Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

For the past two years, they had been extremely careful with every move. The people responsible for transporting the Spirit Stones were meticulously chosen, and every step required communication with the family before they dared to proceed.

They did all this to buy time and do their utmost to prevent the Spirit Vein from being discovered.

A Spirit Vein of this magnitude... if word got out, the Song Family definitely wouldn’t be able to protect it...

Mu Yuan’s words made Song Wanning frown. For some reason, a sense of panic welled up in her heart...

”Mother, leave the matter of the Spirit Vein to the Fifth Elder for now. You need to find a place to cultivate and prepare for your Heavenly Tribulation!”

The commotion from a Heavenly Tribulation would likely attract the attention of others, so they had to choose a remote location.

The existence of the Spirit Vein couldn’t be hidden forever. The stronger the Song Family became, the more say they would have when it was eventually exposed.

”Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Mu Yuan couldn’t bear to see her daughter frowning. Her heart ached as she reached out to smooth her brow, then immediately handed the matter over to the Fifth Elder.

After making a few more arrangements, the mother and daughter flew off into the distance.

Arriving outside the restrictive barrier, Mu Yuan took out a Spirit Boat. After they boarded, a mere day and night of travel brought them to a valley in the far distance.

Choosing a hidden cave, Mu Yuan sat in meditation, consumed the Seven-Colored Flower, and focused all her power on breaking through to the Divinity Transformation stage.

The thought of soon advancing to the highest cultivation level in the Lower World made Mu Yuan’s heart race with excitement.

The Seven-Colored Flower was so precious; she absolutely could not let it go to waste.

Mu Yuan closed her eyes and immersed herself in her cultivation.

Song Wanning acted as her protector, guarding the cave entrance, determined to let nothing and no one disturb her mother.

...

「Wind Spirit Domain, Feng Family Estate.」

The Feng Family Patriarch, dressed in black robes, sat in the center, toying with a small arrow in his hand with great interest.

Below him sat several people, all exuding unfathomably deep auras. The weakest among them was at the Early-stage Divinity Transformation realm.

”Clan Leader, for what reason have you summoned us here?” one of them asked.

The Feng Family Patriarch finally looked up at the question, revealing a stunningly beautiful, androgynous face.

A single glance was enough to make it seem as if everything else in the world had lost its color.

When he spoke, his voice was steady with a hint of a rasp. ”A message has come from the He Family. The power balance among the Human Clan’s families is about to shift. The Song Family has suddenly produced two new Divinity Transformation cultivators.”

”The Song Family? The same Song Family we were preparing to annex?”

Feng Youming’s expression darkened. ”Didn’t the Song Family have only one Divinity Transformation cultivator?”

”Hmph. They’re just a bunch of ants. If their family’s territory wasn’t situated right on top of a peak-grade dragon vein, who would even bother with a minor family like them?”

”Exactly! We want to expand our influence in the Human Clan, and we chose them. It’s their honor. Even if someone has advanced, they still have to obediently hand over their territory!” another person chimed in, agreeing with Feng Youming.

The contempt in everyone’s words was palpable, directed not just at the Song Family but at the entire Human Clan.

The Feng Family Patriarch, seated at the head, let out a low chuckle, a playful glint in his eyes.

”Breaking the restrictive barrier is now imminent. Soon, we’ll be able to leave... The Song Family is destined to be a prize for our Feng Family to claim.”

”How about this: Feng Youming, you’ll go out this time to probe their true strength.”

His gaze fell back to the small arrow, his indifferent expression now tinged with killing intent.

”The He Family’s words cannot be fully trusted, understand?”

’Even though the He Family is one of our running dogs, who can guarantee a dog won’t bite its master?’

’Besides, they aren’t fools. The He Family was so desperate to send them a message—wasn’t it just because they wanted the Feng Family to deal with the Song Family for them?’

’They want to use us as their blade?’

’Hah.’

”Yes!”

Feng Youming rose respectfully and accepted the mission.

He had long wanted to go out and see for himself what those members of the Human Clan were really like.

He took a step forward, grasped the key that led to the outside world, and then strode toward the door.

...

”Hahaha, He Xiao, the Song Family is done for!!!”

The He Family Master was ecstatic upon receiving the reply, a dark glint dancing in his eyes.

He clapped He Xiao on the shoulder. ”All the grievances you’ve suffered can now be avenged! Once they make their move, forget the Song Family—even the three top-tier families will be no match for them!”

The He Family Master felt refreshed and invigorated, the anger in his heart finally dissipated.

Ever since the Song Family had gained power, he hadn’t been able to sleep well, worrying about it day and night.

But now, everything was fine. Someone was finally going to deal with the Song Family.

He Xiao’s face was dark with humiliation, and he showed no signs of happiness at the news.

Two days ago, he had led disciples from the Sect to recruit new members and had endured the most agonizing day of his life.

The people from the other sects had been sarcastic and passive-aggressive toward him, their mocking words stabbing into his chest like sharp blades...

His former glory was long gone. He had become someone anyone could bully, yet he couldn’t find the words to refute them.

Later, he couldn’t hold back and ended up fighting a Nascent Soul Cultivator. After returning to the Sect, he was harshly reprimanded by Wu Ying.

The other elders also accused him of being impulsive and disregarding the bigger picture, which nearly made him explode with anger.

Now, He Xiao was utterly fed up with the Heavenly Inquiry Sect. He decided he wouldn’t be going back anytime soon!

He would stay with the He Family and wait to see Song Wanning get her comeuppance!

’And as for those snobs in the Heavenly Inquiry Sect, they’ll definitely beg me to come back then!’

He Xiao’s eyes were dark and gloomy as he asked, ”Brother, are you sure they can be dealt with this time? I don’t want to get my hopes up for nothing again...”

’Between him and Song Wanning, it had to be a fight to the death. There was no other possibility.’

”Don’t worry. The ones helping us are...”

The He Family Master stopped himself there, revealing only a mysterious smile.

”Just you wait and see. The Song Family is about to meet its end! And our He Family... we’ll soon be joining the ranks of the top-tier families!”

”If they oppose our He Family, there’s only one path for them: death!”

”Hahaha.”

The He Family Master roared with laughter, full of confidence.

He Xiao’s furrowed brow gradually relaxed. Although his brother was being secretive, he could vaguely guess what was going on.

His heart was filled with malice.

’Song Wanning... just you wait to die!’

...

「Seven days passed in a flash.」

Limitless Spiritual Power finally began surging into the cave behind her. A swarm of Spiritual Energy rushed in, nearly flooding the entire valley.

Song Wanning stood at the mouth of the cave with a solemn expression, only letting out a slow breath of relief when the tribulation clouds appeared on the horizon.

But she didn’t dare let her guard down, once again releasing her Divine Sense to confirm the safety of their surroundings.

Fortunately, the place they had chosen was quite remote. She found no traces of humans, only some demon beasts at most.

When the demon beasts sensed the Heavenly Tribulation approaching, they quickly fled, and the area was soon cleared out.

Mu Yuan flew out of the cave as well, giving Song Wanning a reassuring look before soaring into the sky.

Song Wanning was all too familiar with Heavenly Tribulations.

She remained on high alert, watching one tribulation bolt after another descend, the light in her eyes growing brighter.

’In the upcoming negotiations, our Song Family must fight for what we deserve.’

’Only by obtaining those resources and access to the Secret Realms can the Song Family truly prosper and flourish.’
