I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 101 - 85: The Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom (Please Subscribe)
"Wen Renhong, it’s actually you!?"
The Sword Dominator Sect Master Duan Zhendong stared at the hunched figure not far away, his rough face brimming with murderous intent.
"Where is Su Baimo?!"
The now-unmasked Wen Renhong had a hunched figure, a pale and gaunt face, with a pair of long and narrow, yet spirited, eyes.
"Sword Dominator Sect Master, that’s a good question, I too would like to know where Su Baimo has gone."
"Why don’t you visit the Netherworld Road and ask for me? That would also put my doubts to rest."
"Courting death!"
Anger flashed across Duan Zhendong’s face as he reached back to draw the nine-ringed broadsword and charged at him.
"So eager to seek death?"
Wen Renhong spoke unhurriedly, "Then I’m afraid you will be disappointed."
As his words fell, Duan Zhendong only felt a blur before his eyes and when he looked again, the other figures around him had vanished.
Not only could he not see Wen Renhong, but the Ba Dao Sect members who were behind him had also disappeared.
"Dammit, it’s an Array!"
At this moment, Chen Yi also saw a golden light emerge before him as a panel suddenly appeared.
[At the age of 35, with a Cultivation reaching the 7th rank and Sword Dao Great Success, you are trapped within the Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom, rebellion point +3]
[The "Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom" originates from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Evil Formation, created by ancient demons, condenses the five elements, draws upon the power of malice and doom to slaughter all directions]
[The level of the "Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom" is below average in Array Dao, its influence has been eliminated, rebellion points +6]
"Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom?"
A sense of urgency sprang in Chen Yi’s heart, and he quickly signaled Sun Zhengqiu and the others to close in on him.
The nuns from Hengshan Sect, without overthinking, also gathered around him.
After all, besides those from sects, most people here were lone Martial World travelers and members of the Night Watch Department.
Compared to those, the nuns trusted Chen Yi, the distinguished member of the Grand Void Sect, even more.
As everyone was in chaos, a wisp of fog quietly drifted in from somewhere around them.
In just a brief moment, the fog covered everyone completely.
They could only see clearly the scenery within a distance of ten feet.
"Junior Brother Chen, this is an Array!" Cheng Yunfei warned.
"It’s likely the handiwork of ’Array Ghost’ Cen Yu," Sun Zhengqiu said defensively as he looked around, "I’m afraid he had laid out the Array here long before we arrived."
Chen Yi did not respond; the "Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom" affected others, but it had no hindrance on him.
Hence, his gaze settled on Su Baimo, the Hero of Jiangnan, who no longer concealed his identity.
He had an epiphany.
Not only was the Array laid out in advance, but even the arrival of the "Demoness" Wen Renying and the "Mad Old Man" Feng Shan here seemed to be part of the plan.
Without his involvement, without the great battle between him and the Mad Old Man, the demons would probably still find ways to lure the Jianghu Guests of Jiangnan Prefecture here.
Thinking deeper.
Since the "Hero of Jiangnan" Su Baimo was impersonated by Wen Renhong of the Bai Shen Sect.
Was his duel appointment with the Sword Dominator Sect Master Duan Zhendong also part of the plan?
Its purpose...
Chen Yi glanced at the Jianghu Guests who were watching from a distance and also trapped in the Array, and involuntarily frowned slightly.
Without hesitation, he immediately took out two Nourishing Yuan Pills from his Sumeru Bag and tossed them into his mouth to accelerate the recovery of the Primeval Gang Qi.
"Stick together, hold hands, and prevent being separated by the Array."
Although Chen Yi was unclear on the specific effects of the "Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom."
But seeing Duan Zhendong’s disoriented behavior, mere steps from Wen Renhong, he surmised that this Array had the capability to trap certain targets.
"What are you going to do, Junior Brother?" Cheng Yunfei’s expression changed.
Although the strength of those from the Grand Void Sect and Hengshan Sect present here was not weak, they were far weaker than Wen Renhong and Duan Zhendong.
Without Chen Yi’s protection, they might all be in life-threatening danger.
Even Sun Zhengqiu transmitted a message, "Your Excellence, your subordinate wishes to be of service."
It was not that he feared the Young Marquis would abandon them; he was just concerned that the Young Marquis, having just been through a major battle, might make a misstep if he acted rashly.
Instead of letting the Young Marquis go alone, Sun Zhengqiu thought it would be better to accompany him.
"Take care of yourselves, I am right here."
With those words, Chen Yi stepped out of their sight but did not go far.
He just stood on the side, wanting to see if Wen Renhong of the Bai Shen Sect would notice his presence.
This would determine his next course of action.
Seeing this, Sun Zhengqiu and the others looked at each other; though helpless, they chose to trust Chen Yi at this moment.
"Members of the Grand Void Sect, follow me."
At that time, a nun from Hengshan Sect named Hui Ming whispered, "I know a way to see clearly around us, let’s first move away a bit."
Cheng Yunfei and the two others were overjoyed and quickly follow her in the direction away from Wen Renhong.
"Master Hui Ming, can you see where my Junior Brother is?" Cheng Yunfei did not forget to inquire about Chen Yi’s whereabouts.
"Mm."
Hui Ming nodded and softly said, "He’s standing not far away, in front of those Bai Shen Sect people."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengqiu urged, "Let’s move further away, so we won’t be affected by the upcoming battle."
He had no choice but to be cautious.
The terrifying sight from the recent battle between the Young Marquis and the "Mad Old Man" during the Feng Shan ceremony was still vivid before his eyes.
Especially the bald stumps all around and the several layers of soil that had been shaved off made his hair stand on end just thinking about it.
If they were caught up in the battle, they could be grievously injured by the Young Marquis’ Sword Qi even if they weren’t killed by the enemy.
"Let’s go, let’s go..."
Chen Yi had already noticed the movements of Sun Zhengqiu and his three companions, as well as the group of nuns, but he didn’t pay them any attention.
After a brief probing, he had discovered that people like Wen Renhong of the Bai Shen Sect also had some influence within this "Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom."
At the very least, he could be sure that Wen Renhong wouldn’t be able to detect his presence immediately.
It was even more likely that the "Array Ghost," Cen Yu, who was hidden and controlling the formation, had revealed those who were planning to make a move on Wen Renhong in front of him.
With that realization, Chen Yi silently retreated towards where Sun Zhengqiu and the others were.
He wasn’t unwilling to attack Wen Renhong, but at the moment, his Xuan Gang energy hadn’t fully recovered, making it imprudent to strike prematurely.
Moreover, with the Bai Shen Sect’s goals still unclear, rather than taking the lead and revealing himself, it was better to wait for an opportune moment to strike.
...
"Haha, with so many witnesses here today, my meticulous calculations have not been in vain."
At this moment, a hint of pride appeared on Wen Renhong’s pale face, as he could faintly see the silhouettes of the people around him.
While not clear, it was enough to ensure his safety.
"Go on, let these Jianghu guests witness what the real Martial World is like."
As soon as he finished speaking, those behind him dressed in elegant white robes abruptly transformed.

Some expanded their bodies several times over, morphing into bear-like creatures with human heads and a pair of claws a foot long, gleaming with sharpness.
Some had their hands turn into two pythons, with triangular heads and indifferent vertical pupils, flicking their tongues occasionally.
Others grew wings on their backs and took to the skies with a few flaps.
After revealing their true forms, these people grinned maliciously and pounced towards the Jianghu guests behind them.
As for the people from Ba Dao Sect and the Night Watch Department, Wen Renhong just glanced at them before chuckling and walking towards the Longevity Bridge.
"Just live a little longer, once I acquire the Drought Corpse’s body and smelt those Corpse Evils, it won’t be too late to clean up after you."
Hearing his voice, Qu Daoming’s face turned ugly.
Despite all his calculations, he hadn’t anticipated that the Bai Shen Sect’s goals were not limited to the Drought Corpse – they also wanted everyone’s lives!
Had he known this, he wouldn’t have agreed to the strategy of the Jiangnan Prefecture Governor and should have reported to the Kyoto Prefecture earlier.
"Capital Commandant, what should we do now?" a Silver Flag Order asked, looking around at the thick fog and listening to the distant sounds of fighting.
"Try to break the formation. If the Array remains unbroken, we can only wait for them to find us."
Amidst the conversation, Qu Daoming’s expression grew colder.
Taoist Formations possessed unpredictable powers.
If it was one’s own people, it would be fine, but as enemies, they were indeed a headache.
However, the members of the Ba Dao Sect were not as composed as those from the Night Watch Department.
They could hear the furious voice of Duan Zhendong, and in their anxiety, they gathered together to explore the surroundings.
But almost every step they took, one of their comrades would mysteriously vanish, until, in the end, each one was lost in the vast Illusion Realm.
Some encountered flash floods, swinging their swords and being swept away in the current.
Others were struck by lightning, their True Yuan shattered and their clothing charred and torn.
And some found themselves in bamboo groves, with falling leaves sharp as darts, slicing bloodied tracks across their bodies.
Contrasted with them, Duan Zhendong, who was receiving special attention, was in an even more sorry state.
Thick fog surrounded him, and despite wielding his longsword and manifesting his Sword Intent, nothing changed.
Instead, as the Sword Qi flew out, occasional screams of agony followed, angering him yet rendering him unable to swing his sword carelessly.
He could only curse helplessly.
"Wen Renhong, you wait for me!"
...
At the same time, Zhan Hongxiu and Master Lianxin were also embroiled in intense battle.
"The Overlord Sword Hongxiu~ is just like this, huh~"
Wen Renying, still enchanting in her movements, licked her fingernail and said coquettishly, "How could such weak Sword Intent be listed on the Heavenly Pride List?"
Beside her, the "Poison Widow" Zhu Siniang tossed away two pieces of torn clothing and laughed playfully, "Maybe the Grand Void Sect bribed the compilers of the Heavenly Pride List?"
"Hehehe~ Sister Zhu said exactly what’s on my mind~"
Zhan Hongxiu glanced at the wound on her shoulder and exchanged a knowing look with Master Lianxin before nodding silently.
"I’ll leave it to you, Sister Lianxin."
"Rest assured, Senior Sister Zhan, Lianxin will not let the Array impede you."
The two had initially thought they were entering a simple Concealing Array.
But before they could locate the "Demoness" Wen Renying and others, the formation suddenly changed.
From an ordinary Concealing Array to a terrifying Array filled with the aura of doom.
"The Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom is a technique Bai Shen Sect learned from demons."
"It must be what that Wuliang Mountain renegade learned after leaving Wuliang Mountain."
Zhan Hongxiu nodded slightly, and with a shake of her longsword, she unleashed her domineering Unrivaled Sword Intent with full force.
"Sister Lianxin, I’m going in!"
