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

Chapter 178 Li Dai Tao Jiang (Subscription Request)

Sun Zhengqiu had no say on whether the Grandmaster level was an ant or not.

He only knew that he was definitely an ant now, and the kind of ant that was not even strong.

The only thing that makes him better than ordinary ants is that he ate a fairy peach, which increased his lifespan by 100 years, so he can live a long time in this life.

In fact, the life expectancy of ordinary people in Tianyuan Continent is no more than sixty years, while the life expectancy of cultivators is longer.

The life span of a cultivator in the ninth level of the mortal realm is over eighty years old, unless he is an evil demon who has exhausted his potential.

An eighth-grade Na Yuan realm cultivator can live to be one hundred years old, and with the tempering of true essence, his physical activity far exceeds that of ordinary people of the same age.

The seventh rank is not much different from the sixth rank, around 120 years old.

Starting from the fifth level of Baodan realm, the lifespan will increase significantly, almost reaching over 150 years old.

The lifespan of a fourth-grade Lingqiao realm member is 200 years, the lifespan of a third-grade Tianhe realm member is 300 years, and the lifespan of a second-grade Shenyou realm member is 400 years.

When one reaches the Void Realm, living to be five hundred years old or even older is no problem.

But this lifespan is still not comparable to those of the great demons in the Demon Court, who are often thousands of years old.

This is also the reason why the Wei Dynasty, a thousand years after its establishment, still did not dare to step out of Beixiong Pass.

God knows how many thousand-year-old monsters there are in the Ten Thousand Mountains?
At the same time, the life expectancy of the barbarians is generally higher than that of the Wei people.

However, due to their bloodline inheritance and the environment they live in, their numbers are far less than those of the Wei people, not to mention the billions of demons.

It is not difficult to understand Sun Zhengqiu’s excitement after obtaining the fairy peach.

With his current cultivation level at the beginning of the Lingqiao realm, a fairy peach allowed him to increase his lifespan by 50%.

Even if his talent is worse in the future, he can still be promoted to the Tianhe realm, or even the second-grade Shenyou realm.

"Sir, is there anything else you need me to do?"

"You don't have to do anything. Just find a safe place and watch this drama quietly."

Chen Yi sat cross-legged in the corner of the carriage with the Spring Rain Sword on his knees, but his expression was extremely relaxed, with no sense of urgency at all as the battle was approaching.

Just like he said before, the higher the martial arts level is, the greater the gap between people of the same level will be.

Just like he and Xie Dongan are both in the Divine Wandering Realm, but his physical body, true essence and technical level are far beyond Xie Dongan.

The Grandmaster realm is nothing more than one whose true essence is more powerful, whose soul has a stronger connection with the power of heaven and earth, and whose technical skills are at a higher level.

This is what Chen Yi thought privately. If other people knew his thoughts, they would be so shocked that they would not know what to say.

"Yes!"

After Sun Zhengqiu fell silent, Chen Yi's sword intent still surrounded the house in Jeju City.

He and Wenren Ying had the same focus - on the old man in black robe.

For some reason, after his sword intent penetrated deep into the house, it could only circle around the courtyard.

Invisibly, there seemed to be a feeling that if I took one more step, the old man would notice it.

Daomen?

Chen Yi "looked" at him thoughtfully, and could vaguely see the majestic aura lingering around him.

"I think I've seen it somewhere before?"

"Taoism? Yuhua Xianmen, Wuliangshan, Yushan Sect..."

Chen Yi has encountered only a few Taoist sects, so many that they can be counted on one hand.

"Wuliang Mountain!"

After careful identification, Chen Yi's heart moved.

He finally determined the origin of the aura of the old man in black robe.

It was surprisingly similar to the Elder Louya of Wuliang Mountain whom he had seen in the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm before - it was the aura of the Fantian Dao, one of the core inheritances of Wuliang Mountain!

"The Xu Feiyan before was also from Wuliang Mountain, but she is an elder of Fuhai Dao."

Chen Yi frowned slightly. Could it be that the old man was also colluding with the demon like Xu Feiyan?
But Xu Feiyan betrayed the Wei Dynasty because of the former Jingye Marquis Zhou Guanwu, so why was this old man there?

At the same time, Chen Yi remembered something.

More than ten years ago, when Sun Zhengqiu had just decided to follow him, he once said that there was a Taoist priest in "Qianlong" who used the art of looking at qi to observe their talents.

Could it be that the old man in the house and the Taoist priest “Qianlong” are the same person, or are they both from Wuliang Mountain?
If so, then everything fits together!

Compared with the old man in black robe, the other tall and strong physical cultivator did not pose much threat.

A physical cultivator of the same level is equivalent to a living target in front of a sword cultivator!
Unless his skills are at a very high level and he has supernatural powers in boxing, it would be no more difficult for Chen Yi to kill him than to kill a big demon.

At this time, Lin Xueru sent him a voice message and asked, "Brother Yi, are you worried about something?"

"No," Chen Yi smiled and sent a message back, "I just found a few small bugs."

"What little bugs?" Lin Xueru was stunned for a moment, and looked at him suspiciously: "Are you talking about those bandits?"

"That's it."

Chen Yi didn't explain much and immediately changed the subject, which made everyone laugh and the atmosphere instantly became much more cheerful.

Although they were heading to Kyoto Prefecture to attend the Wei Dynasty event, they could also see some beautiful scenery along the way.

However, the official road is not all smooth sailing.

Especially in the border area between two states, there would be bandits robbing from time to time.

Especially in recent times, not only the children of sects and aristocratic families have been coming and going frequently.

Some wanderers and merchant caravans also kept rushing to Kyoto Prefecture, not wanting to miss this grand event.

But this also gave the bandits and evil spirits hiding in the mountains an opportunity to take advantage.

Even Chen Yi and others, whose carriages were hung with the flag of Taixu Taoist Sect, were dared to be intercepted by some bandits.

"Robbery! Robbery..."

But before they could finish their words, Gu Tiangang, who was driving the carriage, slapped them and sent them flying.

Chen Yi was also happy to have some free time.

If he shows up, it will only attract more people to watch, which will not be worth the loss.

Nothing.

"Who in the world doesn't know you?" is not just a task, but a real way to spread your fame throughout the world.

Not only is he known as the "Little Sword Immortal", but because of the "Tianjiao List", his figure and appearance have also become well-known throughout the world.

Especially in the Wei Dynasty, many descendants of sects, holy places, aristocratic families, and academies regarded him as their target.

Some want to replace them, some admire them, and there are many supporters like the senior sisters in Danfeng Mountain.

"Being too famous is really a headache..."

……

Kyoto Prefecture at this time was much more lively than before.

Except for the imperial city, the nine city gates under the high walls on the east, west and south sides were all open, and there was even a little congestion with people coming in and out.

The team leaving the city was better, and there was almost no need for inspection.

However, the number of people and vehicles entering the city far exceeded that of the past, causing the city guards responsible for garrisoning the city to be extremely busy.

"Everyone, please show us your identification cards!"

"Especially those ferocious-looking ones in the back, stop looking at them, I'm talking about you!"

"Those of you who come here to do business should open the carriages for easy inspection! If we find any contraband, you will lose your heads!"

Chen Yuan and Chen Yan followed the team, calmly passed the inspection of the city guards, paid the entrance fee and entered Kyoto Prefecture directly.

Chen Yuan looked at the tall Suzaku Gate in the distance. The crowded crowd could not block his sight, and he felt a little dazed for a moment.

Fourteen years.

Fourteen years have passed since he left Kyoto Prefecture at the age of three and returned at the age of seventeen.

The vague Suzaku Street in his mind gradually overlapped with the scene before his eyes, making him feel somewhat familiar.

"That's the Kyoto Academy, and in the southeast corner is the Daisūra Temple."

Faintly, he could still hear the sound of bells coming from the Dakong Temple, and he seemed to smell the scent of sandalwood.

When the people passing by saw the two people stop, they all had some dissatisfaction on their faces, muttering something like "country bumpkins from other places" and took a detour.

But some martial artists recognized Chen Yuan because his long silver-white hair was too eye-catching.

"The fifth on the current Earth Ranking is Chen Yuan, the Ultimate Blade?"

"As his name suggests, his appearance is as cold as his sword."

"This time, he is also a candidate for first place. In the odds offered by Wangyue Tower, his chance of winning is ranked 13th."

"Oh? Why not the fifth?"

"Little brother, you are joking. You don't think that those who are not on the "Prodigy List" are not considered prodigies, do you?"

“Let’s not talk about anything else. In addition to Xie Dong’an, there are also descendants of saints in the Kyoto Academy, especially Wang Yang, who was taught by the great master.”

"Even though his name doesn't appear on the Tianjiao Ranking, no one dares to look down on him." "In addition, there is Liu Lang, the direct descendant of Sword God Dongfang. It is said that his talent in swordsmanship is no less than that of the 'Little Sword Immortal'."

"Then why aren't these people on the Tianjiao Ranking?"

"It is said that they have just finished their studies and come down from the mountains. They have never been active in the martial arts world before. Perhaps their rankings will be revealed in the Tianjiao Ranking in a while."

"..."

Chen Yan quietly looked at Chen Yuan's expression and asked in a low voice: "Master Yuan, do you want to go back to Wu'an Marquis Mansion, or..."

Chen Yuan came back to his senses and said calmly, "Go to Jingye Marquis Mansion."

"You want to go see the master first?" Chen Yan couldn't help but persuade him:
"The young lady misses you too. Why don't you go back to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to see her first, and then go see the master another day?"

Chen Yuan ignored him and immediately walked north along Zhuque Street.

Seeing this, Chen Yan felt a chill in his heart.

On the way back, after seeing what Chen Yuan did, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Especially after Chen Yuan ordered the "Hidden Dragon Seed" to assassinate Chen Yi, he knew that there was no room for maneuver between Chen Yuan and the old marquis.

If it weren't for his strenuous efforts to mediate, those "potential dragon seeds" that had grown up with great difficulty would probably have died tragically under Chen Yi's sword.

After all, the best among those people are only at the fourth level of spiritual realm.

With such a strong cultivation level, he couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from Chen Yi.

What's the difference between letting them run over and assassinate "Little Sword Immortal" and just letting them die.

However, this also made Chen Yan realize that the conflict between Chen Yuan and the old marquis was probably irreparable, just like that between Zhou Wanyi and the old marquis.

Thinking of this.

Chen Kuan sighed secretly, and followed Chen Yuan helplessly, all the way to Jingye Marquis Mansion.

Not long after, Chen Yuan stood under a red double door. Under the eaves of the door hung an old plaque - Zhou Mansion.

Chen Kuang went forward and knocked on the door. The doorman opened a crack, and the person inside saw him and said with a smile on his face:

"Old housekeeper, you are finally back."

"Well, is the master in the mansion?" Chen Kuang pushed open the door, asked the visitor, and respectfully invited Chen Yuan to come in.

The concierge saw the long silver hair, looked at it carefully, and whispered:
"The master is in the backyard. He hasn't left there for five days."

Before Chen Kuang could continue asking questions, he saw Chen Yuan walking towards the backyard, so he quickly chased after him.

"Master Yuan, why don't I go to the backyard to report first? If the master knows that you are back, he will definitely be very happy."

Chen Yuan said coldly: "He would be happier if I went there in person."

"But……"

"Old housekeeper, are you trying to stop me?"

"I dare not!" Shen Yan was stunned for a moment and had to lower his head and move aside.

Chen Yuan glanced at him and walked straight across the hall.

In fact, ever since he entered Jingye Marquis Mansion, his sword intent has covered the entire house.

However, in this ancient house, several formations had already been set up, making it difficult for him to sense clearly.

But after he entered the backyard, he paused and frowned.

Not only him, but also Chen Yan beside him noticed something and looked around.

a long time.

Chen Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master Yuan, it seems that the master is out."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan did not answer, but continued to cross the pond in the backyard, following his memory all the way to the Zhou family's ancestral hall.

He retained many memories of his childhood.

He especially remembered the dungeon under the pond and the fact that Zhou Tiance made him kneel in the ancestral hall before he went to Wuliang Mountain.

When Chen Yuan arrived at the innermost ancestral hall, he felt a little resentful when he saw that it was empty.

"Grandpa, are you avoiding me?"

Perhaps because he heard his words, Chen Yan quickly explained: "Master Yuan, the master must have other things to deal with. Why don't you go back to Wu'an Marquis Mansion first?"

"When the master comes back, I will come to pick you up?"

Chen Yuan still ignored him and scanned the furnishings of the ancestral hall. His eyes fell on the altar - there was a letter there!

He dodged over, and the dark blue sword intent spread out, causing the spirit tablet in the ancestral hall to vibrate and the candlelight to dim.

Chen Kuang also saw the letter and after hesitating for a moment, he followed in.

At this time, Chen Yuan had already opened the letter. He glanced around and his expression suddenly became colder.

Without waiting for Shen Yan to see what was going on, he suddenly crushed the entire letter into pieces.

"Grandpa, you are forcing me!!"

At this moment, the expression on Chen Yuan's face was vaguely ferocious, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Chen Yan looked at the scraps of paper scattered all over the floor, his heart sank again, and he couldn't help but ask:
"It was a letter from the master. What did he say?"

Chen Yuan turned his head to stare at him and said coldly: "You said before that you would tell me everything when I return to Kyoto Prefecture!"

"I……"

Chen Yan's expression was somewhat complicated. He had already guessed the content of Zhou Tiance's letter.

There was silence for a long time.

Chen Yan looked at Chen Yuan, who was full of murderous intent, and sighed, "Since Young Master Yuan has come as agreed, I have no reason not to tell you."

Chen Yuan was still staring at him, holding the Wanjun Sword in his hand. The dark blue sword intent had already extinguished the candlelight around him.

And in the sword's intent, there were a few faint murderous intentions surrounding and locking onto Chen Yan.

"In fact, 'Qianlong' was not built by the master, but by your uncle, the former Jingye Marquis Zhou Guanwu."

Chen Yan knew that it was meaningless to hide it any longer, so he just started talking to himself.

"Your uncle wanted to build a troop that could threaten the demons of the demon court, so he planned to build 'Qianlong'."

Chen Yuan asked in a cold tone: "So the 'Qianlong' was not built twenty years ago, but earlier?"

Chen Yan nodded and said, "To be exact, it was thirty-eight years ago. At that time, your uncle had just succeeded to the position of Marquis Jingye."

"He collected a group of beggars from the public, and bought many children from human traffickers, and asked the soldiers of the Jingye Army to train them. This is the first batch of 'potential dragon seeds'."

"Unfortunately, after three years, before he could carry out the second step of his plan, he went to Beixiong Pass to garrison."

"I'm sure you've heard about what happened next," Chen Yan paused and continued:

"The Demon Emperor Fengyue of the Demon Court ascended the throne and led the demon army south to attack Beixiong Pass. Your uncle Zhou Guanwu and several great uncles and uncles died there."

"The master was also seriously injured and dying there, and was saved by the King of Zhenbei and Chen Taiping and others."

"From then on, 'Qianlong' was managed by your grandfather and me."

Chen Yuan frowned, clenched the Wanjun Knife, gritted his teeth and asked: "So the current 'Qianlong' is still influenced by him!"

Shen Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know how to explain it, but it is true."

"The master has changed since the war."

"Originally, after passing the title of Marquis to Master Guanwu, he stayed at home peacefully. If it weren't for the sudden change at Beixiong Pass, he wouldn't have put on his armor and went to support."

"But I didn't expect that fierce battle would result in 200 casualties in the Zhou Mansion, and even the ancestor was killed by the Lion King, one of the 36 generals of the Demon Court, in order to rescue Young Master Guan Wu."

"Since then, the master has been extremely sad and his temperament has changed drastically. He has become very extreme in his approach to some things."

As he spoke, Shen Yan looked at Chen Yuan's expression and said, "It's your second brother. The master also..."

Chen Yuan's face changed slightly, and he asked in a cold voice: "What did you mean?! Did he also plot against my second brother?!"

Chen Kuang gritted his teeth and nodded.

Although he had no idea what Zhou Tiance wrote in the letter, after so many years of getting along with him, he could guess that the content included some information about the inheritance of the title of Marquis Jingye.

Maybe he wanted Chen Yuan to change his last name to Zhou...

"In fact, the master didn't want to harm Master Yi's life. He just wanted to drive away the heirs of the Chen family except you."

"According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, you alone can inherit the titles of marquis of both Chen and Zhou. This way, you will not only be honored, but also not be criticized."

"But I didn't expect that Young Master Yi was so lucky that he was safe and sound three times. So the master and I didn't have the chance to do it again."

Having said that, Chen Kuang knew in his heart that after Chen Yi was listed on the "Tianjiao List", they no longer had the opportunity to take action.

Now, after the battle of Zhennan Pass, Chen Yi's name as "Little Sword Immortal" has become a sensation throughout the world, and they no longer have the strength to take action.

But Chen Kuang also knew that Zhou Tiance would not give up...

Chen Yuan's face turned pale in an instant, almost as pale as his white hair.

He didn't expect that Zhou Tiance was not only cruel to him, but was also secretly targeting Chen Yi.

"I, my second brother, does he know?"
