Chapter 141
Chapter 141 – Underground Energy Vein
The flames within Redsun Town had finally died out in the next morning. Almost half the houses and buildings had burned down, and mummified corpses could be seen everywhere. The townspeople had begun cleaning the place. Some of them who had lost their families and friends were crying their lungs out, and some of them couldn’t help but curse at the Blood Devils’ bodies and torture their already dead bodies, stabbing them with their swords to release their hatred. Even so, they were still filled with misery.
This was the hatred that came after seeing their families slaughtered and their homes destroyed, nothing could help resolve this.
Although they were sad and angry about what had happened to them, most of them felt grateful as most of the people had been saved. A great warrior had arrived just before the disaster had turned worse, and he killed all the Blood Devils and saved them from the slaughter.
At dawn, dozens of mummified corpses were placed in the center of the square. All of them had two holes in their necks, and none of them had a single drop of blood remaining in their body.
Underneath these corpses there was a huge pile of firewood. The Town Marshal and the remaining townspeople gathered around it, their faces filled with grief and hatred. Zhang Wei was holding a fire torch with a trembling hand.
“Town Marshal.”
Zhang Wei looked at the Town Marshal and asked for permission with a trembling voice. Redsun Town was a small, peaceful town, and never in history had something horrible like this happened before.
Right now, the people of Redsun Town were nervous and panicking. The Blood Devils might come at any time, and there was no way he could leave now. Initially, he asked Big Yellow to make the trip to Yellowstone City, but Big Yellow had told him he didn’t want to go, and had proposed the idea of asking Chief Yu to come here.
“Will do! Zhang Quan, you will go to the Yellowstone City’s Yu family, send them young master Jiang’s message!”
Zhang Zhen didn’t ask why Jiang Chen wanted the chief of the Yu family to come here, he just turned around and instructed an old man. This old man’s name was Zhang Quan, and he was a peak Mortal Core warrior. With his cultivation level, it would just take him two to three hours to reach Yellowstone City. Besides, Blood Devils only strike at night, and they wouldn’t come out during daytime. And even if he did bump into some, with his peak Mortal Core cultivation base, he could easily escape from them.
“I’ll leave right now.”
Zhang Quan cupped his fist towards Jiang Chen, then he turned around and left with big steps.
“Zhang Zhen, send your men and watch the perimeter of Redsun Town. The rest of you, just carry on with your own tasks.”
Jiang Chen waved his hand and signaled for everyone to leave.
“Young master Jiang, please have some rest here. We won’t disturb you unless those Blood Devils show up.”
After saying that, Zhang Zhen led all the other people and left. Redsun Town was still in a panicked state, and as the Town Marshal, there were a lot of things that he needed to attend to.
After everyone left, Jiang Chen looked at Big Yellow and asked, “Big Yellow, why didn’t you want to go to Yellowstone City, and instead asked me to get the chief of the Yu family here?”
Jiang Chen asked curiously.
“You are Yellowstone’s savior, they should come to you, not the other way around. We are men with status!”
Big Yellow said while wagging his head. Jiang Chen couldn’t help but place his palm on his forehead while thinking to himself that only Big Yellow could come up with such reason. But, it was true that Jiang Chen wanted to meet the chief of the Yu family. The task of killing all Blood Devils would really require help from the Yu family.
“Why didn’t you want to go to Yellowstone City yourself?”
Jiang Chen asked.
“Because, I found a treasure in Redsun Town.”
Big Yellow whispered to Jiang Chen, his eyes were glowing.
When Jiang Chen heard the word ‘treasure’, his eyes instantly lit up. This dog’s ability to sense treasure had no comparison. Besides, the treasures he found were definitely something precious. No wonder he didn’t want to leave this place, he had found a treasure!
“What treasure? Where is it?”
Jiang Chen eagerly asked.
“Look at your dumb face. Let me tell you, it is huge this time! If my senses aren’t lying to me, right underneath this town, there is an underground energy vein!”
Big Yellow Dog threw out explosive information.
“What? Energy vein?!”
Jiang Chen was shocked, no one else knew better than him what an energy vein meant. Only four energy veins had been found in the entire Qi Province, and they had created the four big sects.
