The improved female villains regained their memories.

Ancient divine beasts are the last remaining fighting force of the Guardian Heaven Sect and one of its trump cards. Their greatest role is to clean up the mess after a protagonist goes astray, ensuring that the villains will not pose a real threat to the sect.

The previous protagonist, Gu Lao, once declared that Ling Tiandu's generation would most likely be a decisive battle between fate and human will, and that fate and human will would begin to manipulate each other even before the protagonists were born.

The will of Heaven, which controls humanity, meticulously planned and calculated to create Ling Tianxin, a girl with terrifying talent and invincible in every way. However, the will of Heaven, which controls the way of Heaven, shamelessly manipulated things, transferring all of Ling Tianxin's talent and vital energy to Ling Tiandu, turning Ling Tianxin into a weak woman with poor vital energy who had been taking medicine since childhood.

The two sides are calculating and fighting each other, and you and I are indistinguishable. Now, Ling Tianxin has changed her name to Ling Tiandu and has become the protagonist of the Guardian Sect. Who can know which side will win?

The lucky cat was unaware of these secrets, but its long lifespan allowed it to keenly sense that something was amiss, especially the demon king's unannounced ascension to heaven and the disappearance of the celestial dog. This caused it to remain silent for a long time. However, despite its silence, it would still help Ling Tiandu when he asked for its assistance.

This time, however, it was busy with something that required it to directly intervene in the game of fate and human will. It squinted and thought for a long time before finally speaking: "Little Bell, if your goal is to take this opportunity to kill the villain, then you don't necessarily need me to create some secret realm. Jiu Ba Huang and Huang Rui are both True Immortal level, so having them is enough."

As it spoke, it looked at the God of Wine behind Ling Tiandu and laughed, "Is this the protector this time? He is a genuine True Immortal. With him included, there are already three True Immortal-level combatants. Could it be that the villains can now rival three True Immortals?"

Earthly immortals look down on mortals, celestial immortals can destroy a city with a wave of their hand, and true immortals are the pinnacle of the world, not easily matched by ordinary people.

From the perspective of the lucky cat, in previous battles, both sides would only unleash their full power of True Immortals when the battle reached its final stage. Sometimes it would be one or two, and sometimes three or four. In this early, probing battle, Ling Tiandu has already deployed three True Immortals, which is definitely a lot.

"This……"

Ling Tiandu gave a wink, and the God of Wine understood immediately, stepping forward and saying, "This time is different. The villains also have True Immortal-level combat power that can rival mine, and the key is..."

He hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back. Being beaten up by a half-step True Immortal was nothing to brag about.

"Let me say it." Ling Tiandu wanted the God of Wine to have that hesitant expression, so she quickly added her words.

The villains in this episode boast a truly impressive lineup.

First of all, Luo Benmo and Xu Anlu (Xu Anyin) are both half-step True Immortals. Except for not having the truth, they are undoubtedly True Immortals. Xu Anlu can be said to be slightly more normal. The abnormal one is Luo Benmo. In Ling Tiandu's deduction, Luo Benmo cannot be ganged up on. Once ganged up on this guy, he will only be able to burst out and comprehend the truth, and then make a comeback at the limit.

This made the battle at Tianren Mountain extremely difficult for Luo Benmo. Even when Yang Luo used a ninth-grade magic weapon, he could only hold him back for a short while. A group fight wouldn't work, and he couldn't beat him in a one-on-one fight. Ling Tiandu had to swallow his pride and admit defeat in the battle at Tianren Mountain. The first reason was Song Panning, and the second reason was Luo Benmo.

Of the others, Su Murong's combat strength was the most unstable and difficult to estimate. Ling Tiandu had deduced it multiple times and only knew that the opponent was secretly holding onto a world-destroying ultimate move. He couldn't be pushed too far, or it would lead to mutual destruction. Therefore, this person couldn't be provoked. Song Panning was unparalleled in wisdom and had a demonic beast with True Immortal-level combat power by her side. She herself possessed a battle technique that could suppress True Immortals. Ling Tiandu's deductions couldn't find an opportunity to kill her.

Currently, the easiest to deal with are Yang Pingsheng and Wen Shihan. Although the former is protected by the will of heaven, he has fallen into the hands of Yang Luoyi, who can absorb the will of heaven. The latter's talent lies in his cultivation speed. Although he was once a true immortal, his strength has now declined to the level of a celestial immortal. As long as he is not given time, he is not a threat.

In this scheme to control Taixu, Ling Tiandu was targeting Yang Pingsheng and Wen Shihan. Killing Yang Pingsheng would prevent the future of the Invisible One becoming king, while killing Wen Shihan would relieve pressure on the female villains' future siege of the Guardian Sect, giving Ling Tiandu a chance to breathe.

Killing one is profitable, killing two is extremely profitable. Regardless of whether Yang Pingsheng or Wen Shihan dies or they die together, Ling Tiandu will profit.

However, she cannot let the God of Wine lead the team this time, as the God of Wine has other missions, and relying solely on Jiu Ba Huang and Huang Rui is far from enough to successfully kill these two.

She needs the power of the lucky cat.

Ling Tiandu added some explanations, reasoning with everyone, and even the lucky cat couldn't help but squint and nod repeatedly.

"In that case, if the villains in the main world can die in this scheme, the pressure in the final battle will indeed be much less."

The lucky cat put away its fishing rod, patted its belly, its chubby flesh layer upon layer, like rippling lake water. It stood up, yawned, and said, "In that case, Little Bell, I'll help you this time."

"Thank you, Uncle Mao!!" Ling Tiandu laughed, pounced on the other's belly, and called out sweetly.

...........................

Upon returning and entering the Palace of Lingtian, the God of Wine eagerly inquired, "Ling'er, didn't you say your true identity was..."

"Shh." Ling Tiandu raised a finger and said softly, "Uncle Wine God, this isn't the same place as before. There are some things you should keep to yourself."

"Okay, I know, but it doesn't know you are... Isn't it too hasty to ask it to help you?"

The God of Wine frowned and said, "Luo Benmo is indeed troublesome, but I can develop a killer move to counter her. Ling'er, isn't this risky...?"

“Uncle Wine God, you have the Void Spirit Root, while Luo Benmo has the Lightning Spirit Root, which excels in combat. When you fight, you will naturally be at a disadvantage in a clash of killing moves. That guy is a battle maniac. You can't win by fighting; you need to take it slow.”

At this point, Ling Tiandu suddenly smiled: "Besides, I think my opponent doesn't want Luo Benmo to get involved in this mess. She will definitely send Luo Benmo to harass me elsewhere."

"Ling'er, you mean..."

"Hmm, I suspect that Song Panning may know that I am also plotting to seize the dragon vein this time, and she is very likely to lure Luo Benmo there."

"I see." The God of Wine nodded thoughtfully. "Ling'er, do you want me to take over the dragon vein?"

"No, this time I'm going to do something she won't expect. I plan to..."

As she was speaking, the Guardian Heaven Sect suddenly trembled.

Ling Tiandu immediately straightened his back and said seriously, "There's movement at the door. The new protagonist has arrived."

"Let's go take a look." With that, she waved her hand, and the clouds surged, propelling her and Dionysus toward the direction of the commotion.

In the jungle behind the mountain, fallen trees revealed another large crater.

Ling Tiandu and the God of Wine arrived. Weaver Girl Granny, Tian Bulian, and Mu Xiaobai were watching from the air. When they saw Ling Tiandu arrive, they felt as if they had found their pillar of support and came to the two of them.

The Weaver Girl spoke up: "Little Bell, this time the main character seems a bit..."

“Something seems off,” Tian Bulian added.

Ling Tiandu tilted his head, not understanding what they meant, so he released his spiritual energy to dispel the smoke, wanting to find out what was going on.

Below, in the center of the large pit.

A man knelt there, mouth agape, eyes rolled back, staring at the sky.

"Ah...ah..."

The next moment, he seemed to collapse and burst into tears.

"Shi Guijia, you monster, I'm going to kill you!!!"

Chapter 364 Saving the Villain Yang Pingsheng

Yang Pingsheng's residence in the capital city.

"The battle begins."

With a thought, Song Panning, with Xu Anlu's help, configured the formation in a very short time.

Soon, the newly established formation enveloped the entire courtyard, and before long, it produced three illusory images of Song Panning, Su Murong, and Xu Anlu.

The illusion was so lifelike that it could not be seen through, whether inside or outside the formation. Unfortunately, its only drawback was that the illusion of the magic god could not leave the formation.

"This time, we finally succeeded."

Song Panning inspected the items and nodded in satisfaction.

She had already set up a maze at the city gate, which would delay Luo Benmo for a while. Now that she estimated it was about time, they could retreat.

She opened her palm, where a flag appeared, which would be the medium for casting the teleportation spell.

This formation is called "Covering the Sky". One of the reasons why Song Panning has been spending so much time here is to develop this formation.

This formation was originally a fixed formation, mainly used for defense and intelligence gathering. It also had the unique functions of invisibility and disorientation. After the improvement, the formation only had the first two functions, but correspondingly, it could move with the person who set it up.

“Yang Luoyi and Ling Tiandu have most likely reached some kind of agreement. Our mission to rescue Yang Pingsheng serves two purposes: first, to find out whether the villain behind Yang Luoyi is friend or foe; and second, to fight against the Guardian Sect. Ling Tiandu is well-versed in divination. As soon as I move, she will begin to deduce our movements, but as long as we remain within the formation, Ling Tiandu will be unable to deduce our exact location,” Song Panning told Su Murong and Xu Anlu.

Of course, the defenses of the Sky-Covering Formation also have their limits.

First, it can only defend against deduced killing moves, not deduced magical artifacts; second, it has a defined range, so it can only defend against people within that range; finally, maintaining the magic array requires a continuous drain on Song Panning's spiritual energy, and if not handled properly, it can easily be completely depleted.

[This trip will be swift and decisive. Fang Wu has already taken the first step according to plan, so I will now move on to the second step. The choice between the dragon vein and the villains will not be easy for Ling Tiandu.]

Fang Wu's involvement in Tianren Mountain was naturally part of Song Panning's plan.

Her ultimate goal was to make Ling Tiandu determined to seize the dragon vein, since in her eyes, the royal family was no longer trustworthy.

The best solution for Ling Tiandu would, of course, be to unleash the full power of the Guardian Sect, but she wouldn't do that. Firstly, she follows the path of divination, which emphasizes seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune, obtaining the greatest benefit with the least effort. Secondly, Heaven's will is on the side of the villains, and if Ling Tiandu dares to overturn the table, Heaven's will not stand idly by.

Song Panning was well aware that both sides were accumulating strength in preparation for the final battle, a matter of fate and human will.

Regardless of Yang Luoyi's purpose, Song Panning knew that it was nothing more than a knife handed over by Ling Tiandu.

The most troublesome one is the person hiding behind the scenes.

A dog that bites doesn't bark. She's been hiding for so long, even changing the system. Song Panning really couldn't understand what this person was up to.

If you don't understand, then don't think about it for now. In any case, the biggest enemy right now is the Guardian Sect.

"Let's go."

With everything prepared, Song Panning left with Su Murong and Xu Anlu.

Soon, as dusk approached, Luo Benmo led the lone wolf back to the courtyard.

She was completely bewildered by the maze set up by Song Panning, so as soon as she landed, she angrily went to confront Song Panning. Meanwhile, the illusory image of the magic god set up by the formation began to communicate with her according to its pre-programmed personality.

After exchanging only a few words, Luo Benmo sensed that something was amiss.

Although she couldn't see through the formation set up with Xu Anlu's help, she instinctively felt something was wrong, so she gathered lightning and struck Song Panning with a palm.

boom!

Thunder roared, the Dharma body shattered, and Big Yellow cowered in a corner, trembling.

Poor Dahuang hasn't eaten for days and has lost a lot of weight. Now he has to try to keep a low profile so as not to offend that woman and get caught in the crossfire.

"You bastard, Song Panning, are you kidding me?!"

Luo Benmo was furious when she realized this. However, before she could do anything, Su Murong's avatar stepped forward and handed her the letter that Su Murong had left for her.

Luo Benmo squinted, temporarily suppressing his anger, and took the letter.

Dear older sister:

By the time you read this letter, the three of us will have already left. That's right, we're going to the Northern Border to rescue Yang Pingsheng. That woman, Song Panning, said that Ling Tiandu is very likely to split into two groups this time, one to set up a trap in Taixu Earth and the other to set up a trap in the Dragon Vein. So she wants you to go find Fang Wu and help guard the Dragon Vein. Of course, that coward doesn't dare to tell you in person, so I wrote you this letter to inform you.

Don't worry about Yang Pingsheng, I will definitely help you rescue him. You can just focus on protecting the dragon vein.

Note: Please don't come to the North! It would be terrible if you ruined the whole plan!

Note 2: If you obey this time, everyone will be willing to acknowledge your position in Yang Pingsheng's heart.

Your dearest sister-in-law: Su Murong (?????)

I'm afraid of getting it wiped.

A flash of lightning, and the letter turned to ashes.

Luo Benmo's veins bulged, and his face was contorted in pain.

"Good, good, Su Murong, Song Panning, you did a great job."

After silently reading the letter along with the others, Lone Wolf pondered for a moment and then said, "Fang Wu is a hidden True Immortal of the royal family. His strength was exposed in the battle of Tianren Mountain. Although I don't know what the Dragon Vein is for, I think that the Guardian Heaven Sect is pretending to accept Fang Wu's proposal, but in reality, it has already become estranged from the royal family."
