Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

"But I wonder about that dragon vein beneath the Song Family’s land. If we activate it, will the Spiritual Power in the Secluded Land be abundant enough?"

"Youming, tell us, what’s the situation with the dragon vein?"

Elder Wulan looked at Song Wanning and asked with a puzzled expression.

Only the Clan Leader and Feng Youming had seen the dragon vein, so naturally, only they knew the details.

Song Wanning lifted her gaze slightly and replied, "It should be more than enough."

’It’s a complete, top-tier dragon vein, after all...’

’Its power is on another level.’

"Hiss! If that’s true, then we must prepare well."

Everyone’s eyes lit up. If you had to say who wanted to leave the most, it was undoubtedly them, the Divinity Transformation cultivators.

As long as they could get out and cultivate properly, ascension would be within their grasp.

A sharp glint flashed in Elder Wulan’s eyes, and the corner of his mouth curved into a cold sneer.

"Possessing a treasure you can’t protect is a crime in itself. The Song Family is sitting on this fortune completely unaware. They deserve to be eliminated!"

"In my opinion, we should just kill them all. Why bother with all these roundabout schemes?"

His words were full of contempt and disdain.

The Song Family only has a few Divinity Transformation cultivators. Aren’t they ours to crush as we please?

"Not at all. The Clan Leader isn’t afraid of the Song Family, but of the other cultivators in the outside world. You all are just too impulsive. Listening to the Clan Leader is never a mistake!"

"It would be one thing if the Song Family knew what was good for them and handed over their clan land. But if they truly refuse to comply, we’ll have no choice but to slaughter their entire clan!"

"Hahaha, our ascension is just around the corner!"

The group of elders seemed to see the path to ascension unfolding before them, their hearts soaring with ambitions that threatened to pierce the heavens.

Song Wanning listened in silence, her fingers clenched into tight fists.

Her cold gaze swept over the crowd, burning their hideous expressions into her memory as a chilling killing intent rose in her heart.

’It’s true that in the Cultivation World, the strong prey on the weak. But these people talk about clan annihilation and mass slaughter at the drop of a hat. Aren’t they afraid of being consumed by karma?’

...

After parting ways with the elders, Song Wanning’s mood was still unbelievably foul as she sped toward the mountain cave.

Everyone had now split up to search for Peng Yu’s whereabouts, but she, under the reasoning that "the most dangerous place is the safest," was searching in the opposite direction, toward the Feng Family’s territory.

She had just activated the Communication Talisman and heard Bai Yang’s frantic voice, which made her even more anxious.

’Bai Yang must not be exposed. It’s not time for him to show himself yet.’

Just as she was rushing there at full speed, Bai Yang’s situation back in the cave was becoming more dire.

The cave had only one exit; he had nowhere to run even if he wanted to. Seeing that Peng Yu had already broken through the first Array Plate, his heart sank to the depths.

’If this keeps up, I’ll be done for before Master even arrives.’

He stood just inside the cave entrance, able to do nothing but brace himself for the inevitable.

Time ticked by, and Peng Yu finally reached the last step.

She wiped the sweat from her brow. Her face was a little pale. Although she had some skill with arrays, disabling so many Array Plates had taken a great deal of effort.

’That bastard Feng Youming... honestly. It’s just a stupid cave. Did he really need to throw so many Array Plates here?’

’Or is there some kind of treasure inside?’

Peng Yu narrowed her eyes, a dark glint flashing within them. If there really was treasure, then her efforts wouldn’t have been in vain.

Looking at the Array before her, she took out two more Spirit Stones and placed them in their corresponding positions.

For a moment, the Array in front of her shimmered like light, rippling gently before quickly falling silent again.

’Success!!!!!!’

Outside the cave, Peng Yu’s eyes lit up; inside, Bai Yang’s heart went cold. Things had just gotten dangerous.

’Why isn’t Master here yet?!!’

He was frantic, his heart lodged in his throat.

Suddenly, Peng Yu’s expression hardened, and she took a sharp step into the cave.

Bai Yang instantly shot backward, putting as much distance between himself and Peng Yu as possible.

The two stood at opposite ends of the space, their expressions grim.

"Who are you? Why are you here? What’s your relationship with Feng Youming?"

As she fired off the three questions, Peng Yu cursed inwardly. She thought she’d found a sanctuary, but it turned out she’d delivered herself right to their doorstep.

She quickly swept the area outside with her Divine Sense, and her heart sank bit by bit.

’Are Feng Youming and the Feng Family on their way here right now?’

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t suppress her killing intent. She raised a hand and, with a single move, yanked Bai Yang into her grasp.

She gripped Bai Yang’s neck in a deathly chokehold.

"You—let me go! I don’t know any Feng Youming."

Bai Yang’s face turned purple, his body completely suppressed by her powerful aura, leaving him unable to fight back.

"It’s true, I’m not lying! I don’t know Feng Youming."

His words made Peng Yu’s hand pause. A flicker of suspicion crossed her eyes. "Is that so? You don’t know Feng Youming?"

"Then why are you here?"

Her grip loosened slightly, allowing Bai Yang to answer properly.

"Yes. I was just passing through and wanted to rest for a bit, so I set up a few Array Plates."

"I didn’t expect to cause a misunderstanding. Senior, could you please let me go first?"

A look of fear appeared in Bai Yang’s eyes, and he put on a cowering display, but secretly, he was calculating how to escape from the jaws of death.

Peng Yu’s brow furrowed, and then she let out a cold laugh. Staring at Bai Yang’s face, she sneered mockingly.

"Did you think your petty little tricks could fool me? Tsk, how ridiculous."

"No matter who you are, you’re a dead man in my eyes."

A vicious glint flashed in her eyes as she raised her other hand to strike Bai Yang.

If this palm strike landed, Bai Yang’s head would instantly burst open.

"Let me go!"

Bai Yang’s expression changed drastically. He clearly hadn’t expected Peng Yu to attack so suddenly.

He cried out in terror but was completely unable to break through her restraints to counterattack, forced to watch helplessly as her palm descended.

In that instant, his mind was filled with a single thought: his Master.

The palm fell.

"BOOM—"

A bolt of Heavenly Thunder crashed down in an instant, striking Peng Yu squarely.

A terrifying pressure swept over her, completely engulfing her in an instant.

Bai Yang was also caught in the blast and fell unconscious instantly. But on closer inspection, there wasn’t a single mark on his body from the lightning strike.

...

The Heavenly Thunder dissipated, gradually revealing Peng Yu.

Her expression was one of absolute horror. Her entire body was charred black, and her full head of black hair had been burned to ash, leaving her completely bald.

She stood stunned for a few seconds before her heart started to POUND. She turned to look at the man lying on the ground.

’That Heavenly Thunder just now... did it strike down for his sake?’

’Just what is this person’s background?’

Peng Yu’s mind raced. She quickly swept her Divine Sense over Bai Yang, and suddenly, her eyes lit up.

She stared in disbelief for two seconds, then lunged toward Bai Yang. She looked him over and over again, completely incredulous.

After checking him over and over again to be certain, Peng Yu’s eyes suddenly reddened, and she began to laugh like a madwoman.

"Hahaha, the heavens are helping me! They’re truly helping me!"

With a crazed look on her face, she scooped up Bai Yang and flew quickly out of the cave.

’To think I searched high and low for this, and it just fell right into my lap!’
