I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 329 - 160 Wu... (Please Subscribe)_5

Even if everyone survives this ordeal, Chen Yi might still find their loyalty and trust inevitably fractured.

Three Masters and Monk Hui Jing exchanged a glance, and shook their heads in refusal upon sizing up Hua Xianzi below.

Although unaware of the relationship between Hua Xianzi and Chen Yi, it was apparent to them that she was a disciple of the Grand Void Sect and belonged to the alchemy lineage.

Such Heavenly Pride is even rarer than a Sword Cultivator and certainly cannot be used as a sacrificial pawn.

"What about her?" Lu Chen continued, pointing at Xiao Xuanzhen and asking with a smile.

Li Qingzhou’s eyebrows were tightly knit, his gaze ice-cold as he said, "Stop proposing such a trade, or I will slay you here and now!"

"Heh... Dare you?"

Lu Chen held no regard for his threat, tauntingly said, "If you strike at me here, our only fate is mutual death."

"Hmph, to die alongside Lu Chen, a pillar of the Demon Court, would be an honorable demise Qing Zhou would gladly accept!"

"Heh, I would not."

As it spoke, thick black demon energy surged around its body, transforming again into a giant Serpent that soared into the sky.

Its massive body, shrouded in demon energy, gleamed with black scales under the moonlight.

"You’re spurning a face-saving way out; then just wait and see!"

A low voice echoed in the sky and at the next moment, three Great Demons roared together.

"You?!"

Li Qingzhou and the others’ expressions shifted as they scanned the northern part of the dense forest, their eyes settling on the meticulously arrayed hundreds of thousands of Barbarian Warriors stationed before South-Garrison Pass.

Different from the ragged barbarians in the forest, these warriors besieging South-Garrison Pass were not only taller and more robust but also wore thick armor and carried longbows, spears, swords, and other weapons.

Upon hearing the Great Demons’ roar, an old barbarian wearing a feathered crown emerged from a tent behind the army formation.

He looked up at the sky, then proclaimed in the barbarian language:

"The heavens have sounded the call, warriors, strike for the glory of our clan!"

Thud Thud Thud!

Wu——

The drumbeats thundered, the horns sounded, and the Barbarian Army moved as if to shake the very earth for miles around.

Leading the charge was a ten-zhang tall Barbarian Warrior, pushing a gigantic shield forward.

The garrisoned soldiers atop South-Garrison Pass reacted, shouting their battle cries to meet the enemy.

"Kill!"

"We must not let them breach the pass!"

"Shield-bearers, fall back; archers, shoot down these barbarians!"

"..."

In the blink of an eye, a war that swept across the Southern Barbarians and the Wei Dynasty abruptly unfolded.

Li Qingzhou, Monk Hui Jing, and Three Masters’ faces grew increasingly grim as they glared at Lu Chen and the other demons, their eyes filled with icy disdain.

"What dealings do you have with the Southern Barbarian Sect? Why is the High Priest cooperating to such an extent?!"

"Want to know? Exchange for Chen Yi!"

Lu Chen smirked sinisterly, "Losing one Heavenly Pride won’t spell the end for your Human Race, but once war begins, there’s no turning back."

"Brother Lu Chen, they’ve already rejected your proposition, why waste words with them?" laughed another Great Demon King.

"That’s right. With the war at South-Garrison Pass underway, the battle at Beixiong Pass isn’t far off."

"Even if these Human Clan’s Geniuses survive, nothing will change!"

"Ha ha ha..."

While Li Qingzhou and the others were shaken, they held back their impulse to strike, considering something cautiously.

What they did not know was that in their moment of shock, Lu Chen had already stealthily released a streak of demon energy that suddenly descended into the dense forest.

After a moment of silence.

Li Qingzhou turned to the madly laughing Lu Chen, "This is all for that wager, isn’t it?"

The laughter stopped abruptly.

"Did I guess correctly?"

Li Qingzhou exhaled, his demeanor calming down, his face no longer showing anger, and spoke in a flat tone:

"It seems the Demon Court, or rather, the old demons on Taizhou Mountain are very worried about losing the wager."

"They would rather pay a heavy price to stir the storm, hoping to slow down our Human Clan’s Geniuses’ growth..."

"Fearing that once they grow strong, they’ll slay all those so-called ’Demon Seeds’ of the Demon Court, right?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, one such ’Seed’ has already been slain by Chen Yi in the secret realm."

At these words, Three Masters and Monk Hui Jing also calmed down, smiling and nodding.

"If you’re worried about the wager, why not simply admit defeat now? Perhaps those great beings will be magnanimous if you show understanding and recognize your place."

"I wondered before, but now I see,"

Monk Hui Jing brought his palms together, chuckling, "The demons are frightened!"

A simple statement caused the three Great Demon Kings including Lu Chen to fly into a rage once more.

"Scared?"

"This great one scared of you ants?"

"What a joke!"

Three Masters’ smile remained unchanged, "If you’re scared, then you’re scared; otherwise, why would you collude with those families?"

"Bullshit!" Lu Chen roared angrily: "When did this great one collude with those ant-like families? Clearly, it was Wu..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized something, glaring at Li Qingzhou and the other two in vexation.

"You... detestable!"

"This great one will surely devour you all on Taizhou Mountain!"

Seeing that they had prevented Lu Chen from finishing, Li Qingzhou and the other two felt somewhat regretful.

But noticing that the three Great Demon Kings ceased to speak, they abandoned the thought of probing further and shifted their attention to the war below and the slaughter in the dense forest.

"Wu? Brother Qing Zhou, from this beast’s words, who do you reckon is colluding with them?"

"There are only so many with ’Wu’ at the beginning within the Wei Dynasty’s borders, the Wu family from Beizhi, the Chen Family of Duke Wuan..."

Li Qingzhou shook his head slightly, and through Sound Transmission said: "Perhaps what it’s referring to is not about a specific family, but a general term."

"Marquis Wu?" Three Masters frowned in thought.

He also didn’t believe that the Wu family or the Chen Family of Duke Wuan would collude with the Demon Court, but if it were Marquis Wu...

That would not bode well for this war that started in both the south and the north!

"At this point, there’s no use overthinking. With Gongye Jiahong stationed at South-Garrison Pass, there won’t be any problems in the short term."

"As for Beixiong Pass..."

"With Marquis Taishan Wang Xidu there as well, plus Duke Wuan Chen Taiping who is about to set out northward, they won’t allow the Demon Court to invade unchallenged."

At this point, Three Masters sighed and said: "Let’s first ensure the young ones safely return within the Wei Dynasty’s borders."

Li Qingzhou and Monk Hui Jing nodded, then both focused their attention on Chen Yi and the others.

However, their hearts were heavy, for they knew that once war erupted, the Wei Dynasty would surely be plagued by death and suffering.

"Alas..."

Observing their expressions, the Great Demon Kings such as Lu Chen exchanged looks and then turned their gaze to the battleground below.

Especially Lu Chen, who looked at the dense forest not far from Xiao Xuanzhen and others, his eyes filled with chilling coldness.

"They must not be allowed to leave alive!"

At this moment, sighing just like Li Qingzhou and the others was the female barbarian leader, recently setting out towards South-Garrison Pass.

She heard the sounds of war drums from South-Garrison Pass, and her eyes couldn’t help but show anger.

"High Priest Tuluo, you are a sinner of the Barbarian Clan!!"

The group of Barbarian Kings and Great Shamans behind her made no move to speak.

"I..."

The female barbarian leader, recalling the image of Chen Yi slaying the many Great Demons, felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"Unwillingness!"

After a low growl, the female barbarian turned around again and pursued in the direction where Chen Yi and the others had left.

"By all means, they must be stopped; our clan is not yet ready to go to war with the Wei people!"

...

As the distance to Xiao Xuanzhen and the others grew closer, Chen Yi, under the cover of his Sword Intent, sensed no abnormality and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The recent appearance of Li Qingzhou and that Great Demon had truly put him on edge.

It wasn’t for himself, he was just concerned that Li Qingzhou and the others wouldn’t be able to withstand those Great Demons, leading to mishaps among the others.

After the recent skirmish with Futu and the other demons, he had a clearer understanding of his own strength.

After his cultivation advanced to the Heavenly Union Realm, his Sword Intent grew exponentially, far surpassing that during the battle with the Monkey Demon.

If his Sword Intent was a one before, now his Sword Intent had reached the power of ten.

Aside from the boost in cultivation from the Dragon Transformation Pond, the increase he received from slaying tens of thousands of demons and barbarians was even more terrifying.

In particular, after killing Great Demons like Futu, his Sword Intent increased by another thirty percent.

At this time, the Little White Tiger’s limbs had already fully solidified, and it was running around the altar as if playing exuberantly.

Just then, a strange silhouette quietly appeared in his Sword Intent’s perception.

The aura was very peculiar, seeming both strong and yet somehow weak.

As soon as it appeared, it launched an assault towards Xiao Xuanzhen and Hua Xianzi, its eerie form like a wisp of smoke, carrying a terrifying corroding air.

"Die!"

Accompanying this sinister laughter was a cold shout from Li Qingzhou faintly heard from the sky:

"How Dare?!"

Catching this, Chen Yi disregarded everything else, his Slaughter Sword Intent erupting immediately, and the Spring Rain Sword transformed into a streak of light.

"Sword Eleven Fireflies!"
