Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 753 The Central Continent Forces Gather
Previously on Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!...
By now, most of the major forces from the Central Glorious Continent had already arrived in the Desolate Heaven Empire.
They had also begun their search for True God's Legacy.
However, the Desolate Heaven Empire was simply too large.
Without knowing the exact location of the True God's Legacy, searching the entire Empire for the True God's Legacy was no different from trying to find a needle in a haystack.
After several days, they indeed found nothing.
Even those with pieces of the map couldn't find anything resembling the place shown on the map.
The harsh reality quickly became apparent.
Searching aimlessly like this wouldn't get them anywhere.
Eventually, the major forces from the Central Glorious Continent decided to gather and discuss what they should do next.
The ones who had sent out the invitation were from the top Clans and Sects of the Central Glorious Continent.
Since all the Top Factions were involved, no one wanted to decline the invitation.
Even if they were in the Eastern Continent, it didn't mean that those Top Factions didn't have any influence.
One force after another began making their way toward the capital of the Desolate Heaven Empire.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Sect was among those heading toward the capital.
Of course, Ma Lingfeng didn't reveal any of this to Bai Zihan.
He simply said that he wanted to go to the capital.
However, the moment Bai Zihan heard that, he knew that it wasn't as simple as Ma Lingfeng wanting to go and check out the capital.
For the past three days, he had been observing Ma Lingfeng carefully.
And Bai Zihan already understood one thing about this fellow.
Ma Lingfeng wasn't the type to do any work himself.
He was lazy and arrogant.
He enjoyed having others do things for him.
He would only take action when there was a benefit waiting for him.
Many people personally go to search and find out any useful information but this fellow simply leaves it to Bai Zihan's hand.
Whether it was trust or he couldn't be bothered with, one thing was sure. He was lazy person who doesn't want to lift his fingers.
Therefore, if Ma Lingfeng suddenly wanted to go to the capital...
Something important must have happened.
Well, Bai Zihan didn't need to guess much because—
At the same time, he had also received information from Kong Zhanhong.
Several other Central Continent forces were gathering in the capital as well.
The two pieces of information immediately connected in his mind.
(Did they find the location of the True God's Legacy?)
Bai Zihan's eyes flickered. But he quickly dismissed the thought.
If someone had really discovered the location of the True God's Legacy—
There was no way they would openly share it.
They would secretly keep the information for themselves and head there themselves.
No one would be foolish enough to tell everyone else which would only increase the competition.
So, if they weren't gathering because someone had discovered the legacy's location…
Then they must have gathered to discuss how to find it.
Therefore, Bai Zihan also planned to go to the capital.
After all, almost all the Central Glorious Continent forces were gathering there.
It would be much more convenient for him to observe them all at once.
And perhaps, the System might detect another Heaven Chosen.
Most importantly, he needed to keep his eyes on Ma Qianxiu at all times.
According to the System, Ma Qianxiu was the key to the True God's Legacy.
As long as he stayed close to him, Bai Zihan wouldn't have to worry about missing the inheritance.
***
In the capital of the Desolate Heaven Empire, the atmosphere was completely different from before.
Ever since the arrival of the Central Glorious Continent forces, countless incidents had occurred throughout the Empire.
Some outsiders had clashed with local cultivators.
Either it was the Central Continent people provoking the locals or vice versa.
But in any case, almost everyone who had gone against these Central Continent cultivators had suffered severe consequences.
A few Clans and Sects had been destroyed, and it wasn't difficult to tell who had done it since these arrogant Central Continent people didn't even try to hide it.
Though not all those who provoked them were destroyed, as a few were forced to serve them and search for the True God's Legacy.
Anyway, everyone in the Desolate Heaven Empire now understood that these outsiders were too powerful, with numerous Golden Immortal Experts among them.
A realm that the people of the Desolate Heaven Empire could barely imagine was now appearing everywhere.
Naturally, no one wanted to provoke them now.
If they could avoid these outsiders, they would avoid them.
If they encountered them on the streets, they would quietly move aside.
If they saw them entering a shop, they would rather wait than risk getting into a dispute.
No one wanted to become the next person to suffer.
As a result, the entire capital seemed to be on edge.
The streets were still bustling.
The shops were still open.
Cultivators still came and went.
But compared to the past, there was an invisible tension hanging over the entire city.
Everyone was being much more careful with their words and actions.
Even some powerful local cultivators had become restrained including the Zhao and Li Clans.
They had already become quite restrained ever since Bai Zihan brought them under his control, but now, with more powerful outsiders coming in, they had to be even more restrained.
Of course, with these outsiders arriving and being so powerful, many members of the Zhao and Li Clan thought of using the outsiders to destroy the Bai Clan.
Well, those who gave the ideas were all those who didn't know why their Clan Leaders had surrendered to Bai Zihan.
They all just believe that it must be because the Bai Clan is powerful. But if they could bring someone who is equal or more powerful than the Bai Clan, their clan leaders would change their mind.
All those people were all arrested and beaten up badly by Zhao Wutian and Li Jianhong.
They personally knew that they could go and scheme against anyone but the Bai Clan.
Their lives practically hung by Bai Zihan's hand.
Anyway, even the once-mighty Li and Zhao Clans had to walk around as if on eggshells, not to mention other people.
The people who had once been confident in the Desolate Heaven Empire now understood that there were countless existences here whom they could not afford to offend.
And this was especially true in the capital.
More and more Central Continent forces were gathering here.
Meanwhile, inside one of the finest restaurants in the capital—
The atmosphere was unusually tense.
This restaurant was one of the largest and most luxurious in the entire capital.
Only influential figures and powerful cultivators could afford to dine here.
Normally, the staff would have been proud to serve such guests.
But today, the waiters and other servants were extremely nervous.
They didn't dare make even the slightest mistake.
After all, among their guests were cultivators from the Central Glorious Continent, as well as powerful figures from various Empires.
They knew very well that offending any of them could bring disaster.
BANG!
"Dammit! There is still no information about Young Master!"
One of them slammed his hand against the table.
"We've checked everywhere and asked everyone we could find. But no one has any idea who the Young Master is!"
"As expected of this remote place. They don't even recognize who the Young Master of the Long Clan is!"
"We've asked so many people, yet not one of them has any useful information."
"Few people I met said that they apparently saw him and showed me the direction, but there is still no sign of Young Master at all."
Indeed, these people were all from the Long Clan, and they were furious because they couldn't find where Long Haotian had gone missing.
After all, this wasn't the Central Continent, where people would notice if someone like Long Haotian was walking around.
Here in the Eastern Region, even if they showed Long Haotian's pictures to people, even those who had seen him wouldn't remember him at all.
Even those who witnessed Bai Zihan beat Long Haotian and take him away had probably forgotten by now.
While the Long Clan members continued complaining—
In another private room of the same restaurant, Bai Zihan was quietly listening.
He was also here. And his presence was no coincidence.
From the moment the Long Clan arrived and revealed their identity, Bai Zihan had instructed Kong Zhanhong to keep a close eye on them.
Kong Zhanhong had immediately arranged for people to monitor their movements.
Not only were they monitoring their movements, but they were also misleading them.
The false information given to the Long Clan all came from people under Kong Zhanhong's command.
All the information they received pointed them away from the Bai Clan and the Heaven Sword Sect.
So, there was no way they could find any real useful information about Long Haotian.
They were just being played around by Kong Zhanhong!
