Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!

Chapter 716: The Ambition to Conquer the Eastern Region

The shock spread throughout the tavern.

No one had expected such a result.

Even if they had believed that Mo Zun would win—

No one had expected the battle to end in a single move.

Ran Juechen had been a Peak Earth Immortal!

He had stood at the same cultivation realm as Mo Zun.

At least, that was what everyone had believed.

Yet Ran Juechen had not even been able to put up the slightest resistance.

The entire tavern remained deathly silent.

Everyone stared at Ran Juechen’s corpse.

Their expressions were filled with disbelief.

A Peak Earth Immortal had been killed in a single move.

What kind of terrifying strength was that?

The people who had been cheering the loudest only moments ago immediately changed their expressions.

Their faces became filled with awkward smiles.

"Hahaha..."

One of them suddenly laughed nervously.

"Leader Mo Zun is truly powerful!"

The others immediately reacted.

"That’s right! Ran Juechen was simply overestimating himself!"

"What Peak Earth Immortal? He actually dared to challenge the almighty Leader!"

Several people immediately began criticizing Ran Juechen.

"That fool truly didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!"

"He actually thought he could challenge Leader Mo Zun?"

"What a joke!"

Another Demonic Cultivator immediately stepped forward.

His expression was filled with anger.

"Ran Juechen deserved to die!"

Several people immediately nodded.

"Exactly! He dared to challenge the Leader."

"He was simply asking for death!"

One of the Demonic Cultivators even pointed toward Ran Juechen’s corpse.

"If Leader Mo Zun hadn’t killed him—"

He raised his head proudly.

"I would have killed him myself!"

The surrounding Demonic Cultivators immediately looked at him.

Several people secretly rolled their eyes.

Just moments ago—

This same person had been shouting the loudest in support of Ran Juechen.

Yet now, he was claiming that he would have killed Ran Juechen himself?

What a shameless person!

However, no one dared to expose him.

After all, everyone was doing the same thing.

The tavern immediately became filled with voices praising Mo Zun.

"Leader Mo Zun is truly wise!"

"How could someone like Ran Juechen possibly compare to the Leader?"

"The Leader has led us for so many years!"

"We have never doubted you!"

Mo Zun quietly watched the scene.

A mocking smile slowly appeared on his face.

These Demonic Cultivators...

He knew their nature better than anyone.

When Ran Juechen had appeared powerful, they had immediately supported him.

Now that Ran Juechen was dead, they immediately turned around and began praising Mo Zun.

There was no loyalty among Demonic Cultivators.

Only strength.

Mo Zun slowly shook his head.

"Kekeke..."

His strange laughter echoed throughout the tavern.

The surrounding Demonic Cultivators immediately became silent.

Mo Zun’s gaze swept across everyone.

Then he scoffed.

"So..."

His voice was calm.

"No one else wants to challenge me?"

Silence!

No one dared to answer.

Challenge him?

After seeing Ran Juechen’s fate?

Who would dare?

Ran Juechen had been a Peak Earth Immortal.

And he had been killed instantly.

The remaining Demonic Cultivators were nowhere near his strength.

If they challenged Mo Zun, they would simply be seeking death.

Mo Zun waited for several moments.

No one spoke.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

Mo Zun slowly walked forward.

The Demonic Cultivators immediately moved aside.

No one dared to stand in his way.

Mo Zun stopped in the center of the tavern.

His hands remained behind his back.

"Since none of you wish to challenge me..."

His eyes slowly swept across everyone.

"Then I have a few things to say."

The entire tavern became silent.

Everyone listened attentively.

Mo Zun’s expression gradually became colder.

"Over the past few years..."

His gaze stopped on several people.

"I ordered all of you to remain hidden."

Several Demonic Cultivators lowered their heads.

They had complained about those orders countless times.

Ran Juechen had even attempted to overthrow him because of them.

Mo Zun sneered.

"And all of you believed that I did so because I was afraid of the Bai Clan?"

No one answered.

They did not dare to answer.

After all, that was exactly what they had believed. However, admitting it is adamant to insulting Mo Zun.

Mo Zun slowly shook his head.

"What a group of fools!"

His words caused several people’s expressions to change.

However, no one dared to refute him.

Mo Zun continued.

"Do you truly believe that I would hide merely because I was afraid of the Bai Clan?"

His eyes gradually became colder.

"No!"

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

Mo Zun slowly raised his head.

"The reason I ordered all of you to remain hidden..."

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"Was because I was preparing to break through."

Silence!

Several Demonic Cultivators raised their heads.

Break through?

The surrounding Demonic Cultivators widened their eyes.

Mo Zun had been a Peak Earth Immortal.

If he broke through—

Then—

"That’s right."

His voice was filled with amusement.

"I was attempting to enter the Golden Immortal Realm."

Silence!

The entire tavern became completely still.

For several moments, no one reacted.

The Golden Immortal Realm?

Several Demonic Cultivators stared at Mo Zun in disbelief.

That realm was far beyond anything they could imagine.

A Golden Immortal!

An existence standing at the absolute peak!

Then, Mo Zun slowly spread his arms.

"And..."

His smile widened.

"I succeeded!"

Boom!!!

An overwhelming aura suddenly erupted from Mo Zun’s body.

The entire tavern violently shook.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The ground beneath everyone’s feet immediately began breaking apart.

An unimaginable pressure descended.

The surrounding Demonic Cultivators’ expressions changed drastically.

Several people immediately fell to their knees.

Boom!

More people collapsed.

Their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

The terrifying pressure crushed down upon them.

They could not resist.

They did not even have the courage to resist.

This was—

The aura of a Golden Immortal!

"Golden Immortal!"

One Demonic Cultivator shouted in shock.

The next moment, everyone completely lost their composure.

"Leader! Congratulations on entering the Golden Immortal Realm!"

"Leader Mo Zun is invincible!"

Countless voices echoed throughout the tavern.

Everyone immediately knelt.

Their heads lowered toward the ground.

There was not even a shred of resistance remaining.

Ran Juechen’s rebellion?

It had completely disappeared from their minds.

What rebellion?

Who would dare to rebel against a Golden Immortal?

Even if they had ten thousand lives, they would not dare.

"Congratulations, Leader!"

"Leader Mo Zun has entered the Golden Immortal Realm!"

"You are the strongest!"

"The Demonic Cultivators will undoubtedly rise under your leadership!"

"With the Leader here, who in the Eastern Region can oppose us?"

Excited voices continued echoing.

The same people who had been insulting Mo Zun earlier were now praising him without restraint.

Mo Zun looked down at the kneeling Demonic Cultivators.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

This was exactly how things should be.

Fear!

Respect!

And Absolute obedience!

That was what strength brought.

Mo Zun slowly raised his head.

His eyes flashed with coldness.

For years, he had ignored the dissatisfaction of the Demonic Cultivators.

Because his attention had been focused on one thing.

Breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm.

And now—

He had succeeded.

Mo Zun slowly looked around the tavern.

His cold gaze swept across the kneeling Demonic Cultivators.

Then, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"All of you can stand."

Only after hearing his words did everyone finally dare to rise.

However, their expressions had completely changed.

There was no longer any dissatisfaction.

No longer any resentment.

And certainly—

No one dared to mention rebellion.

Instead, their eyes were filled with excitement.

A Golden Immortal!

Their leader had become a Golden Immortal!

Such an existence was enough to completely change the situation in the Eastern Region.

Mo Zun watched their expressions.

Then, he slowly opened his mouth.

"From today onward..."

Everyone immediately became silent.

They waited for his next words.

Mo Zun slowly raised his head.

"There is no longer any need for us to hide."

Silence!

The next moment—

"Hahaha! Finally!"

"We don’t have to hide anymore!"

The faces of countless Demonic Cultivators were filled with excitement.

Mo Zun slowly raised his hand.

His expression remained calm. However, a terrifying coldness flashed within his eyes.

"We have hidden long enough."

His voice echoed throughout the tavern.

"We have waited long enough."

The Demonic Cultivators stared at him.

Mo Zun slowly clenched his fist.

"Therefore..."

An overwhelming killing intent slowly emerged from his body.

"It’s time to prepare to take over those Empires for ourselves!"

His gaze seemed to penetrate through the tavern and look toward the distant horizon.

"And this time..."

His voice gradually became colder.

"We will not stop with the Desolate Heaven Empire."

Silence!

The surrounding Demonic Cultivators immediately looked toward him.

Mo Zun’s eyes flashed with ambition.

"The entire Eastern Region..."

A terrifying smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Will fall before us!"

Silence!

If Mo Zun had said those words before—

Many people might have believed that he was simply being arrogant and talking big.

The Eastern Region was enormous.

It contained countless powerful forces.

Countless sects.

Countless clans.

And countless powerful cultivators.

To conquer the entire Eastern Region?

That was simply an absurd dream.

However, things were different now.

Mo Zun was no longer a Peak Earth Immortal.

He was a Golden Immortal!

An existence standing at the absolute peak!

The Demonic Cultivators looked at Mo Zun.

Then their expressions gradually became filled with excitement.

Why couldn’t they?

With a Golden Immortal leading them—

Why couldn’t they conquer the Eastern Region?

"Hahaha!"

A Demonic Cultivator suddenly raised his fist.

"That’s right!"

His voice echoed throughout the tavern.

"With Leader Mo Zun leading us, who can stop us?"

"Exactly!"

Another Demonic Cultivator shouted.

"The Desolate Heaven Empire will fall!"

"The Eastern Region will fall!"

More and more people joined in.

The atmosphere immediately became increasingly heated.

"We have a Golden Immortal!"

"Who can oppose us?"

"Hahaha!"

Countless Demonic Cultivators raised their fists.

A future where the Demonic Cultivators would rise once again.

A future where no one would dare to oppose them.

"This world shall belong to us!"

"The Demonic Cultivators shall rule!"

"The entire Eastern Region shall fall before us!"

Their voices continued echoing.

The atmosphere had completely exploded.

The dissatisfaction from earlier had disappeared without a trace.

There was no longer any resentment toward Mo Zun.

There was only excitement.

Only fanaticism.

And—

Absolute confidence.

Mo Zun quietly watched everything.

The voices of the Demonic Cultivators continued echoing around him.

Yet Mo Zun’s thoughts had already drifted elsewhere.

The Bai Clan!

A cold light flashed within his eyes.

Years ago, he nearly died at Bai Zihan’s hands.

Even now, he could remember that battle clearly.

At that time, Bai Zihan had been far weaker than him.

Yet that young man had still managed to push him to the brink of death.

Mo Zun slowly clenched his fist.

Golden Immortal!

The overwhelming power within his body made him feel invincible.

The Bai Clan?

Bai Zihan?

A cold smile slowly appeared on Mo Zun’s face.

The excited voices continued echoing throughout the tavern.

However, Mo Zun only looked toward the distant horizon.

His killing intent gradually intensified.

Then, he spoke softly.

Almost like he was speaking to himself.

"Bai Zihan..."

A terrifying coldness flashed within his eyes.

"When the time comes..."

Mo Zun slowly clenched his fist.

"I shall kill you with my own hands!"
