Here’s the breakdown of recent events.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s Heaven-grade Dao Resonance Mirror result was still dominating all sect discussions. His rise had turned him into the sect’s new golden boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan’s own reputation had also surged. Once dismissed as a waste, many were now reevaluating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some still clung to the idea that he was just a better schemer than cultivator—but respect for him had undeniably grown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Kong Zhanhong had his own take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my humble opinion, Young Master’s brilliance surpasses even the empire’s Prime Minister! Your strategies are divine. The greatest mind in the world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Zhanghong didn’t miss any chance to shower Bai Zihan with compliments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came the matter of Shen Liang. He’d been punished and sent to a reflection cave—but word was, he’d be out soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were already whispers that he planned to leave the Heaven Sword Sect entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan’s eyes narrowed at that last part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the Shen Clan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Fang Jinyan stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re keeping their official stance. No public retaliation. But I’ve heard whispers—Shen Liang’s uncle, Elder Shen, has been meeting privately with Elder He and a few others from the Anti-Sect Leader Faction. They haven’t made any moves yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zihan tapped the rim of his cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So they’re not stupid enough to act openly... yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which only meant they were definitely scheming something behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way they wouldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shen Clan could either swallow their pride or retaliate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But retaliation would spell their doom—and Bai Zihan didn’t think they were that dumb, even if Shen Liang was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might try to rally allies. The Li Clan, the Zhao Clan, perhaps even neutral forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Anti-Sect Leader Faction? After losing face and one of their own elders, they were weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they couldn’t recover from that loss, their ambitions were dead in the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their only shot was to rope in someone powerful from the neutral side... or find a way to make the Sect Leader’s faction lose someone of equal weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, they had to act soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they would just get crushed by the Sect Leader’s Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>",1208,"2026-05-28T18:17:14.491Z","2026-06-01T04:28:34.960Z",1,"novelbin.me","3207947672984b1111dd72ed9b01985c9ab6d5142805b82a3a4598585695e2d6","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-93","turns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-chapter-91",580,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fturns-out-i-m-in-a-villain-clan-cover.jpg"]
