Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm

“Since you’ve achieved such a level in the path of talisman forging, there’s no need for you to follow my guidance. Let your senior sister take you to meet the other senior brothers.”

“Yes.”

As Jiang Li invisibly followed Yu Feng, he simultaneously opened the system store, searching for items from the Ancient World.

The system store couldn’t traverse the path of time, so it sold items from Jiang Li’s world. However, Jiang Li could roughly deduce what this world had based on what the system store was selling.

“There’s almost nothing related to the Immortal Realm? How interesting.” Jiang Li scoffed coldly. Objects from the Immortal Realm would typically endure, becoming worn over time was normal. However, to say that they would disappear, even thirty-six thousand years wouldn’t be enough to do that.

“This is your fourth senior brother.”

“Hello, little junior brother.” The fourth senior brother was a brawny man, carefree and seemingly unable to keep secrets.

Only Yu Feng knew that the fourth senior brother wasn’t incapable of secrecy, but rather too adept at it.

He had once painstakingly resolved the issues with the third senior brother, thinking he could save the senior sister and Master, only to find the fourth senior brother plotting against the Master. He secretly poisoned the Master, lured wolves into the fold, and plundered the Master’s wealth.

“Hello, is fourth senior brother also studying the path of talisman from Master?”

Fourth senior brother laughed heartily: “I don’t have the talent to learn the path of talisman. I can only follow Master’s teachings and diligently practice cultivation.”

Yu Feng thought to himself how ‘diligent’ he would be, not being so diligent when he betrayed Master for the sake of his own gains.

“How are you doing with your talent in the path of talisman?”

“Average.”

“Work hard.” Fourth senior brother patted Yu Feng’s shoulder in encouragement.

“Senior sister, does the sect provide clothes? My shirt is a bit worn out.” Yu Feng asked.

Senior Sister Wu Lian slapped her forehead: “Ah, I forgot about that. I’ll get you a new one when we return.”

The fourth senior brother sent them off with a smile, his face immediately darkened, a tracking mark had been left on Yu Feng’s clothes from the palm of his hand.

Although he seemed to be a sturdy man, he was actually meticulous and liked to have everything under his control, even as far as the whereabouts of the new junior brother.

He hadn’t expected Yu Feng to change clothes.

“Did he notice?” The fourth senior brother was confident in his methods, believing it was not something Yu Feng could discern.

“Is it a coincidence, or are his cultivation techniques peculiar?”

For safety reasons, neither Senior Sister Wu Lian nor Daoist Tong Chen revealed Yu Feng’s ability to turn catastrophe into luck.

“This is your fifth senior brother.”

“So this is Master’s new junior brother? Here, first meeting, I’ll give you a small gift.” The fifth senior brother was generous. He was tending to the spirit plants and seeing Wu Lian and Yu Feng coming, he stood up and pulled out a ‘Spirit Plant Manual’, giving it to Yu Feng.

“Thank you, senior brother!” Like every time he met the fifth senior brother, Yu Feng received a tattered ‘Spirit Plant Manual’.

Yu Feng knew that a cultivation technique was hidden within the ‘Spirit Plant Manual’. It was fast progressing at the initial stage of cultivation, enticing people to cultivate, but once this technique was cultivated, one had to be controlled by the fifth senior brother.

The fifth senior brother was a disciple of another Nascent Soul Cultivator. He was lurking here with Daoist Tong Chen, hoping to find a chance to cooperate from the inside, and finish off Daoist Tong Chen with his real master.

The fifth senior brother was a cautious man who didn’t want to risk communicating with his real master himself, so he needed to control someone else to connect with his real master.

When Yu Feng had cultivated this technique and thought that his luck had finally turned, only to discover in the end, that he was just a puppet of the fifth senior brother.

Yu Feng wasn’t controlled. He relayed Daoist Tong Chen’s weaknesses to the outsiders, was discovered by Daoist Tong Chen and killed, forever unable to forget the look of disappointment from Senior Sister Wu Lian.

Later on, Yu Feng learned his lesson and never touched the ‘Spirit Plant Manual’ again. The fifth senior brother communicated his message in other ways. Daoist Tong Chen and Senior Sister Wu Lian never managed to escape their tragic fate.

“Does the fifth senior brother like spirit plants?” Yu Feng asked curiously.

“Yes, your fifth senior brother simply likes to play around with these flowers and plants.” Senior Sister Wu Lian spoke in a not-so-pleasant tone, believing that the fifth senior brother gave up too early on the path of the talisman and turned to the path of spirit plants.

Yu Feng knew that the fifth senior brother was not merely playing with flowers and plants. He used the root system of the spirit plants to construct a large formation. Once activated, it could weaken the power of Daoist Tong Chen’s talisman. Whether it was the third senior brother inviting the master’s enemies or the fourth senior brother inviting the wolves, Daoist Tong Chen was defeated largely due to the fifth senior brother’s formation.

Yu Feng only discovered the fifth senior brother’s little movements after dying several dozen times.

“Do the people in this world ever think about cultivating? They are busy scheming all day, do they even have the time to cultivate?” Bai Hongtu was surprised, and he’d never thought about using the root system of the spirit plants to construct a formation.

Wouldn’t it be better for everyone to quietly cultivate? Why waste time on these schemes?

Can scheming defeat Jiang Li? If it can, count me in.

“That seems like a good method.” Bai Hongtu got an idea from this, hung up the Remote Communication Talisman hurriedly, and went to put his idea into practice.

Bai Hongtu didn’t continue paying attention to Yu Feng’s affairs. After all, with Jiang Li there, what could possibly go wrong?

Jiang Li also didn’t know what idea Bai Hongtu had up his sleeve. Just as long as he didn’t cause an uproar in Jiuzhou, it would be fine.

“With Immortal Changcun keeping an eye out, nothing should go wrong.” Jiang Li muttered to himself. He didn’t trust Bai Hongtu but held complete faith in Immortal Changcun.

When it didn’t involve Lady Red Dust, Immortal Changcun was a reliable and omniscient old immortal in Jiang Li’s eyes.

“You’ve met all three senior brothers now. They are all good people, aren’t they?” Senior Sister Wu Lian brought Yu Feng to her little courtyard and took out clothes suitable for Yu Feng’s size.

“Yes, all the senior brothers are good people.” Yu Feng said reluctantly.

When he first met his three senior brothers, he thought they were all friendly and kind-hearted people.

“What about second senior brother? Why didn’t we see him?”

“He’s an ungrateful wretch! Don’t mention him!” When the topic of the second senior brother came up, Wu Lian’s lovely face turned cold. She wasn’t willing to talk about it and an uncommon hint of killing intent appeared.

Yu Feng actually knew what the second senior brother had done. Having met the third, fourth, and fifth senior brothers, and without the second senior brother, he purposely asked questions to show a normal response.

“What did your second senior brother do?” Jiang Li asked.

“He used to be the disciple that Master valued the most, who was supposed to inherit his legacy. Unfortunately, his intentions were not pure. He learned a devouring cultivation technique that could devour cultivation, for his own cultivation. During Master’s breakthrough, he instructed Senior Sister Wu Lian and the second senior brother to guard. The second senior brother took the opportunity to apply the cultivation technique and tried to devour Master.”

“Master’s cultivation was profound and blocked the devouring cultivation technique. The second senior brother’s plot failed, but unfortunately, he was still injured internally damaging his foundation, and has been difficult to heal.”

“The second senior brother saw the situation was going bad, he hastily fled and has never resurfaced since.”

“Senior Sister Wu Lian has always blamed herself, saying that she should’ve reacted faster.”

“…Your master and Senior Sister Wu Lian are so normal it’s a bit uncomfortable for me.”
