I'm only one year old what the heck Is a overturning system

Chen Yi and Jiang Yunni left the compartment, only to find Sun Zhengqiu already waiting outside.

After Jiang Yunni had left, Sun Zhengqiu transmitted his voice, "My lord, I have purchased some information, but not their exact locations."

He wisely did not inquire into what the young marquis and fairy Yun Ni had discussed, which was part of being a subordinate.

"Which part?" Chen Yi watched Jiang Yunni depart and asked.

"The identities of six Evil Demons who have recently arrived in Jiangnan Prefecture have been confirmed."

"'Mad Old Man' Feng Shan, 'Joyful Buddha' Yue Le, 'Poison Widow' Zhu Siniang, 'Array Ghost' Cen Yu, 'Evil Bone' Zhu Gang, and 'Demoness' Wen Renying."

"All are fourth-grade Spirit Aperture Realm experts, especially Wen Renying of the Bai Shen Sect, whose strength is said to have reached the upper fourth grade."

Sun Zhengqiu paused for a moment, glanced around, and continued to transmit his voice, "I speculate that there might be more from the Bai Shen Sect arriving, which the Four Directions Building didn't mention."

"Where are they now?"

"... Not enough money."

Chen Yi frowned slightly; five hundred gold for just a few names?

"What's the asking price?"

Sun Zhengqiu spoke with a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Another five hundred."

Chen Yi nodded, took out the money traded by Jiang Yunni from his Sumeru Bag, counted out five hundred gold, and handed it over to Sun Zhengqiu.

He hadn't noticed before, but fairy Yun Ni had actually given him four thousand gold pieces.

He somewhat believed her claim of "giving her all."

"Buy it!"

Not long afterwards, the two came out of the Four Directions Building.

Sun Zhengqiu looked indignantly, transmitting his voice, "My lord, the fault lies with me this time, please forgive me."

Chen Yi shook his head, turned around, and examined the calligraphy hanging from the trees.

"The martial world's affairs are well-understood; truly as the name suggests."

Five hundred gold, more than a common family could afford in their lifetime, just for five words.

— East bank of Jiangnan Prefecture.

That was it, and the manager even said, "If not for your generous offer, the Four Directions Building would not engage in this business."

He also reminded, "Those Evil Demons are fiercely wicked. If your strength is insufficient, don't overextend yourself."

Implicitly, it seemed that Sun Zhengqiu got the better end of the deal.

Chen Yi wasn't annoyed; his trip to the black market wasn't insubstantial.

He not only traded for a few things with Jiang Yunni, but also learned the identity information of those Evil Demons, as well as their general location.

Moreover, he also gained an opportunity to make a move on Ye Lin.

"How long is the information effective?" he asked.

"Before twelve hours passed," Sun Zhengqiu replied, "and he also made clear this was the last Evil Demon to enter Jiangnan Prefecture."

Half a day before...

Chen Yi calculated the time and nodded, "Let's go back first."

With the infiltration location of Feng Shan and other Evil Demons in Jiangnan Prefecture, plus the location of the Array Eye, it was enough for him to find those people.

It wasn't long before the two left the black market, returned the Token, and walked out of the forest.

Chen Yi glanced back.

Unsaid, the black market surely had its reasons to exist.

To some extent, it served as a hub for gathering information.

Had he no further business to attend to, he might have stayed longer to see what other gains could be had.

On the way back, Chen Yi thinking about the writing on the treasure map, asked, "Have you heard of Taizhou Mountain?"

Sun Zhengqiu showed a blank expression and shook his head, transmitting his voice, "I have never heard of it."

Even a fifth-grade Core Formation Realm Disciple didn't know?

Chen Yi thought that such a mysterious place likely meant the treasure was real.

He would ask his eldest martial sister if she knew anything about it.

At that moment, Chen Yi suddenly felt an alert in his heart and said, "Be careful."

Stepping forward,

"Hm?"

Sun Zhengqiu was startled, only to witness an unforgettable scene—

Chen Yi avoided two flying darts with a step and moved like a ghost in the night.

In an instant, he was at the alley's corner, his Spring Rain Sword drawn from its sheath.

Two crimson sword energies that resembled blood slashed through the dark night sky.

One sword to the throat, another to the heart.

After that, Chen Yi didn't stop; he scaled the wall with Sword Step.

In the blink of an eye, he had his Spring Rain Sword's edge at the throat of the person above.

The person was shrouded in a cloak, only revealing their eyes, looking stunned at him.

Two fifth-grade Core Formation Realm Martial Artists, just like that, dead?

Chen Yi examined him from head to toe, a flick of his wrist shot out Sword Qi, tearing off the headcloth and revealing a face that looked human but not quite human.

His face was humanoid, but it was covered with dense fur, making him seem ape-like.

"People from the Bai Shen Sect?"

He had heard from Zhan Hongxiu before that only disciples of the Bai Shen Sect would make themselves look like this.

Not quite human, not quite demon.

Hearing Chen Yi's words, the demon seemed to snap back to reality.

His shocked gaze turned ferocious, and he suddenly lunged forward, attempting to slice his neck on the edge of the Spring Rain Sword.

However, the scene he imagined of his head flying did not occur.

The moment he moved, Chen Yi had already taken the Spring Rain Sword away and, while at it, swung it to sever his limbs and shatter his teeth.

"Answer my question first, then you can die."

"Heh... you wish!"

Before the words finished, Chen Yi frowned, stepped back swiftly, only to see the demon's fur growing wildly.

In just a breath's time, the dense fur had enveloped his entire body.

Then, the fur gleamed with a metallic luster and suddenly contracted.

Instantly his body turned into a powder of flesh and blood, into bits no bigger than sesame seeds.

"Tsck."

Chen Yi looked at the unidentifiable mess, helplessly shaking his head.

Even after being so cautious, he had not expected that the demon would still have a means of suicide.

At this moment, Sun Zhengqiu hurried over and saw the bloody, fleshly mess, "Sir, is this a person from the Bai Shen Sect?"

"It looks like it."

Chen Yi sheathed his sword and after scanning the area without finding anything else, he ordered, "Go and inform the Night Watch Department to come clean this up."

"Yes, Sir."

After Sun Zhengqiu left, Chen Yi began to ponder.

The people from the Bai Shen Sect probably started tailing them at the Four Directions Building.

He didn't know how many more of them there were.

If it was only these three, that would mean they hadn't been discovered by the Bai Shen Sect yet.

But if there were others hidden outside, then...

Thinking about this, Chen Yi took out the Array Eye location that he had traded from Jiang Yunni from his Sumeru Bag and glanced over it.

"Eastern Jiangnan Prefecture, downstream of Lingguang Lake, Longevity Bridge."

Chen Yi looked at the simple map drawn on it and, relative to the location where the Mad Old Man and the others infiltrated Jiangnan Prefecture, the distance was not far.

Chen Yi muttered to himself for a moment, but he was clear in his mind that they probably didn't have much time left.

As long as the others confirm the location of the Array Eye, they could seize the Drought Corpse by destroying the Array at any time.

"Never mind, I'll find a way tomorrow to get Senior Sister and the others to go to Longevity Bridge and check it out."

It wasn't long before people from the Night Watch Department arrived.

Hmm, the frosty-faced Zhan Hongxiu came bringing Cheng Yunfei and Mou Zezhong along.

Chen Yi glared at Sun Zhengqiu, who looked innocent and helpless, knowing it wasn't his fault.

Then, he went to meet Zhan Hongxiu and spoke first:

"Senior Sister, don't be angry, I've already found the location of those Evil Demons."

"Really?"

Zhan Hongxiu 'sneered' and threw a punch down.

Bang!

"Hisss."

Chen Yi held his head and squatted down, his face contorted with pain.

"You want to investigate and you couldn't tell me first?"

"Running out like this, if something happened, how would you have me explain to Master?"

It was unknown if it was because Zhan Hongxiu was displeased from an earlier fight, but she took the chance to lecture Chen Yi for quite a while before discussing the next steps with the Night Watch Department.

However, she was destined to be disappointed.

The Night Watch Department simply inquired about what had happened and then took the corpses belonging to the Bai Shen Sect back to their office.

During this time, they didn't even ask about the Black Market, acting as if they already knew everything.

As for the whereabouts of those Evil Demons, they cared even less, merely telling Zhan Hongxiu to investigate thoroughly.

...

As dawn was about to break, the group returned to the inn.

While Cheng Yunfei went to ask Master Lianxin of the Hengshan Sect and others, Chen Yi remembered the treasure map from earlier and quietly inquired with Zhan Hongxiu.

"Senior Sister, do you know about Taizhou Mountain?"

Zhan Hongxiu looked at him suspiciously, did not speak, but communicated through Sound Transmission: "Junior Brother, did you hear about it on the Black Market?"

Seeing her so cautious, Chen Yi realized that this so-called Taizhou Mountain must be very secret, otherwise Zhan Hongxiu would not hide it from Sun Zhengqiu and Mou Zezhong.

Thus, he only nodded in acknowledgment.

Zhan Hongxiu stared at him for a while, then continued through Sound Transmission: "Taizhou Mountain is not a particular location, but rather a battlefield."

"But not just anyone can enter, as there are many restrictions and rules."

"One such rule is that before thirty years old, one's Cultivation must reach at least third-rank, or even higher, to be called to enter the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield."

"Exceeding this limitation, no matter how high one's Cultivation becomes later, they will neither be allowed nor permitted to enter."

Chen Yi's eyes slightly widened; wasn't this rule exactly what Jiang Yunni's Master had cautioned her about?

It turned out to be a restriction rather than mere advice.

"Why is that..."

Before he could ask further, Zhan Hongxiu interrupted through Sound Transmission: "In fact, I don't know much about that place myself."

"It was only after I reached the Fourth Grade Spirit Aperture Realm that Master mentioned it briefly to me."

"Other than the rule I mentioned earlier, all he said was to try my best to improve my Cultivation and Sword Dao."

"He told me not to ask too much about the rest nor discuss it with others."

The reason she told this to Chen Yi right now was mainly due to her recognition of Chen Yi's strength.

She was certain that with Chen Yi's talent, he would absolutely be able to reach the Third Grade Spirit Aperture Realm before thirty.

"I see," Chen Yi said thoughtfully, "then consider I never asked about it, Senior Sister."

Zhan Hongxiu nodded, "Taizhou Mountain Battlefield is not something you should concern yourself with at present. There are very few in our Grand Void Sect who have the qualifications to go there."

"As far as I know, from Master's generation, only about a dozen people were qualified to enter the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield; even Uncle Gu cannot go there."

"Uncle Gu can't go either?" Chen Yi was surprised.

A Great Cultivator of the Ancient Tao with a Second Grade Divine Travel Realm Cultivation couldn't enter Taizhou Mountain Battlefield...

It can only mean that the restrictions there are indeed strict.

Zhan Hongxiu patted his shoulder, "So, Junior Brother, concentrate on your Cultivation."

"All matters of the world, let them pass with a laugh, like the mist and clouds."

"Thank you, Senior Sister, I will keep that in mind."

Just as Chen Yi was about to turn and leave, he suddenly thought of Li Qingzhou, who hadn't returned to the mountain for a long time, and couldn't help but ask again:

"Is Master also because of that place?"

"Yes."

At that moment, Master Lianxin of the Hengshan Sect and the others arrived, and Zhan Hongxiu stopped using Sound Transmission, instead going over to discuss the next arrangements with them.

Yet, Chen Yi sat on the other side, gazing out the window into the night sky, silently contemplating.

Taizhou Mountain Battlefield... Since it's a battlefield, there must be life-and-death struggles between friends and foes.

Why then are there such strange rules and restrictions?

It's incomprehensible.

What puzzled Chen Yi even more was the treasure map.

Judging by the scale of the terrain drawn on it, saying it was as big as the Wei Dynasty State Mansion was no exaggeration.

If such a large battlefield only allowed a handful of people, wouldn't they all just be playing hide and seek inside?
