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

Chapter 245 The prosperous world is only lacking the immortal guest (please subscribe)
"Ah, the spring is bright and beautiful, and Kyoto is bustling and peaceful!"

Someone howled loudly on the busy Zhuque Street, causing passers-by to subconsciously look back.

There was silence for a moment.

Then there were bursts of different laughter, from men, women, young and old.

"Nowadays, with so many Jianghu people and sect disciples coming to Kyoto Prefecture, it is lively but not necessarily peaceful."

An old man in sackcloth looked at the people coming and going on the street and sighed:

"The war in the southern barbarian land has just begun, but the hundred thousand mountains outside the Beixiong Pass are still threatening the border at all times."

“I wonder if our Lord Yingwu Hou can go north to attack the demon court like he did at Zhennan Pass and destroy the Hundred Thousand Mountains with one sword.”

The acquaintance next to him smiled and shook his head and said, "Old Liu, although Lord Yingwu Hou is powerful, it would be difficult for him alone to resist the sharp edge of the demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

"When the Wei Dynasty was first established, those ancestors were also brilliant and talented, and each of them was a first-class hero. Even they failed to pacify the demon court. How dare you let Lord Yingwu Hou rashly go north now?"

"That's right. Even though Lord Yingwu Hou retreated to Zhennan Pass to avoid the barbarians, that was because the ancestor of the Nanman Sect hadn't come out yet."

Others echoed, "Even if the court wanted Lord Yingwu to defeat the monster, I'm afraid they would be powerless."

"Didn't Lord Yingwu Hou force Wuliang Mountain to close its doors a few days ago? It is said that the old ancestor of Gushan took action, and there was also 'Black Impermanence' Liao Wei..."

Although this is true, people who hear such comments will inevitably feel disappointed.

The threat from the Demon Court has been around for a long time, causing the seventeen prefectures of the Wei Dynasty to endure too much pain.

Not to mention the major battles in the past when the demons marched south to seize the passes, even the so-called "Jumping over the Dragon Gate" by the Demon Court could cause a river of blood to flow outside the Beixiong Pass, and the casualties caused would cause an entire street to be hung with white silk.

"In the midst of prosperity, there are thousands of sorrows; in the prosperous world, only the immortals are missing."

A short poem written by an unknown person reached Chen Yi's ears, causing some ripples in his cold heart.

Although the rhythm of this poem is not neat, he can hear the sorrow of the people of the Wei Dynasty towards the evil court in the north.

But yes.

During the thousand years of the Wei Dynasty, the Demon Court had repeatedly attacked the city and committed countless murders, so naturally many people were distressed.

Chen Yi sat alone in the tavern, drinking silently.

He doesn't like drinking, he just drinks occasionally, unlike Alang and Zhan Hongxiu.

I remember the first time I drank was on Jianfeng Mountain.

At that time, Senior Sister Zhan Hongxiu had not yet gone to Taizhou Mountain and had invited him several times, so he took the opportunity to have a drink when celebrating Lin Xueru's birthday.

Since then, whenever they had small gatherings, Zhan Hongxiu would take the wine glass and he would have a few drinks.

"It's been almost a year since Senior Sister Zhan and Senior Brother Lu went to Mount Taizhou, right?"

Chen Yi calculated the time, and his mind flashed with the domineering Zhan Hongxiu, the free and easy Lu Cheng, and Senior Sister Ning Xue who had just left for Mount Taizhou...

“I don’t know how they are doing there.”

Not long after they separated, Chen Yi already missed them a little.

Inexplicably, he sighed in his heart.

People in Kyoto Prefecture are exposed to more things than people in other prefectures. No matter whether there is a war between the North and the South, as long as the court is here, they will always get the news first.

But all they can see and hear is the surface.

It seems that there are only demons in the Demon Court and the Shiwanda Mountains outside Beixiong Pass, but in fact, the more dangerous ones are on Mount Taizhou.

Even if the Ten Thousand Mountains were cleared, if the demons on Mount Taizhou were not eliminated, it would still only provide temporary relief and would not be able to completely eliminate the danger of the demons.

In addition to the obvious threat from the Demon Court, there are many unknown threats hidden within the Wei Dynasty.

For example, the plan of "Ji Jing Tian" was known to only a handful of people in the Wei Dynasty, or only Chen Yi and Li Qingzhou knew about it.

Now, the great master Lin Zhongke should be added.

Even Emperor Wei, Jiu Qiansui and others knew nothing about "Ji Jing Tian" and still used "Eagle" instead.

At the same time, a hint of doubt arose in Chen Yi's heart.

Originally, he thought that Chen Yuan took over the position of Marquis Jingye in order to find out the secrets of the Northern Demon Court and the Baishen Sect through Zhou Tiance.

But he joined the "Extremely Pure Heaven" inexplicably, which made it difficult for him not to have doubts -

Could it be that the left prime minister, Xie Dongan’s grandfather, Xie Jing, also knew about the “Eagle”?
As far as he knew, there were no more than five people in the court who knew about "Eagle", and Xie Jing was not one of them.

"Maybe it's a coincidence." Chen Yi thought silently.

After all, in addition to being a member of the "Ji Jing Tian", Zhou Guanwu is also a member of the Zhou family with pure blood and is Chen Yuan's uncle.

Even Chen Yi was surprised by this, let alone the boss who was still kept in the dark?

"Zhou Guanwu..."

Speaking of which, this former Marquis Jingye can indeed be called a "prodigy" now, and he has certain similarities with Chen Yi.

Both of them were born in the Wuhou family under the command of King Zhenbei, and they were enrolled in Wuliangshan and Taixu Taoist Sect respectively.

Later, they became famous at a young age. The former took over the position of Jingye Hou and went to Beixiong Pass to garrison the border, while the latter achieved the position of Wu Hou by killing "Black Impermanence" Liao Wei.

However, even Chen Yi found it hard to imagine what would happen after Zhou Guanwu took over as Marquis of Jingye.

——It is suspected that someone was sacrificed to the Zhou family to join the "Extremely Pure Heaven".

——Inexplicably became the leader of the God Worshiping Sect, and had a tacit relationship with the Demon Court.

In addition, Zhou Guanwu is also the founder of "Qianlong", which makes him a sharp weapon in the hands of the old marquis Zhou Tiance after he takes over.

Compared with Zhou Guanwu, Chen Yi is slightly inferior in all aspects except for his talent, cultivation, and some combat achievements.

"It is undeniable that Zhou Guanwu is indeed an extraordinary person."

"Pity."

Unfortunately, he should never have provoked me!

So far, Chen Yi has found out what Zhou Guanwu, Zhou Tiance and Zhou Wanyi did.

Except for the fact that he was still unclear about the plan of "Jijingtian", he already knew almost everything.

And the reason why Chen Yi had suffered misfortune since birth was also among them——

The gluttony pill given during the one-year-old grasping ceremony was indeed given to Chen Taiping by Zhou Wanyi, and later fed to him by Xia Wanwan.

Perhaps out of guilt, Zhou Wanyi appeared later and fed him some cakes and food, hoping that he would gain something from the ceremony.

The same was probably true of the poisonous fruit he ate when he was two years old.

But in the subsequent events, Zhou Wanyi seemed to have cut off contact with Zhou Tiance, devoted herself to Buddhism, and no longer asked questions or took any action.

Just now, during the Lantern Festival, a "crazy old man" robbed him and sold him to a human trafficker in order to make him disappear from the Chen family.

Then Zhou Tiance surfaced and planned for Chen Yuan to join Wuliang Mountain.

During this period, the "hidden dragons" Chen Yi met were all instructed by Zhou Tiance behind the scenes, until he met Lou Yuhuang of Wuliang Mountain before returning to Kyoto Prefecture.

"The root of the problem lies in Zhou Guanwu!"

If Zhou Guanwu had not secretly connected with "Jijingtian" and the Demon Court, the Zhou family would not have made the decision on their offspring.

If nothing unexpected had happened to the Zhou family, Zhou Tiance would not have taken advantage of the marriage between Zhou Wanyi and Chen Taiping to plan to "occupy the magpie's nest".

With this thought, Chen Yi's inner turmoil subsided. He finished drinking the wine in the jug, ate the last piece of meat, and then left two silver coins and walked out of the tavern.

It was already night, but there were not only no fewer people walking around, but many more than during the day.

After a busy day, people take their families for a walk.

Many traveling merchants, despite their exhaustion, were also happy and would bring some of their peers to the taverns.

There are also many wanderers mixed in, dressed in different clothes.

Even though many martial artists appear to be ferocious, few people in Kyoto are afraid of them.

After all, each street and alley is guarded by runners from the two counties, and patrolled by people from the night watch and the city guards.

Even those geniuses with powerful cultivation did not dare to cause trouble in Kyoto Prefecture and risk being wanted by the court.

"In the midst of prosperity, there are thousands of sorrows..."

While Chen Yi was looking at the travelers around him, he was sensing Wen Renying's movements with his murderous sword intent.

When he realized that the "witch" had sneaked into the sky prison, a smile appeared on his face.

But under the street lights at night, his smile was unusually cold.

It didn't take long.

Chen Yi followed the crowd for a while, turned into the alley, stepped into the shadows and disappeared.

The next moment, he appeared in the heavily guarded sky prison outside the imperial palace.

The "witch woman" Wen Renying, who was pretending to be an ordinary cell guard, caught sight of him and was startled.

Fortunately, she did not forget her identity. She drew the broadsword hanging from her waist and asked in a timid tone:
"Who are you to dare to break into the prison?!"

Chen Yi still looked like Lu Xiaofeng, no wonder Wen Renying couldn't recognize him.

He looked at the "witch" and chuckled:
"You acted it quite convincingly."

"grown ups?"

When Wen Renying heard this familiar voice, she pointed at his face with a strange expression: "You, what are you..."

"Go ask someone where Wang Yang, the newly-imprisoned student from Kyoto Academy, is right now."

Chen Yi did not explain much. As his divine sense spread, he could only detect that there were several levels inside the Heavenly Prison, but he could not detect the prisoners in each cell.

I think the formation here is equally powerful, and should be of the same origin as the imperial palace not far away.

Afterwards, Chen Yi was surrounded by a divine presence that was so close yet so far away that he seemed to disappear into the shadow at Wenren Ying's feet like an invisible being.

This is a divine power he mastered after practicing the "A World Away" body technique. Although it is not of great use, it is convenient for hiding.

Wen Renying was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said secretly:
"Your Excellency's appearance really shocked me~"

"Stop talking nonsense. We don't have much time tonight." Chen Yi replied in a cold voice, and then he also released a divine power to protect Wen Renying.

After all, there are formations protecting the prison from all directions. If he is discovered by the guards, it will cause trouble and affect his time.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will find someone for you right away."

Having said that, Wen Renying walked inside with a coquettish step without hesitation.

While rushing around, she was secretly happy in her heart.

This is a powerful person in the realm of supernatural powers who is protecting her, so what is she afraid of?

Not to mention this Heavenly Prison, she even had the courage to break into the Wei Dynasty's Imperial Palace and the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Demon Court.

It didn't take long.

Wen Renying used her charm technique to control a captain who had reached the fourth level of spiritual realm.

"Class leader, I wonder where the imprisoned Mr. Wang Yang from Kyoto Academy is."

The captain looked middle-aged, wearing a suit of grey scale armor and a black-handled broadsword hanging from his waist. He replied calmly:
"Number five on the ground."

"Please lead the way, sir~"

Wenren Ying bowed and saluted. People who didn’t know her would think she was an ordinary and well-behaved cell guard.

The middle-aged lieutenant said with difficulty: "I can't go deep into the ground building either. Only the three deputy generals and the prison boss can go there."

"Vice general?"

Wenren Ying waited for a moment, and seeing that Chen Yi did not speak, she ordered the captain to lead the way.

Then, the two of them walked through the cells one after the other, and when they reached the deepest cell, they went down the stairs.

Most of the people imprisoned in the cells on this floor are ordinary people. Their cultivation level is not obvious and judging by their clothes, they look like hooligans or thieves.

When they saw them passing by, these people immediately shut their mouths and lowered their heads, with some fear on their faces.

After passing through another layer, and passing by some martial artists with strong cultivation capabilities, as well as ordinary death row prisoners with murderous auras, Chen Yi transmitted his voice:

"Ask him what's so special about the Sky Prison."

The reason why he came to the Heavenly Prison in person was that Chen Yi believed that the people from "Jijingtian" had gone to great lengths to send Wang Yang in, and it could not be Bu Xianqi, and they must have some purpose.

If he could find out their purpose, he would be able to destroy the plan of "Ji Jing Tian" after getting rid of Wang Yang.

Wenren Ying asked immediately.

The middle-aged lieutenant replied: "This sky prison is just a prison cell. There is nothing special about it. It's just the formation inside."

"If there is anything special, it should be the people or demons imprisoned inside."

"In the Dizi Building where Wang Yang is, most of the prisoners are evil demons with cultivation levels above the third level, and there are also two big demons."

"These evil demons and monsters are cruel by nature and powerful. If we are caught by them, there will be casualties even in this cell."

"In the past, there was a case where a captain broke into the ground building without permission, and his fate was very miserable."

Evil spirits, monsters, or people with high cultivation level?
Chen Yi had a vague guess in his mind. Could it be that "Ji Jing Tian" let Wang Yang in in order to release someone imprisoned in the cell through him?
Wen Renying also had some guesses and asked with interest, "What about that cell? Is that also a demon?"

"I don't know about the Tianzi Tower either," the middle-aged lieutenant said hesitantly, "I have been on duty in this prison for fifteen years and have never been to the Tianzi Tower."

"I've only heard some rumors that the people imprisoned in Tianzi Tower are evil demons above the Grandmaster level."

"Some seniors also said that there are secrets in the Tianzi Building that are unknown to outsiders. It is said that once leaked, it will cause a shock to the court."

Without Chen Yi's reminder, Wen Renying continued to ask other questions, such as the number of prisoners held in the sky prison, the deputy guard and the prison chief.

"The jailer doesn't come here often. Usually, there are a few lieutenants guarding here."

"The deputy general is guarding? What kind of cultivation is that?"

"I only know that one of the deputy generals is at the second level of the Divine Wandering Realm... Look, the one below is him."

Wenren Ying looked in the direction the middle-aged captain pointed and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

After all, he had not awakened the Nine-Tailed Fox's bloodline magical power. The person controlled by this enchantment technique was really honest—

At the staircase leading to the Di Building, a military commander in black armor, sitting cross-legged in the air, was looking at them with a cold expression.

"Why would a guard responsible for guarding outside the prison come here?"
