I'm A Wasteland Giant Chapter 324 – Chapter 324: Chapter 323 The Death of The Five Yin–Yang Sons!

Chapter 324: Chapter 323 The Death of The Five Yin-Yang Sons!

Translator: 549690339

Guoyang Pass, a naturally formed mountain pass, separates Dragon Dive State from Yangchuan State with a range of mountains stretching from east to west.

If one wishes to travel between the two states, going through Guoyang Pass is the preferred option. Otherwise, they would have to take a lengthy detour around the entire mountain range.

Guoyang Pass borders a river. Without the river that cuts through the mountains, the gradually formed stony road to its side would not exist.

Du Gang did not follow the road, but instead ventured into the dense forest, climbing the mountain.

This narrow, elongated pass cuts through four or five mountains, the shortest of which is only seven or eight hundred meters high and is situated at the entrance on the side of Dragon Dive State.

In earlier times, mountain bandits reportedly wreaked havoc here. However, as the influence of the Dragon Dive State region rose, the bandits were obliterated, ultimately erased from the course of history.

The low mountain is densely packed with trees, with almost no place for anyone to set foot. Fortunately, Du Gang's strength is not weak. By leaping along tree trunks, he makes rapid progress and quickly reaches halfway up the slope.

Just as he is about to bravely forge ahead and continue his ascent, he suddenly halts atop a tree trunk that is over ten meters high.

“Bang!”

Standing on the trunk, Du Gang slightly furrows his brows, a ripple evident in his gaze as he looks at the wilderness before him with some confusion.

“Just now, it seemed like I sensed a slight energy fluctuation!”

It was precisely because he sensed this slight energy fluctuation that he stopped early. However, once he stopped and attentively sensed his surroundings again, he found nothing.

“Could it have been just my imagination?”

He quickly shakes his head, “Impossible, I've already reached the God Spirit Level, there's no way I could have so many misconceptions. Something is definitely amiss ahead!”

Standing atop the tree, his eyes blaze with an eerie light, and soon he sets his sights on a small bird flying freely.

The small bird is flying directly in the direction he wishes to take, just like Du Gang. Unaware of any problem ahead, the bird keeps chirruping and fluttering its wings, covering some distance in a while.

“Could I be overthinking?”

Du Gang stares doubtfully at the small bird gradually flying away.

At this time, a faint energy suddenly flickers for a moment when the small bird passes over a piece of rock in the distance.

This energy does not attack the bird, but is more like a harmless radar signal.

“So that's how it is!”

Du Gang's gaze never left the bird, so he naturally witnessed the whole process.

“These young noblemen have some tricks up their sleeves, discretely setting up a warning line on the mountain to prevent anyone from passing through here!”

Nevertheless, with the exposure of this warning line, Du Gang could be absolutely certain that the so-called feud between the Zhuang and Mo families must be a trap!

“Judging by the time, the carriage should have almost reached its destination, right?”

By now, Du Gang is not in a rush, “I'll wait until they start fighting, then I'll go there. By that time, I suppose no one will pay attention to what's happening here!”

After all, these young noblemen have set up the trap to catch the Yin Yang Quintet.

It's not that they are certain that the Yin Yang Quintet will come, but rather they've studied 'Miss Flower's' route, and believe the woman will inevitably lead people to the place where they are fighting.

The offspring of the three king and seven noble families are not simple either, this time they plan to catch both the dog and the rat in one swoop. They want both the Yin Yang Quintet and 'Miss Flower'!

The road through Guoyang Pass is not wide, just about four or five meters across, nonetheless, it can accommodate two or three carriages side by side.

At an initial location, there's an inward curve in the mountain wall, leaving just enough space for a platform.

The platform is modest in size. Even though there are no tables or chairs, it's nonetheless suitable for passing travelers to rest for a while.

Today, this platform is crowded with people.

In the center of the platform, the Mo Family's First Holy Son and Zhuang Family's First Holy Son are facing each other in silence.

While both sides seemed to be at each other's throats, in reality, they were quietly conversing.

“Do we really need to do this? Nobody has been here…” Zhuang Yuankui, the First Holy Son of the Zhuang Family, was a little speechless and agitated from standing idly for two or three hours.

“Just because no one has come doesn't mean no one can see. Those few always leave before we arrive. They must be using some predictive technique, which means we can't rule out other methods of spying,” said Mo WenYao.

Mo WenYao was calm. His temperament was refined through years of cultivation and he was neither arrogant nor impatient.

“Brother Mo, do you plan to compete for the Human Ranking this time you've come out? ”

Everyone thought that the rivalry between the First Holy Sons from Mo and Zhuang Families would turn into a life-and-death duel. Little did they know, the two had already had many friendly duels and had become good friends, resulting in this current situation.

Mo WenYao nodded slightly, “Yes, if I don't compete now, I'm going to ascend to True God soon; who knows when I can compete in the Earth List?”

Indeed, he only came out this time to vie for the position of family head. Once he secured it, his years of cultivation would make it easy to advance to True God.

With a slight smile, he asked, “What about you? Aren't you thinking about competing for the Human Ranking?”

Zhuang Yuankui laughed, “The powerful ones on the Human Ranking are well known. Of course, I'm going to compete!”

Mo WenYao's eyes flickered as he took his turn to tease, “I've heard about the Gloomy Sun Grass making its appearance… you didn't go!”

Zhuang Yuankui laughed, “Gloomy Sun Grass, a rare treasure that aids in breaking through the God Spirit Level and understanding higher skills. Although precious, it's not rare. I was fortunate enough to obtain one hundred thousand years ago…”

“Brother Mo, you did not go as well…”

Mo WenYao nodded, “I also obtained one many years ago, but unfortunately, there has been no news of other rare treasures in these years!”

Zhuang Yuankui shrugged, “The news of the Gloomy Sun Grass's emergence must have spread everywhere, but the appearance of other rare treasures would have been blocked by local great clans. They wouldn't let us get the cheap deals!”

On this continent, the only things that could help someone break through the limitation of the God Spirit Level were these rare treasures. Among them, the Gloomy Sun Grass was the most abundant and least restricted.

Other less abundant treasures, on the other hand, were much more tightly guarded.

These royalty-like families would not be involved unless these rare treasures appeared within Dragon Dive State.

On the contrary, these 45 major forces were more likely to acquire these rare treasures because they were widely distributed and had their own spy networks, making them more likely to get such information.

It's the same with the strong personalities on the Human Ranking, more than half of them belonged to these 45 major powers. One main reason for this is that they managed to secure most of the rare treasures.

Otherwise, even within the top 100 divine families and top 1,000 royal families, there would still be individuals with unparalleled and outstanding talents.

Regretfully, the inherent limitations of these noble families lay in their inability to expand as quickly and as diversely as the 45 powers. Consequently, they faced pressure from these rising powers.

Just as they were about to delve further into the global situation, someone softly transmitted, “They're here, a carriage is heading this way!”

All the disciples here were well-known figures, and the ones who dared to come over to watch the battle had already arrived; hence this newcomer was not one of them.

“It's very likely that 'Ms. Flower' is coming. Let's watch and wait for the fish to bite the bait!”

Their goal wasn't just 'Ms. Flower,' but to also capture the Five Yin Yang Sons; naturally, they aren't in a hurry to make a move.

Although the field seemed quiet, everyone was alert, prepared to make a move at any moment.

The Five Yin-Yang Sons passed the city where Du Gang had previously stayed, in disguise.

Although they had a reckless attitude, they still understood and maintained necessary disguises in large cities like this.

“He's not here. He has already escaped!”

“Damn it, that guy has been causing us a lot of trouble,”

“Number Five, how are things on your end?”

“We should be able to proceed with the deductions soon!”

Number Five voiced his concerns, “Big Brother, Du Gang has angered many enemies. If we continue in this manner, it might pose a problem…”

“No worries!”

Number One shook his head, “Those chasing us are all at the God Spirit Level. These families consider us as whetstones, allowing their pampered young masters to have some training. As long as no True God comes, we will be safe.”

“Keep chasing, eventually, he'll expose a vulnerability.”

After hearing this, Number Five stopped arguing and began casting his spell.

Before long, Du Gang's location was identified.

“Big Brother, he has run off. He is now at Guoyang Pass and will soon leave Dragon Dive State!”

As one experienced in deducing locations, Number Five was very familiar with the surrounding geography. He instantly pinpointed Du Gang's current location and guessed his next move.

“This is a great opportunity! The path through Guoyang Pass is a narrow one. If we continue to chase him, we'll catch up!”

Number One was overjoyed and without saying another word, led everyone out of the city toward Guoyang Pass.

What they didn't know was that on the city gate tower, two people were watching them with indifference.

“Sir, should we …”

A person of slightly lower status, dressed in the uniform of the City Defense Army, made a gesture across his neck.

The other person they referred to as “Sir,” just smiled and shook his head, “This is just a matter for youngsters, let them solve it themselves!”

“Yes, sir!”

Guoyang Pass, the early stage platform.

The carriage hired by Du Gang quickly arrived here. The servant knew when to hold back and did not stop the carriage in the street, instead opting to park it in a place where other carriages were parked as well.

The people already on the scene acted indifferently, showing no interest in this particular carriage, almost as if they genuinely did not care.

But in reality, whispers spread like wildfire among them.

“They're here, they're here , do we engage?”

“Engage, my ass. 'Flower Girl' is here, but those guys from the demon land who are hunting them down aren't!”

“Exactly, this 'Flower Girl' might not have killed anyone, but the ones who really did the killing were the people from the demon land…”

“Oh, come on, it's clear to see that Young Master Liu has a soft spot for the ladies. Although the 'Flower Girl' hasn't killed anyone, she's been enticing the people from the demon land, leading them towards our property. Such a clear scheme to draw trouble!”

“Ahem, 'Flower Girl' is quite cunning, she seems to be quite a character…”

“Old Lusty, even if she is quite the character do you really think you'd have a chance to peek under her dress and have a night of passion?”

Once the servant parked the carriage and saw that no one was paying him any attention, he wiped the sweat off his brow and whispered to the person inside, “Sir, we're here and the battle hasn't started yet. We've arrived just in time!”

Unfortunately, there was no response from inside the carriage.

But the servant wasn't discouraged, he just assumed that the distinguished person inside did not want to show his face, so he said nothing more.

Seeing the standoff before him, he couldn't help but feel thrilled.

This was a battle between the first holy progeny of two major royal clans. Not even the nobility had the privilege to witness it under normal circumstances.

But today, he was lucky enough to witness it live. What a bargain! Not only did he earn money, but he also had the chance to see this exciting event up close. Once he gets back in town, it's time to show off in front of Cuihua…

The thought of returning to the city and having the once unattainable Cuihua chasing after him filled Wang Ergou with excitement.

And so, all the parties patiently waited in silence, except for the Five Yin and Yangs, who were chasing Du Gang with all their might towards Guoyang Pass.

Each person was speeding at their limits, their bodies were like bolts of lightning as they careered down the stone path. They moved so fast that they kicked up a wave of dust behind them, mimicking the afterburn of a fighter jet's exhaust, reaching a good few tens of meters in length. A truly astonishing sight!

Suddenly, Number Five, who led the group, stopped. As the eyes of the team, he was usually at the forefront.

“What's happening?”

Just as Number One asked, he noticed the situation ahead.

A dozen or so people were stationed on a protruding platform on the road they had to take, forming two opposing groups.

“It looks like a gang fight, Big Brother, what should we do?” Number Five asked quietly.

Number One briefly sensed the others on the platform, only to discover a peak-level powerhouse among them, causing his pupils to shrink slightly.

He spoke in a deep voice: “Ignore them, go around!”

He then made the first move, walked slowly towards the path near the river while keeping a vigilant eye on the crowd.

After hearing this, the others nodded and followed Number One.

After taking a few more steps and getting no reaction, Number One breathed a sigh of relief. It's always a good idea to avoid provoking a peak-level powerhouse if possible.

He didn't overthink, after all, this was a place where they were about to leave Dragon Dive State, it was possible to run into anyone.

However, at that moment, the two sides that were previously confronting each other suddenly turned their heads and stared straight at them.

“Damn!”

Seeing this eerie sight, the five of them immediately stopped their steps.

“Gulp!”

Number Two felt a dryness in his throat, he whispered lowly, “Big Brother, these people… they're not coming for us, are they?”

If there was only one peak-level powerhouse, he would not be so nervous. But from his sense, there were at least four or five peak-level powerhouses among the crowd. Moreover, the two who seemed to be leading gave him a nervous feeling.

This means that these two were very strong, at least stronger than him.

Even that wouldn't have been so bad. The problem was that there were dozens of people on the scene and each one gave him the impression of being incredibly strong.

Even if they were not as strong as the peak-level powerhouses, they weren't far off. They were all clearly powerhouses!

An ominous feeling crept into Number One's heart, but he didn't show any signs of fear. He had a calm expression and lightly bowed in greeting the crowd, “Folks, we five brothers are just passing by. Please, carry on!”

Having said that, he adopted an indifferent demeanor and tried to walk around them.

But then the voice he least wanted to hear rang out.

“The infamous Five Yin and Yangs from the Demon Realm, as the rumors say, kills without blinking an eye, and no one they set their sights on can escape. Now, why are you five acting so timid?”

The voice came from the crowd on the other side. The tone was frivolous, almost like jesting with a longstanding friend they hadn't seen in a long time.

Hearing these words, the faces of Yin and Yang Five immediately darkened.

They've been recognized!

These people were indeed here for them!

The other four subconsciously drew closer to the leader, simultaneously drawing their weapons.

Meanwhile, the leader was staring at the most intimidating two people in the crowd, slowly asking, “Who are you?”

The two leading men stepped forward slowly. One of them was good-looking, fair-skinned, tall and thin, with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

He smiled and said, “I am Mo WenYao, the First Saint Son of the Mo Family!”

The First Saint Son!

The expressions of Yin and Yang Five, already tense, changed drastically again, their pupils shrinking to the size of peas.

First Saint Son wasn't just a casual title; it represented the strongest among the younger generation of a noble family!

Moreover, the Mo Family was a royal influence, even if their First Santa Son wasn't as strong as the Human Rankings, it wasn't far off!

Seeing that the five were silent, Mo WenYao chuckled and said, “Do you remember when you killed my clan brother and destroyed my Mo family's property a while ago?”

The Five were startled and exchanged glances.

They had always killed without mercy, never questioning the background of their victims. There were countless deaths and destruction on their journey; they didn't remember the incidences mentioned.

However, the leader didn't deny it. Since they had been tracked down, there must have been traces left by them. After a little thought, he said, “If that's the case, I take full responsibility for the damages. If you desire compensation, we could negotiate…”

“Heh, heh!”

At this point, the handsome man standing next to Mo WenYao sneered.

He was elegantly dressed, seemed cultured and refined, with an amiable smile. He said, “If apologies were useful, what need would there be for laws?”

“How about this, I kill you and then apologize, how does that sound?”

Hearing this unyielding rebuttal, the leader's face turned cold, “What do you propose?”

Zhuang Yuankui revealed a fierce smile, “I want you all to die!”

Having said that, he shouted, “How can someone who has killed in Dragon Dive State just escape? If we let you go, wouldn't we be ridiculed by everyone?”

“Brothers, kill them all!”

As his words fell, dozens of people in the field moved, each pulling out their divine weapons, charging towards the Five.

“Boom!”

In an instant, the entire platform was tumultuous, the air was whirring, and the two sides clashed.

Meanwhile, on a distant hilltop, Du Gang, who had been waiting for half an hour, revealed a smile as he sensed this surge of energy.

“Has it started?”

Without hesitation, he ignored the security devices on the ground ahead and rushed towards the scene.

No matter what, he had to leave the Five here!

It took him only ten seconds to reach the scene, but during this process, he sensed over a hundred attacks exceeding ten thousand Naer.

Not only that, there were even more than a dozen attacks with fluctuations exceeding twenty thousand Naer.

Even more so, there were a few attacks so strong that he couldn't sense their specific fluctuations.

At the scene, four of the Yin and Yang Five had already vanished. Only the leader was transforming into a stream of light and rapidly fleeing in the direction they had come from.

Meanwhile, Du Gang was halfway up the mountain. Seeing this, he didn't hesitate and instantly activated the Jie-Character Secret, turning himself into a bolt of lightning, and reached near the leader almost instantly.

“Stop!”

Sensing this powerful force, the dozens of pursuers behind all subconsciously stopped in their tracks, warily watching Du Gang.

Compared to the Yin and Yang Five, the threat posed by this stranger was even more terrifying.

Yin and Yang, sensing the pursuers behind slowing down, were first relieved, but the next second, they spotted the figure that was moving like a teleporter.

“Who are you?”

By the time he uttered this word, his adversary had already taken action.

An axe shadow about a hundred meters in size instantly appeared, slashing directly at Yin and Yang's leader without a pause.

The power contained in this attack made everyone present shudder.

“This attack, is it forty thousand? Fifty thousand? Or sixty thousand?”

Zhuang Yuankui was shocked. This was an attack whose depth even he couldn't fathom.

Not just him, all dozens of people present were astounded by this attack.

“Even if faced with a person on the Human Rankings, wouldn't it be just like this?”

“Or rather, could a person on the Human Rankings launch such a powerful attack?”

Many people fell into a state of bewilderment and astonishment.

At the center of this attack, the leader of Yin and Yang was filled with despair. At the same time, he had a clear look at Du Gang's face.

“It's you…”

Before he could say anything further, the axe shadow descended.

The leader of Yin and Yang was crushed to dust in an instant without any chance to resist, completely disappearing.

Not only was his physical body destroyed, but his spirit was also obliterated.

“What a pity, I don't have a treasure that can annihilate spirits…”

Looking at the place in front of him, where the ground had been split open to form a crevice a hundred meters long, Du Gang was somewhat regretful.

At God Spirit Level, normally, the death of a spirit means just the death of that spirit.

Unless they have special equipment, like a treasure that can invoke the Law of Cause and Effect, they cannot affect other spirits.

In the hands of Yin and Yang Five, as he saw it, there must be such a treasure, otherwise there would be no need to pursue him.

However, such treasures would be in their internal worlds and couldn't be obtained!

“Gulp!”

Looking at the calm figure in front of them, the dozens of people present were extremely nervous, their legs trembling and sweating profusely.

In the end, it was Mo WenYao who stepped forward. Although he was also very nervous, he had to step up at this time.

“My friend, we also have grievances with these Yin and Yang Five. We are not with them…”

Du Gang glanced at him casually and said indifferently, “I know, I also have a grudge against them… What a pity, I don't have a Cause and Effect weapon!”

Having said that, he stepped forward and walked ahead.

Immediately, the crowd very consciously split into two groups, clearing a path for Du Gang.

Even Mo WenYao and Zhuang Yuankui lowered their heads in respect.

They didn't find anything bothersome about it. In the Primordial Continent, the strong was revered. The man in front of them looked youthful yet terrifyingly strong, enough for them to humble themselves.

Only when Du Gang had passed through the crowd did Mo Wenyao recall something. He quickly said, “My friend, we don't yet know your name…”

At this point, his mind was a complete blank. He barely remembered the small talk, and asking the man's name directly was already quite difficult for him.

Du Gang turned to look at them, smiled faintly, and slowly uttered two words, “Du Gang!”

After saying that, he left along the road without looking back.

Everyone watched Du Gang's retreating figure until it was out of sight.

“My God, who is this man?”

“He's so strong. How much Naer was in that one attack just now?”

Everyone started discussing, with each person's face red and ears burning with excitement.

Such a strong contemporary was usually unimaginable, but they had encountered him today.

Clearly, this was a person who neither Mo Wenyao nor Zhuang Yuankui could match. Otherwise, their postures would not have been so unassuming.

Zhuang Yuankui wore a solemn expression, “Brother Mo, did you see the strength of this man named Du Gang?”

Mo Wenyao was also constantly recalling the ax shadow. After a long while, he slowly said, “At least fifty thousand Naer, if not possibly sixty thousand!”

He was currently a peak powerhouse with a usual combat power of over twenty thousand. After exerting himself fully, he could reach over forty thousand. But based on what he had seen, Du Gang's attack was far stronger than his own.

“Du Gang, this name, it doesn't seem to be on the Human Ranking, does it?”

The crowd showed puzzled expressions, “That's right, I've memorized all the powerful figures on the Human Ranking, but I've never heard of the name Du Gang!”

Mo Wenyao froze a bit upon hearing this. He turned to look at the crowd, “Have any of you heard of someone from the Du Family?”

“The Du Family?”

The crowd pondered for a moment and finally shook their heads, “No, we've never heard of a great family named Du in the Southern Wilderness. We have heard of one in other regions…”

Zhuang Yuankui shook his head, “The possibility of other regions is not high, they are too far away. With a God Spirit Level cultivation, one might not even get there in a lifetime!”

“So this powerful man named Du Gang might be a prince born from a hidden family? Or the descendant of any of the Big Forty-Five?”

“Highly possible!”

“Then what is he doing in Dragon Dive State?”

Mo Wenyao shook his head and sighed, “He might not have specifically targeted Dragon Dive State. With his strength, he must have been secretly trained by a major power!”

“Now that he has come out, he is definitely trying to make a name for himself…”

At this moment, Zhuang Yuankui suddenly realized something and said, “I know where he is going!”

The crowd immediately turned their gaze towards him.

Zhuang Yuankui confidently said, “I just came back from Yangchuan State, where a major event is happening…”

“If I'm not mistaken, he is headed to Jiuyang Villa in Yangchuan State!”

“Jiuyang Villa?” Mo Wenyao was startled. “What is he going to Jiuyang Villa for?”

Zhuang Yuankui laughed and said, “Brother Mo, you've just returned from isolation and aren't aware. A major event has recently occurred at Jiuyang Villa!”

“The Villa's Master is holding a public betrothal to find a match for his daughter. The heroes of the entire Yangchuan State have all been…”

At this point, a young man next to him frowned and said, “I'm not in seclusion, why haven't I heard this news?”

Zhuang Yuankui laughed and said, “It's normal that you haven't heard. One of the Gods in White, Zhang Youwei, has not yet officially announced the betrothal publicly. I only found out because I happened to be a guest at a friend's house…”

“Of course, this news will not be kept secret for long. I heard that it will be announced in the next issue of the Primordial Daily…”

Mo Wenyao was shocked, “What did you say? He's seeking a suitor for Zhang Xinyi, who is ranked 765 on the Human Ranking and is known as the Icebound Dancer?”

Zhuang Yuankui laughed and said, “Of course, who doesn't know that God in White, Zhang Youwei, only has one family member, his daughter?”

“My God, if that's true, whoever gets Zhang Xinyi would get the entirety of Jiuyang Villa?”

At this moment, many people were so excited their faces were furious.

“Not to let you down, but Zhang Xinyi is ranked 765 on the Human Ranking. She also said that whoever wanted to become her husband must beat her in a fight!”

Even so, everyone present was incredibly excited.

Jiuyang Villa is a second-tier power not far behind the royal family.

Even though they are second-tier, the main reason is that their disciples are not strong.

But their master, the God in White, Zhang Youwei, is nothing short of famous!

A million years ago, this master of Jiuyang Villa advanced to God King status with the identity of being ranked 901 on the Earth List, becoming a person of the same cultivation level as the leaders of many forces in the world.

You should know that in the current era, without Supreme Beings and Saints, the strongest combat power is undoubtedly at the God King Level.

Each of the God Kings is known throughout the world and possesses awe-inspiring power.

What's even more special is that this God King named Zhang Youwei is not of noble birth but a genuine grassroots rise.

Besides his daughter, he has no other relatives. Even his wife was killed by enemies years ago.

Zhang Youwei is a man of heavy sentiment. After the death of his wife, he did not remarry.

This resulted in his daughter Zhang Xinyi became the cherished and only child.

She's not only the princess of Jiuyang Villa, but also the target of pursuit by the talent across the world.

Such power, such a person, it's incredible to think they are considering finding a suitor!

But no matter what they think, everyone present was boiling with excitement.

“Brother Zhuang, in that case, shouldn't we visit Jiuyang Villa?”

At the moment, Mo Wenyao had no idea of going back. His mind was filled with the matter of Jiuyang Villa seeking a suitor.

“Hahaha!”

Zhuang Yuankui laughed heartily and nodded, “I had the same idea. If it weren't for what happened here, I would definitely not have come back…”

Hearing this, everyone else also expressed their sentiments.

“Once this news spreads, it will certainly shock the whole world. By then, perhaps the powerhouses on the Human Ranking will all come…”

“Not maybe, definitely!”

Someone laughed lightly, “Zhang Xinyi is ranked 765 on the Human Ranking. Not only does she have deep roots, but she is also chaste, strong, and there probably isn't a man who doesn't want to marry her?”

“You can imagine that this time, it will undoubtedly be a grand occasion where the heroes of the world gather at Jiuyang Villa!”

“In my opinion, not only will the powerhouses on the Human Ranking go, but even those in the top hundred of the Human Ranking will probably go too!”

Hearing these words, everyone present became even more excited.

“Go, we must go this time!”

Even if they knew that their chances of success were slim, experiencing such grandeur firsthand was still a rare experience!

Suddenly, those who had intended to turn back changed course and headed for Yangchuan State, following in the direction of Du Gang.

Chapter 325: Chapter 324: The Third Mission

Translator: 549690339

Du Gang, while passing through the platform, noticed his physical body, which had arrived in a carriage.

To his surprise, this physical body was intact, still sitting in the carriage.

The attendant who had been driving the carriage previously was nowhere to be seen.

“This body is still here…”

After a brief contemplation, he made up his mind, took two steps at once, swiftly jumped onto the carriage, and gathered up the body.

Although this body somewhat resembled a radar, which could be tracked by others, it wouldn't be a problem as long as it was kept in the small world.

Moreover, it might prove useful in the future, so it was worth keeping it as a backup.

Once he had gotten this done, Du Gang didn't linger any longer, but continued his journey along the stone path towards Yangchuanzhou.

Along the way, he finally received a message from the Heavenly Court.

His third mission world was about to be opened.

Interestingly, the location to enter the Heavenly Court was different each time, but always near his current location.

This time, the entrance to the Heavenly Court was underwater, right beside the stone path.

“Whoosh!”

Without any hesitation, once he reached the location, he swiftly entered into the Heavenly Court.

[You will be transported to the second-level mini-world in three minutes, please get ready…]

[The specific mission will start after arriving at the target mini-world…]

After three minutes, Du Gang's figure flashed, disappearing back into the Heavenly Court's space.

“Whoosh!”

With the familiar purple transportation force emerging, Du Gang once again appeared in a strange place.

He looked around, an incredulous expression on his face.

“I'm the first one here again. I don't know what kind of world it is this time, or who I'll meet!”

Just then, a sudden prompt rang out.

[No.10420 Kou Yingwu] requests to team up with you, please make a decision within 30 seconds.

“Yes/No?”

Du Gang was taken aback, quickly realising, “This is Kou Yingwu using a team-up tool!”

He didn't hesitate, promptly choosing yes.

The next second, with a flash of purple, Kou Yingwu made his appearance right next to him.

“Hahaha!”

The moment Kou Yingwu appeared, he was full of boisterous laughter, rushing to embrace Du Gang.

Seeing this, Du Gang sidestepped, avoiding him.

“Please, don't start with hugging and embracing, I'm straight!”

Hearing these words, Kou Yingwu did not get angry. Instead, he broke into laughter, “Don't worry, I have no designs on you, bro, I finally teamed up with you! My god, you have no idea what I went through in the last mission world…”

Du Gang waved his hand dismissively, “We'll talk about this after going in, where's Tao Xuanzhu? Isn't she coming this round?”

He didn't know much about the team-up mechanism, and didn't know what the specific situation was.

After hearing these words, Kou Yingwu slapped his forehead, “I almost forgot!”

Upon saying this, he closed his eyes, looking like he was communicating with the Heavenly Court.

Not long after, another flash of purple light shimmered, and immediately, Tao Xuanzhu appeared.

As soon as she appeared, the atmosphere quieted down immediately.

She was dressed in a simple and elegant white palace costume, and even though she wore a considerable amount of fabrics, the outline of her perfect figure could still be seen.

The silky long hair she always let loose was now gathered up, making her appear incredibly spirited and noble.

Her delicate hands looked so fragile that they seemed they could break with a simple squeeze, inciting an urge in others to hold them.

Even more astonishing was her youthful, tender face. Her sparkling bright eyes, delicately curved eyebrows, peach-like complexion, and ravishing beauty.

Her lips were as if they had been touched by rouge, her teeth appearing like jade. A single smile from her was like a breath of fresh spring wind. She had a heavenly beauty and a fairy-like appearance.

Even the steadfast Du Gang was momentarily dazzled, a rush of admiration and yearning rising in his heart.

But he quickly snapped out of it, and the smitten look in his eyes gradually faded.

“You're here!”

Hearing this, Tao Xuanzhu's lips curled upward, her eyes shining like the crescent moon, gleaming like a myriad of stars. As she smiled, a hint of mischief was unveiled.

“Isn't it okay for me to come?”

Hearing this soft, dripping sweet voice, Du Gang shook his head in stupefaction.

On the side, Kou Yingwu naturally felt the same, but he quickly noticed that Tao Xuanzhu's eyes were locked onto Du Gang. He sighed in his heart, seeming regretful yet resigned, and finally turned his head away.

Smelling the faint fragrance wafting from her, Du Gang unexpectedly found himself on the verge of being completely ensnared, but he quickly sobered up again.

He frowned slightly, “Speak properly, what do you want?”

Unconsciously, he thought that Tao Xuanzhu was using some sort of charm on him.

Tao Xuanzhu gently laughed, her voice melodious as water, “I didn't do anything, it seems like you're the one with some issues!”

Du Gang himself was a bit suspicious, and hearing these words, he didn't retort but instead changed the topic.

“This time, is it just the three of us, or will there be others?”

This was his first time teaming up, and there was much he didn't know.

Hearing that he wouldn't have to be a third wheel anymore, Kou Yingwu quickly replied, “It's not just the three of us. The difficulty is still based on the number of people…”

Du Gang nodded and said softly, “Then let's pretend we don't know each other for now, and decide what to do after we observe the specific situation!”

“Okay!”

The two replied in unison.

Teaming up with Du Gang appealed to them because of his wisdom, and on such matters, there naturally wasn't any disagreement.

While awaiting the arrival of others, Du Gang added, “Since you've come in with me this time, remember not to be the first to announce the number of rounds. Even when it's time to announce it, try to match it with those who come in later…”

His meaning was simple. If the fourth person announces three or four rounds, but they announce eight or nine, they would blatantly expose the fact that they teamed up.

The two nodded once again, having no objections.

Thus, the three of them pretended not to know each other, forming a triangle, each standing on one side in silence.

They didn't have to wait long for the fourth person to appear.

What was surprising was that the fourth person was also a young woman.

She was dressed in a pale yellow brocade lily skirt, draped in a light red embroidered satin cloak, her dark hair decorated with a butterfly wing-shaped hairpin. She looked full of vivacity and youthful energy.

She looked glowing and radiant, beautiful and exquisite. Her nearly perfect appearance was like a jade figurine, impossible to find any imperfections.

Du Gang was also slightly moved in his heart. The newly arrived young woman was a beauty who did not seem any less spectacular than Tao Xuanzhu, a rare sight indeed.

She had a small face, slender figure, her skin clear and smooth like jade, epitomising elegance and refinement, her beauty was an exquisite sight to behold.

Upon her appearance, she quickly scanned the area.

When she saw Tao Xuanzhu's face, she paused, her eyes changing slightly.

Without a doubt, Tao Xuanzhu was a beauty just like her, making her inwardly praise the sight of a celestial beauty.

The beauty of the two was different.

She was the type of petite beauty that people could not resist wanting to hug and pat on the head.

As for Tao Xuanzhu, she was like a fairy descended from heaven, elegant and beautiful, like a blossoming flower. People revered her, and some felt an irresistible urge to kneel before her.

The petite girl who just entered, simply looked at Tao Xuanzhu and moved her lips twice but didn't say anything.

With that, silence fell upon the arena once again.

People started to wait again.

As beams of purple light continued to flicker, the waiting area gradually began to fill up.

Finally, in the ninth minute, the last person arrived.

Looking around, the place that was vacant before was now packed with thirteen reincarnators.

“So many people, huh?”

The last person revealed a hint of seriousness. In the Heavenly Court, the number of people for each task somewhat represented the difficulty of the task.

“A large crowd is not a problem. The one combating the world's will is just a green energy. It's nothing big…” remarked the penultimate entrant, a man clothed in ornate brocade. He wore a paper fan on his waist, a purple embroidered flower in his collar, mustering the appearance of a carefree aristocrat.

“Purple Sister?”

Many were puzzled by his statement and turned their heads to see what he was referring to.

The man with the purple embroidered flower chuckled. “By 'Purple Sister,' of course, I am referring to the purple energy battling the world's will below!”

“Purple Sister, huh? That's an interesting name, you got quite the creativity!”

“Indeed, this is a good nickname. I'll use it!”

“There's nothing to fear about having more people this time. It's not like we're in a red world!”

Many among the crowd nodded in agreement, accepting his words.

“True enough. It's not a red world. Ordinary worlds are so-so. This time, it's a green world, perhaps it's a closed-room type?”

Closed-room?

Du Gang squinted his eyes. He had felt something strange about the purple energy combating the world's will, and now that he heard about it, it made sense. His first mission was a confrontation with blue energy.

Could it be that in a blue world, it's crucial to kill the “Chosen One”?

While the red world presented a nightmare-level difficulty, survival chances were slim.

On the other hand, the green world, based on what others were saying, could possibly be a locked-room escape type!

Could it be another round of Wolfman Kill mode…

Du Gang soon remembered of the red world scenario when none among the nine were acting as the wolfman.

In this green world, would locked-room deciphering be the fundamental requirement, or would it be like Wolfman Kill mode, with no established rules?

Soon enough, someone asked the question he had in mind.

“Closed-room mechanisms are relatively straightforward; all we need to do is find clues. The ultimate goal would be to find our way out.

The last reincarnator who walked in proposed: “We are running out of time, why don't we introduce ourselves quickly!”

“I'll go first!”

He hurriedly introduced himself: “My name is Ji Shan, I've experienced 15 worlds!”

Du Gang and the others were surprised, they didn't expect this last person to have gone through so many missions.

The man with the purple embroidery who entered just before Ji Shan then confidently introduced himself: “My name is Cai Junlang, I have also experienced 15 worlds!”

Upon hearing his name, some people couldn't help but feel disdain, thinking it sounded like the name of a seasoned playboy…

So, everyone began to introduce themselves by name and the number of missions they had completed, beginning from the rear to the front.

It wasn't long before they got to the sweet petite girl who entered fourth.

It was simply an attention magnet to watch her introduce herself. Her stunning beauty left the audiences intrigued about her name.

Not only was she petite, but she had a sweet and soft voice.

With a sweet smile, she said in a pleasant yet crispy tone, “My name is Zhang Xinyi, I have been through 6 missions.”

After her, Kou Yingwu introduced himself: “Kou Yingwu, 6 missions.”

In line with Du Gang's advice, he chose to conceal the fact that he had been through ten worlds.

The attention of the crowd didn't linger on him for too long and shifted to Tao Xuanzhu.

Among the thirteen present, there were three women, of whom two were breathtakingly beautiful. Among them, Tao Xuanzhu's poised and graceful demeanor held everyone's gaze.

Apart from Tao Xuanzhu and Zhang Xinyi, the fifth person to enter was also a woman, although she had a common face and had a low profile, hence didn't receive much attention.

Tao Xuanzhu moved her red lips slightly, producing a sound as clear as a bell.

“Tao Xuanzhu, 6 worlds.”

Her voice was crystal clear, just like a singing oriole, it was soothing to hear.

She didn't lie, she indeed had been through 6 missions.

After her, it was Du Gang's turn, he was the last one.

But now, all eyes were still glued to Tao Xuanzhu, they were simply not interested in him.

Du Gang didn't bother either, and softly said: “Du Gang, 2 missions.”

“Huh?”

Those who were initially admiring Tao Xuanzhu's beauty now appeared stunned, they turned their heads towards Du Gang, seemingly doubtful of his statement.

“Two missions?”

Many of them were puzzled. How did a participant with only two missions end up matched with them?

Because the last few participants each had been through a dozen or so missions.

Could it be, that with only two missions, Du Gang already had strength comparable to theirs?

Many were somewhat skeptical but did not voice their doubts- not out of unwillingness, but due to time constraints.

[World activation: Please enter within one minute…]

[In this world, the scene is green and peaceful, killing reincarnators will not give a reward.]

[This mission type is 'Jolly Game', everyone has a ticket, please complete every game content according to the stipulated time.]

[Reward: 13 Merit Points (Note: The number of Merit Points received varies according to individual contributions in a mission with multiple individuals)]

[Punishment for failure: Erasure!]

13 Merit Points?

Du Gang was stunned, the reward had caught him off guard.

The first time he was on a mission, the reward was to split one Merit Point among five, and on his second mission, which was a red world mission, the base reward was just one Merit Point per participant.

However, this time, the reward is a whopping 13 Merit Points, implying that with 13 participants, each could get one Merit Point at least.

What's different this time is that those who perform well can receive more, while those who perform poorly would receive less.

Without uttering a word, he glanced at the group that entered last.

He noticed they showed no signs of surprise, suggesting that experiencing such situations were pretty normal and common.

This indicated that the first world he entered was more like a trial, where the difficulty and rewards had been reduced.

Before he could process this further, a purple light flickered.

All 13 participants were transported to the green world at the same time. They found themselves at the entrance of what appeared to be a creepy amusement park.
