Chapter 1100: Chapter 626: Dragged Into the Water!

"Is it a Legendary Land created by ancient legends, or the legend itself spreading out from the Legendary Land... to this day, we have no conclusion."

"If we don’t know the story... no one can predict what will appear in a Legendary Land. In other words... anything might appear, even if it defies common sense, as long as it is self-consistent within that story, then it will exist."

"For example, the ’Hungry Officials’ with no realm; you can’t use magic to defeat them, but you can bribe them with hundreds of Mid Grade Spirit Stones to evade their pursuit... this is the rule of the legend named ’White Grain Warehouse’ where they reside."

"And to complete this story, you must follow the rules of this world, step by step to the end of the story, otherwise... you will be forever trapped in the Legendary Land."

Yang Qiangjing paused the Yang Family’s ancestral worship ceremony and discussed with Yang Genshuo the origin and rules of this Legendary Land.

"Yang Zhu said the Legendary Land is extremely dangerous, and one out of ten who enter survives. But I see you go to the ’Liushui Tribe Legend’ every five years, and it’s always very safe, everyone is eager to go, is there some trick? Looking back in history, I see our Yang Family didn’t suffer any casualties back then..."

This Legendary Land has been around for about 50 years, located at the border between the Danai Dynasty and the Fierce Sun Dynasty, and the Yang Family has gained considerable resources from within.

Some of the Miracle Treasures capable of reconstructing one’s Spirit Root were found in there.

And even more precious treasures are stored in the Yang Family’s warehouse.

Hearing this, Yang Qiangjing and Yang Qiangwei exchanged a glance...

"Ancestor... the first people who entered back then were not our Yang Family members, they were a group of puzzlers I sent to specifically strategize within the Legendary Land. Some of them made it out alive from inside... and brought back the ’story,’ after our people knew the story, there was no danger."

"I see..."

Yang Genshuo sighed without saying much more.

A few light words from Yang Qiangjing, not knowing how many cultivators died to clear the ’Liushui Tribe Legend’...

She is someone who can use any means without burdens.

For such dangerous matters, she would pile human lives into it but would not sacrifice the lives of the Yang Family members.

This is Yang Qiangjing’s policy of prioritizing the Yang Family’s interests...

If it were Yang Fu, Yang Genshuo believes he would definitely not act this way.

He would rather go in himself.

"So, if they don’t know the story, what should they do?"

Yang Qiangjing calmly said:

"Ancestor, have them stand by, I... will send someone to clear the way for them. Once my people bring out the ’story,’ they can follow the ’story’ to take the right path."

Yang Qiangwei also nodded: "Ancestor, perhaps our methods are not honorable, but... it’s a way to protect our family, and I’m willing to do it, I’m also good at it."

Yang Qiangjing can’t accomplish this much alone, while Yang Qiangwei, who practiced the Soul Hooking and Soul Stealing technique to Golden Core Perfection over a hundred years... she will assist Yang Qiangjing in accomplishing all this.

Hearing the two sisters’ words, Yang Genshuo felt a kind of... unspeakable feeling.

He knew this was the right way, maximizing benefits, but... it just didn’t feel right.

Especially regarding Yang Qiangwei.

He wasn’t sure if Yang Qiangwei became like this due to Yang Qiangjing’s influence or his own persuasion back then... or if it was just her nature.

Sending people to die as cannon fodder for the Yang Family... it’s not noble.

It’s rather sordid.

"Is this the current Yang Family..."

While Yang Genshuo was contemplating what to do, over a patch of Spirit Field in the Devil Wind Forest, Yang Zhushuang led a group of young experts from the collateral branches.

"How did we lose track... where’s Yang Zhu?"

"I clearly saw them come this way... how did they disappear?"

"Could it be some underground Secret Realm? Let’s search around?"

"Huh? There’s a book here..."

Yang Genshuo immediately noticed them.

"Is it that book that lures Yang Zhu and others into the Legendary Land!?"

"If I could read it, wouldn’t I directly know the story, and not need to sacrifice people?"

Here, Yang Genshuo couldn’t maintain his mystery any longer; he had to manifest immediately!

"Don’t pick it up! This thing is suspicious! Let me..."

Before Yang Genshuo could finish, Yang Zhushuang directly took a big step and grabbed the book.

"Who’s pretending to be mysterious, trying to steal my fortune?"

"I’ll pick it up, I’ll pick it up!"

"Did you hear a voice just now? Where was it?"

Yang Zhushuang looked around; the others seemed clueless.

His four attendants are the fifth generation descendants of the Yang Family who completely don’t believe in the ancestor, and the 10 collateral members couldn’t see it at all.

Yang Zhushuang paused, then scratched his head.

"Could it be the voice from the book... Yang Zhu is good with arrays; maybe she left something behind to trap me."

But the book in his hands seemed to have some magic power, tempting him to open and read it...

Damn!

Yang Genshuo sensed Yang Zhushuang was about to make a mistake, so he immediately transformed a large golden hand in the sky.

"Reverse descendant! You don’t even listen to the ancestor!?"

Slap!

The slap on Yang Zhushuang’s face, although as gentle as the wind, this divine intervention directly stunned Yang Zhushuang and also freed him from the book’s control, clearing his vision.

[Blessing: Calm Heart]

A classic golden light directly enveloped him, significantly improving Yang Zhushuang’s condition.

At this moment, he was no longer silly but remembered his father, Yang Minrui’s teachings.

His father believed in the ancestor’s existence.

Yang Zhushuang, although born, acknowledges the ancestor’s existence, so Yang Genshuo could see through his perspective.

"Ancestor???"

He was directly amazed!

How did doing a small thing alarm the ancestor?

At this time, Yang Genshuo didn’t talk much with him, focusing on the yellowed book that Yang Zhushuang held, where three large characters were written:

"White Grain Warehouse."

"That’s it!"

Yang Genshuo found the key to Yang Zhu entering, this book!

[Item: Legendary Story]

[Grade: None]

[This book is the key to opening the Legendary Land ’White Grain Warehouse’; holding this book at the grain warehouse location mentioned in the legend allows one to enter the Legendary Land ’White Grain Warehouse’...]

[Storyline: In the ancient times of the Danai Dynasty, the court’s Five Mansions required tribute of glutinous rice and other "White Grain," and the Deregistration Officials needed to transport it at their own expense to the Capital....]

[Story Characters: Hungry Officials....?]

[Story Rules: Bribe the Hungry Officials...???]

What Yang Genshuo saw was an abridged version of the story; it contained only the opening lines, and everything after that was question marks, like a sealed piece of equipment.

"Does this book only have this one passage? It seems I can’t directly see the story through my Heavenly Eye."

Now, holding this book, Yang Zhushuang dared not read or move, his eyes darting around, just like his father...

Yang Genshuo at this point had no inclination to deal with their petty thoughts; he needed to understand this Legendary Land and think of a solution.

Yang Qiangjing’s suggestion to send people to lose their lives... wasn’t unacknowledged by Yang Genshuo, but... there wasn’t enough time.

"The Hungry Officials gave a deadline, requiring the grain to be delivered to the Capital within three months, otherwise..."

The Hungry Officials did not specify the punishment, but Yang Genshuo inferred through simple story logic that if the plot portrays the oppressive corrupt official bullying the commoners... those commoners would certainly end up dead.

"And the reason for giving a three-month term, neither three days nor three years, must follow some pattern... it’s not something said arbitrarily."

Yang Genshuo speculated that there was a high chance they could complete the [Deregistration Grain] task within about three months.

If they waited for others to do it... then the time left for them might not be sufficient, leading to certain death.
