The improved female villains regained their memories.

"..."

"If you were given another chance, what would you do?"

"I will take my revenge."

The red-haired saintess lay on the ground, her bloodied fingernails digging into the dirt, filled with hatred.

"I will kill all those high and mighty immortals, all those bastards who spout benevolence and morality, and all those who harmed my loved ones."

Even if it means risking everything?

"Even if it costs me everything!"

"Alright." The azure remnant soul smiled and began transmitting memories to Xu Anyin.

"I have a deadly immortal technique here called the Soul Return Technique."

"Don't underestimate this killing move. Although it's not a devastating move, nor is it a particularly powerful offensive or defensive move, it is still the essence of my life's research."

"It is a spacetime-type immortal technique."

There is no other such unique killing move in this world that combines time and space.

While Xu Anyin was still in shock, the remnant soul said, "It can go back to the past, but the price is the death of the physical body. Not the current physical body, but your own physical body. Whether it is the past, present, or future, your physical body on this timeline will die."

Go back to the past, but at the cost of death.

It's a completely contradictory and deadly move.

But Xu Anyin understood what the remnant soul meant and said, "So, my soul is still here, right?"

"You are a promising student." The remnant soul smiled with satisfaction. "Indeed, the Soul Return Technique, in essence, is to send one's soul back at the cost of physical death. I also have two other immortal killing moves here, one called Sharing Glory and Shame, and the other called Usurping the Nest. You can learn them both."

Sharing honor and disgrace allows the soul to reside within one person's body, thus ensuring the soul's preservation.

The cuckoo can take over the magpie's nest, allowing the soul to control the host's body, and even transform the host's body into its own.

"Want to gamble? Once you use this technique, you will lose all your True Immortal cultivation, and the foundation of your soul will be suppressed to the Earth Immortal realm. If you want to cultivate, you can only rely on the 'cuckoo in the nest' method, but in the end, you are cultivating someone else's body—unless you can completely transform the other person's body into your own through the 'cuckoo in the nest' method. Also, the Great Dao traces that you have condensed over the years may be taken away by other souls because the souls are in the same body. It can be said that by using the Soul Returning Technique, you have lost everything."

"So, do you want to use it? Bet everything and start over."

Silence returned to the cave.

A gust of wind blew in from the cave entrance, stirring the crimson hair, stained with blood, like a raging inferno.

"You're saying... I've lost everything?"

She smiled and wiped the blood from her mouth: "No, for me, this is equivalent to getting everything back."

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the remnant soul.

"Thank you, senior, for your guidance."

Let's start over.

I'd stake everything on the immortals, I'd do it all again.

She wanted revenge.

The princess, who had nothing, was determined to take revenge, even at the cost of everything.

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Transaction

Reborn, his true immortal cultivation has vanished.

However, it's not without its advantages; Xu An's ability to remain hidden in the shadows is his greatest strength.

In the eyes of the world, one of the twins was already dead, and Xu Anlu had no talent for cultivating immortality, making her no different from a useless person.

Ling Yan'er never imagined that her nominal daughter would have another soul from the future. And this soul, possessing the qualities of an immortal, was plotting revenge.

She hid in the shadows, watching the mice of the night like an owl.

Until now, he has been exposed.

"Yin, it's rare to see you like this."

The extra tutor revealed the most important secret, and Xu Anyin's body stiffened, a red light flashing in his eyes.

"Grand Tutor, what did you just call me?"

He said, "Hidden."

It's not a small reveal, it's not a revelation, it's a concealment.

Xu Anyin.

This name could never exist in this world; the only person who knows it is Xu Anlu, and it was Xu Anlu who told her about it.

The twins were born on a rainy night, amidst thunder. One of the babies died, and the mother didn't even have time to name it.

Soul residing is a highly secretive matter, and with the addition of time travel, even a true immortal might not be able to uncover the truth.

But the person in front of me.

Xu Anyin was filled with surprise and doubt, and even his expression froze.

Are you scared?

Yang Pingsheng sighed and said as the system had instructed, "Yin, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

This time, you heard right.

It is indeed hidden.

The form is changing.

Her black hair turned crimson, and her entire demeanor changed. In the blink of an eye, she appeared on Yang Pingsheng, her fingertip touching his Adam's apple.

Xu Anyin used a second method of manipulation to completely transform this body into his own.

"Grand Tutor, who exactly are you?"

Her face was gloomy. Although she looked like a little girl, she had inappropriately long red hair that brushed against Yang Pingsheng's cheek, bringing a faint fragrance.

Fiery red spiritual energy swirled around his fingertips; one more step forward, and he could tear his opponent's throat apart.

"Hidden." Yang Pingsheng said without changing his expression, "Do you intend to kill your master?"

"Ridiculous, I don't even know you."

"That year, on a snowy night, you were being chased by the immortals. I saved you and brought you into the Demonic Sect. Don't you remember?"

"You are the cult leader?" Xu Anyin was shocked, his body trembled involuntarily, and he withdrew his finger.

That year, Xu Anlu died, and the Great Yan Dynasty was taken over by Ling Yan'er. She fled in a sorry state, hiding here and there. Because there was a wanted poster for her in the city, she could only hide in the wild.

It was a white, snowy night. She was starving and freezing, and she collapsed on the ground, letting the heavens and earth cover her with snow as a blanket.

She was penniless, injured, and hadn't eaten or drunk anything for days. She was on the verge of death. Just then, a mysterious hooded figure appeared and saved her.

He took her into the Demonic Cult, appointed her as its Holy Maiden, and later handed the entire cult over to her before leaving and disappearing without a trace.

He led her onto the path of cultivation, but he didn't let her become a disciple, and he rarely even showed his face. In the end, he even entrusted the Demonic Sect to her and disappeared without a trace.

He claimed to be the leader of the Demonic Sect, but Xu Anyin did not know his name, had never seen his face, and naturally knew nothing about him.

Now, the Grand Tutor who had inexplicably appeared before him was actually claiming to be the former leader of the Demonic Sect, which gave Xu An'yin a dreamlike feeling.

"you……"

"Aren't you getting off me?"

Having withdrawn her fingers, Xu Anyin now pressed her entire body against Yang Pingsheng's upper body, her fiery red hair hanging straight down to Yang Pingsheng's knees.

She looked up in a daze, only to meet Yang Pingsheng's eyes, which startled her so much that she jumped down.

"ah!"

"I thought you'd be more mature after traveling back from the past," Yang Pingsheng frowned slightly. "Why are you still so reckless?"

"Teacher, leader."

"He is now the Grand Tutor."

"Grand Tutor".

Having once been a true immortal, she quickly calmed down, pondered for a moment, and tentatively asked, "Are you... also someone who traveled back from the future?"

"You asked a pointless question."

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Xu Anyin lowered his head, something flashing in his dark and unfathomable eyes.

Yang Pingsheng looked at it and said:

"Yin, I want to make a deal with you."

Everything has changed, yet it seems like nothing has changed at all.

What changed was Xu Anyin; what remained the same was Xu Anlu. Yang Pingsheng finally agreed to let her attend the class, but in reality, it was Xu Anyin who came to listen.

In the morning, Xu Anyin would listen to Yang Pingsheng's lectures, while Xu Anlu would practice her boxing in her consciousness space. In the evening, Xu Anyin would return her body to Xu Anlu, who would then practice boxing under Yang Pingsheng's guidance.

The past and future timelines were intertwined, and what confused Xu Anyin was that Yang Pingsheng had promised to help her take revenge.

He had influence in the court and a background with the Wentian Sect. If he helped, he could do things that Xu Anyin couldn't do. But the prerequisite was that Xu Anyin had to come and listen to his lectures.

This was basically no big deal. Xu Anyin also wanted to hear the last part of Sun Tzu's Art of War. What she couldn't figure out was why Yang Pingsheng wanted to help her.

However, after careful consideration, Xu Anyin decided to wait and see for the time being.

She is now just a spirit, and Xu Anlu is too weak. Yang Pingsheng's background is unfathomable, so offending him would not be a good thing.

It's alright, at least his lectures are quite interesting, Xu Anyin thought.

That's what she thought before class.

Then, Yang Pingsheng began to talk about his benevolence and righteousness.

"Once upon a time, there was a man named Mencius. He traveled tirelessly to a distant state called Liang. The King of Liang asked, 'Old sir, you have come all this way; is it to bring benefit to my state?' Mencius replied, 'Why do you speak of profit and not benevolence and righteousness? You speak of how it benefits my state, the ministers speak of how it benefits my fiefdom, and the officials and common people speak of how it benefits themselves. If everyone forgets benevolence and righteousness and only speaks of profit, then he will not be satisfied until all the benefits are completely stripped away. A benevolent person will not abandon their parents, and a righteous person will not neglect their ruler. Your Majesty should only speak of benevolence and righteousness; why speak of profit?'"

Xiao Hua and Xiao Zhu looked at each other in bewilderment, while Xu Anyin was increasingly annoyed.

Why is the old man suddenly talking about benevolence and righteousness? Didn't he talk about it perfectly well when he was scheming and plotting in battle?
