Chapter 44: The Decision
Before long, Qin Sang’s face fell into deep disappointment as he sighed softly.
He rushed down the mountain and, unable to contain his impatience, scoured the chaotic battlefield for a long time. Besides finding two strips of cloth hanging from tree branches, he did not see a single soul, not even a body.
The battlefield appeared to be confined within a few hundred zhang in radius. Unwilling to give up, Qin Sang widened his search but found no further traces.
Holding the two pieces of high-quality blue fabric, he gazed thoughtfully at the valley below, which had been severely altered.
The peaks on either side of the valley had collapsed, filling it with rubble, and a small river that once flowed through the valley was now blocked, forming a small lake upstream. Can someone be trapped under the debris in the valley?
With so much rubble, it was impossible for him to clear it alone. Qin Sang hesitated for a moment before returning to the ancient path and ordering a battalion of soldiers to come and dig.
Though the valley was not on the ancient path, no one dared defy Qin Sang’s orders. They immediately began working enthusiastically.
Impatient, Qin Sang also stepped in to help.
The valley was small, but the accumulation of earth and rocks was deep. Qin Sang could not help but worry that even if someone was buried beneath, they might have been crushed into a pulp. He hoped that the materials had not been damaged.
