Chapter 291 An Amazing Treasury
Qin Hao saw Yun Zhongcheng fleeing. He did not chase after him but walked to the foot of that wall and looked at somewhere on it. Suddenly, he attacked it with his fist.
“Boom”, with a big sound, the land was shaking.
Outside in front of the mayor’s mansion, people from Shaxian Town were standing opposite to Sky Group. They were all defending for their own group, but no one dared to act first.
People of Shaxian Town received an order before that they should not easily offend Sky Group. They knew that their deputy mayor Mr. Yun had gone in with Sky Group’s instructor Qin Hao. It might be possible that they had made a peace contract inside. If they acted outside without thinking and created some conflicts, no one could bear the responsibility. They had seen the aggressiveness of Qin Hao not long before and they were still fearful.
Hence without an order from Yun Zhongcheng, they dared not to act. However, they would also not allow Sky Group to enter it. Mayor’s mansion was the last fortress of Shaxian Town. If it was invaded by Sky Group, the whole town would be totally in their control, so they must defend this place.
Sky Group wanted to act, though. But they did not have enough experts. A few people of Shaxian Town’s side had released strong Qi. There must be Spirit Stage experts among them.
Without Qin Hao, it would be suicide to rush and attack them to make them counterattack.
Therefore, they were just in such a stalemate. There was a suppressed and yet unsteady atmosphere. In such an atmosphere, the land beneath their feet started to shake and something was booming underground.
“What happened? Earthquake?”
They all felt panic. Shaxian Town’s people all had a surprised look. According to their experience, there had never had an earthquake, not even the slightest ones.
“Boom boom…”
The sound from underground was constant and it had a tempo as if someone had been hitting drums under there. With each sound, the land surface would shake hard.
“What happened? Why hasn’t it been taken?” A powerful, loud and authoritative sound appeared from the back of Sky Group.
“General Li.” People all turned back. It was Li Zhanwu who came here.
Li Zhanwu went through the crowd to the front and stared at the Shaxian Town’s people, said in a cold tone, “Listen, no more useless defense. Or…!”
With the “or” finished, there comes a loud sound of “boom” and the land had a strongest shake, which was much fiercer than the previous ones. Li Zhanwu, an ordinary people, couldn’t stand on himself and almost fell down. Luckily, he was supported by someone.
“It’s an earthquake. Retreat and protect the general to leave.” Someone yelled.
“Don’t panic. You all calm down and let me go.” Li Zhanwu said in a manly tone with his look unchanged. He then loudly ordered, “Figure out what on earth happened.”
“Yes.” Someone instantly ran away.
With Sky Group’s deploying of someone to investigate, there were also a few experts who turned around to enter the mayor’s mansion. Among them, there were a few Spirit Stage experts. They felt that something unusual happened in treasury’s direction, which determined the destiny and future of Shaxian Town. They would never let something bad happen to it.
…
At the tunnel of the mayor’s mansion, Qin Hao looked at the big hole made by his fist and smiled with satisfaction. Then he stepped into it.
While entering the tunnel, his Spirit Sense had focused on this place, which was exactly the treasury of Shaxian Town. He did not bother to chase after Yun Zhongcheng, for he had more interests in this treasury than him.
Yun Zhongcheng did not expect that Qin Hao found the location of their treasury. He thought that even if someone found the treasury, he would not open it without the key. Without the specially made key, no one could open it. He did not further expect that Qin Hao had been so powerful and made a hole with his fist. The so-called gate and key were nothing before him.
At that moment, all treasures in the treasury were exposed to him, which made him quite amazed.
Shaxian town lived up to its reputation as the “No.1 Town of Martial Cultivators”. The amount of the treasures in it exceeded his imagination and even some rare treasures could be seen here.
Seeing them, Qin Hao was like a pervert watching a naked beauty in a greedy way. His Adam’s apple moved up and down and his saliva almost flowed out.
There were altogether five big rooms interconnected with each other. In each room, there were piles of treasures, which were placed in different categories.
In the past, a Blood Core Grass or a Black Star Stone would make him quite happy. At present, in this place, there was a counter full of Blood Core Grass. As for Black Star Stone, it was treated as trash and casually piled in a shadowy corner.
No wonder Shaxian Town could give birth to a mayor who was qualified to enter Semi-Ancient Martial World. Yun Zhongcheng was even in Peak of Spirit Stage. If he hadn’t encountered Qin Hao, if he had been left to develop freely, he would have reached the early stage of Void Stage, becoming the second person of Shaxian town who could enter Semi-Ancient Martial World, the third person in the urban world.
The first person was Monk Kuye from Crouching-Dragon Temple, and the second was the mayor of Shaxian Town Duan Lang. The third would be Yun Zhongcheng.
Unfortunately, he had a bad luck and he encountered Qin Hao. He could only blame his bad luck.
In the face of such terribly rich cultivation resource before him, Qin Hao’s Space Ring could not even be enough. At most he could take one-fifth of them. Therefore, he could only choose those supreme ones and took them into his ring. The rest would be left to Sky Group.
While taking them into his ring, he made orders to the Earth Spirit Beast inside that apart from some precious treasures, other spiritual herbs and Spirit Stones would be free for it to eat.
The Little Monster could not be happier. For the very first time, it felt the happiness living in the ring.
With all things packed, Qin Hao turned back and walked out of the treasury. He was about to call Sky Group to move these things away.
As he moved out, he felt several strong Qi rushing here. He used his Spirit Sense to detect and found that there were a dozen of people and two of them were Spirit Stage experts, who were rushing here hurriedly.
Qin Hao sneered and stood outside in the room to wait for them.
“Stop!”
The man leading the team rushed into the room and found Qin Hao. He stopped all the rest people.
Other people stopped and also found Qin Hao. Then they saw with terror the big hole behind Qin Hao, which was letting out fierce spirit qi and there was flashlight of some Spirit Materials.
“Master, Master Qin, where is our deputy mayor?” The leading man asked in a trembling tone.
“He ran away.” Qin Hao said mildly and answered with merely three words.
“He ran away. And you…?”
Qin Hao saw them all looking at the treasury behind him. He smiled, “All things here belong to us now.”
“Master Qin, the treasures in it are collected by Shaxian Town’s efforts in about a thousand years. You can take what you want. But it’s too much if you want them all. Aren’t you afraid that our mayor will come back to you?” The leading man was naturally resistant to someone who would just take all the thousand years’ fruits of Shaxian town. It turned out to be the gift to Qin Hao.
“Your mayor? Hum.” Qin Hao had a weird smile, “You can’t probably see him coming.”
“You, what do you want to do?” All of them were scared.
“It’s simple. To kill you all.”
“You’re so arrogant. Our mayor will kill you when he comes back.” The leading man was irritated.
“To kill me? Maybe. But you won’t see it.” Qin Hao had a bigger smile. A bloody red saber was then in his hand. The tunnel was instantly full of the smell of coldness and blood.
“Let’s fight! Attack together!”
Knowing that they had no way out, they made up their mind and attacked with yells.
However, before they could take out their knives, they had been sieged by bloody light at the next moment.
Anywhere Scarlet Blood Saber passed, it was swallowed by the blood rain. The saber let out “hiss” sound happily. It was taking in blood.
It had been a long time since it took in blood, so it yearned for blood. That’s why Qin Hao used it. Or, he would not bother using a saber to kill these people.
The blood light disappeared together with the Scarlet Blood Saber. Qin Hao had already walked towards to the exit of the tunnel, leaving those people from Shaxian Town standing behind him quietly.
“Thump”.
The sound of the first person’s falling down. Then the second. Soon they fell down one after another and the bodies were everywhere.
…
When Qin Hao went out from the exit of the tunnel, he saw the two groups still defending against each other. With no more words, he made a few palms to blow away the gate and walls of mayor’s mansion. People who stood next to the gate and walls were hit. Their bodies were torn apart and blood was spattering. They became dead bodies on the ground finally, one after another.
It’s simple and violent.
Sky Group people were firstly quite scared. When they saw Qin Hao walking out, they were quite relieved.
Seeing Qin Hao, Li Zhanwu rushed forwards and asked, “Qin Hao, can you just have a slight piece of organization awareness and not act alone? You are the instructor, a Major General. You should lead these soldiers to kill enemies. Just now, as you can see, the situation was quite dangerous. If they made a strike suddenly, we will be all killed without you here.”
Qin Hao sneered with contempt, “You talk too much. Hasn’t it all been handled? Right, there is a treasure in the inside tunnel. There are rich cultivation resources beyond your imagination. Command people to move them away as quickly as possible. Retreat instantly after you take things away. I’ll stay here.”
Li Zhanwu was at lost, “For what?”
“For there will be a bloody fight tomorrow. It is too dangerous for you to stay here.” Qin Hao answered calmly.
“Another bloody fight? Aren’t all people killed by you easily?” Li Zhanwu did not know what was going on.
“The mayor of this town is on his way back. He’s a Void Stage expert. There will be probably more Void Stage experts following him here.” Qin Hao did not keep saying, He had no need to do so. They all understood that Qin Hao would stay here to fight against several Void Stage experts.
Li Zhanwu was anxious, “No way. It’s too dangerous for you to stay here. You must retreat with us.”
Qin Hao shook his head, “Old Li, I can’t retreat. If they are not handled, they’ll be audacious enough to attack the capital city. Can you imagine the consequence? We can leave. Then what about the capital city?”
Li Zhanwu was struck dumb. As the old saying goes, “The monk can run away, but not the temple.”
He knew a lot about Martial Cultivators now. He knew the audacity and violence of those Martial Cultivators. A Spirit Stage expert like Long Yubai had been audacious enough to make such a big event in capital city, let alone Void Stage experts from Semi-Ancient Martial World. They could make a slaughter in capital city. As a soldier, in no sense would he allow such things to happen. He must stop them even at the sacrifice of his life.
However, talking of stopping them, who else could stop them except for Qin Hao?
Was it really the only choice to leave Qin Hao alone here to deal with those Void Stage experts?
