Chapter 566 - 573: You Are Not to Provoke Song Wanning

’And these two just had to say something like that. It’s infuriating!!!’

"Do you have any idea who she is?"

Bai Ye asked with a solemn expression, and the pressure in the room dropped.

Flower Peacock was taken aback. "Who could she be? Aren’t they just two Demon Cultivators with no one to back them up?"

A dark, hidden glint flashed in Bai Feng’s eyes, but his face remained a mask of confusion.

"Big Brother, do you know them? Who are they?"

All eyes fell on Bai Ye.

They knew most of the great powers and prodigies of the Demon Race, and they had never seen Song Wanning or her companion before.

’So, there’s no way they have some incredible background.’

Bai Ye looked at the two of them, a deep sense of helplessness welling up inside him.

"That person is the one who broke the Central Domain’s restrictive seal a while back—Song Wanning!"

"She’s not a Demon Cultivator at all, and there’s no way she would join the Peacock Clan. You almost caused a disaster!!!"

Bai Ye didn’t even dare to imagine what would have happened if he hadn’t shown up. There was no telling how Flower Peacock might have offended her, dooming the entire Peacock Clan in the process!

The thought alone sent a shiver of fear down his spine.

Bai Feng’s expression shifted slightly at his words, a flash of terror in his eyes.

Flower Peacock was also surprised, but there was no fear in her eyes. "So she’s *that* Song Wanning? Heh, talk about a small world!"

"If she hadn’t broken the seal, we wouldn’t have had to share our resources with the Central Domain. And she has the gall to show her face in the Demon Race’s territory? She’s asking to die!"

"Big Brother, we have to capture her! We’ll show her what happens when you piss off the Peacock Clan!!!"

Flower Peacock’s face was flushed with anger. She had wanted to cause trouble for that Song Wanning for a long time. To think it was that woman... what a fateful encounter!!!!

As soon as she spoke, the temperature in the private room plummeted.

The look Bai Ye gave Flower Peacock made it clear he wanted nothing more than to slap her across the face.

"Do you have any idea what you’re saying? Is someone like Song Wanning a person the Peacock Clan can afford to provoke?"

’I really want to crack open her head and see what’s going on in there.’

At the same time, his conviction grew stronger: he absolutely could not let Flower Peacock become the next Clan Leader, no matter how talented she was!

He couldn’t just stand by and watch the Peacock Clan be destroyed.

But Flower Peacock was completely oblivious to his anger. Instead, she said dismissively, "Didn’t she just get lucky and open the seal? What’s so great about that?"

"Besides, this is the Demon Race’s territory. It’s not her place, a mere member of the Human Clan, to run wild!!"

Flower Peacock said haughtily, her eyes filled with nothing but endless contempt.

’It was just luck. Does she really think someone in the Out-of-Body Stage is all that powerful?’

Bai Ye: "..."

He clenched his fists, relaxed them, and clenched them again, wishing he could just punch her in the face.

’How can someone be so stupid?’

"Did you know that of all the powers in the Central Domain, the Ancient Cold Sect, where Song Wanning is from, is the only one they didn’t sign an agreement with?"

"And according to reliable sources, the fall of the Huo Family is directly related to Song Wanning."

"She’s someone even the Central Domain doesn’t dare to provoke. Do you really think the Peacock Clan can handle her?"

Bai Ye was so angry he had to laugh.

Only then did Flower Peacock realize how formidable Song Wanning was, but she still didn’t feel any fear.

"That’s all just gossip. Who knows if someone deliberately spread those rumors to mislead people?"

"Big Brother, you’re just being an alarmist. She’s only at the Out-of-Body Stage. How could she possibly be that capable?"

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about her anymore. It’s annoying just hearing her name."

Seeing that Bai Ye was about to lecture her again, Flower Peacock quickly cut him off.

"The Demon King Map is up! We should focus on the auction!!"

With that, she turned her gaze to the high stage, where the Demon King Map was now on display.

Seeing this, Bai Ye closed his eyes in resignation. He decided he would just have to watch Flower Peacock constantly to keep her from provoking Song Wanning.

But plans can never keep up with reality. The auction hadn’t been going for long when he suddenly received an order from the Clan Leader, demanding his immediate return.

Apparently, the Snake Clan had sent envoys, offering a Secret Realm in exchange for an alliance to deal with the Hundred Demons Palace.

The Clan Leader wanted him to go back and lead a team to verify the Secret Realm.

Bai Ye wanted to refuse, but the Clan Leader insisted he return without delay.

Helpless, he had no choice but to hurry back.

Still worried, he repeatedly warned Bai Feng.

"You have to keep an eye on her. Under no circumstances can you let her go and provoke Song Wanning, understand?"

"This is extremely important. You must remember this!!!"

Bai Feng nodded. "Don’t worry, Big Brother. With me here, I won’t let her do anything reckless!"

After he gave his assurance several times, Bai Ye finally felt at ease and left the auction house.

In the end, the Peacock Clan successfully won the bid for the Demon King Map, securing the most important item of the auction.

Sitting in her private room, Song Wanning was somewhat interested in the Demon King Map.

But they didn’t have enough Demon Stones. This time, they had just come to watch the excitement and didn’t win any bids.

"I never thought I’d get to experience what it feels like to be flat broke."

Song Wanning shrugged and gave an innocent smile.

Liu Lan Yi let out a puff of laughter and looked at Song Wanning with a helpless expression. "Let’s go. We can just consider it an educational experience."

"We won’t be staying in the Demon Race’s territory for much longer anyway. We’ll leave as soon as we get what we came for!"

"Alright, let’s go!"

Song Wanning walked over, took Liu Lan Yi by the hand, and they left the private room, exiting the auction house through the corridor.

The two returned to their inn, checked out, sold another batch of items, then packed their things and left the city, continuing toward the location of their target.

Meanwhile, Flower Peacock was asking around everywhere for their location.

Bai Feng immediately tried to stop her and forbade the other Demon Cultivators from searching, which led to a huge argument with Flower Peacock. They parted on bad terms.

But that night, Bai Feng secretly went to Flower Peacock’s room.

The moment Flower Peacock saw him, her face darkened.

"What are you doing here?"

’My second brother, who’s usually the nicest to me, actually fought with me over some woman. I’m so pissed!’

Seeing her expression, Bai Feng quickly took out a candied hawthorn stick and placed it in her hand.

"What’s wrong, still angry?"

He leaned in close to Flower Peacock, grinning playfully as he patted her cheek.

"I didn’t mean to argue with you earlier. Big Brother ordered me to stop you, didn’t he?"

"I had no choice!"

Bai Feng sighed. "I don’t get what Big Brother is thinking, either. She’s just some cultivator at the Out-of-Body Stage, yet he’s making it sound so serious."

"Saying it’s a matter of life and death for the entire Peacock Clan... it’s a huge joke, don’t you think?"

His eyes were filled with disdain, but a closer look would reveal a calculating glint deep within them.

"Sigh, anyway, we got our orders from Big Brother, so we had to do it. After all, his status in the clan is pretty special now. I don’t dare to defy him!"

"And today the Clan Leader gave him another mission. I’m so jealous just watching!"
