Happy Late New Year!!! To start off the Year here's a new Chapter :D. Thank You Nick H. For proofing/Editing :D I wish you all a great year full of joy and good health. Because without joy life is dull and without good health you wouldn't be able to enjoy life.

No people nor animal stirred as they continued their march toward Black Wind city. Only the eerie howling of the wind, the rhythmic marching of the soldiers and the rocking of carts loaded with villagers could be heard.

By now, Zhang had gathered thousands of civilians who were going to follow him back to Red Mist City. The Black Wind Province could not be rebuilt or sustain a large population due to the devastation the worms caused. Fields were littered with dead bodies and the water was not safe to drink due to contamination.

Brother, is that Black Wind City? Ai asked as she pointed into the distance at a large expanse of walls. Behind these walls were high towers that reached into the clouds.

Lu Xun, order the men to clear out the city. We will be staying inside for a few days to recuperate. Zhang ordered.

Moments later, Zhangs army and the civilians entered the empty city through a pair of massive gates that were wide open.

Once inside everyone broke into groups to find places to sleep in. Since they were staying inside an abandoned city, there would be plenty of places to sleep in.

My lord, this is the city lords mansion. Zhang Liao said respectfully as he stood in front of a pair of exquisite looking gates.

Okay let's go. Zhang Liao lead the way. Zhang said as he gestured to Zhang Liao.

Unlike other abandoned cities or mansions, where all of the valuables had been looted, every room they walked pass was filled with valuables.

Almost the entire population of Black Wind City had been wiped out due to the infection. Be it man, woman, or child everyone turned into undead.

You shitting me? How does that look like a door that leads to the treasury of a province? Gan Ning said with furrowed brows.

Both of you shut up! No bickering. We will know if its the treasury or not once we open the door. Sun Ce yelled toward the two.

The plain looking wooden door was opened and behind it was another door. The second door was made entirely out of metal and looked extremely solid.

Behind the second door was a flight of stairs that spiralled downward. Glowing crystals illuminated the walls as the group began descending. Much like the treasury of the Heilong Kingdom, the stairs spiralled downward as if they went on endlessly.

Wai-wait my lord!! Zhang Liao yelled out as Zhang jumped off the ledge.

Once Zhang landed, he noticed there was a huge set of silver gates with delicate looking carvings engraved into them.

One of the engravings showed an image of a small boy wearing a long black cape that flowed behind him. Another engraving showed the same boy defending his village from many monsters. The last engraving Zhang could make out was of the boy commanding an army of monsters to follow him in battle.

Moments later, the twin gates parted and a river of gold coins flowed out onto Zhangs boots. the room behind the gates was filled to the brim with gold and sparkling jewels, but, of course, Zhang paid no mind to these things because he had plenty of them within his interspatial ring.

As he ascended the white marble steps and reached the top of the altar, Zhang saw an exquisite looking chest made of silver and lined with gold. that appeared to be within arms reach.

Phew. that was a close one. I almost had to go see father in law.. Zhang thought as he made his way back up the altar.

What the? Zhang murmured as he picked up the rag and looked at it.The rag had a raggedy texture and many loose threads showing that it had seen a lot of use. Oddly, he could not recognize what material the rag was made out of, but Zhang knew that this rag had to have some sort of significant importance to be placed on top of the altar in aboody trapped chest.

Strange Zhang thought as a purplish glow enveloped the entire rag, and it began mending itself. The tattered threads began growing and intricately crisscrossed each other.

Without a thought, Zhang tossed the cape into the air and then draped it over his shoulders onto the floor.

After a short while, due to his lack of interest, Zhang decided to try to figure out the ability that the cape possessed later and thought it was wiser to spend his time looking for other useful things in the treasury.

A gift is never wasted on a beauty! Zhang snickered as he continued picking out things for the three girls.

Looking back Zhang saw Ai waving at him from afar with a broad smile on her face.

My lord Im amazed you got the silver gates to open. Zhang Liao said as he walked out from behind a mound of gold.

There was only one way to open the gates without destroying them and that was to activate the the inscription patterns on the gate. Zhang Liao added.

Hes one lucky man Luckily he didnt trigger the explosive mechanism in the gate. That would have set thousands of kegs of black powder off. Zhang Liao thought to himself.

Despite being allies with the Aurora province, the Black Wind province was not very power from the look of things. However, they may have an interspatial ring or two filled with magical items. Zhang murmured after storying away the gold and jewels. There was a chance that all of the magical items that was owned by the province was within the provincial lords interspatial ring, but that ring could have ended up anywhere within the province.

While walking through the mansion, Zhang and the three beauties stumbled on a huge room with an extremely large bed within it.

Well this will be where we will be sleeping. Ai pointed out as she hopped on the large bed and rolled around while stretching her limbs.

Due to its size, it would be more accurate to call this closet a room filled with clothes. Within the room there were hundreds of expensive looking outfits for women. Dresses made out of all kinds of materials were neatly hung within the room and ready to be worn at anytime.

Maybe you're right. Zhang chuckled as he walked into the closet.

You guys should wear these dresses. He blurted out as he held up three transparent dresses for the three beauties to see.

More like pieces of invisible cloth. Who would wear those outside? Ling said with a laugh.

Im not asking you to wear it when going outside. I wouldnt want anyone else to be able to admire such a beautiful sight. Wearing these in a bedroom at night might be a good idea. Zhang chuckled; trying to send hints to the three beauties.

If you really want to... then maybe just once. Ling said shyly as she walked up to Zhang and took the one of the nearly transparent dresses from his hands.

I-if brother would like it, then why not. Ling said shyly with crimson cheeks as she gripped the transparent dress.

Hehe. You guys realize I was kidding, right? Zhang chuckled as he scratched his head while a wide grin could be seen on his face.

But I wouldnt be against it if you wore the dress. Zhang murmured.
