Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!

Chapter 500 Back at Falling Star Empire!

Bai Zihan had come to the Falling Star Empire, the moment he received the message.

Truthfully, there was nothing else for him to do recently other than train for the position of Clan Leader.

Although his father had begun involving him in clan matters, Bai Zihan still found those responsibilities rather dull.

Compared to that-

Hunting down a Heaven Chosen One was far more interesting.

And far more necessary.

After reading the report sent by Sun Yaoqing, Bai Zihan had already realized something.

Chong Sheng had grown quite strong.

Well, he expected it somewhat, but it was still far too fast progress.

Bai Zihanʼs eyes narrowed slightly.

(Former Supreme Immortal...)

He thought silently.

Indeed-

Someone like that could never be underestimated.

Although his new body and cultivation was weak, with his former memories and knowledge, it was indeed not difficult to rise through the cultivation realms.

If Chong Sheng could grow this much within just a few months, Bai Zihan couldnʼt imagine how terrifying he might become in a few years.

Fortunately-

He had encountered Chong Sheng when he was still weak.

And because of that encounter, Bai Zihan had already ordered people to keep watch for any trace of him.

Otherwise...

If Chong Sheng had been allowed to grow freely without him noticing-

Who knew what kind of monster he might have become?

A faint killing intent flickered within Bai Zihanʼs eyes before disappearing again.

Although there was no personal grudge between him and Chong Sheng, Bai Zihan knew that he must take care of Chong Sheng.

This wasnʼt the same case as Lin Xuan or Bai Xueqing.

No matter what, he was still a demonic cultivator.

Their methods were cruel.

Their paths were stained with blood.

And more importantly-

Chong Sheng was still a Heaven Chosen One.

If fate continued its usual course, a conflict between them would eventually

occur.

Even if not, who knew that when he became strong, he might set his eyes on the Desolate Heaven Empire.

Fighting was inevitable, and Bai Zihan had also started to hate these demonic cultivators.

Although he knew that there was no direct connection, it was indeed these same type of people who kidnapped Luo Qing.

Moreover, If he left things to fate...

Then one day he might die like some third-rate villain, existing only to strengthen the protagonist.

That was something Bai Zihan would never allow.

So if he had the opportunity-

He would eliminate the threat before it could fully grow.

A cold smile appeared faintly on his lips.

”This is probably the best chance.”

If he missed this and gave Chong Sheng a few years, he could easily ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Perhaps it might not even take years.

But he also knew that once he struck, he must finish the job.

Otherwise, all he would be doing was making grudges and giving Chong Sheng

a reason to train harder and take revenge.

His journey here had been extremely simple.

He came alone.

Tearing through space itself since he was already in the Void Refinement Realm, and it was faster this way.

With his current strength, traveling across empires was no longer difficult.

Perhaps bringing the Grand Elder might have made the mission foolproof. However, there was a reason he didnʼt bring anyone with him this time. Firstly, because he could not allow the Grand Elder to leave the Bai Clan territory, not at such a dangerous time.

At the moment, the Desolate Heaven Empire had several foreign experts whose cultivation realms were extremely high.

Xi Yu was one, though she might have already left the Empire. Then there was

Qin Lingxiao who had her eyes on the Bai Clan.

There was a high chance that there would be others as well.

Hence why he couldnʼt afford to weaken their forces.

The second reason was even simpler.

He did not believe anyone in the Falling Star Empire could threaten him.

Not with his current strength.

Soon after-

A faint ripple spread through the air above the Imperial Palace.

Space itself seemed to distort slightly before a figure slowly stepped out from

the tear.

Bai Zihan.

His expression remained calm, as if tearing through space across empires was nothing more than taking a simple step.

Below him, the massive Imperial Palace of the Falling Star Empire stood majestically. Layers of golden roofs stretched across the palace grounds while guards patrolled the walls.

The moment Bai Zihan descended toward the palace gates, the guards instantly sensed his presence.

However-

Before they could even react, someone else had already stepped forward.

Mingzhu!

She had just returned from delivering an order when she suddenly noticed Bai Zihanʼs presence and immediately came out.

For a brief moment, her eyes widened.

She immediately recognized him.

Mingzhu quickly composed herself and stepped forward respectfully.

”Young Master Bai!”

She bowed politely.

Her tone was extremely careful.

Although she was the Empressʼs personal attendant and had seen many

powerful figures before, standing before Bai Zihan still placed immense

pressure on her.

This was someone who could destroy entire sects and slay Great Ascension

experts.

Not to mention the clan behind him, which was now thought to be the strongest in the Desolate Heaven Empire-something even the Imperial Yu Family could not restrain.

A single mistake in her words might bring disaster to the empire.

”Please follow me!”

She gestured respectfully and began leading him into the palace.

Bai Zihan did not say anything and simply followed behind her. The palace guards watched silently as the two figures walked inside. Soon, Bai Zihan was led into a quiet reception hall within the palace.

Mingzhu gestured toward a seat.

”Young Master Bai, please.”

Bai Zihan sat down calmly.

A servant quickly brought tea and placed it on the table before him.

Mingzhu stood respectfully nearby, her posture straight and disciplined.

After a brief moment of silence, she finally spoke.

”Young Master Bai... may I ask what brings you to the Imperial Palace?”

Her tone was polite but extremely cautious.

It wasnʼt a tone of questioning, but rather one that implied that whatever he

was here for, she would help him.

Bai Zihan lifted the teacup slightly but did not drink.

His gaze remained calm.

”I have something to discuss with Princess Sun Yaoqing.”

His voice was simple and direct.

Mingzhu didnʼt bother correcting Bai Zihan on how he should address Sun

Yaoqing as Empress.

If it had been anyone else, she would have definitely confronted them for the

disrespect.

Mingzhu immediately nodded.

She bowed again.

”Please wait a moment, Young Master Bai. I will inform Her Majesty

immediately.”

With that, she quickly turned and left the hall.

Her steps were slightly faster than usual as she made her way toward the

Empressʼs chamber.
