Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 692 Bai Xueqing in Captivity
Previously on Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!...
Meanwhile, while Bai Tianheng continued wasting the Shen Clan's time, Bai Zihan and his team were already heading toward the location where Bai Xueqing was being held captive.
This operation was deliberately kept small.
Only the strongest experts had been brought.
Three Earth Immortals!
And Bai Ren, who possessed Golden Immortal strength.
There was no need to bring too many people.
Doing so would only increase the chances of alerting the Shen Clan.
Bai Zihan stood at the front of the group, his expression calm as he silently calculated their chances.
The Shen Clan clearly believed that the Bai Clan had no idea where Bai Xueqing was being held.
That confidence was precisely what gave them an advantage.
As long as they believed that the Bai Clan didn't know where Bai Xueqing was being kept, they wouldn't deploy too many people to guard her.
Especially since they knew that the Bai Clan's forces were currently at the Shen Clan.
If they sent too many people to guard Bai Xueqing, there was also a high chance that their movements would attract attention.
With three Earth Immortals and Bai Ren accompanying him, Bai Zihan was confident that rescuing Bai Xueqing would not be too difficult.
Just then, a communication talisman suddenly lit up.
Bai Zihan glanced at it.
A message from Bai Tianheng.
They had arrived at the Shen Clan.
And, more importantly, Bai Tianheng was already making a huge commotion.
He was deliberately drawing the Shen Clan's attention toward himself.
A faint smile appeared on Bai Zihan's face.
"Father has arrived."
The surrounding experts immediately became serious.
Bai Zihan looked ahead.
"Then there's no reason for us to wait any longer."
His eyes became sharp.
"Move!"
The moment his voice fell, the entire group accelerated.
The moment Bai Zihan gave the order, the entire group immediately concealed their auras.
No one dared to release the slightest trace of Qi.
They also didn't dare tear open the void.
Under normal circumstances, traveling through the void would be much faster.
However, the spatial fluctuations created by tearing open the void could easily attract the attention of nearby experts.
The same applied to flying at high speed.
Therefore, they had only one choice: using their physical speed.
Fortunately, everyone in the group was extremely powerful.
Their physical speed alone was astonishing.
Whoosh!
Several figures flashed across the land like ghosts.
Their feet barely touched the ground before they disappeared into the distance again.
They moved silently, relying purely on their physical strength to travel toward their destination.

Meanwhile, thousands of kilometers away.
Inside a secluded underground chamber.
Bai Xueqing slowly opened her eyes.
Her vision was initially blurry.
She tried to move but the moment she did, she felt the restraints around her body.
Her expression changed.
She immediately looked around.
The first thing she saw was a familiar figure.
"Master..."
Bai Xueqing's eyes widened.
Qinglan was tied up nearby. Her condition was no better than Bai Xueqing's.
Her hands were bound, and her cultivation had clearly been sealed.
Bai Xueqing's expression immediately became solemn.
She tried to recall what had happened.
The memories slowly returned.
At that time, she and Qinglan had been fighting against two Great Ascension Realm cultivators and Shen Liang.
Although the situation was dangerous, Bai Xueqing had not been losing.
She had been able to hold on.
Even if she couldn't defeat them immediately, she had been confident that she could continue fighting.
But then, something unexpected happened.
Shen Liang had suddenly activated a strange artifact.
A powerful spatial fluctuation had erupted.
A teleportation artifact!
Bai Xueqing's expression changed slightly.
Shen Liang had used that artifact to summon additional cultivators.
More importantly, their cultivation was so powerful that Bai Xueqing couldn't even clearly sense their realms.
After that… Her memories became blurry.
She couldn't remember exactly what had happened afterward.
She could only vaguely recall being surrounded.
Then—nothing.
When she woke up again, she was already here.
Bai Xueqing's heart sank.
She immediately understood what had most likely happened.
She had been defeated and Shen Liang had kidnapped her.
At that moment—
"Hehe..."
A familiar voice suddenly echoed through the chamber.
"You're finally awake."
Bai Xueqing's expression instantly became cold.
She looked toward the entrance.
A figure slowly walked into the chamber.
Shen Liang!
He wore a smug smile as he looked at the two women.
Seeing Bai Xueqing awake, the smile on his face widened.
"Hehe, it seems your injuries weren't as serious as I thought."
Bai Xueqing stared at him coldly.
"Shen Liang!"
Her voice carried obvious killing intent.
"You'd better pray that the Bai Clan never finds you."
Shen Liang's smile froze slightly.
Then he laughed.
"Hahaha! Your Clan?"
He shook his head.
Shen Liang's smile became even wider.
"Do you really think the Bai Clan can save you?"
He slowly walked closer.
"The Bai Clan is already under the hands of our Shen Clan."
Bai Xueqing's eyes narrowed.
Shen Liang continued smugly.
"You think the Bai Clan is strong? Hehe… You have no idea who is backing our Shen Clan."
His expression became increasingly excited.
"For them, a clan like the Bai Clan is nothing more than a slightly larger ant. The Bai Clan's strength may be impressive in the Eastern Region, but before that existence, it means nothing."
Shen Liang's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"The Bai Clan's doom has already arrived!"
Bai Xueqing looked at him coldly.
She clearly didn't believe his words.
However, she couldn't completely dismiss them either.
After all, too many strange things had happened recently.
Shen Liang's severed arm had somehow recovered.
His cultivation had even advanced all the way to the Void Refinement Realm.
And there were also those cultivators whose cultivation and identities she didn't know.
There was clearly something unusual happening behind the Shen Clan.
Even so, Bai Xueqing still refused to believe that the Bai Clan would lose, especially with Bai Zihan.
Bai Zihan also possessed countless strange methods and trump cards.
Even she didn't know how many secrets he was hiding.
There was no way someone like Shen Liang could understand what Bai Zihan was capable of.
As long as Bai Zihan was still there, Bai Xueqing couldn't believe that the Shen Clan could truly destroy the Bai Clan.
Shen Liang, however, misunderstood her silence.
He stepped closer, his eyes filled with greed.
"Of course, there is still a way for you to survive."
Bai Xueqing frowned.
Shen Liang grinned.
"Submit to me. Become my woman. If you agree to serve me obediently, I might consider pleading with the Lord on your behalf."
His expression became increasingly arrogant.
"Perhaps I can even convince them to spare your life."
Bai Xueqing stared at him for several seconds.
Then she coldly replied,
"You should look in the mirror first."
Shen Liang's smile froze.
Bai Xueqing's eyes were filled with undisguised contempt.
Shen Liang stared at Bai Xueqing for several moments.
Instead of becoming angry, his smile gradually widened.
"Good! Good!"
His eyes were filled with excitement.
"I wonder how many days your arrogance will last."
His gaze swept over Bai Xueqing's face.
"Let's see how long you can maintain that expression."
Slap!
A sharp sound echoed through the chamber.
Shen Liang suddenly slapped Bai Xueqing across the face.
Her head was forced slightly to the side, yet Bai Xueqing didn't cry out.
She didn't even make a sound.
Slowly, she turned her head back.
Her eyes locked onto Shen Liang.
They were filled with icy killing intent.
Shen Liang wasn't frightened.
Instead, his smile became even wider.
"Still glaring at me?"
He laughed softly.
"Good. Very good."
He reached out and grabbed Bai Xueqing's chin, forcing her to look directly at him.
"You're enduring quite well. I wonder how long you can continue."
Bai Xueqing remained silent.
Her eyes were cold enough to freeze the surrounding air.
Shen Liang seemed to enjoy her reaction.
"Watching someone as proud as you slowly lose that arrogance will be far more interesting."
Just then—
A cold voice suddenly came from behind him.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Liang's expression instantly changed.
The arrogance on his face disappeared.
His body stiffened.
He immediately turned around.
The moment he saw the figure standing behind him, his pupils contracted.
Without hesitation, Shen Liang stepped back and bowed deeply.
"Greetings, Sir!"
His voice was filled with respect.
And beneath that respect was unmistakable fear.
"What brings you here, Sir?"
The man glanced past Shen Liang and looked at Bai Xueqing.
His expression remained indifferent.
"I came to check on her."
Shen Liang immediately nodded.
"Of course, Sir!"
He glanced at Bai Xueqing and smiled.
"Don't worry, Sir. I'll teach her a proper lesson. I'll make sure she becomes obedient to me."
Slap!
A terrifying force suddenly struck Shen Liang across the face.
His body was sent stumbling several steps to the side.
He froze in disbelief, clutching his burning cheek.
The man looked at him coldly.
"Do you really think someone like you is worthy of coveting her?"
