Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 474 Azure Sun Holy Sect Vs Bai Clan!
Previously on Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!...
"Sect Leader Wen Haoyu, I have informed the Ancestors!"
A mental transmission reached Wen Haoyu, who served as the Sect Leader of the Azure Sun Holy Sect.
"Good!"
The individuals from the Bai Clan that he genuinely dreaded were solely the pair of Grand Elders residing in the Immortal Realm.
Should they join the fray, even their overwhelming numbers might not suffice to ensure safety.
Thus, to restrain them, he relied on their own Ancestors at the Immortal Realm level.
Naturally, given Bai Ren's prowess, Wen Haoyu was well aware they couldn't possibly triumph over them.
Yet, victory wasn't required against them. Simply keeping those two Grand Elders occupied would allow them to overpower the rest.
Having Bai Zihan captive, he believed they could leverage her life to intimidate those two Grand Elders.
The formation's luminous barrier enclosed the heavens.
With every arrangement in place, Wen Haoyu firmly believed that Bai Zihan and her group would meet their end right here today.
"Haha... Bai Zihan, cease this pointless struggle and yield. Escape is impossible for you or any who trespass in my domain. Embrace your destiny!"
Bai Zihan didn't bother looking his way.
"I'd be more concerned about your own people if I were in your shoes," Bai Zihan shot back.
The newly activated formation held no concern for him, appearing designed only to block their retreat.
(Flee? For what reason?)
That thought crossed Bai Zihan's mind upon spotting the Formation.
He'd never planned to escape anyway, rendering all of Wen Haoyu's preventive measures completely futile.
"Boastful nonsense! Eliminate them!"
The Sect Leader bellowed.
Disciples of Azure Sun charged ahead like a surging wave of fiery garments and scorching weapons.
Their numbers surpassed the Bai Clan's by nearly fivefold.
Possibly even greater.
"Surrender now!"
"The Bai Clan faces ruin today, and I'll claim a massive bounty!"
"Foolish dreams! I'll be the one slaying those scum!"
Fiery arts erupted across the yard.
Hundreds of palm imprints plummeted simultaneously, transforming the skies into a fiery downpour.
For a fleeting instant—
It seemed utterly dominant.
But then—
The Bai Clan sprang into action.
No shouts escaped their lips.
Panic evaded them entirely.
Rushing played no part.
They advanced with serene composure.
A single finger lifted by a Bai Clan elder.
The space ahead tore open like delicate fabric.
Oncoming flame lances exploded into mere flickers before nearing his robe.
Another elder flicked his sleeve wide.
A wave of pristine white spiritual qi spread in a flawless ring.
The initial rush of Azure Sun disciples hurtled back, as though hammered by an unseen peak.
Bones snapped audibly.
Blood misted through the air.
Not a single touch had landed on him.
The disparity at the same cultivation level—
Proved utterly terrifying.
An Azure Sun core disciple dashed at a Bai Clan youth, his sword aflame with focused Sun Dao fire.
"Die!"
His sword slashed down.
The Bai youth dodged aside effortlessly.
A gentle palm tapped the disciple's torso.
The Azure Sun disciple's frame crumpled inward like under a siege hammer.
He soared through the yard and crashed into a wall, left inert.
The Bai youth spared him no further look.
Merely under thirty percent of his power had been applied.
In another spot—
Three Azure Sun elders merged their strikes, crafting a three-tiered solar formation during combat.
Chains of golden radiance cascaded down.
A Bai Clan elder remained centered in the array.
He eyed the bindings coiling his arms and legs.
Next—
A mere flex from him splintered the golden links like fragile ice.
Before the trio of elders could respond—
He disappeared from sight.
Three sharp cracks echoed one after another.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The three elders slumped without life, foreheads neatly punctured.
The Bai elder rematerialized in his prior position.
His robes stayed perfectly smooth.
His breath remained steady.
"Pathetic," he whispered.
The tide of battle shifted swiftly.
Azure Sun disciples started sensing the dire turn.
They possessed superior numbers.
They wielded formations.
Home ground favored them.
Yet all proved irrelevant.
Their defenses crumbled.
Even ten against one—
Merely postponed the inevitable by mere moments.
Elders uniting in effort—
Met systematic takedown. The Bai Clan avoided haste.
Excessive qi went unused.
Each motion proved precise.
Every blow optimized.
They preserved their vigor, treating this as simple preparation.
Had they opted for total release—
The yard would lie in devastation after just a few dozen breaths.
However, that approach would sap their reserves for the upcoming clash, extending the duration needlessly.
Furthermore—
"Argh! What's going on? My body's unresponsive!"
"Hey! Get moving! Why block the battle like this?"
"Stop fooling around—aid me!"
Across the fray, numerous Azure Sun Holy Sect cultivators toppled inexplicably.
All were Azure Sun practitioners who had trained in the Heavenly Mandate Assimilation Art!
Bai Zihan subtly disrupted their qi control, turning an already lopsided skirmish into a total rout.
Bai Zihan also attempted applying the same to Wen Haoyu, akin to his handling of Han Sha, yet failed.
Evidently, Wen Haoyu resisted the lure, or perhaps practiced an equally robust cultivation method.
In any case, he eluded Bai Zihan's influence. Bewilderment hung heavy as neither Bai Clan nor Azure Sun grasped the cause of these collapses.
Naturally, the anomaly was brief, and Bai Clan warriors seized the moment to dispatch them ruthlessly.
They ignored the mystery. Crossing Bai Zihan alone justified execution.
The Sect Leader observed from the pavilion's elevated steps.
His complexion had paled completely.
"This... impossible..."
He'd long recognized the Bai Clan's superiority.
Undoubtedly so.
He'd witnessed it firsthand amid the conflict with Demonic Forces.
But this—
Exceeded even his grim estimates.
At matching cultivation stages, his core disciples fell in seconds.
At superior realms, the chasm grew vaster.
The Bai Clan's spiritual qi flowed thicker and more refined.
Their arts struck with greater force.
Qi flowed without waste. Extensions stayed measured.
In combat, they still husbanded power for future foes.
As though not locked in a life-or-death struggle—
But running a routine drill.
Additionally—
His own elders and disciples dropped without cause.
Wen Haoyu's hands quivered concealed behind him.
"How... What trickery is this, Bai Zihan?"
Unaware of the truth, Wen Haoyu instantly pinned it on Bai Zihan.
No chance he stood apart from it. Just a day prior, all functioned fine, now crumbling like gravely wounded.
The Sect Leader reeled back a step. Unthinkable!
Utterly unthinkable.
His eyes scanned the chaos, hunting for any hopeful shift.
Then he spotted the Bai Clan's soft spot—and a potential game-changer.
Bai Zihan!
Yet, he knew ease wouldn't come, with the two Grand Elders still idle.
They'd swiftly block any below Immortal Realm.
At that point—
"Elders! One of you strike at Bai Zihan, the other erase the witnesses!"
Telepathic orders flew to two elders. Wen Haoyu's intent was obvious.
Targeting Bai Zihan would draw all nearby elders and Grand Elders to shield him.
Amid that distraction, they could handle the young ones.
Wen Haoyu figured that destroying those test subjects would strip the Bai Clan of solid proof. Lacking it, even knowledge of their foul secret left them powerless. "Understood!"
Two Void Refinement Realm Elders acknowledged.
Whoosh! They dashed to obey without delay.
Starting with the assault on Bai Zihan.
"Young Master Bai, your end is near!"
He bellowed at full volume.
The initial elder stirred maximum uproar to pull every gaze.
Meanwhile, the second held back a beat, then slipped silently toward the kids.
The children remained oblivious to him, all eyes fixed on the first elder's racket.
"You ought to have remained in hiding," he grumbled while closing in on the unsuspecting children.
A streak of white dashed by.
Bang!
The elder's skull launched skyward.
His form lurched onward a few paces before collapsing.
A Bai Clan Elder had materialized.
Ice chilled his features.
"Hmph! Believe we can't pierce your scheme?"
Behind, the children clustered tighter, grasping the near-miss.
As for the elder aimed at Bai Zihan—
His corpse lay halved already.
