Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!

Chapter 475 Wen Haoyu Panics

A Void Refinement Realm Elder was nothing more than a weakling before Bai Zihan.

Bai Zihan could see what they were planning without even needing to think about it.

He immediately asked one of the Bai Clan's Elders to keep an eye on the children and protect them.

As for himself, there was no need to worry.

"Hah! Bai Zihan, die!"

The First Elder made the scene as dramatic as he could.

But of course, rather than concentrating on the attack, he was thinking about how to escape afterward.

He knew that the Bai Clan would target him after this.

So, to survive, he only needed to attract their attention, and when the

opportunity came, instead of killing Bai Zihan, he needed to focus on escaping.

Or, if possible, capture Bai Zihan and threaten the Bai Clan.

Whoosh!

It didn't take long for him to reach Bai Zihan at arm's length.

(Huh? This is surprisingly easy!)

He thought.

Seeing how powerless Bai Zihan stood, with apparently no helper in sight, his mind raced.

This was an opportunity!

An opportunity to capture Bai Zihan.

Not only could that guarantee his safety, but he reckoned that he would also be considered a hero in the Azure Sun Holy Sect.

Wasting no energy, he now focused on capturing Bai Zihan.

His smile widened-and before it could even close-

Slash!

Bai Zihan swung his sword and cut his body in half.

With him already heading towards Bai Zihan, there was no way that he could dodge or even react otherwise to someone whose speed far outclassed him.

The body fell in two clean halves.

Blood sprayed outward in an arc, staining the stone tiles dark red.

For a heartbeat-

Silence!

Even amidst the chaos of clashing techniques and exploding qi, that single slash seemed to mute the entire courtyard.

The Void Refinement Elder did not even understand how he died.

His eyes remained open as his upper body slid from his lower half. He had been smiling.

He had thought he was about to seize victory.

Instead-

He had walked into death.

Bai Zihan lowered his sword casually.

Across the battlefield-

Wen Haoyu felt it clearly.

Bai Zihan had used qi.

His pupils shrank violently.

For a brief second, his mind rejected what his eyes had witnessed.

"Y-you...!"

His voice trembled.

"You... you are not crippled!"

The words tore out of his throat.

It was not a question born out of curiosity, but fear.

The kind that crawled up from the spine and strangled the heart.

Because he remembered.

He remembered the war against the Demonic Forces.

He remembered watching Bai Zihan slaughter Demonic Beasts like cutting grass.

He remembered him stepping across battlefields littered with corpses of Demonic Cultivators, his expression unchanged.

And they were all powerful-comparable to his own strength.

If that Bai Zihan stood before him-

Then formations meant nothing.

Numbers meant nothing.

No cultivators under the Immortal Realm could handle him.

Around him, several Azure Sun elders had also seen it.

Their faces drained of color.

"He used qi, right? Didn't they say that his meridians were destroyed?"

"He... wasn't crippled?"

"That means-"

The thought did not need to be finished.

If he was the same Bai Zihan from before-

It would only end one way.

Massacre!

Wen Haoyu staggered backward another half step.

His mind raced.

Impossible!

It wasn't just a rumor that Bai Zihan was crippled. It was a known and proven

fact spread among the Li-Zhao Alliance.

Although he didn't know how they tested it, they were certain that Bai Zihan's

meridians were destroyed.

That was why he dared provoke Bai Zihan.

But now-

The truth stood before him.

"You... you deceived the entire Empire..."

His voice was hoarse.

Bai Zihan finally looked at him.

His gaze was indifferent.

"I never said I was crippled."

It was accepted as truth-something others convinced themselves of, and

something he never explicitly corrected nor admitted.

Several Azure Sun disciples instinctively retreated a step.

The battlefield shifted again.

Until now, they had believed that at least the so-called cripple Young Master of

the Bai Clan was harmless.

That if they could capture him-

They might turn the tide.

But now?

Gulp!

An elder near the perimeter swallowed hard.

"This... this is unwinnable..."

Another glanced toward the edge of the formation and toward the exit.

His eyes flickered.

Escape!

The thought appeared simultaneously in many minds.

If they remained-

They would die.

The Bai Clan was already overwhelming them.

And now Bai Zihan himself had revealed he was fully recovered.

This was not a battle.

This was extermination.

Fear spreads faster than fire.

It dulled movements.

It fractured formations.

The Azure Sun disciples' attacks began losing coordination.

Palm seals faltered.

Sword strikes lacked conviction.

After all, wasn't this all meaningless in the end?

They knew that they could never win against Bai Zihan. Running away and safe

yourselves was the only choice.

Meanwhile-

The Bai Clan did not change pace.

They advanced steadily.

Wen Haoyu felt it.

The shift.

If this continued-

Their Entire Sect's Collapse would not take long.

He clenched his fists so tightly his nails pierced his palm.

No!

He refused to accept this. He still had the formation.

He still had his Ancestors coming.

He still-

His thoughts halted.

Because Bai Zihan had begun walking.

Step by step.

Toward him.

Each step echoed strangely loud across the courtyard.

Azure Sun disciples instinctively parted from his path.

No one blocked him.

No one dared.

Bai Zihan stopped several dozen meters away from Wen Haoyu.

"Before I begin beating you up, I have a question," Bai Zihan said.

???

Wen Haoyu was surprised by the unexpected situation before him. Bai Zihan didn't wait for him to agree and continued.

"Did you order Yun Mo Kou Sky Pirate's Leader to attack me?"

Bai Zihan asked.

Wen Haoyu widened his eyes when he heard the question.

(So that's why!)

He finally understood why Bai Zihan had chosen this time to invade the Azure

Sun Holy Sect.

""

There was silence.

"Well, it doesn't matter-"

Bai Zihan didn't finish his sentence when-

"Indeed, I did!"

Wen Haoyu confirmed it.

"Oh! I didn't expect you to agree so easily," Bai Zihan said, honestly surprised.

Considering what he had experienced previously, he figured that Wen Haoyu wouldn't answer unless he was beaten up and forced to spill the truth.

But unexpectedly, Wen Haoyu agreed on the spot.

"Haha... Yes, I ordered him to kill you. So what?"

Wen Haoyu arrogantly declared, as if it didn't matter whether Bai Zihan knew

this or not.

Well, compared to knowing their dark secret, such a thing wasn't as problematic.

Moreover, there was a reason why he needed to do so.

"Seeing how you accept so easily, would you be so kind as to tell me the

reason?"

Bai Zihan asked casually.

"Hmph! Of course it was because you had Jin Yuanzhan at your side and risked

our dark secret being revealed. As expected of that traitor-we should have killed him. I made the right decision." Wen Haoyu answered while glaring at Jin Yuanzhan. "Previously, it was difficult, but after knowing you had become crippled, it

should have been easy. Who would have thought that you would manage to deceive everyone!"

Wen Haoyu looked disappointed, but it still didn't seem like he was answering

out of fear.

Then he smiled like things were finally turning in his favor. "Haha... Bai Zihan, you should have taken care of me while you can instead of

wasting time."

Boom!

Four figures appeared before Wen Haoyu, all emitting the aura of the Immortal

Realm.

"Now you have lost your only opportunity!"
