Locating the entrance of an underground tunnel, Austin immediately summoned Mindy and Violet there. Together, the three of them entered the tunnel.
Inside, they discovered more than 10 cells.
In these cells, Mindy found the principle members of the Zhang Clan, as well as the head of the clan. There were more than 10 of them there. The most exciting part was that Mindy also found her father, whose brother was the leader, and also one of the principal members. In order to find the scripture of Elixir Foundation, the Li Clan had imprisoned most of the principal members of the Zhang Clan and questioned them using harsh methods, including torture, every now and then.
Mindy also found out that her mother had been killed by the Li Clan on the night of the attack. Hearing this, she put her arms around her father and broke down.
After they rescued all the principal members of her clan, Mindy gathered the other members of the Zhang Clan whom she had asked to remain hidden.
In this way, more than 30 members of the Zhang Clan were now standing together in the courtyard of the Li Clan.
Previously the Zhang Clan had over 400 members. After the disaster, less than 40 members remained. Standing in silence in the Li Clan's courtyard and looking at the numerous dead bodies, the members of the Zhang Clan had mixed feelings. They were saddened by the impact of the disaster but felt lucky to be the ones who survived it. The atmosphere in the courtyard was somber.
But they had successfully avenged their fellow clan members and the Li Clan had been ruined. Now the question on everybody's mind was how to revive their clan in the future.
The members slowly went to their leader, gazing at him with eyes filled with despair and hope.
"Listen, everyone! We will rebuild our clan in the coming days. The Zhang Clan will be more prosperous and powerful in Valley Town than it ever was! We will make it great again!" proclaimed the head of the clan slowly.
Although his voice was not loud, each of the members felt their spirits rising and a renewed vigor returning filling their bodies.
"Make our clan great again! Make our clan great again! ... ..."
Everyone chanted together, their eyes wet with tears. . . .
Then they found the secret room of the Li Clan, where Lanny had hidden the treasures.
They found as much as 1500, 000 vital energy crystals. It was a tremendous amount of fortune for this clan from a small town.
That's not all. They also found lots of deeds of houses and lands. They counted them carefully and concluded that these deeds contained almost two third of all the properties of Valley Town.
In fact, some of them had once belonged to the Zhang Clan. After their clan was destroyed, their properties were usurped by the Li Clan.
But now everything had returned to its rightful owners.
"Austin, these vital energy crystals were found in the Li Clan's secret room. There are about 1500, 000 pieces. It is you who helped us avenge our fallen brothers and sisters and also defeat the Li Clan. So we feel that these vital energy crystals should belong to you," Zachary Zhang, the head of the Zhang Clan said to Austin.
All the vital energy crystals were put in front of Austin.
Getting to know the identity of Austin, as well the detailed process of defeating the Li Clan from Mindy, Zachary understood clearly that it was Austin who had made the greatest contribution to what had happened.
It would probably not so quick and smooth if Austin had returned directly to the Sun Sect and Mindy had come back by herself after they obtained the twin blossoms.
Mindy knew that she could not defeat Lanny even though she, too, broke through the preliminary stage of Earth Realm.
Austin was stunned at the sight of so many vital energy crystals piled up in front of him.
"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to do this for me. You are going to rebuild the Zhang Clan, and you will need a great many treasures. You should be the one to take these vital energy crystals," Austin said, refusing Zachary's offer.
He came here for the purpose of helping Mindy, not for these vital energy crystals. Besides, as what he said, he knew that the Zhang Clan was in great need of money since they had made up their minds to rebuild the clan.
"The Zhang Clan owes you a great deal as you have helped us so much. We cannot repay you even if we all serve you for the rest of our lives. These vital energy crystals are nothing compared to what you have done for us. Please accept these. It's the only way for us to show our gratitude.
Besides, we have claimed all the properties of the Li Clan in Valley Town, including the shops, houses, lands and so on. We can rebuild our clan with those.
I urge you to accept our gift. Do not refuse us," Zachary said sincerely.
Mindy also came forward and pleaded Austin to accept it. Finally, giving in to Zachary and Mindy persistence, Austin nodded his head.
"Okay. I will not refuse you but I will take half of these vital energy crystals. That means I accept your gratitude," Austin said.
