I am using web pack with sass loader like this:

module.exports = {
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /\.scss$/,
        loader: "style!css!sass"
      }
    ]
  }
};

But i see the styles apply to the style tag, where is the generate css file?

By default, the style-loader inlines the compiled css into your bundle, which are added to the head of the page with the output file e.g. bundle.js. Using the extract-text-webpack-plugin you can remove the compiled css from the bundle, and export it to a separate file.

First - wrap your loader in the plugin:

 loaders: [{
  test: /\.scss$/,
  loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract(
    "style",
    "css!sass")
 }]
},

Then tell the plugin what to call the file it generates:

plugins: [
    new ExtractTextPlugin("app.css")
 ]

Include this file in your HTML normally.
