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

Above the Void Extreme Realm...

Chen Yi nodded.

It seemed his Master's growth in cultivation on Taizhou Mountain wasn't much, incomparable to the progress in Sword Dao.

"Don't worry, those Great Demon Kings have coveted the strongholds of Tianyuan Continent for more than a day or two. They won't be so easy to conquer."

Miss Qingfeng waved her hand: "Chen Er, you should be heading to Taizhou Mountain soon, right?"

Chen Yi nodded: "Seems so."

Speaking of which, he was struck by a thought, glanced at the Half-demon, and continued to ask: "I heard some time ago that there will be a wager duel with demons in a few years, do you know the reason for it?"

"A wager duel?" Sword Obsession looked at him, puzzled, "I haven't heard of it."

Little Liu'er also shook her head: "Me neither."

It was Miss Qingfeng who seemed contemplative as she spoke: "Your place has fought a few wager duels with the Demon Court, with victories and losses on both sides."

"Based on the previous few, it's either a temporary truce, or a struggle for secret realms, treasures, and the like."

Half-demon Xiao Lan gave him a look, but did not speak. Her pure white tail subconsciously swirled a few times.

"Chen Er, are you going to participate in that wager duel?" Little Liu'er suddenly asked.

Miss Qingfeng also reacted: "You asked about this, could it be that you have been selected to duel with the demons?"

Sword Obsession widened his eyes: "Could it be that your cultivation has also reached the Divine Power Realm!?"

Also?

Chen Yi looked at him thoughtfully and speculated: "The agreed participants for that duel are the young generation; perhaps I have a chance of being selected."

"Don't!" Qing Feng immediately advised: "I suggest you'd better not get involved."

"Why is that?" Chen Yi was taken aback.

"Miss Qingfeng is right," Little Liu'er said with a touch of seriousness on her face:

"If you look at the past duels, even if the Human Race wins, there are few who end up with a good fate."

Sword Obsession nodded: "If I remember correctly, it was the Human Race that won the last wager duel."

"Ten duels: five wins, four losses, one draw. Guess the casualties?"

Chen Yi shook his head, as he had no way of guessing.

"In total, seven died, two were severely injured, one was crippled." Miss Qingfeng took over the conversation.

Chen Yi couldn't help but ask: "What about the demon side?"

"Slightly better, two Great Demon Kings survived."

"..."

Chen Yi frowned inwardly, glancing at the Half-demon.

No wonder Li Qingzhou had said that only a little more than ten thousand people from Tianyuan Continent survived up until now.

With such a rate of death, it was rare for so many to still be alive.

Xiao Lan bit her lips, a hint of inexplicable grievance on her face, but she still did not speak.

After a moment of silence.

Chen Yi laughed, "If that is the case, then I'm even more interested in participating."

"Ah."

The three people from Qingfeng exchanged glances, their expressions quite bizarre.

Even Sword Obsession, who was always obsessed with Sword Dao, shook his head and sighed with a hint of admiration: "Brother Chen Er, truly brave."

Little Liu'er echoed: "Indeed. Even I would hesitate upon hearing of that wager duel."

Qing Feng waved her hand, signaling the other two to speak less.

"Chen Er, I'll look into the specifics of that wager duel in a while, hoping it can help you."

"Thank you, Sister Qingfeng."

"Don't thank me yet, it's not for free."

Chen Yi: "..."

He knew it would be so.

But also because of Qingfeng's approach, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere wasn't so heavy.

Afterward, the group chatted briefly.

After Qingfeng, Sword Obsession, and Little Liu'er left, Xiao Lan finally spoke:

"You have seen that letter, haven't you?"

"Yes."

Chen Yi glanced at her, and several lines of ancient seal characters appeared in the Water Mirror.

"Then are you willing to help me escape the Demon Court?" Xiao Lan's tail shook more urgently.

Chen Yi thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't know you well enough."

Besides, the conditions were not sufficient.

The mere point of the Demon Court attacking south to assault Beixiong Pass was not enough to prompt him to rescue the Half-demon.

Xiao Lan guessed his thoughts: "What do you want to know?"

"Everything!"

Chen Yi's expression became more stern: "As a princess of the Demon Court, I don't believe that you would betray them just because you dislike the marriage to Emperor Tiger."

Xiao Lan looked at him blankly for a long time before lowering her head and saying: "I agree."

Chen Yi subtly raised an eyebrow; he almost equaled that to a rejection, unexpected that the Half-demon would agree.

"If that's the case, then let's wait until after the next grand assembly."

Before that, Chen Yi would remind Chen Taiping and others to be aware of movements in the Demon Court.

If necessary, he would personally head to Beixiong Pass...

...

The grand event is nearing, and the seventeen prefectures of the Wei Dynasty are bustling.

Ethnic groups such as sects, academies, families, and numerous Martial World guests from as far as Kyoto Prefecture have already set out toward the Capital City.

For instance, in state prefectures like Chuan Mansion, West River Prefecture, Jiangnan Prefecture, Beizhi, their figures could be seen everywhere along the official roads.

Sect, academy inheritors and disciples mostly rode fine horses, while monks and Daoists traveled on foot.

And those from noble families drove horned beasts, speeding along on the main roads.

Groups of three or five Martial World guests were not in a hurry, with many gathering at roadside inns, staying for a while.

Amidst laughter and chatter, naturally, the topic was about the upcoming grand event.

"The carriage that just passed was from the Wu family of Beizhi. I've heard that Wu Si, the fourth young master, apprenticed to Yuhua Immortal Sect, has now reached the Fourth Grade Spirit Aperture Realm."

"Just Fourth Grade? Can't even make it onto the Earthly List, how can he be called Heavenly Pride?"

"You must have missed the latest 'Heavenly Pride List', right? The current Earthly List First is Sun Xie Dongan, a monstrous talent close to the Void Extreme Realm!"

"The Fifteenth Prince Wei Nantian ranked second is no inferior in cultivation, and his spear skills have reached the Great Success Peak."

"And the third, Miss Lin Xueru, not only has exceptional talent. She is also ranked third among the 'Ten Taoist Immortals', placing within the top three on both lists."
