The Yang Family wasn’t afraid of Guard Li, because they knew his Identity.

"If he really makes a move... it will definitely draw the attention of higher-ups, and then he might not be able to cover it up himself."

"He’s even less willing than we are to let this blow up."

"Good thing we didn’t let his people steal the grain, or we’d really have failed at the last step."

Zhong Yi’s wave of snatching grain on the city wall had already screwed everyone once; they would absolutely never again let some unrelated person touch their grain.

Especially since along the way, they’d kept stockpiling until they had this amount now, just enough to submit to the court. If some was missing... there was really nowhere they could go to make it up.

"Speaking of... now that this Guard Li has left, where exactly are we supposed to deliver our grain? We don’t have any guidance..."

They only knew to transport it to Beijing, but had no idea where specifically to store it for the mission to count as complete.

While they were worrying, Puzzle Solver No. 6 said, "Why don’t we try using our [Relay Station Transit Token] again?"

"Oh~~~ right, this is also a relay station, it should work here too. Let me try!"

Yang Zhu volunteered eagerly, taking the [Relay Station Transit Token] they’d obtained from the first relay station, and went into the station to seek help from a Government Official.

In fact, the reason they’d had such a smooth journey so far was also because of this Transit Token. The Government Officials on the road had tried to squeeze some benefits out of them, but didn’t really make things difficult for them, and they hadn’t encountered any true life-and-death crises along the way.

Yang Genshuo directly fast-forwarded through that part.

At this time, after arriving in Beijing they were still staying at the relay station.

Yang Zhu quickly got the information out of the Government Official.

"Grain transport is under the Storage Department’s authority; naturally you have to go to the Storage Department to settle accounts. The Storage Department is the granary of the entire Dynasty—outside the Imperial Palace, the biggest buildings belong to them."

"Many thanks, brother!"

"But... it’s already late today. The Storage Department officials have all gone home to rest. You’d better go tomorrow morning."

"That so... then we can only set out tomorrow."

Because of the time, everyone was forced to rest one more day at the relay station.

To prevent the grain from being stolen, they took advantage of unobserved moments to put all the grain back into their Storage Rings.

Late at night, shouts of killing echoed outside the city, even the Imperial Army in Beijing was alarmed.

The Flowing Corpses launched a night raid on Beijing.

"The Capital is in turmoil; we have to hurry... Once we finish tomorrow, we leave this place."

Yang Min kept feeling that staying here longer would be dangerous.

The night passed without further incident. At dawn the next day, they set out for the Storage Department.

When they hauled the grain to the place the Government Official had mentioned, they saw one enormous warehouse after another, but there were pitifully few officials inside.

"My lord, we are Deregistration Officials ordered by the court to escort grain into the Capital. The grain is all here; please check it, my lord..."

The officials seemed very surprised that someone could still transport grain to Beijing at this time.

With a wave of the hand, two Hungry Officials with huge holes in their bellies and their intestines hanging halfway out walked out from the granary...

"Jie jie jie~ We meet again, Deregistration Officials." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"You really did arrive in Beijing at the agreed time..."

"Let me see if the grain you’ve brought is enough."

After the two Hungry Officials inspected for quite a while, they nodded.

"You lot are fairly diligent... The amount of grain barely makes quota. Come, follow us and transport it into the granary."

The Yang Family members pulled their small grain carts, piled high with White Grain, and step by step approached the towering giant granary.

The granary opened a small mouth, pitch-black within, like a demon that Devours White Grain, waiting for its favorite food... to enter the trap of its own accord.

"Ancestor, are we... going in?"

Their team of 398 people was so insignificant before this giant granary that could stack the entire Dynasty’s grain.

"I can’t see what’s inside... but I’ll be watching over you."

They’d already reached this point, and there was no reason to retreat.

"If soldiers come, we raise generals; if Water comes, we pile up Earth... let’s go!"

Yang Qiangjin took the lead, and the Yang Family pulled the grain into the giant granary.

As long as all the grain was deposited into the granary and entered the storehouse, their mission could end...

Jie jie jie~

Jie jie jie~

Amid the eerie laughter of the two Hungry Officials behind them, everyone entered the greatest granary of the Dynasty.

In an instant, heaven and earth shifted!

Everything around them turned white, and the sounds from outside vanished completely.

Yang Min subconsciously looked back, only to see the entrance behind them had directly disappeared.

The grain they had brought was guided by a strange force, bursting out of the sacks beyond their control, flying up toward the sky.

Faced with this sudden change, everyone was startled.

"Protect the grain first!"

They cast Magic to cut off the grain’s flight, but that force was like something unbeatable, completely isolating their Magic. No one could stop the grain from soaring into the air.

"Could this power be..."

"Domain Power?"

Yang Qiangjin and Yang Min perceived it at the same time!

Looking again at everything around them—the white Space and the granary they couldn’t leave...

"We’re trapped inside... a Domain!"

Domain?

Yang Genshuo had to think for a moment before recalling what that meant.

"A Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Domain!?"

"That’s right! There’s a Nascent Soul Cultivator here unleashing his Domain. Our grain, inside this Domain, will act according to the rules within his Domain. Even if we go all out, we can’t win inside a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s Domain."

After Yang Min finished speaking, everyone stopped resisting and let all the White Grain they had painstakingly collected along the way be sucked away by this Domain.

Yang Minke didn’t feel any heartache; they’d planted grain in the first place just to complete this story.

"It’s not strange for the Dynasty’s granary to have a Nascent Soul Cultivator sitting in town... I just hope that after taking the grain, they’ll let us leave."
