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

Chapter 372 The name of the pillar is her! (Subscribe)

Seeing that it was Mr. Er who came in person, Yue Ruifeng tactfully left first.

"Mr. Cui, I am waiting for you in Youdu City."

"Master Yue, you are too polite. I am inspecting various citadels and strong cities to find out the demons, puppets or traitors hiding in the human race. However, I think the interior of Youdu City should be clean."

Mr. Cui Sheng, the second master, smiled and bowed, without any airs of a human ancestor.

"Mr. Lao Cui praised me, and I am overwhelmed."

"After all, Chen Yi is in Youdu City, isn't he?"

Yue Ruifeng suddenly realized and nodded with a smile. He didn't have to take all the credit for himself, but Mr. Er was right to praise Chen Yi.

After he leaves.

Chen Yi followed Mr. Er and walked around Tianqiong City aimlessly, feeling emotional.

When he was in Kyoto Prefecture, he met the great master several times. The master also acted in an equal manner. He did not take advantage of his seniority or preach. At most, he tried to persuade them to reconcile.

I didn’t expect that Mr. Er is like this now.

Can it be considered a continuation of the Kyoto Academy?
Cui Sheng was unaware of this. He walked slowly forward, looking at the houses built of huge stones on both sides, and said with a smile:
"Tianqiong City is the first city built by the human race of our Tianyuan Continent in Taizhou Mountain. At that time, the human race was in the dark years and was enslaved and oppressed by the demon court. It can be said that life and death were not in our control."

"Under such circumstances, our ancestors found the Beizhili ferry and came to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, and built this fortified city in just ten years."

"It is said that because of the fear of being discovered by the Demon Court, the Taoist ancestor who was good at formations spent five years setting up a hidden formation here. Thousands of ancestors worked day and night to carefully collect stones and wood from the secret realms in all directions and built the Sky City bit by bit."

Having said this, Cui Sheng paused, pointed to a stone tablet several dozen feet high erected on the corner of the street and said:
"That is the 'pillar stone' that was specially made when Sky City was built to commemorate the achievements of our ancestors."

Chen Yi stopped and looked up at the stone tablet. "'Pillar'?"

"The word 'pillar' was originally a respectful title given by our race to those who have made great contributions," Cui Sheng said with a smile, "and gradually it has come to be regarded as a symbol of identity and strength."

"What about the Demon Court?"

"That's right, they followed suit and created the so-called 'Twelve Pillars', which is just a poor imitation," Cui Sheng said calmly, his smile faded.

"Those demons in the Demon Court don't know what sacrifice and dedication mean. They only care about themselves, and even their tribe can be used as a bargaining chip to improve their strength. Using the word 'pillar' to describe them... is ridiculous!"

Chen Yi nodded slightly and scanned the names on the stone tablet. At a glance, there were more than 14,000 names. Patriarch Mu Qing of Jianfeng Mountain was among them, ranking 33rd at the top.

Cui Sheng noticed his gaze, so he also looked up at the stone tablet and said, "Hong Gu, who is ranked first, is the grandfather of the current Hong Tian Patriarch."

"It was a critical period for the construction of Tianqiong City. Dozens of great demon kings inexplicably passed through here. The situation was urgent, so Hong Gu led the five ancestors to expose their whereabouts and attract those great demon kings to other places. They fought hard for three days and died."

"At that time, he was only forty-three years old, and his cultivation had already broken through to the upper stage of the Heavenly Man Realm, and his magical powers had even reached the sixth level. If he had not died so early, he might have been able to make further progress later."

"The second one, Cai Ying, is the ancestor of our Confucian school. He is a great Confucian who pioneered the path to becoming a saint. His cultivation is almost the same as Hong Gu. He died on the day when Tianqiong City was built."

"That day, the Demon Court discovered the existence of Sky City, and the army attacked. Countless ancestors fought hard, and it took fifteen days to repel them."

"The next twenty-five names on the stone tablet all died in that battle. That day was the greatest disaster for our race."

Cui Sheng looked at Chen Yi with a smile on his face: "Of course, our ancestors also caused the Demon Court to suffer heavy losses."

Hong Gu, Cai Ying, Sun Changming...

After listening, Chen Yi stared at those names, and the scout captain that the senior sister had mentioned before emerged in his mind.

“The human race has gone through a lot of hardships.”

After thinking for a while, Chen Yi asked, "Second Master, what do you think those traitors who conspired with the Demon Court to destroy our human race think?"

Cui Sheng paused and laughed: "This question... Based on my experience in the Taizhou Mountain battlefield for so many years, there are only two possibilities."

"Appreciate further details."

"One is that they were instigated by the demons in the Demon Court who are good at bewitching people's minds, using their great magical powers to control their minds, or to guide and magnify their inner demons."

"Secondly... they were treated unfairly by the human race, which made them feel dissatisfied."

Cui Sheng smiled and shook his head and said, "There is no absolute fairness and justice in the world. Right and wrong are in people's hearts. What they think is unfair may be a misunderstanding, or perhaps the disaster they suffered is indeed unbearable, but this is just an excuse to cover up their selfishness."

"In the face of the righteousness of the human race, there is no room for people like them to exist."

After saying that, Cui Sheng looked at Chen Yi and said seriously, "So this time, I patrolled the cities just to find all those people."

"I wish Mr. Er great success." Chen Yi bowed with a smile.

Cui Sheng smiled, then continued walking forward, narrating everything he encountered along the way.

He was very familiar with Sky City, so familiar with it that even a small claw mark could tell when the Demon Court attacked, which demon did it, what kind of story was behind it, etc.

As Chen Yi watched and listened, his heart became calmer.

What the Demon Court has done to the human race is too numerous to list. Unless they are completely wiped out, the difficulties faced by the human race will continue.

Think of this.

Chen Yi took advantage of the break in the Second Master's introduction to ask, "I heard that Mr. Cui once broke through the encirclement of the Demon Court and went to the Taizhou Mountain Realm?"

Cui Sheng was stunned, and turned his head to look at him, his eyes flickering slightly.

"That's true. In the past, I took advantage of the massive attack by the demon court and managed to break out. Well... I should say that my real body broke out and has not returned to the human race until now."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew that Mr. Er's body was the incarnation of God's will, but he did not expect that this incarnation had continued from a hundred years ago to the present day.

No wonder Yue Ruifeng said earlier that Mr. Er had not achieved any results since he broke out.

But as far as he knew, once the distance between the original body and the incarnation of God's will exceeded a certain level, the incarnation could no longer be controlled, and the power of God's will within the incarnation would also decrease day by day.

So……

As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Cui Sheng smiled and said, "I don't know where his original body is now, but he should not be dead."

"If I hadn't relied on the demon blood cores, formations, and the noble spirit of the saints in the academy over the years, I'm afraid it would have dissipated long ago."

Chen Yi suddenly realized and sighed, "So there is such a secret. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Er." Mr. Er was so persistent, probably because he hoped to continue guarding Tianqiong City before his real body returned.

Otherwise, his divine will could simply dissipate, which might be able to make up for the loss of his original body's divine will and help him achieve something in the Taizhou Mountain realm.

"It's not hard work, I just hope to contribute." After Mr. Er finished speaking, he took the initiative to ask: "It seems that you are also trying to break through the blockade of the demon court?"

Chen Yi did not hide it and nodded, "I do have this thought, so I want to know what the situation is like in the Demon Court."

Mr. Er was not surprised. After thinking about it, he waved his hand and spread a few wisps of noble energy around him.

"When my original body broke through the siege, he had transmitted back what he saw. However, many years have passed, and I don't know much about the current situation of the Demon Court. You can use this as a reference."

It was not surprising that Mr. Er had such an idea about Chen Yi. Many people in the human race wanted to break out, but they were not strong enough or had bad luck. Instead of dying in vain, it was better to stay in the city and contribute.

So after giving a reminder, he continued, "Within 30,000 miles from Sky City, there are dense forests and swamps, many of which are arrays and traps set up by the Demon Court. In some places, there are even great demon kings hiding."

"After that is the core area of ​​the Demon Court. There are many strange rocks standing there, and on top of them are the residences of the great demon kings."

"During the war, most of the demons on the periphery left. I managed to get through the dense forest and came here before I encountered obstacles."

"There were three pillar-level demon kings left behind to guard the demon court. As soon as their real bodies arrived there, they were detected by the demonic energy deployed in the surroundings. After a fierce battle, they escaped and came to the bank of the Netherworld River."

"The Netherworld River?"

Chen Yi roughly formed the topography of the Demon Court area in his mind. It turned out that the palaces and residences of those great demon kings were built facing the Netherworld River.

I think that when Mr. Er's real body arrived at the Netherworld River, he was also hesitant - there was a big demon king chasing him from behind, and the Netherworld River blocked the way in front.

You must know that the situation in the "Netherworld River" is special. Whenever a powerful person appears there, a ghost of equal strength will appear.

Once you are entangled by them, you will be in a life-and-death situation.

Thinking about it, Chen Yi silently wrote this down. It seems that in the future Xunwangtian Dharma Assembly, he will also have to find Taoist Zhao Muzi to exchange some magic weapons or life-saving methods that can be used to cross the Netherworld River.

“Yes, Netherworld River,” Cui Sheng said with a little emotion, “The main body was able to break out, luck was more important than strength. Fortunately, he was well prepared, and with the suppression of the demons and monsters by the great spirit, he was able to break through the blockade of the demon court by chance.”

"Thank you, Mr. Er, for telling me."

"You're welcome. In fact, I have already recorded all of this and compiled it into a book, which is kept by Baishan Patriarch. If you want to read it, you can go to him anytime."

Chen Yi still bowed solemnly, "Second Master is worthy of my respect."

Cui Sheng waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "If you can really break through the blockade of the demon court in the future, don't forget to find your real body, maybe you can get some help."

"Although I have been unable to contact him over the years, I can occasionally see some fragmented images in a trance. His real body should be cultivating in a secret place at present. If he makes a breakthrough, he should return to the human race."

Chen Yi nodded, "If there is a chance, I will go find him."

That being said, the Taizhou Mountain area is too vast, and finding someone there would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Seeing that he had agreed, Cui Sheng encouraged him a few words, then took out the token representing the "pillar of the human race" and handed it to him, saying:
"Keep it well. There is a formation set up by Taoist Master Ziying on it. It can not only absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, but also resist the invasion of some demonic magic."

Chen Yi took it and was about to thank him when a golden light suddenly appeared in front of him.

[At the age of 46, you have reached the perfect state of heaven and man. You are attacked by a great supernatural being with the Shenhai Yuanci formation, and your mind is slightly affected.]

[Absorbed, counterattack points +30. ]

[Note 1: The Shenhai Yuanci Great Array is one of the ten secret arrays of the ancient Dao Court. It has unpredictable powers that can subtly influence the mind of the person in the array, making it feel like being in a mirror, a flower in the water, like a dream or a bubble.]

[Note 2: Because you have not completed your counterattack mission, your counterattack points will be converted into cultivation skills.]

Chen Yi glanced at the lines of golden characters and was stunned. The ancient Taoist secret formation, the Shenhai Yuanci formation, affects the mind?
Immediately, the maker of this token appeared in his mind—the Taoist priest Ziying, the ancestor guarding Diyan City!

is her?

Could it be that Taoist Master Ziying is also a traitor hiding in the human race and has something to do with the demon court? !
Chen Yi's eyes were wandering, and it was obvious that his mood was fluctuating.

He thought about what Taoist Ziying said today at the martial arts arena. He originally thought that he was just being temperamental.

Looking back now, every word Taoist Ziying said seemed to make sense, but it hindered the ancestors' countermeasures against the Demon Court at every turn.

If it were just these things, Chen Yi would not be suspicious of her, but the token in his hand became the biggest suspicious point.

It couldn't be that Taoist Ziying didn't like his suggestion and was secretly teaching him a lesson, right?
Mr. Cui Sheng noticed his expression and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Chen Yi came back to his senses and asked with a smile: "I wonder if all these token holders are in the martial arts arena today?"

Cui Sheng recalled for a moment and shook his head: "They are not here."

He paused, then continued, "But that's normal. They are all people like you who have the highest level of cultivation and talent in our human race. Most of the time they are in seclusion practicing, hoping to break through the realm and help the human race."

Practice, break through...

Chen Yi remained silent, staring at the token in his hand, his heart already churning like a raging storm.

If Taoist Master Ziying is the demon spy hiding within the human race, then everything seems to make sense.

After all, the formations of the human race's various fortified cities and citadels are mostly controlled by Taoist Master Ziying. With her support and protection behind the scenes, it is not difficult for the puppets of the Demon Court and the thieves within to hide.

Following this line of thought, it was not difficult for Chen Yi to determine the identity of "Bai Yuanguang" who was hiding in Renji City - perhaps he was a "pillar of the human race".

Cui Sheng, who was standing by, saw that he had fallen silent and became even more confused. He seemed to have thought of something and asked:

"Did you notice anything unusual when you made that suggestion at the martial arts arena?"

Chen Yi put away the token, his mind raced, and he shook his head, saying, "I just felt that the atmosphere was a little strange at the time. Plus, if I wanted to break through the blockade of the demon court, I had to solve the current crisis of the human race, so I said that."

As he spoke, he began to inquire about the situations of other pillars, "Second Master, if it is convenient, could you introduce me to visit other 'pillars'?"

Speculations are just speculations after all. He would not feel at ease if he did not see some things with his own eyes.

After all, that was Taoist Master Ziying. Her identity and status were second only to Patriarch Baishan. She was also the host and defender of Diyan City.

If she also set up the Shenhai Yuanci Array in Diyan City and the surrounding acropolises... the consequences would be disastrous!
