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

Chapter 342 Conditions! (Subscribe)
It was the first time that Chen Yi encountered fluctuations in the "Xunwang Order".

Before, he would only go up occasionally to check if there was any notification of the "Xun Wangtian Dharma Assembly". Most of the time, there was only Qingfeng in that dark blue water mirror, as if she was there all the time.

I only meet a few others occasionally.

Chen Yi was puzzled and didn't have time to think about it. He probed his mind into the "Xunwang Order" and immediately saw several figures changing in the dark blue water mirror.

Except for Qingfeng and the half-demon princess Xiaolan, Jianchi has left, and has been replaced by Alang and the Eighth Prince, whom he had only met once at the first "Xunwangtian" ceremony.

[Chen Er, come quickly, Xiaolan is looking for you.] Qingfeng saw his mind doll appear and waved eagerly.

Chen Yi glanced at the half-demon princess and nodded in understanding. He did not rush to ask her, but greeted A Lang and the Eighth Prince first before asking:
[Have you informed the Wind Moon Demon King?]
Xiaolan's mind doll nodded, then looked at him with a strange expression.

[You asked me to inform mother before because you had other plans, right? Two demon kings appeared in the demon court, and you informed mother because you wanted to sit back and watch the fight, right?]
Chen Yi looked at her in surprise, "Do you still need to ask such a simple question? You already know that I am from Wei, and I am a Wuhou of the Wei Dynasty. I have lost countless ancestors to demons. I am definitely not compatible with the demon court."
Xiaolan stared at him with her big eyes and wanted to bite him: [Mother is right, you really have evil intentions.]
[Evil intentions?] Chen Yi looked at her with a half-smile, and said nonchalantly: [If I hadn't told you that news, you would have almost certainly died once you came to Taizhou Mountain. Even if I wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and harbor evil intentions, shouldn't you thank me?]
[Thank you...?]
Xiaolan puffed her lips. Although it was true that if she and her mother had not known about the existence of the Barbarian King in advance, they would have died if they went to Taizhou Mountain, but she still minded being used by Chen Yi.

Chen Yi glanced at the three people watching the show nearby and said with a smile: [It’s okay if you don’t feel grateful to me. We are even on this matter. You don’t need to look for me for the rest of the matter. I won’t agree to anything.]
Xiaolan was stunned, [Next... do you know what I'm going to say?]
[You called me here in such a hurry, you can't be asking me specifically, right?] Chen Yi paused for a moment, then speculated:

[The Demon Queen Fengyue asked you to come to me, right? She must be looking for me to make a deal. She wants me to find out the current situation of the Demon Court, preferably the details of the Barbarian King?]
[I guess she also said something bad about me, saying that I told you this with bad intentions, because I wanted to see her fight with the Barbarian King and cause chaos in the Demon Court, right?]
[You, you...] Xiaolan's eyes widened. She almost thought that Chen Yi was in the Demon King's Palace, but then she thought it was impossible. [How did you guess that?]
Chen Yi understood what was happening and said jokingly: [You are a princess with low cultivation level and you are in the Demon King's Palace. No matter what you do, you will definitely not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the Demon King Fengyue. I think you have explained almost everything except the matter of Xun Wangtian.]
[......]
Xiaolan looked at him with strange eyes, as if she was meeting him for the first time.

Originally, she only thought that Chen Yi was a peerless genius among the Wei people, with extraordinary cultivation and great courage. She didn't expect that he was also a human who was extremely good at scheming and plotting.

The key point is that the calculation is subtle and silent. If her mother Fengyue Demon Queen hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't even have thought of that.

Looking back now, her previous understanding of Chen Yi was too one-sided.

At this time, Qingfeng came over, hugged Xiaolan's mind doll and said: [Chen Er, you are not allowed to bully Xiaolan.]
Chen Yi laughed dumbly, shook his head and said: [It just happened to be the right time. The human race in Tianyuan Continent is isolated and helpless now. If there is no chaos in the demon court, the situation will be difficult to change.]
[Once I get caught up in that long fight, I won’t be able to participate in this secret realm, let alone the next time or the next time.]
Qing Feng raised his eyebrows and said: [You are here for this?]
[Of course, it wasn’t me who pushed for the two Demon Kings to appear in the Demon Court.] Chen Yi explained with a smile:
[It’s just that for me and the human race, letting the Wind Moon Demon King live is more suitable for the current situation.]
[That’s true… you’ve passed the test.] After Qingfeng finished speaking, he pulled Xiaolan aside and said a few words of comfort:

[Look, Chen Er didn't mean it. Why don't you continue talking? Didn't you just say you had something urgent to ask him? I had to use the emergency method of the Great Dream Heart Sutra.]
Xiaolan's expression calmed down a bit, and after thanking him, she added: "I will make up for your consumption in the transaction later, Sister Qingfeng."
[Haha, it’s settled, you guys go on.]
Qingfeng had a look of joy on his face. He gave Chen Yi a look, then went to chat with Alang and the Eighth Prince about other things. The lines of handwriting seemed to be related to the secret place, and the Eighth Prince talked about the "Netherworld River" in between.

Chen Yi looked at it for a while before looking at Xiaolan and asked: "Tell me, what requirements and conditions did the Fengyue Demon King put forward, and what can he give me?"
Xiaolan's mind doll bit her lips and snorted: [Mother said you can set any conditions, but she only hopes you can agree to the two deals.]
[Two?] Chen Yi asked curiously: [Besides the Barbarian King of the Demon Court, what else does the Fengyue Demon King want?]
[The passage you took to Mount Taizhou, my mother said, you didn’t go to Mount Taizhou from the Beizhili ferry, there must be another passage, she wanted to know the specific location.]
Chen Yi suddenly realized.

The Fengyue Demon Emperor was even more shrewd than he had imagined. As soon as he received the news, he was already thinking about how to fight back.

According to his previous inference, after the Fengyue Demon Emperor learned of the existence of the Barbarian Emperor, there were only two possibilities.

One is to control the great demon king and the ancestors who have returned to the Tianyuan Continent, eliminate those who have ulterior motives hiding among them, and then fight with the Barbarian King in a big way.

The second option is to endure and continue to stay in the Ten Thousand Mountains as the Demon King, slowly accumulating strength, and waiting for something to happen in the Taizhou Mountain Demon Court, and then she will give a thundering blow.

As for the location of the passage to the East China Sea that the Demon Queen Fengyue wanted, Chen Yi thought that she certainly did not want to launch a large-scale attack from there.

After all, it was still possible for her to attack Taizhou Mountain from the passage inside the Shiwan Mountains. If she took a detour through the Wei Dynasty and the Taizhou Mountain fortress, the outcome would be even worse.

Most of them were like him - repairing the plank road in the open while secretly passing through Chencang, and quietly sneaking into Taizhou Mountain from there.

Seeing him thinking, Xiaolan felt anxious and couldn't help asking: "Chen Yi, do you agree?"
Chen Yi glanced at her and said with a smile: [That passage is too dangerous, probably not suitable for Your Majesty the Demon King.]
[Then you don't want to?]
[No, I mean your mother has a better choice, but it has to meet all my conditions.]
Xiaolan glared at him and snorted: [Just tell me what your conditions are, and mother will agree to them.]
[Don’t rush to agree. Listen to my conditions first.] Chen Yi waved his hand and continued when he saw that she had calmed down:
[My condition is very simple. If I help the Wind Moon Demon Queen, she must promise to build a passage for my human race to the Taizhou Mountain boundary, and guarantee that it will not be destroyed within a hundred years.]
[Just that?] Xiaolan was stunned, [You don’t want to mention anything else? Natural treasures or human skills?]
Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a half-smile: [You should go back and tell Queen Fengyue first. If she disagrees, then this deal will be off.]
He knew very well that Xiaolan did not understand the situation in Taizhou Mountain, and she did not know that due to the blockade of the Demon Court, the human race in Tianyuan Continent could not even go to the Taizhou Mountain realm except for using the "Heaven and Earth Bridge" and the secret realm inside the fortress to improve.

You must know that the current location of the human race in Tianyuan Continent is only outside Taizhou Mountain, not even at the foot of the mountain.

There are some secret realms hidden in such areas, but I think there are not as many as those in the areas on Mount Taizhou.

It is impossible for him to improve the human race as a whole by himself, unless he can break through the encirclement of demons and completely defeat the Demon Court.

But such a thing cannot be accomplished in a day. He doesn't have that much time to waste here. He has his own things to do.

He wanted to investigate the dispute over the ancient Taoist tradition, the inheritance of the ancient Taoist court, Lingshan, and Demon Court, and even the more mysterious "Netherworld River", "Heaven and Earth Bridge", and so on.

Therefore, Chen Yi made such a request. [Okay.] Xiaolan nodded and said, [I will go back and discuss it with my mother, but my mother asked me to give you some things as a deposit.]
[You should have said it earlier. The deposit was given by Fengyue Demon King on his own initiative, so it cannot be counted as part of the transaction.] Chen Yi glanced at Qingfeng and the others and said:

[But I'll keep it with you for now. You can bring it all to me at the next Xunwangtian Dharma Assembly.]
[good. ]
After saying this, Xiaolan said goodbye to Qingfeng, Alang and the Eighth Prince, and her mind left the dark blue water mirror.

Ah Lang glanced at the place where she disappeared, and then looked at Chen Yi:
[You did this right after arriving at Taizhou Mountain. If the human race of Tianyuan Continent knew this, they would be ashamed of themselves.]
[It was just a coincidence,] Chen Yi replied, [I just happened to meet the demons that came from the demon court to attack and kill them, and asked them some questions.]
Ah Lang smiled and said: [Luck is also a kind of skill. I don’t have this kind of luck. Every time I go to the secret realm to practice, I always encounter problems of one kind or another.]
[Speaking of this, I just had Taoist Mu Zi do a divination a few days ago. The secret place we are going to visit in half a year has mixed results. I am afraid we should be careful.]
[Oh?] Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and said: [I haven't thought that far ahead. I wonder how much you know about that secret place? Are there some things in the inner circle that have been passed down since ancient times?]
[I heard that it was the dojo of a great and powerful person in ancient times, and it should be the immortal of the ancient Taoist temple.] Ah Lang recalled:
[According to what Taoist Mu Zi said before, cultivators below the fifth level of supernatural power have a high probability of achieving a breakthrough.]
[If a powerful person above the fifth level of supernatural power goes to the inner circle, he will be attacked by the secret realm formation. Even Taoist Master Muzi has to retreat because of its power.]
The dojo of the ancient immortals...

Chen Yi thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: [I wonder where the secret place is exactly? On the mountainside or foot of Mount Taizhou?]
[Of course it’s the top of the mountain,] Qingfeng rushed to answer: [It’s not far from my Xunwangtian. After our secret realm is over, I will take you to Xunwangtian. It will be very interesting.]
Chen Yi smiled and nodded, but did not ask any further questions.

Previously, when his cultivation level broke through to the Heavenly Man Realm, he had seen a system prompt that the White Tiger True Lord's Taoist temple of the ancient Taoist court was on the top of Taizhou Mountain, not far from the top of the Netherworld River.

I don't know if these two places are the same place.

That would be great. With Zhao Muzi, Zhao Tianhe and others by his side, he would have confidence in whatever he does.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi looked up at the golden seal characters above and couldn't help but exclaimed:

[Eighth Prince, you still haven't found the other side of the Netherworld River this time?]
[It’s not that easy.] The Eighth Prince sighed with a wry smile, and draped a long cape over his mind doll, looking mature and cute. He said:

[Besides the ferryman, there are other dangers on the Netherworld River. Even if I am fully prepared and use the ghost flower to cover the life force to avoid the evil ghosts at the bottom of the river, I still cannot avoid other threats.]
[Although there are banks on both sides of the river, once you really go deep into it, you have no idea where you are. Sometimes you can clearly see the shore, but when you really get there, you find that it is just an illusion, and there is a supernatural ghost hiding inside.]
[Is that so?]
Chen Yi thought of the ferryman he had seen before, and told him about his discovery at that time.

[…At that time, I only saw him from a distance. No matter how close I got, the distance between us never narrowed.]
After listening to him, the Eighth Prince looked him up and down and said, "Your talent is truly terrifying. Not everyone can see the 'Ferryman.'"
[In other words, you can’t see him just because you want to. Unless he shows up on his own initiative, even a strong Taoist like Muzi won’t have the chance to see him.]
[As for the distance, I don’t know. That old ghost is mysterious and unpredictable. It is difficult for ordinary people to guess what he does. Maybe he just wants to see you.]
Ah Lang nodded in agreement: [I have also heard that no one has ever seen the ferryman on the Netherworld River take action. It is said that everyone who saw it died.]
The Eighth Prince looked solemn and said, "It was the same the last time. My friends and I saw him from a distance and we turned back because we couldn't avoid him."
Ferryman...

Chen Yi couldn't help but feel fascinated as he thought about the dark figure fishing alone in the Netherworld River.

No one knows at what level of cultivation he must reach to be able to stand in front of the ferryman.

At that time, he will definitely ask some questions about ancient times.

Seeing that Xiaolan had not returned yet, Chen Yi told Qingfeng to inform him when there was any news. Then he withdrew his mind from the dark blue water mirror and waited quietly for Lou Yuchun to send him the token.

It was not unexpected for him that the Demon King Fengyue wanted to trade with him.

According to what the tiger demon said before, the Taizhou Mountain Demon Court should have surrendered to the new Demon King A'man, and it is unlikely that they would pass on the situation here to the Fengyue Demon King.

It can be said that apart from him, Fengyue Demon Queen cannot find anyone else who can help her, especially those demons.

In addition, he had previously made a deal with the Fengyue Demon King when he was in the Shiwan Mountains, so this deal was a natural thing.

However, the only thing Chen Yi was unsure of was whether the Demon King Fengyue had the courage to agree to his condition - to open up a passage for the human race to the Taizhou Mountain realm.

The reason why they are unsure is that once this passage is opened, it will be equivalent to destroying the Demon Court's thousand years of efforts.

But for the Demon Queen Fengyue, there are benefits to this deal if it goes through. In addition to getting what she wants, even several ancestors of the human race may stand on her side.

"I hope she can figure it out."

It didn't take long.

A soldier wearing blue armor and carrying a banner flew over alone and said with a bow:

"Sir, the general ordered me to bring you a pass token."

Chen Yi hummed, took the token from his hand, and just as he was about to observe it, he noticed the flag behind the visitor and asked:
"You are the flag bearer, right?"
