Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! - Chapter 502 Hidden In Plain Sight
Chapter 502 Hidden In Plain Sight
Without hesitating any further, Bai Zihan purchased the function.
The notification within his mind changed instantly.
[Heaven Chosen’s Tracker Purchased]
A faint ripple passed through his consciousness as a new function integrated itself into the system.
Bai Zihan immediately activated it.
Then the System showed a map on the screen, with a red dot labeled Chong Sheng.
Bai Zihan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Chong Sheng was nearby.
Very close!
Much closer than he had thought.
His gaze slowly shifted toward the indicated direction.
There, a group of Imperial Guards were stationed around the perimeter of the ruined Quan Clan estate.
Some were patrolling.
Some were examining the surroundings.
Others were carefully searching for any suspicious traces that might have been left behind.
At first glance-
Everything looked perfectly normal.
Yet the system’s indication was pointing directly toward that group.
A faint smile appeared on Bai Zihan’s lips.
(Hehe… Looks like he is disguised as one of the guards.)
Bai Zihan immediately understood what was happening.
Chong Sheng was employing one of the oldest tricks in existence.
Hiding in plain sight.
Instead of fleeing far away after destroying the Quan Clan, he had remained here.
Blending into the group of guards investigating the scene.
As for why he would do such a thing-
Bai Zihan could easily think of two reasons.
The first possibility was simple.
Many killers liked to return to the scene of their crime.
To watch the aftermath.
To see the chaos they had created.
To relish the destruction with their own eyes.
The second reason was more practical.
Chong Sheng might be checking the scene carefully to make sure no evidence or traces of his actions remained behind.
After all-
As a former Supreme Immortal, he would naturally be cautious.
However, both possibilities pointed toward the same thing.
Confidence!
Chong Sheng was confident that no one could discover his identity.
Confident that even if he stood right here among the Imperial Guards, no one
would suspect him.
Unfortunately for him-
Bai Zihan possessed the system.
And with the Heaven Chosen’s Tracker, hiding was meaningless.
Bai Zihan’s lips curved slightly.
(Shall we play along?)
Instead of immediately exposing him, Bai Zihan began walking slowly across the ruined estate.
Princess Sun Yaoqing and Mingzhu followed closely behind.
His movements appeared casual.
As if he was simply examining the destruction like everyone else.
Step by step-
Bai Zihan gradually approached the group of Imperial Guards.
The guards themselves immediately noticed his approach.
Their expressions stiffened slightly.
After all, the young man walking toward them was someone whose reputation
had already spread across empires.
One by one, they respectfully bowed their heads.
“Greetings, Young Master Bai!”
Yet Bai Zihan barely paid attention to them.
His calm gaze slowly swept across the group.
His gaze stayed on Chong Sheng for a second longer than the others.
(Did he discover me?)
Chong Sheng nervously thought but breathed in relief when Bai Zihan walked
past him.
False alarm!
He thought.
Right now, he was expertly controlling his Qi, so there was no way for anyone
to think he was a Demonic Cultivator.
Moreover, he had changed his face to that of a middle-aged man with an
average appearance that wouldn’t attract any attention.
There was no way that anyone could find him here.
He had been a bit nervous when he discovered that Bai Zihan had come to
investigate what he had done.
He didn’t know what kind of ill-fated relationship he had with Bai Zihan.
Whenever he made a scene, Bai Zihan somehow appeared.
But well, he didn’t think much about it.
He didn’t even know that Bai Zihan was the one who had subtly exposed him as
a Demonic Cultivator.
Otherwise, he would have gotten revenge on him as well.
But right now, he only thought of Bai Zihan as a dangerous and very talented
individual.
He too had heard about Bai Zihan’s feats whenever he stayed in towns or cities.
From his perspective as well, Bai Zihan’s growth was terrifying.
He even suspected that Bai Zihan might be like him-someone who possessed
another body.
But it was most unlikely.
What had happened to him was unbelievable, and he refused to believe there could be more than two such incidents in the same period of time.
Anyways, while he, with his current strength, wasn’t scared of Bai Zihan, he definitely knew to be cautious around him.
Then Empress Sun Yaoqing came into his view.
At first, he contemplated whether he should kill her or not.
Killing her would throw the Empire into chaos, exactly the kind of scene that
he loved.
But on second thought-
Or perhaps after seeing her face-
He hesitated.
He didn’t know why, but it felt like rather than killing her, he should help her.
(Hmmm… I am a pretty nice guy!)
He thought to himself after refraining from killing the Empress.
Anyways, Bai Zihan, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned around and
walked back.
Then he stopped just before Chong Sheng.
Chong Sheng’s eyes widened.
(Did I get exposed?)
He refused to believe that.
Bai Zihan hadn’t noticed anything wrong the first time, and it was impossible to
do so now as well.
“Chong Sheng!”
Bai Zihan called out.
Chong Sheng was startled and immediately became cautious, ready to take out
his weapon and fight.
But Bai Zihan’s next words left him speechless.
“That M*therF*cker! How cruel can he be?”
Bai Zihan shouted.
“He didn’t even spare children and women. Is there no morality just because he
is a Demonic Cultivator?”
Bai Zihan said.
To many others, Bai Zihan’s words were normal and even expected of a
righteous man.
Even though Princess Sun Yaoqing found it slightly unexpected, she didn’t think
much about it.
No matter how high his status was, Bai Zihan was still human in the end, and it
was natural to be angry at such an outrageous scene.
“That coward, only going after weak people and running away with his tail
between his legs. If I see him, I swear I won’t let him see the next day
peacefully”
Bai Zihan said.
Chong Sheng, who was listening at point-blank range, couldn’t help but
become angry when he heard such words.
Of course he was cruel.
But he had no morals?
He was a coward who only knew how to run away?
Those words angered him greatly.
Of course, morality was different for everyone, but Bai Zihan was acting as if he
had exterminated the Quan Clan without any reason.
Escaped?
He didn’t escape or run away.
But it was only the start of Bai Zihan’s performance. His barrage of insults had
only just begun.
“That ugly Chong Sheng, whose previous life must have been cowardly and ugly
as well, and whose next life will also be the same. Such an insect whose only reason for living is to die…”
