Chapter 45 – Blood Demon’s Sky Tango Fragrance

With watery eyes and gritted teeth, Tang Can shouted in a low voice, “Let’s leave first!”

Jiang Tian Sheng nodded with a dazed expression, and as the Qing Sheng spiritual pill came into effect, his gaze became clear and he immediately picked up Tang Can and ran. As he sprinted, he turned his head back to shout, “General! We’ll wait for you at the entrance of the valley!”

Tang Tian Hao didn’t respond, simply continuing to swing his hammer at the Manifestation transformations before him. However, he was no longer the Vast Sky General of the past.

He was old.

He had old injuries that plagued his body.

And he hadn’t picked up his hammer even once in the past few years.

Even despite his ability to fight with strength at the peak of the Manifestation realm, he couldn’t defeat this sea of people.

He slowly raised the two Dragon God Crystals that he had taken from the hands of a sixth layer Manifestation realm expert into the sky, it was the two crystals that were uncovered here.

The dragon’s aura washed over the area, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Tens of thousands of gazes were fixed upon him as Tang Tian Hao circulated his spiritual power to activate the Dragon God Crystals.

“Go! There are two Dragon God Crystals there! Quick! Let’s go!”

“Hahahaha! There are two more! They’re all mine! Mine!”

“Move! I’ll be the first one! I’m the real Dragon God!”

“Kill him! Kill him! Quick, kill him!”

Humans washed over Tang Tian Hao like waves, gradually swallowing his figure.

The crowd around Jiang Tian SHeng and Tang Can’s vicinity became sparse, giving Jiang Tian Sheng the opportunity to escape from this area.

Every single person was rushing over towards Tang Tian Sheng.

Their exhausted bodies were being pushed to the brink by their insane minds, each and every one of their expression full of viciousness.

They were like demons that had escaped from hell.

Or even ruthless murderers that sinned.

Every single person’s face was drenched with the blood of others and themselves.

After a long time, the completely exhausted Tang Can heard a voice, “Can’er! Take care of yourself!”

He hurriedly turned back.

A beam of light exploded in the midst of the sea of men.

“Chaotic Wind Chopping, exploding-style!”

At that instant, it was as if a small sun had emerged in the crowd.

It was searing, mighty.

Thousands of humans immediately turned into ash as the remaining people were sent flying by the following shockwaves.

Nothing remained at the centre.

Almost a hundred Manifestation realm experts died with this one attack.

“Father!” Tang Can mourned, his nails dug into his bleeding palm unknowingly as his tears flowed.

He felt as though something had struck his heart suddenly, as if someone had squeezed it viciously and shattered it.

His tears flowed endlessly as his heart died.

“No.” His mouth opened ever so slightly, but his throat was powerlessly silent, he could only whimper in despair.

At the same time, Murong Lin was laying on a rocking chair in the capital as the system’s voice resounded in his mind:

“Ding! The protagonist, Tang Can’s ‘Little protagonist halo’ has started to shatter, his protagonist value has dropped by 100.”

“Ding! Congratulations to master for obtaining the villain value of 100, you may use it to purchase items in the system shop.”

What the fuck?

Murong Lin was dumbfounded as he immediately sat up in the rocking chair, his eyes filled with confusion.

Fuck, a present sent from the heavens just by sitting at home.

Murong Lin never expected Tang Can to experience such a large event so suddenly, something that definitely had something to do with himself, or he wouldn’t have gotten any villain value.

But what exactly did he do?

To the extent that Tang Can lost 100 protagonist value in an instant?

As Murong Lin thought, he noticed that the only plan he had set in motion was the one at the valley.

Did that mean that Tang Can had also joined the war consisting of more than a hundred thousand people?

“Anti, what happened? Why did Tang Can’s protagonist value drop like that so suddenly?” Murong Lin mumbled.

“Ding! The death of Tang Can’s only relative, Tang Tian Hao, has been detected to be caused by the master’s plans. That was why Tang Can’s protagonist value dropped.”

“Oh! Tang Tian Hao? His relative? Why is his name so familiar?” Murong Lin leaned back in the rocking chair yet again, speaking leisurely.

The objective of the plan in the valley was very straightforward.

It was to kill.

It was to borrow the strength of others to kill.

Murong Lin had sent the suicide squad of the Blood Spirits to use the Dragon God Crystals to pique the interest of the people.

In actuality, the Dragon God Crystals never existed, they were just rumours.

The ‘Dragon God Crystals’ were crystals made from the ‘Backfire Ash Dragon’s bloodline’ that was extracted from Long Chen’s body through the silver chains. There were a total of ten, he had used nine for this plan and tossed one towards Sheng Yi to frame him yet again.

Of course, the Dragon God Crystals were just an appetiser, and the main course that had pushed them into insanity was the supplement that Murong Lin had bought from the system shop:

‘Blood Demon’s Sky Tango Fragrance’.

This was the great purchase that Murong Lin had spent 5 villain value on.

The ‘Blood Demon’s Sky Tango Fragrance’ wasn’t a spiritual medicine created by humans, but rather, the demonic race. It was something that aided the demonic race in refining bloodlines and raising their cultivations.

For humans, it was nothing more than a drug that stirred their inner demons.

Murder, greed, desire, sadism……

Human sins were incited by the ‘Blood Demon’s Sky Tango Fragrance’, tempting them into brutally massacring each other.

Only Sky Reaching realm experts could barely resist the effects of the lower Sky grade ‘Blood Demon’s Sky Tango Fragrance’, and since there wasn’t a single Sky Reaching realm expert in the people that had gathered in the valley, every single one of them descended into frenzied madness. 

And since the demonic race didn’t exist in the Nan Yue continent, no one could identify its effects.

Even up to their deaths, every single person would believe that they were simply blinded by greed, rather than recognising that their behaviour was unusual.

Of course, Tang Can’s silver needles that could detect poison were completely ineffective, this was because the ‘Blood Demon’s Sky Tango Fragrance’ was considered to be a supplement, but only for the demonic race.

The first five Dragon God Crystals were revealed along with the Zong Xiang Gang’s efforts in spreading the news, so as to draw more people towards the valley until the number of people reached a hundred thousand. Then, the second stage began.

Three of the remaining four Dragon God Crystals were revealed by two of the blood paladins.

At the same time, the two blood paladins ignited the ‘Blood Demon’s Sky Tango Fragrance’ in the valley to stimulate the people within.

It slowly provoked the inner evils of these people’s hearts.

And no one suspected a thing.

After all, the temptation of the Dragon Blood Crystals was far too great.

The third stage, which was his final objective, was the death of more than a hundred thousand people.

The deaths of a hundred thousand people in a frenzied war were bound to send the world into chaos.

And by that point, it would be time for his second plan to begin.

Aside from that, Murong Lin had anticipated some kind of hidden reward for causing the deaths of a hundred thousand thousand people, but it didn’t seem like something like that existed.

“Anti had said it before, master, please do not hold onto your naive imaginations. Only by harming protagonists can you obtain any rewards. Ending a mere hundred thousand lives of ordinary people is useless.”

Rubbing his chin powerlessly, Murong Lin responded, “I’m just being optimistic here, what if I had gotten a great reward?”

Anti didn’t respond.

Murong Lin laid in the chair as he yelled outside, immediately summoning Bai Lao Bo.

“Have you heard of Tang Tian Hao?” He asked.

After a momentary pause, Bai Lao Bo slowly recalled a blurry figure in his mind, “The Vast Sky General?”

Interested, Murong Lin continued asking, “Explain, tell me more about him.”

And then, after organising his thoughts, Bai Lao Bo slowly spoke:

“Ten years ago, Sky Reaching realm experts used to exist in the army, they were the Vast Sky General, Tang Tian Hao. He was of ordinary birth, but with a smooth-sailing career, he skyrocketed in fame and was titled by Yan as the ‘Defender-general of the country’. He commanded three generals under him, the three generals that now serve the imperial court.

But suddenly, Tang Tian Hao and the imperial court clashed due to a woman, a woman that died after giving birth.

Tang Tian Hao then fought with the Murong clan’s ancestors, killing an ancestor of the Sky Reaching realm and gravely injuring the other two. In the fight, he shattered his mortal form and his Manifestation transformation disappeared, greatly reducing his strength.

He then left the capital with that child, and ever since that incident, any news regarding his life completely disappeared.”

Interested, Murong Lin asked, “Who was that woman?”
