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

The Taizhou Mountain Battlefield, White Emperor City.

Lou Yuchun was not wearing the Sect Leader's Daoist robe from the Wuliang Mountain of the Tianyuan Continent, but instead, had donned a soft armor crafted from unknown demon scales, with a red cape draped over it.

His features were handsome, and he bore an imposing presence.

Standing with hands behind his back on the northern city tower of White Emperor City, he gazed into the distance, but could only see a thousand miles and perceive divine intent for five thousand miles.

The area visible was all lush forests, thickets, and rivers large and small connected to the Netherworld River.

Hundreds of White Emperor City garrison soldiers in dark blue armor were scattered throughout this region of several thousand miles, cautiously searching the surroundings.

"Lu Chen sent a dozen demons at this time, what's his intention…"

Lou Yuchun's eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

Although White Emperor City was located behind the many strong cities of the Human Race, he felt no relief at all.

In some sense, the garrison commanders between the Earth Flame and Human Pole strong cities bore the same pressure, leaving no room for negligence.

A moment's carelessness, allowing demons from the Demon Court to slip into the garrison, would mean disaster for all the citizens and cultivators of the garrison.

If such demons were adept at disguise, replacing a soldier or commander and infiltrating the three strong cities, it would be an unmeasurable catastrophe for the entire Human Race.

Therefore, in all three strong cities and thirty garrisons, regardless of cultivation level, soldiers, commanders, or civilians were extremely cautious.

Any slight movement would be thoroughly investigated to prevent negligence leading to greater calamity.

At this moment, a young guard in dark blue armor and with a fair appearance quickly approached from outside the city tower, saluting and reporting:

"Reporting to General Lou, the scouts who went searching have found where the demons first appeared and used a Tracking Talisman to mark their path. They confirmed that the demons did not head towards our garrison after being seven thousand miles away from White Emperor City."

Lou Yuchun, without turning his head, asked in a calm tone, "Where did they go?"

"After dispersing and hiding on the spot for two incense sticks' time, they ambushed our scout squad from White Emperor City…" the person lowered his voice and said, "We found the bodies of two scouts there."

Upon hearing this, Lou Yuchun turned slightly to look at him, "What about the other scouts?"

The person hesitated for a moment, then pressed his lips and said, "The other three scouts were Gu Zhuo, Ji Binglan, and Yin Shunan from the Golden Feather Sect. Judging by their footprints, they were driven north by those demons, and now they likely are in grave danger."

Lou Yuchun frowned slightly, then retracted his gaze, still staring into the distance, his tone unwaveringly calm.

"Have them continue tracking the demons' movements to confirm whether they have returned to the Demon Court's frontline."

"Also, issue a command to give a honorable burial to the scout squad, reward them with a thousand gold, and additionally grant their family a Mystic Rank Technique, ensuring they are well settled."

"Yes."

The young guard received his orders and left without delay.

It wasn't long before.

Outside the city tower, two thick black smoke signals rose and transmitted the order to the soldiers searching to the north: continue pursuing the demons' trail.

Lou Yuchun glanced at it and then paid it no further attention.

The unique spiritual energy of Taizhou Mountain and its vastness greatly limited the perception and sound transmission range of even the Great Powers, thus increasing the challenge of communication between commanders and officers in the field.

Therefore, igniting demon smoke to transmit military commands became the most convenient and resource-saving method.

After all, those array plates and flags, or messenger birds, are very costly. If equipped for the entire army, the resource consumption for the Human Race would be great indeed.

As he thought of this, Lou Yuchun sighed silently to himself.

"The Taizhou Mountain Battlefield is indeed vast, with abundant resources and many secret realms, but if the Human Race is blocked here by the Demon Court for a thousand or ten thousand years, what then?"

"There will come a time when all the heavenly materials and treasures are exhausted, and if we cannot break through the Demon Court's blockade to the realm with countless territories in Taizhou Mountain by then, the Human Race will have only two paths left."

"One is to return to the Tianyuan Continent, counterattack the Ten Thousand Mountains, and then hold that realm, hoping to gather strength to return to Taizhou Mountain."

"The other is to be depleted by the Demon Court, culminating in a final battle. If we win, all is well, but if we lose…"

At this thought, Lou Yuchun turned to the south, his gaze penetrating countless obstructions, seemingly seeing that fortress guarding the Human Race, also the frontmost strong city of the Human Race's defense—Sky Dome.

Although the ancestors have been painstaking, this humble Taoist feels they have been overly defensive and lacking in aggression.

It has been a thousand years since the construction of the three strong cities and garrisons, and besides clearing the inner secret realms and building several towns for habitation, not a single person has broken through the Demon Court's blockade.

Truly...

"Huh?"

Before Lou Yuchun could finish his thought, four silhouettes suddenly appeared outside the range of his heart god perception.

Three of them, by their appearance, were the scouts Gu Zhuo, Ji Binglan, and Yin Shunan who were driven by demons towards the Netherworld River, but the last one...

The last one… The last one… Uh, this humble Taoist must be seeing things!

Lou Yuchun shook his head, rubbed his eyes, the calm and steadiness on his face collapsing significantly, muttering:

"How could that damn Chen Yi appear in Taizhou Mountain."

"Recently, I heard he exterminated the Yuhua Immortal Sect. Even if Emperor Wei does not punish him, the old riffraff from the Yuhua Immortal Sect and other Taoists would not let him go. Earlier, I also heard he sealed himself in the Grand Void Sect because of this…"
