The improved female villains regained their memories.

It turns out that some people only need to meet a few times to be loved for a lifetime.

Chapter 171 The End

Inside the main hall, Su Murong knelt below, refusing to raise his head for a long time.

Wang Tiande looked at her, pondered for a long time, and then said, "I understand what you mean."

He raised his hand, gesturing for Su Murong to get up, then went to get the marching map, leaving her behind: "Open it."

Su Murong obediently complied. Wang Tiande pointed to the Donglin area and said, "If we can take Guan Yunpeng's head, I will agree to your request."

Su Murong's visit to Yang Pingsheng had already been reported to Wang Tiande by his subordinates. It was clear to everyone that Su Murong cared a lot about this man named Yang Pingsheng. Although Yang Pingsheng had ruined his plans, Wang Tiande didn't mind helping him out.

Firstly, his daughter also possessed cultivation; secondly, if he could take this opportunity to subdue Yang Pingsheng, it would also boost his own power.

Although that's what he thought, Wang Tiande didn't intend to easily satisfy Su Murong.

Guan Yunpeng is currently entrenched in Donglin, and his power is unknown. Wang Tiande needs someone to test the waters, but it would be a bit of a waste to send a trusted confidant. Su Murong, who has a history of betrayal, is the perfect candidate.

“I’ve placed the Immortal Killing Technique, the Mother-Child Seal, on him. If you can bring back Guan Yunpeng’s head, I can transfer the authority of the Mother-Child Seal to you. However, if you don’t bring back Guan Yunpeng’s head, but you figure out the situation over there, I don’t mind giving the person you care about a chance.”

Wang Tiande spoke with a smile, not making any definitive statements.

The situation is unclear at the moment, and Guan Yunpeng has his own methods, so Wang Tiande doesn't hold out much hope.

Su Murong didn't say anything, but simply lowered his head and said, "I will definitely complete the task entrusted to me by my godfather."

"There's no need to force yourself. Safety should be the priority. Go ahead."

"Yes."

Wang Tiande watched her turn and leave, his steps unwavering.

The strategist emerged from the shadows and warned him, "General, she's an alchemist. What if her abilities suddenly surge, and then..."

"will not."

Wang Tiande was well aware of Su Murong's strength.

She wasn't some cultivation genius, and her alchemy skills were just average; otherwise, she wouldn't have relied on improving the Five-Colored Powder technique to attract his attention.

Therefore, it's impossible for her to suddenly increase her cultivation strength and turn the tables on herself. Even if she takes the path of alchemy, the success rate of immortal pills is very low. Not to mention that she doesn't have a teacher to guide her into the field, Su Murong doesn't even know what alchemy materials are. She can't even refine a fourth-grade mortal pill right now, let alone an immortal pill of the sixth grade or higher.

The strategist was still somewhat uneasy: "I think Su Murong is dressed simply, but she has an extraordinary appearance. Although she is a woman, she walks with an imposing manner, as if she is accompanied by dragons and tigers. It is hard to imagine that such a person would be subordinate to someone else. General, you should make a decision as soon as possible."

“I want to conquer the Central Plains and seize the world, and this is the time when I need talented people,” Wang Tiande said. “Besides, I know Su Murong. She was just a refugee who escaped back then. If I hadn’t saved her, she would have died under the sword long ago. Now that she has someone to rely on, she won’t have any other thoughts. Let her go, and let’s see how strong she is now.”

Since Wang Tiande had said so, the strategist could not say anything more.

Indeed, Su Murong values ​​money and interests, and he doesn't have any outstanding talents. Even though he has the potential to awaken to become an immortal, he is still considered to be in the lower-middle range.

However, as he watched Su Murong walk away, he still felt somewhat worried.

Su Murong returned to his military tent, packed his things quickly, and then left with his pack and Little Zhuque.

She asked for a horse and slowly rode away from the military camp, standing on a small hill, gazing into the distance.

Below, the military camps stretched out in a continuous line, and when the wind blew, they looked like a surging green sea.

She looked at the palace that rose abruptly in the very center, her gaze piercing through layers of barriers and landing directly on the dungeon.

"doctor……"

She held the horse's reins, her eyes filled with an unprecedented awareness.

"I will save you, and then we will stay together forever."

The little Vermilion Bird fluttered its wings, landed on her shoulder, and asked, "My lord, where are we going?"

"kill."

Without lingering, she turned her horse around.

The little Vermilion Bird chirped and flew into her pocket, then asked, "Who are we going to kill?"

"who cares."

The horses neighed and then galloped off, kicking up clouds of dust.

"I don't care, it's none of my business who dies."

"I just want to save my doctor."

-------

Tick.

The heavy eyelids barely opened a tiny gap.

The wound on his palm seemed to have been treated, and he was no longer restricted, but he was still wearing that prison uniform and locked up in the cell.

It was still so cold and damp. Yang Pingsheng forced himself to sit up and realized that he was lying on the ground.

It's not the same cell as before; it seems to have been moved to a different one.

The smell was unpleasant; the ground was covered with piles of thatch, the walls smelled rotten, and insects crawled around every now and then.

The mark on his neck throbbed with pain from time to time. Yang Pingsheng touched it and subconsciously called out, "System."

No sound.

Yang Pingsheng's heart skipped a beat: "System?"

There was still no sound.

He tried to call out again, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his soul. He fell to the ground with a thud, curling up in pain.

"This, this..."

His tongue went numb from the pain, and he couldn't even speak coherently. Just then, the ball of light appeared and landed in front of him.

"I'm sorry, Pingsheng, I've tried my best to relieve your pain, but the final steps of the plan are unavoidable."

The fourth female villain, a shameless person who prioritizes profit above all else.

The system stated from the very beginning that Heaven's Dao planned to change the female villain from three aspects.

"First of all, the method of drawing talismans based on popularity is the main reason why Su Murong is out of control later, so we must not let her get it."

"Secondly, we need to slow down Su Murong's growth, at least we can't let her have such a deep grasp of human nature as in the original plot, to the point that it reaches the level of art."

"Finally, in the original storyline, Su Murong had a team, including barbarians, demons, and monsters. They had to be eliminated one by one so that she would never have the chance to meet them again."

"Now, the first and third are finished, only the second is left."

"The key to completing the second one lies in fear. You need to make her fear human nature so that she dares not have any improper thoughts."

"So, how do we make her fear of humanity?"

The ball of light spoke as it slowly approached, its light falling and reflecting on Yang Pingsheng's face, clearly revealing his pained expression.

"The answer is actually very simple: it's the ugliness of human nature."

"When she discovers how ugly humanity is, and that such ugliness is in her own blood, she will naturally be afraid."

A mysterious energy was brewing, and the sphere of light began to slowly push this energy towards Yang Pingsheng.

"I am sorry, my life."

"This is necessary for the sake of the plan."

"I told you a long time ago that it would hurt a little in the end."

"I hope... you don't mind."

Chapter 172 Seal of Mother and Child

No one expected that Su Murong would actually kill Guan Yunpeng.

When she threw Guan Yunpeng's head into the palace, the entire hall was eerily quiet.

People stared in astonishment at the young girl standing there respectfully, who had gone alone into Donglin, killed a leader of a powerful faction, and brought back his head.

Yes, Guan Yunpeng is indeed a mortal, but his subordinates are not. The Guan family army prioritizes loyalty and righteousness, and even those subordinates who possess the qualities of immortals still remain loyal to him.

Not to mention his daughter, Guan Hongyi, who is also of divine talent. It is said that she is about to cultivate her spiritual root through exploration.

Under these circumstances, Su Murong actually succeeded.

Even Wang Tiande hadn't expected this.

He ordered his men to bring the head up, examined it closely, and finally discovered that it was indeed the head of his former colleague, without any fakery. He burst into laughter.

"Hehehe, hahahahaha, good, good, good!!"

Wang Tiande couldn't stop smiling.

"My son, well done! Hahahahahahaha!!!"

In Wang Tiande's mind, Guan Yunpeng was the only one worthy of being his enemy. Now that Guan Yunpeng is dead, everyone else is nothing but chickens and dogs, and no one can stop him anymore.

His gaze toward Su Murong was filled with satisfaction. Perhaps because he was too happy, he didn't think for a moment about how Su Murong, who was not a cultivation genius, had completed the task. He didn't even ask about the details. He simply said, "My son has made such a great contribution. How should I reward you?"

"To share your burdens, Father, I have no desires." Su Murong bowed deeply. "I only ask that my godfather grant my wishes."

"This one……"

Wang Tiande hesitated instead.

It's not that he wanted to go back on his word. In his heart, Su Murong had helped him get rid of his most important enemy, so Yang Pingsheng was no more important to him. He could just give her the mere cultivation power of a Void Spirit Root.

His subordinates reported that Yang Pingsheng went mad on the very day Su Murong left.

They've gone mad, or you could say they've become stupid; to use a more specific term, they've experienced mental degeneration.

His mental age had become that of a seven or eight-year-old, and he wouldn't listen to anyone. He was always making a fuss and driving the guards crazy.

Wang Tiande hesitated because he was worried that Su Murong might have other ideas after learning about the situation. After all, it was the first time he had used the Mother-Child Seal killing move, and it was hard to say that Yang Pingsheng's situation was not caused by him.

Seeing no response for a while, Su Murong thought the other party had changed their mind, and almost anxiously asked tentatively, "Godfather?"

"Hehehe, my son, of course I understand your request. A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. I will not go back on my promise. I will transfer control of the Mother-Child Seal to you."

“No need, Godfather.” Su Murong said decisively, “I don’t want to control others, especially him. I only ask that Godfather take back the Mother-Child Seal and set him free.”
