The improved female villains regained their memories.

Although Gu Ziang practiced killing techniques, he also had considerable knowledge of formations. At that moment, he continuously released killing technique clones, both to hinder Su Murong's pursuit and to observe again.

"A formation within a formation, and a formation within a formation that can change. Generally speaking, this kind of formation requires the person who sets it up to control it personally. Most importantly, it needs to change according to the reaction of the person entering the formation. In other words, the person who sets up the formation is either in the formation or not far away. She must be observing me, otherwise she would not be able to change the formation in time."

"Don't run away!" Not far away, the illusions of Su Murong and Zhuque reappeared.

Whether it was his expression, his eyebrows, or even the flow of spiritual energy from the Vermilion Bird, Gu Ziang believed it to be real. However, he had already suffered a loss once before, so naturally he wouldn't make the same mistake a second time.

He snorted coldly, unleashed another deadly attack, and fled swiftly.

The illusions kept changing, and Su Murong kept appearing, not attacking, but just harassing them.

Gu Zi'ang disregarded everything and shattered everything, his only thought being to escape.

"Damn it, where is the key to the formation, and where is the person who set it up hiding? I feel like I've been going around in circles for ages." Cold sweat trickled down Gu Zi'ang's forehead.

"Hehe, no matter who you are, since Ling Tiandu sent you as the vanguard, I have to devour you." Song Panning's eyes gleamed as she mobilized again.

She was not worried that this person would find the core of the formation. Every formation she set up was a new product that she had been researching and developing before coming here. Even if the person who came was proficient in formations, he was still far inferior to her, a prodigy in formations.

He wanted to kill the one who set up the formation to break it, but sorry, Song Panning is currently thousands of miles away and only knows about his situation by scouting the formation.

“Ling Tiandu knows that we also have True Immortal-level combat power, so he would never rashly send a Celestial Immortal. He probably has some kind of magic artifact that can help him escape.”

Song Panning sneered. She didn't care at all. No matter what the other party had, once they entered her trap, they wouldn't be able to leave.

A phantom materialized once more and rushed towards Gu Ziang.

Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky, thunder roared, and a petite girl with flowing silver hair blocked Gu Ziang's path.

Gu Ziang looked up and was so frightened that he almost fell from mid-air, so much so that he couldn't even keep his flying body steady.

"Luo Benmo!!" he exclaimed in shock.

As one of the twelve guardians, he had naturally seen Luo Benmo's intelligence. In addition, although he did not participate in the battle of Tianren Mountain, he watched the whole thing live from the Guardian Sect.

The shadow of a man, the name of a tree—this guy made the God of Wine afraid to raise his head. When he unleashed his power, he could even withstand the pressure of the God of Wine, the Nine Eight Desolations, and the Heavenly Mercy—three True Immortals—all by himself. Gu Zi'ang didn't even have the courage to fight such a person.

"Heh, where are you running to?"

Not far away, Luo Benmo slowly raised her hand, and nine thunder dragons coiled around her, their oppressive aura as heavy as Mount Tai, making people despair.

Gu Zi'ang repeatedly used his Wind Spirit Root killing moves, not for fighting, but for escaping.

He escaped even faster.

Song Panning looked at it and couldn't help but nod. The other party's reaction was not unexpected.

In the end, this person only has the strength of a Celestial Immortal. He had just entered the formation and struggled to escape. He was then chased by Su Murong all the way, and his spiritual energy was almost completely depleted. Let alone fighting a True Immortal, he would have a hard time even fighting a Celestial Immortal.

In this situation, as long as he is lured into the core area of ​​the formation, he can be captured alive using the formation.

"We can ignore the others from Ling Tiandu's faction who haven't been discovered yet, since Yang Ping's life is ultimately in Yang Luoyi's hands. No matter what deal Ling Tiandu makes with her, she needs to make sure she can see Yang Ping's life or death with her own eyes. Therefore, she must send someone to contact Yang Luoyi."

"No matter who this person is, even if he is just a small fry, as long as we can start from his memories, we might be able to learn more about the secrets of the Guardian Heaven Sect. In a battle between two sides, intelligence is the most important thing. Neither I nor Ling Tiandu currently have a good understanding of each other, which is why we are holding back."

"Of course, it would be even better if he were the main character."

Song Panning was well-versed in the ways of intrigue. The Guardian Heaven Sect had been rooted in the main world for a long time, and its power at the Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal levels was already extremely strong. However, Ling Tiandu did not directly suppress them with a large army. Instead, he approved Fang Wu's plan and tested them little by little, which gave Song Panning an opportunity.

But once the goddess sees an opportunity, she will never give up easily.

For example, this time, Ling Tiandu could have easily marched a large army into the northern border, but she didn't. So Song Panning naturally wouldn't be polite.

Boom!

A burst of lightning flashed, and Gu Ziang fled frantically, a sense of doubt rising in his mind.

Before coming, Ling Tiandu had assured him that even if the other side ambushed him, they would not let Luo Benmo come.

He was, after all, one of Ling Tiandu's confidants. Ling Tiandu told him about the dragon vein and frankly said that Song Panning's best choice was to let Luo Benmo guard the dragon vein.

And now, she's actually here?

[The previous illusions were all fake, could this one be...?]

He squinted and pondered, but the other party's aura was too strong, making him dare not approach and test them.

He could only flee while probing with reconnaissance-style killing moves.

"It's definitely lightning spiritual energy; it doesn't look fake at all." Gu Ziang felt immense pressure and wished he could use all his spiritual energy on a celestial killing move that would allow him to escape.

"Hehe, my formation connects the energies of heaven and earth, and is also linked to the ley lines of the northern border. As long as you are still in the formation, you can only be manipulated by me. How could you possibly see through it?"

Song Panning smiled coldly; she had seen through Gu Ziang's plan.

However, she couldn't afford to gamble on Gu Ziang. In the battle at Tianren Mountain, Luo Benmo almost kicked Mu Xiaobai to death with one kick. That's how huge the difference is between a Celestial Immortal and a True Immortal, not to mention that he was an unreasonable True Immortal.

Luo Benmo's fame, thanks to the Battle of Tianren Mountain, has resounded throughout the main world.

The silver-haired figure arrived with lightning, displaying the strength of a half-step True Immortal, and fought fiercely against several True Immortals without being at a disadvantage. Those who saw him could only flee in terror.

Song Panning took advantage of this, like a sheepdog herding sheep, to drive Gu Zi'ang into a trap.

She had already set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation in a specific location. As long as Gu Zi'ang went inside, he would be overwhelmed by the pressure and would have no power to resist.

However, just as the opponent was about to fly in, a delayed killing move erupted around Luo Benmo.

wind.

Strong winds.

The wind howled like sharp blades, tearing apart the illusion of Lobenmo, and the terrifying pressure vanished without a trace.

"So, it really was an illusion."

Gu Ziang stopped, stood in mid-air, and slowly turned around. His face was calm and indifferent, without a trace of panic.

Upon seeing this, Song Panning frowned slightly.

She kept staring at Gu Ziang, observing the flow of his spiritual energy, and knew that he was constantly using immortal techniques to escape. She wondered when he had set up a delayed immortal technique along the way.

"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be an illusion. Ling Tiandu is right. You are ultimately going to seize the dragon vein. You can't let the real Luo Benmo come."

Gu Ziang exhaled and looked up at the sky, saying, "Although I am not a genius in formations, I do know a little about them. I'm afraid there is a formation within a formation hidden not far from me. You used illusions to drive me away, simply because you wanted to subdue me with a formation. Song Panning, am I right?"

Looking at him, Song Panning suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that this person is indeed the protagonist."

“Since Luo Benmo didn’t come, then my mission is complete.” On the other side, Gu Zi’ang said to himself, taking out a magic artifact. “There’s no point in leaving it here.”

"Song Panning, the next time we meet, we will be enemies."

"This is a spherical magical artifact," Gu Zi'ang said, slapping it heavily.

Nothing happened.

"?" Gu Ziang looked down, staring incredulously.

"Heh, aren't you going to tell me? My formation connects the two energies of heaven and earth. You think you can escape using a spatial magic artifact? It's not that simple."

Song Panning chuckled. Since the other party was the main character, it was worth taking seriously.

A flame, as red as the sun, suddenly appeared not far from Gu Ziang.

A female immortal, clad in fiery armor, wielding a long spear, her red hair flowing, charged towards them.

It was Xu Anlu.

Upon seeing Xu Anlu, Gu Zi'ang was taken aback: "You're Ling'er's..."

Xu Anlu was also taken aback when she saw Gu Ziang, but she quickly came to her senses and smiled slightly: "It's you, General Gu."

She quickened her pace, and a scorching inferno swept in.

"Is it an illusion or..."

Gu Ziang changed direction and ran towards the surrounding area, his expression solemn as he probed.

"younger sister."

"okay!"

A red figure appeared, unleashing a soul-based killing move towards Gu Ziang.

He screamed, feeling as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer. When he came to his senses, he saw the flames approaching.

Whoohoo!

The crimson flames caused the temperature to rise rapidly. Even before getting close, Gu Ziang felt incredibly hot, as if he had been thrown into a sauna.

"It's true!" Gu Zi'ang was terrified and quickly used his wind-type killing move to flee again.

Xu Anlu laughed loudly and shouted, "General Gu, aren't you and Mother very close? Why are you running away now that you see me?"

Gu Ziang remained silent, and his situation suddenly became very bad.

An illusion is just an illusion; it can't compare to a true immortal. Now that Xu An has revealed his skills, the pressure on him has increased.

Flames filled the sky, and there were traps ahead. Gu Ziang tried to escape but couldn't, and gradually found himself in a desperate situation.

However, at that moment, the entire formation suddenly trembled.

"Ok?"

Song Panning frowned and saw outside the formation, Jiu Bahuang and a female immortal were breaking the formation.

The female immortal, clad in wind armor and wielding a giant sword, was clearly a terrestrial immortal, yet she could unleash the combat power of a celestial immortal, each sword strike and move shaking the heavens and earth.

Capturing Gu Ziang alive is crucial at this moment, so Song Panning quickly sent a telepathic message to Su Murong, instructing her to defend against him.

Su Murong, who was enjoying the show, sighed helplessly when he heard Song Panning's telepathic message and sent the Vermilion Bird outside the formation.

"Hey, isn't this the Qilin Old Monster? Instead of retiring at the Guardian Heaven Sect, you've come out to deliver yourself again?" Su Murong had just stepped out of the formation when he felt the immense pressure of demonic energy. He saw the Nine-Eight Desolations and chuckled. Turning his head to look at the female immortal beside it, he chuckled even more. "Isn't this General Guan? You've come to the main world too?"

Guan Hongyi looked up, his brows furrowing: "You know me?"

She had traveled back in time quite early, so she didn't know that Wang Tiande had replaced the dynasty and was overthrown by Su Murong. Now, when she saw Su Murong, she felt that he was a stranger.

"Yes, of course I know him. Your father and I are sworn brothers."

"Ah, really?"

“Of course it’s fake.” Su Murong said sternly, “I killed your father a long time ago.”

Guan Hongyi was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage:

"you wanna die!"
