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

Chapter 357: Poisonous Scheme! (Subscribe)
The main hall of the Demon Court Palace is quiet and majestic, with a black stone roof and a few simple patterns painted in the middle with rough brushstrokes. It vaguely looks like a phoenix, but if you look closely, it looks like a nine-tailed fox.

Despite this, the hall was not dark or cold, but rather bright and warm, as if it was exposed to direct sunlight.

At this moment, hearing the Barbarian King speaking, the anger on Lu Chen's face slowly subsided. He glared at the Shadow Demon, then looked up and said:

"Emperor, I just received news from Renji City that those old guys have begun to clean up the puppets we have planted in the human race."

"Hong Tian personally took action and captured Qiu Yangming directly. None of the remaining 132 puppets were spared."

The shadow demon sitting opposite glanced at it and said in a sinister tone: "The same is true for Sky Dome City and several nearby acropolises, but the speed is slower. So far, only twelve puppets have been captured."

Then, a naked, golden demon sitting beside it, with sparks all over its body, spoke in a buzzing voice:
"The situation in Diyan City is similar to that in Renji City. Almost all the puppets deployed in the city were swept away by her."

After the three great demons finished speaking, the Barbarian King at the top was still leaning on the bony throne, but he was hidden in the shadows, and his face could not be seen clearly. One could only see his crystal white hands knocking on the back of the chair.

Dang, Dang, Dang...

Amid the slow yet crisp knocking sounds, the dozen or so great monsters present remained silent. Even the Jiaolong Lu Chen withdrew his gaze and lowered his head slightly.

Suddenly.

The knocking stopped.

The Barbarian King said in a lazy and calm tone:

"Master Ziying has studied the formations in depth, and her calculations have long surpassed her master. In addition, she has been focusing on the surroundings for many years, and she knows Diyan City and the ten nearby acropolises like the back of her hand... We have already expected this."

"But the situation in Renji City is somewhat unexpected."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of annoyance flashed across Lu Chen's eyes, but he didn't dare to refute at all.

At this time, the Barbarian Emperor paused and smiled softly, "Don't think too much, Ancestor Lu Chen. I am not blaming you."

"Your Majesty, I dare not!" Lu Chen said in a serious voice.

"Not daring doesn't mean... forget it," the figure at the top didn't say anything else, but waved his hand and said:

"I just want to tell you, don't underestimate the human race, especially the 'little sword fairy' who just arrived at the Taizhou Mountain battlefield."

Hear the words.

Several big demon kings looked at each other.

The demon covered in red gold asked with some doubt: "Emperor, we know that his talent and cultivation are not weak, and his growth rate is extraordinary."

"But he narrowly escaped death after being attacked by Ying Sen that day, which shows that his sword skills are far from being a threat to us."

The shadow demon beside him echoed, "We have already investigated clearly. He only has the sword art of the fifth level of supernatural power and a supernatural power footwork that seems to be passed down from ancient times. In addition, he has the ancient mythical beast Azure Dragon."

"With all the help, he was able to break Ying Sen's bloodline ability. His strength is not as strong as imagined."

The Barbarian King smiled upon hearing this, and did not refute their words. Instead, he smiled and said:
"What if he hasn't imprinted his divine will on the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge' yet?"

The expressions of the great demon kings present all changed, and Lu Chen was even more shocked:

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't believe you, but, if Chen Yi didn't have the blessing of the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge', how could he kill Ying Sen?"

You have to know that the shadow demon who has reached the sixth level of magical powers and possesses three great magical powers - it is blessed by the 'Bridge of Heaven and Earth'!

If Chen Yi did not have the imprint of divine will, then it would not be a simple matter of suppression by the 'Bridge of Heaven and Earth'.

But with this addition and subtraction, a difference of almost four times in cultivation and divine power, how did he kill Ying Sen!
"Understood?"

The Barbarian King laughed twice, and continued in a serious tone: "He may not be a threat to us now, but..."

"If we let him live any longer, he will definitely pose a threat to the Demon Court!"

It is not talking about itself or the Great Demon King, but the entire "Demon Court".

Such wording is enough to show its attitude.

The great demon kings present naturally understood the meaning of its words. They looked at each other, and Lu Chen asked:
"Emperor, what are you going to do?"

"Give up the previous plan and change it."

"This……"

"Haha, Elder Lu Chen, are you unwilling to see your years of planning go to waste or are you not taking Chen Yi's threat seriously enough?"

As he spoke, the Barbarian King sat up and slowly emerged from the shadows into the light.

Then I saw that it had a body shape exactly like a human, with a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a wide mouth and nose, and looked like a human general.

It was wearing a crimson robe that was as fine and smooth as silk, with the front of the robe wide open, revealing the curly hair on its chest.

Even though it had a smile on its face, it still carried a domineering aura, an unquestionable dominance.

Lu Chen looked at it, opened his mouth slightly, and revealed a few fangs.

But it quickly closed its mouth again, shook its head and said, "Your Majesty, I obey your command."

"That's right," the Barbarian King smiled and nodded. He then glanced around and saw that no Great Demon King spoke again, so he continued:

"Remember, whether the previous plan is successful or not is not the key. Even if we cannot inflict heavy damage to the human race, as long as that person is here, it will not affect our plan."

"Don't forget, the purpose of all this is to get that secret realm - if we get it, we can get all the secrets of the ancient demon court!"

Hearing this, all the great demon kings nodded in agreement.

Seeing this scene, the Barbarian King smiled brightly, "As for how to deal with Chen Yi, it's very simple, just make him leave the human race."

"Then you can kill him yourself."

Lu Chen wanted to ask how to get Chen Yi out, but the eagle demon on the opposite side spoke first:
"Your Majesty, when I went to Youdu City this time, Chen Yi refused to come out. I'm afraid it will be difficult for such a cautious person to fall into the trap again, right?"

"Then give him a reason to come out." The Barbarian King looked at it and his smile faded, saying lightly:
"I have recently read all the stories about him and I know that since he left Taixu Dao Sect, most of his actions have been for the human race, and only a small part has been for himself."

"So we just need to capture more humans to force him to show up!"

The eagle demon understood and said, "Emperor, do you want us to capture all the human scouts outside the city?"

The Barbarian King nodded slightly, and said with a smile and bright eyes: "In fact, I have thought a lot and seen a lot in this Demon King Palace during this period of time."

"The question I think about most often is this: We have been fighting with the human race for a thousand years. The human race has three fortified cities, thirty citadels, and more than a hundred inner cities. Not only has their population not decreased, but it has increased year by year. What is the reason for this?"

"This one……"

Hearing its question, the great demon kings all lowered their heads and began to think.

Previously, they only thought about killing more people, or trapping them to death to prevent them from going to the Taizhou Mountain realm to grow, and they had never discovered or thought about the problem of the human race's population.

Now that they heard what the Barbarian King said, they realized that this was indeed the situation. After killing for a thousand years, not only had the human race increased in number, but the skills of the soldiers guarding each city had also become higher and higher.

On the other hand, in their demon court, the number of great demon kings has neither increased nor decreased from thousands of years ago, and it remains the same.

As one grows stronger, the other loses. All the great demon kings in the demon court realized the seriousness of the problem. Even if Chen Yi was not there this time, if they did not change, a thousand or even a hundred years later, the human race would still have the strength to threaten them.

"Emperor, please tell us what to do."

"Don't worry. We have plenty of time today. I will finish what I want to say all at once so that you don't have to live in the glory of the past." The Barbarian King said something to them indifferently. Without waiting for them to speak, he continued:
"The reason why the human race has increased instead of decreased is not only because the Tianyuan Continent has developed steadily, but also because the human race in Taizhou Mountain has mastered how to resist us."

"When we encounter a surprise attack, they have scouts to investigate and formations to warn and block, which is enough for the soldiers on guard to react, so that every attack we make will have little effect."

"When encountering a major war, they will arrange a charge formation... that is, the human race that you often see forming the Three Talents Formation. Although they are just beginning to enter the realm of magical powers, with the blessing of the formation, they can often resist the strong men of the fourth and fifth realms of my demon court, and also make it impossible for us to inflict heavy damage on them."

"Plus, they only retreated to defend, just like the Wei Dynasty in Tianyuan Continent. They never took the initiative to attack and gave us no chance to take advantage of. That's why the human race is what it is today."

Pause for a moment.

Seeing that the demons were listening carefully, the Barbarian King spoke out the key points: "I want to take this opportunity to target Chen Yi to make you understand one thing - to deal with the human race, it is not enough to just practice. We must also learn how to use our brains and formulate targeted strategies to achieve our goals."

This time, Lu Chen could no longer hold back and said, "Emperor, we also had some strategies before..."

"Your so-called strategy is to have the big demon who has just entered the realm of magical power tear open the human race's formation, and then let the small demons rush into the city and fight for their lives with the human race?"

The Barbarian King said with disdain: "Ancestor Lu Chen, you don't think that secretly planting some puppets is equal to strategy, right?"

"That's just a trick to cover up the eyes and ears of the human race and attract their attention."

"In my opinion, the so-called strategy is to target their weak spots and effectively cause them casualties or even severely injure them."

Lu Chen was speechless and remained silent for a few breaths before he said in a muffled voice, "Emperor, just tell me directly, what do you want us to do?"

The Barbarian King glanced at it, his expression softened, and he said, "Don't do anything. Let's see the effect this time."

"I said before that the 'Little Sword Immortal' is not simple, and even my plan may not work."

"But now our demon court is still suppressing the human race, so it doesn't hurt to try a few more times."

Then, the Barbarian King told his plan and assigned tasks to each of the demon kings.

"Do your best to capture all their outposts and scouts."

"I remind you, before I decide to lure out Chen Yi, if anyone dares to eat a person, don't blame me for being rude!"

"We obey the emperor's order. We dare not."

Seeing the great demon kings responding like this, the Barbarian King smiled again and said in a slightly calmer tone:

"Then there is one last thing - when will the Wind Moon Demon King come to Taizhou Mountain?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fox demon sitting at the outermost edge of the hall stood up lightly and saluted:
"Emperor, Fengyue has postponed her arrival again."

The Barbarian King grinned and asked, "What's the reason this time?"

"She didn't say it, but there are some speculations in the letter from Patriarch Di Tian. It seems that Feng Yue wanted to go south to attack Beixiong Pass before coming to Taizhou Mountain."

"Oh?"

The Barbarian King paused, thought for a moment, and nodded, "That is indeed her character. After all, the human Chen Yi has already come to Taizhou Mountain. If it were me, I would also have thoughts about Beixiong Pass."

"Then," the fox demon hesitated, "will your coronation ceremony be..."

"Let's proceed as scheduled," the Barbarian King interrupted, "Send a message to Patriarch Di Tian, ​​telling him not to worry about Feng Yue anymore, and have it rush back to Mount Tai Zhou as soon as possible. I'll need it to preside over my ascension to the throne this time."

"Yes."

The other great demon kings all showed joy upon hearing this, and even Lu Chen's eyes showed a hint of smile.

The Barbarian King's ascension to the throne not only means that the Taizhou Mountain Demon Court has officially separated from the Tianyuan Continent's Demon Court, but also means that these great demon kings can obtain greater benefits.

"For the next month, you will execute according to the plan," the Barbarian King knew their thoughts very well, and after giving them an order, he gave them a sweet treat:
"Until the grand ceremony begins, I will grant you the secrets of the ancient demon court, allowing my demon court to regain its former glory!"

"Thank you for the royal gift!"

"When the ceremony is over, we will use the lives of those humans and Chen Yi to celebrate. Let's encourage each other."

"We will obey the emperor's order!"

Seeing this, the Barbarian Emperor clapped his hands with a smile and said:
"Okay, let the little demons serve the delicious food that we have prepared."

Then, outside the hall, more than a dozen fox demons dressed in leaves came up one after another, with ropes behind them tying up hundreds of dazed-looking people.

When they arrived in front of the many great demon kings, these fox demons quickly untied the ropes on them and knocked them all out.

Then the leading fox demon signaled to the other fox demons, took off the leaves on his body, and lay on the ground like all the others, shouting in unison:

"Please enjoy, elders!"

"Hahaha... I'll go first."

Not long after, the Barbarian King left, and the other great demon kings also left one after another, and everything returned to silence.

Only the fox demon who had been sitting at the lower position sighed, and a hint of sadness appeared on his face as he thought about the silent and quiet appearance of those younger fox demons.

"What is the difference between our fox race and the human race?"

……

Youdu City.

Chen Yi was not aware of what the demon court was discussing. After settling the drunk Zhan Hongxiu, Lu Cheng, and Jiang Yunni, he gestured to Ning Xue and said:
"Senior sister, please take me around Youdu."

"it is good."

Then the two of them stood side by side, walking and stopping in Youdu City.

Although Chen Yi's mental perception had already covered the entire city, and even the places within a radius of 7,000 miles that were not covered by the formation were in his mind, he still wanted to stroll around, wander around without a purpose.

There was silence for a long time.

Ning Xue forced a smile and looked at him sideways: "Junior brother, are you still thinking about what Senior Sister said just now?"

Chen Yi did not hide it and nodded, "It touched me deeply."

After years of killing, his mind has become as hard as a rock.

But after listening to what Zhan Hongxiu had seen and heard during the two years on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, he still found it difficult to control himself, with a sea of ​​thoughts.

Just like what he thought when he was at Beixiong Pass - when so many people were enjoying themselves, had they ever thought that the reason they could live like this was because someone was bearing the brunt of it all?
When they complain about the hardships of life and the injustice of the world, have they seen how hard those people are fighting?
If not, these despicable people might as well die early!

"Everyone will die..." Ning Xue paused and stopped talking. She then said:

"Junior brother, do you want to know what happened when Elder Cheng Yun of Yuhua Xianmen slapped you with his palm..."

"I, what am I thinking about?"
