Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 706 The Hidden Threat of the Central Continent

The Shen Clan's destruction soon reached its final stage.

Almost every cultivator who had participated in the battle against the Bai Clan was killed.

As long as they had taken up arms against the Bai Clan—

As long as they had chosen to participate in the fight—

They were shown no mercy.

One after another, the remaining Shen Clan cultivators fell.

When the dust finally settled, none of them remained standing.

The battle continued for several more minutes.

Then—

Silence.

The Shen Clan, once one of the most powerful forces in the Desolate Heaven Empire, had completely fallen.

The enormous Shen Clan estate had become nothing more than ruins.

The Shen Clan was finished.

From this day onward, the Shen Clan would become nothing more than a name from the past.

Meanwhile, a groan suddenly echoed from within the ruins.

The Gu Master's eyelids slowly moved.

Then—

His eyes opened.

For a moment, his expression was blank.

His mind had not yet fully recovered.

Then the memories came rushing back.

Pain.

Terrifying pain.

The kind of pain that had made him wish for death.

The Gu Master's body immediately trembled.

His eyes widened.

He instinctively tried to move.

However, the moment he did, he discovered that his cultivation had been sealed.

His expression instantly changed.

He quickly looked around.

"This place..."

His pupils contracted.

He recognized it.

The Shen Clan!

But...

Everything had changed.

The magnificent buildings were gone.

The halls had collapsed.

The ground was covered in enormous craters.

Everywhere he looked, there was nothing but destruction and death.

The Gu Master's heart sank.

Then he suddenly thought of someone.

His senior brother.

And the refined corpse army.

"No..."

The Gu Master's face turned pale.

His senior brother was powerful.

He controlled several terrifying refined corpses.

Golden Immortal refined corpses.

Earth Immortal refined corpses.

Such a force should have been more than enough to deal with the Bai Clan.

There was no way—

He refused to believe it.

He refused to believe that his senior brother and the refined corpse army could have lost to the Bai Clan.

Then—

"Oh, you're awake!"

The Gu Master's body froze.

A familiar voice entered his ears.

He slowly turned his head.

Bai Zihan was standing not far away.

A grin had already appeared on his face.

The moment the Gu Master saw him, his heart trembled.

Bai Zihan slowly walked toward him.

"Then..."

He stopped in front of the Gu Master.

"Are you ready to tell me what you know?"

The Gu Master's lips trembled.

His eyes instinctively swept across the ruined surroundings once more.

The Shen Clan was gone.

And judging from Bai Zihan's expression, his senior brother's plan had also failed.

The realization caused his heart to sink completely.

There was no one left to rely on.

No one was coming to save him.

And worse, he remembered exactly what Bai Ren had done to him before.

The pain!

The desperate feeling of wanting everything to end.

The Gu Master's face immediately turned pale.

"No!"

He hurriedly shook his head.

"I-I'll talk!"

Bai Zihan raised an eyebrow.

The Gu Master swallowed hard.

"I'll tell you everything I know!"

His voice trembled.

"Just... don't do that again."

Bai Zihan's grin widened.

"Good!"

The Gu Master lowered his head.

At that moment, he had completely given up any thought of resistance.

Meanwhile, Bai Zihan's expression gradually became thoughtful.

He had already learned one thing about the cultivation world.

When you defeated one enemy—

Another, more powerful one might appear.

Bai Zihan had already ruined the plans of this so-called Lord.

There was no way that the other party would simply let the matter end here.

Sooner or later, they would send someone else.

Perhaps they would send someone more powerful.

Or perhaps the Lord himself might eventually come.

If that happened, Bai Zihan needed to be prepared.

And the best way to prepare was simple.

Know your enemy.

Bai Zihan looked at the Gu Master.

"Tell me about your organization and where it is."

The Gu Master hesitated briefly.

However, when he saw Bai Zihan's expression, he immediately answered.

"We are from the Central Continent and we are all Gu Masters. However, we do not have a fixed headquarters."

"We are scattered throughout the Central Continent. Most of us remain hidden."

Bai Zihan's eyes flickered.

Hidden?

He did not even need to ask why.

The moment he heard those words, Bai Zihan instinctively thought of Feilian's previous reaction.

The Gu Masters were most likely being hunted even today.

And considering the sinister methods they used—

Refining living cultivators into corpses.

Using Gu insects and blood techniques.

It was not difficult to understand why.

"Why were you here?"

The Gu Master's body stiffened.

"Do you want to experience that pain again?"

The Gu Master's face instantly turned pale.

"No!"

He immediately shook his head.

"I'll answer!"

The Gu Master took a deep breath.

Then he slowly lowered his head.

"Our mission..."

His voice became quieter.

"Was to bring the Heavenly Physique back to the Lord."

Bai Zihan's expression changed slightly.

"The Heavenly Physique?"

Bai Zihan's eyes narrowed.

He immediately understood who the Gu Master was referring to.

Bai Xueqing and Jin Yuelin.

One possessed the Heavenly Ice Body, while the other possessed the Heavenly Poison Body.

No wonder they had kidnapped Bai Xueqing and demanded Jin Yuelin.

They wanted both.

The Gu Master nodded.

"Yes! The Lord told us that the Desolate Heaven Empire has Heavenly Physique and that the Bai Clan has two of them."

"How did The Lord know?"

Bai Zihan asked.

"I-I don't know."

Bai Zihan didn't expect the boss to explain that to their servant.

"Why?"

The Gu Master shook his head.

"I don't know."

Bai Zihan frowned.

The Gu Master quickly continued.

"I am telling the truth. The Lord personally gave us the order."

"Our task was only to bring the Heavenly Physiques back alive. As for what the Lord wants with them..."

His voice became hesitant.

"I don't know."

Bai Zihan stared at him silently.

The Gu Master immediately lowered his head.

"I truly don't know."

Looking at him, Bai Zihan could tell that the Gu Master did not appear to be lying.

Bai Zihan's gaze became colder.

"Then tell me."

His eyes narrowed.

"Who exactly is this Lord?"

The Gu Master's body stiffened.

A trace of hesitation appeared on his face.

"I-I don't know..."

Bai Zihan's expression changed.

"I don't know everything, but I will tell you everything I know!"

Bai Zihan looked at him silently.

The Gu Master swallowed hard.

"The Lord..."

His voice became cautious.

"He is the leader of our organization. The leader of all the Gu Masters to be exact."

The Gu Master's expression became complicated.

"None of us know exactly how powerful the Lord truly is or who exactly he is."

His voice lowered.

"But..."

A trace of fear appeared in his eyes.

"I once saw him casually kill a Supreme Immortal."

Bai Zihan's expression changed.

To be able to kill a Supreme Immortal—and to be a Gu Master himself—one could only imagine just how powerful he must be.

The Gu Master continued.

"The Supreme Immortal tried to resist, but the Lord killed him effortlessly. And afterward..."

His body trembled slightly.

"He refined the Supreme Immortal's corpse."

If the Lord truly possessed the ability to kill Supreme Immortals and refine their corpses, then the situation was far more dangerous than Bai Zihan had initially imagined.

Bai Zihan could not help but picture it.

A single Supreme Immortal refined corpse was already terrifying.

What if there were several?

Or even an entire army?

If the Lord truly possessed such a force, how could the Bai Clan possibly resist?

Forget the Bai Clan.

Even if the entire Eastern Continent united—

Perhaps even the entire Central Glorious Continent united—

They would still be doomed against such an enemy.

Bai Zihan slowly narrowed his eyes.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he gradually calmed down.

The Lord was undoubtedly powerful.

But—

Why was he hiding?

If he truly possessed absolute strength, there would be no reason for him to remain hidden within the Central Glorious Continent.

Perhaps the Central Glorious Continent possessed powerful cultivators who could kill him.

If the Lord openly revealed himself and began refining powerful cultivators into corpses, those supreme experts would not simply stand by and watch.

They would hunt him down.

That was likely the reason the Gu Masters remained hidden.

The Lord was powerful. But he was not invincible.

At least—

Not yet.

Bai Zihan's gaze flickered.

The real problem was the Heavenly Physiques he wanted to obtain.

Once the Lord obtained them, everything could change.

A single Heavenly Physique was already enough to produce a genius capable of standing at the peak of the cultivation world.

And the Lord was searching for more than one.

Bai Xueqing.

Jin Yuelin.

Perhaps there were others.

What exactly was he planning to do with them?

Bai Zihan did not know.

But one thing was certain.

If the Lord truly succeeded in obtaining several Heavenly Physiques, the strength he gained afterward could be unimaginable.

Perhaps he could reach the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Or perhaps even surpass it!
