Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 704 The Gu Master's Escape

The Bai Clan experts immediately wanted to pursue him.

However—

Boom!

The remaining Immortal refined corpses stood directly in their path.

They had already received their master's final command.

Stop them!

And until that command was fulfilled, they would continue fighting.

The Bai Clan experts had no choice but to deal with them first.

Bai Tianheng's expression was cold.

His eyes remained fixed on the distant streak of light disappearing beyond the horizon.

The Gu Master was still a Golden Immortal.

Right now, only Bai Chu was a match for him and he was in a fight with Golden Immortal Corpse.

To successfully pursue and capture him, the Bai Clan would need at least another Golden Immortal-level expert.

Alternatively, several Earth Immortals could work together to slow him down.

However, that was impossible at the moment.

The Bai Clan's Earth Immortals were also occupied.

And the remaining Golden Immortal refined corpses were blocking their path.

By the time they dealt with them, the Gu Master would already be long gone.

Bai Tianheng slowly exhaled.

"Forget him."

His voice echoed across the battlefield.

"We'll deal with these corpses first."

The Bai Clan experts immediately understood.

Although they had allowed the Gu Master to escape, his departure had changed the situation completely.

The moment their master disappeared, the refined corpses became far less threatening.

They were still powerful.

But without someone actively controlling and coordinating them, they were nothing more than brainless puppets.

Boom!

Bai Chu raised his Saint Grade Sword.

A terrifying sword light descended.

The Golden Immortal refined corpse blocking him immediately raised its arms.

BOOM!!!

The corpse was sent flying backward.

At the same time, the five Earth Immortals attacking the other Golden Immortal corpse increased the intensity of their attacks.

Without the Gu Master's control, the corpse became even easier to predict.

It no longer received instructions.

It could only rely on its remaining instincts and its final command.

The five Bai Clan Earth Immortals immediately took advantage of that.

"Attack!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several powerful techniques descended simultaneously.

The Golden Immortal corpse attempted to retaliate.

However, the five Earth Immortals continuously moved around it.

Without the Gu Master's coordination, it became increasingly difficult for the corpse to deal with them.

Meanwhile, the other battlefields were already coming to an end.

The Earth Immortal refined corpses were gradually surrounded.

One after another, they were destroyed.

The Immortal Ascension Realm refined corpses lasted even less time.

Without proper commands and coordination, they were quickly overwhelmed.

And as the refined corpses fell, the Shen Clan's expressions became increasingly desperate.

Their final backer had fled.

The terrifying Gu Master who had appeared with three Golden Immortal refined corpses had abandoned them without hesitation.

Their supposed savior had run away.

Shen Clan cultivators stared blankly at the battlefield.

Their hearts gradually sank.

The Bai Clan had been difficult enough to resist before.

Now, even the Gu Master's refined corpse army had been defeated.

How could they possibly continue fighting?

Boom!

Another Earth Immortal refined corpse crashed to the ground.

Its body was covered in cracks.

Several Bai Clan experts immediately attacked.

BOOM!!!

The corpse was completely destroyed.

That final scene seemed to break the Shen Clan's remaining courage.

One cultivator slowly lowered his weapon.

Then—

Clang!

His sword fell to the ground.

"I-I surrender..."

His voice was filled with despair.

Then another Shen Clan member dropped his weapon.

"I surrender too!"

"I don't want to die! Please spare me!"

One after another, the Shen Clan cultivators began kneeling.

The Bai Clan experts remained alert. However, they did not immediately attack those who surrendered.

Seeing that those who surrendered were not killed, even more Shen Clan cultivators abandoned their weapons.

"I-I also surrender!"

"Please spare my life!"

"We surrender!"

Within moments, large numbers of Shen Clan cultivators had fallen to their knees.

Of course—

Not everyone was willing to surrender.

Some continued fighting desperately.

Some attempted to escape.

Others chose to make one final attack.

The Bai Clan showed them no mercy.

Boom! Slash!

One after another, the remaining cultivators who continued resisting were eliminated.

The Shen Clan had either surrendered or died.

Shen Wuheng stood in the middle of the ruined battlefield.

Around him were destroyed buildings.

Countless corpses.

Broken artifacts.

And kneeling Shen Clan cultivators.

His face was pale.

His expression was filled with despair.

The Shen Clan had lost.

There was no longer any possibility of turning the situation around.

Their powerful backer had fled.

The refined corpse army had been defeated.

And the Bai Clan still stood above them.

Shen Wuheng slowly looked toward Bai Chu.

The Saint Grade Sword remained in Bai Chu's hand.

Even from a distance, Shen Wuheng could feel the terrifying pressure it emitted.

His body trembled slightly.

In the end—

He slowly lowered his head.

Then he stepped forward.

The surrounding Bai Clan cultivators immediately became alert.

However, Shen Wuheng did not attack.

Instead—

He slowly fell to his knees.

"I surrender!"

His voice was hoarse. The remaining Shen Clan cultivators stared at their Clan Leader.

Even Shen Wuheng had surrendered.

The Shen Clan was truly finished.

Shen Wuheng then immediately raised his head and looked toward Bai Tianheng.

"Bai Tianheng!"

Shen Wuheng hurriedly spoke.

"I know what you want."

His voice carried a trace of desperation.

"I can take you to where your daughter is."

The surrounding Bai Clan experts immediately turned their attention toward him. Shen Wuheng continued quickly.

"I will lead you there immediately."

His fists clenched tightly.

"I only ask that the Bai Clan show mercy."

At that moment, Shen Wuheng had completely abandoned any remaining dignity.

As long as he could survive, nothing else mattered.

However, just as he finished speaking—

"No need!"

The sudden voice echoed across the battlefield.

Shen Wuheng froze.

Everyone instinctively looked toward the source of the voice.

Then—

Rip!

The space above the ruined Shen Clan suddenly tore apart.

A massive spatial crack appeared.

Terrifying spatial fluctuations spread throughout the surroundings.

A figure slowly stepped out from the spatial crack.

Bai Zihan!

Behind him stood several familiar figures.

Bai Ren and others including the Gu Master, Bai Xueqing and Qinglan.

The moment Bai Tianheng saw the person standing beside them, his expression changed completely.

"Xueqing'er!"

His figure disappeared.

Whoosh!

In the next instant, Bai Tianheng appeared directly before Bai Xueqing.

His eyes rapidly scanned her from head to toe.

"Are you hurt?"

Bai Xueqing shook her head.

"I'm fine, Father."

Bai Tianheng remained silent for several moments. Then he finally released a long breath.

Relief filled his eyes.

There were no signs that she had been harmed.

Bai Xueqing stood there completely unharmed.

Only then did Bai Tianheng's tense heart finally relax.

Meanwhile, Shen Wuheng remained completely frozen.

It was as though someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water over his head.

Bai Xueqing… was already here.

Looks like the Bai Clan had really known about her true location.

They had known about the Shen Clan's plan from the very beginning.

Shen Wuheng's body trembled slightly.

That meant the people guarding Bai Xueqing—

His eyes slowly widened.

Shen Liang!

His son had been there.

Along with the other Shen Clan experts.

If Bai Zihan had personally appeared here with Bai Xueqing, then there was only one possible explanation.

They were dead.

Shen Wuheng's lips moved slightly yet no words came out.

For a brief moment, grief surged within his heart.

But his grief lasts for mere seconds because he doesn't have time to worry about Shen Liang. His own fate was still unknown.

Shen Wuheng quickly raised his head.

His gaze landed directly on Bai Zihan.

The person who held the fate of the Shen Clan in his hands. Without hesitation, Shen Wuheng lowered his head.

"Clan Leader Bai!"

His voice was filled with desperation.

"Please show mercy!"

Shen Wuheng clenched his fists.

"We had no choice!"

His voice became increasingly desperate.

He suddenly turned and pointed toward the captured Gu Master.

"They possessed terrifying strength!"

Shen Wuheng hurriedly continued.

"Golden Immortals! They could control Golden Immortal refined corpses! How could the Shen Clan possibly resist them?"

His voice trembled.

"They forced us to cooperate. We had no choice but to follow their commands!"

Shen Wuheng looked toward Bai Zihan. His eyes were filled with pleading.

"Clan Leader Bai, please understand! The Shen Clan never wanted to become your enemy!"

"We were forced into this situation!"

Several Shen Clan cultivators immediately nodded.

"That's right!"

"We had no choice!"

"They were too powerful!"

"If we had refused them, they would have killed us!"

Shen Wuheng quickly seized the opportunity.

"We were simply trying to survive. We were controlled by forces far stronger than ourselves."

"Please, Clan Leader Bai! Be magnanimous!"

His voice echoed throughout the battlefield.

"We have already paid a terrible price!"

Shen Wuheng raised his head slightly.

His eyes swept across the ruined Shen Clan.

More than eighty percent of the Shen Clan had already been destroyed.

"More than eighty percent of our clan is already gone!"

Shen Wuheng's voice became hoarse.

"Please… Spare the remaining members."

"We are willing to submit. We are willing to serve the Bai Clan. We only ask that you spare those who remain."

The surviving Shen Clan cultivators immediately lowered their heads.

"Please spare us, Clan Leader Bai!"

"Please show mercy!"

Their voices echoed throughout the ruined battlefield.

For a moment, Bai Zihan said nothing.

He merely looked at Shen Wuheng.

Then Bai Zihan slowly smiled.

Shen Wuheng's eyes brightened slightly.

However, the next words immediately froze his expression.

"What does that have to do with me?"

Bai Zihan looked at him calmly.

"You claim that you were forced. You claim that you had no choice. So what?"

Shen Wuheng's lips trembled.

"Clan Leader Bai, I—"

Bai Zihan interrupted him.

"The moment the Shen Clan dared to move against the Bai Clan..."

His voice echoed clearly throughout the battlefield.

"...your fate was already decided."

Shen Wuheng's pupils contracted.

"Clan Leader Bai!"

He immediately raised his head.

Panic filled his eyes.

"P-Please!"

Bai Zihan ignored him.

He slowly looked across the remaining Shen Clan cultivators.

Many were still kneeling.

Many were trembling.

Some were desperately looking at him.

Hoping.

Praying.

Begging for mercy.

However, Bai Zihan's expression did not change.

"Everyone."

The Bai Clan experts immediately turned toward him.

Bai Zihan's eyes swept across the Shen Clan.

His voice was calm yet the moment his words fell—

The expressions of every Shen Clan cultivator changed.

"Destroy them!"
