Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

But returning to this place now, she was dumbfounded.

Finding the Soul Exchange Pearl in this vast expanse of yellow sand was probably going to take some effort.

”For now, we can only search slowly. The Soul Exchange Pearl doesn’t have a consciousness, but it was moving when I first encountered it.”

”So, our only option is to search area by area. There’s no other way.”

After speaking helplessly, Liu Lan Yi flew directly into the yellow sands and began to search for any trace of the Soul Exchange Pearl.

Song Wanning could only follow her in with a sigh, spreading her Divine Sense to search throughout the aimless, yellow expanse.

...

On the other side, the Array’s energy had halved. The attacks had stopped, leaving only a simple Trapping Array.

Gong Ye stood within the Array, looking quite disheveled. His eyes were bruised, and he appeared utterly exhausted.

For the past half a month, he had spent every day fending off those attacks with almost no chance to catch his breath, let alone rest.

As a result, his mind was now stretched to its breaking point, nearly ready to snap.

This was especially true because even after transmigrating, he still maintained the habits of his previous life. He needed to sleep every so often to release his inner stress.

Having gone one or two months without sleep had left him feeling exhausted.

He sat down with a dark expression, his eyes fixed on the Array, calculating how he might break it.

’Liu Lan Yi is just an Ascension Cultivator from the Lower World. Where in the world did she learn such a profound Array?’

He truly couldn’t figure it out.

Nearby, Flower Peacock lay on the ground, completely exhausted and drained of all strength.

Over the past few days, thankfully, the man beside her had shown her tenderness and blocked the majority of the attacks for her. Otherwise, with her Divine Soul still unrepaired, she would have been completely unable to withstand the damage.

She would have died here long ago.

She lifted her eyes to look at Gong Ye, a stir of affection blooming in her heart.

This man was incredibly tall, and his Cultivation was unfathomably deep. No matter how you looked at it, he was the absolute best of the best.

He had helped her when she was at her most helpless.

’If only...’

A glint of light flashed in Flower Peacock’s eyes as she began to fantasize about a beautiful future.

’But...’ Seeing herself in such a wretched state, she felt an immense hatred for Song Wanning.

’If it weren’t for her, how could I have looked so pathetic when I met Gong Ye?’

’Gong Ye would have definitely fallen in love with me at first sight!!!!’

While Flower Peacock was lost in her resentment, Gong Ye suddenly received a message.

After opening the Sound Transmission Talisman and listening, the aura around Gong Ye changed instantly.

The killing intent radiating from him was completely unconcealable.

Flower Peacock looked up at him blankly. ”Demon King, you... what’s wrong?”

Her face was filled with concern, worried that Gong Ye had encountered some trouble.

For some reason, however, when Gong Ye looked over, the emotion hidden in his eyes terrified her.

”Demon King, you... why aren’t you saying anything?”

Flower Peacock’s scalp tingled from his stare, but she still forced a smile.

She was normally an extremely proud person, but right now, her heart was filled with nervousness, mixed with a complex flutter of joy at being stared at by the man she fancied.

Gong Ye stared at Flower Peacock with a grim expression, the murderous intent in his heart already irrepressible.

The corners of his mouth lifted into a smile. ”The Peacock Clan has partnered with the Snake Clan and is currently attacking my Hundred Demons Palace.”

That short sentence left Flower Peacock stunned.

”How is that possible?”

She retorted subconsciously. After all, she had never heard anything about this before she left.

But looking at Gong Ye’s mocking half-smile, she became uncertain.

Her father often asked her to participate in the clan’s decisions, but she was never very interested.

Plus, with her trip to auction the Demon King Map, she hadn’t been back in a long time and had no idea what had been happening recently.

”I... I can send a message to my father. I’ll have him take back this decision...”

Flower Peacock was flustered. Gong Ye’s gaze made her skin crawl.

’It wasn’t like this before!’

She struggled to her feet, but her face grew paler. A muffled grunt escaped her throat as a metallic, sweet taste rose in it.

Gong Ye looked at her pathetic state, completely unmoved.

Too many women liked him.

Flower Peacock was merely average in his eyes. He had no interest in her. He had only saved her before because she was Song Wanning’s enemy.

But now, Flower Peacock had become his enemy.

”Heh heh...”

A low chuckle escaped Gong Ye’s throat. The next moment, he raised a large palm and struck down at the top of Flower Peacock’s head.

It was one thing for Song Wanning to scheme against him, but for the Peacock Clan to dare cooperate with the Snake Clan... that was going too far!

Now, he would make an example of Flower Peacock and teach the Peacock Clan a harsh lesson!!!

”No—”

Feeling the boundless killing intent, Flower Peacock was horrified. She immediately activated her Five-Colored Divine Light, trying to absorb the energy.

However, her Divine Soul was damaged, and her Five-Colored Divine Light had long since dimmed. She was no match for Gong Ye at all.

Watching the massive palm descend, she couldn’t even move. She could only watch helplessly as it fell.

In that moment, Flower Peacock fell into complete despair. Her eyes filled more with regret and heartache than anything else.

She never would have imagined that she would die at the hands of the man who had made her heart flutter!!

”BOOM—”

The palm struck as expected. There were no miracles.

Flower Peacock was instantly blasted apart by the immense force, her Divine Soul dissipating along with her body.

All that remained was a sky full of blood mist and pulped flesh, which scattered down and stained the surrounding ground red.

There was no emotion in Gong Ye’s eyes, only a churning hatred.

’The Peacock Clan dared to plot against me. They can just wait for my crazed retaliation!!!’

He began to attack the Array frantically, trying to break it with brute force.

The Hundred Demons Palace was in peril. He had to get back immediately!!

At the same time, on the other side, among the Peacock Clan who were taking the opportunity to attack the Hundred Demons Palace, the Clan Leader suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. As if struck by lightning, he plummeted from mid-air.

”Clan Leader! Clan Leader, are you alright?”

”Clan Leader, what’s wrong?”

A group of Demon Cultivators surrounded him, all looking at the Clan Leader in a panic, not understanding why he was suddenly injured.

The Clan Leader, however, seemed not to hear them. He forced out a mouthful of Heart Blood and released it into the air.

The next moment, within the crimson blood, a clear image appeared before everyone: Flower Peacock’s head being blasted apart by Gong Ye’s palm.

”PFFT—”

Overcome with fury, the Clan Leader spat another mouthful of blood, his entire body enveloped in a terrifying aura.

The surrounding Demon Cultivators all fell silent, their eyes filled with disbelief.

After a few moments, everyone finally snapped back to their senses.

Killing intent radiated from their bodies, their eyes bloodshot.

”Gong Ye dared to kill our Young Mistress! Let’s fight them to the death!!”

”That’s right! The Hundred Demons Palace and the Peacock Clan now have a blood feud! We must kill Gong Ye and avenge our Young Mistress!!”
