The improved female villains regained their memories.

"Let's do it again, and trample them under our feet."

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

Today's dream was a little different.

In his dream, a woman appeared. He couldn't see her face clearly, but he knew for sure that she was a woman.

In front of the woman was a blurry stone table, covered with messy scratches.

She made new scratches right in front of him.

Then he heard her say, "Now, fate is on your side."

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

The fragments of images in my dream are becoming more and more numerous.

Was it a past life, reincarnation, or simply a dream?

He saw different parts of his past, but they were too fragmented to be pieced together.

The deepest scene in his dream was him, as a member of a northern gang, listening to the female gang leader's lecture.

The female leader said she wanted to end the chaos in the world.

He saw a man standing next to her, surrounded by people cheering enthusiastically.

No, that's not right.

Immortals are the foundation; immortals are everything.

Only by becoming an immortal...

Yan Yong woke up with a start, panting as he looked around.

In the darkness, he clenched his fist.

Only by becoming an immortal...

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

The bloody battle in the mangrove forest shattered the alliance of surrounding gangs, giving the Mangrove Forest Gang a chance to regroup.

Su Fengqing was in very bad condition. Ever since the seal was broken that day, the spiritual energy in her body was sometimes turbulent and sometimes weak, and it was not stable at all.

Liu Yin and others took turns caring for her. Perhaps realizing that she was not in good condition, Su Fengqing tried her best to remain optimistic, but she was awake for less and less time and was mostly asleep.

Yang Pingsheng has already truthfully explained the circumstances surrounding her "Natural Immortal Body," and everyone understands what this power is and what price it comes at.

Frankly, this is not a talent, but a curse.

It's hard to imagine that such a curse was borne by an optimistic little girl.

Everyone loves her joy and her vivacity, but who knows the bitterness deep in her heart?

Jiang Mo often went to see her, and each time he finished, she would remain silent.

She's becoming more and more like her former self.

Yang Pingsheng would always stay with her, holding her hand when she was silent.

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

A few days later, the wind turned completely cold.

Amidst the biting wind, Yan Yong finally appeared with his men.

The scholar-like man, now clad in armor, rode a tall black horse, a curved sword at his waist, and led a vast army, surrounding the mangrove forest.

The entire Northern gang had arrived, forming a dense, dark mass behind him. From Yang Pingsheng's angle, it was impossible to count the number of people.

Hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands? Nobody knew, but Yang Pingsheng knew that the world had changed again. Yan Yong's gang only had about twenty people, but he had brought so many people with him. Obviously, in addition to his own gang, there were people from other gangs as well.

His target is Su Fengqing, without a doubt.

Liu Yin stood on the viewing platform built by the mangroves, the wind blowing through her hair, her face calm.

Yan Yong rode his warhorse, looked at Liu Yin, then at the people around her, and smiled.

He first said to Yang Pingsheng, "Pingsheng, your attack was powerful and made me suffer a lot. Otherwise, I could have captured the mangrove forest by the early morning of the Family Reunion Festival."

Yang Pingsheng remained silent. Jiang Mochang stepped forward and sneered, "You bastard who survived a great calamity, are you here now looking for death?"

Liu Yin blocked Jiang Mochang's view, protecting everyone behind her like a mother hen protecting her chicks. She looked at Yan Yong calmly and said, "Chief Yan, what brings you here?"

Yan Yong looked at Liu Yin with a mocking smile: "It's you. It's been so long. I didn't expect you to have gotten worse and worse. Leading a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people, is this your ideal?"

Murong Xu's forehead veins bulged, and he was about to step out and start cursing when Liu Yin grabbed his hand and spoke first in front of him: "They are all my family. If Chief Yan looks down on us so much, why did he have to come here in person?"

"Hmph, family..." Yan Yong's gaze focused on Murong Xu, then looked at Liu Yin and said, "You can play your childish game if you want. I have no other demands this time. Hand over Su Fengqing. I want the immortal destiny she possesses."

He stopped smiling, and his attitude became arrogant.

"I cannot agree to this request," Liu Yin refused without backing down.

"Whether you agree or not is not up to you. Considering you're my childhood sweetheart, I'll give you a chance," Yan Yong said. "I'll give you one night to think it over. Hand over Su Fengqing by tomorrow morning, or I won't keep your gang alive."

Finally, he said, "The weak have no place to survive in this world."

He led his men back, leaving behind a silhouette filled with murderous intent.

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

For the last supper, everyone sat around the table, on which was the food prepared by the gang leader, Liu Yin.

"I disagree! Regardless of whether Su Fengqing has a destiny to immortality or not, she is one of us. We cannot hand her over!" Murong Xu slammed her hand on the table and shouted.

Liu Yin didn't speak, but the worry between her brows betrayed her. Murong Xu gritted her teeth and yelled at Sikong Xuan beside her, "Hey, Sikong Xuan, say something! You don't also want to hand Su Fengqing over, do you?"

Sikong Xuan remained silent for a while before speaking: "We are just a small gang of a few people, while the opposing gang has more than twenty people, including five who have undergone body tempering and impurity removal. We are no match for them."

Sikong Xuan had tried to be optimistic, after all, this intelligence came from before Liu Yin left the Northern Gang. Judging from the fact that Yan Yong's gang had led more than a hundred men when they first attacked the Red Forest, it was impossible for Yan Yong's gang to have so few people now.

Not to mention that during the day today, the number of people he brought was overwhelming, clearly indicating that he had swallowed up the remnants of the previous gang alliance, and the elites who had undergone body tempering and purification obviously could not have been only five.

Sikong Xuan was always like this, he liked to give random numbers when reporting the situation. Everyone was used to it and no one objected. Murong Xu shouted as always, "Then let's run away. Where can't we go? I can't trade my companions for wealth."

He then looked at Jiang Mochang and Yang Pingsheng: "You two should say something, especially you, Mochang. Aren't you usually the one who cares most about Su Fengqing?"

He wanted to say something more, but Liu Yin stopped him by raising her hand.

"Now that things have come to this, let's all speak," Liu Yin said. "Or we can vote by raising our hands; we have to come up with a solution."

None of the people present moved.

Liu Yin continued, "Those who agree to hand over Su Fengqing, raise your hands."

Nobody moved.

She finally smiled and said, "Then it seems we have no choice but to fight to the death."

The atmosphere wasn't serious; instead, it became relaxed.

No one objected.

Liu Yin and Murong Xu discussed how to evacuate. Sikong Xuan, Yang Pingsheng, and Jiang Mochang went to Su Fengqing's room where she was resting. The girl was still fast asleep and showed no signs of waking up.

Since she fainted, her spiritual energy has been unstable, and Jiang Mochang has to use talismans to regulate it every day.

Sikong Xuan gently covered Su Feng with the blanket and sincerely thanked Jiang Mochang.

Jiang Mochang waved his hand, turned around and walked out.

Yang Pingsheng followed, but she walked faster and faster, looking flustered as if she wanted to escape.

Yang Pingsheng grabbed her, and she didn't struggle, only saying, "I will make sure they all live."

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

The Mangrove Gang broke through and retreated in an orderly manner according to Liu Yin's plan.

Contrary to expectations, Yan Yong did not send a large force to pursue them, but only dispatched twenty men, while the rest remained unmoved.

He also instigated another large gang, raising the number of people involved in the attack and pursuit to sixty.

Next comes the storyline of Yixiantian (One Line Sky), where the Red Forest Gang retreats to Yixiantian, with Jiang Mochang covering their retreat.

She finally used the red talisman.

A burst of red light erupted from the entrance to the narrow passage, shooting straight into the sky and piercing the vast blue expanse, like a divine miracle.

The light faded, and everything turned to dust. Under the girl's tyrannical power, no one dared to take another step forward.

Yan Yong, who was slowly catching up, laughed heartily at the burst of red light and said to those around him, "My dream is finally about to come true."

"The tide of fate has already turned in my favor."

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

From the moment Yan Yong appeared, many things that happened were beyond Yang Pingsheng's expectations.

Although he still smiled in front of Jiang Mochang, it was only a forced attempt to remain calm.

Only after the situation had become irreversible did he understand what Yan Yong was planning.

He constantly instigated surrounding forces, using the promise of immortality as bait to lure them into attacks, weakening the Red Forest Gang's strength while simultaneously devouring the remnants of these gangs.

His power grew stronger and stronger, gradually forming a large encirclement.

As the encirclement tightened, the Mangrove Gang had nowhere left to retreat to, and ultimately could only retreat to that position—

—Feixiantai.

When Jiang Mochang and Yang Pingsheng reunited with the others, the situation of the Red Forest Gang had reached rock bottom.

Food was running out, and only a dozen or so people had survived. Many had become separated from their families, and those who remained were all injured.

After all the calculations, it turned out that only the five of them were capable of fighting.

Feixiantai is on the mountaintop, and they are stationed halfway up the mountain. Below the mountain is the large army brought by Yan Yong.

That's right, now we can't even describe them as gangs anymore, we have to use "army".

He reinstated himself as the "General Zhentian," and his goal is self-evident.

In their final standoff, the five men stood side by side, facing a massive, dark crowd.

Yan Yong stood on the high ground, looking at Liu Yin, and said loudly, "Surrender! The torrent of fate has led me. Su Fengqing, as the [medium], will become a powerful tool for me to transform into an earth immortal and wage war against the immortals."
