I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!

"Bluffing, right? I admit that someone capable of intervening in the duel between Lu Fang and Li Fei is an extraordinary prodigy, but to say he can be compared to Lord Heroic, I for one don't believe it!"

"Indeed, it's an exaggeration!"

"One must know that Lord Heroic can suppress Wuliang Mountain with a single sword, forcing them to seal their mountain for a hundred years!"

"And he has also slain the Great Demon King 'Black Impermanence' of the Demon Court. It's said that there's already a rumor from the Demon Court that upon learning this, the Fengyue Demon Emperor almost ordered an attack from the south in anger!"

"Is this true? If the Demon Court attacks Beixiong Pass from the south, it might end up in a bloodbath like it did more than thirty years ago."

"How could this be false? That 'Black Impermanence' was the right-hand of the Fengyue Demon Emperor. Its death would certainly infuriate the Demon Emperor!"

"There's nothing to fear. If those demons dare to come south, I'm sure Lord Heroic would head north to confront them."

"Don't forget, Duke Wu An is still stationed in Beizhi. If Beixiong Pass faces trouble, for the sake of the nation and his family, Lord Heroic will indeed go..."

...

Soon, nightfall came.

Chen Yi, ten thousand miles away from Kyoto Prefecture, was still mentally shrouding the area where Dakong Temple stood.

Last night, he and Li Qingzhou discussed all the findings, not only hoping that Master could make preparations early but also specifically asking him to guard Duke Wu An's Mansion.

He even asked Li Qingzhou to investigate more at Kyoto Academy, keeping a close eye on Third Master Yang Huan.

As for Great Master Lin Zhongke, Chen Yi temporarily had no plans, deciding after deeply investigating the plot of the "Extreme Purity Heavens."

"Why has Zhou Guanwu not left Dakong Temple all this time?"

All day, Chen Yi constantly sensed Dakong Temple's location, yet he didn't even see a shadow of Lu Fang.

Dakong Temple...

After a moment of thought, Chen Yi divided his focus to send sound transmissions to Wen Renying and Sun Zhengqiu.

One was to have Wen Renying send someone to Dakong Temple tomorrow to find out what was going on, and two was to have Sun Zhengqiu investigate the Lu Family in Jizhou Prefecture.

With both tasks proceeding simultaneously, he would save himself more distraction.

"Master~ I worked hard for a long time today, and finally managed to take control of the families you instructed one by one~"

"When will you reward me again~"

A reward?

A Blood Core?

Chen Yi patted his forehead, thinking of the Blood Core, he suddenly remembered that the Xunwang Heaven ceremony was today.

"Once we clear up the matter of Dakong Temple, this marquis will certainly not deprive you of benefits."

"It's not that I'm greedy, it's just that the Sect Master appeared earlier, making me anxious these past two days~"

Wen Renying, hiding in a noble family's residence, didn't disguise her face and had even changed into very revealing attire.

With a thin veil draped over her, one could vaguely see her alluring figure as she lay seductively on the bed.

As she spoke, she slowly twisted her body, her face filled with charm, not at all worried that Chen Yi couldn't see her.

"Anxious? This marquis thinks you just want to tighten up your skin!"

"..."

The charm on Wen Renying's face turned into helplessness, her master certainly knew how to spoil the mood.

"Enough nonsense. Tomorrow, when your people enter Dakong Temple, don't reveal any demon energy."

"I obey, master~"

Compared to Wen Renying, Sun Zhengqiu was much more normal.

Upon receiving Chen Yi's orders, he immediately quickened his pace, aiming to reach Jizhou Prefecture in the shortest time possible.

"Master, the Marquis and Madam asked me to tell you not to worry about their safety, you just need to protect yourself."

Chen Yi replied with a simple acknowledgment, then disregarded Sun Zhengqiu.

Until late at night, after confirming that Lu Fang still hadn't left Dakong Temple, he took out the "Xunwang Order," and his mind sank into it.

During recent times, Chen Yi was either in secluded cultivation or investigating matters related to Lu Fang and the "Extreme Purity Heavens," leaving him with no time to focus on the "Xunwang Order."

Now, seeing the Deep Blue Water Mirror again, his heart fluctuated slightly.

Upon entering the Water Mirror, Chen Yi saw four small figures already present; they were Qing Feng, Sword Obsession, Xiao Liuer, and the half-demon Xiaolan.

The four gathered together, watching the half-demon with a pure white tail behind her incessantly open and close her mouth, talking continuously.

Golden characters appeared one after another within the Water Mirror —

"...Chen Er is truly formidable. He actually slew one of my Demon Court's Great Demon Kings with a single sword!"

"That was a Great Demon King!"

"Not only that, but I also heard that in the realm of the Wei Dynasty, he even forced a thousand-year-old Taoist Holy Land to seal their mountain!"

The nearby Sword Obsession occasionally agreed with a grunt, and even the often mute Xiao Liuer showed surprise.

Only Qing Feng appeared somewhat normal, curling her lips and saying:

"Chen Er is so formidable, why hasn't he come to Taizhou Mountain all this while?"

"A few days ago, Senior Brother mentioned that after 'Xunwang Heaven' there would be explorations of a few realms, and perhaps we'd need everyone's help. If Chen Er could come, we could be more relieved."

Sword Obsession asked curiously: "Sister Qingfeng, what kind of realms are those? Are there any Sword Dao inheritances?"

"I don't know either," Qing Feng said, just as she saw a figure appear in the corner and immediately waved:

"Chen Er, you're finally here! You've been gone for so long, I was beginning to think something happened to you!"

"If it weren't for Sister Xiaolan's tales, none of us would know about the great deeds you've been up to during this time!"

Sword Obsession and Xiao Liuer also saw Chen Yi appear and greeted simultaneously.

The half-demon Xiaolan's doll-like face showed a scrutinizing expression as she hesitated to speak:

"Chen Yi, now should I call you Lord Heroic Marquis?"

"The Demon Court and Wei Dynasty are different; it's better for Princess Xiaolan to keep some distance from me." Chen Yi glanced at her without much concern, greeted Qing Feng and the others, and asked:

"When does the gathering begin?"

"What? You have something important to handle?" Qing Feng whined with a playful gesture and said:

"Chen Er, you haven't appeared for so long; your body must have accumulated a lot of Demon Blood Cores, right?"

Blood Core...

Chen Yi paused, his expression slightly unnatural and said:

"Well, I do have some, but I haven't brought them with me. Recently, I've had matters to handle, so I came in a hurry."

"Doesn't matter, I'm willing to wait, hehe... I've just heard you beheaded a Great Demon King; that Blood Core..."

Bad!

Blood Core in crisis!

Chen Yi internally exclaimed the situation dire; for this 'Xunwang Heaven' gathering, he had a few critical matters needing exchanges.

This time he'd have to do like Ah Lang previously, and owe necessities first.

Looks like once 'Xunwang Heaven' ends, he'll need to seize the chance to butcher some Great Demons for their Blood Cores.

"Don't tell me your Blood Core is already gone?" Qing Feng noticed his expression, sensed something was off, and anxiously said:

"You're a Sword Cultivator; you don't use Demon Blood Cores, how could it be gone?"

"..." Chen Yi spread his hands and said: "I may not use them, but my little Xiao Qing certainly can."

"Who is Xiao Qing? Dares to compete with me for Blood Core? Call him over, let him compete with me!"

"Xiao Qing is not who, but a dragon." Chen Yi glanced at her and calmly said a line of golden words.

"Dragon?"

Qing Feng was stunned, looked at the similarly confused Sword Obsession, Xiao Liuer, and others, cautiously asked:

"Serpent?"

"That's a demon, not a dragon." Chen Yi slightly raised his head and said with a cheerful smile:

"My little Xiao Qing is an Azure Dragon!"

"Stop lying!" Qing Feng immediately waved her fist and said:

"The Azure Dragon has long disappeared from Taizhou Mountain; the last appearance was still ten thousand years ago, how could you find it?"

"Mr. Chen, your words are too unbelievable..." Sword Obsession nodded in agreement.

Xiao Liuer and the half-demon Xiaolan didn't speak, but their expressions also showed disbelief.

"Fine, don't believe it."

That's your choice not to believe, if Xiao Qing shows up later, don't blame me for not telling you earlier.

Chen Yi looked around and asked: "When does the gathering begin?"

"Soon... Here it comes!"

As Qing Feng's golden words faded, everyone felt their hearts sink.

Soon enough, Chen Yi saw the towering Taizhou Mountain and the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge' stretching across the starry night.

In the next moment.

Chen Yi found himself in a pavilion atop the mountains, far away the two tornadoes of black and white still swirled across the sky.

Qing Feng, Xiao Liuer, the half-demon Xiaolan, along with the long-unseen Zhao Muzi, Zhao Tianhe, and Ah Lang all appeared beside him.

"Hehe haha... So these are your 'Xunwang Heaven' folks? They don't seem... huh? Are you the boy that beheaded the old man?"

Noisy chatter reached him, and Chen Yi furrowed his brow looking around, his eyes immediately froze, a coldness filled his expression:

"Mad Old Man, why are you here!?"
