Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

BOOM—

BOOM—

The bolts of the Heavenly Tribulation struck one after another. Mu Yuan stubbornly endured each one, refusing to yield even when she was charred black.

Watching that steadfast figure, the smile on Song Wanning’s lips deepened.

’Father and Mother are both exceptionally talented. This life, unburdened by their own troubles, they will surely be able to forge their own paths.’

’The Song Family’s rise is just one part of it. I’m more hopeful that our family can reunite in the Spirit Realm, or even the Immortal Realm...’

Bold ideas flashed through her mind. In the blink of an eye, Mu Yuan had completed her tribulation. All her strength left her, and she collapsed to the ground.

Soon, a multicolored light appeared, mending her battered body. She looked even more radiant than before.

Mu Yuan was stunningly beautiful, but compared to Song Wanning, she appeared much more reserved and gentle.

But those who knew her well understood that despite her gentle appearance, Mu Yuan had an iron fist. She handled matters cleanly and decisively, and everyone in the family respected her authority.

"Wan Ning, we succeeded!"

A dark gleam flashed in Mu Yuan’s eyes, her ambition growing rapidly.

’My daughter was right. The Song Family’s goal was never just to join the ranks of the top families, but to stand above all of them.’

"Come, let’s head back to the Spirit Vein first!"

Mu Yuan eagerly took out her Spirit Boat. She wouldn’t feel at ease until she was back at the Spirit Vein.

"Alright!"

Song Wanning nodded, and the mother-daughter duo hurried back toward the Spirit Vein.

「Meanwhile」 The He Family received a mysterious and powerful figure.

This figure was dressed in a black robe that completely concealed his body and aura, yet he projected an imposing and unhurried pressure that inspired awe and fear.

The He Family Master personally greeted the powerful figure at the entrance, his attitude respectful and humble the entire time. This caused quite a stir within the He Family.

"Who was that just now? He just glanced at me, and I felt like I was being sliced to pieces... It was terrifying!"

"Yeah, and his eyes were gray, did you guys see?"

"Right, those pupils didn’t look human. They looked more like a demon’s..."

"Shh, don’t talk nonsense! How could our Family Head possibly welcome a Great Demon? Are you out of your mind?"

"Er... I was just making a comparison. It was mainly his eyes..."

"What do you guys think that big shot is here at the He Family for?"

"Who knows? But seeing how excited the Family Head is, it must be something good!"

"..."

Many disciples felt their minds wander, a faint sense of anticipation growing within them.

The stronger the family, the more resources they would get.

With the recent rise of the Song Family, they were green with envy!

When would it be their turn for such good fortune?

Inside the He Family’s main hall, the He Family Master was enthusiastically entertaining Feng Youming. However, he was a little disappointed that the other party had only sent Feng Youming alone.

But on second thought, it was understandable. They certainly wouldn’t dispatch a large force to kill someone based on his word alone. Sending an advance party first was normal.

Just as he was about to speak, Feng Youming cut straight to the point, "When are the Song Family’s negotiations? This master will go and join the fun."

His tone was casual, clearly showing he didn’t take the He Family Master seriously.

If he weren’t unfamiliar with the situation of the Human Clan, he would have gone to the Song Family himself long ago.

The He Family Master’s heart stuttered. Sensing the other man’s disdain, he felt a flicker of displeasure.

But the moment he thought of the power behind this man, he immediately forced a smile. "The negotiations for the top families are set for three days from now, to be held at the Ning Family’s estate!"

"But the He Family is not a top-tier family, so we cannot attend..."

Hearing this, Feng Youming’s brow furrowed, and he cut him off coldly, "So you’re saying you’re not qualified to participate? Then why did you call us here?"

"What a useless fool!"

He instantly unleashed his aura. The He Family Master was immediately enveloped by the pressure and dropped to his knees with a THUD.

A flash of shock appeared in his eyes, quickly replaced by a face flushed with shame and boiling with rage.

’The person I met before was perfectly polite to me and said we could cooperate.’

’Coupled with my desire to raise the He Family’s status, I agreed. Who would have thought this man would treat me like this!’

He was furious and utterly humiliated, but he was already in too deep. He could only bite the bullet and see it through to the end.

Otherwise, that other party wouldn’t let him off the hook.

The He Family Master suppressed the trembling in his body and his seething anger, replying, "I can introduce Senior to the Ning Family..."

The moment he finished speaking, Feng Youming nonchalantly retracted his aura and reached out to help the He Family Master up.

"See? You should have said that earlier. You made this master misunderstand you."

A smile hung on his face, but it didn’t reach his eyes.

’That was just a show of force to make the He Family Master understand his place, lest he try to step over me.’

’It seems the He Family Master is a discerning dog. I’ll keep him around for a bit of fun for now.’

The He Family Master forced a strained smile. For the sake of his own hopes of ascension, and for the He Family, he endured it.

’As long as I can achieve my goal, it’s worth it!’

Soon, he contacted the Ning Family Head.

Feng Youming had no idea how the communication went, but late that night, the He Family Master led him to the Transmission Array in the city.

Beyond the Transmission Array was another prosperous city. Not only was it ten times the size of an ordinary city, but the Spiritual Energy within it was also exceptionally pure.

The cultivators in the city all looked refreshed and vigorous, and the entire city appeared to be governed in an orderly fashion.

Feng Youming raised an eyebrow. ’Although this place is a far cry from the Wind Spirit Domain, it looks pretty good.’

’Once we take over the Song Family and awaken that top-tier dragon vein...’

’...all these places will be turned to dust in an instant.’

He strode boldly toward the Ning Mansion in the city and was soon received with hospitality by the Ning Family.

Feng Youming was a Divinity Transformation cultivator. The Ning Family only had three such cultivators in total, so of course, they didn’t dare to slight him.

Upon learning that his guest had come because of the Song Family’s promotion, the Ning Family Head narrowed his eyes, a thoughtful look flashing within them.

Their three families had dominated for countless years. Now, a Song Family had suddenly appeared, wanting to snatch resources from their hands. Naturally, none of the three families were willing to allow it.

’Everyone is already prepared to make things difficult for the Song Family and minimize the resources they have to give up. Now that another Divinity Transformation cultivator has appeared, it’s even better!’

The Ning Family Head readily agreed. After all, with three of his own Divinity Transformation cultivators guarding the family, and with the Divinity Transformation cultivators from the other two families also attending, he wasn’t afraid of Feng Youming trying any tricks.

’It would be even better if I could get Feng Youming to confront the Song Family directly, allowing us to reap the rewards without any effort...’

A sharp glint flashed in the Ning Family Head’s eyes as he began to plot how to use Feng Youming.

Feng Youming merely smiled. His main purpose in coming this time was to probe the Song Family’s true strength and look for weaknesses.

’After all, to occupy the territory of a Human Clan family, one needs a perfect pretext...’

...

Song Wanning was still completely unaware of what was happening at the Ning Family’s estate.

She and Mu Yuan returned to the Song Family. The family deliberated for a long time, and finally, the day of the negotiations arrived.

The original patriarch and the elders remained behind to guard the family and the Spirit Vein, while Song Qingyun’s family of three went to the negotiations personally.

The moment they stepped out the door, countless pairs of eyes were fixed on them.

Everyone wanted to see what kind of deal the Song Family could negotiate...
