Chapter 1187: Chapter 669: Epilogue (Part 2)
At this moment, Guard Li had completely lost the composure and elegance he had yesterday, his entire body covered in bloodstains from endless torment, with no intact flesh remaining.
Moreover, he had lost his human disguise, becoming a figure resembling a Flowing Corpse, with dried skin and a terrifying demeanor.
The power within him had been completely dispersed, and Yang Genshuo could now see Guard Li had fallen from the Phenomenon Realm to a mere Mortal.
"There are quite a few strong individuals in the court... directly rendering a Phenomenon Realm expert completely useless."
"Reported yesterday, executed today, the efficiency is too high!"
"How could the Dynasty have become like this..."
But after thinking carefully, Yang Genshuo somewhat understood.
"No matter how chaotic it is outside, it couldn’t threaten the safety of the overlords in the sky, but having a spy nearby truly threatened their safety, didn’t it warrant extinguishing him at the fastest speed?"
Just like that Neon Country, shouting ’Rather shattered jade than intact tile’ every day, yet found a little boy could send direct mail to their doorstep... immediately conceding.
Upon understanding this logic, Yang Genshuo felt a bit of sorrow.
"From ancient times to the present, even in the Immortal Cultivation World... Alas, as long as there are people, there’ll be such rules."
It’s unrelated to Cultivation Realm, it’s human nature.
"Guard Li Min, infected by Flowing Corpses outside, became a patient carrying the Flowing Corpse epidemic, his soul already corrupted, attempted to disrupt Beijing’s order, collaborating from inside to let Flowing Corpses invade the city, of grave sin, law demands execution!"
The judge above read out Guard Li’s charges, sounding completely bland.
But Yang Min had two questions.
"Why did he snatch our treasure yesterday, and then incite Cang Jingkong’s angry attack on us?"
"Where did the Flower of Richness get taken by him?"
Yang Min very much wanted to ask Guard Li directly, but he had no status, his voice drowned in the public’s condemnation towards Flowing Corpses, unable to stir even the slightest ripple.
The officials above couldn’t hear him.
Of course, even if heard, they wouldn’t care.
Just like this amidst the crowd in confusion... whoosh!
With a swing, Guard Li Min’s shriveled, deformed head was beheaded, cheers erupted around!
"Well killed!"
"This disgusting guy deserved to die!"
"Kill all those stinking Flowing Corpses from outside! It’s all their fault for gathering towards the capital, making me unable to sleep well every day!"
The people welcomed the news with cheers, feeling immensely satisfied.
Though Yang Genshuo also felt it was well killed, however...
"Wasn’t it too hasty? Just letting him die with a belly full of secrets?"
The Yang Family even stayed at the scene, seeing if they could pick up some leftovers from Guard Li’s body, retrieving the Flower of Richness snatched yesterday.
Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, even until someone burned Guard Li’s body, nothing else was found.
Back at the inn.
Yang Min stroked his chin.
"The Flower of Richness isn’t with him... Where did it go?"
"What significance does this thing have for a Flowing Corpse that makes them take such risks to acquire it?"
"Was he targeting us, or... only the Flower of Richness?"
These questions, following Guard Li’s death, temporarily became a puzzle.
Yang Qiangjin patted Yang Min’s shoulder.
"Xiao Min, let’s think about how to leave this place first, this ghost place isn’t good."
"Aunt, I understand, but... if we can find the Flower of Richness, you and I won’t have to be modest, both can have the treasure to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage."
Yang Min’s words made Yang Qiangjin’s heart stir.
She was embarrassed to compete with her junior for the treasure, Yang Min also didn’t want to occupy the treasure alone, rather than entangled in the issue, it was better to find another.
"But where did that thing go?"
While the team was exploring this question, cries of battle came from outside the city gates...
"Flowing Corpses are attacking!"
"So many... so many Flowing Corpses! Everyone run quickly!"
"Someone traitorously joined the Flowing Corpses, we can’t hold them off!"
"Who opened the city gate? Damn it!!!"
With the West Gate of the capital opened, the chaotic cries of battle rushed into the city instantly!
This sudden change caught everyone off guard.
"They... breached the city?"
"Damn, I thought killing Guard Li had foiled the Flowing Corpses’ plan..."
"Ancestor, what do we do now?"
At this time, Yang Genshuo’s gaze had already crossed half of the capital to the West City Gate.
Here, the gate was wide open, a massive tide of Flowing Corpses surged through the opening like water.
The momentum was vast!
Yang Genshuo glanced deeply, outside the capital, the endless sea of Flowing Corpses stretched as far as the eye could see.
"There must be hundreds of thousands of Flowing Corpses, right?"
"With the gates open, isn’t the court finished?"
"Holy crap, what about our people?"
Right now, the Yang Family were still in Beijing, if the city fell, the Yang Family would be doomed too.
"Damn it! How can we trigger the condition to leave the Legendary Land?"
This, let alone Yang Genshuo, even Yang Qiangjin who visited multiple Legendary Lands was completely clueless.
Because each Legendary Land was unique.
The final story and ending were based on the traits of each Legendary Land.
Only after clearing the land would you know the end of the story.
This is why Yang Qiangjing cultivated a batch of Puzzle Solvers specifically for gaining stories, with this, they could comfortably reap the benefits in the Legendary Land and withdraw safely.
"Please, let us evacuate millions at once!"
Of course, if prayers worked, what use would ancestors have.
[Manifestation]
"Flowing Corpses have entered the city, do nothing more, evacuate from the East Gate, do not engage with them."
"The grand momentum is unstoppable..."
These tens of thousands of Flowing Corpses, each held combat power.
Moreover, the ability they possessed was [Infection], capable of converting ordinary people into Flowing Corpses, once inside it’s like a feast among millions of zombies.
The entire capital was about to become a hell on earth.
The Yang Family instantly realized.
"We’re leaving!"
The Yang Family collectively relocated.
"Bold rebels!"
At this moment... a booming shout came from the sky, three beams of golden light shot out from the Imperial Palace!
The sky soon enveloped in golden light, countless streams descended from above, everyone in the city felt themselves embraced by a warm current, all previous chaos and clamor vanished.
A sense of pillar in their hearts.
"Wait a moment..."
Yang Genshuo instinctively exclaimed.
Then, he witnessed an unforgettable sight of a lifetime.
Three cultivators in Imperial Army garb merged their spiritual powers, the sky resonated with grandiose chimes.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Three gigantic Golden Guards stood up from Beijing!
Magnificent like mountain peaks, looking down at the swarming Flowing Corpses below, as if they were ants.
"Intruders to the capital, shall perish!"
Without any complex magic, just the three giant feet transformed from the majestic Heaven and Earth Dharma Form stomped down simply.
A massive Spiritual Power Vortex formed, the surrounding Spiritual Energy was drained, creating a vacuum of Spiritual Energy, the Flowing Corpses below shrieked in terror, each erupting with powerful strength.
