Chapter 669 Epilogue (4)

Yang Zhu was furious with her good-for-nothing younger siblings!
Especially Yang Zhushuang, who was leading the group, her eyes turned angry.

“Yang Zhushuang, someone like you would have been beheaded long ago in the Tianlong Army.”

General Yang Minke, the second-in-command of the Tianlong Army, nodded to himself and gave Yang Zhu a thumbs up.

The more adverse the situation, the greater the panic caused by those who undermine morale!
If an effective strategy is not adopted immediately, the entire army will be incited.

If any other soldier from the Heavenly Dragon Army had said those words, their head would be rolling on the ground by now.

"Big sister, this is so unfair. Can't I even tell the truth? You're a Golden Core cultivator, so you can fight. What am I, a Qi Refining cultivator, supposed to do against you? I know you've always disliked me, but isn't it a bit too heartless to send your younger siblings to their deaths?"

"How dare you say that!"

A golden light appeared on Yang Zhu's hand, and her Nirvana Realm strength was unleashed!
It was clear that Yang Zhu was about to teach Yang Zhushuang a lesson to establish his authority.

Yang Qiangjin sighed and reached out to stop Yang Zhu.

"Alright, Xiaozhu."

“Although your brother lacks backbone, what he said makes some sense. You have all witnessed battles of this level before; it’s not something you can help with just because you want to.”

“Minke, besides me and your elder brother, you are the strongest here. You should take charge of leading them away and home. They need you there too.”

Yang Zhushuang had been covering her head, bracing herself for a beating, but upon hearing Yang Qiangjin's words, she stood up with a grin.

"Grandma's mind is still the clearest. Yang Zhu, Yang Zhu, as the eldest sister, stop just building muscles and not using your brain all day. Study hard!"

Bang!
Yang Zhushuang was punched by Yang Zhu and sent flying, rolling 20 meters on the ground before coming to a stop.

"Useless trash," Yang Zhu said coldly.

Yang Zhushuang spat out a mouthful of blood, lost two teeth, covered his twitching left cheek, gritted his teeth and stood up, his eyes filled with resentment.
Then, under Yang Zhu's threatening gaze, he silently lowered his head and walked back step by step.

Yang Zhu continued, "I am a Nirvana Realm martial artist, and I have many miniature array fragments that can assist you in defending the city. Let them go, and let's work together to rescue people!"

After hearing this, Yang Genshuo looked at Yang Zhu with newfound respect.

"Although she is a woman, her sense of responsibility is no less than Yang Min's; Yang Min has done a good job educating her."

The eldest son of each generation in the Yang family seems to be quite good.

Yang Shi, a great hero; Yang Fu, as steady as Mount Tai; Yang Qiang, who silently dedicates himself; Yang Min, a fierce protector of his younger brother (sister); and Yang Zhu, with the pure heart of a child.

“Laoshi, did you see that? These children are all excellent, they have tarnished your reputation.”

But Yang Qiangjin clearly didn't want Yang Zhu to stay.

"Nonsense! You've only just broken through to the first level of Nirvana this year. Your realm is unstable and your steps are unsteady. If you want to interfere in our battle, you'll need to train for several more decades."

"I have miniature arrays!"

"Give it to me, I just set this up casually."

"But my research on formations..."

At this moment, the puzzle solver #6 said, "I usually work in the formation department and have quite a bit of knowledge about formations. I can replace Miss Yang Zhu. Please go back."

Number 9: "My demon slave is also quite powerful and can assist Lord Yang Qiangjin in battle."

Number 15: "We have come with the mission of taking away the story. The story is not yet over, and our mission is not yet complete. Gentlemen and ladies, please return. We will do our best to assist Lord Qiangjin and Lord Yangmin!"

The decipherers all expressed their intention to stay.

Yang Qiangjin nodded.

“My mind is made up, Minke. Take them away. I, Yang Min, and the other decipherers will do our best to bring them back.”

Yang Qiangjin really wanted Yang Min to leave as well, but she knew that Yang Min's true strength was above hers, and if Yang Min left, she really wasn't confident she could save the person.

She could only keep Yang Min.

Moreover, she knew that no matter what she said, Yang Min would never abandon his sister.

But after these two options were presented, Yang Min remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.
After Yang Qiangjin silenced all other dissenting voices.

Yang Min seemed to have made up his mind, and said, word by word:

"Aunt, I think your arrangements are inappropriate."

"Even if you and I stay here, we still have no chance of winning against those outside. This capital city will surely fall."

"Although you puzzle solvers have come with a mission, don't waste your time on something that will surely lead to your death. Your talents and abilities can still be used in the next legendary land. Let me take this final step."

"Everyone else, leave, but I will stay."

After Yang Min finished speaking, everyone was shocked!

Number 2 said, "No! One person's strength is limited. Even if it's Young Master Yang Min, your energy is not enough to do everything."

Number 6: "I agree with some of Young Master Yang Min's points. Lady Qiang Jin, you should also leave. The enemy's strength is far inferior to ours. We cannot succeed by force. We need to outsmart them."

Number 14: "In short, we will definitely follow you to the very end!"

Number 9: "The training we received doesn't allow us to be deserters!"

The puzzle solvers were very determined.

Yang Qiangjin was also very puzzled.

"Yang Min, if you had just hardened your heart and said we should all go together and share the torment of our conscience, that would have been fine. Or you could have saved me together. Why did you have to put me in such a heartless position? In your eyes, is your aunt someone who is afraid of death?"

Yang Min took a deep breath.

“Aunt, Yang Min did not mean that. You are an elder I respect. When you were fighting for the family, I was just playing around with ground spikes. I just have a better way to save all of us.”

"Ok?"

Everyone looked on with puzzled expressions.

Is it really possible to do this given the current situation?

There were over a hundred Golden Core cultivators outside, mingling with the corpses, waiting for an opportunity to break through the city gate.

The imperial court's power was only about equal to that of the wandering corpses.

In other words, the Yang family must face these more than one hundred Golden Core cultivators. Yang Min is very strong, but there are also strong people of the same level on the other side. No matter how you look at it, this is an impossible task!
Yang Min held out his palm: "Auntie, please give me the Flower of Greed."

Yang Qiangjin was slightly taken aback, and then her expression changed drastically.

"You must be here."

"This is my only option."

"But it's too dangerous here, your savings are really..."

"Believe me, I will definitely save my sister."

Yang Min's tone carried a convincing confidence; if he couldn't do it, then perhaps no one else could.

This scene made Yang Genshuo feel as if he were seeing Yang Shi from the past.

Even if I lack the ability, I dare to take a gamble!
A mortal body, yet the sword cleaves through the golden core!
As they continued to argue, the starving official grew impatient.

"To leave or not to leave? If you still can't decide, then you may all stay."

Yang Min said, "There's no time to lose. Listen to me this once. As the eldest son of the fourth generation of the Yang family, I demand that all of you leave here immediately!"

"Yang Minke, take them away!"

Yang Minke clenched his fist and shouted, "Yes! Big Brother!"

"go!"

He pulled Yang Zhu up, tossed him into the yellow book, and Yang Zhu's figure vanished completely from this world. The next moment, Yang Zhu appeared outside Bright City.

"father!"

Yang Zhu slapped the ground in frustration, hating her father for ambushing her.

Yang Zhu was thrown out, and the other members of the Yang family whose strength was below the Golden Core stage no longer held back. They all left the legendary White Granary under Yang Minke's command.

The collateral branches of the Yang family and the Tianlong Army also left together.

The puzzle solvers still had something to say, but Yang Min didn't give them a chance to speak.

"Do you still remember the leader's orders? When she's not around, whose orders are you to obey unconditionally?"

The puzzle solvers lowered their heads: "We will obey Lord Yang Min's orders."

"Alright, I order you to leave here immediately!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Yang Qiangjing had already made arrangements for the transition of the Da Nai Empire. If anything happened to her, her successor would be Yang Min.

Yang Min is not in Bright City, far from the center of power, but as long as he is there, he is the successor of the Great Nai Empire.

This was the ancestor's long-held wish, and it is what Yang Min deserves.

His abilities justify his position.

Yang Genshuo only then realized that Yang Qiangjing had secretly made arrangements for her own funeral, so that if anything happened to her, Yang Min could seamlessly take over her political legacy.

This was a secret plan, and it could be said that no one knew about it except for Yang Qiangjing's core team and Yang Qiangjin and Yang Qiangwei.

The puzzle solvers were a special forces unit trained by Yang Qiangjing, and naturally, everyone knew this.

With Yang Qiangjing not here, Yang Min has complete authority over them.

Soon the puzzle solvers left, as did the Yang family, their collateral relatives, and the Tianlong Army.

Only Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min remained.

Yang Qiangjin pursed her lips, but didn't say anything more sentimental. She took out the red [Flower of Greed] from her storage ring and placed it in Yang Min's hand.

"Survive."

With a light leap, it jumped into the yellow book and disappeared.

The starving official chuckled softly upon seeing this.

"Since you have decided to stay, I will bestow upon you the blessing of royalty."

Another yellow page was lit, and a wisp of golden mist burst forth from it, enveloping Yang Min.

His unhealed injuries from his previous battle with Cang Jingkong were completely restored under this aura, and his spiritual power was forcibly increased.

Finally, the golden mist slowly gathered around Yang Min, transforming into a set of golden imperial guard armor.

[Your descendant Yang Min receives the Royal Blessing – War of Defense: His physical and spiritual power are significantly enhanced, his recovery ability is greatly increased, and he obtains the Defense Armor, which can consume national fortune to provide defense. After defeating enemies, he can absorb their power to strengthen the armor. If he wins and protects the country, all those who receive the blessing will enjoy royal rewards.]

"Hmm, not bad, a very comprehensive positive buff."

"It can also be combined with my blessing."

But this is not the point.

After seeing everyone off, Yang Min found a quiet place, took out the Flower of Greed, and it floated in front of him, emitting a deep red light.

The Flower of Greed

[Rank: Heavenly Rare Treasure]

[Attribute: None]

[This flower of greed, which embodies the will of countless people who leeched off the granaries of the ancient Da Nai Dynasty, has brought misfortune and disaster to the dynasty. Its formation signifies the dynasty's decay and possesses the power to incite evil in people's hearts. It is of great help to cultivators in forming their own domains.]

[After refining, one can gain a large amount of cultivation power, greatly increase the strength of their divine sense, and gain great resistance to all soul control spells. Future cultivation of soul-related spells will be twice as effective.]

This item can be used by cultivators at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, greatly increasing the success rate.

A treasure that can help a Golden Core cultivator at the Great Perfection stage break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Ancestor, the power of the Golden Core stage is limited. Only by breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage can I secure a glimmer of hope for my family. This is my plan."

Yang Genshuo actually guessed what Yang Min was going to do when Yang Min asked Yang Qiangjin for the "Flower of Greed".

"Yang Min, are you ready?"

Yang Min nodded.

“Ancestor, I have been preparing for many years. Even if I hadn’t come here, I would probably have gone to the Lingmiao Continent within ten years to try to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. This is just a little earlier than expected. But with the addition of the [Flower of Greed], my chances have increased a lot.”

"In that case, do what you think is right! I'll be watching you."

"Thank you, ancestor!"

With the support of the ancestor, Yang Min stopped wasting words and directly used his cultivation technique to devour the [Flower of Greed].

There's no time to lose; the situation could change at any moment!

A burst of intense red light emanated from the flower, instantly enveloping the surrounding area in a crimson domain.

A large amount of spiritual energy entered Yang Min's body, causing his spiritual energy, which had already reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, to rise again!

The perfectly round golden core had already filled the entire dantian and was now being fiercely impacted by the overflowing spiritual energy!
Click~click~
A crack appeared on the golden core, as if something was about to break through.

Yang Genshuo couldn't help but clench his hands upon seeing this.

"Yang Min is attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm! This is the first time I've ever witnessed a member of the Yang family attempting to reach this level."

"Look closely, I might need it someday."

This experience will be of great help to him in the future.

Of course, Yang Genshuo is only at the Foundation Establishment stage now, and it is unknown how long it will take before he reaches the Nascent Soul stage.

However, Yang Genshuo was certain that he would reach that level.

As the Yang family members' cultivation levels rise, and many of the world's secret treasures are unearthed, their low aptitude, which was originally an obstacle, will be improved by various treasures. There are even treasures specifically designed to help them break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"I hope Yang Min can break through smoothly."

While Yang Genshuo was focused on Yang Min's breakthrough, the corpses outside the city had begun to move, forming a different formation.

"If we capture the capital and occupy this place, you will all be founding fathers! You will be rewarded handsomely!"

"Once you all evolve to be like us, you will receive our power and blessings."

"Let us advance and destroy this rotten dynasty!"

The general of the Flowing Corpses rallied the troops, and they charged once again.

Yang Minmin and some other members of the Yang family in the group were also swept up and rushed toward the city wall of the capital.

Their eyes were lifeless.

"Someone, please save us!"

"Father, Mother, I will never see you again."

"Brother, I'm so scared."
