Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

As she was immersed, a clear voice suddenly rang in her ear.

’Those two have decent Alchemy, but their luck is average. In fact, it seems to be trending toward misfortune...’

’These three, on the other hand, have luck so strong it’s practically bursting.’

The two short sentences were so abrupt that they startled Song Wanning.

In that single breath of time, a small hitch occurred in the fusion of the Elixir Liquid.

Song Wanning quickly stabilized her mind, cast all thoughts aside, and shut off the Three Lives Mirror.

She immediately began to salvage the compromised Elixir Liquid, feeling no panic in her heart.

But the people below the stage had seen it all clearly.

Wu Qingfeng’s lips curled, and he almost laughed out loud.

’So what if she inherited an alchemy legacy?’

’She’s still a good-for-nothing!’

’Let’s see how she plans to compete with the two disciples from the Medicine King Sect now!’

The spectators below also began to murmur; after all, Song Wanning’s performance in the previous round had been outstanding.

”Looks like she was just lucky last time and happened to get an Elixir Pill she’s good at!”

”Yeah, look, she’s already made a mistake. She’s probably going to fail this round!”

”What a shame. I actually had high hopes for her...”

”Tch, high hopes? With disciples from the Medicine King Sect here, she doesn’t stand a chance!”

”Exactly. This is her true level. Just you wait and see, she’s definitely getting eliminated this round!”

”But she seems pretty calm to me?”

”It’s all an act. She just doesn’t want to make it too ugly for herself...”

Their opinions of Song Wanning were mixed, but with no personal stake in the matter, the crowd soon turned their attention to the other contestants.

However, the Fourth Elder and Huo Jinchuan kept their eyes fixed on Song Wanning, frowning in confusion at her mistake.

This was especially true for the Fourth Elder. She had seen Song Wanning perform Alchemy many times and had never witnessed her make a mistake. This error was clearly caused by a lapse in concentration.

’How could she get distracted on such an important occasion?’

...

Song Wanning paid no mind to the crowd’s opinions and thoughts. There was only one set of medicinal ingredients. Now that the fusion process had gone wrong, it would be difficult for the pill to reach top quality, even if she managed to finish it.

She immediately covered the furnace, then drew Demonic Qi from her body and channeled it into the Immortal Furnace.

But because the Immortal Furnace was of an extremely high grade, no one could detect the Demonic Qi inside.

”Hiss... Has she given up and decided to just wreck it? The ingredients haven’t even fully liquefied, why is she covering it already?”

”She messed up. Her Dao heart must be unstable!”

”She’s young, it’s normal.”

Some people noticed Song Wanning’s actions and shook their heads in pity.

At this rate, Song Wanning’s elimination was a foregone conclusion.

Wu Qingfeng, on the other hand, was beaming with undisguised glee.

He deliberately got up, walked over to the Fourth Elder, and let out a theatrical sigh.

”When your esteemed sect went to the trouble of sending someone to bring her over, I just knew she had to be a talent. And now, seeing this, it seems I was right.”

He gave a sarcastic curl of his lips, not even trying to hide the gloating look in his eyes.

After all, his true feelings were obvious to everyone.

The Fourth Elder’s eyes darkened, and she scoffed.

”I don’t know about her being a talent, but Mr. Wu and your sect’s Senior Mu are quite the ’talents’ yourselves...”

’To relentlessly target a junior... they really have some nerve.’

’Then again, the thought of Song Wanning scattering all those spiritual tablets from the Medicine King Sect is so satisfying.’

’I like this girl’s style!’

”Heh heh...”

Instead of getting angry, Wu Qingfeng chuckled and shot a glance at the Fourth Elder. ”Let’s hope you can still laugh later.”

With that, he flicked his sleeve and returned to his seat.

”That psycho!”

The Fourth Elder glared at his back, feeling utterly disgusted.

’The Medicine King Sect has been getting more and more arrogant over the years. I hope this competition can knock them down a peg.’

...

The refinement of the Breaking Rank Pill was extremely complex. Two hours later, the Young Master of the Demon Clan finally finished, successfully drawing everyone’s attention.

Xiao Heyun noticed him too, and his temples throbbed with anger. The system was notifying him that his junior sister’s affection level had dropped a little more.

He continued his Alchemy with a grim expression, but his mind was on tying Xie Qinglan to his side. ’Whenever that girl sees another powerful expert, her admiration for me decreases...’

’And that Young Master of the Demon Clan has an extraordinary status, high Cultivation, and is exceptionally handsome!!’

The more Xiao Heyun thought about it, the more pissed off he became, finally finishing his Alchemy with a sour look on his face.

Next to finish were the two Cultivators from the Medicine King Sect...

As time passed, only Song Wanning remained on the stage, still performing Alchemy.

Her expression was solemn and unhurried as she focused completely on the final steps.

Seeing this, Xiao Heyun couldn’t help but smirk.

’As expected, women are useless. They can only serve as our stepping stones!’ he complained smugly to his system.

If you were to ask who he hated most right now, it would undoubtedly be Song Wanning.

’Keep it up, Host! As long as you take first place, Xie Qinglan’s affection level will definitely rise back up!!’

The system was speechless at Xiao Heyun’s confidence but could only offer encouragement.

To be honest, it was a little scared.

The affection level hadn’t increased in a long time, and it was afraid it would be forcibly decommissioned one day.

’Don’t you worry!’

Xiao Heyun gave a faint smile, and in the next instant, his gaze clashed with the Young Master of the Demon Clan’s.

Invisible sparks flew between them, both seeing the other as their strongest opponent.

Meanwhile, the two disciples from the Medicine King Sect couldn’t help but start complaining out loud.

”Does that woman even know Alchemy? Manager, why don’t you just declare the end of the round!”

”Exactly! She clearly failed her refinement and is just putting on a show to stall. Let’s not waste everyone’s time!”

They had already heard about Song Wanning’s mistake from the crowd’s chatter and couldn’t be more delighted.

’Forget about the rankings, as long as Song Wanning is eliminated, that’s all that matters!’

”As long as she hasn’t declared her withdrawal, we must wait until she finishes her refinement.”

The Manager replied coolly, rejecting their request.

’Whatever grudges these people have, it’s not my business, but they can forget about using me.’

The Medicine King Sect disciples were displeased to hear this, but there was nothing they could do. They crossed their arms and waited for her to give up.

The City Lord smiled. ”Those two seem fine with everyone else, but they have a real problem with that young woman...”

’People are always easily swayed by their emotions when facing an enemy.’

’These two still have a long way to go in tempering their character.’

Huo Jinchuan didn’t respond, his gaze remaining fixed on Song Wanning.

Seeing this, the City Lord decided to tease him. ”Could it be that Mr. Huo has taken a liking to that young woman?”

’After all, that girl is an absolute beauty with an outstanding presence—a true stunner through and through.’

Before Huo Jinchuan could even refute this, a woman beside him immediately spoke up. ”My young master already has a fiancée. Why would he be interested in someone like her?”

”Senior, you should stop joking.”

The City Lord glanced at her, and upon seeing the disdain in her eyes, his good mood was mostly ruined.

’People from the Central Domain have always looked down on the other Four Domains, but I never thought a mere attendant would be so full of herself.’
