It's about entering the Legendary Land.

The Sky Dragon Army has already been dispatched, and a group of cultivators is arguing with the Sky Dragon Army, with the situation heading towards chaos.

Yang Minrui asked confusedly, "Leader, since the journey in the Legendary Land has groups of ten, their entry won't affect our family's treasure hunting and storytelling. Why must we stop them?"

Yang Minyong was already annoyed by these people.

"Damn it, if they want to line up and court death, let them die! We've done our best, really a group of idiots blinded by treasure; just open the gate for them. After dying, they'll learn their lesson in the next life."

It's not just other people having opinions; even within the group, there's some confusion about how Yang Qiangjing is handling things.

A bunch of motley crowd, just let them in.

The Yang Family has already been kind enough to hint about the story direction.

Why care about their life and death?

"Whether they die or not... I actually don't care too much. What I truly worry about is the future..."

"The future?"

"The management rights of the Legendary Land."

"Ah?"

At this point, Yang Minyong's brain was already overwhelmed, while Yang Minrui's mind was racing. His political acumen was indeed high, and he quickly understood Yang Qiangjing's intention.

"I see... the leader is stalling for time, sealing off the news about the Legendary Land so that outsiders don't find out. Otherwise... those powerful Immortal Clans on Spirit Miao Continent are not to be trifled with."

Take, for example, the Ma Family.

Their overall strength far exceeds that of the Yang Family.

Even the family members at the Golden Core Stage outnumber those of the Yang Family.

Their family has countless Golden Core Spirit Beasts.

If they found out about a new Legendary Land appearing next to Bright City...

"We must keep this a secret, until... our people complete the story and come out from inside to see if this is a one-time Legendary Land." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Yang Qiangjing's gaze was firm. She had already deduced countless scenarios, and sealing the news was the best option for the Yang Family right now.

The Yang Family is strong, but... losing 80% of the direct descendants and a lot of collateral descendants, as well as a battalion of the Sky Dragon Army, the Yang Family was already self-inflicted harm.

After Yang Qiangjing saw the Yang Family people being sucked into the Legendary Land, she quickly looked around and found that the two top masters of the Yang Family had entered.

Leaving a bunch of politicians behind...

Useless.

The current Yang Family, outwardly strong but inwardly weak, should not court trouble.

Looking at the chaotic crowd below, Yang Qiangjing's patience was already worn thin.

"In that case... there's nothing more I can say."

"Now, please stand to my left if you must enter the Legendary Land, and those who are willing to trust the Empire and trust us to wait for a while and then enter after receiving the story stand to my right."

The people below joyfully split into groups.

"Seems like the leader has figured it out; we outnumber her, and she can't do anything."

"The Yang Family is ultimately just a local small Immortal Clan... lacking foundation. If I reveal the name of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, they won't dare do anything to us."

"Exactly, my Book Sect can ruin the Yang Family's reputation with just one stroke of a pen!"

"There's definitely risk in entering the Legendary Land this time. I observe that all the senior brothers here are powerful; why not form a team to go together? It would be good to look after each other."

"Right, the treasures in the Legendary Land are endless; there's no need for us to fight over them. We can come out together."

Many cultivators confident in their own strength stood to Yang Qiangjing's left, while some bystanders and those unwilling to take risks stood to the right.

Even though the opposing voices were initially loud and clear, after counting the numbers... actually, there were far fewer people on the left than not going.

About 1:10 ratio.

Among them, most local cultivators from Bright City stood on the right; they still trust the administration of the Danai Empire and believe in the character of the Yang Family people.

"Indeed... the silent ones are the majority; voices can deceive people, but voting cannot."

Yang Qiangjing nodded, which was about what she estimated.

Then, a dark green light flashed across her ring.

The crooked Life Divine Tree in the city also slowly emitted a dark green light that sank into the ground...

Boom!!!!

Without warning, a bunch of tree roots burst out from the ground!

Trapping all the cultivators on Yang Qiangjing's left!

Forming a sealed hardwood cage.

"What!?"

"Break it!"

"Open it for me!"

This unexpected turn of events triggered the combat instincts of these cultivators.

They all used their best magic to attack this cage, but... a flash of dark green light passed, leaving the cage unharmed.

Some Golden Core Perfection masters also tried, but were unable to shake this Wood Element cage.

"Is this the legendary... Fifth-grade Array?"

"It's only heard that Bright City has a Fifth-grade Array that can resist Nascent Soul Stage, extremely safe, almost impossible for anyone in the Twelve Dynasties to destroy. But I didn't expect to see it for the first time in this way. Good! Very good! You Yang Family people are impressive!"

"Yang City Lord, what do you mean by this!?"

Many people's faces darkened as they looked at Yang Qiangjing outside.

Yang Qiangjing's expression was calm.

"Since I can't persuade you all, then I'll have to trouble you a bit... Once we figure out the origin and story of this Legendary Land, we'll naturally let you leave. As compensation... I will provide each of you with a flawless guide to the story at that time."

"Forgive me."

"Sky Dragon Army, station here and keep an eye on them."

Since persuasive words are ineffective, I don't mind using a bit of force.

The Life Divine Tree, even when mutated, is still the Life Divine Tree; the Fifth-grade Array it evolves into is the ace of the Yang Family!

Because the Danai Empire has been prosperous over the years, coupled with its strong internal power, problems that can be solved by humans were solved by humans, so this Fifth-grade Array rarely appeared.

I didn't expect it to be used twice in such a short time.

Yang Qiangjing looked at the hatred in the eyes of those imprisoned great cultivators and could only sigh helplessly.

"For the sake of my family, I must do this..."

Before those people return, she won't let anyone in or out of Bright City.

She must ensure that news of the newly opened Legendary Land does not leak to Spirit Miao Continent.

...

"What exactly are the Yang Family people doing? Keeping the gates closed, not allowing anyone in or out... It's not the style of the Danai Empire."

"They built their scale through transactions with various parties, so why cripple themselves?"

"The Yang Family must be up to something... but it's also convenient for us."

"Now we can catch the Demon Clan in the Devil Wind Forest without fearing interference from their people."

"Exactly, the Yang Family may be good at earning Spirit Stones, but they're too stupid. Even trying to befriend demons... haven't they heard 'those who are not of our kin must be of a differing heart'?"

"A Spirit Beast raised from childhood could still bite back without a contract! Demon Clan... these base creatures in human skin, how can they be fit to be our friends?"

"Today we'll catch more Demon Clan, not only completing the Family Head's task but also earning a small profit; these are hot commodities in the black market..."

"Especially those Fox Demons, tsk tsk tsk~~~"

"Hehehe~"

Ma Yan and Ma Bi exchanged a glance and shared a knowing laugh with the Ma Family members behind them.

They pretended to leave aboard a Treasure Ship, but in reality, they doubled back and sneaked back into the Devil Wind Forest.

Currently, the deep areas of the Devil Wind Forest have been allocated by the Yang Family to the Demon Clan who love peace and support human-demon unity. They live and work here while maintaining contact with Bright City.

They have only one common enemy: the militant elements of the Demon Clan trying to disrupt unity.

So, on the frontline defenses, it's common to see Demon Soldiers present.

The Yang Family, while selling Demon Slaves, only sells those militant elements from the frontline trying to invade the Danai Dynasty. Once captured, they are sold off.

But these peaceful Demon Clan have always been friends of the Yang Family, and the laws of the Danai Empire also protect their legal rights.

And today, these Ma Family members intend to take advantage of the Yang Family's inattention to poach some Demon Clan from the peace zones...
