The improved female villains regained their memories.

Your eyes, gazing across the world, are a dream I cannot awaken from.

Was he truly cruel throughout his life?

My life has been truly cruel!

"If one day you become my enemy, I will show no mercy."

"Me too."

"Because our paths diverge..."

"We cannot work together."

Volume Nine: The Heavenly King Who Plays with All Beings

Chapter 590 I Have a Soulmate

Prince Chao fled to Chu.

In 519 BC, with the support of many mythical beasts of the Guardian of Heaven, the people of Jin prepared to escort King Jing of Zhou into the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. However, by this time, Prince Chao had already declared himself king, so King Jing of Zhou went into hiding in the marshes.

In 516 BC, the State of Jin led the other feudal lords to escort King Jing of Zhou back to the Zhou capital, and Prince Chao was forced to become a subject. Prince Chao was defeated by the Jin army and fled to the State of Chu with all the classic texts and some nobles.

In 504 BC, Prince Chao's followers rebelled, forcing King Jing of Zhou to flee to the state of Jin.

In 503 BC, Hutianzong intervened again, and Duke Ding of Jin finally escorted King Jing of Zhou into the Zhou capital.

In the spring of 503 BC, King Jing of Zhou took advantage of the Wu state's conquest of the Chu state to send assassins to kill Prince Chao. Most of the cultivation texts were lost, and the path of cultivation has remained undetermined ever since.

Qin Unifies the Six States

In 238 BC, someone secretly presented him with the soil from the Taixu Ruins, one of the four great treasures. King Ying Zheng of Qin used this treasure to eliminate the clique of Chancellor Lü Buwei and Marquis Changxin, Lao Ai, and began to rule personally. Later, with the assistance of Li Si, Wei Liao, and others, he formulated the strategy of "destroying the feudal lords, establishing an empire, and unifying the world."

In 221 BC, the State of Qi was destroyed, and with this, the State of Qin completed its feat of conquering the world. All the cultivation kingdoms and sects were wiped out, and the Guardian Heaven Sect had no choice but to acknowledge the State of Qin in the name of the Heavenly Dao.

However, forces are surging in all four directions—north, south, east, and west—and a new path of cultivation has yet to be established.

Amidst the turmoil of the world, the last two disciples of the Guigu Sect of Yunmeng Mountain emerged from the mountain.

Nobody thinks this is a good time.

However, the last two disciples disagreed. Although Qin had built up the legacy of six generations and conquered the nine provinces and unified the world in ten years, there were still many hidden dangers. The nobles of the six states each held the remaining cultivation manuals and were eager to make a move.

Now is the perfect time to emerge from seclusion.

As the saying goes, "The road to the dragon and snake winds and twists and turns, while the eagle and falcon test their wings and soar through the sky."

In the midst of laughter and conversation, the wind and rain change color, a dark wind and bloody storm arise, love and hate intertwine, all surging in the heart.

The weather at Yunmeng Mountain is nice today.

Yang Pingsheng pushed open the door and entered the room, which was empty.

Scrolls were piled up everywhere—on the floor, on the bed—it looked like the room's owner was studying something late into the night.

There was a note addressed to Yang Pingsheng on the table. Yang Pingsheng walked over and said only one word:

【Walk】

Yang Pingsheng raised his eyebrows, understanding.

When the sun was high in the sky, he left the house and sat on a stone on the mountain path, breathing in spiritual energy. He opened his eyes slightly and saw a green figure approaching step by step on the mountain path not far away.

"You're back," he greeted habitually.

"Okay." Ye Buxin nodded. "Have you finished packing for me?"

"You just left a message saying 'I'm leaving,' what do you want me to help you pack?"

"I don't believe you didn't understand."

"It's all packed up. We've used all the storage artifacts to store our research materials," Yang Pingsheng said. "What did Master say?"

Ye Buxin didn't say anything, but raised his hand and slapped her.

Yang Pingsheng exchanged a palm strike.

boom!

The air currents crashed against the trees, causing them to tremble.

Yang Pingsheng said, "Stop fooling around, let's get down to business."

Ye Buxin looked at him with slight surprise: "Didn't you start this argument with me?"

As soon as he said this, Yang Pingsheng vanished like water.

Ye Buxin felt a gust of wind behind her head. Before she could turn her head, she immediately used her ingenious method.

A clever application – retreat.

As Yang Pingsheng attacked, he crashed into a tree, causing the tree to tremble and shed some leaves.

Ye Buxin then turned her head and raised an eyebrow at Yang Pingsheng, who was sitting there: "You did a good job using the Dharma Body and the Outer Body. If you had been a little more refined, I might not have been able to tell."

Yang Pingsheng asked helplessly, "Where did you slip up this time?"

Ye Bu thought to himself, "Eyes, I can tell this isn't you just by looking into your eyes."

Yang Pingsheng winced in pain: "Then you really know me well."

Since they are close friends, they are naturally familiar with each other.

Ye Buxin stepped forward and pulled Yang Pingsheng up: "Are you hurt?"

"It's alright, I'm used to it."

In order to practice the "Miracle Technique," the two agreed not to use any moves other than those that could be used.

Therefore, the two were fighting with their physical bodies, without even any spiritual energy to protect them.

However, in terms of skillful application, Yang Pingsheng is indeed inferior to Ye Buxin. Ye Buxin has physical defects, with her spiritual root, spiritual sea, and spiritual veins all being deficient. Therefore, she has devoted herself to studying skillful application.

The two walked one after the other towards the courtyard.

Nestled in the Yunmeng Mountains, beside the Ghost Valley, this place is like a fairyland on earth, with a massive array enveloping the entire valley.

The residence is nestled in a valley surrounded by lush bamboo and shrouded in mist, secluded from the world and enjoying a tranquil retreat.

The bluestone path is lined with all sorts of exotic flowers and plants. Not far away, the gate of a house is half-closed, with ancient cloud patterns carved on it. Beside the gate are two old plum trees. It is the beginning of spring, and there are still some snow remnants that have not melted completely, but that does not stop them from exuding fragrance.

Ye Buxin stopped and looked at the remaining snow on the old plum tree.

If she remembered correctly, these two plum trees were already there when she first arrived.

Year after year through the cold winter, this old plum tree has stood here, witnessing countless years.

She remembered when she first arrived, right here, because they entered the school at the same time, neither of them wanted to be inferior to the other.

"You have to call me Senior Sister," Ye Bu thought to himself.

"Why don't you call me senior brother?" Yang Pingsheng asked in return.

The two men got into a fight in front of Lao Mei over a simple issue of how to address each other.

That day, the silver moon shone brightly. Two groups of people fought back and forth. One group used spiritual energy to kill, while the other group used ingenious techniques. Neither side gained an advantage.

Finally, they both laughed.

"I won't hold it against you," Ye Bu thought to himself. "Considering you saved me, I won't let you call me 'Senior Sister'."

"I'm too lazy to argue with you," Yang Pingsheng said. "You can hit me if you want, but just call me senior brother from now on."

Ye Buxin's eyes turned cold: "You think you can take my face?"

Yang Pingsheng sneered: "It's already lenient of you to only call me 'Senior Brother.' Don't forget who let you off the hook back then."

"hehe."

"hehe."

The two attacked again.

The light shone on her eyes, and Ye Bu couldn't help but laugh again. Yes, how could she not laugh? Who would have known that the two of them had become close friends?

Yang Pingsheng went inside and saw the other person standing at the door. He asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about things from the past."

Amidst the shimmering snowflakes, Yang Pingsheng stood there and saw the woman reveal a rare smile.

"I just feel that being able to see the world with you is not a bad feeling."

Chapter 591 Prince Fusu

I hate my bloodline.

Those princes and nobles all take pride in their bloodlines, but my bloodline has never brought me glory, but rather humiliation.

Having my spiritual root, spiritual sea, and spiritual veins all ruined means I can't cultivate immortality and can't become a powerful being.

Why is this? Because I am the product of incestuous marriage.

I was born with the mark of sin.

I hate my mother, I hate my father, and I hate these nobles.

It's just that they were born into good families. If they were like me, how could they occupy high positions and point fingers?

The royal bloodline of the Chu Kingdom bestowed glory upon them, but upon me only shame.

Am I just supposed to accept my fate like this?

Acknowledge my weakness, acknowledge my flaws, acknowledge the fact that I am incapable of self-cultivation?

Do not!

If I can't stir up trouble, wouldn't I have lived my life in vain?
