But nothing came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe because Mo Yichen was just a one-star fate-grade Heaven’s Chosen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or maybe Heaven’s Chosen were just those with protagonist-like cheats—lucky, talented, but not truly protected by the heavens themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, killing them didn’t seem to bring any divine punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, of course, the System had a different reaction—flashing notification after notification in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Haha... I’ll check them later!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan thought, barely containing his excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows what kind of heaven-defying rewards he would get for killing a Heaven’s Chosen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t afford to get distracted now.

Bai Zihan couldn’t be in a better mood, especially with the System bombarding him with notifications about rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan’s eyes were already locked on Mei Yunhe, the Mei Clan patriarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Patriarch Mei,\" Bai Zihan’s voice was almost mocking. \"I trust you won’t disappoint me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Yunhe’s face was pale, his lips trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-Young Master Bai... please, say what you want!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already resigned himself to his fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Bai Zihan kill Mo Yichen had shattered any illusions they had about the young master being a pampered waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had fallen into a trap, and now they were caught with no way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their last hope, Mo Yichen, had been crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no point in resisting and making things worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could do was pray that Bai Zihan would show some mercy—though, honestly, that felt like asking for a miracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan’s voice rang out, cold and unyielding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Half!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Yunhe’s face filled with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-Half...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.

I could kill every single one of you instead. Whether you want to do that yourself or need my help, you can decide.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mei Yunhe’s mouth opened and closed, his voice dying in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he expected everyone to be killed or similar fate, so just half of the Mei Clan being crippled didn’t seem that bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even with half of their Clan members being crippled, it was the same as destroying their Mei Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood all too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With half their wealth stripped away and half their cultivators crippled, the Mei Clan was done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might still exist, but only as a shadow of their former selves. No longer the strongest in Meihua City—they would be reduced to a struggling third-rate clan at best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with their current state, their rival clans would likely swoop in like vultures, eager to tear them apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was nothing he could do.\u003C\u002Fp>",1256,"2026-05-28T18:17:14.491Z","2026-06-01T04:28:34.960Z",1,"novelbin.me","2c6838c6610295e49b7d60ada06d35bb5ef7fa5f4708ade06b5a6283bfa7f311","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-105","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-103",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fturns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-cover.jpg"]
