Chapter 13: Southern beast wave

“Anti, why are there two unknowns?”

On the system screen in front of him, there were two unknown items.

“One is the unknown cultivation, and the other is the unknown innate talent.”

“Is that so? Unknown cultivation? Why? Is it because I haven’t met him yet? Alright, then this unknown innate talent should be referring to his golden finger, right?”

“Master can interpret it that way.”

“What a pity, another protagonist popped up even before I could get rid of the previous one. But this guy seems to be much easier to deal with, right?” Murong Lin quickly snapped back into reality, looking towards Lu Chi with a smile.

After nightfall, the group decided to rest in a small town.

Murong Lin sat at the tableside, practising his calligraphy as a shadow flickered within his room.

A man wearing red clothes appeared, the blood paladin from the Blood Spirits.

And this was a different paladin from the last two.

With a long scar running down his face, he gave off a vicious, dangerous feeling.

And he was also the fiercest blood paladin under Murong Lin.

Blood paladin Marauder.

“I greet the master.” The blood paladin knelt on the floor, presenting a notebook with his outstretched arms.

“You may rise. What is this?” Receiving the notebook, Murong Lin started to flip through the pages.

“These are the individuals we found to fit your descriptions.”

“Oh?” Hearing his words, Murong Lin started to read the book more carefully, taking his time as he turned the pages.

The Marauder simply stood at the side as he waited, not making a single sound.

As he read, Murong Lin identified quite a bit of people that had the qualities of a protagonist, but it was a pity that none of them were actual protagonists.

He knew that because the system didn’t react at all.

That meant that there weren’t any new protagonists recorded in this notebook.

But it did have Long Chen’s detailed information.

“Continue investigating this guy, Long Chen. Be detailed about where he has been, what he’s been doing, and who he has interacted with.”

“Yes!” The Marauder nodded.

“Right, there will be a woman using the Blood Spirits to murder people and cultivate. Cooperate with her fully and ensure that she will reach the Origin realm at least, got it?”

“Yes! If I may ask, does she know about the master’s identity?”

“Yes, there’s no need to hide anything from her. Mobilise the full power of the Blood Spirits to assist her. Aside from that, prevent your subordinates from coming into contact with Sheng Yi, do not speak to him, and do not get caught by him.”

“Yes!” The Marauder simply agreed to do as he was ordered, without the slightest hint of curiosity towards the reasons behind his master’s commands.

“En. I’ll be in the South Village city for a period of time, be careful and don’t get caught, now leave.”

“Yes.”

And the room regained its silence. Murong resumed practising his calligraphy, resembling a refined gentleman.

In the following days, the group travelled peacefully, only getting interrupted once by a group of ignorant bandits that were promptly taken care of by the disciples of the Purple Goose sect.

Looking at the scenery outside of his window, Murong Lin spoke in a low voice, “Ning Wei Wu is suspicious. South Village is clearly the city under the most stress, but here he is, chasing out the forces that came to help him to the cities where the beast wave wouldn’t hit as strong. He isn’t the kind to worry about us getting hurt, and the only explanation is that he’s hiding something in this city.”

“Do you mean that he’s trying to get rid of us?”

“That’s right. My Blood Poison Insect is telling me that this city was drenched in not only the blood of tens of thousands of demonic beasts, but there are substantial human blood and vengeful spirits mixed in as well.”

Releasing the curtains, Murong Lin calmly fanned himself.

“Interesting, there’s truly something wrong with this country. Hahaha, it’s no wonder that there are so many rising protagonists here.”

The carriage moved slowly towards its destination.

Arriving at the city, the garrison was naturally polite towards him. With the strength of Murong Lin’s subordinates, they were comforted by the fact that they could help lessen their burden.

In reality, Murong Lin had instructed the ‘Flowering Steel Trees’ and the ‘Eight Great Butcher Kings’ to conceal their aura to the first layer of the Manifestation realm, giving him more cards for his plans.

Even so, there were still plenty of curious people that had started their secret investigation into their identities.

It was a pity that their efforts would be futile.

After all, they were the products of the system.

Murong Lin sat within a room, cultivating as his spiritual power encircled his body. He had not only recently fortified his cultivation, but he had also mastered 《Lifelessness Law》as well as familiarised himself with 《Bloody River God Sword》and 《Bloody River God Finger》.

“Anti, open the system window.”

“What a pity, I still need to kill a protagonist to obtain a mortal form and reach the Manifestation realm. I hope that this beast wave will be fruitful.”

Closing the system window, Murong Lin sat with his legs crossed and started cultivating.

Suddenly, the voice of the ‘Flowering Steel Trees’ rang out from beyond the door, “Master, the Xue clan is here.”

“Who is their leader?”

“Xue Ling Na.”

Translator’s note

Hi, I will probably be moving my novel to a different website soon.

Unfortunately, with a rat shamelessly stealing my translations, I can’t provide my translations on my ad-free, unprotected website as I initially intended, and I will be moving to a website where the contents will be protected from copy-pasting.

More updates will come regarding the situation as I am keeping in contact with Webnovel, but chapters might not come out every day as usual until the situation has been resolved. In the meantime, please consider helping me to report this guy’s “novel” on Webnovel, or maybe donate to support my translations.

I didn’t expect this to happen, and I never thought that the novel translation community had degenerates like this. I guess it’s been a long time since I came back to translating, but holy shit is it bad. No wonder there are so many MTLers and so few human translators these days.
