Low clouds drifted slowly, crackling with faint arcs of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground was solid obsidian rock, cracked and scorched in places, as if it had once suffered a massive battle or explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jagged mountains rose in the distance, their peaks twisting unnaturally as if warped by some ancient power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around them, ruined temples and half-buried statues of long-forgotten deities littered the land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive stone slabs, torn banners, shattered weapons—this was clearly a battlefield from some distant era, not just a relic site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint red mist clung to the air. It wasn't thick enough to block vision, but it left a metallic taste on the tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had been teleported to such a strange place, it wasn't exactly unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many sub-worlds like this, created and hidden by peerless experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the Ancient Ruins' owner capable of creating Grade-8 or higher Formations, it was no surprise that he had also forged a subdomain to preserve his inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Jian looked around, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see dozens of figures scattered across the terrain, some still struggling to get their bearings, others already scanning their surroundings for threats—or treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the north, a group of robed disciples from the Heaven Sword Sect regrouped around Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the west, Yu Wenzhao and the disciples of the Heaven Suppression Pavilion were calmly forming a perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the south, the demonic qi in the air had thickened—Mo Tianji's team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bastard was laughing like a maniac, probably thrilled by the chaos and the bloodshed to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were already two dead bodies near him—likely his latest victims, since there was no one here to restrain him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of course, there were also members of the Li and Zhao Clans, glaring as they appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all standing there as if waiting for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe… I can't believe the Bai Clan even sent out trash like you, Bai Zihan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feng mocked. The same Li Feng who had been humiliated by Bai Zihan during the engagement ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, Li Feng obviously still believed it was because he had suppressed his cultivation to match Bai Zihan's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't done that, he was convinced he would've won easily with his superior cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan glanced at him, but didn't get angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he got pissed every time someone insulted him, then after 16 years of ridicule, he'd have died of high blood pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I was wondering who was barking. It's the loser from the Li Clan who got beat up like a dog, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Jian and the others laughed at Bai Zihan's jab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Li Clan was their bitter enemy, and having their genius humiliated was something they'd remember for life—especially since it was their hailed genius who got racked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, Bai Zihan had even gotten a Heaven-Grade Artifact from the Zhao Clan as part of a bet, making a solid dent in their power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"YOU!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feng snapped, unable to hide his rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't forgotten a single moment of that humiliation—the looks, the whispers, the mocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gone from being hailed as a genius to being the laughingstock of his Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when he returned to Sect, other disciples who once feared and revered him had mocked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fear and awe once attached to his name were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father didn't even want to see his face after that disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—now he had a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could gain the inheritance from this Ancient Ruin, he could reverse everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he hadn't expected was Bai Zihan showing up here too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that only made it more exciting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A perfect chance to get revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! You, Bai Zihan, are certainly insidious. I'll admit I fell for your trap,\" Li Feng said, surprisingly honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But this is different. I will have my revenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan didn't respond. He didn't feel the need to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Feng didn't deserve his attention then, and it was even more true now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Zihan, you actually came?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chen stepped forward—the one who had suffered the most from the fallout of the Bai-Zhao-Li clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was his artifact that had been lost in that bet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Heaven-Grade Artifact—gone just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The punishment he had endured wasn't something that needed to be said aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was still a valued figure in the Zhao Clan, and they had high hopes for his future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, there is was an opportunity to get back what is lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. I thought you'd be too much of a coward to come,\" Zhao Chen said, no longer bothering to hide his hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bai Clan—who's your leader?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're looking at him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ming said, clearing indicating at Bai Zihan who was in front of the Bai Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You? Bai Zihan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chen looked like he'd just heard the punchline to a bad joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha… Bai Clan, did you really lose your mind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, choosing a leader meant choosing the one who might become the strongest in the entire empire if they got the inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they'd pick Bai Zihan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called \"arrogant brat\" whose entire reputation was built on scheming and causing trouble?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others from Zhao and Li Clan also laughed along with Zhao Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how spoiled Bai Zihan was, it didn't mean that Bai Tianheng, as the clan leader, should indulge his whim—especially when it could risk losing the Inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Clan members didn't get angry at Zhao Chen's mocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, they felt a bit of pity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Poor bastard still had no idea who he was dealing with.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't about to explain it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the time came, they were really looking forward to seeing the expression on Zhao Chen's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, it's good that you, Bai Zihan, are the leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chen's eyes gleamed with cold arrogance as he stepped forward, flanked by several inner disciples from the Zhao Clan—and a few others clearly allied with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some from the Li Clan, some from minor sects desperate to curry favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to offer you a deal. Simple, really. Hand over the Heaven-Grade Artifact you took during that little farce of a bet. Give it back now, and I'll consider the matter settled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone turned razor-sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No grudges. No retaliation. We'll even let you walk away and promise not to interfere with you inside the Ancient Ruin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few chuckles came from the Zhao and Li Clan participants behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you don't…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Chen's eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then don't blame me for what happens next. The Zhao Clan, the Li Clan—and all our allies—we will act. You think you're strong enough to handle all of us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1133,"2026-05-28T18:17:14.491Z","2026-06-01T04:28:34.960Z",1,"novelbin.me","d38037f727e2da90eb234a611a2ae68b847aef6293f408f36f1658c092510a06","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-126","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-124",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fturns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-cover.jpg"]
