I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 191 - 123: Glad That Senior Brother is Safe (Please Subscribe)
At this moment, the entire post station was already blanketed by the Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom.
"Damn ’Array Ghost’, old coot Cen Yu!"
Xie Changle cursed under his breath while joining hands with the Chu Family disciples to fend off the legion of demons surrounding them.
Earlier, when the "Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom" manifested, he had been separated from the Chu Family disciples by Cen Yu.
Subsequently, various changes in the environment ensued.
First came the desert, with the scorching sun overhead and the sweltering heat assaulting them.
Xie Changle was so hot that sweat soaked his back, and even circulating his True Yuan brought no relief.
If it hadn’t been for a martial artist among the Chu Family guards cultivating the Water Element Technique, who intermittently protected them, perhaps they would have perished in the first Fire Evil Illusion Realm.
Next came the Water Evil, with everyone being engulfed by a vast ocean.
At the critical moment, it was still the Chu Family group that managed to pull out a small boat, allowing them to survive.
Then came the Earth Evil, a mountain of blades...
Having experienced various malevolent transformations in the Illusion Realm, Xie Changle wished he could tear the one who arranged this Array, Cen Yu, into pieces.
It was the first time he regretted not having practiced diligently on Sword Edge Mountain, resulting in facing such a dire calamity now.
If only he possessed Chen Yi’s strength, or even had the Sword Dao Great Success like Hua Youxiang, he would easily sweep through the Big Formation’s Illusion Realm.
Beside him,
Chu Ming and the others stood among the guards, their expressions ugly, asking those demons:
"Elder Brother Changle, do you think we can survive this crisis?"
As Xie Changle brandished his sword to block an oncoming demon, he thrust his sword into its skull with a backhand stroke, replying with certainty:
"We definitely can!"
Though his words carried some unfounded confidence, he was clear about one thing—if Chen Yi and the others were to fall, they would have been long dead.
Chu Ming nodded, sighing: "I wonder how the situation outside is. The Young Marquis simply must not encounter any mishap."
"Why the hell are you flapping your gums when you could be lending a hand?" Xie Changle snapped in frustration.
After enduring so many Illusion Realms, either he stepped up or the Chu Family guards did.
Yet, not a single Chu Family Disciple, whether young masters or young ladies, lifted a finger.
Even though several guards died in the process, Chu Ming, Chu Waner, and the other two just watched.
What irked Xie Changle inside was that he could sense these Chu Family Disciples all possessed solid cultivation, and it wasn’t weak.
The leading Chu Ming aside, the cultivation levels of Chu Chen, Chu Waner, and Chu Qing were all at the Fifth Grade Core Formation Realm. With such strength, they were much more formidable than most of the Chu Family guards.

Yet they did nothing but stand by and watch.
On the contrary, him, a True Disciple from Grand Void Sect of Sword Edge Mountain, bustled about like a loyal and dedicated Chu Family guard.
Chu Ming was stunned upon hearing that, then glanced at the middle-aged guard called Uncle Wang, who kept shaking his head. With a sigh of helplessness, he said:
"Sorry, Elder Brother Changle, it’s not convenient for us to engage others at the moment."
Xie Changle glanced sideways and frowned: "These are clearly demons we’re facing, not people."
He was holding back, or else the phrase "Are you blind?" would definitely have slipped out.
Chu Ming: "..."
He mumbled with his lips, wanting to explain but not knowing how.
Chu Chen, who was more forthright, retorted: "Elder Brother Changle, we Chu Family are born with clear principles; there is a reason for our actions."
Hearing this, the expressions of Chu Ming and Chu Waner changed slightly, thinking to themselves, this is bad.
Then they saw Xie Changle sheath his sword and step back, allowing the demonic illusions to rush forward, and said with a sneer:
"Are you suggesting I’m unreasonable?"
Chu Chen was taken aback, "I didn’t..."
Before he could finish, Chu Waner quickly covered his mouth, apologizing to Xie Changle while gesturing to the guards beside her to step forward and fill the gap.
Chu Waner, seeing this, also spoke up, "My younger brother speaks carelessly; I hope Elder Brother Changle will forgive him."
She noticed Xie Changle remained indifferent and continued to explain:
"Our brothers and sisters are en route to the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm, and to prevent our cultivation from being insufficient, we ingested our family’s secret medicine before departing."
"If we engage in battle, much of the medicine’s efficacy might dissipate..."
Then Xie Changle understood. Each noble family has its rules, indeed possessing secret medicine that can boost cultivation.
The Grand Void Sect also has similar secret medicines, all with various restrictions. The greater the increase in cultivation from the medicine, the greater the damage to one’s potential, not to be taken lightly.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t just be the four of them on this journey to the Southern Barbarians; Hua Youxiang and the siblings Du Yanqing could have come along too.
However, those of noble birth always have this obnoxious trait, covering everything up.
They hide and hoard anything good, afraid it will attract unwanted attention.
Thinking this, Xie Changle glared at them, saying irritably: "Why didn’t you say so earlier? Wouldn’t that have been better?"
"Did you think the Grand Void Sect would, like the ’Twelve Blood Droplets’, assault you?"
Chu Ming and Chu Waner exchanged a look, laughing awkwardly: "Naturally, it’s impossible for our fellow senior brothers, haha."
If Chen Yi had made a move, they would have been long dead.
Not to mention their inability to freely exercise their Cultivation Techniques, even if they could fight, it would result in instant death by the sword.
With the misunderstanding cleared.
Xie Changle looked around at the demons constantly being killed and then reappearing from nothingness and once again drew his sword to join the fray.
Elsewhere, Xiao Xuanzhen, also within the Great Formation of All-Encompassing Doom, had passed through several Illusion Realms.
Though she was alone, with her cultivation and techniques, the malignant energies of the Big Formation couldn’t harm her at all.
But as time passed, Xiao Xuanzhen’s face grew uglier and her eyes filled with anxiety.
She wasn’t afraid of evil demons’ attacks; the Taixu Eight Skills were designed for combat.
Whether against demons or Evil Demons, at least one of the Eight Skills would be able to overcome the enemy.
What worried her was the Fairy Hua Xianzi who was on her own, the Fire-Wood Daoist Technique of Dan Peak Mountain was strong, but there were methods to counter it.
