Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 641 True God

Deep within one of the Bai clan's heavily guarded underground chambers, there were three new prisoners.

Long Haotian and the two Golden Immortal elders of the Long Clan.

Their expressions were ugly.

Earth-grade artifact shackles bound their wrists, ankles, and even their necks.

The artifacts continuously suppressed the circulation of Qi within their bodies.

However, Bai Zihan knew better than anyone that such measures alone were far from sufficient.

These were Golden Immortal Cultivators.

A moment of carelessness could lead to disaster.

Although the Bai Clan also has Bai Ren and Bai Chu, Bai Zihan didn't want to take any chances.

Thus, after bringing them back to the Bai Clan, Bai Zihan had personally sealed their meridians.

Bai Zihan instructed the guards to also seal their meridians every hour.

Only then did Bai Zihan feel somewhat reassured.

Inside the chamber, Bai Zihan sat calmly across from Long Haotian.

His fingers lightly tapped the armrest of his chair.

Tap! Tap!

The rhythmic sound echoed through the room.

Long Haotian's expression darkened.

He naturally understood why he had been brought here.

Interrogation!

Unfortunately for Bai Zihan, Long Haotian had already made up his mind.

As long as he refused to answer, there was nothing Bai Zihan could do.

The Heavenly Vow remained hanging above his head. If he lied, Heavenly Tribulation would descend immediately.

But he also couldn't afford to tell his clan's secret mission to Bai Zihan as who knows what kind of consequence he would need to face.

Thus, silence was his safest choice.

Bai Zihan looked at him.

"Let's start with something simple."

Long Haotian remained silent.

Bai Zihan wasn't surprised.

"Why did the Long Clan come to the Desolate Heaven Empire?"

Silence!

"What are you looking for?"

Silence!

Long Haotian simply closed his eyes.

His expression practically screamed that he would not answer anything.

Bai Zihan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Truthfully, there was something that had already been bothering him for quite some time.

The Heavenly Vow!

By all logic, Long Haotian should have already suffered divine punishment.

After all, he had clearly violated parts of the vow.

Yet until now...

Nothing.

No punishment whatsoever.

The heavens remained completely silent.

Bai Zihan couldn't help feeling annoyed.

When he had broken the Heavenly Vow, Heaven had immediately tried to strike him dead.

Now Long Haotian violated it and somehow nothing happened.

The more Bai Zihan thought about it, the more irritated he became.

"So the heavens are deliberately targeting me?"

He muttered.

He thought that previously because he survived against heavenly Tribulation, that's why Heaven tribulation deliberately worked against him.

Or it might even be because of his villain identity that Heaven didn't want to assist him with his goal.

Anyways, it seems like threatening Long Haotian with the heavenly vow wouldn't work.

Bai Zihan stared at Long Haotian.

Several seconds passed.

Then Bai Zihan slowly stood up and began walking toward Long Haotian.

"Answer me while I am being nice, otherwise you might face fate worse than heavenly Tribulation!"

Long Haotian suddenly felt a bad premonition.

A moment later—

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

A miserable scream echoed throughout the chamber.

The two elders jumped from the chamber next door as they heard their young master's scream which was similar to that of a pig.

Long Haotian's body convulsed violently.

His face twisted beyond recognition.

Every muscle in his body trembled uncontrollably.

Bai Zihan has basically mastered the art of torture. Targeting body organs which could generate the most pain while leaving not much injury.

Torture is all about trying to keep the culprit alive while making them suffer as much as possible.

"Question one. Why did you come here?"

Long Haotian gritted his teeth.

"I won't—"

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

Another scream erupted.

This one was even louder than before.

Long Haotian's entire body was shaking.

Tears had already begun forming in his eyes.

Bai Zihan nodded thoughtfully.

"Still refusing?"

Several more seconds passed.

Then—

"AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!"

The chamber shook from the scream.

Long Haotian nearly collapsed.

Bai Zihan looked somewhat disappointed.

"Your endurance isn't very impressive."

Long Haotian's face twitched.

Endurance?

What endurance?!

The pain Bai Zihan inflicted seemed to target every nerve, every meridian, and every corner of his soul simultaneously.

It was pure torture.

The kind of torture that made death seem merciful.

Bai Zihan sighed.

"I fear that you might die before you give me the answer I want."

Long Haotian's eyes immediately widened.

What kind of language was this?

Can't you just stop if you think you are going to kill me?

Bai Zihan slowly raised his hand again.

The moment Long Haotian saw it, his expression changed dramatically.

"WAIT!"

Bai Zihan paused.

Long Haotian's breathing became rapid.

His earlier confidence had completely disappeared.

His pride had vanished.

His stubbornness had vanished.

Everything had vanished.

All that remained was panic.

"I'll talk!"

The words came out almost instantly.

Bai Zihan blinked as he looked at Long Haotian.

"That was fast."

Long Haotian nearly coughed blood.

Fast?

It had only taken a few moments for Bai Zihan to completely destroy his resolve.

At this point, Heavenly Tribulation suddenly seemed far less terrifying than whatever Bai Zihan was doing to him.

Bai Zihan smiled pleasantly and returned to his seat.

"Excellent!"

He crossed his legs leisurely.

"Now,"

His eyes narrowed.

"Let's start from the beginning."

***

The reason Long Haotian had come to the Desolate Heaven Empire was actually very simple.

He was searching for a legacy.

However, it was not an ordinary legacy.

Rather, it was a legacy rumored to belong to a True God.

As for what realm a True God actually represented, no one knew.

The title had appeared only a handful of times throughout countless years of recorded history.

Even among the oldest forces of the Central Glorious Continent, information regarding True Gods was scarce.

Most regarded it as little more than a myth.

After all, even Immortal Emperors had long vanished from the world.

Although traces of their existence could still be found throughout history, no living cultivator had ever witnessed one.

Yet the legends surrounding True Gods were even more mysterious.

All believed that a True God stood above the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Others believed it was merely another title for an Immortal Emperor.

There were even those who claimed that True Gods did not belong to the cultivation system at all.

Regardless of the truth, one fact remained universally accepted.

If True Gods truly existed, they were beings far beyond ordinary understanding.

Existences capable of living for millions of years without exhausting their lifespan.

Existences capable of overlooking countless eras while empires rose and fell beneath them.

Existences whose power could not be measured by their current standards.

Throughout all recorded history, only a single individual was suspected of reaching such a stage.

A figure whose existence bordered between history and legend.

Over countless generations, many supreme powers attempted to uncover the truth.

Unfortunately, none succeeded.

Gradually, it has been forgotten by the time.

The legend of the True God gradually faded into obscurity.

Even among the supreme powers of the Central Glorious Continent, very few still took the story seriously.

At least, that had been the case until several thousand years ago.

An ancient ruin suddenly emerged.

Its appearance shook the entire Central Glorious Continent.

The ruins contained treasures beyond imagination.

Heaven-defying artifacts.

Rare resources that had vanished from the world long ago.

Even Golden Immortals and Supreme Immortals were driven mad by the discoveries.

The moment news spread, countless factions descended upon the ruins.

What followed was an exploration and war that lasted for a long period of time inside the ruin.

Yet despite all the bloodshed, the greatest treasure hidden within the ruins was not a cultivation technique or an artifact.

It was a map!

A seemingly ordinary map.

However, everyone could tell that whatever the map was pointing to, the treasure within should be even greater than what was found in the ruins.

Many believe that it must be the legacy very likely belonging to the legendary True God.

After all, the treasure within the ruins already was beyond imagination, so the treasure that the Map continued must be higher.

Of course, if someone had managed to obtain the complete map, they might have been able to locate the legacy directly.

Unfortunately, reality rarely unfolded so smoothly.

The moment the map appeared, the entire Central Glorious Continent descended into chaos.

Every major faction wanted it.

Every supreme power believed they were destined to obtain the inheritance.

And thus, another war erupted.

This conflict was even more intense than the battle over the ruins themselves.

Golden Immortals fell.

Supreme Immortals severely injured.

Ancient clans and immortal sects shed rivers of blood.

Everyone fought desperately for ownership of the map.

In the end, no single faction succeeded.

Instead, during the final struggle, the map was torn apart.

The complete map was divided into multiple fragments.

Different pieces fell into the hands of different powers.

Although everyone possessed only a portion of the treasure, no one was willing to hand theirs over.

Thus, the complete map disappeared from the world.

For countless years afterward, the various factions secretly studied their respective fragments.

Most discovered very little.

After all, a single fragment could not reveal the whole picture.

However, the supreme powers of the Central Glorious Continent were not simple.

Through countless deductions, ancient divination methods, and comparisons with historical records, some gradually managed to uncover clues.

Although no one could determine the exact location of the legacy, they were able to identify a general region.

And that discovery shocked everyone.

The location pointed toward the Eastern Continent.

More specifically, somewhere within the vicinity of the Desolate Heaven Empire.
