The improved female villains regained their memories.

But how is that possible?

So-called magical artifacts, in essence, are tools that facilitate immortals in battle. Their appearance should be as small and convenient as possible. Huang Rui has never heard of any magical artifact that can isolate the inside from the outside, like an array.

"Even if there is such a powerful magic weapon, it can only be a ninth-grade magic weapon. But ninth-grade magic weapons are rare. How could a merchant guild possibly possess one?" Huang Rui wondered, and hesitated to go down to check.

A ninth-grade magic weapon, capable of rivaling a true immortal.

If a celestial being were to possess it, that would be fine, but if a true immortal were to possess it, even an old monster like Huang Rui might face the risk of perishing.

Just as she was thinking about what to do, the earth suddenly shook.

The mist parted slightly, and a sword light flashed out, slicing through the clouds.

Its momentum was like a rainbow, and its power was like lightning and fire. Huang Rui was caught off guard and his body was directly struck.

Blood flowed freely, and Huang Rui was horrified. As he coughed up blood, he suddenly retreated backward.

The next moment, the sword light rose again, but this time, it seemed to have cleaved out from underground, splitting the entire mountain range in two.

A sword appeared out of nowhere.

"what?"

Huang Rui was filled with doubt and surprise. She vaguely saw that there seemed to be a person below.

The man was eight feet tall, bare-chested, revealing strong muscles, with dark bronze skin and a gleaming forehead that seemed to be inlaid with an ice crystal.

He raised his head, gripped the sword hilt, and cleaved through the clouds, unleashing several streaks of sword light.

Huang Rui was terrified and used his magic to retreat.

However, these sword lights did not chase after her; instead, they scattered and flew slowly into the distance.

That's in the direction of the capital!

The visitors' destination is the capital!

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

The headquarters of villains.

After giving instructions to the Earthly Fiends, Tie Niu and Ling Hou led the remaining Heavenly Fiends and flew towards the capital.

Along the way, the spirit monkey complained, "I don't know what the leader is thinking. The most urgent thing now is to develop our power. As long as we spread the Blood Spirit Root like before, the whole world will be ours in the future. What does the royal family have to do with us?"

Tie Niu listened, and since he trusted Lone Wolf and Luo Benmo more, he replied, "The leader has her own considerations. Besides, she also said that this place is not like our world. There are too many powerful people here. Just lying low is useless. Have you ever seen anyone who has made a name for themselves in history by lying low?"

"Hey, we can't just leave you here like this. I don't believe there's any powerful figure out there. We're a pretty big force now, not to mention our leader is a True Immortal level figure. Even if there's someone powerful, can he really take someone's head from a thousand miles away?"

Before he could finish speaking, a sword light pierced through the clouds.

Before the clever monkey could even react, the iron ox noticed, grabbed him, and used a killing move to escape.

A sword flashed.

A single hair slowly drifted down from the monkey's head.

He shivered and said blankly, "What is that?"

"Yes, it was a sword light, and it seemed to be heading towards the capital," Tie Niu replied.

"Sword light?!"

The monkey was astonished.

He touched his neck; his head was still there.

If you hadn't dodged in time, you would have been beheaded.

"Are there really such powerful people in this world?" he murmured to himself.

Chapter 368 The Immortals Are Terrified!

In the capital city, on the outskirts, in the shadows.

The shadows shifted, like ink splashing, and a figure emerged from the shadows.

It was a shadow.

Xiao Hua and Xiao Zhu followed behind the shadows, the three of them standing in mid-air, looking at the masterpiece before them.

"Very good. Now the entrance and exit of our Great Yan Dynasty are completely established. As long as His Majesty gives the order, the Shadow will cover the entire capital. At that time, our kingdom will descend." The Shadow pointed to the arrangements and said with a proud tone.

Xiaohua and Xiaozhu didn't speak, but their eyes both shone with excitement.

Undoubtedly, the establishment of the entrance is an important step for their Shadow Empire, and it also signifies the beginning of Xu Anlu's erosion of the main world.

Xu Anlu's Shadow Kingdom is the most deeply hidden and most undeniable force among all the female villains. Once it fully descends, its scope may cover the entire Qian Kingdom. At that time, the world will belong to Xu Anlu, and the world will be completely transformed into a world of shadows.

For some time, the Twelve Zodiacs hadn't shown their faces much, and even when Xu Anlu was deposed by the emperor and reduced to a commoner, the Shadow Empire didn't take any action. The core reason was that they had been preparing for the arrival of the Shadow World.

"Your Majesty is a born king, only Your Majesty is worthy to ascend to the throne!" Ying exclaimed excitedly.

He had been with Xu Anlu for a long time, and in his eyes, what was a mere princess?

Xu Anlu comprehended the Great Dao with the body of a mortal, and could contain the traces of the Great Dao with her physical body alone. With the help of Xu Anyin's power, she could fight against a true immortal. In addition, with her kingly heart, who could compare to her?

What does the protagonist matter, and what does the villain matter? Once the Shadow World descends, the entire world will be Xu Anlu's possession. She knows this, which is why she has always pretended to be naive and advised Xu Anlu to be patient and tolerant.

How could a born king be subservient to others and share a husband with another?

Although the current entrance only allows the Shadow World to descend upon the capital, it's enough to excite Ying. He continued loudly, "Your Majesty is far-sighted. Now that the first step has been completed, I imagine what will follow..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a sword light that shocked everyone flashed by.

call out!

Xiao Zhu and Xiao Hua only saw a flash of white light before their eyes, and even with their celestial strength, they didn't fully react.

By the time they realized what was happening, the sword light had already destroyed the entrance they had set up, creating a trench in the ground.

Both of them were terrified, yet neither dared to move.

The chilling feeling of the sword flash was still etched into their bones.

Ying stared blankly at the entrance they had just set up.

The shadowy object, like a black hole, writhed a few times after the sword light passed by, and then completely split in two.

"No!!!" he roared in anger.

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

The main hall of the capital city.

The two groups collided head-on.

Xu Weibang sat on the throne, his resolute face expressionless.

Below, Fang Wu revealed the aura of a true immortal, protecting him tightly.

In front of him, to his left, was Luo Benmo, who had come under Song Panning's guidance; to his right were Granny Weaver Girl and Tian Bulian, who had come under Ling Tiandu's assignment.

The three groups gathered in the main hall, creating a very oppressive atmosphere.

"Steward Fang," Granny Weaver spoke first, "may I suggest that the royal family has sided with the villains?"

Despite her kind and smiling face, her words were filled with murderous intent, revealing her true immortal demeanor.

Before Fang Wu could explain, Luo Benmo spoke up for her, saying, "Old woman, do you even have the right to speak here?"

With his silver hair flowing and immense pressure descending, Luo Benmo, all alone, suppressed Granny Weaver Girl. Heaven showed no mercy, Fang Wu, and the other two.

The Weaver Girl Granny looked at Luo Benmo with a smile on her face: "Young friend Luo, you have the strength of an immortal, but you lack the demeanor of one. How come you still behave like an ordinary mortal?"

"Heh, you old man, you're really meddling in other people's business."

She sneered, too lazy to argue with the old woman in front of her, and turned to look at Fang Wu, her gaze pressing as she asked, "I contacted you several days ago, but you ignored me for days, and today you met with the envoy of the Guardian Heaven Sect. What, are you going to be a fence-sitter?"

Luo Benmo's murderous intent was palpable, clearly indicating that he had begun to doubt Song Panning's plans.

Is Fang Wu truly loyal?

Would he really secretly help the villains, unaffected by the coercion or bribery of the Heavenly Guardian Sect?

Fang Wu gave a bitter smile. He knew that if he couldn't explain himself clearly today, it would be difficult to resolve the matter amicably.

He admired Song Panning and would follow some of her arrangements, but he remained loyal to the royal family. Strictly speaking, Fang Wu would naturally follow whichever strategy was more beneficial to the royal family's development.

The main reason he listened to Song Panning and did what he did at Tianren Mountain was to consider the interests of the royal family. The confrontation between the will of heaven and the will of man had reached a critical point, and this chosen one of destiny was not the kind of person who would consider the survival of the royal family. Fang Wu was also afraid that once the Guardian Sect won completely, then the Qian Kingdom would have no reason to exist.

At least, immortals don't need the royal family to safeguard the dragon veins for them.

Unaware that Ling Tiandu had already conceived a plan to seize the dragon vein, he spoke up, "My lords, please listen to me..."

Before he could finish speaking, several sword lights pierced through the hall and flew towards them.

Xu Weibang instinctively felt death looming above his head. Before he could react in terror, Fang Wu had already instantly blocked the attack for him. Below, Luo Benmo, Granny Weaver Girl, and Tian Bulian also used their respective methods to defend themselves.

"Chief Steward Fang, does the royal family really intend to become enemies with the Heavenly Guardian Sect?" Granny Weaver Girl exclaimed in surprise.

"You damned eunuch, you plotted against me?" Luo Benmo roared angrily.

Fang Wu had no time to explain; sword light flashed continuously. Protecting the emperor, he could only shout repeatedly, "Protect the Emperor!"

Instantly, several celestial auras rose up, resisting the sword light together.

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

The bleeding stopped.

Huang Rui stopped his injuries, his eyes, filled with starlight, narrowed slightly as he looked at the Fengyun Mountains not far away, a hint of apprehension creeping into his gaze.

"Sword light containing traces of the Great Dao..."

At this very moment, countless sword lights continued to slash out from that person's direction, all undoubtedly heading towards the capital.

Huang Rui dared not approach and could only observe from a distance behind the clouds.

She could only sense the other party constantly emitting spiritual energy, but strangely, she couldn't sense the other party's cultivation level.

"Strange, logically speaking, this person should be at the True Immortal Realm level, since he can unleash attacks containing traces of the Great Dao. But I can't sense any True Immortal-level pressure from him. What's going on?"

Suspicion prevented her from taking any rash action; she could only conclude that it was all related to the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce.

What exactly is the background of this chamber of commerce? Not only is its headquarters located in such a place, but it also harbors such figures within it.
