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

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow, "So many?"

If that was the case, he wasn't so keen on entering the "Heavenly Pride List" anymore.

Otherwise, just those endless challengers alone were enough to give him a headache.

However, thinking of this, Chen Yi had a thought.

"How come I have never seen anyone come to challenge Senior Sister Zhan on the mountain?"

"It must be the intimidation of the sect," Sun Zhengqiu thought for a moment and replied, "If Senior Sister Zhan does not leave the sect, I fear ordinary people wouldn't dare to come."

"A greater possibility is that they are stopped by the disciples of the Martial Arts Hall outside the mountain."

Chen Yi nodded, "That makes sense."

At this moment, Zhan Hongxiu came running over with more than ten jars of wine, shouting excitedly,

"Junior Brother, Junior Brother, come quickly, lend me your Sumeru Bag."

Chen Yi glanced at her, then at the "Heavenly Pride List" in Sun Zhengqiu's hand, his eyes showing a bit of strangeness.

He thought to himself that there was really no need to pay heed to this "Heavenly Pride List", it wasn't as pleasing as the "Ten Taoist Immortals."

Especially the comments provided, not to mention a lot of nonsense, but definitely written with eyes closed.

"Junior Brother?" Zhan Hongxiu, seeing him not moving for a long time, reminded skeptically, "Sumeru Bag."

Chen Yi shut his eyes and put the jars of wine into the Sumeru Bag, mounted a tall horse, and left the inn first.

Dropping a phrase from afar.

"Senior Sister, to not affect the journey, I will temporarily look after these drinks for you."

"What do you mean?" Zhan Hongxiu looked bewildered.

Sun Zhengqiu, who quickly mounted his horse to catch up with Chen Yi, thought a bit and followed.

This was something only Young Marquis would dare to say and do. The others should not get involved, lest they be caught in the wrath of Senior Sister Zhan.

And seeing them leaving first, Zhan Hongxiu still hadn't reacted.

It was just temporarily storing the wines, there's no need for Junior Brother to specifically remind her, right?

"Senior Sister Zhan, what Junior Brother Chen means is that before we arrive at Jiangnan Prefecture, you're not supposed to drink."

Zhan Hongxiu was shocked, "What?!"

She had just managed to get some fine wines on credit from the inn, not drinking a few mouthfuls on the way would be the end of her!

"Junior Brother, slow down, let's discuss this..."

The remaining two disciples, the body cultivator from Lin Xun Peak Mou Zezhong, and Cheng Yunfei from Dan Peak Mountain, exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile wryly.

The three people in front had run off, leaving the task of carrying the foodstuffs from the inn to them.

"Mou Junior Brother, don't you think Senior Sister Zhan's attitude towards Junior Brother Chen is quite unusual?"

"Is it?"

Mou Zezhong hung his luggage onto the horseback, mounted the horse and said, "But Junior Brother Chen is too young, this mission we might have to be distracted to look after him a bit."

Cheng Yunfei, pondering slightly, nodded.

She had heard of Chen Yi's name, being in Dan Peak Mountain and paying a lot of attention to those two sisters of Alchemy Dao with excellent talents.

It seemed that they had a good relationship with Chen Yi, often running to Sword Edge Mountain.

She even once heard people saying that Fairy Hua specially refined some elixirs for Chen Yi.

Not sure if it's true...

...

Jiangnan Prefecture, has always been a place of extraordinary people and Earth Spirits.

In the "Records of Wei Dynasty's Reign", it was recorded how the first emperor who founded the Great Wei Dynasty visited Jiangnan Prefecture three times.

During one of those trips past Lingguang Lake, he left behind the praise "Among the thousand lakes, none surpass this one."

And there were numerous outstanding figures, both in the court and the Martial World.

Previously there were Great Wei Dynasty's general Ji Wugou, Left Minister Feng Hanlin, "Hero of Jiangnan" Su Baimo, "Divine Spear" Yuan Lang and others.

Later on, there were Tang Xun who topped the imperial examinations, Wang Situ from Night Watch Department Silver Flag, and the aforementioned "Twin Blade Slaughter" Wang Situ who was also from Jiangnan Prefecture.

For three consecutive days, Chen Yi and his group spurred their horses, rushing from Jizhou Prefecture to the territory of Jiangnan Prefecture with only slowing down upon arrival.

"Senior Sister, who in Jiangnan Prefecture sought our Grand Void Sect's assistance for this mission?"

"It was someone from the Night Watch Department, I heard from Master Cao that a spy from the Night Watch Department accidentally found out that Evil Demons intend to target the arrays of Jiangnan Prefecture."

Zhan Hongxiu rode on her horse, looking afar at the Jiangnan Mansion surrounded by water and green mountains, and said:

"Previously, the array set by the Left Minister is the famous Blessing Array from the Taoist path, capable of bringing 'harmonious winds and timely rain.'"

"Originally, it could at most protect the area of a single county, but under the addition of evil energy from the Drought Corpse, it barely manages to protect the entire Jiangnan Prefecture."

"As a result, the common folk of Jiangnan Prefecture have been able to live comfortably for the past three years. Not only did it compensate for the losses caused by that drought, but it also left some surplus."

At this point, Zhan Hongxiu paused, then looked toward Sun Zhengqiu on the other side, and asked: "Junior Brother Sun, I heard you've been to Jiangnan Prefecture before?"

"Replying to Senior Sister," Sun Zhengqiu nodded and said, "Half a year ago, I indeed spent some time here while on a sect mission."

"As Senior Sister said, through the hands of the Left Minister, Jiangnan Mansion is indeed more prosperous than before. However..."

Sun Zhengqiu hesitated, "This place also hides some Evil Demons, secretly committing numerous egregious acts."

"Oh? Does Junior Brother's statement have a specific implication?" Cheng Yunfei asked, "Could you elaborate?"

Seeing that Chen Yi didn't oppose, Sun Zhengqiu continued.

"It's unnecessary to talk about the officialdom of Jiangnan Prefecture. Whether it be the Jiangnan Prefecture Governor, the Night Watch Department, or the Governance Department, they generally abide by the court's commands."

"In the Martial World, with 'Hero of Jiangnan' Su Baimo and the Sword Dominator Sect Master Duan Zhendong present, their presence is enough to maintain order."

"However, Junior Brother has learned that recently, some evil sects have had their experts appearing in Jiangnan Prefecture."

"People like Feng Shan from Divine Movement Sect, elder Zhang Tianxing from Ten Thousand Gu Sect, and Demoness Wen Renying from Bai Shen Sect, all have been rumored to be seen in Jiangnan Prefecture."

Hearing this, Chen Yi's heart stirred. Feng Shan, Mad Old Man?

This name was indeed memorable for him.

It was this man who had abducted him back in the Capital City.

And it was thanks to him that he had discovered Duke Jingye Zhou Tiance, who was scheming against him in the shadows, at that time.

Unexpectedly, a trip down the mountain granted him a chance encounter with him in the Jiangnan Prefecture.

However, Chen Yi did not show any expression on his face.

Back then, the Mad Old Man's strength had already reached the Fourth Grade Spirit Aperture Realm. Considering four years had passed, his power has likely improved.

Should they actually encounter each other, he needed to carefully plan in order to 'thank' him for that 'abduction favor'!

"Let's talk when we get there."

Hearing this, Zhan Hongxiu did not wait any longer. She spurred her horse, taking the lead towards Jiangnan Prefecture, with the rest following.

However, Chen Yi deliberately lagged behind, with Sun Zhengqiu understandingly at his sides.

"Earlier, you had more to say, did you mean there are 'Hidden Dragon' seeds in Jiangnan Prefecture, or other members present?"

"You guessed correctly, sir," Sun Zhengqiu replied via sound transmission: "To my knowledge, four 'Hidden Dragon seeds' have been apprenticed at Ba Dao Sect."

"According to the observations of that Daoist's qi gazing, their talents in Sword Dao are strong, and there is a high likelihood they are already cultivating Martial Arts there."

Ba Dao Sect, four "Hidden Dragon seeds."

Chen Yi slightly opened his mouth and whispered, "What else? Your previous visit to Jiangnan Prefecture must have revealed more, otherwise you wouldn't have paid such close attention to this place after returning to the mountains."

"I can't hide it from you, sir," Sun Zhengqiu solemnly continued: "During my previous visit here, I heard a rumor."

"It was said that 'Hero of Jiangnan' Su Baimo and the master of the Ba Dao Sect arranged a battle on Lingguang Lake. I intended to watch the battle."

Arranged battle...

Chen Yi slightly nodded, somewhat curious about these duels between renowned figures of the Martial World.

But his thoughts were more on the mission and the Mad Old Man.

"Since you can receive news from Jiangnan Mansion even from the mountains, you must already have reliable channels. So, do me a favor."

"Please instruct me, sir." Sun Zhengqiu's expression was alert.

Since following Young Marquis, he had only undertaken two tasks.

One was to investigate what Duke Jingye Zhou Tiance had done after his injury, and the second was to deliver a family letter.

These two tasks, in his eyes, failed to demonstrate his capabilities.

Inability to demonstrate capability meant he was not very useful to Young Marquis, making it possible for him to be abandoned later.

"Keep an eye on the movements of the Mad Old Man for me. I need to know when and where he appears!"

"Feng Shan?"

"Yes, report to me after finding him."

After speaking, Chen Yi whipped his horse, and it galloped away.

Having not encountered him in the Grand Void Sect, since he bumped into him in Jiangnan Prefecture, he was not going to let Mad Old Man off.

Even if it wasn't for himself, he had to make the Mad Old Man pay a price for Lin Xueru!
