Two days passed quickly.
They encountered three groups of Yang Family members, who were incorporated into the squad.
Some individuals also obtained additional information and treasures from the city residents.
Despite some Yang Family direct line, Yang Family collateral line, and Sky Dragon Army members still not catching up in terms of numbers, it was time for them to leave.
If they didn’t leave now, there wouldn’t be enough time.
By the time they set off, their squad had grown significantly, amounting to 347 people.
Out of the five hundred-plus people who came in, they managed to find over half.
And they reestablished faith for those descendants, expanding Yang Genshuo’s vision more and more.
Before they left the city, Zhong Yi specifically came to send them off.
"It seems you are determined to transport the grain for the court..."
"The road ahead is perilous, take care everyone."
"If you meet the Emperor, please ask him... does he still remember the border soldiers?"
Zhong Yi’s disappointment and disdain for the Dynasty ran deep, but he still held fast to defending the city, not for the court, but to protect these civilians.
"General Zhong, until we meet again!"
After bidding farewell to Guangning City, the main force embarked on their journey to transport grain to the capital.
Not long after they set out, they spotted small groups of Flowing Corpses along the roadside.
In the past, they would have feared them, but now... they were a large force.
"Kill them all, and see if there’s anything valuable on them!"
At Yang Qiangjin’s command, the Sky Dragon Army moved directly into action. freёwebnovel.com
"Laser Sword Formation, form!"
The officer led the soldiers to form a Laser Sword Formation, easily dealing with the small group of 50 Flowing Corpses blocking the way.
After inspecting the corpses, the soldiers came back to report:
"Lady Qiangjin, we didn’t find any loot worth taking."
"Alright, continue ahead."
Along the way, whenever they encountered something threatening, they boldly charged and obliterated it.
There was no match for them.
Yang Genshuo looked on, speechless with a smile.
"That’s why you can’t watch a horror movie with a big group... it ruins the atmosphere, turning it all into amusement."
Originally, the White Grain Warehouse was shrouded in mist and mystery, but by this point, it was completely conquered by the team’s strength, posing no threat; as long as the health bar was visible, they would attack.
Unless they were up against a Great Power like Zhong Yi, they could bulldoze their way through.
"The official road is a straight path; if we keep going, we’ll reach the capital..."
"Hmm? What’s up ahead on the mountain...?"
After the group had walked for a while, they noticed figures moving on the mountain, seemingly quite a few people.
"Mountain bandits? Flowing Corpses? Or...?"
The group paused momentarily, exchanging glances.
In the past, they would have avoided such situations directly to save time.
But now...
"Let’s go, charge up and take a look."
When alone, they were cautious, but with numbers, why hesitate?
The group charged directly up the mountain!
Encounter something hostile, kill it on the spot.
Yang Genshuo merely flipped through a few Character Cards, then had nothing else to do...
No need for his command; the Yang Family were pretty fierce in a fight.
Both collateral members and the Sky Dragon Army had abundant martial virtues.
The mountain was a fortress, home to some bandits and demons...
"What are they babbling about, can’t understand, kill them all and search for treasures." fгeewebnovёl.com
After Yang Min and Yang Qiangjin took down the leaders, the others began dismantling the fortress directly.
Very quickly, they uncovered a considerable bounty from the fortress.
"Report!"
"Sky Dragon Army has finished scavenging, obtaining 3 Mortal-Level Miracle Treasures, 1 Earth-Level Miracle Treasure, and some grain..."
Yang Qiangjin nodded: "Very good, keep moving forward."
"A few more of these fortresses, and we can make up for the grain lost to Zhong Yi."
The Yang Family group rapidly advanced.
After they departed, the situation in Guangning City grew grim.
"General, the Flowing Corpses have absorbed many strong individuals lately; we can barely hold on..."
"I understand... I’ll call for the stout guards to come forth."
...
After cultivating for two full days, Yang Zhu reluctantly stopped operating the Cultivation Technique.
"Feels so good~"
Yang Zhu felt his Realm was steadily improving, needing only continued cultivation to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But he couldn’t be seduced by this feeling.
"Ancestor, my mother is unattended over there... I continually feel uneasy inside; could you please check if my mother is alright?"
Yang Zhu respectfully bowed to the sky, seeking guidance from the ancestor.
"Hmm... ever since you arrived in this world, I couldn’t see over there; my vision can only follow our Yang Family’s bloodline."
"Is that so... then should I go back once?"
"Nonsense, coming here once is no easy feat, and it’s such a safe environment; you should earn enough before going back, else who knows where you’ll end up next time."
"But..."
"No need to worry, before you came, you fed your mother a high-grade Fasting Pill. She won’t need food or drink for a month; her location is safe, and the Micro Array Plate I gave you for protection can be as effective as a Third Grade defensive formation. If even that can’t hold... you going back is just wasting a life."
"Oh... Then should I continue cultivating?"
Yang Zhu was indeed caught up in worry, but once the ancestor laid out the objective conditions, his mind cleared significantly.
"Stop cultivating, get up and do something."
"But in this desert, besides poisonous insects, there’s nothing much to do..."
"Hey~ it’s just the poisonous insects; there’s one special poisonous insect you need to catch for me to see what’s there. It’s the giant scorpion drinking water at the oasis."
"I see it... but, Ancestor, can I defeat it?"
In the center of the oasis, there was a scorpion about 3 meters long, covered in purple-red armor, its tail’s tip raised 2 meters high with a pitch-black toxic substance gleaming under the sun, clearly a highly poisonous creature.
