Chapter 46: The massacre of a hundred thousand people

Bai Lao Bo’s expression faltered, “A spy from a hostile nation, a female servant that served at Tang Tian Hao’s side. The Murong clan wanted to wed a woman from the Murong clan to Tang Tian Hao, but he refused, and then his relationship with that woman was exposed eventually.

The imperial court sent their men to surround the Tang residence, forcing that woman to take her own life after giving birth to her child. On that day, Tang Tian Hao couldn’t do anything as he was physically restrained by our men.”

“I see.” Murong Lin mumbled.

“So that means that Tang Can is Tang Tian Hao’s son? I caused Tang Tian Hao’s death, so that means that I’ve become the killer of Tang Can’s father!” Murong Lin was dumbfounded.

No wonder the system had given him 100 villain value!

My god!

I actually killed the father of a protagonist!

“Your highness, is something wrong?” Bai Lao Bo asked from the side.

He asked with concern after watching the volatile changes in Murong Lin’s expression.

“Nothing, you may leave first.”

Bowing deeply, Bai Lao Bo was just about to excuse himself before Murong Lin waved his arm, “Wait a moment, go and place some firecrackers outside.”

Bai Lao Bo was stunned, “Firecrackers?”

“Yes.” Murong Lin nodded as he crossed his legs and leaned on his chair.

“Why?” Bai Lao Bo couldn’t understand.

“Because something good happened today.” Murong Lin grinned.

Suddenly, a chill went up Bai Lao Bo’s spine as he shivered and quickly left.

And currently, within the valley thousands of kilometres away.

Corpses were strewn everywhere and the endless amounts of blood had formed a river.

The expressions on each and every corpse were vicious as they lay within bloody puddles, their vacant eyes still filled with greed and resentment.

There were even more exhausted and wounded people laying on the floor, and once the effects of the ‘Blood Devil’s Sky Tango Frangrance’ had passed, their minds became clearer. However, it was instantly overwhelmed by the pain that they had previously suppressed and ignored, killing yet another great wave of people.

Pained groans resounded through the entire valley.

Suddenly, yet another group entered the fray.

They wore red coloured robes and similarly red-coloured masks.

They stowed every single corpse they saw into their bags of holding, killing every living person they met.

But they only took the bodies and left their heads.

Looking down at the entire valley, one would see the countless heads decorated every inch of the ground.

The cultivators were completely exhausted after the previous battle, left without any ability to resist the intruders.

A strong-looking young man stared at the red silhouette inching closer to himself and mumbled, “Blood Spirits?”

“Father......” With a low voice, he tried to speak as his hands grabbed the earth beneath him tightly, blood on the verge of seeping out.

Jiang Tian Sheng laid on the ground as he stared towards the sky, trying his best to circulate his spiritual powers to heal his body.

Tang Can looked towards him with watery eyes, finally opening his mouth after a while, “What kind of a man was my father?”

Stunned, Jiang Tian Sheng took a moment to respond as he reminisced, “He was a charming man.”

He then slowly started to narrate Tang Tian Hao’s life.

From the day that he had met Tang Tian Hao, to the meritorious service he had served while following Tang Tian Hao, to when he was appointed as a general, to Tang Can’s birth, then the Tang residence’s annihilation, and lastly to the part where Tang Tian Hao had disappeared from their world with Tang Can.

“Father......” Tang Can slowly mumbled after hearing the entire story.

Tang Can, Tang Can, so that’s where the ‘Can’1in my name came from.

I didn’t know my mother had long perished in the hands of others.

I didn’t know that the sloppy drunkard I knew used to be a great general at the Sky Reaching realm.

I didn’t know that I was never really an ordinary person.

Tang Can wanted to cry, but the tears that flowed from his eyes were cold.

People of the Tang sect couldn’t cry.

His gaze became sharp, strengthened by his resentment.

He wanted to take revenge!

Take revenge for his father!

Take revenge for his mother!

Suddenly, a human figure ran out from the grass at the side, stumbling as it made its way towards the two of them. When they finally arrived, they fell to the ground in exhaustion with a terrified expression.

“Who?” Tang Can’s eyes focused as he instantly grabbed onto a hidden weapon.

That person screamed miserably, “Don’t kill me! I didn’t go insane!”

She screamed as she crawled backwards, horrified like a cat on hot bricks.

Jiang Tian Sheng stared at the insane woman, she seemed familiar.

As one of the three great generals of the imperial court, he was naturally knowledgeable about most of the people in Yan. He spoke breathlessly, “You’re the young lady Lu of the Zong Xiang Gang?”

Hearing that they had recognised her, Lu Hai Miao’s expression relaxed slightly as she stared at the similarly exhausted men before her, and even after heaving for a moment, she was still trembling.

“It’s me, I am Lu Hai Miao.”

1. Can (惨) means tragedy.
