The improved female villains regained their memories.

"Xiao Han's talent for cultivation, her sister's combat prowess, Xiao Lu and Xiao Yin's imperial power, Mu Rong's alchemy and popularity system, and Pan Ning's wisdom and formations—only by coordinating them can we gain a foothold in the upcoming changes."

He stretched out his finger and wrote a large "合" (meaning "together") on the map.

Last time, because everyone had their own agenda and were wary of each other, they couldn't provide enough support and ended up suffering a complete defeat.

"The vehicle only serves its purpose because of the hollow space inside the wheel hub."

Yang Pingsheng exhaled deeply, and in a daze, he understood something.

"What's needed isn't spokes, but holes that can accommodate the hub."

This is what is meant by the formless.

Just like Yang Pingsheng's spiritual root, Earth—it carries all things, gathers in the center, and disperses to the four directions.

In the darkness, fate had already intervened.

Wen Shihan smiled, walked to Yang Pingsheng's side, and said firmly:

"Whatever my brother wants to do, I will support him."

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

The Heavenly Guardian Sect.

After handing over the seriously injured Mu Xiaobai and Du Wanli to Tian Bulian and Granny Zhinu respectively, and arranging cultivation tasks for the other guardians, Ling Tiandu returned to the main hall. Sitting on the bed covered by curtains, she still felt uneasy.

Although Tianren Mountain lost a round and was forced out of the game by Song Panning, its subsequent successes in subduing the God of Wine and using the Nine Eight Desolations to eliminate Tian Bulian's petty schemes were undoubtedly successful. However, Ling Tiandu had a bad feeling.

"Strange, why have I been feeling so much palpitation these past few days, especially just now, it's like something has changed."

Ling Tiandu frowned and summoned the world in his palm once more.

“Song Panning’s target is undoubtedly the dragon vein. She told Fang Wu to talk about a decisive battle, but her real aim is still the dragon vein. The place where I will face off against her next will undoubtedly be the dragon vein of the Qian Kingdom.”

The royal family has shown signs of cooperating with the female villain, so how could Ling Tiandu feel at ease?

"And that guy Yang Luoyi, he threatened me with the secret from back then. Ha, no matter how you found out, you're going to die."

She sneered repeatedly and began to deduce the problem again.

But the next moment, her expression changed drastically.

"How is this going?"

It is said that the future is a thread, but among these complex threads, there is one that is faintly visible, seemingly real yet illusory, which is quite strange.

"This future is so strange, it's like... I've experienced it myself."

Not only this line, but what's even more worrying is that the future of the line where the invisible one reigns seems to have solidified even further.

This made Ling Tiandu feel increasingly uneasy.

Ever since she obtained the prophetic poem, she had been trying to maintain a balance between the two futures: the female villain's attack on the Heavenly Guardian Sect and the Invisible One's rise to power, trying her best to prevent things from developing in either future. However, in just one night, the entire deduction seemed to have fallen apart.

"Someone did something behind the scenes, or perhaps..."

Ling Tiandu stared intently at the faintly visible future line, and at the increasingly intense future line of the invisible one reigning supreme, his premonition seemingly confirmed.

"What on earth is going on..."

Just as she was trying to sort out her thoughts, she suddenly heard the earth and sky shaking violently, and then the god of wine rushed into the hall.

"Little Ling'er, the door has brought the main character over again."

"Ok?"

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

Early the next morning.

The sun shone brightly, but only the Fairy Valley next to the capital was shrouded in dark clouds.

"Little brother, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

On a hilltop in Immortal Valley, Yang Pingsheng and Luo Benmo looked at each other, a large shadow looming over them. Yang Pingsheng looked up and saw that the sky was already covered with dark clouds.

He knew what Luo Benmo was asking.

It's both asking the unanswered question from yesterday's meeting and asking what he's actually up to.

“You think I can’t see it? That woman dragged you into this, gathered us all in the hall, and all she wants to do is lead us.” Luo Benmo suddenly smiled.

Her smile was adorable, like that of a girl next door, and even her voice carried a soft, sweet tone: "You think I can't tell? What a silly trick you're using to act cute, isn't that what she taught you?"

"But you still fall for it," Wen Shihan said, his eyes flashing coldly from the shadows.

She really hated this shorty. He always acted so smart, even though he wasn't tall, he still looked down on people.

Yang Pingsheng started with her, and she readily agreed.

"I thought you would cooperate with her last night, but you didn't in the end. Have you come to a realization?"

The clouds thinned out, and sunlight shone down, illuminating Luo Benmo's upturned face.

"Have you figured it out yet? Hmm, I think so too. These women are all bad, they're all just liars. Only a den of scoundrels is your true home."

She smiled and extended her hand to Yang Pingsheng: "Let's go home. Don't worry about protagonists or villains, I'll take care of everything for you."

Yang Pingsheng remained silent. His gaze swept over Luo Benmo's body, finally rising slightly to settle on the dark clouds.

Then he said, "Sis, I want to challenge you."

The dark clouds gathered solidly, with flashes of lightning twitching within them.

Luo Benmo was still laughing, but his cheeks were twitching slightly: "What did you say?"

"Sister, I challenge you." Yang Pingsheng repeated, "The rules of this den of villains are that subordinates can challenge superiors. Sister, don't you remember?"

How could Luo Benmo not remember?

This was a rule she set back then, the purpose of which was to ensure the purity and power of the blood spirit root.

Those in positions of authority must manage those in positions of authority and be responsible for their safety. However, those in positions of authority can challenge those in positions of authority at any time. Once a challenge is initiated, the two become enemies, and those in positions of authority are no longer responsible for the safety of those in positions of authority.

Later on, the Four Heavenly Kings were basically established, and no one would issue a challenge casually, because no one wanted to die.

Luo Benmo is a person who is very particular about rules and hierarchical relationships. Normally, no matter how much a superior dislikes a subordinate, they can't kill him. But if you dare to challenge him, then the superior has an excuse.

Given the disparity in strength, no one would be willing to risk their life.

Luo Benmo's body stiffened. Besides not expecting Yang Pingsheng to say that, she also realized a problem.

She was not only Yang Pingsheng's superior, but also Yang Pingsheng's sister.

At this moment, Yang Pingsheng issued a challenge to her. According to the rules she set herself, Yang Pingsheng was an enemy, and enemies should not be shown mercy.

The problem is that Yang Pingsheng is not only her subordinate, but also her younger brother.

If the public good is gone, then there's the private good.

His already poor thinking skills suddenly became a mess. Luo Benmo covered his head and, after a long while, finally looked up at Yang Pingsheng: "Why, why?"

“I want to be the leader of a den of villains,” he replied casually.

boom!

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and Luo Benmo's body shone brightly with lightning. After Yang Pingsheng answered his question, his face immediately turned ferocious.

"Heh heh heh heh heh, you think you can take my leader's position?"

"Yes, Chief."

Yang Pingsheng stretched out his hand, striking a pose: "Chief, please give me your guidance."

The boy's voice was clear and warm, but when it came through the wind, it became jarring. Luo Benmo's pupils contracted sharply, and those unpleasant memories from those years flooded back like a tide.

He didn't call me "sister"...

He didn't call me "sister"...

He didn't call me "sister"...

Thunder Dragon Roar.

Luo Benmo's silver hair flew wildly, his face contorted in a ferocious grin, and he charged toward Yang Pingsheng like a monster.

"What did you call me?!"

Armor appeared around Yang Pingsheng, and earth elemental energy enveloped his body. He didn't respond; he simply threw a punch.

boom!

The entanglement of lightning and earth, and the one that was ultimately blasted away—

—Without a doubt, it was Yang Pingsheng.

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

The new protagonist was sent over earlier than Song Panning had anticipated.

After all, the Heavenly Dao had just sent Du Wanli after the battle at Tianren Mountain, and Ling Tiandu was thinking that even if the next protagonist was to be sent, it would at least be during her confrontation with Song Panning.

I didn't expect it to arrive so early.

The new protagonist is named Gan Jiang, who distrusts Ling Tiandu. However, Ling Tiandu doesn't care, since Gan Jiang's arrival has brought her very important information.

This intelligence allowed Ling Tiandu to fill in the gaps in his deductions, officially including Shi Guijia in his plans.

"Oh, I see. Yang Luoyi, the person behind you is the female villain from the Sixth World."

Ling Tiandu, who had returned to the bedchamber, sneered. With the information, deducing Yang Luoyi's fate became much easier.

"Hehe, I really have to thank the Heavenly Dao. If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao, I would have completely overlooked this."

Chapter 376 Even the gentlest woman turns into a shrew when it comes to negotiating prices.

Originally, her idea was to send the lucky cat and Mu Xiaobai, who were good at controlling the secret realm, as envoys to contact Yang Luoyi and kill him by surprise in order to preserve her own secret. But if she did that, her plan would definitely have to change.

At least, she could openly use the power of the Heavenly Guardian Sect to attack Yang Luoyi, since there really was a female villain behind him.

With the help of Gan Jiang's intelligence, Ling Tiandu quickly deduced Shi Guijia's talent, definition, and relationship with Yang Luoyi. In order to make sure that no plan was missed, she even did not hesitate to expend the energy she had just replenished to deduce the Fengyun Mountain Range.

"The Fengyun Mountains! It's actually the Fengyun Mountains! The headquarters of the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce is located in the Fengyun Mountains, and the dragon vein is also in the Fengyun Mountains! Damn it, that old bastard Emperor actually cooperated with the female villain!"

The result of the deduction greatly surprised Ling Tiandu, who even swore.
