The fire in Redsun Town burned until dawn. Half of the houses and buildings in the town were destroyed, and dried corpses could be seen in many places. The townspeople were cleaning up the mess. Some of them had their family members killed, and they were crying out loud. Some of them were so angry that they vented their anger on the Blood Devils' corpses by stabbing them with their swords. But even so, the hatred in their hearts couldn't be appeased.
This was the hatred of having their families destroyed, and nothing could make it go away.
However, apart from being sad and angry, many people also felt extremely lucky. They felt lucky that most of the people in the Redsun Town were still alive and well. Yesterday, when the disaster had just started, some powerful people had appeared and killed the Blood Devils, saving them from the disaster.
At dawn, dozens of dried corpses were placed on the square of Redsun Town. All of them had died in the same way, two holes were bitten on their necks, and all their blood had been sucked dry.
Underneath these corpses, there was a huge pile of firewood. The Mayor and the other townspeople were standing around, their faces filled with sadness and hatred. Zhang Wei was holding a torch in his hand, and his arm was trembling.
"Mayor."
Zhang Wei looked at the Mayor and said with a trembling voice. Redsun Town had always been peaceful and united, and they had never thought that such a disaster would happen to them.
"Burn it."
The Mayor closed his eyes in pain. Zhang Wei threw the torch into the pile of firewood, and in an instant, a raging fire broke out. Soon, all the corpses were engulfed by the sea of fire. Hearing the crackling sounds coming out from the sea of fire, the townspeople couldn't hide their hatred. Some of them were crying because their family members had died. It was a sad scene. Jiang Chen who was standing aside had mixed feelings as well.
In the world of cultivation, the strong preyed on the weak. It was rare to see such a cruel scene.
"Mayor, this is young master Jiang Chen from the Black Sect. It's all thanks to young master Jiang Chen's help this time. He killed the Blood Devils and saved us, and he also promised to help us out in Redsun Town, helping us solve the crisis."
Zhang Wei looked at Jiang Chen and said.
After a moment of sadness, everyone regained their senses. They all looked at Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog with respect and gratitude on their faces. Last night, they had witnessed the strength of this man and dog with their own eyes. It was truly shocking.
Furthermore, what Zhang Wei said was right. If it wasn't for Jiang Chen's timely arrival, there wouldn't only be dozens of dried corpses in Redsun Town. Perhaps all the thousands of people in Redsun Town would have been killed, and the entire town would have turned into a ghost town.
It was Jiang Chen who had saved their lives. Without Jiang Chen, there would be no them. This was a life-saving grace that they could never repay.
"Thank you for saving me, Young Master Jiang."
The mayor bowed deeply to Jiang Chen, and thousands of people in the square bowed to Jiang Chen at the same time. This was a great kindness, and they could not repay it. They could only worship Jiang Chen as a savior in their hearts.
"You don't have to do this. The reason why I've come here is to kill the Blood Devil."
Jiang Chen waved his hand.
"No, Young Master Jiang Chen has given Hongyang Town a new lease of life. We can never repay this kindness. I am Zhang Zhen, and I am willing to serve Young Master Jiang in the future."
The mayor, Zhang Zhen, said with a solemn expression.
"Old man, you're too busy thanking him to thank Master Dog."
Da Huang Dog could not help but say.
Master Dog? Zhang Zhen was startled. Although he was extremely grateful to Da Huang Dog, it was still difficult for him to call a dog master.
"Alright, the most important thing now is to settle the townspeople. After the Blood Devils are killed, they will come again. The danger here is not completely resolved yet."
Jiang Chen said.
Hearing this, the townspeople couldn't help but feel nervous. Jiang Chen was right, the Blood Devils were brutal and tyrannical. Now that they had suffered a great loss in this small town, they would definitely come back for revenge. The next time they came, they would definitely be stronger than last night.
"The remaining residences in Hongyang Town are enough to accommodate the townspeople. But, if the Blood Devils come again, how are we going to deal with them?"
Zhang Zhen said with a frown.
"Don't worry, I'll stay here for now."
Jiang Chen said. His original plan was to go to Yellowstone City, but judging from the current situation, there was no need for that anymore. The Blood Devils had appeared in Yellowstone, and Redsun Town was the first place where they carried out a large scale massacre. Since they had failed the first time, Redsun Town would definitely become the main target of the Blood Devil leaders. With that, Redsun Town would become the main battlefield for the Blood Devils, and this was what Jiang Chen wanted to see. Letting the Blood Devils come to Redsun Town was much easier than searching for them in the entire Yellowstone region.
Besides, once the Blood Devils locked onto the same target, the other places in the Yellowstone area would be relatively safe. Plus, there were still some big powers in Yellowstone City, so there was no need to worry.
Hearing that Jiang Chen was going to stay, the townspeople were surprised. They had witnessed how powerful Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog were last night. As long as this man and dog were here, the safety of Hongyang Town would not be a problem.
"Young master Jiang has done so much for our Hongyang Town! From now on, all warriors above the Mortal Core realm will fight alongside young master Jiang! We will fight against the Blood Devils until the end, and we will listen to all of young master Jiang's orders!"
Zhang Zhen was shocked.
"We will follow young master Jiang from afar and fight!"
All the Mortal Core warriors of Hongyang Town shouted out loudly, showing their determination. They had all died once, so they were no longer afraid of death.
Under the lead of Zhang Wei and the others, all the frightened townspeople were settled down. After that, Jiang Chen followed Zhang Zhen and the other old men of Hongyang Town to the center of the town where the ceremony would take place.
Within the meeting hall, Jiang Chen was sitting in the main seat. He looked calm and relaxed, and his energy was much stronger than before. After absorbing the two Heavenly Core devil cores, he had formed another three Dragon Marks. Right now, he had a total of 90 Dragon Marks in his Qi Sea, and he was one step closer to the Heavenly Core realm.
"Zhang Zhen, tell me about the current situation in Yellowstone."
Jiang Chen asked.
"The center of Yellowstone is Yellowstone City, and it is controlled by the Yu family. The chief of the Yu family is a Mid Heavenly Core warrior. With Yellowstone City as the center, there are dozens of towns and cities. Our Hongyang Town can only be considered as one of the weaker towns. I never expected that the Blood Devils would make us their first target."
Zhang Zhen said.
"Since I'm here, I need to protect the peace of Yellowstone."
Jiang Chen thought to himself. Now, attracting the Blood Devils' attention to Hongyang Town was the right move for him. It had saved him a lot of trouble when fighting with the Blood Devils.
Jiang Chen had a good plan. He could almost imagine that Hongyang Town would become the target of the Blood Devils in the near future, and the other towns and cities wouldn't be affected much. Therefore, Jiang Chen decided to stay in Hongyang Town and fight the Blood Devils.
But at the same time, Jiang Chen wouldn't leave the other towns and cities alone. He had accepted the mission, and he wanted to complete it perfectly. He couldn't allow the Blood Devils to wreak havoc in Yellowstone and kill innocent people.
In order to ensure the peace of Yellowstone, Jiang Chen alone wasn't enough. After all, he was just one man, and he couldn't take care of all the towns and cities in Yellowstone at the same time. Therefore, he needed to use the Yu family.
"Zhang Zhen, send someone to Yellowstone City immediately and ask the Chief of the Yu family to come see me. Just tell him that I'm a disciple of the Black Sect, and don't mention my name."
Jiang Chen said. Currently, everyone in Hongyang Town was in a state of panic. The Blood Devils could attack at any time, and he couldn't leave. Initially, he wanted to ask Da Huang Dog to go to Yellowstone City, but Da Huang Dog had just told him that he didn't want to leave, and he even gave him this idea.
"Alright. Zhang Quan, go to Yellowstone City's Yu family immediately and tell them young master Jiang's message."
Zhang Zhen didn't ask why Jiang Chen asked the Chief of the Yu family to come here, he just told an old man next to him. This old man's name was Zhang Quan, and he was a peak Mortal Core warrior. With his cultivation level, it would only take him two to three hours to get to Yellowstone City from here. Besides, the Blood Devils would only appear at night, and they wouldn't appear during the day. Even if they did, a peak Mortal Core warrior would be able to handle them.
"I'll go now."
Zhang Quan cupped his fist toward Jiang Chen, then he left with big steps.
"Zhang Zhen, send someone to keep an eye on the surroundings of Hongyang Town. All of you can leave now."
Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.
"Young master Jiang, you can rest here for a while. If the Blood Devils don't appear, I won't ask anyone to disturb you."
Zhang Zhen said. After that, he brought everyone and left. Hongyang Town was in a state of panic, and as the Mayor, he had a lot of things to deal with.
After everyone left, Jiang Chen looked at Da Huang Dog and said, "Da Huang, why don't you want to go to Yellowstone City? Why did you ask the Chief of the Yu family to come see me?"
Jiang Chen was puzzled.
"You are the savior of Yellowstone, it's only right for the Yu family to come see you. We need to have some status, don't we?"
Da Huang Dog shook his head and said. Jiang Chen rubbed his head. Only Da Huang Dog could say this kind of reason so naturally. However, Jiang Chen did want to see the Chief of the Yu family. This time, he needed the help of the Yu family to kill the Blood Devils.
"Then why don't you go to Yellowstone City yourself?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"Because I found a treasure in this Hongyang Town."
Da Huang Dog lowered his voice, and his eyes shone brightly.
Hearing the word 'treasure', Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. This dog's treasure hunting ability was far beyond that of an ordinary man. Furthermore, the treasure that caught his eye must be something extraordinary. No wonder this dog didn't want to leave, it was because he found a treasure. Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
"What treasure? Where is it? "
Jiang Chen hurriedly asked.
"Look at you. Let me tell you, the treasure this time is no small matter. If I'm not wrong, there should be a spirit vein hidden under Hongyang Town."
Da Huang Dog's words were shocking.
"What? Spirit vein? "
