Free Web NovelChapter 1190: Chapter 670: Epilogue (3)_2
"So many of us transported grain for you, sir, and there’s only one treasure... which was taken from us. Isn’t that unreasonable?"
"Ho ho ho~ What you all gained along the way is the karma of transporting grain. Where’s the notion of a single treasure? Don’t be greedy~"
This Hungry Official seemed to know everything they had encountered along the way and showed no intention of giving any reward.
"Alright, if you put it that way, sir... we’ll accept it, but the first treasure [Flower of Richness] given to us by Cang Jingkong was stolen by a thief. The thief was just executed, and we couldn’t find it on the thief’s body. Can you enlighten us, sir?"
These two Hungry Officials clearly knew a lot.
"Hmm... that item has already left the city, and if you want it, you’ll have to find it yourselves."
"This..."
Leaving the city meant that the item had fallen into the hands of the Flowing Corpses, making it too dangerous to retrieve it.
Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min briefly discussed and unanimously gave up on retrieving the treasure.
"Sir, now that we’ve completed the grain transport task, can we... leave?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
A big battle was about to occur, and there was a chance of accidents with so many Yang Family members in the Legendary Land.
Upon hearing the words "leave," the faces of the two Hungry Officials turned solemn, and a sinister green light emitted from their eye sockets.
"You want to... leave?"
"Yes."
"With a formidable enemy approaching, if you can contribute to defending the city, once the enemy is repelled... the current Holy Emperor will surely reward you. What treasure wouldn’t be available then?"
Huh?
A task has surfaced?
Yang Genshuo immediately realized why this story wasn’t over!
There’s still a kingdom defense battle, huh?
But damn it, no way!
I have so many First-Level Arrow Towers and Second-Level Magic Towers here, while they’re all bosses on the attack...
Even Crazy Dave wouldn’t dare take this job!
Yang Min also realized this and quickly asked:
"Sir, we’re weak. We might not be able to help much. Considering we’ve completed the court’s grain transport, is there another solution?"
The Hungry Official nodded, producing a Yellow Book in his hand that already contained many words and images, quickly flipping to the last few pages.
"You’d better think it over. If you leave now, you’ll never be able to return, and this vast fortune will have nothing to do with you... Didn’t you come here to seek an opportunity?"
"But an opportunity requires a life to seize; otherwise, it’s just a burial companion."
Yang Min had to ensure the safety of so many people with him!
That was the main reason he came here.
"In that case... I’m giving you two paths now."
"The first path is to end your grain transport journey, take whatever treasure you’ve gained, and leave this realm forever, never to return."
"The second path is... to receive the Dynasty’s blessing, become part of the city-guarding army, protect the Dynasty, and fight for a great opportunity."
"Which of these two paths will you choose?"
The Yellow Book in the Hungry Official’s hand emitted a striking glow, with countless characters shooting out and forming two different scenes in the air.
One scene showed the world outside Bright City, while the other depicted the gate of this world.
Yang Min felt he could simply touch the first scene and leave this Legendary Land.
Seeing this, Yang Genshuo finally felt relieved.
"Finally, we can leave; thankfully, it was all safe."
At least most of the Yang Family was saved.
The numerous Yang Family members behind Yang Min also displayed smiles of relief.
"We can finally leave... not being able to control one’s fate is frustrating."
"For us Foundation Establishment Cultivators, this level of Legendary Land is too difficult. A slight misstep could lead to death without a burial place. Luckily, with the elders protecting us, we can exit safely."
"Although dangerous, this Legendary Land indeed provides opportunities. Even I, obtained a Mortal Level Miracle Treasure that matches my ability and will greatly aid in my breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage! Once out, I will go into seclusion and consume it."
"After this ordeal, I realized how important the ancestor’s protection is for the family. Without the ancestor’s guidance, I’d have been dead long ago. Once out, I will burn incense and offer it for a month as a token of sincerity."
"Yes, yes, I used to think that Immortal Ancestors were just myths fabricated by the elders. Didn’t expect the Ancestor really to help us!"
"Now I understand why great-grandfather, though a mere mortal, could slay a Golden Core Flood Dragon!"
"With the Ancestor, how could the Yang Family not become the foremost Immortal Clan in the world?"
After relaxing, almost all Yang Family members expressed their gratitude for the Ancestor’s care.
Many collateral members, even though they couldn’t hear the Ancestor’s voice, felt the Ancestor guiding them to avoid dangers and agreed to jointly offer incense to the Ancestor once they left.
Yang Qiangjin’s tense face finally softened.
She patted her daughter, Li Minsi, on the head.
"Thanks to the Ancestor, and thanks to your father for protecting us..."
But Li Minsi’s face showed concern.
"Mother, but... Sister Minmin is still outside and hasn’t come back, are we just leaving like this?"
At her words, everyone present fell silent.
Indeed, they were saved, but... what about the family outside?
They were all infected, and without treatment or leaving this world, they’d become Flowing Corpses...
They were all their family!
Li Minsi was the sixteenth child of the Yang Family’s fourth generation.
Li Minmin was the fifteenth and only three years older than her.
Though Li Minmin was a crybaby as a child, she always took care of Li Minsi, even when crying from teasing by two tiger-like brothers; she never forgot to sneak Spirit Fruit for Li Minsi.
The two were like sisters from different parents!
Just like Yang Qiangjin and Yang Qiangwei.
"Ancestor, please save Sister Minmin. She’s such a good, good person... She shouldn’t die here."
Yang Zhushuang knelt down directly, knocking his head towards the sky.
"Please, Ancestor, save my mother. I’ll do anything for you, even trade my life for hers!"
Their pleas made everyone there silent.
Living in the same city, a family, even with different factions and ideas, were ultimately bound by blood.
Who could be heartless?
"Children, I’m very sorry... My power can only be used for family members who worship me."
Even Yang Genshuo could do nothing.
He couldn’t even communicate with the others.
"How about we don’t leave, but stay to guard the city... find a chance to save them! I’m skilled at arrays, and I brought many Micro Arrays I’ve developed; if we set them up in advance, we might hold our ground!"
Yang Zhu helped Yang Zhushuang up.
"Don’t be afraid, brother, sister’s got you."
As the eldest daughter of the Yang Family’s fifth generation, she received the same education as Yang Min, and she must step up.
Even if her strength wasn’t great... she had to stand out.
Seeing his daughter stepping up, Yang Minke felt a mix of reluctance but knew... it was what she should do.
He gave Yang Zhu a look of encouragement.
"Xiao Zhu is right. If we receive the court’s blessing, we might even become stronger... I support bringing the family back, then leaving together."
The two stirred emotions, and many other Yang Family members were swept along.
Leaving now was difficult, but staying wasn’t easy either.
"Ah... Aren’t you morally blackmailing?"
Yang Genshuo shook his head, feeling that Yang Zhu lacked consideration.
But those without morals obviously wouldn’t buy it.
"Sister, Fourth Uncle, if you want to stay, stay, I’m leaving. My father is still waiting for me outside; my low cultivation can’t help much. I’ll wait for you outside~"
Yang Zhushuang, free of any psychological burden, stepped forward, ready to slip away.
Only to be caught by Yang Zhu.
"Did I say you could leave?"
She was always displeased with her younger brother Yang Zhushuang; seeing him shake the troop’s morale made her want to slap him.
But what Yang Zhushuang said was clearly what many of the weak truly thought.
Her siblings and some collateral members all gazed at Yang Zhu with pleading eyes.
"You... you all!"
