Ironclad, but the dungeon is in Hell difficulty.

"Are we sure we're in the right place? Why don't we see anyone?"

March 7 looked around and said with some doubt, "I and Yu Tianyi have been at the location marked in the document for almost half an hour, but apart from the floating memory bubbles around us, we haven't seen anything."

Click, click.

Not long after she finished speaking, a series of footsteps came from around the corner, which cheered the two of them up.

Today is Grandma's birthday. Sigh, Grandpa just passed away not long ago. Now I just hope Grandma is doing well. Now that she doesn't have to take care of Grandpa anymore, she should feel much more comfortable.

Chapter 223 The Sanctuary Attacks

"This appearance and aura, is it Huang Quan? No, something's not right."

When the newcomer appeared in Yu Tianyi's perception, his eyes flashed, and he immediately noticed something unusual.

The person before him had long purple hair and eyes, a tall and sexy figure, and a giant blade as tall as a person was hanging at his waist. He was undoubtedly the image of Huang Quan in Yu Tianyi's memory.

Even the indifferent expression was exactly the same as the person, but there was one thing that Yu Tianyi could not hide from the other party, and that was the sense of incongruity in his posture.

Having studied the Cloud Rider Sword Scripture for a thousand years, Yu Tianyi has a deep understanding of a swordsman's physical posture. In his memory, Huang Quan was a powerful swordsman, and instincts do not lie.

Although the person in front of him had tried his best to imitate seven or eight parts of the form, an outsider who was not very familiar with swords might be deceived, but for Tianyi, it was no different from showing off his skills in front of an expert.

"Is it you who triggered the secret message I left behind? I never expected to see such a powerful individual who is not subject to the will of Heaven at a time like this."

"Huang Quan" spoke with slight surprise, his gaze sweeping over Tian Yi and San Yue Qi for a moment before settling on the latter's face, a subtle change appearing in his previously indifferent expression.

Even though he didn't know the other party's background, March 7 had seen this expression on Seele and the others before, and understood that this woman who suddenly appeared had mistaken him for 'himself' in this time and space.

Although her expression was fleeting, Yu Tianyi could still sense an undeniable emotional fluctuation emanating from her.

The fact that it could move someone like her shows just how profound the impact March 7th had on her.

"In the eyes of the other party, March seems to be someone who shouldn't be here. Although the news of her resurrection after being turned into a puppet by the Order Sanctuary is shocking enough, the possibility of her being a fake cannot be ruled out."

But she didn't seem to think that was possible, and the message behind that was quite significant.

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. While staring at the other party, Yu Tianyi conjured an ice sword in his hand. His expression showed a hint of tension, clearly indicating that he was on guard because of an unknown situation.

March 7th, on the other hand, wore a strange expression. It seemed that everyone he encountered in this time and space, even those who were somewhat normal, knew him. It appeared that there was something very strange about that 'himself'.

"An individual not governed by the Heavenly Dao, what does that mean? Who are you?"

Yu Tianyi slightly raised the long sword in his hand, looking like he had never seen the world before. In fact, he not only did not answer the other party's question, but also asked a question in return.

Of course, this flawed performance was quite ridiculous to 'Huang Quan'. Being able to discover and interpret the code, and then enter the memory domain to reach the designated location, was not something a novice could do, especially considering that the outside world was the perilous Luofu Immortal Ship.

"But the woman beside him, how could it be... if it's her... impossible. If it's not her, why didn't the Holy Temple's lackeys react at all?"

Countless thoughts flashed through 'Huang Quan's' mind, but none of them could explain the extremely strange combination in front of her. Since the other party wanted to put on an act, she would naturally play along, after all, she was the best at acting.

"Don't know the Heavenly Dao? Could it be a mystery born in the Memory Realm? This isn't the place to talk, come with me. As for me, I was once a sea patrol knight, Huang Quan, that's what they called me."

She spoke calmly, then turned and walked back the way she came.

"Huang Quan, wait."

Both sides tacitly began acting, while their words subtly revealed hidden meanings as they tested each other, each wanting to know the other's secrets.

However, after several exchanges, 'Huang Quan' did not gain any useful information. Instead, he was left with a lot of questions by the words of Yu Tianyi and the others.

She was always very confident in her judgment of people, but these two were impeccable in both their language habits and subtle physical movements.

The other party's words seemed to indicate that they truly had no profound understanding of the Heavenly Dao 'Taiyi', as if they came from an area not covered by the power of order.

However, this is impossible. According to the organization's observations, traces of the Order of Destiny have already appeared in all known spaces within the star field. Therefore, no matter where in the galaxy, the traces of the Order Sanctuary are already everywhere.

In other words, she was unable to glean any useful information from these two mysterious beings.

"This feeling, and this ability to transform, she must be Hanabi, who has the nickname 'One Person, One Thousand Faces'."

In contrast, Yu Tianyi deduced the other party's true identity by examining some traces on the other party's body and combining them with some characteristics from his memory.

"I never expected that the person staying in Luofu would be her, and she even used Huang Quan's appearance. Judging from the level of her performance, they must have met before, and their relationship might even be quite good."

However, it is impossible to know whether the real Huang Quan is alive or dead. Apart from the initial tremor when he saw March 7, Hanabi's emotions remained almost completely unchanged, like an inanimate object.

This is normal, though. If she couldn't perfectly control her emotions under normal circumstances, she wouldn't be able to play the role of a supporting character well, so it would be very difficult to know her inner thoughts.

Of course, based on Yu Tianyi's observations, aside from these fabricated identities—an abandoned orphan, a cursed girl, a descendant of the doll clan—Hanabi is undoubtedly a real, living person.

However, before their covert confrontation could be resolved, a bright sword light suddenly appeared, piercing through the barrier between reality and memory, and slashing towards 'Yellow Spring' who was walking within it.

"Damn it, it's the Holy Temple's lackeys. We've run into them here."

Her gaze sharpened, and she gripped the massive blade, as tall as a man, to block. The collision produced a violent shockwave, further widening the already torn rift in her memory domain. Various bizarre and fantastical scenes were triggered as the shockwave spread.

"A lackey of the Holy Temple?"

Yu Tianyi and March 7 simply stood still. The aftershocks dissipated automatically when they reached them. Although the attacker's attack was powerful, it was only at the level of a second-level Locust Plague Apocalypse, and it could not affect them at all.

"A group that has joined the Order Sanctuary and is hunting down those of us who are unwilling to become part of the Order. Although they are not strong, they can draw on the power of the Order, making them difficult to match."

'Huang Quan' waved his hand to disperse the sword light, then leaped up with both feet, slamming his long sword, scabbard and all, down towards the figure standing there in reality, clad in armor and wielding a knight's sword.

Chapter 224 Shifting Situation

Ding!Ding!

The translucent bubbles burst in mid-air, each burst resembling a tiny star exploding, radiating brilliant colored light. In this dreamlike scene, two figures were rapidly passing each other.

The crisp sound of the knight's sword clashing with the longsword echoed through the dilapidated cavern after the surface of the memory realm had been stripped away. The ground flipped and shifted, like a grand stage changing its scenery for this battle.

However, the hidden crisis within this visual feast made 'Yellow Springs' in the midst of battle feel uneasy.

"Although I learned some swordsmanship from Huang Quan to ensure the perfection of my disguise, it was enough to handle regular combat."

But now there are two unidentified people nearby, and we need to reserve some strength, so we're finding ourselves in a bit of a predicament.

Should she give up this 'mask'? Hanabi hesitated. Distraction in the heat of battle was a major taboo, and for a moment her movements showed a subtle flaw.

boom!

The enemy clearly wouldn't let such an opportunity pass. The silver-white knight's greatsword slashed at 'Yellow Spring's' abdomen, turning her body into an arc shape. Then, under the power contained within, she was cleaved away and embedded in the mountainside.

"Is this what Hanabi meant by borrowing the power of order?"

Yu Tianyi, who was observing the battle between the two, also noticed something. The so-called borrowing of the power of order was to activate the power of order in the surrounding area, thereby greatly increasing the world's 'resistance' to chaos.

In layman's terms, it means making the air, land, and water more solid, thereby greatly reducing an individual's destructive power over the environment. However, members of the Order Sanctuary can ignore the effects and may even receive a certain boost.

With this addition and subtraction, the resulting difference is not insignificant, which explains why Hanabi said it would be difficult to contend with the existence of the Order Sanctuary.

"It seems that this method can only be most effective for individuals who have joined the Order Sanctuary but have not transformed into an Order form."

After all, the order form is somewhat similar to the meme body of the Memory Maker, which has basically lost the ability to interfere with reality. It can only exist in the perception of living beings, but cannot exert a material influence on the outside world.

While Yu Tianyi was pondering, after temporarily repelling 'Huang Quan', the suddenly appearing member of the Order Sanctuary turned his attention to the two people who were directly engaged in combat.

"A demon that disrupts order... Saintess, how could it be you!"

Just as March 7 was about to make his move, the blonde girl in silver armor showed an incredulous expression, and the knight's sword in her hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

A saintess? In this timeline, I am actually the saintess of the Order Sanctuary?

A buzzing sound came over March 7's head. No wonder both Sambo and this 'Yellow Spring' looked like they had seen a ghost when they saw him before.

"As expected, a bombshell has arrived. It seems that my instinctive reaction to that version of myself in this timeline three months ago contained a great deal of shady dealings, even far exceeding my previous guesses."

Although Yu Tianyi had some expectations, the amount of information revealed in the other party's words still surprised him.

"No, the Holy Maiden could not possibly associate with these demons. How dare they impersonate her! Xie Ying, Executor of the Order Sanctuary, your crimes are punished even more severely. Sentence to be handed down on the spot!"

After a brief moment of distraction, the blonde girl quickly realized something was wrong. Her expression changed from surprise to anger, and she reached out and grabbed the knight's lance that was slung over her back.

Golden ripples ignited in the air as the aura emanating from her ignited the surrounding air, distorting her environment. Clearly, she had unleashed her full power in a fit of rage.

"The first experiment will be soon. If we can act under Tianyi's shield without being detected by Him, then the subsequent actions will be much easier."

March 7th felt no threat whatsoever. In fact, she was still quite relaxed, thinking about her conversation with Yu Tianyi in the palace. The aura that the other party was showing now was indeed several times stronger than before, but even so, it was still far from hers.

The lance in Xie Ying's hand shone with a golden light, and she hurled it at March 7th with all her might, as if it were a javelin.

boom!

The deafening roar echoed throughout the cave, causing the rift in the memory domain, which had already been ruptured due to the battle between 'Huang Quan' and Xie Ying, to become completely uncontrollable. Countless memories began to leak out from it, obscuring the latter's perception.

"How can it be!"

After the torrent of memories subsided, the blonde girl fell silent again. Two smooth ice walls had appeared in front of her, and the lance she had thrown with all her might was now trapped between them, unable to move forward even an inch despite the golden light flashing on it.

It should be noted that although this attack may seem like a simple throw, it was an attack infused with the divine punishment of order, and in terms of speed alone, it was already a hundred times the speed of sound.

The fact that the two were able to create an ice wall at such speed and then perfectly trap and stop the lance she threw demonstrates the absolute difference in their strength.

Before Xie Ying could recover from her shock, she saw March 7 raise her hand and bring her five fingers together.

"Oh no, we must send the message immediately..."

The next moment, the thick layer of ice completely froze her, even stopping her thoughts and rendering her unable to take any further action.

"So strong! Who are these two? How could they defeat the Holy Temple's lackeys so easily?"

As soon as 'Huang Quan' freed itself from the mountain, it witnessed this shocking scene, and a feeling of horror immediately rose in its heart.
