Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

Liu Lan Yi’s expression tightened, and she immediately gave chase.

So the Soul Exchange Pearl really was here. But this time, the moment it saw her, it turned tail and fled, looking quite frightened.

’I wonder if other Demon Cultivators had been chasing it.’

The Soul Exchange Pearl moved with incredible speed, zipping through the rooms like a shooting star.

Because of this, many Demon Cultivators spotted it.

For those who had found nothing in their search, this bead was like a great opportunity that had fallen from the heavens. None of them were willing to give it up.

Everyone scrambled to chase after it, and intense conflicts quickly broke out.

Liu Lan Yi was swept up in the chaos, fighting others as she continued the pursuit.

Although her Cultivation was lacking, her mastery of Arrays was exceptional, so she was not hindered in her chase.

BOOM—

BANG—

The sounds of clashing abilities erupted everywhere, quickly spreading throughout the entire palace.

Everyone, including Gong Ye, turned toward the commotion.

When he arrived, he immediately spotted the fleeing Soul Exchange Pearl, and his eyes lit up.

The Soul Exchange Pearl he had searched for in vain for years was actually here. What an incredible, unexpected surprise!

He also saw Liu Lan Yi chasing it in the crowd, and a sneer surfaced in his eyes.

’Those two women went through so much trouble, but in the end, they still can’t stop me from getting the Soul Exchange Pearl.’

’As long as I get my hands on it, I’ll have an eighty percent chance of succeeding in my ascension, the most difficult trial of all!’

’Therefore, no one is going to take this Soul Exchange Pearl from me!’

He was determined to have it.

A sharp glint flashed in Gong Ye’s eyes. In the next instant, a powerful pressure radiated from him, blanketing the surroundings.

The Demon Cultivators, who had been fighting tooth and nail, were instantly suppressed by the immense force, unable to move. Some even plummeted directly from mid-air.

The crowd looked up in terror and saw Gong Ye, their eyes trembling with fear.

This was a Mahayana Peak expert, an existence they could not possibly contend with.

Liu Lan Yi saw Gong Ye then as well, and her heart sank. The trace of White Tiger Bloodline within her quickly activated, shattering the pressure and allowing her to get back on her feet.

She shot toward the Soul Exchange Pearl, attempting to seize it.

”Heh heh—”

Gong Ye chuckled. With a flicker, he appeared in front of Liu Lan Yi, reaching out to grab the Soul Exchange Pearl.

’With me here, where on earth does Liu Lan Yi get the nerve to try and compete with me?’

However, just as he was about to grasp the Soul Exchange Pearl, a sudden attack struck, forcing him back.

Before he could get a clear look, the figure was already lunging at him.

It was none other than the Clan Leader of the Peacock Clan.

His every move was vicious and aimed to kill, showing no fear of getting injured himself.

The powerful assault quickly pushed Gong Ye back, and the two began to exchange a rapid series of blows.

The resulting shockwaves soon spread to the surrounding buildings and Demon Cultivators, who all scrambled to get away, not daring to get near the pair.

Liu Lan Yi, however, pushed forward instead of retreating. Braving the danger, she continued to chase the Soul Exchange Pearl.

She moved swiftly, but just as she was about to touch the Soul Exchange Pearl, a force sent her flying. She crashed heavily to the ground, coughing up blood nonstop.

It turned out the Clan Leader of the Snake Clan had also arrived. Seeing the Soul Exchange Pearl, he naturally couldn’t remain indifferent.

He injured Liu Lan Yi and was about to snatch the Soul Exchange Pearl, a scene Gong Ye took in completely.

To protect the Soul Exchange Pearl, he had no choice but to charge toward it himself.

A glint flashed in the Peacock Clan Leader’s eyes as he seized the opportunity to attack Gong Ye.

PFFT—

Gong Ye was hit and spat out a mouthful of blood, but he used the momentum to lunge toward the Soul Exchange Pearl.

”Insolent!”

The Snake Clan Leader roared, revealing his true form as he charged at Gong Ye.

In an instant, the three Mahayana cultivators were locked in a chaotic brawl, none of them willing to yield.

The Soul Exchange Pearl, meanwhile, took the chance to dodge to the side, letting no one get near it. It almost seemed to have developed a mind of its own.

COUGH COUGH—

Liu Lan Yi took an Elixir Pill and struggled back to her feet.

She glanced at the three entangled combatants, but her peripheral vision remained fixed on the Soul Exchange Pearl.

She knew that if she tried to touch the Soul Exchange Pearl, she would undoubtedly draw the attacks of all three.

So, she didn’t dare make a rash move, instead standing cautiously in a corner, waiting for the moment they were all mutually wounded.

RUMBLE—

A continuous series of explosions and tremors shook the area, quickly turning the room into a chaotic mess. Nearly all the furnishings within were destroyed.

Liu Lan Yi couldn’t avoid being caught in the crossfire, and new injuries soon appeared on her body.

At this point, the Demon Cultivators watching from a safe distance began to admire Liu Lan Yi. She actually dared to stay so close, unafraid of being killed by the three powerhouses.

...

Time flew. In just a short quarter of an hour, all three had sustained injuries.

As expected of the Peacock Clan, their leader had Gong Ye almost completely suppressed. Nearly all of Gong Ye’s attacks were absorbed by the Five-Colored Divine Light.

His only reliable option was hand-to-hand combat, but the Peacock Clan’s movement technique was so outstanding that Gong Ye could barely land a hit on their Clan Leader.

With the Snake Clan Leader attacking from the side as well, he found himself at a disadvantage.

This was a huge blow to Gong Ye.

He never imagined the Peacock Clan Leader would be so formidable, capable of suppressing him so thoroughly. He was filled with power but couldn’t even harm his opponent. It was utterly infuriating.

SPIT—

Gong Ye spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, feeling incredibly frustrated.

’I don’t know what’s been going on lately. My luck is just terrible!’

’Nothing is going smoothly. Everywhere I go, I’m beset by crises.’

’This has never happened before.’

Gong Ye felt a growing unease, as if things were slipping beyond his control.

His gaze fell on the Soul Exchange Pearl. ’I must obtain this bead. It’s for my ascension, and also to prove that my luck is as good as ever.’

’Even if I run into all sorts of difficulties, as long as the treasure falls into my hands in the end, that’s all that matters!’

But just as that thought arose, a familiar figure entered the room.

Seeing that face—one that made him grind his teeth, a face he both loved and hated—Gong Ye’s heart lurched. A terrible premonition welled up from deep within him, and in an instant, his heart turned to ice.

In the few short days since he’d last seen her, Song Wanning’s Cultivation had already reached Early-stage Integration. She was even on the verge of breaking through to Mid-stage Integration.

He remembered that when they had met before, Song Wanning was only at Late-stage Soul Emergence.

Although she had yet to undergo her Thunder Tribulation, her advancement was now a certainty.

Such a rate of advancement made even him burn with envy.

’Demon Cultivators need vast amounts of time to advance. On what grounds can the Human Clan advance so easily?’

’It’s so unfair!!’

Gong Ye sometimes wondered why, when he transmigrated, he couldn’t have been born into the Human Clan instead of as an abandoned little snake.
