Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!

Chapter 408 Reaching Top Spirit Severing Realm!

Three days later!

Bai Zihan slowly opened his eyes.

The dim interior of the tent came back into focus as the last traces of circulating Qi settled within his dantian. ”Already... three days?”

He muttered softly, a hint of surprise in his voice.

Time had passed far faster than he expected.

With the 100× Cultivation Speed Card activated, his cultivation devoured Qi at a terrifying rate-like a bottomless abyss.

Bai Zihan exhaled slowly and glanced to the side.

Several empty jade bottles lay scattered near him. ”Almost all of them...”

He clicked his tongue lightly.

He had used nearly every cultivation pill he had brought with him.

After all, a hundredfold cultivation speed without sufficient Qi would be nothing more than empty talk.

Fortunately-

He wasnʼt worried in the slightest.

With his mother being Mu Yuelan of the Mu Clan, pills were never something he lacked.

If he needed more, he could simply ask next time.

The Mu Clan might be poor in combat strength, but when it came to pills?

They were practically inexhaustible. ”System!” *********** [Host Info]

He managed to break through twice within three days, an unthinkable feat for those in the Spirit Severing Realm.

Well, with a 100x Card, it was like breaking through twice in 200 days, which wasnʼt too bad.

After all, who could claim to break through twice in a year at the Spirit Severing Realm?

If everyone had such cultivation speed, then anyone could reach the Immortal Realm within 100 years.

Bai Zihan rose to his feet, rolling his shoulders lightly.

He pushed aside the curtain and stepped outside.

Fresh air greeted him.

Bai Zihanʼs gaze sharpened slightly. (Did the Demonic Beasts attack...?)

Before he could think further, he noticed a familiar figure standing just a few steps away from his tent.

Straight-backed.

Guarding the tent like a statue.

It was the same Bai Clan disciple he had given orders to three days ago.

Bai Zihan raised an eyebrow. ”Youʼre still here?”

He asked.

The disciple stiffened instantly, then turned and bowed deeply. ”Young Master!”

Bai Zihan looked at him calmly. ”I told you to rel the order,” he said, ”not stand guard.”

The disciple hesitated for a fraction of a second, then lowered his head even further. ”I... I volunteered myself!”

He said honestly.

Bai Zihan studied him for a moment.

Then he said nothing more.

Instead, he shifted his gaze toward the distance. ”Did the Demonic Beasts attack?”

Bai Zihan asked.

The disciple shook his head immediately. ”No, Young Master,” he replied. ”There has been no major movement for the past three days. The frontlines have remained stable.”

Bai Zihan nodded slowly. ”I see!”

His eyes narrowed faintly as he looked toward the horizon, where dark clouds. still lingered far beyond the battlefield.

No movement...

That, in itself, was unusual.

But Bai Zihan didnʼt dwell on it for long.

Whatever was coming-

He would be ready.

Bai Zihan didnʼt linger any longer.

After confirming that the frontlines were calm, he turned and walked away from the encampment, his steps unhurried yet purposeful.

Bai Zihan went to look for the Bai Clanʼs Grand Elders.

After asking around, he was told where they were.

They were outside the encampment.

At least five miles away.

Bai Zihan headed in that direction without hesitation.

The farther he went, the emptier the surroundings became.

He already knew the reason.

With the Grand Elders practicing Fate Severing Slash, allowing anyone to remain nearby would be courting death.

Even a stray ripple of sword intent could end a life instantly.

That was why they chose an area where there was no one.

Soon enough, he arrived at the destination where the Grand Elders were.

They were practicing Fate Severing Slash.

Even from a distance, Bai Zihan could feel it.

The technique they used wasnʼt fully comprehended by him, though it was certainly still powerful.

With a light step, his figure blurred, and he descended toward them like a falling leaf.

The Grand Elders halted simultaneously.

Swords stopped mid-motion.

Heads snapped up. ”Heʼs here.” ”So fast...” ”Looks like he made another breakthrough!”

They had already sensed him coming when he was five miles away-not that Bai

Zihan was trying to hide, anyway.

He touched down lightly a short distance away.

Then-

Their eyes widened. ”...Top Spirit Severing Realm?” ”No-wait.”

Bai Ruhong took a sharp breath, staring at Bai Zihan. ”This aura... itʼs not just one breakthrough.”

He stepped closer, his spiritual sense sweeping over Bai Zihan without restraint -yet Bai Zihan didnʼt resist at all.

Bai Ruhong froze. ”...Two.”

His voice cracked. ”You advanced two realms in three days?!”

The other Grand Elders sucked in cold breaths.

Impossible.

Utterly impossible.

Bai Ruhong stared at Bai Zihan intensely before blurting out- ”What did you eat?”

Several elders nodded subconsciously.

What kind of heaven-defying pill could cause this?

What kind of divine treasure?

Or forbidden technique?

Bai Zihan blinked once. Then smiled faintly. ”I just worked hard,” he said calmly.

The Grand Elders stared at him.

Worked hard?

That was it?

That explanation was so absurd that none of them knew how to respond.

Bai Ren let out a helpless laugh, rubbing his temples. ”Every time you open your mouth, you make us feel like our centuries of cultivation were wasted.”

Bai Yui shook her head slowly, her expression a mixture of amazement and resignation. ”If anyone else said that, I wouldʼve smacked them.” ”But coming from you...” she sighed. ”I canʼt even argue.”

The Grand Elders exchanged glances.

Bewildered.

Speechless.

And yet-

There was no doubt left in their hearts.

Bai Zihan truly walked a path that no ordinary cultivator could follow.

A path that defied logic itself.

Bai Ren looked at Bai Zihan deeply. ”Good,” he said slowly. ”Very good!” Then his expression sharpened. ”Because if this war drags on...you may soon need even more strength than this. Though itʼs not like I would let it!”

Bai Ren said confidently as he looked at his sword. Next time he met Half-Qilin, he vowed that he would finish him off with Fate Severing Slash.

Bai Zihan listened quietly to Bai Renʼs words.

Only after the elder finished did he speak. ”I came to check how the progress was, Bai Zihan said calmly.

The Grand Elders turned their attention back to him.

Then he added, almost casually- ”Now that Iʼm fully healed, I can help you personally learn the technique.”

The words fell as naturally as they could.

A Spirit Severing cultivator helping Immortals.

If anyone else had said such words, they would have been laughed out of the area or worse, reprimanded on the spot.

Yet no one laughed. No one frowned. Rather, they nodded like it was natural. Without another word, Bai Zihan stepped aside and watched.

The Grand Elders showed how much had comprehended the Fate

Severing Slash.

Bai Zihan observed closely. Every movement.

Every pause.

Among them all, Bai Chu was the one who had comprehended the most.

Well, it was expected, as he was the one with Sword Intent, so learning the

Sword Technique was technically easier for him.

Bai Ren followed closely behind. The others were not bad.

But they lagged clearly behind these two.

After watching for a while, Bai Zihan nodded to himself.

Then he stepped forward. ”For the day,” Bai Zihan said, his voice calm yet clear, ”Iʼll practice alongside you.”

He continued. ”Iʼll also answer any questions related to Fate Severing Slash.” (Time to use the Martial Arts Enlightenment Card!)
