Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

”Alright, I’ll go with you.”

”Gong Ye isn’t the type to let us off easy. Since that’s the case, we can’t leave him any room to retreat either.”

A flash of Evil Qi flickered in Song Wanning’s eyes. She quickly conferred with Liu Lan Yi, made some preparations, and then followed her to find the item.

As for the Fox Demon, she didn’t follow them.

Having received the Elixir Pills, the Fox Demon needed time to cultivate and absorb their power.

So, she remained in the cave. If fate allowed, they would meet again.

Meanwhile, Song Wanning’s clone had remained with the Snake Clan, monitoring the developments between them and the Hundred Demons Palace and syncing the information with her main body in real-time.

This allowed her to keep a close watch on Gong Ye’s movements and avoid a direct confrontation.

Song Wanning also relayed the news of finding their Martial Aunt to her Master. Leng Qingzhu was overjoyed to hear this and immediately said she would come find them.

But considering the danger posed by Gong Ye, Song Wanning refused.

In the end, the three of them agreed to return to the Southern Domain and meet up as soon as they had handled their business.

...

The Demon Clan Territory was vast, even larger than the Southern Domain in terms of area alone.

There were many cities here as well, but most Demon Cultivators still lived in jungle caves.

Song Wanning and Liu Lan Yi encountered quite a few Demon Cultivators along their way but passed by without incident. That is, until one day when they were preparing to pass through a city and heard that an auction was about to be held.

Hearing the word ”auction” piqued both of their interests.

This was especially true for Liu Lan Yi. Now that she had awakened her White Tiger Bloodline, items from the Demon Race would be of great use to her.

However...

Thinking of her empty pockets, Liu Lan Yi fell silent.

She had just ascended and hadn’t had a chance to earn any money yet. Fortunately, she still had a good amount of Spirit Stones from the Lower World, or else getting by would have been nearly impossible.

But to participate in the auction, they needed Demon Stones.

They had very few Demon Stones, probably not even enough to gain entry to the auction house.

To raise enough funds, the two decided to stay in the city for a while. Liu Lan Yi focused on crafting Array Plates to sell.

Song Wanning, on the other hand, chose to practice Alchemy and sell her creations.

By the time the auction began, the two had actually managed to amass a large sum of Demon Stones, and their reputations had begun to spread.

After all, in the Demon Race, those who could refine Elixir Pills and craft Array Plates were considered major figures that one shouldn’t offend.

The auction house even sent them an invitation on its own initiative, inviting them to a private room.

Song Wanning and Liu Lan Yi didn’t stand on ceremony. They tidied up and went to the auction house.

Similar to auctions in the Human Clan, the Demon Cultivators also wore disguises, unwilling to let their true identities be known.

The two of them entered their private room and looked down at the main hall, which was already filled with people.

In the private rooms across from them, people were also taking their seats, and lights were turning on.

Just then, a group of people entered through the main hall entrance. None of them were disguised, and they swaggered in as if they owned the place.

”GASP! It’s the Peacock Clan!!!”

”Could there be some ultimate treasure at this auction? Even the Peacock Clan is here!”

”Exactly! The Peacock Clan loves collecting treasures. Wherever they show up, a treasure is bound to appear. We might get to see something amazing this time!”

The Peacock Clan was one of the most prominent clans in the Demon Race.

This was because the Peacock Clan’s Divine Skill, the Five-Colored Divine Light, was incredibly powerful. It could not only seize others’ treasures but also absorb their attacks.

With this Divine Skill, the Peacock Clan was virtually invincible, causing their opponents unspeakable suffering.

Over time, the clan’s power grew, and other Demon Cultivators learned not to provoke them.

Song Wanning had also heard of the Peacock Clan’s prowess and was very interested in their Five-Colored Divine Light.

Her gaze fell upon the leading woman. The next moment, the woman seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at her.

Her eyes were filled with anger, her displeasure practically overflowing.

Her gaze toward Song Wanning was full of scrutiny.

Song Wanning met her gaze calmly for a moment before looking away, paying her no more mind.

But the peacock woman kept staring at the private room, her expression unreadable, her thoughts unknown.

”Young Miss, is something wrong?”

A Demon Cultivator from behind her frowned and leaned in to ask what the matter was.

”Go and find out for me who is in that private room.”

The Flower Peacock jutted her chin toward Song Wanning’s room, a hostile glint in her eyes.

The Demon Cultivator nodded and immediately withdrew.

By the time the Flower Peacock entered her own private room, the Demon Cultivator had already returned to report.

”According to the auction house, those two only arrived a few days ago. One is skilled in Alchemy, and the other in crafting Array Plates. That’s why they were specially invited to the auction.”

”Oh?”

The Flower Peacock’s voice lilted upwards, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

’I didn’t expect them to be talented.’

’I thought she was just a reckless pretty face, but it turns out she has some skill.’

”Go find them later and have them join our Peacock Clan.”

The Flower Peacock ordered this with a charitable tone, as if bestowing a great favor.

After all, joining the Peacock Clan was something other Demon Cultivators could only dream of.

’Those two definitely won’t be able to refuse.’

”But...”

The Demon Cultivator hesitated upon hearing this.

”Those two likely belong to a clan already. I’m afraid they won’t agree.”

”Besides, we know nothing about them. Bringing them back just like this... I’m afraid...”

The Demon Cultivator did not approve of this course of action and looked troubled.

The Flower Peacock’s face darkened instantly, and her gaze, sharp as a knife, shot toward him.

”So what if they have a clan? Could it be better than our Peacock Clan? As long as they’re smart, they’ll know how rare this opportunity is!”

”Let me tell you, I have made my decision! No one is to question it. You just go and do as you’re told!”

’I am the Clan Leader’s daughter and will one day take over the entire Peacock Clan. How dare these idiots question my decision?’

If not for the inappropriate setting, she would have loved to teach this fool a lesson.

”Yes, I’ll see to it at once!!!”

The Demon Cultivator didn’t dare say another word. He lowered his head and retreated from the room, feeling utterly humiliated.

His Cultivation was clearly higher, yet he was being ordered around by a child, all because she was the Clan Leader’s only daughter.

Everyone said the Peacock Clan would be under her control in the future, so of course, he didn’t dare to defy her.

’But...’

The Demon Cultivator sighed. ’With the Young Miss’s personality, if the Peacock Clan really falls into her hands, it will probably lead to a disaster!!!!’

The more the Demon Cultivator thought about it, the more agitated he became. By the time he reached the door to Song Wanning’s private room, his attitude had become exceptionally poor.

He pounded on the door. BANG! BANG!

He showed no courtesy whatsoever.

If not for the restrictive wards on the door, he would have just pushed it open and walked right in.

The sound of pounding at the door clearly indicated that the visitor came with ill intent. Song Wanning and Liu Lan Yi exchanged a puzzled glance.

At this point, Song Wanning didn’t yet connect this to the Peacock Clan. ’After all,’ she thought, ’it was just a single glance. What kind of princess complex would it take for someone to come looking for trouble over that?’
