The improved female villains regained their memories.

"Currently, the only information available is about these four female villains. I have received a message from the Heavenly Dao that this crisis has surpassed the sum of all previous crises. The female villains you see are just the ones that have been revealed so far."

At this point, even Ling Tiandu felt a little irritated.

She had anticipated the severity of the crisis long ago, but she never imagined it would be this difficult.

The Heavenly Dao's instructions became more frequent and increasingly chaotic, even making mistakes in some areas. The deeper Ling Tiandu's calculations went, the more he felt that the Heavenly Dao's arrangements were no longer sufficient to handle everything. Those who came to attack the Protectorate Sect this time were probably no ordinary people.

Even considering the four individuals currently in existence, despite having already deduced their situation, Ling Tiandu dared not send anyone to kill them without authorization. She calculated that there were 53,200 proactive attacks, all of which ended in failure.

Take this guy named Luo Benmo for example. In the calculation, Ling Tiandu put all the pressure on everyone and had the existing protectors suppress Luo Benmo's abilities. As a result, this guy suddenly exploded, directly comprehended the truth, and defeated everyone.

This is just Luo Benmo; the same applies to others such as Wen Shihan, Xu Anlu, and Su Murong. In the deduction, Wen Shihan's vitality is too strong; no matter what, he cannot be killed by cunning (and might even be countered). Xu Anlu might draw out the royal family's resistance forces earlier than expected. As for Su Murong, she holds a powerful move; if she is pushed to the limit and unleashes that humanitarian ultimate move, not only will the protectors not survive, but widespread devastation is certain.

None of these four people are easy to deal with.

Whether it's Ling Tiandu's deduction or the Heavenly Dao's hint, the best solution is to wait for them to attack, but we must not sit idly by. We must lay the groundwork and foreshadowing, and finally make a plan to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

There is only one way to win, so we must not be careless or negligent. Ling Tiandu took a deep breath and said, "I will trouble the God of Wine and Mu Xiaobai to make this trip to Tianren Mountain."

Among the current protectors, Gu Zi'ang is new and needs the veteran protectors to guide him so he can focus on cultivation and healing. Luo Benqing is too gentle and needs more tempering. Tian Bulian is not good at offense. Granny Weaver Girl is the trump card and cannot be used lightly. Therefore, after careful consideration and hundreds of deductions, Ling Tiandu made this arrangement.

The God of Wine didn't care and nodded as a sign of agreement, but Mu Xiaobai, sitting in his seat, became melancholy.

"This……"

Ling Tiandu looked at her, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous, and asked softly, "Little Bai, is there a problem?"

"Of course I have no problem, but I don't know what the fairy's purpose is in this trip to Tianren Mountain. I only have the strength of a Celestial Immortal. According to the current information, only my junior sister is someone I can fight for the time being. Two of the other three are half-step True Immortals, and one has a special ability. I'm afraid that if I go, I might be a hindrance..."

"Don't worry, Little White Sister. This time, try to snatch the Sword Soul Heart if you can. If not, there's no need to exert yourself. The main thing is to preserve our strength," Ling Tiandu comforted her. "I don't need you to do anything. Just go there."

"Can we just go?" Mu Xiaobai looked at her strangely.

“Yes.” Ling Tiandu nodded. “Just going there is enough.”

Deduction is about predicting future developments.

The future is an elusive and uncertain path, like the Way of Heaven. Before it existed, it was mysterious and profound, and even those who sought to predict it could not explain it.

To be honest, Ling Tiandu didn't know why they needed to go there. She only knew that their going there was part of the plan.

“Fairy Ling.” At this moment, Tian Bulian suddenly spoke up, “Little White Sister is new to this world and is bound to be nervous. Although I am not good at fighting, I am still a veteran protector. Why don’t I go with them and have someone to look after me?”

Ling Tiandu glanced at Tian Bulian and instantly calculated hundreds of possible future horoscopes.

"Alright then." She smiled slightly and said, "In that case, I'll trouble Boss Tian to make the trip as well."

"Yes."

As the meeting ended and the mist gradually dissipated, everyone departed, except for Ling Tiandu, who remained seated motionless, seemingly waiting for someone.

Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, a gourd of wine suddenly appeared on the left seat, and then transformed into a human, the figure of a slovenly old man reappeared.

"Ling'er, you called me alone, is there something else you want to tell me?"

Ling Tiandu nodded, remained silent for a moment, and said, "One of the Heavenly Dao's hints makes me very uneasy."

Deep within the Guardian Heaven Sect, in the most secluded hall, lies a massive stone tablet. Legend has it that this tablet connects to the depths of the gate, and thus, the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao often manifest on it.

The hints from Heaven are sometimes simple and easy to understand, and sometimes require careful contemplation. But generally speaking, as long as one can understand them, one will be far ahead of others in the world. After all, these are considered secrets of Heaven. When Heavenly secrets are revealed and Heavenly hints are given, generally only the chosen ones will look at them. After all, the chosen ones are deeply loved by this world and have a better grasp of Heavenly secrets and the hints of Heaven.

"what happened?"

Ling Tiandu remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Among this year's guardians, there is a villain who has infiltrated the ranks."

Dionysus's eyes widened.

"You mean to say..."

“I don’t know right now. The Heavenly Dao’s hints are too vague. I don’t know if he’s already infiltrated or if he’ll infiltrate later. After all, I received this hint yesterday,” Ling Tiandu said with a serious expression. “He could be a veteran protector or a newly recruited protector. He could have just arrived or he could not have come yet. In any case, when all twelve protectors are gathered, he will definitely have already infiltrated.”

This news is truly terrifying.

In the simulation, no less than a thousand people attacked the Guardian Sect. The information they currently have on the four female villains is already powerful enough. They don't know what other powerful villains will follow. Now, according to Ling Tiandu, one more of the twelve guardians has actually infiltrated. How the hell are they supposed to play this game?

Even though the God of Wine was already at the True Immortal realm, he was still deeply shaken. He knew that Ling Tiandu had no reason to lie to him; her telling him this meant that it was highly likely to be true.

"Ling'er, so you mean..."

“That’s right, Heaven is unkind, and it’s possible that even the Weaver Girl is not a match for you,” Ling Tiandu said calmly. “The reason I’m telling you this is because I’ve deduced it countless times and finally ruled you out.”

Dionysus quickly pressed, "Can't we continue the calculations?"

“It’s no use.” Ling Tiandu shook his head. “It has already taken all my effort to eliminate you. It’s a fact that the villain has infiltrated the area. I can’t confirm his identity.”

"Could it be that even stopping..."

"There's nothing we can do. I've already foreseen the scene of all twelve of us guardians gathering here for a meeting. In addition, the Heavenly Dao's hint also mentioned that we can't change the fact that person infiltrated our ranks."

For a moment, Ling Tiandu's tone even carried a hint of despondency.

The title of villain is impressive, but this time it's a bit too much. Without anyone knowing, he killed the protagonist, replaced him, and infiltrated the Guardian Sect by taking an unconventional approach.

What is his purpose? Why did he infiltrate? Has he already come into contact with the origin of the Heavenly Dao? Ling Tiandu knew nothing about these things. Sometimes she even wondered if the Heavenly Dao had been influenced by this guy.

Among the current protectors, she and the God of Wine are excluded. The remaining ones are Granny Weaver Girl, Tian Bulian, Luo Benqing, Mu Xiaobai, and Gu Ziang. It is also possible that someone will come later. However, she has no way to investigate. At least at this stage, she has no way to find this villain who has replaced the protagonist's name.

“I didn’t tell them at the meeting that the protectors will be arriving one after another over the next period of time. This time, all twelve protectors will be gathered in a short period of time,” Ling Tiandu said. “Uncle Wine God, I plan to entrust the task of guiding the protectors to you.”

“No problem, Ling’er.” Dionysus nodded. “Then this time we’ll go to Tianren Mountain…”

"That's what I wanted to say too, Uncle Wine God." Ling Tiandu said solemnly, "When you go to Tianren Mountain, try to take the Sword Soul Heart if you can, but don't force it if you can't. Prioritize protecting yourself, because I'm not sure if either Mu Xiaobai or Tian Bulian, who are going with you, is the so-called villain."

Both Tian Bulian and Mu Xiaobai's behavior was strange.

Let's start with Tian Bulian. In Ling Tiandu's memory, Tian Bulian had always been a cynical person who loved to have fun. Don't be fooled by her seemingly getting along with everyone; Ling Tiandu knew it was all just a facade. This time, she volunteered to go to Tianren Mountain, which was out of character for her and quite strange.

Then there's Mu Xiaobai. Her excuse was a bit far-fetched. Ling Tiandu had analyzed her personality and knew she wasn't the kind of person who was cautious and thoughtful. The Heavenly Dao sent her here because she had some connection with the villain named Wen Shihan. However, she wasn't excited when she saw Wen Shihan's information. On the contrary, she was distracted. When she hesitated just now, her gaze was also unpredictable, as if something was affecting her thinking.

Tian Bulian was a little uneasy, but after some calculations, she felt that the arrangement was not inappropriate, so she couldn't change it.

She simply instructed the slovenly old man: "Tian Bulian and Mu Xiaobai are now members of our protectors, so if they are in danger, we must save them. This operation is your responsibility. Remember, do not act rashly. Be sure to gather as much intelligence as possible. Once you arrive, use the spirit talisman to scout and send me the images in real time."

"Okay." The God of Wine nodded. He looked at Ling Tiandu's pale face and subconsciously said, "Ling'er, you should also take care of yourself and get some rest."

Ling Tiandu was slightly taken aback, then sighed helplessly.

She had no time to rest.

The millennia-long struggle has reached its most critical moment. The villains' attacks this time have surpassed the sum of all previous ones, and there is even a traitor among the twelve protectors. Now is the most tense moment. Ling Tiandu always has to do calculations before each operation, and the effort she expends is indescribable. Even so, she still finds the situation difficult to handle.

Putting everything else aside, just considering the four female villains that have already been identified, Ling Tiandu doesn't know how to deal with them.

“Uncle Dionysus, now is not the time to rest. Come and take a look.” As she spoke, she used the light orb to bring up information on the four female villains. “Of these four, Wen Shihan is skilled in all kinds of insidious and ruthless immortal killing moves, and he is also exceptionally talented, with a cultivation speed far exceeding that of ordinary people. Luo Benmo is a congenital immortal body with a rare dual spiritual root. Now that his spiritual roots have fused, he has the strength of a true immortal. Once he breaks through to the true immortal realm, I dare not even imagine how strong he will become with the fusion of his spiritual roots.”

As she spoke, she pointed to the remaining two: "Xu Anlu is a person with two souls in one body. She can summon the traces of the Great Dao without cultivating. Her souls are fused, and she has the strength of a True Immortal. She is most skilled in defensive and soul-based immortal killing moves. Even if you kill her, she can find a way to reincarnate. She is a real cockroach that is impossible to kill. And this one named Su Murong is even more troublesome. What she is good at is not anything else, but the popularity system, which is the so-called human-based killing move."

“Ling’er, I know the situation is tricky right now,” said the God of Wine. “That’s why you need to be extra careful to balance work and rest, and you absolutely mustn’t overwork yourself. If something happens to you, then the rest of us will really be in trouble.”

He reassured Ling Tiandu in a calm tone, saying, "Besides, don't forget, Tian is on our side."

Ling Tiandu was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

Yes, so what if these villains are strong?

Heaven is on their side.

That's enough to know.

"Uncle Wine God, don't worry about me. Please take good care of yourself on this trip to Tianren Mountain."

"Ling'er, you can rest assured that I'll handle things."

“Yes, I know.” Ling Tiandu’s expression softened. “Uncle Wine God, I have always trusted you.”

The God of Wine, a true immortal.

Generally speaking, spiritual roots are mainly attribute-based spiritual roots, but it is rare for empty spiritual roots to occur.

Dionysus is the root of emptiness and spirit.

However, he did not follow the ordinary path of spiritual roots; all his immortal killing moves were related to alcohol.

In his hands, wine can be used for offense, defense, evasion, and escape; it is a gentle breeze, a bright moon, a Guan Yu halberd, and a warhorse.

Everyone says that Dionysus is invincible.

Because when he drinks, he collapses and destroys an entire world.

Chapter 210 Target

Evenings were still hot, but overall, they were much cooler than during the day.

Yellow flowers bloom on the top of the wall, attracting bees and butterflies during the day, but appearing lonely at night.

After eating and drinking its fill, Big Yellow frolicked in the yard. The black cat, perched on the wall, glanced at it, wagged its tail, yawned, and closed its eyes.

No matter how many lies there are, they will eventually be exposed. When it returned, it didn't know how to tell Yang Pingsheng, so it could only lie there.

The conflict between the Way of Heaven and the Way of Man has lasted for a very long time, and apart from unparalleled geniuses, no one can have the final say.

Xiaoyu had prepared a table full of food, but the courtyard was empty; no one came to eat. She sighed helplessly, went to the yard to feed Dahuang his dinner and give him water, looked up at the black cat perched on the wall, and asked, "Want to come down and eat?"

The black cat opened its eyes and looked up: "Where are they?"

"They're all not here."

"Oh, then I'll get down."

The night was dark and unpredictable; tonight, only Xiaoyu and Black Cat sat at the dinner table. In the business center, Yang Pingsheng was meeting Xu Anlu in a restaurant.

With a series of major events recently, the emperor in the palace was in a bad mood. Tonight, he met with Xu Anlu and asked her and her Tiger Roar Battalion to pay close attention to the situation in the capital. Xu Anlu did not understand the emperor's thoughts and could only nod and agree.

However, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing. The emperor sending her to the military camp gave her more time to find Yang Pingsheng.

"Sir, here is the 'Record of Cultivating the Heavenly Path' you requested."

"Thank you."

In the secluded private room, Xu Anlu handed over the crucial book. Yang Pingsheng stroked the name on it, his gaze lingering on the words "Heavenly Dao," unable to look away for a long time.

Wen Shihan sat down next to him and, seeing him deep in thought, said in a low voice, "Brother, I've read this book. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Yang Pingsheng then turned his gaze to her and smiled slightly: "Okay, if I have any questions, I'll ask Xiaohan."

Wen Shihan smiled and subconsciously moved closer, only stopping when he felt a burning gaze from the side.
