Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

The black mass of light was still rapidly fusing with the Tai Chi Diagram.

The Divine Thunder roiled within the mix.

Above the dragon vein, lightning flashed with astonishing power. All that remained were waves of thunderous roars and the pained cries of the Golden Small Sword.

...

Time passed quickly, and the Tai Chi Diagram finally fused completely with the black mass of light.

The originally black-and-white pattern had quietly transformed.

Although it was still evenly split between black and white, the black was now distinctly, immeasurably deeper.

It even emanated a strange aura that instilled fear in any who looked upon it, daring them not to approach.

And the moment the fusion was complete, a terrifying power erupted from the Tai Chi Diagram.

With a deafening BOOM...

The Divine Thunder above the dragon vein exploded.

Song Wanning’s body was thrown into the air by the shockwave.

Only when the last vestiges of the Divine Thunder reluctantly dissipated did her figure slowly descend, returning to the nail-sized spot.

Everything fell silent.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was gone without a trace.

Song Wanning lay on the ground. Her stiff fingers twitched, and she slowly pushed herself up.

She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a flicker of joyous surprise in her eyes.

’I thought it was a hopeless situation, but I ended up being the one to overcome it.’

’And I owe it all to the Demon God’s help.’

Song Wanning stood up, her gaze profound as she looked toward the sky.

Suddenly, a grin spread across her face, and she once again shot the Heavenly Dao a provocative smile.

’Even after breaking the rules, the Heavenly Dao still can’t kill me!’

"Hahaha—"

Song Wanning burst into unrestrained laughter.

’The Demon God was right. My destiny is my own to control—not even the Heavenly Dao can interfere!’

Only when the last of the gloom in her heart had dissipated did Song Wanning finally stop laughing and embrace the badly frightened Golden Small Sword and Divine Nether Profound Fire.

"I thought you— Sister—"

The Golden Small Sword was truly terrified. That Nine Heavens Divine Thunder had been horrifying, clearly bent on annihilating its master.

Although the Divine Nether Profound Fire couldn’t speak, it pressed tightly against Song Wanning, filled with lingering fear.

’My two little companions were genuinely worried about me.’

A warmth spread through Song Wanning’s heart as she stroked their heads.

"It’s all right. The Heavenly Dao can’t kill me!"

Her gaze fell upon the nail-sized spot, a strange glint in her eyes.

"Now that all obstacles have been removed, it’s time to awaken the dragon vein!"

...

In the courtyard, everyone wore incredibly solemn expressions.

Song Huai was extremely worried. The disturbance in the courtyard just now had been too astonishing; it was sure to attract the attention of others.

A chill ran down Song Huai’s spine just thinking about that terrifying power.

He was a dignified Divinity Transformation cultivator, yet he had been completely immobilized by some unknown force. He had no idea how long had passed before he regained his freedom of movement.

Although he hadn’t been physically harmed, the shock and panic in his heart refused to fade.

’Wan Ning is still underground. Did the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder hurt her?’

’What’s the situation now?’

Song Huai’s mind was filled with questions, but he had no one to ask.

Just as he was about to send a message to Song Qingyun, he suddenly sensed something was wrong, and his expression changed slightly.

He had spotted familiar faces on the city streets, and they were now heading toward the courtyard.

It was the people from the three great families, followed by the Family Heads and elders of other families.

Several dozen people were rushing over with grave expressions, their target clearly this very courtyard.

’This is bad! What are these people doing here?’

Song Huai’s face darkened, and he quickly notified Song Qingyun.

’With so many people rushing over, it doesn’t look like they’re here for a friendly visit.’

’The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder in the city must have alerted them.’

’But how did they get here so fast?’

Song Huai’s heart sank. He had underestimated just how covetous these families were of the Song Family.

The Song Family’s sudden rise was just too tempting.

These families had been watching the Song Family, trying to uncover their secrets. Now, at the slightest disturbance, they came running, terrified of being a step too late and missing an opportunity.

’How despicable!’

However, the people had already arrived. He could only wait and see what would happen.

Song Huai glanced back toward the rockery, then strode toward the main gate.

Meanwhile, the group led by the Ning Family Patriarch was speeding toward the courtyard.

The shock and fear from before were still vivid in their minds, further convincing them that the Song Family was anything but ordinary.

If the Song Family had truly discovered some incredible opportunity, then they had to get a piece of the pie.

Since they had stumbled upon this opportunity, it was destined to be shared among them all.

"He Family Master is truly prescient! Judging by that commotion just now, the Song Family’s secret is definitely not small!"

"Once we get there, we’ll be able to figure out how they’ve been advancing so quickly!"

"We all need to hurry up! The phenomenon has already vanished. We can’t let the Song Family hoard the treasure for themselves..."

At this point, everyone was convinced that an incredible treasure had appeared in the Song Family residence. The terrifying power from moments ago was something that even Divinity Transformation cultivators wouldn’t dare to face head-on.

The fact that they had all been immobilized was particularly horrifying.

If some villain had suddenly appeared, they would have all been finished.

Although the Clan Leaders of the three great families didn’t join the chatter, they pushed their speed to the absolute limit, clearly worried that the Song Family would deny everything and secretly keep the treasure for themselves.

The dozens of people spurred onward, finally arriving outside the courtyard two minutes later.

They saw Song Huai standing at the gate from a distance, which only strengthened their suspicions. They exchanged glances and walked forward to meet him.

A sarcastic smile played on Song Huai’s lips as he questioned them, "So many fellow cultivators have come from far and wide. Is there some important matter to attend to?"

"Or have you simply missed this old one after not seeing me for so long?"

His passive-aggressive words caused the expressions of many to shift, especially the Family Heads of the great families, none of whom dared to look directly at Song Huai.

The aura of a Divinity Transformation cultivator radiating from him was astounding. If the three great families weren’t leading the charge, the others wouldn’t have dared to act so presumptuously.

The three great families remained silent, but the He Family Master raised his eyelids and replied, "Ancestor Song, we have come on this occasion because we heard a disturbance occurred in the Song Family’s city, one that actually attracted the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!"

"Tell me, with something this major, we surely couldn’t just sit by and do nothing, right?"

"Of course, we had to come and help. After all, the Song Family and our He Family were once the best of allies. Hehehe..."

The He Family Master had a smile on his face and an amiable, friendly demeanor, showing not the slightest fear of Song Huai.

After all, they had brought Divinity Transformation Ancestors with them this time—four of them, in fact. Song Huai couldn’t possibly stir up any trouble.

Even if all the Song Family’s Divinity Transformation cultivators showed up, they wouldn’t be afraid.

’In any case, if the Song Family doesn’t hand over a share of the treasure today, they won’t be getting away easily.’

As the He Family Master thought of this, the smile in his eyes grew even wider.

’Treasures stir the hearts of men. No matter what the Song Family chooses, this matter certainly won’t be resolved easily today.’

’If everyone works together, we might even be able to make the Song Family suffer a great loss...’

’It would be even better if the Song Family resisted to the death. Then everyone would have a reason to act and viciously strip a layer of skin off them!’
