The improved female villains regained their memories.

"Little sister, I've brought you what you wanted."

The main hall doors opened, and Lin Jinxuan carefully carried in a plate of fruit. Seeing Lin Wanjun deep in thought, she didn't dare to disturb her, but silently placed the fruit plate on the table to her left. Lin Wanjun reacted, looking at Lin Jinxuan's bowed head, and had new thoughts.

[And what about my sister? After I possessed Song Panning's body, I could use the excuse that Lin Wanjun controlled the Lin family's behavior to pardon them, but my sister is not under my control.]

Having come this far, I can somewhat understand the mysterious man's scheme. Those seemingly insignificant advances and retreats have woven a vast net. If I so choose, I can perfectly inherit Song Panning's legacy and obtain everything she has, while Lin Wanjun will become a sinner in history.

Yes, there's no better way to get revenge.

However, Lin Wanjun remained hesitant and undecided.

On the one hand, as a member of the Lin family, she found it difficult to accept the change in her future family identity. On the other hand, she didn't like Song Panning to begin with, and the thought of living in Song Panning's body in the future made her feel uncomfortable.

Just kidding, she's way prettier than Song Panning, okay?

The image of Song Panning going to the dungeon to see Yang Pingsheng flashed through her mind again. The surveillance and movement array that she had secretly implanted in Song Panning was indeed very effective. Lin Wanjun knew everything Song Panning had done. Since that day when she met Yang Pingsheng, Song Panning had indeed locked herself in her room and become decadent, but she had not done anything out of line.

[Love-struck people are terrifying. Even someone as strong as Song Panning has lost her fighting spirit], Lin Wanjun thought to herself. [What if I didn't follow the mysterious person's instructions and just killed Song Panning directly?]

After thinking about it, she rejected the idea herself.

The mysterious man was right. She rose to power overnight by exploiting the information gap created by the Soul-Seizing Array. Once the Soul-Seizing Array is broken, she will surely be attacked by everyone.

The temple's leader had just died, which should have been the time for the various families to coordinate. However, she launched the first attack without saying a word, directly taking control of all the family heads. This news could not be kept secret at all, and the elders of the various families were not to be trifled with. They would soon realize that something was wrong.

The reason these people kept enduring and sending letters to Song Panning was because Song Panning was, after all, a goddess. They needed a legitimate reason to do so, and they also needed Song Panning to be their leader. It can be said that the mysterious man's plan was brilliant. He forced Lin Wanjun to follow his instructions. From the moment she completed the first instruction, Lin Wanjun could not turn back.

[There's no other way, so let's do it this way. I'll sacrifice myself to complete the revenge. Besides, once I become Song Panning, I can naturally help the Lin family.]

She waved for Lin Jinxuan to leave, took a green fruit from the plate, and took a bite with a crunch.

It's crisp, sweet, and juicy; there's a reason Yang Pingsheng likes it.

Yang Pingsheng, yes, she still has Yang Pingsheng. She has already realized that Yang Pingsheng truly cares about Song Panning. When the spirit is taken away, Song Panning will surely suffer.

"I just don't know why that guy confessed to me before, it's really strange."

She had never figured out this problem, but it didn't matter anymore.

It's time to wrap things up.

----

A month later, Song Panning received an invitation from Lin Wanjun.

The invitation invited her to have tea in the mountains outside the city, at the same place where the negotiations had taken place, but this time, it was related to Yang Pingsheng.

Song Panning accepted the invitation and, for the first time, pushed open the door and came out.

It was a sunny day. The long-lost dark clouds had dispersed, and the buildings along the way were covered with a golden veil. Song Panning turned to close the door, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Leng Yan standing under the eaves not far away.

After a long period of recuperation, her injuries have healed. Because she risked her life to bring out the news and the secret order for Song Panning to become the head of the family from the Song family, everyone in the Song family treated her very well.

Logically speaking, Leng Yan's loyalty should have been proven after this incident, but for some reason, Song Panning has not spoken to Leng Yan since returning.

This time was no different. Song Panning only glanced at Leng Yan before walking past him.

She walked out of the Song residence without looking back, and then went straight out of the mountain city.

The fresh air filled her lungs, and the crunching sound of fallen branches under her feet cleared her mind.

Not far away, a stone table, stone chairs, and a teapot—three familiar items—came into view. Lin Wanjun was standing there waiting for her. Upon seeing her, she bowed slightly and gestured for her to enter.

Song Panning didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly, asking, "What do you mean by saying you'll return Yang Pingsheng to me?"

"Goddess, you are really in a hurry." Lin Wanjun smiled slightly, picked up the teapot, and slowly poured tea. "Of course, it means exactly what it says. You secretly entered my dungeon to visit Yang Pingsheng before. I was moved by your love. I thought about it and realized that since Yang Pingsheng and I don't have any feelings for each other, then the relationship between husband and wife can be removed."

Song Panning's breath hitched: "You know?"

"I know." Lin Wanjun was satisfied with Song Panning's reaction. She nodded, pushed the tea over, and continued with a mysterious smile, "So, what do you say? Think about it?"

Song Panning silently accepted the tea without drinking it. After a moment of contemplation, she asked, "What do you want?"

“Many people are in contact with you, aren’t they? You should know perfectly well that their purpose in contacting you is to rebel against me.”

“I didn’t agree,” Song Panning quickly replied. “I haven’t seen a single person.”

Song Panning's current appearance is completely different from her previous life, where she had no trace of the strategic and unfathomable demeanor she once possessed. Lin Wanjun picked up her teacup, took a small sip, then put it down, a smile playing on her lips.

No, you saw it.

"What?" Song Panning was stunned.

“You not only met with them, but you also organized it,” Lin Wanjun said with a smile. “On the surface, you locked yourself in your room, ignoring worldly affairs, but in reality, you kept sending people to make contact and secretly formed a resistance organization. After receiving my invitation, you learned that I would not bring anyone to this meeting. So, on the one hand, you had your friend Ling Shuxin lead a team to attack the Goddess Palace, cutting off my contact with Lin Jinxuan and Du Wanli. On the other hand, you also ambushed cultivators in the surrounding area, intending to assassinate me here.”

"I didn't!" Song Panning slammed her hand on the table, her eyes blazing with fury as she stared intently at Lin Wanjun. "If you're going to fabricate a charge against me, at least come up with a better one. Otherwise, you..."

Suddenly, she realized something, and her words stopped mid-sentence.

"you……"

"Ah..." Lin Wanjun smiled, her smile filled with satisfaction, emotion, and slyness, "You look so handsome when you're stunned."

The Soul-Seizing Array is activated.

The hidden formation exploded, and spiritual energy surged upwards. In an instant, the two people's consciousnesses completed their call.

Within the spiritual vein, spiritual energy flowed slowly like a river, but the moment the Spirit-Seizing Array was activated, the spiritual energy began to boil.

Pain, endless pain, spread throughout her body. Song Panning coughed up blood before realizing she had collapsed to the ground.

Not far away, another version of himself was also clutching his head, struggling to get up.

"Quickly, kill Lin Wanjun!"

Soon, the person on the other side shouted.

Song Panning realized something. She lowered her head, trembling. Her clothes and figure were exactly the same as Lin Wanjun, whom she had just met.

She actually transformed into Lin Wanjun!

His spiritual energy circulation was impaired, and there were signs of damage to the spiritual meridians throughout his body. Most importantly, his stomach was churning, and blood mixed with gastric juices kept gushing out of his mouth.

She was right not to drink that tea; it was poisoned.

However, Lin Wanjun drank that cup of tea. Before swapping bodies, that bastard even damaged the spiritual meridians in her body. Just now, she was enduring excruciating pain and chatting and laughing with him.

Once she understood everything, Song Panning shuddered. She realized how terrifying Lin Wanjun was and that she had underestimated her in every way.

Hahahaha!

On the other side, Lin Wanjun, now in Song Panning's body, laughed wildly. She raised her arm and roared, "Kill the traitor!"

The pre-set imprisonment formation was activated, and dozens of cultivators rushed out from the side, shouting, "We obey the Goddess's command and slay the Lin family traitors!"

With her spiritual veins destroyed and her body poisoned, setting up formations or dancing was useless. Song Panning felt a burning pain on her skin, and blood was everywhere on her hands and mouth. Under the bright sunlight, the spiritual energy on the cultivators' magical artifacts was boiling, and each of them was filled with killing intent towards her.

Song Panning had reached a dead end; she had nowhere else to go.

However, at that moment, a burst of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from the direction of the city gate. Someone had used the Goddess Dance earlier, and instantly, boundless waves rolled over, blocking these cultivators.

It was Lin Jinxuan. She was covered in blood and had actually managed to escape the battle at the Goddess Palace and come here.

A bad feeling rose up from Lin Wanjun. The moment her elder sister appeared, she sensed that something bad was about to happen, and she immediately roared, "Stop her!"

However, Lin Jinxuan had participated in the Goddess competition before. When the Goddess Dance was performed, none of these cultivators could get close. Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Jinxuan came to Song Panning's side and raised her finger.

Dispel the formation!

Lin Jinxuan originally didn't know how to break the formation, but thanks to Lin Wanjun's guidance, she actually managed to break the formation that imprisoned Song Panning in that instant.

Because of the need to change bodies, the imprisonment formation was not set up by Lin Wanjun, but by the cultivators she had set up. It was just an ordinary imprisonment formation. After all, when Song Panning was in Lin Wanjun's body, her spiritual meridians were all severed. Even if she was a genius in formations, she would be helpless without the necessary resources.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Jinxuan actually arrived. This guy was indeed a good-for-nothing, but after all, he was forced by Lin Wanjun to learn formations. In just a moment, he broke the imprisonment formation.

"Sister, let's run! They're attacking the Goddess's Palace!"

Lin Jinxuan grabbed Song Panning, seemingly sensing that something was wrong with her younger sister. Ignoring her injuries, Lin Jinxuan carried her and ran.

"stop!!!"

Lin Wanjun let out an angry roar. Originally, it was a foregone conclusion that Song Panning would be captured alive today. She had even thought of countless ways to torture Song Panning, such as cutting her into human pigs, deliberately being intimate with Yang Pingsheng in front of her, or having Ling Shuxin cut off her arm, etc. However, she never expected that at this critical moment, it would be her own sister who ruined the plan.

"Chase them! Chase them! You must bring them back to me!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of cultivators broke through the strange phenomenon of the Goddess's Dance and chased after her. However, Lin Jinxuan turned around and threw out several golden embroidery needles.

As soon as the golden embroidery needle was thrown, it faintly burst forth with brilliant dragon energy. In the blink of an eye, the protective spiritual energy of several cultivators who were closest to it exploded, and the next second, blood holes appeared on their foreheads.

"This is……"

Lin Wanjun's eyes widened.

In her previous life, after failing to become a goddess, Lin Jinxuan chose to focus on weapon crafting (see Chapter 232 for details). This was simply because she had a talent for weapon crafting. This golden embroidery needle is called the Golden Dragon Embroidery, a fifth-grade magic weapon, and one of Lin Jinxuan's most prized works from her previous life.

In this life, she was forced by Lin Wanjun to practice array formations and walk the path of array formations. Unexpectedly, her weapon-refining talent remained undiminished, and she secretly still managed to refine the [Golden Dragon Embroidery].

An indescribable mix of emotions swept through Lin Wanjun's heart, eventually turning into terror. But she had no time to think it through; the moment her body was swapped, she was destined to follow the mysterious man's instructions.

"Huh...huh..."

She clutched her chest, gasping for breath, trying to process the discomfort brought on by the physical transformation. Then, she moved her hands and feet and got up.

Not far away, Lin Jinxuan had already carried Song Panning into the woods and disappeared.

“Goddess,” a cultivator approached her, saying with a hint of helplessness, “the other party is carrying a fifth-grade magic artifact, although it’s a one-time use item, but…”

"I know." Lin Wanjun interrupted him expressionlessly. "Come back with me first and join Ling Shuxin and the others. Then we'll organize our forces to surround the mountains and forests. We absolutely cannot let the Lin family traitors escape."

Her words were forceful and resolute, but in her heart, she had already fallen into a deep abyss.

The bad premonition grew stronger and stronger like a storm, until it engulfed her entire being.

Chapter 258 But the person I hated didn't die, and the person I loved couldn't possibly be...

Black blood dripping from her mouth and nose fully demonstrates the potency of Lin Wanjun's poison.

Lin Jinxuan was also injured. She didn't have any miraculous healing medicines on her, only ordinary healing pills. After Song Panning took them, her condition did not improve; the poison surged up and she couldn't suppress it at all.

Song Panning examined herself and found that all the key points of the spiritual veins were broken. In addition, due to the poison, the originally clear spiritual energy had turned dark green. Every strand of spiritual energy was mixed with poison gas. As long as it was circulated, it would cause blood to surge upward and turn into poisonous blood.

It won't kill her, but it'll certainly give her a lot of trouble.

When each trace of poison is activated by spiritual energy, it suddenly becomes as violent as a maddened beast.
