Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 519 Beauty Calamity

"The Qin Clan!"

Chong Sheng halted for a moment, remembering the clan that had ruled over tens of thousands of years.

"One of the oldest and most powerful clans across the entire Western Region."

"A lineage with roots so profound that both righteous and demonic paths must show them respect."

"If any single clan extends its reach beyond its lands to span the whole continent, it has to be the Qin Clan!"

Chong Sheng went on.

"Thanks to their expertise, they can slip into any group they desire and manipulate it from the shadows. Nobody grasps the full extent of their influence, but all agree nothing stays secure from the Qin Clan."

"Thus, most families and sects avoid clashing with them outright. They strive instead to foster the strongest ties possible with the Qin Clan. After all, they know opposing them means battling not just one power..."

"...but endless hidden forces lurking behind."

"And who can say—maybe they've even wormed their way into each other's ranks. It's impossible to tell."

"That's why so many opt to stay friendly with the Qin Clan... even the Demonic Faction."

A pause.

Then his eyes narrowed a bit.

"I can't fathom why you're inquiring about Qin Lingxiao, but heed my warning: she's beyond your grasp."

Chong Sheng stated it flatly.

Not from worry for Bai Zihan—

But due to the pure dread the name Qin Lingxiao evoked.

Chong Sheng kept his stare on Bai Zihan.

For an instant, he appeared to waver, as though pondering his next words.

Then he released a long breath.

"You have no idea the horror of crossing that woman. Let me share a tale."

His tone grew icier.

"Roughly fifty years back..."

"A promising heir from a premier clan in the Western Region grew obsessed with Qin Lingxiao."

A subtle smirk crossed his face.

'Obsessed' was an understatement.

"He forced his way into her world, hounded her, and pushed for a forced union."

"He figured his heritage made him untouchable by Qin Lingxiao."

Chong Sheng eyed Bai Zihan.

Then murmured softly—

"Guess what she did?"

A short silence.

Even today, a hint of shock lingered in his look.

"When the story first reached me... I was stunned myself. Not even demonic cultivators match her ruthlessness."

He gave a soft snort.

"Anyone else would have just thrashed that idiot near death.

She had the power for it easily."

"Or maimed him to unleash her fury."

Chong Sheng's gaze shadowed.

"But not Qin Lingxiao... that wasn't her style."

"She never laid a hand on him."

"Instead, she targeted his clan—the core of his arrogance."

Bai Zihan's eyes sharpened.

Being a top clan in the Western Region meant they boasted several Earth Immortals and Supreme Immortals too.

Far surpassing the Bai Clan's current might.

Chong Sheng pressed on, his voice even and detached.

"Initially... nothing seemed amiss."

He stopped for a beat.

"That clan prided itself on unbreakable bonds."

"The Clan Leader and key Elders had endured together for ages."

"They trained as one. Battled side by side. Climbed to glory united."

"Their faith in each other defied any outsider's meddling."

A soft exhale came from him.

"Yet soon... cracks appeared."

Bai Zihan's eyes narrowed faintly.

Chong Sheng's look grew somber.

"Oddly... they all began to fawn over..."

"Qin Lingxiao!"

Chong Sheng proceeded.

"Somehow, she ensnared every heart, even those bound to other wives."

"The Clan Leader, a titan of the Western Region, fell under her spell too."

Chong Sheng snorted quietly.

"Imagine what unfolds when mighty men discover they all crave the same woman?"

His gaze chilled further.

"Each one yearned to claim her."

"And men..."

"...turn into the wildest beasts over the woman they think they adore."

"They forsake oaths. Shatter bonds of brotherhood. Betray their own kin."

"All the more with minds already swayed."

"She consumed their every thought."

"All else faded away."

Their spouses, of course, refused to endure the insanity.

"Numerous wives opted to depart."

"Some insisted on divorce." "Others vanished silently."

"Not every one fled..."

"But most did."

And so—

The last chains holding those men snapped.

"No anchors remained."

"Nothing to drag them from delusion."

"So how did they react?"

"They clashed."

"Over her. For her favor. For her notice."

Chong Sheng's voice iced over.

"They vied to show who merited her most."

"Who truly earned her."

"Who could claim her side."

Bai Zihan stayed quiet.

Chong Sheng went on.

"Their solidarity crumbled."

What came next was unavoidable.

"Each swore his passion was real."

"That rivals didn't deserve her."

"That others must yield." "Yet none yielded."

"Not even under the Clan Leader's command."

His lips twisted faintly.

"If anything, it hastened the downfall."

"When a leader forsakes reason..." "...the whole clan decays." Chong Sheng's eyes fixed on Bai Zihan.

"Civil war erupted."

"Not versus foes outside..."

"But inside their own walls."

His tone deepened.

"Golden Immortals battled."

"Their domain turned to warzone."

"Blood soaked their chambers."

"Loyalty became lethal steel."

Bai Zihan's grip tightened subtly.

"And that young heir..."

Chong Sheng's voice softened.

"He witnessed it all."

"At the start, he dismissed it as chance. Bad luck."

"Misfortune."

"Until..."

"The reality dawned."

"That all those men..."

"...had succumbed to the woman he'd pursued."

He raged initially.

Furious.

But then—Clarity struck.

Something was off.

"As the clan disintegrated..."

"As gore flooded the halls..."

"As his parents got pulled into the fray..."

His voice dropped more.

"Comprehension hit him."

A heavy quiet stretched.

"Qin Lingxiao exacted vengeance."

Chong Sheng breathed out slowly.

"Only then did he grasp whom he'd provoked."

Far too late by then.

"His clan, enduring millennia, crumbled in mere months."

"Elders perished."

"Legacies ruined."

"Even his father met his end."

A brief halt.

"She spared him to watch it unfold. To feel the price of wronging her."

Chong Sheng's eyes shadowed.

"In the end, he couldn't endure it."

The meaning hung clear.

He ended himself, shouldering blame for the ruin.

"His deeds doomed his entire clan."

Chong Sheng's tone chilled.

"She didn't crush them with raw might. She forced self-destruction."

Utter silence descended.

"That's her true horror."

Chong Sheng exhaled softly.

He learned this during his climb, battling toward Supreme Immortal.

And upon hearing it all, he had to respect her.

"I've never encountered her face-to-face, but tales claim her allure could topple kingdoms."

He scoffed lightly.

"I dismissed it as hype at first."

"But this tale proves its kernel of truth."

"Without such devastating beauty, she couldn't have unhinged those Golden Immortals."

A odd glint flickered in his eyes.

Not mere dread—

But admiration.

She'd annihilate a whole clan over one slight.

That's this world's brutal law. Cross the mighty, and it's not just your life—your kin, your bloodline pays dearly.

"Her looks are deemed a disaster, making men lose sanity and beg as her thralls."

"And it hardly sounds like baseless gossip."

Chong Sheng murmured.

"This happened right as she entered the Immortal Realm."

A quick pause.

"Today?"

He regarded Bai Zihan.

"She's undoubtedly deadlier."

Bai Zihan absorbed it wordlessly.

He knew Qin Lingxiao's menace all too well.

He'd faced it firsthand.

Lacking the System—

Escape might have eluded him. Let alone—

She'd masked her true visage.

Just borrowed Yu Feiyan's features. Maybe—

Had she unveiled her authentic beauty...

Not even he could have withstood.

Bai Zihan's eyes narrowed.

"Know her vulnerability?"

Chong Sheng shook his head.

"In a straight duel, you might have a shot."

"But you'd need Earth Immortal level or beyond."

A pause.

Then his voice hushed.

"Her power renders combat pointless."

His stare pierced Bai Zihan.

"The instant her face meets your eyes, you're done."
