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

Chapter 89 The Big Brother on the Earth Ranking (Subscription Request)

During the cold winter months, life in Kyoto Prefecture was better than in previous years.

Except for the snow a few days ago, which made Changle and Yongnian counties all covered in silver, the imperial city inside and outside remained as grand and upright as ever.

For the almighty Emperor Wei, the best years were when there were no natural disasters or man-made calamities in the provinces and no wars on the borders.

Especially if the demon court in the Ten Thousand Mountains outside Beixiong Pass does not move south to block the pass, the fortune of the entire Wei Dynasty will only prosper.

Even during the daily morning court sessions, there were not so many troublesome things that made Emperor Wei worried.

"If you have something to say, come forward," Liu Gao shouted at the top of his voice, standing at the steps outside the dragon throne. "If you have nothing to say, leave the court!"

"I have something to say."

The civil officials took the lead, and the left minister Xie Jing stepped sideways and stepped out of the line, bowing with a serious expression and saying:
"The day before yesterday, there was a demon causing chaos in Jiangnan Prefecture. It was caused by the evil demons such as the God Worship Sect."

"I request that His Majesty purge the martial arts sects from today onwards to set things right!"

The Emperor of Wei was high above, wearing a purple and gold dragon robe and a tripod crown on his head. He looked at the silent ministers on both sides and couldn't help but laugh.

The Worship of God Sect is the Worship of God Sect, and the Jianghu Sect is the Jianghu Sect.

Xie Jing played some word games in her conversation, which made him want to see the reactions of others.

"Tell me, what do you think of what Prime Minister Xie said?"

As soon as he finished speaking, most of the civil officials came out and echoed Xie Jing's memorial, requesting the court to send troops to purge the martial arts sects in order to enhance the majesty of the Wei Dynasty.

However, there were also several marquises and dukes who expressed opposing views, especially Du Qing, King of Zhenbei, and Ye Jiahong, King of Zhennan, who were the most vocal.

"The sect and the evil heresy cannot be confused. I cannot agree with what Prime Minister Xie said!"

Du Qing snorted, "You should know that in previous years when there were wars outside Beixiong Pass, many disciples of the sect came to support them. How can you target all the sects just because of the Baishen Sect?"

"What's more, nowadays, all the officials in the court have descendants studying in the sects. If they are against the sects..."

At this point, Du Qing paused, looked at the civil officials, and then came to his senses, and changed the subject:

"If the holy places of the academy, the Buddhist temples, the Southern Barbarian Sect, etc. are all included in the list of sects, I have no objection."

Haha, no wonder the civil officials are so keen on suppressing the sects and holy places. It turns out that their descendants are all in the academy.

Especially since the founding of Xingwu Academy, the children of nobles in the past two years have been the same as the first batch.

After the descendants of the civil officials finished their studies, they went directly to the holy places of several universities. The military nobles and aristocratic families all chose the holy places of their sects.

Simply put, the Left Prime Minister Xie Jing wanted to clean up the martial arts sects in order to suppress the military generals.

Its heart is awkward!

The Prince of Zhennan Gongye Jiahong standing next to him also understood this and stepped out immediately.

"I second the proposal."

A number of military marquises and dukes also echoed the sentiment.

As long as the civil officials said they wanted to rectify the sect, the military generals would insist that the academy was also the sect's holy place.

In just a stick of incense's time, the entire hall became a bustling market with stalls from the East and West Markets.

It was indeed a good show for the Emperor Wei, who was sitting at the top.

However, seeing that the situation was getting out of control, he glanced at Liu Gao, and Eunuch Liu stepped forward and said, "Silence!"

Emperor Wei then smiled and said, "It's good to have controversy. It means that this matter needs further observation."

"But what the King of Zhenbei just said is very much in line with my opinion. There are good and bad sects in the martial arts world, and they really cannot be mixed up."

Without waiting for the officials in the palace to speak up, Emperor Wei continued, "As for whether the sacred place of the academy is a sect, it's very simple."

"I heard that there are several people on the "Tianjiao List" that has been widely circulated in the martial arts world recently who are from the academy."

"In this case, I think those sacred places of academies should also be classified as sects."

"Xie Xiang, what do you think?"

Xie Jing, dressed in official uniform, was silent for a moment, bowed and retreated among the civil officials, not mentioning the matter of rectifying the sect.

The other civil officials looked at each other and kept silent.

The emperor has spoken, and if they say anything more, if they really want to suppress the martial arts sects, the several schools will not be spared.

By that time, they would probably have become the target of criticism from Confucian scholars.

When Emperor Wei saw this, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Since we are talking about this, I have some good news to share with you."

As he spoke, he signaled Liu Gao to pass the "Tianjiao List" he had obtained earlier to the ministers in the hall.

But it was only the one with a bright silver cover - The Heavenly Prodigies List and the Earthly Prodigies List.

Du Qing took it and looked at it for a few seconds. He calmly turned to the first page and was startled.

He stared at the golden characters on the first page and muttered:
"Little Sword Immortal, Chen Yi."

"He is from Kyoto Prefecture. His father is Chen Taiping, Marquis of Wu'an."

"The Taixu Dao Sect, the descendant of Jianfeng Mountain, learned from Li Qingzhou and practiced the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gang Jue."

"The 38th year of Yonghe, the twelfth month."

"Chen Yi fought alone against the "crazy old man" in Jiangnan Prefecture. With only the seventh-grade Huayuan realm cultivation, he defeated him with the help of the Dacheng sword art and the perfect realm killing sword intent."

"In this battle, Chen Yi also killed Wen Renhong, the head of the God Worshiping Sect, and a fourth-grade spiritual acupoint blood-scale monster with one sword."

Until the end, Du Qing saw a comment.

"One sword strikes, and the whole world knows it—Little Sword Immortal, Chen Yi!"

Not only that, after the comments, there is also a portrait of Chen Yi painted by a famous artist.

The young man held the sword in one hand, with a lofty sword intent and a cold expression. Behind him was the corpse of a blood-scale monster.

"This, the Son of Peace..."

Du Qing was silent for a moment until Liu Gao reminded him. Then he quickly flipped through the last few pages and handed the book to the Prince of Zhennan next to him.

But my heart couldn't calm down for a long time, and there was still a hint of regret.

"I was also confused. Why didn't I write to Taiping in the first place? I let Lin Hansong get there first."

At the beginning, Du Qing first asked his wife to go to Wu'an Hou, wanting to arrange a marriage between Du Yan and Chen Yi.

As a result, Chen Taiping received a letter from Beixiongguan, and was more inclined to Lin Xueru, the daughter of Lin Hansong, Duke of Xing.

Looking back now, Du Qing feels extremely regretful.

Gongye Jiahong beside him was much calmer. After reading it, he understood the Emperor Wei's intention and immediately bowed to Lin Hansong and said:
"Duke Xing, congratulations."

Lin Hansong looked at him with a cold expression, and then saw that the people who had seen the Tianjiao List also congratulated him, and he felt a little suspicious.

And when he saw the names on the list with his own eyes, he finally understood the reason.

Lin Hansong looked at the name of Chen Yi, who was ranked first on the list of geniuses, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he did not return the greeting. Instead, he turned to congratulate Chen Lide from the Wu'an Marquis family.

"Marquis Wu'an gave birth to a good son, haha."

After these words were spoken, an outline of the situation almost emerged in the minds of all the people in the hall.

The son of Wu'an Marquis Chen Taiping is related to Xingguo Duke Lin Hansong, so that means...

Chen Yi!
Chen Lide also had some guesses, but he couldn't show them. It was only after he saw the list that he started laughing.

"Yier, spreading the name of our Chen family is a blessing for Kyoto Prefecture and even more so for the Wei Dynasty."

"well said!"

After hearing this, Emperor Wei stood up, held his head high and said with a smile:

"Chen Yi, the son of Marquis Wu'an, killed the evil demons with his unparalleled strength, and he should be a role model for the young people of the Great Wei."

As he spoke, he gestured to Liu Gao and said, "Pass the decree. For the good parenting of her children, Xia Wanwan, wife of Wu'an Marquis Chen Taiping, shall be rewarded..."

Seeing how happy he was, his ministers refused to try to bring bad luck to him.

Even the Left Prime Minister Xie Jing, who had previously advocated the rectification of the martial arts sects, fell completely silent after looking at the list of geniuses.

At that time, the Wei Dynasty did need to rely on martial arts to develop the country.

However, allowing the martial arts world to grow and the sects to develop will not last long, and there must always be certain restrictions.

Who knows, in the end, the holy land of the academy will also become a sect!
……

In a short while, what happened in the court spread throughout Kyoto at an extremely fast speed.

Let the people in the streets and alleys recall what happened at Xingwu Academy two years ago.

The name of "Little Sword Immortal" Chen Yi once again spread in Kyoto Prefecture.

In the Marquis Wu'an's mansion, when Xia Wanwan received the imperial edict, her face showed mixed joy and worry.

People are happy about Chen Yi's current achievements, but also worried about his involvement in the world at such a young age.

I am even more worried that if he becomes famous so early, he will get into trouble in the future.

"Sister Wanwan, be happy."

Zhou Wanyi watched the announcement process calmly and comforted him, "Yier is now extremely powerful. I believe he will achieve extraordinary things in the future."

"Wanyi is right," Old Madam Chen also showed a smile on her face: "Yier has such talent, it is a blessing for the Chen family, we should be happy."

"Besides, the emperor's reward is only one of the things. I can't treat you unfairly here either."

Xia Wanwan quickly bowed, and after expressing her gratitude, she also smiled.

"Don't just stand there. Taiping is not here, and we are still at home."

"Be faithful and virtuous. Get ready and open the ancestral temple. Let all our ancestors be happy with this good news."

Following the old lady's words, the entire Chen family, both the main branch and the side branches, began to move.

After working for most of the day, Xia Wanwan returned to Fanghua Garden, with Luluo by her side.

"Madam, Yi'er is amazing now."

"I went to the East Market to do some shopping earlier, and the shop owners were much more enthusiastic than usual when they saw me."

Xia Wanwan was still delighted as she ordered, "Go get some paper and pen. I want to tell my husband this news." "And that new dress needs to be made. Now that I know what Yi'er looks like from the list of prodigies, I can just make a new one in the right size."

"besides……"

What Xia Wanwan didn't notice was that the small jade sword on her wrist seemed to know what she was doing and began to swing angrily.

Xiao Yujian: No more, no more, being a bad guy is not worth it!

……

The closer Jeju Prefecture knew about the happenings in Gangnam Prefecture earlier.

As a holy place for martial arts sects, Taixu Taoist Sect received the news as soon as the incident happened.

Especially Taixu Peak which serves as the main vein.

The disciples of Taixu Dao on the peak knew almost everything about the attack by the evil demons in Jiangnan Prefecture, as well as the details of how Zhan Hongxiu, Chen Yi and others responded.

This naturally includes Xiao Xuanzhen, the true disciple of Taixu Taoism.

However, after she learned that Chen Yi killed the "crazy old man" and the leader of the Baishen Sect with one sword, she was stunned for a long time.

"'Little Sword Fairy' has come true."

"First he was the 'Little Sword Immortal' of Kyoto Prefecture, then he was the 'Little Sword Immortal' of Taixu Dao Sect, and now he is even more famous in the martial arts world, known to everyone in the world."

Xiao Xuanzhen recalled that when Chen Yi came to become his disciple, it had only been two years, but his sword skills had reached perfection.

But it was because of this that she was stunned and felt a little ashamed.

"That bad guy obviously has such strong sword skills, but he didn't even show it when fighting with me."

"I understand. He must be afraid that after he uses his full strength, I won't dare to challenge him again."

"impossible!"

"Humph, so what if I have perfected the way of swordsmanship and the perfection of sword intent? When I have perfected the Eight Methods of Taixu, I will definitely be more powerful than him by then."

Xiao Xuanzhen subconsciously ignored the fact that as her strength improved, Chen Yi's swordsmanship would also improve.

She was only thinking about getting back at this ace and making Chen Yi taste the taste of failure.

"And Xiao Xueru."

Xiao Xuanzhen felt even angrier when he thought of Lin Xueru, who obediently followed Chen Yi's orders, never left the house, and only thought about practicing.

Cultivation is for one’s own sake. Who would cultivate because someone else tells them to?

Thinking of this, she immediately went out to a secluded martial arts field not far away and found Lin Xueru who was practicing the Taixu Eight Methods.

The little girl's body was as fast as the wind. When she moved, Kun Rou Fa, Kan Shui Fa and Dui Ze Fa coordinated with each other. She seemed as weak as water, but in fact, her momentum was continuous. She had her own unique understanding.

Xiao Xuan knew this very well.

Compared to the fierce Zhen Lei and Qian Yuan methods that she is good at, Lin Xueru prefers the softer Kun Rou and Kan Shui methods.

After all, practitioners of Taixu's Eight Methods will also have different emphases based on each person's choices.

The same is true for her old man Xiao Huang and Gu Tiangang.

"Sister Xiao, when did you come?"

Lin Xueru finished her practice, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked with a smile.

"I just came here not long ago."

Xiao Xuanzhen looked at her and guessed that she probably hadn't received any news from the outside world yet. He couldn't help but smile and said:
"Junior Sister Lin, martial arts requires a balance between tension and relaxation. Practicing every day is good, but you also need to make sure you rest."

"Why don't you take me to other peaks? You've been to Taixu Peak for so long, but you've only been to Jianfeng Mountain. The other peaks also have nice views."

Lin Xueru cautiously kept a certain distance from her and said with a smile: "No need, Senior Sister, Brother Yi should be back in the mountains soon."

"When he comes back, I want him to see that I have improved my martial arts."

Although she didn't quite understand what Chen Yi meant by "silly", she remembered to keep her distance from Xiao Xuanzhen.

When Xiao Xuanzhen heard her say this, he secretly cursed Chen Yi for being so good at deceiving Junior Sister Lin.

But since Lin Xueru didn't want to go, she didn't force her and just stayed here and talked about other things.

For example, during the days when Chen Yi was in Jianfeng Mountain, he got along quite well with his senior and junior sisters.

For example, Chen Yi must be very free and easy after he comes down the mountain, and he will meet all kinds of chivalrous people.

Or what if Chen Yi doesn't want to come back...

"Will not!"

Lin Xueru looked serious, even a little solemn as she looked at Xiao Xuanzhen and said:
"Brother Yi, I will definitely come back."

"..."

Xiao Xuan was speechless, but he had a rough idea of ​​her bottom line.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he saw two people running over from a distance - Du Yanqing and Du Yan, both of whom were also on good terms with the bad guys.

Before Xiao Xuanzhen could speak, Du Yan waved a silver book in her hand and shouted from afar:

"Ruru, come quickly, there is news about Brother Yi!"

"ah!"

Lin Xueru's face lit up with joy, and she hurried over, using the Kunrou Step extravagantly.

This made Xiao Xuanzhen feel a little uncomfortable.

However, when she saw the book in Du Yan's hand, she felt it looked familiar.

After thinking carefully, she remembered that it was the "Heavenly Pride List and Earthly Pride List" that she had seen before.

If I remember correctly, when she first saw that she was only ranked tenth, she almost tore up the booklet out of anger.

Later, she also gave an order, forbidding the brothers who were going down the mountain to bring such flashy things back to the mountain.

I didn't expect to see the "Tianjiao List" here again.

Could it be that?
The three people over there had no idea what Xiao Xuanzhen was thinking. They gathered in front of the booklet, opened the first page, and read it carefully.

In a moment, Lin Xueru's face was filled with joy.

"No. 1 on the Tianjiao list, Brother Yi, you are so awesome!"

"Yes, Brother Yi is really impressive when he comes down the mountain this time." Du Yanqing also said with emotion.

"Of course, Brother Yi has mastered the sword art and has perfected his sword intentions."

Du Yan poked him and said unhappily, "It's much better than that guy who doesn't strive for progress!"

Du Yanqing begged for mercy again and again: "Save some face for me."

"Really? Then tell me, with so many big things happening these days, what did you do at Taixu Peak?"

"I, I, it's all Yongnian's fault. He asked me to help forge..."

After hearing the conversation between Lin Xueru and the other two, Xiao Xuanzhen paused and couldn't help but stand up and move closer.

"Little Sword Immortal, Chen Yi... Once he strikes out with his sword, the whole world will know..."

Xiao Xuanzhen stood there in a daze, with only one thought lingering in his mind.

Now, the bad guy is really famous.

And her ranking also dropped out of the top ten...

Lin Xueru didn't know what she was thinking, and asked innocently, "Senior Sister Xiao, my brother Yi is ranked first on the Tianjiao list. Isn't that amazing?"

Xiao Xuanzhen came back to his senses, immediately raised his head and walked out.

“It’s just so-so.”

"And to be precise, Chen Yi is not the first on the Tianjiao list, he is only the first on the Dili list."

"There's also a Heavenly Ranking above!"

That’s right, that bad guy Chen Yi is only number one on the Earth List.

Sooner or later, she will be ranked first on the Tianjiao Ranking and make him bow down to her!
After Xiao Xuanzhen left, Lin Xueru and the other two looked at each other and started laughing.

"Brother Yi is so amazing. Being number one on the Earth Ranking is also amazing."

"Yeah yeah……"

……

At this time, Chen Yi, who was described as very powerful by Lin Xueru, had just left the territory of Jiangnan Prefecture with Zhan Hongxiu and others.

When they passed a post station, they stopped to rest.

No one knew where Sun Zhengqiu came from, but he suddenly had two copies of the Tianjiao List in his hands and ran over excitedly.

"Junior brother, you have made it onto the Tianjiao Ranking!"

This shout was not a big deal, as everyone in the post station looked at him.

There was nothing they could do. Without even checking, they simply replenished their food and water and hurriedly set off on their journey.

Relying on his highest status and strength, Zhan Hongxiu grabbed the first viewing seat.

Of course, she looked at the Heavenly Ranking first.

"Tenth on the Heavenly Ranking, Tyrant Sword, Zhan Hongxiu!"

Seeing that her ranking had improved, Zhan Hongxiu felt much more relaxed. She flipped through the list with a look of joy that did not show on her face.

After just a glance, she threw the book with a silver cover to Chen Yi.

"There's nothing to see here, so we might as well hurry back to Jianfeng Mountain!"

Chen Yi took it suspiciously, turned to the first page, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Hahahaha, the number one on the Tianjiao List and Di Ranking is Chen Yi.

Zhan Hongxiu saw his expression and couldn't help but muffled and said, "Junior Brother Chen, there is a higher realm above the great perfection of swordsmanship."

"After we return to the mountain, Senior Sister will definitely teach you well on behalf of Master..."
