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

After lunch at the Youlai Inn, Chen Yi and Zhan Hongxiu discussed and decided to split into two teams to investigate the whereabouts of the Evil Demons.

One team was Chen Yi and Sun Zhengqiu, while the other was led by Zhan Hongxiu along with Cheng Yunfei and Mou Zezhong.

Only then did Mou Zezhong and Cheng Yunfei truly believe that what Zhan Hongxiu had said earlier might indeed be true.

However, they just couldn't accept it.

"Senior Sister Zhan, is Junior Brother Chen's strength really that formidable?" Cheng Yunfei held back for a long time before finally asking.

Mou Zezhong also looked skeptical, "Could it be that Junior Brother Chen is actually close to twenty years old?"

Zhan Hongxiu couldn't help but laugh wryly, her tone resolute, "Junior Brother Chen's talent is astonishingly exceptional, especially in the Sword Dao."

"Even my Master couldn't compare to him at his age."

"Master Li? Senior Sister Zhan, you mean that even Master Li's Sword Dao Talent is not a match for his!?" Cheng Yunfei asked in astonishment.

She was well aware that if anyone in the current Grand Void Sect was said to have exceptional talent, it was Sword Edge Mountain's Sect Leader Li Qingzhou who no one dared to claim surpassed in second place.

Whether comparing Sword Dao Talent or comparing horizontally with other talents, no one could match him.

Even Grand Void Sect's Sect Master, Taixu Peak's Leader Xiao Huang, relied on his age advantage to just manage to compete with Master Li in terms of cultivation progress, techniques, and mental understanding.

And now, someone with a Sword Dao Talent surpassing his has appeared...

Cheng Yunfei felt as if she was in a dream, inwardly exclaiming that it was impossible.

"So what exactly is Junior Brother Chen's current level of strength?" Mou Zezhong didn't think too much and asked after his surprise.

"Um, Junior Brother Chen's strength,"

Zhan Hongxiu recalled the results of the previous few bouts and pondered, "should be about the same as mine."

Despite the fact that all those bouts were just sparring and stopping at touching, she could sense that Chen Yi's strength was not weaker than hers.

Even in some aspects, such as swordsmanship and the instinct to kill enemies, he was far stronger than she was.

"To say what's weak, the only thing Junior Brother Chen is weak in is his cultivation. Once his cultivation makes further progress, reaching the Spiritual Acupoint Realm, or even just the Holding Pill Realm would be enough to surpass me."

Hearing this, Cheng Yunfei and Mou Zezhong glanced at each other, both seeing the disbelief in each other's eyes.

They both knew about Chen Yi's age, as well as Zhan Hongxiu's strength.

For them to compare the two...

It seemed impossible to draw an equal sign between them!

"In any case, you two don't need to worry about his safety. At least within Jiangnan Prefecture, there should be no one who can harm him."

Zhan Hongxiu measured others by herself; as long as Chen Yi didn't act rashly, even if he couldn't win a fight, he could still run away.

After all, the most common saying in the Grand Void Sect during missions was, "If you can't beat them, run" and "Go back for reinforcements."

However, Zhan Hongxiu then thought of Chen Yi's slipperiness on the mountain, and this thought immediately vanished into smoke.

It seemed that as long as no one provoked Junior Brother Chen, he wouldn't make enemies with anyone.

...

Chen Yi was unaware that Zhan Hongxiu had already "sold him out".

But even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything.

After all, he had never intended to hide his strength and cultivation, especially since on Sword Edge Mountain, he had sparred with Zhan Hongxiu several times in front of his fellow apprentices.

It's just that people like Ning Xue on the mountain never mentioned it.

Even Lin Xueru and Du Yanqing, who were very aware of his strength, kept his "secret" very tacitly.

This made him feel warm-hearted but also felt they were being overly cautious.

In Chen Yi's view, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger was only suitable when one was weak or young.

Once a person's power surpassed a certain limit, even if they wanted to hide, it would not be an easy task.

Especially since some less bright individuals would come to provoke him, then it would be even more impossible to keep hidden.

It might be better to reveal his strength thoroughly to deter those bastards, so they would think twice before targeting him.

Of course, like Duke Jingye Zhou Tiance who had already provoked him and made a mortal enemy of him.

Even if they didn't come after him, he wouldn't let them off!

"Where is this black market you mentioned?" Chen Yi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar alleys and asked.

"Your subordinate has already found the signs left by the organizers. We just need to wait until nightfall, then I will take you there," Sun Zhengqiu answered respectfully.

"That concealed?"

"The lord is unaware, most of the people in the black market are like those Evil Demons from Bai Shen Sect. The organizers in every prefecture are extra cautious to avoid detection by the government, especially fearing the Night Watch Department."

Sun Zhengqiu, while keeping an eye on the passersby, introduced through sound transmission, "More than ten years ago, a noble from Kyoto Prefecture encountered trouble in the black market, which resulted in the Night Watch Department deploying a large number of men to sweep through the area."

"It is said that during that time, the black markets in several neighboring state prefectures of Kyoto Prefecture were almost completely cleaned out."

"Even the state prefectures a bit further away were much more cautious, fearing they might again attract the attention of the Night Watch Department."

Chen Yi nodded slightly, gaining some understanding of the black market.

"So you were planning to use the black market to search for news of the Feng Shan from the beginning?"

"Correct, your subordinate had precisely this plan."

Sun Zhengqiu led him to a secluded alleyway and pointed to the lower corner of a stone brick, "My lord, please look, that is the mark of the black market."

Chen Yi examined it for a moment, then continued to move forward.

"We'll talk about it tonight; first, we follow the plan we've discussed earlier and see if we can find those people."

The methods for searching for Evil Demons were very limited.

In Chen Yi's opinion, it was less a method and more like relying on luck.

It involved going to brothels and gambling dens, those places that harbored filth and vice, to try and find one or two deviants.

According to Zhan Hongxiu, she had once intercepted a flower-picking thief in a brothel through such means.

The scene at the time was really...

Zhan Hongxiu did not elaborate further, but Chen Yi, with his myriad experiences from his previous life, could imagine it.

From this, one can see the ferocity of the Senior Sister.

What Chen Yi could not understand, however, was why this domineering Senior Sister was so courteous to Ye Lin.

Just because he was the son of a Sect Leader from Yuhua Immortal Sect?

That couldn't be it.

At least from Chen Yi's year of acquaintance with Zhan Hongxiu, he found it hard to believe that Senior Sister would refrain from taking action against Ye Lin for such a reason.

It was puzzling.

...

The sun soon set.

Indeed, as Chen Yi had speculated.

For an entire afternoon, he and Sun Zhengqiu visited several places and failed to find even one Evil Demon; they did not even find anyone who remotely resembled such a demon.

Aside from gaining an in-depth understanding of the land of flowers in this world, one could say they achieved nothing.

And when they returned to the inn and compared notes with Zhan Hongxiu and the nuns from the Hengshan Sect, the result was the same.

Everyone's progress was very consistent; there was no progress at all.

"Let's leave it at that for today; we'll change directions tomorrow, perhaps as Ye Lin suggested, we should first find the Array Eye of that array."

Zhan Hongxiu, resigned, shook her head.

For her to draw her sword and cut down opponents was one thing, but asking her to come up with a way to find people proved quite difficult.

Not just her, even the others from Hengshan Sect like Master Lianxin and so on felt the same.

They might be clear about the honorable paths in the Martial World, but they didn't know much about the Evil Demons.

Compared to them, Sun Zhengqiu, who hailed from a Hidden Dragon background, was more familiar.

It wasn't until close to midnight that Chen Yi quietly left the inn to meet up with Sun Zhengqiu.

"My lord, if Senior Sister Zhan discovers us like this, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, she won't say anything even if she finds out."

Chen Yi was not at all concerned, taking the lead and running off into the distance.

Sun Zhengqiu did not try to persuade him further; since the Young Marquis had said so, he had no choice but to risk his life to accompany the nobleman.

However, it wasn't long before Chen Yi found that Senior Sister Zhan indeed hadn't discovered him, but he did unexpectedly run into someone else.

—Yun Ni, the Fairy from Yuhua Immortal Sect!

The three of them stood at the entrance to the black market, and even though they were all in disguise, their body shapes and features were too distinctive, and they had seen each other just that day.

It would be hard not to recognize each other.

After staring at each other for a long time, the three entered the woods where the black market was located without saying a word.

After a while, Chen Yi suddenly heard a sound transmission:

"Stop following me, or else, you'll die!"
