Unexpected Intruder

PS: The Main God Space won't appear later; it's just a tool character used to wrap up this volume.

In Guobei County, a group of people with bizarre clothing and appearances for this era silently barged into this world.

"Chief, what's the main god's mission?"

"Assist in killing Tree Demon Granny, Black Mountain Demon, and the Centipede Demon."

Hearing his teammate's question, the Ponytail Sunglasses Man raised his hand to check the information on his Reincarnation Watch.

"Tsk—no way? Tree Demon Granny is one thing, but Black Mountain Demon? If it weren't for plot armor, even Yan Chixia couldn't take him down."

The Black-Haired Youth who had just spoken shrank his neck, seeming a bit scared.

"Scared of what? The Hong Kong version of A Chinese Ghost Story has mediocre power scaling. I doubt Black Mountain Demon is all that strong. Plus, with Yan Chixia the Taoist Priest around, what's there to fear?"

Beside the youth stood an Iron Man clad in an Iron Battle Suit. Judging by the suit's design, it was just the basic Mark 3 version.

"Anyway, our mission is just to follow Yan Chixia, right? Strange, why is this mission so simple?" The team's Healer, a woman, frowned in disbelief.

"In any case, be careful. No matter the world, caution never hurts."

A Middle-Aged Man stepped out from the shadows, two Godly Sand Eagles from CF Mobile Game holstered at his waist. With his powerful arms and purple-glowing eyes, he was clearly the team's ADC.

The five of them discussed their next moves, then changed into pre-prepared ancient clothes and stored their various weapons in their personal spaces. At the very least, the main god hadn't skimped on travel convenience for them reincarnators.

As they stepped out of the earthen hut where they'd descended into Guobei County, the world's first impression was desolate and eerie. Perhaps because this was a mystical world, the aura made all the reincarnators deeply uncomfortable, as if they'd entered a ghost realm.

"Being in the A Chinese Ghost Story world in person, it's even more oppressive than the movie," the youth muttered, sneezing despite not feeling cold at all.

"After all, the film said this world is in chaos—famine, turmoil, demons and monsters have all taken root here. Too much negative energy. You've exchanged for Paladin Armor power, so it's normal for you to dislike this world."

The woman smiled softly, chanted a spell, and cast a Dispelling Spell on the youth, warming him up a bit.

"Thanks, Sister Lan."

"You're welcome. Just be careful. If you attract something unclean, even Sister Lan can't help." Chen Lan shook her head and pulled the youth along to catch up.

The Iron Man had already taken off his Iron Battle Suit and disappeared somewhere. When he returned, he'd gotten directions to Luo Temple from a passerby.

With the answer they needed, the reincarnators set off in force toward Luo Temple.

After leaving Guobei County, everyone quickly changed clothes and prepared for action.

The Sunglasses Man pulled a custom Alloy Spear from his personal space. His aura shifted, and his body instantly swelled to three meters tall—muscular, strong-armed, steady-footed, built like a wall. He was clearly the team's MT.

The Iron Man suited up in his Iron Armor, fully armed. On the right shoulder of the battle suit was a small turret, similar to the "Ex-Wife Missile" design from War Machine.

Next, the man with two Godly Sand Eagles at his waist smiled, his eyes glowing purple—clearly trained in some Eye Technique.

The youth clenched his fist, and a set of Paladin Armor appeared on him. He drew his Knight Sword, which gleamed with Pure White Holy Light.

Beside the youth, Chen Lan pulled out a Magic Wand and cast buffs on every team member.

Scanning his teammates, the Sunglasses Man nodded. "Since everyone's ready, let's move out!"

"Yes!" ×4

The group of reincarnators rushed toward Luo Temple. Their first goal was to befriend Yan Chixia inside the temple and get him to help them wipe out Tree Demon Granny and Black Mountain Demon.

But things were rosy in theory, harsh in reality.

As they sprinted at full speed to Luo Temple, they saw terrifying sword qi flying everywhere, spraying in all directions!

Under the sword qi's eruption, the already crumbling Luo Temple was completely blasted into Ruins.

"What's going on?! Why is Yan Chixia fighting so soon?!" The reincarnators exchanged bewildered looks. When they first descended into this world, the Reincarnation Watch showed it was the time when Ning Caichen had just stepped into Guobei County!

Shouldn't Yan Chixia and Tree Demon Granny be keeping their distance right now? Why the sudden fight? According to the plot, Ning Caichen fails to collect debts, has nowhere to go, and stays at Luo Temple. Then Tree Demon Granny's top girl seduces him, and Yan Chixia discovers them, starting the battle!

It's broad daylight right now!

How did the plot change?

But the next moment, a youth's voice made their faces turn pale.

"Damn! You thousand-year tree demon, no martial honor, ambushing me! And poking my ass with branches! Watch me burn you to death, you bastard!"

Boom!!!

With an enraged roar, an aura like a Demon God descending instantly fell upon Luo Temple. Then, the dense forest around the temple burst into towering Dark Blue Demonic Flames!

Under such terrifying pressure, the reincarnators' faces twisted. Forget everything else—just the master of this Demonic Qi was beyond their ability to contend with. Even Yan Chixia might not survive a single strike from this aura's owner.

Among the five elements, fire naturally overcomes wood, let alone Demonic Flame, a terrifying exotic flame.

The Dual-Gun Reincarnator narrowed his eyes, purple light flickering. Through the thick black smoke, he saw the dense forest where Tree Demon Granny dwelled burning fiercely with Demonic Flame, accompanied by endless shrill screams.

Alongside the Demonic Flame, golden sword qi crisscrossed, continuously attacking Tree Demon Granny's remnants.

"Wind, rain, thunder, lightning! Urgent as the decree, summon Heavenly Thunder!"

Just as the group hesitated, the same youth's voice came from ahead. Thunderclouds gathered in the sky, and Heavenly Thunder descended, turning into train-sized thunder dragons that blasted into Tree Demon Granny's territory.

Boom!!!

With a final scream, the terrifying atmosphere began to dissipate. The Luo Temple Ruins, long shrouded by Demon Aura, actually saw the light of day again.

"Ding! Due to an unknown anomaly, the mission to assist Yan Chixia in killing Tree Demon Granny has failed. As this is due to force majeure, the mission penalty is canceled."

"What?!"

The Reincarnators' expressions shifted dramatically. Though the mission had failed, fortunately this time the mission penalty hadn't been enforced. But what was that "force majeure" factor supposed to mean? Could it be referring to that terrifying Demonic Qi?!

"No—not good! Someone who might be the master of that Demonic Qi just now is charging straight at us!!!"

But just then, the Dual Gun Man, who had been using a purple Eye Technique, turned pale and urgently called for the team to retreat.

Yet the moment they reacted, a figure radiating boundless Demonic Might crossed several hundred meters in an instant, descending from the sky and landing heavily before them!

"Get back!"

As the dust kicked up into the air, the Man in Sunglasses stepped forward, shielding his teammates behind him.

But the next moment, the demonic, imposing figure before them uttered words that left them utterly stunned.

"You're the rookies arranged by the Lord God, aren't you?"
