The instant the candle went out, everyone clearly felt the oppressive force that had been pressing down on them like a mountain vanish without a trace!

Xu Nan seized the opportunity and immediately activated his Awakened Form, attempting to launch an attack on Zhao Jinquan.

Caught off guard, Zhao Jinquan took several punches from Xu Nan, but the effect was not very significant.

He seemed more surprised that anyone could actually put out his candle!

That's part of the Reincarnation Secret Ritual.

In this strange land, no one can escape the pressure of his laws. The origin of those two hands is quite mysterious!

"Get him!"

Xu Nan didn't investigate the origin of the two hands, because he already knew the answer the moment they appeared.

He understood that Zhao Jinquan was still the most unstable factor. Taking advantage of the fact that the Reincarnation Secret Ritual was destroyed, Zhao Jinquan was at his weakest, and he had to strike him while he was down!

The Special Ops Team members reacted very quickly. Before Zheng Xie could even make a move, Kangaroo Brother revived on the spot and leaped around a few times. Zheng Xie instantly understood what the mount meant.

After all these interactions, Zheng Xie also understood that this Kangaroo's specialty was bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Zheng Xie's figure suddenly disappeared into the air, and then with a very standard Cross Decapitation Technique, he swiftly and decisively severed Zhao Jinquan's head!

Whoosh!

The soft flesh curled up inside Zhao Jinquan's body, writhing and thrashing about like a panicked child, fled towards the direction of the ancient castle.

Rumble!

Lightning flashed and thunder roared as a terrifying ball of lightning caught sight of the soft flesh. Powerful currents pierced down from the clouds, greatly slowing the flesh's advance!

As a swordsman, Zhang Jian unleashed a terrifying skill. Like an ancient Sword Immortal, he wielded a long sword that transformed into a Pure White sword light, pinning the soft flesh to the bridgehead of the ancient castle!

The entire coordination was so seamless that everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the tacit understanding between experts was still evident.

They couldn't let this strange creature escape. Although they didn't fully understand what was happening, everyone knew that letting it escape would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains!

"He... he is one of Emolan's void wills..."

"This is his tomb, and also his last temple!"

"We've made a plan!"

Susie's face was deathly pale; she looked as if she had been pulled from the water. Gasping for breath, she stared anxiously at the two candles flying towards the castle and said, "That candle is engraved with my Divinity Life Markings... No wonder he could perform the reincarnation ritual... Don't let those two candles fly away. If they escape into the temple, we'll probably still be doomed!"

Xu Nan was also a little anxious. Just as the two candles were about to fly across the bridge and reach the bottom of the castle, suddenly, those delicate hands appeared out of thin air again and grabbed the two candles!

"No!"

The mass of soft flesh nailed to the bridgehead revealed a ferocious face, and it hissed in a low voice, "Who are you? What kind of god are you? Why are you interfering with my ritual?"

His voice was filled with pain.

The reincarnation ritual was unexpectedly interrupted, and even though he was the will of one of the noble Ancient Seven Gods, he entered an unprecedented state of weakness.

He couldn't understand which part of his carefully orchestrated plan had gone wrong.

"Someone is plotting against me!"

Suddenly, a realization dawned on him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come across the name "Song Cheng" when he was calculating the guardian of Tiamat.

His heart was filled with fear, but even if it was just one of his wills, he also had a strong desire to survive.

He longed to represent Emolan and give his body a new lease on life in Tiamat, but the situation was now beyond his control.

He had to return to his temple with the two candles engraved with Divinity Life Markings.

"Deploy the temple guards!"

Accompanied by Emolan's roar, the castle on the mountaintop suddenly shone brightly. A golden light pierced the darkness, and a large number of mysterious stone tablets rose up, followed by ferocious monsters flying and hovering in the air.

It was a Temple Guardian similar to a griffin, but a far more terrifying one.

"Kill all intruders!"

After the order was given, the soft mass of flesh broke free from Zhang Jian's longsword and fled towards the temple!

Whoosh!

The wind howled, and as the monsters were about to pounce, Xu Nan and the others prepared to retreat. However, at that moment, something strange happened—

Everything seemed to have been rewound.

The wandering monster transformed back into a petrified statue, settling steadily into the mountainside, while the castle's stone tablet slowly descended, causing the temple hidden within the ancient castle to vanish without a trace.

The light dimmed, leaving only a lump of soft flesh that seemed to have been abandoned as it crashed into the iron gate of the closed bridge.

"Who is it?!"

The soft mass of flesh completely lost its composure and went into hysteria. "Why can you control my Temple Secrets...?"

Everyone was completely bewildered. What was going on? They were just about to witness a major incident, and someone had turned on the switch?

Their doubts were quickly answered.

On the other side of the bridge, a figure in a black trench coat slowly walked over, carrying the lump of flesh that had lost its divinity.

She plunged a silver dagger into the soft flesh, rendering the latter completely incapable of struggling.

The crowd exchanged glances, all looking at her with some wariness.

Only Xu Nan relaxed slightly. Susie watched as the man in black tossed her the candle engraved with her Divinity Life Markings, and suddenly realized:

"This is the Guardian..."

Xu Nan shook his head, signaling her not to say anything more, since he hadn't figured out her purpose yet.

Since she chose to wear a mask, she probably meant that she didn't want people to know her true identity and purpose, right?

However, it turned out he was overthinking it.

The next second, the masked man appeared in front of Zhang Jian, blinked, suddenly removed his veil, and grinned:

"How about it, cousin? Handsome, right? Want to learn?"

Zhang Jian felt a little dizzy. Although he knew that Qin Lele seemed to be in West Eden Ancient City, he did not expect her to appear in this way!

Xu Nan was speechless. She had even tried to hide his identity, but it turned out he was just wearing a mask to show off...

"You..."

Everyone else was shocked.

After all, it's highly unscientific for a girl who looks like she's not even an adult to possess such unpredictable power.

Jiang Yuanchi's expression became more complicated.

Qin Lele usually appears to be a carefree and weak thief, but unexpectedly, she made a crucial contribution in the battle against a creature that seemed to be at the level of an evil god. What's even more terrifying is that no one understood her actions.

They don't seem to be on the same level at all.

"How did you do it?" Zhang Jian asked, echoing everyone's thoughts.

Qin Lele thought for a moment, "I didn't do anything, I just turned off his temple switch by chance."

"I got lost here before and ended up in his hometown... You know, my advanced profession is really powerful, which is perfect for raiding houses, so I took a lot of things, including all sorts of random secrets and talisman locks..."

After hearing Qin Lele's explanation, everyone was still somewhat puzzled:

"Is the Flying Thief really that powerful? Isn't he just an upgraded version of the Flower Thief?"

Qin Lele suddenly realized what was going on, took out a Mask Emblem, and proudly said:

"I actually have another shared career!"

Xu Nan leaned closer and, upon seeing the badge, Ming was so envious he almost drooled!

[Mask Emblem]

[Grade: Demigod Artifact]

[Ming: Holders of the Mask Emblem can share a specific level of class with each other.]

[Currently shared professions: Flying Thief / Temple Raider]

They're Temple Raider!

This profession isn't particularly powerful among all the advanced classes of the Wanderers, but its characteristics are very prominent!

Temple Raider, as the name suggests, are very good at raiding the homes of gods. They not only have a strong resistance against priests and Temple Secrets, but also make ordinary people immune to the pressure from gods.

Few professions besides Temple Raider can be exempt from the will of the Old Gods and act with ease.

With Qin Lele's explanation, everyone finally understood some of the inside story.

But overall, the situation still appears gloomy.

According to Qin Lele, the heart of this cemetery world is the tomb of Emolan, which conceals his last temple. This temple is also his last reliance in surviving.

Qin Lele's Temple Raider level was very low, and she only wandered around outside without plundering much.

Through the records on the Temple Stone Tablet recently, she discovered Emolan's conspiracy and decided to stand up and become the hero to save the people of the Thousand Rays Society!

By extinguishing the candles to interrupt the reincarnation ritual, Emolan was severely damaged. Then, the temple's activation was shut down, and it was pushed back into the mountainside, causing Emolan's will to completely collapse due to the lack of divine support...

"Actually, I only made a very small contribution!"

The City Management Captain said proudly.

Xu Nan, who was standing next to him, nodded thoughtfully.

Having recovered considerably, Susie looked at Xu Nan with some admiration. "As expected of Guardian Rao, you are indeed very capable."

"When she first appeared, you confirmed it, right? The Guardian is quite powerful too!"

Xu Nan's face felt a little hot.

He did indeed confirm Qin Lele's identity from the beginning.

He never suspected that Qin Lele was a counterfeit product.

The reason is simple: the moment those hands appeared, he could feel a chill in his groin.

Now he was absolutely certain.

"Is this supposed to be a code?" Xu Nan couldn't help but complain.

At that moment, he suddenly saw the perimeter of the cemetery, and a figure flashed by.

The silver-white treasure chest on Xu Nan's chest became burning hot.

He understood something, glanced at the crowd discussing Qin Lele enthusiastically, and quietly followed with Susie.

Not long after, the figure arrived at a cemetery.

The silvery-white treasure chest was no longer hot. He stopped, turned around, and smiled at Xu Nan:

"We've finally met, Mr. Xu Nan."

...!
