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

Chapter 374: Response! (Subscribe)
Indeed, it is true!
Mr. Er's eyes were dazed for a moment. Although there was only a thin layer of paper between his guess and the truth, he guessed that result but was still unwilling to believe it. But when he broke through the layer of paper and the truth appeared before him, the last bit of luck in his heart instantly dissipated and shattered.

Taoist Master Ziying, how dare you act like this? !

What on earth are you going to do!
Chen Yi glanced at him, knowing that Mr. Er was in a complicated mood at the moment, and smiled at Taoist Zeyang and said:
"Mr. Cui will be leaving soon to inspect various cities, and I will be the one guarding Tianqiong City on his behalf. After all, I am new here, so I want to get familiar with Tianqiong City first."

As he spoke, he glanced around and said with a little emotion: "This city is too big. Just from this core node of the formation, we can get a glimpse of it. I really don't know how the Taoist priest and the seniors have held on for so many years."

Taoist Priest Zeyang looked at him and said with a natural smile: "Daoyou is also a caring person. The importance of Tianqiong City to our human race needs no further explanation."

"Not only this formation core, but also the formation nodes on the city wall and the main control core in the general's mansion, every detail has been carefully crafted by our ancestors and cannot be neglected."

"Especially Taoist Master Ziying has made great progress in his cultivation and has brought the magic of the Qimen lineage's formation to its fullest potential. Over the years, he has made great contributions to protecting the cities of our human race. He is truly a role model for our generation."

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded with a smile and said, "I also met Elder Ziying in the martial arts arena earlier. She is truly extraordinary and always considers the interests of our human race. This is admirable."

Mr. Er came back to his senses and glanced at his expression. How could he lie like that with his eyes open?
However, after this interruption, Mr. Er finally calmed down.

Now that it has happened and they have discovered it, the rest is simple - just figure out a strategy to deal with it!

Taoist Master Zeyang nodded, looked around, and invited the two men into the palace hall and ordered someone to bring them tea.

The three of them sat at a low table, with the host and the guest facing each other.

"I wonder what you want to know? I don't have anything else here except the formation."

"Formation," Chen Yi looked straight at him and smiled, "Although I have just arrived at the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, I have encountered the attacks of the demon court several times and can see that the great formation guarding the human race is extraordinary, so I want to learn more about it."

"If there is a chance, perhaps we can use the power of the formation to kill a group of great demon kings."

Hearing him say this, Mr. Er nodded secretly. The reasons Chen Yi gave were very consistent with his identity and current situation.

Mr. Er recalled that before coming here, he had specifically told Chen Yi not to talk too much. Now thinking about it, it seemed like a waste of time.

Taoist Zeyang glanced at him and fixed his gaze on Chen Yi. "In that case, I will tell you everything I know."

After a pause, seeing that neither of them spoke, he continued:
"The great formation that guards the cities of the human race is called the 'Tian Gang Liuli Formation'. It was obtained by Taoist Master Ziying from a secret realm somewhere, and then combined with several formations that she was good at."

"I believe you have seen how powerful it is - it is enough to resist all demons below the realm of magical power."

“Even for a great demon king in the supernatural realm, it is not easy to break the formation. It requires the cooperation of several or even dozens of great demon kings to tear open a crack and allow those small demons to penetrate deeper into the city.”

Taoist Zeyang paused, and seeing that Chen Yi still showed some interest, he continued:

"In fact, this formation has a back-up plan that few people know about."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Chen Yi glanced at Mr. Er and saw that he seemed to be unaware of the situation. He smiled and asked, "I wonder what the backup plan is?"

Previously, he had only heard from Mr. Er that under the formation set up by Taoist Ziying, there was another large formation set up by the ancestors.

But it is obvious that the backup plan that Taoist Zeyang mentioned is not like this.

"The backup plan is actually at the core node of the formation that I am guarding. At that time, Ancestor Ziying told me that if I encountered an extremely critical emergency, I could destroy the talisman seal in the core of the formation."

"destroy?"

Mr. Er and Chen Yi both looked suspicious. Was this a backup plan?

Taoist Priest Zeyang nodded and said with a smile: "According to Patriarch Ziying, after doing this, the formation will be completely renewed and can show its true power."

"To be precise, the newly appeared formation can stop the great demon kings below the eighth level of magical power, and even pillars like Lu Chen can resist it."

"If they penetrate deep into the city, we can use the formation to trap them here. Then, we can surround and kill them."

Hearing this, Chen Yi and Mr. Er looked at each other, and the same thought popped up in their minds - is this a trick?
Even if there really is such a so-called back-up plan, it should not be to destroy the original formation first and then reveal a new one.

After all, it takes time to activate the formation, and the battlefield changes rapidly. What if all the monsters are trapped inside? Wouldn’t both sides have to fight to the death? Whoever survives to the end can leave the formation?

Thinking of this, Chen Yi secretly transmitted his voice: "Second Master, it seems that this is what Taoist Master Ziying planned."

Cui Sheng nodded secretly and replied in a voice transmission: "I think so too, but I don't know what Ziying's purpose is."

He had been on the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain for many years. Although he had little contact with Taoist Master Ziying, he knew her personality well.

Over the years, Taoist Master Ziying has indeed made many contributions to the human race, otherwise she would not be put in charge of Diyan City.

But judging from all the signs today, it seems that he has never really seen Taoist Master Ziying, or rather, what he has seen all along are illusions, which are the surface that Taoist Master Ziying deliberately uses to confuse them.

"I want to know, too, but we can't disturb Taoist Master Ziying right now. Besides, Taoist Master Zeyang in front of us obviously doesn't know."

Chen Yi thought to himself that the power of that damn Shenhai Yuan magnetic array was indeed terrifying.

Judging from Taoist Master Zeyang's words and actions alone, there is no sign of being manipulated on his part.

But as long as Ziying was involved, Taoist Zeyang seemed like a different person. Not only was he very attentive, he also said a lot of good things about her.

Chen Yi simply didn't believe it was not intentional.

While the two of them were secretly communicating with each other, neither of them showed any sign of abnormality. After communicating with Taoist Master Zeyang for a moment, they stood up and left.

After the two of them left.

The smile on Taoist Zeyang's face slowly faded, and he walked back to the palace slowly as if in a daze.

He stared at the empty palace with lifeless eyes, his mouth slightly opening and closing as he muttered:

"They came and didn't say anything special."

"That fellow Daoist Chen Yi is very young, but he is very concerned about the affairs of the human race. He wants to learn about the situation of the core node of the Tianqiong City formation."

"That's right. I have only told them some superficial contents."

"..."

After a long time, Taoist Zeyang's face regained its calmness. He looked around, then stood up and walked towards the training ground.

"I'm stunned again. Oh, I'm getting old. I just had a good chat with Taoist Chen Yi. This rising star is not bad."

"Not only is his talent, cultivation and magical powers profound, but his speech and behavior are also in line with this world. He should have reached the upper stage of the heavenly realm, and he is still so young... I should also work hard on my cultivation."

Leave this palace.

Chen Yi and Mr. Er walked towards the general's mansion calmly, communicating with each other as they walked.

"Now it seems that Taoist Ziying intends to destroy all human beings." Mr. Er felt very complicated and puzzled. He couldn't figure out why Taoist Ziying did these things.

In terms of identity, Taoist Ziying is one of the eight ancestors of the human race. He is the lord of Diyan City and is in charge of ten surrounding citadels.

At the same time, her cultivation, talent, and supernatural powers are not weak, and the strange formation she practices does not require the help of the Demon Court.

Why would she want to destroy the human race? Chen Yi certainly couldn't figure it out, but he knew one thing - they didn't have much time left.

If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, I am afraid that the Demon Court and Taoist Ziying will soon join forces to attack.

The reason is simple—the Demon Emperor Fengyue!
For the Demon Court on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield today, the several attacks led by the Barbarian King all ended in bad results, and they also suffered heavy losses. If the Fengyue Demon King appears to compete with them, then it will be impossible for it to attack the human race again.

But for Taoist Master Ziying, the key point lies in Mr. Er.

If Chen Yi had not suggested that Mr. Er inspect each city in the martial arts arena earlier, Taoist Ziying might have delayed for some time.

But now there is a risk of being exposed. If anyone were to think in their own way, they would definitely unleash all the previous arrangements before Mr. Er comes to inspect.

"Does Mr. Er have any good ideas?"

"No." Second Master Cui Sheng smiled bitterly and said in a voice transmission: "At present, there are fourteen 'pillars of the human race' who are openly controlled by Taoist Ziying, and we don't know how many are secretly controlled."

"If the worst-case scenario comes to pass, I'm afraid that one-third of the powerful humans will have their minds controlled by her, and there are still people who may be loyal to her."

"Under this situation, if we don't think of a safe solution, I'm afraid the human race will be wiped out in an instant."

Chen Yi was aware of this, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "In fact, those who were controlled by Taoist Master Ziying are not without a way to escape."

Mr. Er was shocked. "Oh? What method?"

"Let's go back to Mr. Cui's residence first. Our strength alone is not enough. I'm afraid we need the help of the ancestors Bai Shan and Hong Tian."

"it is good……"

However, to be on the safe side, Chen Yi felt that he should not contact the ancestors around Diyan City, such as the Buddhist ancestor "Foyin" and another ancestor who came from an evil sect.

They all happened to be within the range of Diyan City and the surrounding Acropolis. If they were in cahoots with Taoist Ziying, the consequences would be disastrous.

While transmitting the message, they were also chatting.

"Second Master, you should be careful when you go to various cities to investigate those thieves hiding in the human race."

"Oh? Did you find anything, little friend?"

"I can't say I discovered anything. I just think Qiu Yangming is just a pawn placed outside. The real mastermind behind the scenes is still that 'Bai Yuanguang'."

"My friend, your guess is the same as mine..."

At this time they could only be extremely careful and guard against those who might belong to Taoist Ziying hiding around them.

……

Inside Diyan City.

In a very simple Taoist temple, Taoist Master Ziying had his eyes slightly closed, his cold face full of solemnity.

At the same time, there were talismans and seals circling around her, as if they were controlling something.

However, after a moment, Taoist Ziying frowned slightly and opened his eyes.

"The mind connection was lost?"

"Does Chen Yi really have a magical weapon or a similar treasure that can block mental attacks?"

Taoist Master Ziying calculated with his fingers for a while, his eyes flickering, but he still couldn't see through it.

It was as if there was a mountain or sea of ​​fog in front of her eyes, making it impossible for her to see Chen Yi's background. She could only see a hazy, towering and huge shadow.

After a while.

Taoist Master Ziying paused, a sneer flashed across his face: "He's a tough guy."

She originally thought that the other fourteen "pillars of the human race" were unable to sense the Shenhai Yuanci Array and were controlled by it, but she did not expect that Chen Yi had no reaction at all.

"I don't know if he has noticed the existence of the formation."

Taoist Master Ziying thought for a moment and shook his head: "It should be none. The Shenhai Yuanci formation only has some fluctuations. There are other formations hidden outside. How could Chen Yi, a sword cultivator, discover them?"

She is very confident in her own strange formation. It is her magical power and her principle.

If she doesn't even have this little bit of confidence, then she doesn't need to make so many plans.

Think about this.

Taoist Master Ziying clasped her hands together and her mind drifted away. In an instant, thousands of thoughts came to her.

"Everyone, get ready to create a grand event together..."

……

Tianqiong City, General’s Mansion.

Chen Yi and Mr. Er sat opposite each other, both looking somewhat solemn.

In the middle of them was a map of standard human fortified cities and citadels.

There are also several symbols drawn on it with an ink pen.

The larger ones represent the fourteen "pillars of humanity", while the smaller ones are the generals and powerful men of each city.

"There are a total of 1,320 powerful people..." Mr. Er looked at the mark on the map and asked in a low voice:
"You think it's possible for her to manipulate so many people at once?"

Chen Yi nodded. "According to the power of the formation, she, the one who arranged it, can indeed do this. After all, it is just a subtle influence on their minds."

"I think this period of time must be very long, otherwise Taoist Master Ziying wouldn't have spent so much time on the layout."

Mr. Er sighed, "I haven't heard of the Shenhai Yuanci Array. Let's talk about it later after Bai Shan arrives."

Before he finished speaking, a figure quietly appeared beside them.

"Cui Sheng, what are you doing here in such a hurry? And why are you so secretive and asking me not to alert others?"

Bai Shan saw Chen Yi standing beside him, glanced at the map on the table, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Chen Yi looked at the Second Master and shook his head, "You should tell me. After all, I have just arrived at the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, so I can't explain many things clearly."

Mr. Er did not refuse. As the matter was urgent, he immediately told Bai Shan about his recent discovery and his and Chen Yi's speculations.

As he spoke, the expression of the White Mountain Patriarch first became solemn, then livid, and furious:

"She, how could she be so bold?!"

"Brother Baishan, now is not the time to worry about this. We should think about how to solve this problem, otherwise..."
