The improved female villains regained their memories.

It still remembered the scene when it first met Yang Pingsheng: a desolate desert, fine drizzle mixed with snowflakes, a barren and impoverished loess plateau, and a boy who had been abandoned. He looked about three or four years old and was sitting next to a wall crying.

The system scanned his body and found that there was a lesion in his cornea, meaning that he was blind.

"Was he abandoned by his parents because he was blind? In this kind of weather and environment, he probably wouldn't survive, but what if he is? He is a good prospect to become a human chess player, so let's mark him for now."

The system recorded the coordinates of this world and also located them in the boy's soul. After giving him some energy to ward off the cold, it left this world to continue searching for other promising talents in other worlds.

When it saw the boy again, it had already traveled through countless worlds. The chaotic time and space made the system feel tired. Several of the boys it had favored either changed their personalities as they grew up or became like the tragic story of Zhong Yong.

Left with no other choice, it returned to find the little blind boy from back then, only to discover that the little blind boy had become a teacher.

It flew high into the sky, looked down at Yang Pingsheng who was diligently cultivating below, and murmured: "Even so, can you be at ease? Human chess... this is precisely the kind of work that is least reassuring. The cold and cruel reality will eventually shatter people's ideals. You think that you can get a perfect and reassuring ending by relying on your own hard skills, but that is the most impossible thing."

Even the most powerful immortals, standing at the pinnacle of the world, have moments of unease.

Even if Yang Pingsheng cultivates to become a true immortal through his own strength, can he be at ease? No, he can't. The plan that the system made him do is precisely the one that makes him least at ease.

At this moment, shrouded in mist.

All the forces that entered the formation were undoubtedly trapped in their own dreams. To escape, they either had to break free from the dream and find the core of the formation to break it from the inside, or use their powerful strength to break the formation from the outside. Otherwise, they would be trapped inside, and their lives would be controlled by the master of the formation.

However, there is one exception: Su Murong.

This person was just an ordinary mortal, without any cultivation or spiritual energy within her body, so the mist array ultimately had no effect on her.

But she still encountered trouble.

"Damn it, what is this? This fog is all formed from spiritual energy. I can't blow it away, and I can't inhale it. How the hell am I supposed to see where I'm going to go?!"

From within the mist came bursts of roars.

Su Murong stood there, surrounded by a vast expanse of white, unable to distinguish east from west.

The scarecrow that the white tiger had disappeared into was left aside by her. When she remembered to check it again, she discovered that the scarecrow was formed from spiritual energy. It was probably that the person who set up the formation swapped its position with that of the white tiger, which is why she was holding the white tiger just fine, but it inexplicably turned into this thing.

Su Murong was at a loss, having tried everything, but still couldn't break through the fog before him.

Worst of all, she kept falling because she couldn't see the road clearly. If it weren't for the healing pills, she would have been the first person to fall to her death.

"Awooo!"

Just as Su Murong was at a loss, his body stiffened, and then he saw the fog in front of him slightly disperse, revealing a pack of wolves.

These wolves are all wolf demons, each with an impressive aura and agile movements. Some even have linear markings on their bodies, making them as powerful as earth immortals.

Su Murong's body was stiff, but his mind was racing.

The appearance of the wolf pack is suspicious; the fog spreads out as if in perfect unison, clearly a deliberate act by the person who set up the formation.

[Should I run away? No, the fog behind me hasn't cleared, I can't see the way at all. If I trip and fall while trying to escape, I'll fall into the wolf demon's mouth and won't even have a chance to take medicine.]

[But fighting... damn it, I'm just an alchemist, how am I supposed to fight a wolf demon with fur?!]

The Humanity Killing Move, Ghost's Sorrow, is very powerful. The first move alone, "Calling for Humanity," can destroy the foundation of an immortal's human energy. However, an immortal is, after all, still just a human.

And the wolf demon...

"The wolf's aura is coming!"

Su Murong roared, got into a fighting stance, and spread his arms wide.

The wolves were startled by her and stopped in their tracks, staring at her.

Nothing happened.

"My dear wolf fathers, I am just a weak woman. Can you just ignore me like a fart?"

The wolves looked at each other, then howled and pounced on Su Murong.

Su Murong stuffed countless elixirs into his mouth, his cheeks bulging, and he also raised his fist and charged forward.

A fierce battle ensued.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

In a circular clearing where the mist had dissipated, Tian Bulian and Mu Xiaobai stood back to back, surrounded by a group of bear demons who were eyeing them menacingly.

The two met by chance. Tian Bulian was the first to break free from the dream and, while trying to find a way out, happened to see the unconscious Mu Xiaobai. Without saying a word, Tian Bulian stepped forward and slapped Mu Xiaobai awake with several spiritual slaps. Then, just as the two were about to discuss what to do next, they were surrounded by bear demons.

Mu Xiaobai touched his swollen face, hissed involuntarily, and said helplessly, "Sister Bulian, you don't have to be so rough next time you call me. You can just stimulate me a little with your spiritual energy."

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry." Tian Bulian covered her mouth. "I was just afraid I wouldn't be able to wake you up."

No matter how you look at it, it seems like the other party is doing this on purpose. Mu Xiaobai sighed helplessly, then gripped the hilt of her sword tightly and looked seriously at the bear demons surrounding her: "These bear demons are basically all at the level of cultivators, but some of them have already refined linear patterns. Miss Bulian, it will take both time and energy for me to deal with them alone. This time, please don't test me and just make your move."

Tian Bulian was a true immortal cultivator. According to Mu Xiaobai's prediction, a mere bear demon with linear markings could be easily destroyed with a flick of the wrist. But the other party helplessly shrugged and said, "There's nothing I can do."

Mu Xiaobai's eyes widened: "Don't pity me, sister!"

"There's really nothing I can do," Tian Bulian said helplessly. "This seems to be a formation within a formation. The person who set up the formation is extremely skilled. The second formation uses the secret realm of Tianren Mountain to forcibly suppress high-level immortals to the level of Earth Immortals. It's just that unreasonable, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"That is to say..."

"Yes, I am currently only at the Earth Immortal level."

"Then don't look so relaxed!!"

The bear demons roared and charged forward one by one.

Tian Bulian immediately unleashed his killing move, transforming into a tiny figure and hiding on Mu Xiaobai's head. Instantly, the pressure from behind was also applied to Mu Xiaobai.

Faced with his companion's shameless behavior, Mu Xiaobai could only sigh helplessly. Then, his eyes turned cold, and the aura of his Yang Spiritual Root burst forth.

Immortal's ultimate move - Heavenly Light Thunder Dragon.

This move was used by the imposter Mu Xiaobai in the first life to fight Wen Shihan. Now that the real Mu Xiaobai is using it, it is indeed extraordinary.

The roaring white lightning dragon was no longer the weak white dragon that had been scattered by Wen Shihan's black dragon. As soon as it appeared, it intimidated all the bear demons. Then, amidst thousands of lightning bolts, it roared and charged towards the few most threatening linear patterned bear demons.

The bear demon, still stunned, reacted and roared as it charged towards the thunder dragon.

boom!

After a fierce battle, one bear demon was seriously injured, another was killed, and the remaining one fled in disarray, led by the third.

Mu Xiaobai knelt on one knee, panting heavily. Tian Bulian returned to his original form and quickly used a healing immortal technique to treat her injuries.

"well enough?"

"We can hold on."

Mu Xiaobai became Dao Ranzi's disciple earlier than Wen Shihan. As the senior sister, her combat strength was naturally not bad. Although the bear demon had already refined linear patterns and could theoretically fight against earth immortals, that was only in theory.

There are differences even among Earth Immortals. For example, Mu Xiaobai's Heavenly Light Thunder Dragon move alone is enough to give the bear demons a hard time.

"Miss Bu Lian, what should we do next...?"

"what is that?"

Before Mu Xiaobai could finish asking, Tian Bulian interrupted him.

To the latter's astonishment, she turned around and discovered that the mist behind her had dispersed considerably, revealing a jungle path.

buzzing.

And on that path, countless swarms of bees were attacking.

Tian Bulian's expression finally changed, his previous relaxed look gone. He said, "These are killer bees. Their orderly advance must be commanded by a queen bee who has condensed linear patterns."

Mu Xiaobai drew his sword and stood up: "Then let's fight."

"We can't fight them. The most deadly thing about killer bees is their venom. Their venom can dissolve the spiritual energy inside an immortal. We absolutely cannot fight them head-on."

Tian Bulian grabbed Mu Xiaobai, abandoning all pretense, and unleashed his full power.

Although he was at the Earth Immortal realm, this outburst was like a massive army, instantly stunning the swarm of killer bees.

"Let's go!"

She gave a low shout, grabbed Mu Xiaobai, and ran backward. The mist surged in, but she waved her hand and dispersed it, revealing a path.

Buzz!

Seemingly receiving some kind of instruction, the killer bees became even more excited, rushing towards Tian Bulian and Xiaobai with a whooshing sound.

Just as the two were escaping, Su Murong's battle also ended.

The wolf pack's corpses lay strewn across the field. Su Murong spat out a mouthful of blood, kicked the wolf demon corpse lying in front of him, and laughed wildly with his hands on his hips.

"You little stray dog, trying to fight your Grandma Su? Don't you know I can regenerate health infinitely?"

Compared to Mu Xiaobai's overwhelming dominance, Su Murong's fight can only be described as brutal.

Unable to use his full repertoire of humane killing moves, he could only resort to techniques like Qi Explosion. The key issue was that such techniques did little damage to the wolf demon that had condensed linear patterns. With no other option, Su Murong could only rely on the infinite health regeneration from pills and the bone-regenerating flesh technique, using his fists mixed with Qi killing moves to fight hard.

A bunch of ordinary wolf demons died, but none of the wolf demons that had condensed linear runes died. They all left because they thought the woman's flesh was unpalatable.

Rather than saying he won, it would be more accurate to say that Su Murong used pills to continuously fumigate his own body and then kept feeding himself to the wolf demon, disgusting it and driving it away. After all, nobody likes to eat a hamburger with dog poop in it.

"Hahaha, you little brat, trying to mess with me? Come on, I'll stuff you until you burst!"

She laughed loudly, then collapsed to the ground and vomited.

She felt nauseous from taking too many pills.

Chapter 284 The Beliefs Pursued 10000

In the forest shrouded in mist, Mu Xiaobai helped Tian Bulian sit down beside a large tree.

Killer bee swarms are fearless and their individual attack power is less than that of air, but when they are stacked together, they are terrifying.

Despite all efforts, the heavens showed no mercy, and Mu Xiaobai was still stung red and swollen. It took a great deal of strength to finally rescue her.

Although Mu Xiaobai is fine, Tian Butian is in a terrible situation. The venom from the killer bees in his body has accumulated to an extremely terrifying level. If it is not treated quickly, his life may be in danger.

"Sister Bu Lian, I'm sorry, I've dragged you down." Mu Xiaobai held Tian Bu Lian's hand, feeling deeply ashamed.

From the very beginning of the meeting, Mu Xiaobai felt something was amiss during this trip to Tianren Mountain. She wanted to refuse and even showed her resistance, but since the speaker was the chosen one and Tian Bulian had agreed to come along, she didn't say anything.

In retrospect, it's fortunate that Tian Bulian came along; otherwise, Mu Xiaobai would probably have perished in the swarm of killer bees on her own.

Tian Bulian didn't care about Mu Xiaobai's guilt. She smiled slightly, patted Mu Xiaobai's head, and said, "The path of cultivation is like this, full of all kinds of accidents and failures. Even a true immortal may perish at the hands of the weak. But don't worry, I am the protagonist after all, and the Heavenly Dao will not let me die here."

“But…” Mu Xiaobai gritted her teeth, wanting to say something more.

"Alright, don't worry, I've suppressed the toxins in my body. The only problem is my appearance; I'm not pretty anymore." Tian Bulian smiled and said gently, "I'll have to rely on you to guide me from here on out. As long as we find the God of Wine, our predicament will be resolved."
