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

Chapter 353: Urgent Mission! (Subscribe)

Cunning bastard?

Chen Yi laughed in silence and said, "What Fengyue Demon Emperor said makes sense."
[Hahaha! ]
After hearing this, Qingfeng and Jianchi couldn't stop laughing. Countless "Ha"s appeared above the dark blue water mirror, almost drowning this virtual world.

[That makes sense, Chen Er, what do you think?]
Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and said: [Isn’t this the highest praise given to me by Fengyue Demon Emperor?]
This is like two forces entering into a contract, in which whoever has the upper hand will inevitably be despised by the disadvantaged party.

Therefore, as long as the final result is beneficial, it doesn’t matter if I get scolded by Fengyue Demon King.

As he spoke, Chen Yi looked at the embarrassed half-demon princess and said with a smile:

[Please go back and tell Demon Emperor Fengyue that I have seen her demeanor as the emperor of the Demon Court.]
Xiaolan nodded, her expression relaxed and she said: [I will go back right away.]
[No hurry, no hurry,] Chen Yi quickly stopped her and said, [Since Fengyue Demon King has agreed to my conditions, then I will take the follow-up plan back with me.]
Xiaolan thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "You said before that you were going to the Taizhou Mountain Demon Court to investigate the matter of the Barbarian King?"
Chen Yi nodded and said: [I will do this, but what I want to talk about is what your mother, the Fengyue Demon Queen, plans?]
[Does she want to confront the Barbarian Emperor head-on, or does she intend to act secretly and dismantle the Barbarian Emperor's demon court from within?]
[Well, I, I don’t know.] The half-demon princess’ tail shook unconsciously a few times, and she said embarrassedly:

[My mother didn’t tell me this, but if you have any ideas, I can tell her.]
She did feel ashamed.

Compared with Fengyue Demon Emperor and Chen Yi, he knew nothing about the situation in the Demon Court or the plight of humans and demons. He didn't have a clear idea and couldn't make any suggestions.

Chen Yi did not embarrass her, and shook his head secretly, saying: [Then tell the Fengyue Demon King that I need her to find a few... no, at least one demon that she trusts in the Taizhou Mountain Demon Court.]
If he wanted to go deep into the Demon Court of Mount Taizhou to investigate the Barbarian King, he must have an insider.

Just like when he went to the Shiwan Mountains, it was with the presence of Xiaolan, the Princess of the Demon Court, that he was able to explore the terrain and the distribution of various demon villages, as well as the information of some great demon kings.

If there is no trustworthy demon to act as an insider this time, then if he rashly goes deep into the Taizhou Mountain Demon Court, the level of danger will increase sharply.

After experiencing an attack from the Shadow Demon, Chen Yi had long since put away his contempt for monsters.

Even if he severely damaged the demons in Renji City this time, he would not think that there were no powerful demons in the Demon Court that could suppress or even kill him.

[An insider? Oh, I will tell my mother.] The half-demon princess obviously thought of what she had done before, and asked shyly: [Anything else?]
Chen Yi continued: [The second point is to let her think clearly in advance about what I and my Taizhou Mountain people need to do. I think she should understand that the Taizhou Mountain Demon Court is no longer a behemoth that she can face alone.]
[If she is not sure about the next direction, then the human race will take charge of the follow-up. Do you understand?]
Xiaolan nodded, not quite understanding, "I, I will tell my mother everything word for word."
Qingfeng and Jianchi looked at each other and shook their heads, thinking that Xiaolan was still too immature in front of Chen Yi.

But it is also true that one is a world-famous genius, while the other is still a little half-demon who has stayed in the Demon King's Palace and has never seen the world.

Comparing the two of them is unfair to Xiaolan.

Chen Yi didn't know what they were thinking, so he continued: [The last one is the passage leading to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield. Xun Wangtian and the others are all aware of this. The difference only depends on the purpose of the Demon King.]
[Purpose?]
Seeing Xiaolan's confusion, Chen Yi explained: [There are five passages from Tianyuan Continent to Taizhou Mountain, three of which are located behind the strong cities of the human race. Only the passage to Luofu Mountain goes to the foot of Taizhou Mountain. If the Fengyue Demon Emperor wants to sneak into the Demon Court through the human race, she will follow her.]
If the Fengyue Demon Emperor makes this choice, it means that the situation within the Demon Court is not optimistic.

After all, for a demon court emperor like her, choosing to entrust her safety to the human race is not a waste of time and effort, even if it means enduring humiliation and living in seclusion.

Xiaolan looked at the lines of golden characters above, read them carefully several times, and memorized them in her mind, "I remember them."
[That’s all I have to say. When she has thought it through, please tell me.]
After saying this, Chen Yi saw the half-demon princess nod repeatedly and then leave the dark blue water mirror.

Qing Feng glanced at him: [I didn't realize, Chen Er, that you are not only gifted in swordsmanship, but also have a sharp mind.]
[It seems I have to be more careful with you in the future, so as to avoid being sold out by you and having to count my blood cores for you.]
Chen Yi smiled and said: [I just know more about the situation of the demon court and the human race than Xiaolan.]
[Knowing more is one thing, being able to judge the situation is another, and being able to take advantage of others is another. Especially for a being like Fengyue Demon King, character, skills, brains, and strength are all indispensable.] Qingfeng raised his head and said:
[Don’t try to refute me. These are what my two senior brothers taught me a long time ago.]
Sword Maniac also echoed: [Sister Qingfeng is right. If it were me, even if I knew that there were two emperors in the Demon Court, I would only choose to pass this news to the ancestors of the human race. There is no way I would go to negotiate with the Fengyue Demon Emperor alone.]
[The key point is that you, Brother Yi, used the Barbarian Emperor to threaten the Wind Moon Demon Emperor. This alone is something that ordinary people cannot think of or do.]
Before Chen Yi could speak modestly, Qing Feng asked: "Sword Maniac, do you know the difference between you and Chen Er?"
[Mind, means?]
[Wrong, you are lacking in strength, stupid.] Qing Feng put his hands on his waist, pointed at him and said:
[So after you got the news, you chose to seek help from the elders as soon as possible, instead of handling it yourself like Chen Er did and making the ancestors proud.]
[So that's how it is. I understand.] The sword maniac said dejectedly: [My swordsmanship is far inferior to Brother Yi'er's.]
Hearing this, Chen Yi walked to the side of the two, glared at Qing Feng, and said comfortingly:
[Don't listen to her. A cultivator should forge ahead courageously. It is the right way to improve your cultivation and skills.]
[For someone like me who is entangled in the secular world, I have no choice but to do so. Only by resolving those troubles can I travel light and go forward.]
Chen Yi's words were not just a way of comforting him, they were indeed his true thoughts.

In the final analysis, he did all this just to be able to enter and exit Taizhou Mountain and the human race's fortified city freely.

Just like he did when he left Tianyuan Continent, he was worried that after breaking through the Demon Court alone, those great demon kings would become desperate and launch a more fierce attack on the human race.

This is because those great demon kings would be worried that he would bring reinforcements from within the Taizhou Mountain area, exposing the Demon Court to attacks from both sides.

Generals who have studied military tactics know that in this situation, the best option is to eliminate the weaker party first.

[That’s true. If you don’t deal with the Demon Court, it will be difficult for you to come to the secret realm and join us.] The sword maniac said with understanding.

Qing Feng curled his lips and said: [When the time comes, I will ask Senior Brother to help, and see if that damn demon court dares to stop me.]
That being said.

However, Chen Yi understood that if powerful beings like Zhao Muzi recognized the human race of Tianyuan Continent, they would have rescued them long ago. Why had they been trapped in the Demon Court for a thousand years?

Fortunately, he was very clear about the principle that a blacksmith must be strong himself, so he had no intention of asking Xun Wangtian for help for the time being.

The sword maniac nodded in agreement: [Sister Qingfeng is right. With Taoist Master Zhao Muzi taking action, few people in the Taizhou Mountain realm dare to stop us.]
[Even my master had warned several of my fellow brothers before, telling them to be low-key and cautious when they met the Taoist priests of Xun Wangtian.]
[Oh? Sword Master really said that?] Qing Feng said with a smile: [He really knows how to talk, I love to listen.]
The sword maniac held the small sword in his hand and said: [Of course it is true. When I joined Xunwangtian, I didn’t know much about this place. I just thought it was one of the most ancient realms in Taizhou Mountain.]
[Now I know that in the eyes of outsiders, Xunwangtian is a transcendent realm that is no less than the "Pure Land of Bliss", and even Jiandaotian dare not offend it.]
[But then again, we, Xunwangtian, are not interested in fighting with others. It is unwise for outsiders to offend us.]
Qing Feng snorted: [I wish someone would come and provoke me, so that I can openly ask them for blood cores.]
[......]
Chen Yi burst out laughing. Qingfeng really is the kind of person who values ​​money over his life.

[I have something else to do and I’m leaving now. I’ll wait for Xiaolan’s reply. Sister Qingfeng, please notify me later.]
[Let’s go, let’s go. I’m just going to go back and ask my senior brother about the next Xunwangtian Dharma Assembly.]
Qingfeng still remembered that Chen Yi had received a large gift from the Fengyue Demon King. There were so many blood cores that she was really envious.

It didn't take long.

Chen Yi walked out of the room and wandered slowly in Renji City, looking very relaxed, as if he wanted to be noticed.

Even if he sees someone or something that interests him, he will stop and take a look.

After only walking around for half an hour, he discovered a few people who had escaped the net.

[At the age of 2, you have just entered the Heavenly Realm. You use the "Mask of Delusion Breaking" to see through the divine incarnation of the fifth-level divine power bone demon, which is covered by the divine power Painted Skin. Reward: Counterattack Points +.]

[You used the "Mask of Delusion Breaking" to see through the wooden puppet that the wood demon of the seventh level of magical power transformed into with magical power. Reward: Counterattack Points +5.]

【…】

[Because your counterattack mission has not been completed, the counterattack points you received will be converted into cultivation. ]

Chen Yi silently recorded their identities and appearances, and continued to stroll around this fortified city that had been built for thousands of years.

Although it was already night, the city was still bustling with people.

Except for the soldiers guarding the city walls, the soldiers who were on leave did not go out to rest. Instead, they gathered with a few friends in taverns and streets, chatting and laughing.

"Today's battle was really exciting and enjoyable."

"Haha, that's right. When I think of those demons fleeing in panic, I feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction in my heart."

"That sword master is truly terrifying. He killed hundreds of thousands of demons with one sword, which really boosted the power of our human race."

"Well, I have been in Renji City for many years. It's not like I haven't experienced similar battles, and it's not like I haven't seen those powerful sword cultivators, but none of them is like today."

"His name is Chen Yi?"

"That's the name. Didn't you hear about it from the colleagues who just came over from Tianyuan Continent? Chen Yi, the Marquis of Wei Chaoying, is a swordsman in the supernatural realm of Taixu Dao Sect, known as the 'Blue Dragon Sword Immortal'!"

"Oh, yes. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about the blue dragon shadow that appeared in the night sky today."

"I originally thought it was the divine power and will of some powerful being, but I didn't expect it to be the ancient mythical beast Azure Dragon."

"Yes, the ancient beasts are standing with us humans, so why should we worry about breaking the siege of the demon court?"

"I really hope that one day we can fight our way out, so that we can go to Mount Taizhou and take a good look at this world..." Chen Yi simply listened to a few words, smiled and passed it off, then continued to investigate the hidden spies of the Demon Court.

He had heard similar words countless times during the Wei Dynasty, and he no longer took them to heart.

……

On the other side, Qiu Yangming felt nervous when he noticed Chen Yi's movements.

He was very worried that Chen Yi was holding back.

That feeling was like a piece of gunpowder that could explode at any time, making him feel vaguely irritated.

"Did he notice the problem with the painting?"

"Or did he have the means to resist the Barbarian Emperor's magical power, but didn't sense the evil spirit in it?"

Qiu Yangming didn't know, but he felt that this matter was very strange and he should let other people know and make a decision.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yangming did not hesitate and directly sent a message to a soldier who was guarding the city wall not far away:

"Tell my lord that I need to contact him as soon as possible."

"Later."

It didn't take long.

A low and hoarse voice came to Qiu Yangming's ears.

"What's the matter?"

"Sir, the previous plan failed. I don't know what means Chen Yi used to avoid the painting scroll given by the Barbarian King."

"really?"

"I dare not deceive you, sir!"

As he spoke, Qiu Yangming recounted the entire story, from the time he and Meng Yao visited Chen Yi together to the moment when Chen Yi was stunned after taking the scroll, without missing a single detail.

After a while.

The voice slowly spoke: "I understand."

Seeing that there was no sound from the other end, Qiu Yangming breathed a sigh of relief.

But for some reason, he still felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

After thinking about it.

Qiu Yangming spoke again: "Sir, is there anything you need me to do next?"

"Just keep your troops in place. Chen Yi is hiding a big secret and he is not that easy to deal with."

"But sir, if he notices something and tells Hong Tian, ​​won't those ancestors be on guard?" Qiu Yangming asked.

But the voice did not respond immediately.

Instead, after another stick of incense had passed, he sent a message to him: "Chen Yi will be dealt with by others, you don't need to pay attention to him."

"As for the ancestors... we didn't intend to keep it secret from them."

After that, no matter how Qiu Yangming spoke, there was no response from the other side.

Sit quietly for a moment.

Qiu Yangming let out a long sigh, "Since the adults said so, then Chen Yi should not be able to make any waves. I just need to wait quietly."

But the meaning of the last sentence you said, sir... Could it be that this layout has taken into account the situations that several ancestors knew in advance?
As expected, the adults have a plan for everything.

……

At the same time, in Youdu City.

"What? Let's go out of the city now to investigate the movements of the demon court?"

Zhan Hongxiu frowned as he looked at the military order in his hand, then turned to the person who came and asked:

"We just took a break. Shouldn't other scouts take over this mission? Where are the people from Team C?"

The man, wearing red armor, smiled naturally and said, "They have other tasks and have already set out."

"The military order is urgent. You should take a short rest and rush to the mission site as soon as possible."

Zhan Hongxiu wanted to say more, but Lu Cheng stopped her, nodded to the visitor and said, "We understand. We will leave later."

"it is good."

After everyone left, Zhan Hongxiu complained, "I was asked to continue on my way out before I even had a rest. It's really..."

Lu Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Big Sister, now is not the same as in the sect. Military orders are as heavy as mountains, and we have to obey orders."

"Yes, yes, yes... obey my orders."

Zhan Hongxiu said perfunctorily, took a deep breath, regained her serious expression, and looked at Ning Xue and Jiang Yunni with serious eyes:

"Get ready, we'll set off in one stick of incense!"
