Chapter 1163: Chapter 657: Blossoming on Both Sides (Part 2)

Lin Bai scratched his head. He only had a good memory and eyesight, but he wasn’t a GPS capable of pinpointing someone’s location across the globe.

"No way, the people outside are unreliable. It’s one thing if we can’t find his location, but if they turn around and sell our information, capturing him will become difficult. Don’t forget, he is this world’s most openly wealthy person."

"Currently, the enemy is in the open while we’re in the shadows. We must ensure victory with our move this time!"

"We have to rely on our own strength to capture him!"

Lin Bai thought for a moment... and understood Yang Genshuo’s intent.

"You’re saying... we should form our own team?"

"Exactly, we need to cultivate our own eyes on the outside, an intelligence organization that belongs to us."

"Who will be in the team?"

"Let Tian Zhe do it, he can find the right people."

"I understand, Master! I’ll get right on it."

Yang Genshuo left the execution to others; he didn’t need to handle everything personally; otherwise, there was no point in cultivating so many Innate Grandmasters.

There was also Tian Zhe and Lin Yue, these two cultivators.

After the arrangements were made, Yang Genshuo cultivated for a day, and then a disturbance echoed within his Divine Sense...

Yang Qiangjin: "Ancestor, we have discovered some clues in Guangning City..."

"Oh?"

Yang Genshuo stopped his cultivation, his Divine Sense entering the Immortal Cultivation World.

Legendary Land White Grain Warehouse, Guangning City military camp.

Members of the Yang Family were gathering for a meeting.

It wasn’t a meeting where everyone discussed together; instead, it was a smaller meeting, where the majority were on the perimeter listening. Unless there was a special need, most didn’t have to speak.

The subsidiary branches of the Yang Family were already accustomed to this mode.

The primary attendees were those cultivators in the team who had reached the Golden Core Stage and 17 Puzzle Solvers.

Yang Qiangjin was the temporary leader of everyone present.

Yang Min, whose cultivation was comparable, was second-in-command.

With this, a simple team leadership structure was formed.

When the ancestor responded, Yang Qiangjin promptly recounted their discoveries of the day.

"Ancestor, we found many strange phenomena in the entire Guangning City..."

"First, most of the townspeople stay behind closed doors, refusing to speak with us. On the rare occasion someone will talk with us through the door, soldiers quickly interrupt before we can gather any information."

"Second, the soldiers here are highly vigilant against us. Not only do they prevent us from talking to the townspeople, but today they also tried to expel us, demanding that we leave the city... however, I feel there’s something wrong, so I’ve temporarily stalled them."

"Third, there is a completely sealed camp within the military base, dark even in the daytime. No one is allowed entry, but I can faintly hear moans from inside. The guarding soldiers around it are notably more numerous, making it a restricted zone that we cannot approach... Oh, and all the grain Zhong Yi stole from us has been delivered there."

"I have a feeling this city is very odd. Besides City Guardian Zhong Yi, there are no other court officials here."

After hearing this, Yang Genshuo opened his Divine Sense to observe the surroundings.

Indeed, he saw the strange camp they described, with swirling black mist seemingly concealing a massive secret.

"This is the Legendary Land; everything that happens here must have its logic in this story... it’s so mysterious here, our mission must be to understand the mystery here before we can solve the puzzle."

Hearing this, Yang Min interjected: "Ancestor, what if we leave? Wouldn’t it be more prudent?"

"After all, our mission is to transport grain to Beijing, and completing the final goal should be enough, right?"

Before Yang Genshuo could speak, Yang Zhu had already begun.

"Uncle, I would have agreed with that approach if we were still divided into squads, but now that we are gathered together, possessing top-tier strength and collective wisdom, being timid now... is inappropriate, don’t you think?"

Excited, Yang Zhushuang jumped out from the perimeter.

"Exactly! I was timid when we were few, but now, why should we fear! If worse comes to worst, we’ll burn down their miserable camp and take back my grain!"

Yang Zhushuang couldn’t forget about the grain stolen by Zhong Yi.

Subsequently, the Puzzle Solvers joined the discussion, some agreeing to investigate and strike, while others favored rushing to Beijing.

The two factions argued back and forth, while Yang Genshuo listened and made his judgment.

"I’ve told you before that there’s a group far stronger than you chasing us. If their journey goes smoothly, they could reach Guangning City in three days, at which point the situation will be less clear... so we can’t afford to waste time, we must hasten our efforts!"

The conservative faction was delighted to hear this.

"So should we set out today and continue on our way?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me. What I meant is... we must uncover the secret here and excavate the treasures of this city within these three days!"

Everyone: "What?"

"The Legendary Land is not only dangerous but also full of opportunities. Statistically speaking, the current situation might be the most advantageous for our Yang Family. If we don’t seize this opportunity to do something with your combined strength, it would be a waste."

"This is a transit point that has brought you together, there must be something special here..."

"Today I make the executive decision: within three days, we must explore the story behind this city with all our effort!"

No time to waste, Yang Genshuo decisively made the decision.

Led by Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min, everyone responded: "We heed the ancestor’s guidance!"

"Tonight we’ll find a way to infiltrate the military camp’s restricted area!"

After everything was on track here, Yang Genshuo pondered carefully, finding nothing else important to address.

His decision was basically a consolidation of the insights shared by many willing to explore, but he set the strategy from the highest vantage point, suppressing the conservatives.

"Discussion is necessary, but decisiveness is also required."

"Otherwise, decisions are made too slowly."

The most critical element in the Legendary Land now is speed, to avoid being caught up by the experts behind and losing opportunities to them.

While Yang Genshuo was contemplating this, a groan reached his ears.

"Ah~ Ancestor... am I... am I still alive?"

Mushroom World.

Yang Zhu awoke.

Yang Genshuo’s face lit up with joy.

"You survived after all, good!"

Grimacing, Yang Zhu clambered up from the ground, sat unsteadily on a rock, and retrieved a healing Elixir from his storage ring, placing it in his mouth.

Gradually dissolving the medicinal power, he continuously repaired his injuries.

"How do you feel now?"

"Headache... my head hurts a lot..."

Yang Zhu felt his Divine Sense had taken severe damage, worse than his physical injuries.

"The Elixir I gave you contains ingredients to repair your Divine Sense, it’s called [Nurture Divine Pill], take it quickly."

"Oh... I found it!"

Upon waking, Yang Zhu took the Elixir, and his injuries began to heal rapidly.

Two of the most critical events for the Yang Family were swiftly moving in a positive direction...
