My descendants burn incense and worship me as a real immortal

Chapter 668 Epilogue (3)

Yang Genshuo just noticed it too.

"So many Golden Core cultivators! Why have they all joined the corpse-walking group?"

Yang Genshuo found it very strange. If Yang Minmin and other members of the Yang family were mostly ordinary members of the Yang family, they would be walking in complete darkness without the guidance of their ancestor or any other help.

It's indeed easy to fall into some traps, so it's normal that he was caught by the zombies later.

After all, their cultivation level was too low; in this world, any two random groups of bandits could easily wipe out their entire team.

But what about these later Golden Core stage cultivators?

What are they doing?
Their average strength is nowhere near as high as that of the Yang family!

With their abilities, even if they are unaware of some rules and encounter obstacles, their base is still there, making it unlikely that they will be captured by the zombies.

After the Yang family noticed this group of people, they all felt it was unbelievable.

Yang Zhu touched his chin.

“Logically speaking, after waiting outside the capital for so long, the people behind should have caught up. There are more than 200 Golden Core cultivators who have entered. Even if some died due to accidents or were delayed by detours on the way, most of them should have arrived in the capital alive by now.”

"But it seems like we're the only ones in the capital. Why haven't they entered the city?"

In this vast capital city, there were only outsiders like them. None of the Golden Core experts brought by the Ma family had entered, and instead appeared in the procession of the wandering corpses!

Something must have happened that we don't know about.

They thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Currently, information is severely lacking, and puzzle solvers have put forward several guesses, but it is unknown whether they are correct.

Currently, with the west gate of the capital as their base, the two sides are still in a standoff. The Nascent Soul stage experts have tested each other several times, but neither side has been able to defeat the other, and they have entered a tactical standoff. Gradually, they have all withdrawn their Heaven and Earth Dharma Forms.

Here are three generals of the Imperial Guard, and there are three commanders of the Corpse Flowing Army.

Separated by a wall, their eyes blazed with intense killing intent, neither willing to yield.

Outside the wall were countless corpses, while inside were well-equipped Imperial Guards—one more numerous, the other of higher quality.

Yang Genshuo compared the two sides and concluded that, on paper, it was really hard to say which side would definitely win.

Of course, this is after excluding the Golden Core cultivators brought by the Ma family.
"There are already 145 Golden Core cultivators outside, and we don't know if they will increase. If this force really attacks the city, the city will definitely not be able to withstand it."

Yang Min's eyes lit up as he said this.

"If the city gates open again, we'll disguise ourselves, find a way to rescue our people from the procession of corpses, and then run away, how about that?"

The second puzzle solver hesitated for a moment, then carefully chose his words: "Young Master, in that case, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage? And the scene would become extremely chaotic."

Seeing that Yang Min did not refute, Number 2 continued, "Once things get chaotic, the corpses and the Imperial Guards will be in a bloodthirsty frenzy. Before our rescue operation even begins, we might be wiped out in the chaos."

What number 2 said was exactly what Yang Genshuo had in mind.

"In that case, we might as well retreat first and see what fate has in store for them."

Instead of rescuing other members of the Yang family, it would be better to protect this group that has already worked together to this point.

Although it hurts, if Yang Genshuo really had to choose, he would still choose the Yang family members who have now gathered together.

"Well, then let's try to get out of the city and escape with them?"

"But nobody knows what's going on with the corpses. If they can't move freely, running away would be suicide."

"Damn it! We know nothing right now, so any plan we devise will be wrong!"

Yang Min, who had been very calm throughout the journey, suddenly became somewhat irritable.

Because Yang Minmin, whom he had taken care of since she was a child, was right across from him!

He's a crybaby in other people's eyes, but he's their biggest follower.
He officiated at Yang Minmin's wedding.

He couldn't just stand there helplessly, watching things spiral out of control.

At this moment, when the tension between the two sides reached its peak, two men with holes in their stomachs slowly floated by on the street not far behind them.

Yang Genshuo was looking around when he spotted the two figures.

"Hungry official!"

Good guy!
I've been looking for you two for ages, but you finally came out on your own!
"Yang Min, the starving officials are here, go find them!"

The appearance of the starving official at this time is definitely not without reason!
These two guys were the ones who issued the mission for this world. Now that they've delivered the food, it's not over yet. There must be some hidden thing they haven't done yet.

Whoosh!
Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min flew directly to the street behind them and arrested the two starving officials in front of a grain store.

"My lord! I am the transporter who brought the grain for you. The grain has now been delivered to the granary. Is there any reward for me?"

Yang Min decided to take advantage of the situation first, just in case there were some good things.
The two previously fierce and ruthless officials, whether suppressed by the aura of the imperial city or because they felt that Yang Min and Yang Qiangjin were stronger, no longer had the arrogant expressions they had before.

He put on airs and said, "You went to the main granary, so you must have encountered the God of Granaries, right?"

"Yes, we met Cang Jingkong and he almost killed us."

The starving official seemed to have anticipated this.

"The God of Cang has been bewitched by the thieves outside, which has provoked his anger, so naturally he is going to lash out at you. However, the fact that you were able to survive the God of Cang shows that you have some extraordinary abilities. I underestimated you. As for the reward you mentioned, the God of Cang has already given it to you. Why are you asking me for it?"

"So many of us transported grain for the adults, and we only had one treasure. And it was stolen from us. That doesn't make sense, does it?"

"Hehehe~ Everything you've gained along the way is the result of transporting grain, so how could you possibly have a single treasure? Don't be greedy~"

The starving official seemed to know what had happened to them along the way, and at this moment showed no intention of giving them any reward.

"Alright, if that's how it is, sir, we accept it. But the first treasure that Cang Jingkong gave us, the Flower of Abundance, was stolen by thieves, and the thieves have just been executed. We haven't found the item on the thieves. Could you please enlighten us, sir?"

These two starving officials clearly knew a lot.

"Well, this item has already left the city. If you want it, you'll have to find it yourselves."

"This"

Leaving the city means the items are already in the hands of the wandering corpses, making it too dangerous to retrieve them.

After a brief discussion, Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min both gave up the idea of ​​finding the treasure.

"Sir, now that we have completed our grain transport mission, can we leave?"

A major battle is about to break out, and so many members of the Yang family are at risk of being killed in this legendary land.

Upon hearing the word 'leave,' the two starving officials' faces immediately turned serious, and a faint green light emanated from their eyes.

"You want to leave?"

"Yes."

"With a formidable enemy at hand, if you can contribute to the defense of the city, His Majesty will surely reward you after you defeat the enemy. What treasures could you possibly lack?"

Ok?
A mission has arrived?

Yang Genshuo immediately realized why this story wasn't over!

There's also a Kingdom Defense War, right?

But this just won't do!

I have so many level 1 arrow towers and level 2 magic towers here, while the attackers over there are all bosses.
Even Crazy Dave wouldn't dare take this job! Yang Min clearly realized this as well, and immediately asked:

"My lord, we are of meager strength and are afraid we cannot be of much help. Considering that we have already completed the task of transporting grain for the imperial court, is there any other way out?"

The starving official nodded, and a yellow book appeared in his hand, already filled with text and images, almost to the last few pages.

"You should think this through. If you leave now, you will never be able to come back. This immense wealth will have nothing to do with you. Didn't you come here to seek an opportunity?"

"Opportunities only count as opportunities if you're alive to seize them; otherwise, they're just burial goods."

Yang Min has to send all these people from his side out!
This is his biggest reason for coming here.

"Since that's the case, I'll now give you two options."

"The first rule is to end your grain transport route, take the treasures you have acquired, and leave this world, never to return."

"The second option is to receive the dynasty's blessing, become a member of the city's garrison, protect the dynasty, and seize a great opportunity."

Which path would you choose?

The yellow register in the starving official's hand emitted a dazzling light, from which countless words shot out, forming two different images in the air.

One image shows the world outside the City of Light, while the other shows the city gates of that world.

Yang Min sensed that he only needed to lightly touch the first card to leave this legendary place.

Seeing this, Yang Genshuo was finally able to put his mind at ease.

"Finally, I can leave. It was a close call."

At least most of the Yang family members were saved.

Behind Yang Min, a large number of Yang family members also showed relieved smiles.

"Finally, I can leave. It's so painful to be unable to control your own destiny."

"This level of legendary land is too difficult for us Foundation Establishment cultivators. A slight mistake could lead to certain death. Fortunately, we were able to leave safely thanks to the protection of our elders."

"Although this legendary land is dangerous, it can indeed provide opportunities. Even I obtained a rare mortal-level treasure that perfectly suits my abilities and will greatly benefit my breakthrough to the Golden Core stage! After leaving, I will go into seclusion to consume it."

"Having gone through this ordeal, I now realize how important the ancestor's protection is to the family. If it weren't for the ancestor's guidance, I would have died long ago. After I get out, I will burn incense and make offerings to the ancestor for a month to express my sincerity."

"Yes, yes! I used to think that the immortal ancestor was just a rumor made up by my elders. I never thought that the ancestor would actually help us!"

"Now I finally understand why my great-grandfather, a mere mortal, was able to slay a Golden Core dragon!"

"With our ancestor here, how can our Yang family not become the number one immortal clan in the world?"

After relaxing, almost all the Yang family members expressed their gratitude for their ancestor's care for the Yang family.

Even though many of the collateral descendants could not hear the ancestor's voice, they felt the same way as the ancestor who had guided them to good fortune and avoid misfortune along the way, and they agreed to offer incense to the ancestor together after they left.

Yang Qiangjin's face, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxed.

She patted her daughter Li Minsi's head.

"Thank you, Ancestor, thank you, Father, for your protection."

But Li Minsi's face showed worry.

"Mother, but Minmin is still outside and hasn't come back yet. Are we just going to leave like this?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

Yes, they were saved, but what about their families outside the city?
They are all infected, and if they don't receive treatment or leave this world, they will become the world's walking corpses.
Those are all my family members!
Li Minsi is the sixteenth son of the fourth generation of the Yang family.

Li Minmin was the fifteenth child, only three years older than her.

Although Li Minmin was a crybaby when she was young, she always played with Li Minsi. Even when she was scared to tears by her two tough older brothers, she still didn't forget to let Li Minsi steal some spiritual fruit from home to eat.

The two are actually half-sisters!

Just like Yang Qiangjin and Yang Qiangwei.

"Ancestor, please save Sister Minmin! She was such a good person. She shouldn't have died here."

Yang Joo-bin immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the sky.

"Please, Ancestor, save my mother! I'm willing to do anything for you, even give my life for hers!"

The two people's pleas for help silenced everyone present.

They are all a family living in the same city. Even if they have different factions and different ideas, they are still a family bound by blood.

Who could bear to do that?

"Children, I am sorry. My power can only be used on my family who believe in me."

Yang Genshuo had no choice.

He can't even operate the equipment anymore, let alone communicate with the people on the other side.

"Why don't we stay here and defend the city? We can find an opportunity to rescue them! I'm skilled in formations, and I brought many miniature formation pieces that I developed myself. If we can set them up in advance, we might be able to put up a fight!"

Yang Zhu helped Yang Zhubin up.

"Little brother, don't be afraid, I'll help you."

As the eldest daughter of five generations of the Yang family, she received the same education as Yang Min from a young age, and she had to stand up and bear the burden.

Even though she wasn't very strong, she still had to stand up.

When Yang Minke saw his daughter step forward, he felt a little reluctant, but he knew that this was what his daughter should do.

He gave Yang Zhu an encouraging look.

“Xiaozhu is right. With the blessing of the imperial court, we might become even stronger. I support bringing our family home so we can travel together again.”

The two of them got so emotional that many other members of the Yang family were also put on hold.

At this point, leaving is not an option, nor is staying.

"Hey, aren't you guys using moral blackmail?"

Yang Genshuo shook his head, feeling that Yang Zhu still lacked some consideration.

But people without morals obviously won't buy into this.

"Eldest sister, fourth uncle, you can stay if you want, but I have to go. My father is waiting for me outside. My cultivation level isn't much of a help anyway, so I'll wait for you outside~"

Yang Zhushuang felt no guilt whatsoever and stepped forward, ready to make a run for it.

Then Yang Zhu grabbed him and pulled him back.

"Did I let you go?"

She had always disliked Yang Zhushuang, her younger brother, and now that she saw him undermining morale, she wanted nothing more than to slap him a few times.

But what Yang Zhushuang said clearly reflects the true thoughts of many people with lower cultivation levels.

Her younger siblings and some members of the collateral branches looked at Yang Zhu with pleading eyes.

"You guys!"
