Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

Her words immediately drew the ire of several elders.

”Where does that bitch Peng Yu get her confidence?”

”Exactly! A Cultivator who advanced using the Dual Cultivation Technique dares to boast so shamelessly! She really doesn’t know her place!”

”Where did she run off to? I’ll go teach her a lesson right now!”

”I’m coming too! I want to see for myself where she found the nerve to provoke us!”

Everyone was idle to begin with, and now, hearing how arrogant Peng Yu was, they naturally couldn’t resist going to deal with her.

Song Wanning continued, ”She headed north, looks like she’s going to that wasteland. But don’t you dare be careless. She learned some tricks from somewhere and managed to injure even me!”

The more she warned them to be careful, the more defiant it made them feel.

”Netherworld, since when did you become so timid? You really think she can get past all of us?”

”Just wait for us to avenge you!”

The elders laughed and joked as they ended the Communication Talisman call, then sped toward the wasteland at full tilt.

Her objective achieved, Song Wanning put away the Communication Talisman, a flicker of ridicule in her eyes.

’If Peng Yu hadn’t been ambushed, these people might have actually fallen into her Array. And yet, they still look down on her.’

’Then again, that’s to be expected. In the outside world, aren’t the disciples of the Hehuan Sect discriminated against just like this?’

No matter how high their Cultivation, other Cultivators held little respect for them, only suspicion and disdain.

Most even believed that the disciples of the Hehuan Sect were weak.

’In truth, it’s all just prejudice. I’ve fought a few people from the Hehuan Sect before, and some of them were exceptionally strong.’

She reined in her wandering thoughts and continued to pilot the flying carpet forward.

Bai Yang was burning with curiosity, like a cat was clawing at his heart, but his master had warned him not to ask any questions. He could only suppress his overflowing curiosity deep down.

But he had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen.

Bai Yang clenched his fists, wanting to speak but holding back. In the end, he obediently sat to the side, watching over the stupefied Peng Yu.

Soon, the flying carpet landed in the wasteland.

Song Wanning took her people and found a hidden cave nearby to settle in. She then used an Array Plate to conceal their presence before she began to wait for the others to arrive.

...

The wait lasted for five days before the first Divinity Transformation Elder finally arrived.

”Where is everyone? Why can’t I see any sign of you or Peng Yu?”

He took out his Communication Talisman and asked Song Wanning.

”Wait for the other elders first. Once everyone is here, I’ll lead you to capture her. I’m locking onto her position right now!”

Song Wanning replied to the Communication Talisman, the corner of her lips curling into a smile.

’The prey has finally arrived. The hunt will begin soon.’

Bai Yang, who had been holding back, couldn’t endure it any longer. ”Master, are you sure we can handle so many Divinity Transformation cultivators?”

”Maybe we should leave first.”

Although his master’s combat power was formidable, she stood no chance against a group of Divinity Transformation cultivators.

’We’re here to find a Pill Recipe, not to fight to the death!’

”Scared?”

Song Wanning lifted her gaze slightly, a soft chuckle escaping her lips.

”You used to be the type who feared nothing in heaven or on earth.”

The Bai Yang of the past was full of spirit and vigor; he had never once uttered the word ’scared’.

’Seeing him like this now is quite a novel experience.’

Hearing this, an unnatural expression flickered across Bai Yang’s face. Things were different now. In the past, he got whatever he wanted, his advancement speed was astonishing, and he constantly stumbled upon fortuitous encounters.

Back then, he felt like a chosen one of heaven, daring to face any danger.

But with the fall of his two junior brothers, he suddenly realized he was just an ordinary person who could also die.

Now he had become cautious, no longer daring to take risks so easily.

Bai Yang didn’t say anything, just hung his head, looking dejected.

Seeing this, a flash of derision crossed Song Wanning’s face. She said no more to him and looked out of the cave.

’Originally, I planned to use Peng Yu to lure the elders into the Array, but in order to draw Feng Jinchuan here, I have to temporarily abandon that plan.’

’Now I have to wait. Wait until all the elders have arrived, then I’ll reveal the Trial Tower.’

’I refuse to believe Feng Jinchuan will remain indifferent!’

...

「Two more days passed.」

The elders arrived one after another.

Song Wanning did a quick count and found that everyone had arrived. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly.

’These people must have been truly bored in the Secluded Land. The mere mention of Peng Yu was enough to bring them all running.’

Since everyone was here, it was time for her to make her entrance.

Song Wanning stood up and walked toward Peng Yu in the corner.

She had been worried that news of Peng Yu’s death would reach the elders’ ears, preventing them from being lured over, which was why she had kept her alive until now.

’She’s useless now, so there’s no need for her to continue living in this stupefied state.’

With a single sword strike, Song Wanning slit Peng Yu’s throat, taking her life. She then shattered her Nascent Soul, silencing her completely.

She casually picked up Peng Yu’s broken body, then said to Bai Yang, ”It’s dangerous outside. You wait here for now. Your master will call you when you’re needed!”

Without waiting to see if Bai Yang was willing or not, she left the cave with Peng Yu’s body, took a roundabout route, and then flew hurriedly toward the wasteland.

”It’s Netherworld!”

”Huh? He killed Peng Yu?”

The elders saw Song Wanning flying over from a distance, and a sense of disappointment washed over them.

They thought they would get to teach Peng Yu a good lesson, but it turned out she had already been dealt with.

Everyone sighed, their expressions souring.

By now, Song Wanning had flown before the group. With a THUD, she threw Peng Yu’s corpse to the ground and spat.

”Pah! She dared to boast so shamelessly, but didn’t I take care of her in the end!”

”You should have seen how arrogant she was before! She even dared to ambush me, and I ended up getting injured!”

”She’s lucky I didn’t tear her limb from limb!”

Song Wanning cursed as she glared at Peng Yu’s body. After she had her fill of cursing, she looked up and asked, ”What should we do with this body? Take it back to the Clan Leader?”

”Take it back. We need to present a body, one way or another. The Clan Leader will surely want to see it for himself.”

Elder Wulan thought for a moment, then took out a bag to put Peng Yu’s body in. He didn’t want the corpse to defile his Storage Ring.

Just as he finished packing up the body, a sudden change occurred.

A powerful fluctuation of Spiritual Power suddenly erupted from the quiet wasteland, shaking everyone so much that they couldn’t keep their footing.

Everyone immediately flew in all directions, teleporting away from the wasteland to a safe distance in the span of a single breath.

Seeing this, Song Wanning’s heart sank. ’Good thing I had a few tricks up my sleeve. Otherwise, with how fast these elders are, the Array might not have been able to trap all of them.’

The group retreated quickly, their expressions grave as they stared at the wasteland.

Before their very eyes, a tall tower slowly materialized, its spire reaching into the heavens, so high they couldn’t see the top.

Everyone’s pupils contracted as they stared at the tower in shock.

”What is this thing?”

”Has a rare treasure appeared?”

”In all these years, I’ve never heard of such a phenomenon in the wasteland!”
