The improved female villains regained their memories.

------------------

A land governed by rules.

Song Panning, Wen Shihan, Li Chumo, and Jiang Mochang finally reached an agreement and prepared to break through this place.

Wen Shihan had cultivated at the Jixia Academy and was familiar with the rules of the place, so she was in charge of directing the formation. Song Panning assisted in constructing the formation, while Li Chumo used spatial power. Finally, Jiang Mochang opened the exit.

The four of them got right to it.

But during this process, Wen Shihan suddenly shuddered, his face turned pale, and he fell to the ground.

"what happened?"

"what happened to you?"

Something's not right!

Jiang Mochang swiftly approached and grabbed Wen Shihan's arm.

She saw Wen Shihan's body gradually breaking apart, his essence withering away.

The land of rules trembled, as if some rule had been violated, and a sudden burst of light enveloped Wen Shihan.

"What exactly happened?" Li Chumo asked.

“Any fatal injury we suffer will lead us to the Land of Rules, which will protect us from death. This is an agreement made by Yang Pingsheng and Bai Ze.” Jiang Mochang, who had seen through everything long ago, replied, “Wen Shihan suffered some kind of fatal injury, which triggered the rules. She can no longer leave.”

"She's been with us the whole time, how could she have been fatally injured?" Li Chumo asked, looking completely bewildered.

Song Panning was the first to react. She stepped forward, squatted down next to Wen Shihan, and asked, "Have you established some kind of connection with Yang Pingsheng or... you know what I mean?"

Wen Shihan felt a chill run through his body.

"He and I signed..."

"What did you sign?"

"Signed..."

------------------

"I'd give up my life for my brother, what does this matter?"

“Brother, I can help you. Whatever you ask, I will help you.”

"After all, I promised you back in the main world that I would stand by your side unconditionally."

"But brother, I have only one request."

"If you choose that path, you must sacrifice your life..."

"...Then, please sacrifice mine first."

Space trembled.

------------------

Now, space trembles.

Is it fate?

Or perhaps, a secluded place?

Wen Shihan felt only cold, a terrifying cold.

"You idiot!"

Upon hearing this, Song Panning angrily kicked Wen Shihan.

But she was weak and lost her footing, falling to the ground.

But she was still cursing: "Foolish, self-righteous, and you've been following him all this time. You should have realized this when you found out that Yang Pingsheng and Bai Ze had an agreement that was to protect us!"

Suddenly, Song Panning stopped talking. She gave a bitter smile and didn't continue cursing.

Ultimately, what right does she have to criticize Wen Shihan?

These villains are emotionally extreme and extremely arrogant, which is why they were manipulated by Yang Pingsheng, who knew them well.

At this moment, Jiang Mochang spoke up: "So, did Yang Pingsheng regain his memories or not?"

She didn't care what happened to Wen Shihan; she only cared whether Yang Pingsheng would remember her.

"It's probably not true. Bai Ze wouldn't have lied back then," Wen Shihan said weakly. At this point, she had no reason to keep it a secret any longer, so she told the whole story of traveling back in time. She coughed and said, "My brother most likely hasn't regained his memories, but now..."

She couldn't guarantee it anymore.

"He's really something else," Li Chumo exclaimed, before receiving glares from the three female villains.

"Whose side are you on?" "You're the one who's colluding with us, aren't you?" "Do you want to watch Yang Pingsheng die?" After being denounced by the three female villains, Li Chumo chose to shut up.

She chose to comply.

"Whether he has regained his memory or used some hidden place or something..." Jiang Mochang looked at them and concluded, "In any case, Wen Shihan definitely can't go out now."

Even worse, Wen Shihan is now in a state between the rules of taking someone else's place and not being allowed to die, and he can't even move.

Without Wen Shihan's help, Song Panning's grand formation is very likely to malfunction, and if the formation fails, they will be unable to leave this place.

Song Panning looked at Wen Shihan: "Can't you teach me by talking?"

"The Land of Rules is extremely complex; it took me several days to learn it on my own," Wen Shihan countered. "Even if I can teach you, can you understand it?"

"..." Song Panning was speechless. Not everyone has Wen Shihan's learning ability.

This is troublesome. Those villains who know Yang Pingsheng's true colors can't get out, while those villains outside who don't know Yang Pingsheng's true colors will be sent in sooner or later.

It turns out that their biggest enemy was neither Ling Tiandu nor Ye Buxin, but Yang Pingsheng.

“There is another way,” Jiang Mochang said. “Li Chumo, go and assist Song Panning in creating a spatial array to turn the nearby land of rules into a space.”

"What's the use of this?" Song Panning asked back.

“I can find a way to refine this space,” Jiang Mochang replied.

"and then?"

"Then we manipulate this space to break free from the rules and descend into the Netherworld."

It's a last resort, but it's the only way they can manage now.

"Are you sure you can refine it?" Song Panning asked.

Jiang Mochang did not answer.

She waved her hand and drew a symbol, answering Song Panning's question with her actions.

------------------

Xu Anlu and Ye Buxin were having a lively fight over there.

Xu Anyin pulled Yang Pingsheng and quickly retreated.

The layers of green chains suddenly vanished, leaving only darkness behind.

Xu Anyin became increasingly panicked as she flew. She already had little sense of space, and now that she was surrounded by darkness, she could only fly around aimlessly like a headless fly.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she suddenly heard Yang Pingsheng's weak voice.

"Xiao Yin".

"I'm here, Grand Tutor, what's wrong?" Xu Anyin answered cautiously.

"I can't move much, can you carry me?"

"it is good."

She carefully carried him on her back and continued flying into the darkness.

She suddenly felt a breath close to her ear and heard the voice say slowly, "Xiao Yin, you've grown a lot too."

------------------

Xu Anyin stopped.

She tilted her head slightly, unable to see the Grand Tutor's face clearly.

But she could sense he was there, so she said somewhat shyly, "Yes, I did make a lot of mistakes in the past..."

"To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue."

The voice chuckled with satisfaction and said, "If I were to explain the way of the king to you again, would you still be willing to listen?"

"Yes, of course I'm willing. When we get back, I'll listen attentively no matter how long the Grand Tutor talks to me!"

She really made a lot of mistakes in the past.

Blindly seeking revenge, blindly harming the Grand Tutor, and blindly becoming enemies with his sister.

She already knows she was wrong, she knows that the Grand Tutor's words make a lot of sense, and she knows that she is sometimes too willful.

She and her sister had already agreed that once everything was over, they would go together to see the Grand Tutor...

The darkness dissipated.

She looked up blankly.

The darkness dissipated, and she saw where she was standing.

It is the remnant body of the Netherworld that was surrounded and swallowed by the Great Void.

------------------

"Xiao Yin, promise me that when we get to the new world, you'll listen to your sister and be a good girl, okay?"

"Hey?"

------------------

puff.

The arm pierced through her chest.

Red hair flowing in the wind.

Pain swept through her body, and she stared in horror as she slowly turned her head.

"Grand Tutor?"
