Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!

Chapter 501 Heaven Chosen's Tracker

Footsteps echoed through the corridor outside the reception hall.

They were quick.

Almost hurried.

Moments later-

The doors opened.

Empress Sun Yaoqing entered the hall.

Despite her calm expression, there was a faint urgency in her steps.

The moment her eyes landed on Bai Zihan, she slowed down.

Then she walked forward and performed a respectful greeting. "Young Master Bai!"

Her voice was steady.

There was no arrogance in her tone-only dignity and caution.

Bai Zihan looked at her calmly.

Then he nodded slightly.

"You've been doing a great job."

The words were not merely empty praise.

He had already learned quite a bit about what had happened within the Falling Star Empire during the past months.

After the sudden change in leadership (due to him), Sun Yaoqing had been doing a good job stabilizing the Empire and solidifying her position.

Despite the sudden transition of power, the Falling Star Empire had not descended into chaos.

In fact, under Sun Yaoqing's leadership, the empire had begun moving in a direction that many had not expected.

Various reforms had been implemented across the administration.

Old systems that had existed for centuries were being dismantled or reshaped.

Perhaps the most significant change was the gradual removal of many privileges that had long been monopolized by the noble families.

For generations, those powerful clans had dominated the political and economic structure of the empire.

They did as they pleased without many consequences.

Now-

That influence was slowly being stripped away.

Positions within the imperial administration were no longer reserved solely for those of noble blood.

Resources and authority that had once been concentrated in the hands of a few powerful families were being redistributed.

For the common people, these changes were nothing short of remarkable. Opportunities that had once seemed impossible were now beginning to appear. It was slow but definitely a sign of change.

However-

For those who had long stood at the top of the empire's hierarchy, the situation was far less pleasant.

Many noble families had already begun feeling the pressure of these reforms.

Their privileges were shrinking.

Their influence was weakening.

Naturally, such changes had not been welcomed by everyone.

Dissatisfaction had begun quietly spreading among the upper ranks of society.

As for whether this decision was right or not, they shall all see the result in the coming years.

"You flatter me, Young Master Bai!"

Her tone remained humble.

"So, I assume that the Young Master is here because of Chong Sheng?"

Sun Yaoqing still didn't know why Bai Zihan was so interested in Chong Sheng

that the second she sent the message, he would come personally.

She thought that he would send a message, perhaps telling her to keep her eyes on him and track him.

But unexpectedly, he personally came without notice.

Bai Zihan nodded.

"Then shall we go and look at the Quan Clan which has been destroyed?"

***

In a matter of seconds, Bai Zihan, Sun Yaoqing, and Mingzhu immediately reached the Quan Clan.

Well, it could no longer be called the Quan Clan as everything was destroyed, not even a single ant survived.

Bai Zihan looked at the scale of destruction.

It definitely wasn't something that could be done by a Void Refinement Realm cultivator or even a Great Ascension Realm expert.

"We suspect that he must have used some kind of formation to do this."

Sun Yaoqing said.

Bai Zihan nodded.

It seemed to explain this, though it didn't take away how incredible the feat still

was.

The Quan Estate spanned for miles, and to cover the whole clan, it wouldn't take just one or two days.

Even as a Formation Expert, Chong Sheng would also need to make sure that

no one noticed it.

It might have taken Chong Sheng a few weeks to a month to cover the Entire

Quan Clan.

(It looked like he had been planning this for quite a while.)

As expected of a Supreme Demonic Cultivator and a Chosen One.

They held grudges better than most.

As soon as they get sufficient power to exact their revenge, they waste no time

doing so.

Moreover, Chong Sheng didn't spare a single person from the Quan Clan.

Whether innocent or guilty, he had engulfed them in flames because of his

revenge.

It wasn't that Bai Zihan was angry at that or anything, but this just proved how ruthless Chong Sheng really was.

So once he went after him, he had to make sure that he finished the job, or else

he might suffer the same fate.

"Now how shall I locate him?"

If it was before, he could have asked Feilian to search for him, and if Chong

Sheng was within her divine senses, he could have found him.

But Feilian still had yet to wake up.

Just as that thought crossed his mind-

A sudden notification appeared within his mind.

[System Notification]

Host, would you like to purchase: Heaven Chosen's Tracker?

Bai Zihan froze for a brief moment.

This was unexpected.

The system interface slowly displayed the details.

*****

Heaven Chosen's Tracker

Description:

Within a few miles, as long as the Host has previously encountered the Heaven

Chosen One, the system can detect and reveal their current location.

Price: 30,000 Points

*************************

Bai Zihan was slightly startled.

This ability was exactly what he needed right now.

However-

What truly caught his attention was something else.

Previously, the system had always been extremely passive, more like a robot

that did as it was programmed.

It only provided functions when Bai Zihan actively checked the system store or

completed tasks.

It rarely ever interrupted him like this.

Yet now-

It had suddenly suggested an item precisely when he was wondering how to

locate Chong Sheng.

It almost felt as if the system had understood his thoughts.

Bai Zihan's gaze darkened slightly.

(Was the system... becoming more sentient?)

He had only experienced something similar once before.

That was when Qin Lingxiao had nearly taken control of his mind.

At that moment, the system had forcefully intervened to protect him.

Aside from that single incident, the system had always remained silent.

Bai Zihan, while thankful for that timely assistance, also became more cautious

toward the system.

But well, he was too weak to do anything, and thinking about it further

wouldn't do any good.

Right now, he should focus on Chong Sheng.

Bai Zihan remained standing within the ruins of the Quan Clan estate, silently

staring at the notification floating in his mind.

Thirty thousand points.

The price wasn't small.

But he had 80,000 points, so he should be able to afford it.

If it allowed him to locate Chong Sheng... Then the points were very well worth it.
