Villainess Rampage: The Whole Sect Begs for Mercy

Song Wanning smiled. ”It’s alright. They may not be able to find me, so you don’t have to worry.”

Though they had only met by chance, the Demon Immortal was the first member of the Dragon Clan she had ever encountered, and she felt a certain kinship with her.

”Be careful. The Yao Family might not be pursuing you relentlessly just because of some old grudge.”

She offered the advice out of goodwill. After all, for the Yao Family to be so fixated on a grudge from so many years ago... no matter how she thought about it, something felt wrong.

It was better to be safe than sorry; the Demon Immortal had to think this through more carefully.

”You mean...”

The Demon Immortal suddenly thought of something, and her expression changed drastically.

’If that’s really the case, then I’m in grave danger.’

”Yes. In any case, you can’t go wrong with being careful.”

Song Wanning didn’t elaborate. After all, she didn’t know the details herself—she just had a feeling that something was amiss.

The two chatted for a while longer before parting ways.

The Demon Immortal went to find another hiding place, while Song Wanning sent a message to Mo Yang Immortal Venerable. She explained the situation with the invaders and also brought up the Yao Family, asking for details about their background.

Before long, Mo Yang Immortal Venerable replied.

Regarding the invaders, he decided to communicate with the Sect Master. It was best for the higher-ups of the Immortal Realm to be informed so they could prepare in advance.

However, he couldn’t guarantee that others would believe it; after all, not everyone trusted Song Wanning.

As for the Yao Family, they did indeed have a past grudge with the Dragon Clan.

Legend had it that their ancestor had many children. During a trial, he developed a blood feud with the Dragon Clan. When the Dragon Clan later came seeking revenge, he lost several of his children.

Burning with rage, the Yao Family’s ancestor retaliated, wounding members of the Dragon Clan in turn...

From that point on, the feud was cemented.

”Why do you ask about the Yao Family?”

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable was curious.

Song Wanning replied, ”Because I possess the bloodline of the Golden Dragon Clan.”

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable: ”...”

’This girl... she actually has the bloodline of the Golden Dragon Clan?’

He recalled the anomaly that had appeared in the Golden Dragon Clan’s bloodline. ’Could it have been because of Song Wanning?’

At that moment, even Mo Yang Immortal Venerable couldn’t help but be impressed by Song Wanning.

’This young woman... I’m afraid she’ll surpass me very soon.’

’She is the one chosen by the Heavenly Dao. She’s different from the rest of us.’

”In that case, be careful. The Yao Family still seems to harbor hostility toward the Dragon Clan.”

”It’s best to avoid them. If you can’t, tell me!”

Mo Yang Immortal Venerable made his stance clear. If the Yao Family dared to lay a hand on Song Wanning, he would not sit idly by.

”Alright!”

Song Wanning agreed readily and ended the connection with the Communication Talisman.

She discreetly found the nearest city and settled in. Sometimes, the most dangerous place was the safest.

’The Yao Family is unlikely to pay any attention to a place like this.’

...

「In the Yao Family’s territory.」

The Yao Family’s Clan Leader had already received the news.

Upon learning that two dragons had been discovered, a calculating glint flashed in the Clan Leader’s eyes.

She immediately gave the order to hunt for the pair with all available resources.

They were to be captured alive if possible, but if her people encountered danger, they were permitted to kill the targets and bring the bodies back.

To this end, she offered a substantial reward.

When the disciples of the Yao Family saw the reward, they were instantly thrilled.

Furthermore, this was a matter of great prestige for the clan. Everyone was as fired up as if they’d been injected with stimulants, and the search began in earnest.

”Clan Leader, we must be careful about this. We can’t let anyone else find out...”

An elder beside her spoke uneasily. ”If we conduct such a large-scale search, what if someone notices... I’m afraid...”

As he spoke, the elder cautiously scanned their surroundings. Even within their own clan territory, he was extremely wary, afraid of being overheard.

The Clan Leader’s eyes flashed with a cold light as she snorted.

”Besides you and I, who knows? Even if they find out, they’ll just assume it’s about the old grudge. Why would they suspect anything else?”

”I want everyone to know about it. That’s precisely how the real secret will be kept safe.”

A smile touched the Clan Leader’s lips, revealing a hint of her endless ambition.

”Old Third, this is our opportunity. If we miss it, my Yao Family will continue its decline!”

”I will not let the Yao Family decline under my leadership... I will lead the Yao Family to glory, and make all the other powers look up to us in awe!”

”And now, there is finally hope of achieving all of this.”

A sharp light flared in the Clan Leader’s eyes. She said to the elder, ”You will go yourself. You must capture those dragons for me.”

”You know... you’re the only one I trust...”

As she spoke, she placed her hands on the elder’s shoulders.

The elder’s face instantly flushed red, and he hurriedly lowered his head.

”I’ll go right now!”

He ran off without looking back, looking rather flustered in his haste.

The moment he was gone, a figure emerged from a hidden compartment.

”Heh... he’s as naive as ever. You have him wrapped around your little finger.”

The man pulled the Clan Leader into his embrace, his hand landing on her bottom and giving it a hard squeeze.

The Clan Leader let out a soft hiss, biting her lip as she shot the man a look of coy protest.

”Isn’t it all for the sake of your grand ambitions? Why else would I bother deceiving him?”

The Clan Leader pulled herself from the man’s embrace, her expression turning considerably colder.

She stared at the man. ”Another dragon has suddenly appeared. I wonder if its bloodline is pure.”

”If its bloodline is pure, our success will be all but guaranteed.”

”Hehehe, don’t you worry. Pure or not, I have my methods.”

The man swept his robes aside and sat down, his eyes filled with confidence.

”When our plan succeeds, not only will the Yao Family’s name be known, but you yourself will go down in history as a legend of the Immortal Realm...”

”And once we ascend to the Divine Realm, we’ll never have to be apart again...”

To live as long as the cosmos itself—that was the dream of every Cultivator.

Now that they were in the Immortal Realm, they could finally see that hope within their grasp. They would not give up, no matter the cost.

Upon hearing his words, the Clan Leader’s face flushed slightly, her eyes filled with ambition.

The mere thought of ascending to the Divine Realm filled her eyes with hope.

In all the generations of the Yao Family, not a single person had ever ascended to the Divine Realm.

Across the entire Immortal Realm, those who could ascend to the Divine Realm were exceedingly rare.

The thought that she might have this opportunity made her heart pound in her chest.

But she retained a sliver of reason. She said to the man, ”You’d better not be lying to me. Otherwise, I’ll make you suffer a fate worse than death!”

Her threat was cut short as the man’s mouth crushed down on hers.

He pushed the Clan Leader down beneath him, his hands roaming swiftly over her body.

Soon, the two were lost in a storm of passion.

...

After a few days in the inn, Song Wanning heard the news, just as she’d expected: the Yao Family was conducting a massive search for members of the Dragon Clan.

She chose to conceal her Dragon Clan aura and alter her appearance, disguising herself as a Demon Immortal.

Since she could release and absorb any type of aura, her disguise was flawless.

Thus, when the members of the Yao Family arrived to search the area, she was still in the inn’s main hall, calmly watching the commotion.
