The improved female villains regained their memories.

However, even a killing move that works against True Immortals cannot be deduced from the mysterious person. Ling Tianxin wanted to calculate the harm this person could cause her, but Bafeng's result was nothing.

It's not that there's no harm, but rather, there is none.

"puff!"

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, her body shuddered, and she nearly fainted.

"W-what happened?"

A sharp pain shot through her soul. Before she could even wipe the blood from her mouth, it felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer in the chest. The pain was so intense that she saw stars and almost fainted.

"Puwa!"

Spitting out a mouthful of black blood, Ling Tianxin collapsed to the ground, completely weak and listless, as if her body had fallen apart.

"How...how could this happen..."

Her eyes widened, and she trembled as she pulled a pill from her bosom, stuffed it into her mouth, and couldn't believe what had just happened: "Just two speculations, and I've suffered a backlash?"

If that's the case, then there are only two possibilities.

First, the opponent has a prepared killing move, which was prepared in advance.

Secondly, this person is of great importance, transcending the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements. Humans cannot comprehend things beyond their own understanding, and the same applies to deduction.

If it's the first scenario, that's fine. It only means that the mysterious person's divination skills are higher than Ling Tianxin's, and they were prepared long ago, having laid a defensive immortal-path killing move, waiting for her to deduce it. But if it's the second scenario...

This shows that this person's level of understanding has exceeded Ling Tianxin's comprehension, and even a genius like her cannot easily deduce it.

Ling Tianxin considers herself a genius. Is there anything in this world that can exceed her comprehension?

"Could it be..."

She squinted, coughed up another mouthful of blood, and a vague guess formed in her mind.

There aren't many things in this world that she can't understand, but there certainly are.

Regardless of the mystery's true nature, Ling Tianxin can no longer understand it through deduction.

"Fine, I'm outmatched in skill, there's nothing more to say. But no matter what you're up to, my goal won't change. I want to be the protagonist, and I want the Guardian Sect to win!"

"Even if I can't deduce your intentions or know your purpose, I don't believe that I can't deduce the other dangers you might cause or the traces you leave behind."

The mysterious person himself could not deduce it, and Ling Tianxin knew this well.

Since that's the case, she didn't insist and instead started to deduce other things. After all, her goal wasn't the mysterious person himself.

The elixir transformed into spiritual energy, slowly nourishing Ling Tianxin's body. Her internal energy was weak, and correspondingly, her spiritual sea and control over spiritual energy were also weak. But that didn't matter. Ling Tianxin had a vast amount of divine will assisting her, and human will helping her to stimulate her desires and longing for her goals. She could continue to deduce.

Because of this, she suffered a backlash, but she simply wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and, after recovering somewhat, began to deduce again.

"Deduction successful!" Ling Tian nodded in satisfaction as he withdrew his killing move.

She couldn't deduce the mysterious person's true identity, but through indirect means, she deduced that the mysterious person had made extensive arrangements in the Sixth World, and that someone in the Sixth World would pose a significant threat to her in the future.

If not handled properly, it could be fatal.

"So that's how it is. Before the deduction, the reason I drove the male protagonist of this world insane and killed the human chess piece and the female protagonist was to change his fate. Heh, but it seems that the mysterious person also made a lot of arrangements. Perhaps my methods only had a negligible effect."

"but……"

Ling Tianxin smiled slightly: "Knowing who you are makes things easier."

After saying that, she slapped her hand on the ground.

The spiritual energy took shape underground, forming the face of a child, with the child's name written beside it—Yang Luoyi.

"Sister, I'll have to trouble you to make another trip over there."

She spoke as if she were speaking to someone who was not around.

In the shadows, something flashed by, nodded to her like a puppet, and then disappeared.

Those two secret realms contain devices that allow people to travel between worlds, left behind by mysterious people. Ling Tianxin had already used Ling Tiandu's corpse to make a trip there before, so going again now would be a piece of cake.

Ling Tianxin looked at the results of the deduction and sneered a few times. Sure enough, as long as she mastered the deduction, fate would be on her side.

However, unbeknownst to her, a small skylight silently opened, and four pairs of eyes fell upon her, watching without a sound.

Chapter 341 The Fire of the Weapon Refiner

The four perverts surrounded Li Tianfei's magical artifact, the Heavenly Realm, for a whole day, from day to night.

Only Li Tianfei, the voyeur, was interested in this matter; the other three were not interested. After all, the magic artifact was small, and if four people looked at it, they would almost be touching heads together. However, since it was a matter of great importance, they could not ignore it.

Li Tianfei only put away the Heavenly Heaven because he was afraid of damaging the magic weapon, after he saw that Ling Tiandu had made up his mind to pursue and kill her.

After looking at it for a long time, my neck and head started to hurt, but the information I got was astonishing.

Li Tianfei was the first to stand up, stretching his limbs as he asked, "What's your opinion?"

Chen Ziyun slumped to the ground, looking utterly dejected, and said with lingering fear, "Goodness, it seems we've learned something incredible."

Neither Lin Xueyao nor Zhang Yijian spoke; the former was deep in thought, while the latter remained habitually silent.

This matter has a huge impact. They are just well-known weapon refiners in the small town. Compared with the things and people involved in the Outer Heaven, they are obviously nothing.

The four of them did indeed possess trump cards—ninth-grade magical artifacts. Logically speaking, eighth-grade magical artifacts determine battles between celestial immortals, while superior eighth-grade magical artifacts can intervene in battles between true immortals. Ninth-grade magical artifacts, on the other hand, can determine battles between true immortals. However, these are only theoretical claims.

The scenes displayed in the Outer Heavens were clearly beyond their common sense.

It's a pity that the Outer Heaven is only an eighth-grade magic artifact. Li Tianfei sighed. If it were a ninth-grade magic artifact, he might have been able to glean more information.

No one spoke, each lost in thought. Finally, Lin Xueyao spoke first: "This matter is far too important. If we report it to the royal family rashly, it may cause panic."

“That’s right,” Li Tianfei immediately replied. “That’s why I didn’t call Shi Guiyan. She’s close to the royal family, and I heard that there was a problem with the royal family’s sacrificial artifacts, so they apparently called her away.”

“But we can’t ignore this. It seems that woman sent someone to our world to kill someone.” Lin Xueyao frowned slightly and said, “We don’t know which side she’s on, but she gave me a very uncomfortable feeling.”

Chen Ziyun retorted sarcastically, "Besides cute boys, who else do you feel comfortable with?"

Lin Xueyao ignored him and simply said, "Besides, doesn't the name and appearance of Yang Luoyi seem a little familiar to you?"

The other three remained silent, seemingly none of them daring to mention that name.

After remaining silent, Zhang Yijian slowly uttered a sentence: "It's that person's child."

"Yes." Chen Ziyun nodded, her eyes filled with a hint of admiration. "Formerly the number one weapon refiner in the world."

The greatest weapon refiner in the world.

This title is not something everyone can have.

Five renowned weapon refiners may have reached the pinnacle in their respective fields of weapon refinement, but only that one person from back then, through his own efforts, ascended to the very top of weapon refinement.

Although time has passed, the four people present still remember the arrogant figure with long golden hair at the weapon-refining competition.

"All magic tricks are heretical, only weapon crafting can lead to heaven!"

Wielding a ninth-grade magic weapon, she, as an Earth Immortal, fought against a True Immortal-level expert and proudly ascended to the top to win the championship.

On the day she won the championship, the wind and clouds surged, the sky and earth changed color, and even the immortals were terrified.

At that time, the four people present were not yet renowned weapon refiners; in front of that girl, they were nothing more than four ants peering into the wonders of nature.

"Yes, Yang Luoyi is that person's child." Li Tianfei sighed deeply.

The former number one weapon refiner in the world has gone into seclusion in a small town, spending many days drinking alone. The famous weapon refiners know about this. After all, they are just weirdos, not fools. They all tacitly choose to avoid talking about the seclusion of this once-great figure, and even if they encounter her children, they try to stay far away.

Lin Xueyao said coldly, "Shi Guiyan once said that her sister's transformation was taboo, and that we should never investigate it. But the scene shown in Tianwaitian shows that the woman was trying to kill her child..."

Back then, now, the number one in the world has become unknown. What happened is unknown to anyone, but it is hard not to connect everything they saw in the Outer Heaven.

"Should we tell Shi Guiyan?" Lin Xueyao suddenly asked. "If something happens to Yang Luoyi, Shi Guiyan will probably go crazy too, right?"

Li Tianfei looked at her and said, "If Shi Guiyan goes crazy, it's not a big deal. But if the former number one in the world goes crazy, that would be terrible. Shi Guiyan can at least control herself, but she can't. Once she gets angry, the whole world will suffer."

Zhang Yijian nodded, tacitly agreeing with Li Tianfei's words.

Of everyone present, only Chen Ziyun had never seen Shi Guijia angry, so she asked curiously, "So what if you're angry? You'll just beat up the person who offended you or smash up your weapon-refining room, just like Shi Guiyan did, right?"

Li Tianfei turned to look at Chen Ziyun.

"You underestimate the word 'tyrant'," he said, letting out a sigh of relief, sounding slightly weary.

-------------------

The four met and the meeting ended.

In the swaying bamboo forest, Li Tianfei sat at Zhang Yijian's stone table, with a bowl of wine in front of each of them.

Zhang Yijian picked up the wine bowl, stopped at his lips, and asked, "Why?"

Li Tianfei understood what the other person meant; he was asking why such a magical artifact was being crafted. He smiled helplessly, picked up his wine bowl, and mimicking Zhang Yijian, stopped at his lips, saying, "Because I saw some things."

"What's the matter?"

"The former number one in the world has become so desolate. Perhaps I know the reason."

He saw what happened that day.

Beneath the broken clouds, a blonde girl sat on the ground, the boy's corpse lying in her arms. She just looked at the sky, her beautiful and exquisite face, as if it were a femme fatale, was expressionless, but rather as calm as a deep pool.

Her eyes dimmed as she silently gazed at the sky, giving the impression that she cared nothing for anything and was ready to perish with the world.

"I've always wondered what secrets lie behind the transformation of the once number one weapon refiner into such a different person. But what I saw that day told me that the secrets behind it are probably terrifyingly large."

He recalled the scene that day: watching the distraught blonde girl, he looked up and saw something breaking free from the swirling, shattered clouds.

Li Tianfei tilted his head back and downed the wine in his bowl in one gulp. Then he wiped his mouth and said dejectedly, "Although I don't know what Shi Guijia is hiding behind, or why that woman wants to kill Yang Luoyi across worlds, I have a feeling that this world is about to be destroyed."

“You already said that at the meeting, but you didn’t tell us what the evidence is,” Zhang Yijian said in a muffled voice.

Li Tianfei sighed and said, "You think that the Outer Heaven is a place to peer into scenes beyond the world, but that's not actually the case. The essence of the Outer Heaven is actually a divination-type magical artifact."

"what do you mean?"

"That year, I saw for the first time that there was a mysterious existence that could tear the sky apart. From then on, I wondered if there was a power that could destroy the world. Therefore, I wanted the Outer Heaven to tell me the answer."

"The answer..."

"The answer is that woman. That woman possesses the power to destroy our world."

Zhang Yijian hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

However, Li Tianfei poured himself a drink and said, "Speaking of which, I still owe Shi Guijia a favor. Years ago, when she was wandering the martial world, she saved my life when she saw injustice. Later, she became the number one weapon refiner in the world, so she didn't need to repay her for that life. So it's been left unresolved. Now, maybe it's my chance to repay her."
