The improved female villains regained their memories.

In the moonlight, the figure was blurry. He rubbed his eyes and saw a black cat meowing at him.

The dead rat belonged to it, and now it was demanding its spoils from him.

"Ugh……"

"Qingtian can't come back," he sighed, and returned to the banquet.

Only after formally joining the Thirty-Six Members of the Divine Cult did Song Qihao understand what his father-in-law meant.

The leader of the Divine Cult is said to be able to communicate with the Heavenly Dao. He rarely appears in public, but when he does, it is always with instructions from the Heavenly Dao. The meeting of the thirty-six members of the Divine Cult is, at best, just a pack of wolves he has raised.

He appeared once again, carrying the instructions of Heaven: the protagonist must appear and cooperate with the protagonist to suppress the evil spirits.

Song Qihao could no longer avoid the issue. Now that he was on their side, he had to tell them everything he knew.

He possessed the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, but he was not a true immortal after all. Most of the thirty-six members of the Divine Sect were true immortals, and they all exerted pressure on him, which he could not withstand.

After another unpleasant encounter with his colleagues, he sat alone in his study, with his old school textbooks on the table.

Even now, he can still remember what his mentor said:

"The demonic beasts are your companions, your friends, and your family. They could have roamed freely in the demonic beast forest, but now they are willing to fight for you. Humans stand between heaven and earth, speaking and acting according to their own conscience. If you prosper in the future, you must never forget their kindness."

He touched the textbook, and for the first time, a look of emotion appeared on his resolute face.

"Justice, justice! If it weren't for justice, where would I be today? Justice saved my mother, made me a star in the academy, and stayed by my side during my most difficult time. How could I betray my comrades for my own selfish reasons?"

"But what about the will of Heaven, righteousness, and prophecy? Heaven, will you really destroy the world someday?"

His facade could no longer hold up and was beginning to crumble.

There was a knock on the study door, and Leng Yanran's voice came from outside: "Husband, may I come in?"

Song Qihao composed himself and said calmly, "Please come in, Madam."

Leng Yanran walked in and saw her husband sitting behind his desk, silent, just pressing on the textbooks on it. She understood what was going on. She went over, stood behind Song Qihao, pressed his temples, and said, "Husband, is there something troubling you? Can you tell me?"

"My worries are not something Madam can solve," Song Qihao said calmly, with a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Leng Yanran sighed slightly and asked, "Is it because of Qing Tian?"

"Does Madam know?"

"I can guess a little bit, my husband. Is it the Divine Cult that's going to make a move against Qingtian?"

“That’s right.” Song Qihao nodded. “They asked me to reveal the location of Qingtian. They want to take the male and female leads there to suppress him. They are currently training the male and female leads.”

At this point, a nameless fire ignited in Song Qihao's chest.

Back then, his family fell into poverty, and he grew up in poverty with no one to support him. He relied on the help of the heavens to climb up step by step. But now, two young children who came from who-knows-where are being supported by the cult with great effort, and then they are being forced to harm his former companions.

He didn't understand anything about the Way of Heaven, the protagonist, or the villain.

Leng Yanran seemed to have anticipated this. She stopped what she was doing, took out a brocade pouch from her bosom, and placed it in front of Song Qihao.

Song Qihao looked at Leng Yanran, puzzled, "Madam, what's wrong with you...?"

"My lord, to tell you the truth, when my mother gave birth to me, she almost had a difficult childbirth. A mysterious immortal passed by our house and saved my mother. He told my father, 'Your daughter will surely marry a hero in the future. I have left you a brocade pouch. Tell your daughter to keep it close to her body and not to open it. When her husband is lost and doesn't know which way to go, the brocade pouch I left behind will be of great use.'"

Leng Yanran smiled slightly as she spoke: "My husband, my father remembered the immortal's words, so from childhood to adulthood, I have always kept this brocade pouch close to my body and dared not open it casually. Later, when I married you, I knew that you were the hero of this world, but since you have already reached the pinnacle of power, I did not know what troubles you, so I did not say anything. Now that you are worried about the matter of the heavens, I think it is time to give you this brocade pouch."

Leng Yanran left, and Song Qihao opened the brocade pouch.

Inside the brocade pouch was a slip of paper. Song Qihao opened the paper, his face grave, before suddenly bursting into laughter.

"Hahahahahaha."

He was laughing, but tears were streaming down his face.

"But little did I know that in the end, I was nothing more than a pawn in someone else's game."

----

Villain.

Every villain's birth brings devastating destruction to the world.

Driven by passion, their thoughts and actions are beyond reproach. They are naive, domineering, stubborn, and exceptionally talented. Therefore, only the protagonist can restrain them.

Song Qihao finally relented and revealed the location of the spiritual spring.

The cult decisively led the male and female protagonists to launch an attack, but unexpectedly suffered a crushing defeat.

Qingtian has taken over the mountain range and has now become a formidable force. She cultivates both spiritual and demonic energy, and even a true immortal is no match for her.

The Divine Cult held a meeting to discuss how to conquer Qingtian, and the final conclusion was that the key lay with Song Qihao.

banner.

Song Qihao's flag can move the heavens. He can use the flag to lure the heavens to a certain place, and then the members of the Divine Cult can take the opportunity to suppress them.

Song Qihao agreed, but after reading the note, he was disheartened and gradually began to show signs of giving up.

However, at this critical moment, Leng Lingshan approached him.

He somehow managed to enter the forbidden area of ​​the cult, thus triggering its mechanisms and returning severely injured and fighting for his life.

"Big brother, big brother, listen to me! The cult is not based on the Way of Heaven, but on the Way of Humanity!!" He was very excited and gripped Song Qihao's hand tightly.

"What!?" Song Qihao was shocked and quickly set up a forbidden formation, asking, "What exactly is going on?"

“Brother, now that things have come to this, I won’t hide it from you anymore. Listen to me, our Leng family is skilled in divination and calculation. This was discovered and passed down by my grandfather. When I approached you, it had nothing to do with my sister. It was mainly because I learned from the divination that you are a future hero, and it is my mission to assist you.”

"That set of calculations and deductions, after decades of improvement by me, can now communicate with the will of Heaven. It's just that because the cult has always claimed that they represent the Way of Heaven, I dare not reveal it to anyone. I infiltrated the cult based on the hints from the will of Heaven and witnessed the scene of the cult's leader communicating with people from another world."

He grabbed Song Qihao's hand, his expression excited, and said, "Brother, our world is just a small world. Above us, there is a main world. The orders of the Divine Cult are all issued by them, and behind them is humanity!"

The main world, the secondary world.

The world with doors is called the main world, where the mysteries of the Heavenly Way are hidden.

However, in the realm of immortals, one is one with the Way of Heaven, and human will can interfere with it; this is the mystery of the Way of Man.

The Way of Heaven and the Way of Man have been at odds for many years. The Way of Heaven wants to expel the Way of Man, while the Way of Man wants to replace the Way of Heaven.

This is the truth.

"Brother, the villains are the embodiment of the Heavenly Way! Do you understand?! The Heavenly Way is behind the clear sky; it represents the Heavenly Way!!" Leng Lingshan said. "Brother, the way of Heaven is to take from the surplus and give to the deficiency, and the way of man is to take from the deficiency and give to the surplus. If man wants to develop in the long term, he must pursue the Heavenly Way!"

Leng Lingshan spoke at length about the Way of Heaven, the Way of Humanity, and the two worlds.

Finally, he said that Qing Tian's extraordinary talent was the result of divine will, including his encounter with Song Qihao. It was all because Heaven wanted to support the two of them, but human actions caused the situation to turn out this way.

“Brother, Heaven is on your side; you are the one chosen by Heaven,” Leng Lingshan said. “The most urgent matter now is for you to lead us to seek refuge with Qingtian. I believe that, given your relationship with Qingtian, he will surely forgive and forget and take you in again!”

Song Qihao was deeply shocked. After settling Leng Lingshan in, he left the room and immediately wanted to find Qingtian.

He hadn't gone far when he bumped into Leng Yanran, who had rushed over after hearing that her younger brother was injured.

"Husband, where are you going?"

Seeing Song Qihao's strange expression, Leng Yanran quickly asked him why.

Having gone through so much with Leng Yanran, Song Qihao knew that she truly loved him deeply. Considering the previous incident with the brocade pouch and note, after a long silence, he finally pulled her to a corner, set up a protective formation, and told her what had happened.

Leng Yanran was equally shocked. After understanding what had happened, she realized how urgent the situation was.

"Let's not talk about what's behind the Divine Cult, or what the struggle between Heaven and Man is all about. Now that Ling Shan has seen the Divine Cult's biggest secret, the Divine Cult will definitely not let him go," Leng Yanran said. "If my husband goes to Qingtian again at this time, then the leader of the Divine Cult will know that you know everything, and he will not let our family go."

"Husband, you can't go to Qingtian now, because you don't know if the Divine Sect has blocked the path. Moreover, you can't carry out a large-scale transfer. The Song family, the Leng family, and those who have always followed you—you want to bring them all to Demon Mountain. Not to mention whether they will support you, the Divine Sect won't give you that time, husband!"

“I know.” Song Qihao pursed his lips. “But Ling Shan has already been exposed, and I have no other choice.”

Listening to this, Leng Yanran gritted her teeth and said, "Since that's the case, then we can only kill Ling Shan. It's better than falling into the hands of the Divine Sect and having our souls searched."

Song Qihao looked up in shock at Leng Yanran: "He is your younger brother."

"It's precisely because he's my own brother that I have to do this!" Leng Yanran cried bitterly. "Husband, if Ling Shan dies now, the Divine Sect may have suspicions, but they ultimately have no evidence. But if Ling Shan falls into their hands, and he says those things to you, then that would truly bring disaster upon our entire family!"

"No, let me think, how could I..."

Suddenly, he stopped speaking. The array surrounding the family reacted; it was the envoys of the Divine Cult, and they had arrived.

"Husband!" Leng Yanran cried, "This matter is of great importance, please make a decision quickly, there is not much time left."

Leng Yanran was right. When the leader of the Divine Sect learned that Leng Lingshan had escaped with serious injuries, he immediately blocked the road to the Demon Mountain and surrounded the entire Song family. If Song Qihao hurriedly tried to leave, he would decisively kill Song Qihao and destroy the Song family.

He is now sending the cult's envoy because Song Qihao is, after all, one of the thirty-six, and his situation is uncertain. He needs to find out the situation first.

Song Qihao understood the situation, and his heart was filled with anguish.

Neither the way of Heaven nor the way of humanity matters.

The most important thing now is that the lives of everyone in the Song family are in the hands of others.

He had to make a decision because now he was the head of the family, and it was his responsibility.

So when he walked into the room with a pill in his hand, Leng Lingshan understood.

"I understand what you mean, brother. Don't worry, brother. I won't blame you. It was my own fault for not thinking things through and acting rashly, which dragged you down."

"I've hidden the secrets of the divination method in this place." He held Song Qihao's hand and drew, "This method can communicate with the will of Heaven. I know the bond between you and Qingtian, brother. Don't worry, Qingtian's destruction of the world is a lie told by humanity. The reason why the Divine Cult spreads such lies is because there is the will of Heaven within Qingtian."

"Brother, go forward boldly! I will follow you step by step, even unto death."

Leng Lingshan is dead. It was announced to the public that he died from his serious injuries. He died as soon as he arrived at the Song family home. Song Qihao didn't even have time to see him one last time.

Although the cult's envoy had doubts, he couldn't say anything because of Song Qihao's calm demeanor.

On the contrary, when Song Qihao learned that Leng Lingshan had trespassed on the taboo of the Divine Sect, he became angry and cursed:

"This is outrageous! What kind of place is the forbidden area of ​​the Divine Cult? How dare Leng Lingshan trespass on it! Does he think he can act so recklessly just because he's my brother-in-law?"

He ordered that Leng Lingshan not be buried in the Leng family cemetery, and that his grave be moved out of the Leng family's possession, even if the Leng family pleaded on his behalf. The next day, he went to the religious sect to apologize to the authorities and repent for his lax discipline of his subordinates.

The leaders of the cult repeatedly tested him, but he answered fluently each time. In addition, for the next ten days or so, Song Qihao continued to eat, drink, and have fun, chatting and laughing with others, showing no sign of sadness, so they finally gave up.

Only Leng Yanran, his bedmate, knew Song Qihao's sorrow. Every morning, she would see that Song Qihao's pillow was wet.

After concealing his true nature, Song Qihao completely disguised himself, and apart from Leng Yanran, no one knew what he was really like inside.

Following Leng Lingshan's instructions, he obtained the divination technique and began to study it diligently. Finally, he received a hint from Heaven.

Many years from now, his descendants will produce a genius who surpasses even the heavens. He will be the very essence of this world, and also the greatest villain as defined by humanity.

A cunning and treacherous messenger skilled in disguise.

She is his descendant.
