by evil demons outside of Nanhu Mansion!!"

When this news reached the holy places of various sects, it inevitably made people nervous.

Soon, the day came when the geniuses of Taixu Dao Sect set out for Kyoto Prefecture.

Early in the morning.

Disciples from various peaks spontaneously gathered on Taixu Peak, all wanting to take a look at the geniuses from their fellow sect.

"There are two senior sisters Xiao Xuanzhen and Lin Xueru in Taixu Peak, as well as the prince of Zhenbei, Du Yanqing."

"There are 'Little Sword Immortal' Brother Chen Yi and Sister Hua Youxiang in Jianfeng Mountain."

"There is also the Flower Fairy from the Dan Xiu lineage and Senior Sister Du Yan from Qimen Peak. The only one missing is our Linxun Peak."

"God damn Ah Man, how hateful!"

Because of Ah Man's betrayal, none of the geniuses from Taixu Dao Sect who attended the event were descendants of physical cultivators, which made many disciples of Linxun Peak feel ashamed.

In addition, the previous headmaster died and the new headmaster has not yet arrived, so there are only a few disciples of the physical cultivation lineage on Taixu Peak at this moment.

Only Wang Yongnian, who was familiar with Chen Yi and others, stood alone in the corner with a bag on his back.

Although he was not qualified to attend the event, after being persuaded by Chen Yi and others, he went down the mountain to Kyoto Prefecture.

After all, he has been away from Kyoto Prefecture for more than ten years, so it is time for him, the legitimate son of Marquis Taishan, to go back and visit.

"Brother Changle, I'll leave the mountain to you."

Chen Yi smiled and gave him a few instructions, then sent a voice message to remind him to improve his cultivation and teach his fellow brothers and sisters well.

Xie Changle patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."

When he saw Hua Youxiang standing with Chen Yi, he was almost moved to tears.

Not easy.

Without this naughty guy on Jianfeng Mountain, the other junior brothers and sisters instantly became well-behaved and cute.

Li Mingyue reluctantly held onto Hua Youxiang and said, "Senior sister, you must come back after the event."

"Don't worry," Hua Youxiang said with a smile, "We are the two evil spirits of Jianfeng Mountain. After the event is over, I will take you to travel the world."

Chen Yi smiled and waved, "Let's go to Taixu Peak first."

As they arrived at Taixu Peak, the geniuses from other peaks had also arrived.

This time, Gu Tiangang was still the leader of the team heading to Kyoto Prefecture, but he was accompanied by Cao Abao, the elder of the Monster Catching Hall.

"set off!"

No one intended to exchange pleasantries.

Following Xiao Huang's order, Chen Yi and others arrived at the foot of Wangdu Peak and took a carriage to Kyoto Prefecture.

Hua Youxiang looked out the window and asked, "Master Gu, why don't you just fly over there with us?"

The Flower Fairy pulled her and looked at Gu Tiangang apologetically and said, "Uncle Gu, please don't be offended."

Gu Laodao waved his hand and said, "There is still a long time before the grand event begins, so there is no need to be so anxious."

But when he spoke, he transmitted his voice to Chen Yi:

"My nephew, I'm relying on you for this journey."

"Uncle Master, rest assured. Since I proposed it, I will naturally protect them."
