A vicious female is trapped in a beastly hell.

Chapter 506 The Secret History of the Vampire Clan (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

Necro remained unusually silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

After a moment's consideration, Shen Tang asked softly, "What exactly happened back then? The vampire clan is so powerful, how could they have suffered... annihilation?"

She racked her brains but couldn't find a possible culprit. The power of the vampires was simply too overwhelming; to exterminate their entire race would probably require... the combined strength of the entire beastman continent!

“Someone wants the power of the vampires.” Necro stirred the crimson pool water, his deep voice carrying a hint of coldness. “More accurately, the blood of the vampires.”

Shen Tang asked in surprise, "Who is it?"

Necro did not rush to answer.

He squinted, gazing at the empty air not far away, as if lost in memories, and slowly said, "The vampires have always lived in seclusion, not relying on any power, and unwilling to be disturbed by the outside world. But what have they gained from thousands of years of peaceful and docile existence? They have been relentlessly hunted down by those people!"

His voice was filled with extreme hatred, and also seemed to be angry at their lack of ambition. "Our ancestors were too naive. Peace is never something that can be begged for. Only by killing all those who covet the power of the vampires and making this land invincible can the vampires usher in true peace and glory!"

"I will finish what my ancestors left unfinished. I will plunge this continent into endless chaos and slaughter among its people!"

Shen Tang was stunned by his increasingly frantic remarks.

For a moment, she forgot to maintain her public image and subconsciously retorted, "That's not how it is. Using killing to stop killing is the most foolish and desperate measure. It can't really solve the problem at all. On the contrary, it will only involve more innocent people..."

Necro turned and stared intently at her, his dark eyes icy. "Oh? Back when the vampires were forced to self-destruct in rebellion, no one said these things to them."

Shen Tang was speechless for a moment, suddenly not knowing what to say. She had never experienced the annihilation of the vampire clan, and saying these words would only sound like making sarcastic remarks.

She looked at the blood beads floating in the air, her voice hoarse, and said with a sudden realization, "I see... You mean, back then, the ancestors of the vampires chose to self-destruct to prevent their opponents from succeeding, turning into these blood beads? But how were they brought here?"

Necro said, "True purebloods are extremely rare. Most vampires are transformed from purebloods by us. Hundreds of years ago, those people captured mostly purebloods, whose strength was far inferior to that of purebloods, resulting in less than ideal experimental results."

"But purebloods are inherently proud and would rather die than become experimental subjects, so they all self-destructed and became these things."

"Some surviving vampires fled their ancestral land with these blood beads, hiding their identities and assimilating into other races. Over the past few hundred years, many members of the clan, fearing further calamities because of their vampire identity, have intermarried with orcs from other races. Now, I am probably the only pure-blooded vampire left in the world."

Necro's deep voice betrayed no emotion, "However, their centuries of dormancy were not in vain. The vampires have never forgotten their desire for revenge for the tragic massacre they suffered years ago. Over the past few centuries, they have secretly amassed their power, and finally, they have launched a counterattack against this continent—"

He looked at Shen Tang meaningfully at this point, "This force is what you call... the rebels."

Seemingly oblivious to the female's slightly pale face, he looked up again at the blood droplets floating in the air, raised his hand in a half-hearted grabbing motion, but grasped nothing. "Under my control, the rebel army has grown stronger day by day, reaching an unprecedented peak. Not only have they successfully reclaimed the old vampire territory, but they have also conquered and occupied even more land. So I took these 'ancestors' back to their roots, back to the former royal palace of the vampires, and made this their burial ground..."

Shen Tang listened quietly as Necro recounted the history of the vampire clan.

It turns out that what the High Priest of the Yiyuan Empire said was true; the vampires were indeed massacred hundreds of years ago and were considered extinct by outsiders.

But there was one thing she didn't understand, which Necro deliberately avoided.

Shen Tang pressed on, "Who exactly plotted against the vampires back then?"

"It is all the greedy and foolish rulers on this continent."

Necro turned to look at her, his voice as cold as an abyss, "And the founding emperor of your Night Glow Empire was one of the murderers!"

Shen Tang was shocked, her face filled with disbelief.

Necro sneered, "Your ancestral emperor was nothing but a despicable and shameless villain! She deceived the vampire ancestors and stole the Earth Core, the treasure that the vampires had guarded for generations!"

"Impossible! Our ancestor was definitely not that kind of person!" Shen Tang almost blurted out in rebuttal.

She had also read the history of the empire. Although the Night Glow Empire had become increasingly corrupt over the past few centuries, the founding emperor was undoubtedly a brave, fearless, and resourceful monarch.

She joined forces with the founding fathers of the Yun and Lu families and other major clans to establish the Night Glow Empire, saving countless displaced people and leaving behind numerous heroic deeds.

Everyone praises her for her wisdom and benevolence, calling her a truly virtuous and wise ruler. During her lifetime, she was also a person of upright character. How could she be the deceitful and thieving villain that Necromancer described?
However, according to High Priest Yiyuan and Necro, the Earth Core is indeed guarded by the vampires, but hundreds of years ago, it appeared in an unknown underground ruin in the territory of the Night Glow Empire.

Back then, she used the scepter passed down through generations of emperors to open the ruins, demonstrating that the core of the earth's origin was indeed stored here by the first emperor.

Could it be that our ancestral emperor was truly a thief?
Or is there something else?

People are always willing to believe what they want to believe.

Perhaps what she and Necro knew was not the truth, or only a fragmented part.

Shen Tang quickly found the contradiction: "If what you say is true, that the Night Glow ancestor emperor conspired with other countries' rulers to harm the clan and seize the power of the Blood Clan and the Earth Source Core, what use would they have for these things? At least in the past few hundred years, the Night Glow Empire has not become stronger, but has instead gradually declined and is facing the danger of national extinction. In my opinion, they do not seem to have gained any benefits."

"Ha, those fools certainly won't get anything out of it," Necro sneered. "Because they're nothing but pawns being used!"

"...What do you mean?" "Someone wants the blood of the vampires and the core of the earth, so they have cultivated a group of loyal dogs and placed them on this continent to become pawns that they can manipulate at will."

"Is this why you rebelled against the various empires?"

Necro closed his eyes and said nothing more.

Shen Tang felt sympathy for the extermination of the vampire clan, but she felt even more heartache and anger for the innocent soldiers and civilians of the empire who died tragically.

She clenched her fists, unable to maintain her facade any longer, and questioned, "But the Night Glow Empire of today is no longer the empire it once was. Centuries of change have ravaged the land, and the murderers of that time are long gone. The people of today only wish for a peaceful life! And do you know how many innocent people you have killed by leading the rebel army in several brutal battles?"

"So what?" Necro said indifferently. "What does it have to do with me?"

Shen Tang let out a short, cold laugh, "Based on what you said today, how are you any different from those who killed the vampires back then?!"

Necro's expression changed drastically, his gaze turning icy and murderous as he looked at her. "In my opinion, this filthy and disgusting world deserves to be completely destroyed!"

Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat at that sinister gaze, her hair stood on end, and she instinctively took two steps back.

With a splash of water, Necro rose from the pool and approached her step by step, his voice low and cold, "Little Cuihua, I am a vampire. Vampires crave fresh blood, and I—love a world where blood flows like rivers!"

He stopped in front of her, pinched her chin, and examined her pale face. Suddenly, he smiled gently and wickedly, "But now that I have you, I don't think this world needs to be destroyed."

"..."

Necro released his grip, turned, and walked out. "Alright, this isn't something you should know. I also hate it when people lecture me. Just stay by my side, and you don't need to worry about anything else."

"Also, we should go."

Shen Tang glanced at the blood pool one last time before turning to follow Necro.

After leaving the palace ruins, the gates were closed again.

Although it was still bright outside, a cold and bloodthirsty aura lingered around Shen Tang ever since she left that place, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

The tense atmosphere between the two of them made her even more terrified, as if something ominous was brewing.

“I’ve told you the secret of the vampires, but you can’t tell anyone else.” Necro turned to look at her, his voice low and dangerous. “Understand?”

Shen Tang nodded quickly, "I know, I will never tell anyone!"

“I can’t trust verbal guarantees.”

Necro pulled the female into his arms, her back pressed against his chest. His long fingers traced her fair neck, his gaze deepening. "Remember what I said? Peeping into secrets... comes at a price."

The long-forgotten fear surged back into my heart.

Shen Tang turned to look at him, her voice trembling, "What...what do you want to do?"

The man stared down at her intently, like a hungry wolf eyeing its plump prey, his eyes filled with aggression and aggression.

His dark pupils gradually turned dark red, shrinking into needle-like shapes, and vampire fangs slowly emerged. Even his ears became long and thin.

Shen Tang's breath hitched, sensing an indescribable danger!

She instinctively tried to escape, but the man's arms held her tightly around the waist, making it impossible for her to move!
Necro stroked the female's pale neck with fascination, the bluish arteries flowing beneath clearly visible. One bite would surely be incredibly delicious. "Let me drain your blood, then bestow my own...transform you into a vampire uniquely mine!"

His father's.

Shen Tang was genuinely frightened this time.

This bastard wants to turn her into a vampire?!

Looking at the female's panicked face, Necro said with some dissatisfaction, "Don't be afraid, I will be very gentle, you won't feel much pain. Becoming a vampire will make you stronger!"

Shen Tang didn't believe this scoundrel's sweet talk. If she became a vampire, she would be controlled by him for life and completely lose her freedom!

Moreover, she will crave his blood. If she does not receive his blood for a long time, she will suffer greatly and may even die!

He wanted her to be inseparable from him for the rest of her life! To be under his control!

Sure enough, even after winning him over to the point of deep affection, this rebel general wasn't so easily fooled; the price to obtain the secret was indeed high!
