The improved female villains regained their memories.

“If that’s the case,” Lone Wolf looked at Luo Benmo, “this might be a good opportunity for us. Song Panning’s idea is to exchange benefits. She hopes that you will not interfere in this matter in the Northern Territory and is willing to sell Fang Wuji’s royal family power to us so that we can annex it.”

"Hehe, that's exactly what she meant."

Thunder gathered around Luo Benmo, and she grinned coldly: "Song Panning and Fang Wu's relationship is not simple. She has been plotting for many years, imprisoning the immortals on Tianren Mountain to achieve her own goals. Fang Wu probably helped her a lot in this. Moreover, don't forget that this guy was nominally loyal to the Fourth Prince before, and his relationship with the royal family is probably not shallow."

"So what if she sold this relationship to me? Who am I to need her to sell it to me?"

A burst of lightning flashed, and Luo Benmo stomped his foot, causing the floor tiles to crack and stones to fly everywhere, displaying his domineering aura: "Do I, Luo Benmo, need Song Panning to exchange interests with me?"

"Or should I use my brother?"

Boom!

The Thunder Dragon roared high in the sky, and the old monsters of the capital city remained silent. Big Yellow scurried back into its doghouse, leaving only its rear end sticking out.

"Hmph, whatever."

Luo Benmo glanced coldly at Big Yellow not far away, snorted, and turned to Lone Wolf, saying, "Tell the brothers to wait for my news. If Song Panning is actually willing to sell the palace to me, then don't blame me for going there and turning the world upside down."

Who is Luo Benmo?

He's a bandit, a villain, and the most lawless of the villains.

Song Panning's decision to have Luo Benmo stationed at the Dragon Vein is going to put the royal family and the Heavenly Guardian Sect in a difficult position.

The lightning gradually faded away, leaving the courtyard deserted, with only faint traces of the destructive aura left behind.

Big Yellow let out a whimper and slowly poked its head out.

It sniffed around to make sure no one was around before it crawled out.

"Waaah..."

It made a whimpering sound in its throat, its tail drooped, its stomach was growling with hunger, and it had no strength left in its body.

No one cared about the female villains, and Yang Pingsheng could at least feed it. However, after he was arrested, Da Huang didn't even have water to drink.

It could only lower its head and lick the water in the pond.

Da

Da

Footsteps approached.

Big Yellow's nose twitched; it smelled a familiar scent. It looked up in surprise, saw the person, wagged its tail happily, and pounced on them.

"Alright, alright, you've suffered these past few days."

A gentle and elegant voice.

And, the familiar gentle and delicate temperament of Jiangnan.

north.

An inn near the grasslands, the most remote inn on the edge of the Qian Kingdom. From here, you can see the Great Wall stretching out in a row, and beyond the Great Wall, there is the endless grassland.

Song Panning was focused and meticulous, still developing new formations.

As night deepened, she summoned Xu Anlu and Su Murong, and the three of them flew high in the sky, continuously setting up defenses along the Great Wall.

Xu Anlu followed silently, barely saying a word, while Su Murong, sitting on Zhuque's back, yawned repeatedly: "Just do what you want to do, why do you have to call us along?"

“The range of the Heaven-Covering Formation is not large. Once I leave, you will be exposed outside the formation, so you have to follow me.”

"But it doesn't have to be in the middle of the night," Su Murong complained. "You guys are all immortals who don't need to sleep, but I'm just a mortal."

“It’s alright, my lord,” Suzaku said. “If you’re sleepy, you can sleep on my back. I’ll protect you with my spiritual energy, so you won’t fall off.”

Song Panning didn't speak; she was completely focused on the layout of the Great Wall.

Then, she said "fly into the sky" and took the lead in riding the air upwards.

Xu Anlu, Zhuque, followed closely behind.

Above the white clouds, the sky is filled with countless stars.

Song Panning stood high in the sky, looking down at the Great Wall stretching for thousands of miles.

She kept observing, and finally, in shock, she exclaimed, "What a formation!"

The layout of the Great Wall is actually a fragmented formation.

The person who set up the formation is unknown, and he used ordinary stones to create this formation. Over time, it has become the incomplete formation it is today. Even Song Panning's eyesight cannot discern what kind of formation it is.

But without a doubt, it is related to the fate of the Qian Kingdom.

"There are still many heroes in the world, haha, this is just perfect for me."

Song Panning laughed heartily, unable to contain her joy. She immediately set up an array in the sky, gradually increasing in size, which then echoed the incomplete array of the Great Wall.

Su Murong didn't understand formations, and he was also unable to sleep because of Song Panning. So he propped his chin up and watched listlessly. Xu Anlu knew a little about formations. When she saw Song Panning make a move, she talked to Xu Anyin in the space of consciousness.

"Song Panning's array formation is indeed profound. Don't underestimate her just because she only has the strength of a terrestrial immortal. Her array formation skills have reached the pinnacle. No wonder she was able to set up such an array on Tianren Mountain," Xu Anlu exclaimed.

"It's nothing but unorthodox methods." Xu Anyin sneered. "To put it bluntly, formations, magic weapons, talismans, and pills are all tools to assist immortals. Only realm is the only thing that matters. Even if Song Panning can use formations, she can't control the traces of the Great Dao and the truth. Sister, didn't you see? Without the secret realm, even that dead dwarf Luo Benmo couldn't suppress her so-called Immortal Slaughtering Formation."

“That’s true, but we must not deny her advantages.” Xu Anlu patted her head. “There are always some people in this world who are not recognized by the mainstream, but whose memories are unparalleled. How can such people not be called heroes?”

“This…” Xu Anyin muttered, “Then our Myriad Things Asura Transformation (used by Xu Anyin in Chapter 86 of Volume 3) isn’t bad either.”

Xu Anlu shook her head helplessly: "The Myriad Transformations of Asura is just a simulation of the truth. A simulation is still just a simulation. The simulated form is not the truth. Moreover, our Myriad Transformations of Asura is slow to set up and has a simple structure, unlike Song Panning, who started by targeting the entire world."

Looking at Song Panning, who was diligently setting up the formation not far away, she couldn't help but sigh again, "Song Panning is indeed a remarkable person."

Song Panning ignored Xu Anlu's heartfelt praise.

She focused intently on setting up the formation, her hands moving so fast they left afterimages.

hum!

The spiritual energy rippled outwards, and something was subtly changing.

A brand-new formation was laid out close to the remnants of the Great Wall, its influence penetrating directly into the ground.

This is actually a rare reconnaissance-type magic array.

Generally speaking, magic arrays are mostly used for protection and shielding. Skilled users often use them to trap enemies or strike hostile immortals, but no one has ever thought of using magic arrays for reconnaissance.

Firstly, the magic array is fixed, and setting it up is time-consuming and laborious. It would be better to use that time to develop a reconnaissance-type immortal killing move, which is simple and quick. Secondly, the magic array consumes a lot of spiritual energy, which is not worthwhile just for reconnaissance.

But Song Panning did exactly that.

Relying on the remnants of the Great Wall, she connected with the energies of heaven and earth, sketched out the stars and the earth's veins, and instantly grasped all the information about the grassland area.

The formation continuously fed back intelligence to Song Panning, and images constantly flashed through her dark eyes.

Soon, the scene in her eyes fixed on one place: a Western-style castle that was moving.

Having confirmed that Yang Pingsheng's presence was inside, Song Panning exhaled, and the image in her eyes gradually disappeared.

"The only drawback of setting up this formation is that it consumes too much energy. In just a short while, a third of my spiritual energy was gone. However, it's not without its advantages. At least when the formation is not in use, it won't consume any extra spiritual energy."

"Now that Yang Pingsheng's position has been confirmed, the rest is simple..."

Song Panning turned around, looked at the two people and the bird, and said, "I have confirmed Yang Pingsheng's location."

Xu Anlu opened her beautiful eyes wide, and Su Murong jumped up and shouted, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go save them!"

“No.” Song Panning shook her head. “Let’s go back to the inn for now and rest.”

She was going to wait, to wait for Ling Tiandu to make the first move.

Meanwhile, the squad that Ling Tiandu had sent out was also approaching the northern border.

Chapter 365 Fierce Battle in the Northern Border

a few days later.

A figure burst through the clouds; it was none other than Gu Zi'ang, who had come here on Ling Tiandu's orders.

However, he was in a particularly bad state at this moment. He had just arrived in the Northern Territory when he was trapped in some kind of formation. After breaking the formation, he was attacked by someone.

He turned his head, and flames swept across the sky. A cry resounded through the heavens as the Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, its aura fierce.

Su Murong, sitting atop it, was protected by the second move of the Ghostly Sorrow Killing Technique, Snowfall Without a Trace, and also possessed the first move, Human Qi Surge. Gu Ziang dared not fight him head-on.

He complained bitterly. Although Su Murong was a mortal, his abilities were strange, and he was no match for him.

"What bad luck!"

Ling Tiandu made multiple arrangements for this trip to the Northern Territory, but his mission was to enter openly and legitimately to attract the villains' attention.

Ling Tiandu seemed to have anticipated that Song Panning would ambush them along the way, so this time he did not let them set off together, but instead played a card called Gu Ziang first, just to test the waters.

On the horizon, Song Panning activated a detection array and silently observed Gu Zi'ang.

She sent Su Murong with Zhuque to hunt them down, wanting to see if the person who entered openly was just Gu Ziang. Now it seems that was the case.

She had been waiting for quite a while. When Gu Ziang was trapped in the formation, no one came to his rescue. Now, as he was being chased and fleeing in a sorry state, no one came to his rescue either.

Song Panning guessed in her heart: "Although the person who came is a celestial being, he has the wind spirit root. All his killing moves are based on agility and speed. If he is determined to run away, Su Murong really has no way to deal with him."

That's not surprising.

A surge of popularity is indeed terrifying for immortals, but it depends on who it's used on. Gu Zi'ang has the deadly move of Shadow Shift, which allows him to better conceal his aura. Su Murong's attempt to lock onto his popularity is not so simple.

“The Guardian Heaven Sect has a profound foundation, and its True Immortal-level combat power far surpasses ours. However, Ling Tiandu does not send True Immortal-level combat power, which means that there seems to be a problem within her as well.” Song Panning pondered while remotely adjusting the formation.

At this moment, Gu Ziang's speed increased, and Su Murong and Zhuque were gradually left behind. The wind howled, and his speed was so fast that afterimages appeared.

"Huh, what!?" He was startled. The scene before him had changed. Su Murong and Zhuque, who had been left behind, suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Hello there." Su Murong greeted him with a smile, then decisively used her humane killing move.

The first move of the Ghost's Sorrow technique – Summoning Popularity.

"Holy shit!" Gu Zi'ang cursed instinctively, then quickly held his breath and frantically backed away.

However, nothing happened.

He realized something, and with a wave of his hand, the scene before him shattered like a bubble. It was just an illusion; the real Su Murong was still chasing after him.

"I'm still in the formation!" Gu Zi'ang's heart trembled again. "What a skill! Could this be the female villain Ling Tiandu mentioned who is good at setting up formations? No wonder she is someone who can make even a True Immortal suffer in Tianren Mountain. I didn't even realize I was still in the formation."
