Chapter 625 of the story

In Yang Qiangjing's original plan, there were only two possibilities.

One possibility is that the puzzle solvers go down together, successfully reunite with Yang Zhu and the others, and lead them onto the right path.

Another method involves the puzzle solvers entering a space separate from Yang Zhu and the others. They solve the puzzles on their own, then bring the story back and pass it on to Yang Zhu and the others who are already inside through the Ancestor, allowing them to successfully complete the game.

Moreover, because Yang Zhushuang insisted on going in, it would actually allow the ancestor to see the progress over there in real time, allowing Yang Zhu and the others to catch up.

But now, a third situation has emerged for them.

This is also the worst-case scenario.

They entered in large numbers and were dispersed into many villages in groups of 10.

The 30 puzzle solvers were completely separated!

It wasn't three groups of ten, but rather completely shuffled within the ranks of hundreds of people!

This is the worst-case scenario!

After hearing what the ancestor said, Yang Qiangjing immediately understood what had happened.
"Once the puzzle solvers are separated, they will be unable to share information and will be unable to avoid mistakes. Thirty solvers might make the same mistake 30 times, and then perish together, a meaningless demise!"

With Yang Qiangjing's intelligence, she had already devised a battle plan for the decipherers.

She trains these people for teamwork.

No matter how smart they are or how many ways they have to deal with a problem, they all share a core logic: risking their lives for the right answer.

If there are two paths to choose from, they will let one person choose the one that is most likely to succeed. Only if the person passes through safely or without encountering danger will the others follow.

If the person who leaves first encounters an accident and triggers some kind of punishment, then only that person needs to die, and the other 29 people will all walk to the right path.

Every problem and every choice they encountered afterward was the same; 30 people risked their lives to forge the right path!
This is Yang Qiangjing's cruel yet efficient method for clearing the legendary land.

Now, the 30 puzzle solvers are separated and scattered in various places, rendering her battle strategy ineffective, and the puzzle solvers are unable to work as a team.

Yang Genshuo was also a little confused.

He could see some of the decipherers through the Yang family's perspective, but most of these hundreds of people were from collateral branches of the Yang family or members of the Heavenly Dragon Army. In some places, there wasn't a single person of Yang family blood, so he couldn't see them either.

He can only see 22 puzzle solvers here; the other 8 are completely out of contact.

“Xiao Jing, I will communicate with the Yang family and the 22 puzzle solvers we can find. They can still implement your strategy, but there will be one more step.”

Yang Qiangjing nodded.

"It's fortunate that you, Ancestor, are here, otherwise, we would have been completely defeated this time."

If the patriarch is not around, this will be the biggest crisis the Yang family has faced in a century.

With the old ancestor present, Yang Qiangjing felt much more at ease.

At this moment, she turned around to see who was left in the Yang family.
"Ok?"

She saw Yang Minrui, she saw Yang Minyong, and she also saw the people who were always around Yang Minrui.
Of the remaining members of the Yang family, besides her and Yang Qiangwei, only Yang Minrui's people remained.

Coincidence? Or...?
Yang Qiangjing didn't say much, but instead started looking for the two most crucial people.

"Ancestor, have you seen my sister and Yang Min?"

"With their combined strength, there's no way they can't escape!"

Yang Qiangjin is a half-step Nascent Soul realm expert who is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Despite his young age, Yang Min's cultivation level is comparable to Yang Qiangjin's. However, he usually keeps a low profile, and few people know the extent of his skill.

In an era when Yang Fu doesn't take action, these two are now the strongest members of the Yang family in the Da Nai Empire.

They can definitely evade it.

How could it possibly disappear!

Yang Qiangjing felt there was definitely something wrong!

"Ugh"

A sigh came from the sky.

"The two of them went in by themselves."

"why?"

"Because of her daughter, Li Minsi. Your sister could have escaped, but in order to save her, they were both enveloped in the light of the Yellow Book and entered the legendary land."

Yang Qiangjing is right. With Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min's abilities, they could have easily escaped. It was their own choice to enter.

In order to save her daughter, Yang Qiangjin, seeing that there were too many people shrouded in the light, decided not to run away and walked into the yellow light himself, leaving a message for Yang Genshuo.

"Ancestor, tell my grandfather that I want to face difficulties with my family. If I meet with misfortune, let Xiaoxing go with him to live on the Lingmiao Continent."

Yang Zhuxing, Yang Min's only son.

After he grew up, he was placed with his grandfather (who was also his maternal grandfather) Yang Fu and practiced cultivation under Yang Fu's guidance.
Yang Zhuxing inherited his family's high talent, and his strength is unparalleled among the fifth generation.

Yang Min knew that the Great Nai Empire was no longer suitable for nurturing a descendant of the Yang family who practiced asceticism. He was likely to be corrupted by the extravagant lifestyle that came with this high status, and end up like the children born to his younger siblings, who were of low status.

On the contrary, the town of Zhenbian where Yang Fu lives remains pure and has a strong tradition of cultivation.

They have the ferocious Spirit Devouring Clan to contend with, and the cultivators there are all seasoned veterans, making it a cradle for nurturing a good cultivator.

Yang Min didn't go because he still needed to stay here and help look after the Da Nai Empire.
His strength was also an important part of the empire, deterring many people from different places who came to the Great Nai Empire.

This was his mission as the eldest son of the fourth generation, and Yang Feng had specifically instructed him on it before he left.
Therefore, Yang Min was willing to enter the legendary land to protect his family once again.

"Ah, this is Yang Min's pure and innocent heart."

After telling Yang Fu about Yang Min's situation, Yang Genshuo was quite moved.

In the now materially abundant Yang family, it is truly rare to find a pure cultivator like Yang Min.

These days, Yang Genshuo has seen too much of the messy stuff that the fourth and fifth generations of the Yang family have done, and he's starting to miss the pure Yang family of the past.

“Ancestor, this is what he should do. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight. He is the successor we are grooming, and he must have this responsibility and commitment. Ancestor, tell him that I approve of what he is doing. Xiaoxing is with me. Don’t worry. Just break the deadlock.”

Yang Min was chosen by Yang Genshuo, Yang Fu, Yang Qiangjing, and others a hundred years ago as the successor of the Yang family and the next head of the family.

Although he never got involved in the political landscape of the Yang family, his detached status was highly respected by all the fourth and fifth generation children of the Yang family.

Yang Zhuxing, Yang Min's only son.

Yang Zhu is the second son in the fifth generation of the Yang family.

Although he was not the eldest of the fifth generation of the Yang family, he was the one with the highest cultivation level among them.

Yang Zhu broke through to the Nirvana Realm last year and became a Nirvana Realm martial artist, but his realm is still at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and has not yet reached the Golden Core stage.

Yang Zhuxing, on the other hand, had already reached the third level of the Golden Core stage and was a genius among the fifth generation of the Yang family.

He spent most of his time cultivating in the border town and rarely concerned himself with the affairs of the Great Nai Empire.

Yang Genshuo has seen him; he's a very special person.
"It's good that you know. I'm going to keep an eye on them now. Call me if you need anything."

"Understood, Ancestor."

Yang Fu's expression was solemn.

"The legendary land... how could it appear there?" In recent years, Yang Fu had been pursuing opportunities. Besides the Liushui tribe in the Lieyang Dynasty, he had also ventured into two legendary lands on the Lingmiao Continent that did not have complete stories. Each time, he was extremely dangerous.

The conditions for unlocking each legendary land are also quite unique, as they are based on ancient legends.
He had lived in the Dana Kingdom for many years and did not remember the ancient legend there called "White Granary".

Where did this story originate?

Yang Fu was at a loss for a moment, but he felt that something was wrong with the appearance of this legendary place.

He pondered for a moment, then his divine sense penetrated the town's borders.

"Xiaoxing, come here, I have something to tell you."

The legendary land, the White Granary.

The place was in complete chaos. Yang Genshuo's field of vision was filled with a large number of Yang family members, making it extremely difficult for him to process these images and information.

"No. My spiritual sense isn't strong enough; I can't observe so many people at the same time. Forcing myself to observe them will exhaust me quickly."

Yang Genshuo could only focus his energy on a few key shots.

He roughly counted the people he could see.

Among them, there are 85 descendants of the Yang family, and a total of 403 people from collateral branches of the Yang family and the Tianlong Army.

But there is another group of people in places he cannot see.

Yang Qiangjing counted that a total of 680 people had gone missing.

"That means there are 182 people who are not in my field of vision."

There are a huge number of people!
This makes the already eerie legendary land even more difficult to manage.

Moreover, the most difficult thing is that Yang Genshuo cannot focus on his 85 descendants, as his spiritual consciousness is not strong enough.

"The most urgent task is to allocate our limited spiritual energy to key individuals; one group should keep an eye on one person."

"We need to keep an eye on Yang Zhu and her group."

"Next is Yang Qiangjin and Li Minsi's group. They eventually entered here hand in hand, which can be considered as Yang Qiangjin's wish being fulfilled."

"Yang Min's side received five fifth-generation descendants of the Yang family and four collateral relatives, but it seems that he is the only one who can fight."

"Yang Zhushuang was quite lucky; he got two puzzle solvers, three lackeys, and four Heavenly Dragon Army soldiers."

There were many other members, but Yang Geun-suk didn't check them one by one.

He could only focus on these few teams and then check on the other teams from time to time.

Upon entering the legendary land, they were automatically divided into groups of ten.

Yang Zhu and her group of five entered, and then another five people were assigned to them.

One puzzle solver and four collateral relatives, upon seeing each other, all respectfully bowed with their hands clasped.
"Greetings, Miss Yang Zhu."

The eldest daughter of the fifth generation is someone that the collateral branches must curry favor with.

Although the puzzle solver's strength is only at the late Foundation Establishment stage, the puppet he brings is a powerful demon at the Golden Core stage, possessing extremely strong abilities.

"You're...my aunt's person?"

Yang Zhu immediately realized what was going on when he saw the man's unusual attire and the puppet he was carrying.

"Yes, we have received Lady Yang Qiangjing's orders to come and unravel the story of the legendary land 'White Granary'. Next, I will take command of the team. Please stand behind me until I die."

They are both puzzle solvers and assassins, born to take on the most dangerous missions for the Yang family.

Yang Zhu had naturally heard of Yang Qiangjing's army. It was they who conquered the Liushui tribe back then, allowing the Yang family to safely bring out various treasures from it every five years.

They had achieved some success, and Yang Zhu was not an ungrateful person.

He simply glanced briefly at the sky.

"Ancestor? Are you still there?"

"Do as he says. We're in big trouble this time."

Yang Genshuo told Yang Qiangjing about the unusual events outside, and the other relatives quickly added more details.

"It's terrifying. We were so far away, but we were enveloped by the light of that yellow book and couldn't escape. When we opened our eyes again, we were already inside."

"My strength is not high. I don't know if I will be a burden to Miss Yang Zhu."

"How about we tell each other our names and strengths? That way, it'll be easier for everyone to cooperate. My name is Li Yinuo, and Li Fan is my great-grandfather. I specialize in healing and spirit summoning. I'm a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, a support-type wood-elemental cultivator."

"Oh~ I've heard of you. It's rare to see someone cultivate like you. If you only know healing techniques, won't you have to rely on others for everything in the future?"

Yang Zhu had heard of Li Yinuo, but he rarely interacted with her.

After all, the two were not on the same level; one was a leader in the Heavenly Crafts Department, and the other was a lowly soldier in the Spiritual Plant Department. Their lives and work did not intersect.

"Please take care of me in the future~ I hope we can go out together."

Li Yinuo, on the other hand, was quite optimistic and didn't seem to think that the place was that scary.

At this moment, the puzzle solver said approvingly, "Miss Li Yinuo's approach is excellent. I also need to know your names and abilities to facilitate my next arrangements."

"Yang Zhu, a spiritual martial arts cultivator, has reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage of the Nirvana Realm and is skilled in martial arts and formations."

"Yang Zhudang specializes in water-based techniques, is in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and is skilled in water-based moves."

"Yang Zhuyu, Wind type."

"Yang Zhuyi, Wood element."

"."

Everyone introduced their abilities, and the puzzle solver, while walking around, replied:
"We are all assigned numbers internally to make it easier for Lady Yang Qiangjing to remember. I am number six, you can just call me number six. I am good at solving puzzles and surviving."

“I just took a look around. My teammates and I have completely separated. We have to rely on ourselves now. I have some ideas about the food transport mission you mentioned.”

Puzzle Solver Number Six already has an idea.

Those who landed elsewhere also encountered starving officials carrying yellow books. Fortunately, they knew in advance how Yang Zhu would deal with them, so they did not confront the starving officials and accepted the task of transporting grain, thus avoiding being hunted down.

"In the first stage, as long as you don't resist, it's fine to take on the task of delivering grain to the imperial court. I've already said this outside, and anyone who can hear my voice knows what to do."

So the landing was relatively peaceful, and no one was killed.

Yang Genshuo shifted his gaze to Yang Qiangjin and Li Minsi, the mother and daughter.

Accompanying the two of them was another puzzle solver, Number Eleven, who stopped the Hungry Official after accepting the mission.

"Sir, please wait!"

He pulled out a thick bag of spirit stones and gave it to the gaunt, starving official, which earned him a terrifying smile in return.

"My lord, I have never traveled far from home. I cannot delay the grain supply needed by the court. May I ask where the capital is and how I can get there?"

"Keep heading south along this road."

Taking the initiative during the National Day holiday yielded valuable intelligence!
