Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!

Chapter 503 The Moment of Exposure ”That Chong Sheng calls himself a cultivator, yet he only dares to slaughter the weak. If he had even a shred of backbone, he would face real experts instead of hiding behind formations like a rat...” ”A Demonic Cultivator who massacres women and children is no different from a coward barking in the dark. When real danger appears, such insects run faster than stray dogs.” ”Even demonic cultivators usually have some twisted pride. But this Chong Sheng? No honor, no dignity, no courage. Just a filthy creature crawling in the shadows.”

Bai Zihan spoke with obvious anger.

To the surrounding Imperial Guards and officials, it seemed perfectly natural.

After all, they had heard many stories about Bai Zihan.

Stories of how he hunted down Demonic Cultivators.

Stories of how he slaughtered them without mercy. Seeing his reaction now-

Many simply thought that Bai Zihan was too righteous.

Too disgusted by the cruelty of Demonic Cultivators.

Even though this was not his empire, he still showed such anger toward the massacre of innocent people.

To them, it was admirable.

But to Chong Sheng?

Every single word felt like a personal attack.

Once-

He could ignore it.

Twice-

He could tolerate it.

But Bai Zihan continued.

And continued.

And continued.

The insults showed no sign of stopping. He attacked everything, starting from Chong Shengʼs character to his appearance.

He didnʼt even spare talking about Chong Shengʼs previous and next life as if he knew everything.

Each sentence sounded more insulting than the last.

Chong Shengʼs fists slowly clenched.

His veins slightly bulged.

His patience was reaching its limit.

Finally- ”Stop it!”

The sudden shout shocked everyone present.

The surrounding guards immediately turned toward the source of the voice.

Their eyes landed on the Imperial Guard who had spoken.

For a moment-

The area became completely silent.

The guards were confused.

First of all, they didnʼt understand why this guard would suddenly say something like that.

Secondly-

He dared to interrupt Young Master Bai?

Wasnʼt he afraid of being beaten to death?

Chong Sheng himself also realized that his tongue had slipped.

His heart sank slightly. (Damn it...)

In his moment of anger, he had lost control.

Who could have thought that he, a former Supreme Immortal, would lose his cool just because of words?

But he didnʼt fully blame it on himself. (This Bai Zihan is too much!)

The situation instantly became tense.

Mingzhuʼs sharp eyes immediately locked onto him.

Her expression turned cold. ”State your name and station!”

Her voice was stern and commanding.

Chong Sheng froze for a moment.

He wasnʼt actually a soldier.

If he said something, he might easily expose himself.

For a moment-

He didnʼt know what to say.

But to his surprise-

Bai Zihan suddenly spoke. ”There is no need to be angry, Commander Mingzhu.”

His calm voice instantly eased the tension.

Mingzhu slightly frowned but stepped back respectfully. Since Bai Zihan spoke, there was no need for her to pursue the matter.

But of course, she kept his face in mind and was going to give a stern lecture later. (Hmph! How have our soldiers become so undisciplined?)

She thought angrily.

It was good that Bai Zihan didnʼt seem to mind, but if he did and it led to their relationship being ruined, then this guard would deserve punishment worse than death.

Bai Zihanʼs gaze then slowly shifted toward the guard.

Toward Chong Sheng. ”Why?”

Bai Zihan asked casually. ”You donʼt agree with me?”

Chong Sheng felt a strange pressure under that gaze.

Of course he didnʼt agree.

But he couldnʼt openly defend himself either.

That would be suicidal. ”Itʼs okay. No need to be nervous.”

Bai Zihan said calmly.

His tone sounded almost understanding.

Chong Sheng didnʼt know what to say but decided to say what he wanted. ”He... might have had a reason for doing what he did.”

His words immediately attracted everyoneʼs attention.

Some guards frowned. Some looked confused.

Others looked slightly displeased.

After all-

Trying to justify the massacre of an entire clan was not exactly a popular opinion.

Bai Zihanʼs eyes narrowed slightly.

Then he asked calmly. ”Well... and what might that reason be, Chong Sheng?”

Chong Shengʼs eyes widened as he stared at Bai Zihan. (He knows!)

There was no doubt in his mind.

Otherwise-

Why would Bai Zihan stop right in front of him and start insulting Chong Sheng so relentlessly?

It wasnʼt a random coincidence.

It was a deliberate act.

Bai Zihan had been provoking him from the very beginning.

Some of the surrounding guards also heard the name clearly.

A few thought they had misheard.

Others looked at the guard standing among them with shock.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

Empress Sun Yaoqing quickly stepped forward.

Her brows slightly furrowed. ”Young Master Bai... what did you say?” ”He is Chong Sheng?”

Her gaze landed on the guard standing before them.

The man looked completely ordinary.

A middle-aged face.

Average build.

Nothing about him stood out.

More importantly-

There was no trace of demonic qi coming from him.

Yet she did not think Bai Zihan would joke about something like this.

Not in a situation like this.

Not about something so serious.

Bai Zihan simply looked at the disguised guard calmly. ”Well?” ”Why donʼt you tell us the reason why you massacred the Quan Clan... Chong

Sheng?”

His voice was calm.

But those words felt like thunder exploding in everyoneʼs ears.

Chong Shengʼs mind raced rapidly.

For a moment he considered lying. Denying everything. Pretending Bai Zihan was mistaken.

But looking at Bai Zihanʼs calm eyes-

He realized something.

Bai Zihan wasnʼt guessing.

He was certain.

If Bai Zihan had already discovered him somehow, then lying would only make him look foolish.

His lies could easily be caught.

There was no point in doing something so pointless.

After a brief silence-

Chong Sheng slowly exhaled.

Then he looked directly at Bai Zihan. ”How?” ”How did you find out?”

His voice was calm, but the question carried genuine confusion.

He didnʼt think that he had given himself away just because he interrupted Bai

Zihan. From how Bai Zihan had already stopped before him and started insulting him earlier, it was certain that by then he had already figured out his identity. Chong Sheng believed that with his current disguise, even Immortal Realm cultivators wouldnʼt be able to find him.

So how could a greenhorn like Bai Zihan discover him?

The moment those words left his mouth-

The entire place exploded into shock.

The surrounding guardsʼ eyes widened.

Some of them even subconsciously stepped backward.

He admitted it.

There was no longer any doubt.

The man standing among them-

The man who had been disguised as one of the Imperial Guards-

Was the infamous Demonic Cultivator.

Chong Sheng! ”You are Chong Sheng!”

Mingzhuʼs eyes sharpened instantly. In a single step, she moved in front of

Empress Sun Yaoqing, positioning herself defensively.

Her hand rested on the hilt of her weapon.

The surrounding Imperial Guards also reacted immediately, forming a loose circle around the disguised man.

Yet the man at the center did not seem nervous at all.

Instead-

He suddenly laughed. ”Hehe...”

Then his lips curled into a wide grin. ”Yes! I am the one and only-Chong Sheng!”

The moment he finished speaking, the disguise covering his face began to distort.

The average middle-aged appearance melted away like an illusion shattering.

His true face gradually revealed itself.

At the same time-

A terrifying aura erupted from his body.

Dark demonic qi surged outward like a violent storm.

Boom!

The pressure instantly filled the entire ruined estate.

Many of the Imperial Guardsʼ expressions changed drastically. Several of the weaker cultivators staggered backward. Others felt their breathing grow heavy as the oppressive aura pressed down on them.

Only those at the Spirit Severing Realm or above remained unaffected. Empress Sun Yaoqing stood calmly under the pressure, her expression cold but composed. Mingzhu also remained steady, though her eyes grew extremely serious. Meanwhile-

Angry shouts immediately erupted from the surrounding guards. ”You dare pretend to be one of us?! Demonic scum!” ”You will pay for the blood you spilled!” ”How dare you infiltrate the Imperial Guards!”

Curses and threats flew from all directions.

But Chong Sheng ignored every single one of them.

Their anger meant nothing to him. Their threats meant even less.

His gaze was fixed on only one person.

Bai Zihan!

The young man still stood calmly among the crowd as if the suffocating demonic aura didnʼt exist.

That calm expression irritated Chong Sheng even more.

His eyes narrowed slightly. ”Now then... Can you tell me how you found me?”

His tone carried a faint chill. ”I guarantee that if you do, Iʼll kill you painlessly.”

After being insulted so relentlessly, there was no way Chong Sheng would allow

Bai Zihan to leave alive.

That would be an insult to his dignity.

The dignity of a former Supreme Immortal.

Although he had heard rumors about Bai Zihanʼs strength, Chong Sheng did not take them too seriously. From his perspective-

Bai Zihan was still an inexperienced youngster.

Perhaps talented.

Perhaps even monstrous by normal standards.

But compared to someone like him who once stood at the peak of the Immortal

World?

There was no comparison.

If he truly wanted to-

He believed he could kill Bai Zihan easily.
