In the courtyard.

Granny Shi stood in front of the large iron gate, and she reached out to untangle the tangled chains.

The being inside seemed to have heard the commotion, and the impact became even louder.

When the last chain was unlocked and the iron gate was slightly ajar, the noise inside suddenly stopped.

This sudden silence made the old women around them even more nervous, and their hands were already sweating without them even realizing it.

Granny Shi lit the oil lamp, pushed the iron gate open a little, and slowly walked through the crack in the door.

Those around could only vaguely see the faint, swirling black mist.

A dark shadow, seemingly with a head, appeared inside the room. As the light from outside shone in, the shadow grew larger and larger, almost completely enveloping Granny Shi.

Immediately afterwards, the dark figure opened its mouth wide.

"Good child," Granny Shi suddenly said in her hoarse voice.

"Good boy, calm down, we'll wait a little longer, just a little longer."

Granny Shi reached out towards the dark figure, but the figure didn't move. However, the thick black mist on the ground slowly rose up and tightly bound her feet.

Granny Shi wore an expression that was hard to tell whether she was crying or laughing.

"Good boy, let's go inside first."

As she spoke, she was about to close the iron gate.

In the blink of an eye, a figure swiftly jumped down, carrying two people, and kicked the iron gate open.

The heavy iron gate, which had been repeatedly struck by demons but could not be broken open, flew into the air and landed straight next to Magistrate Chen.

Everyone was stunned. Even Magistrate Chen was so frightened that his eyes rolled back and he looked like he was about to faint.

That huge iron gate was right next to him! He was so close, he almost met his great-grandmother!

"I'm sorry, I didn't control my strength well," Lin Anniang said expressionlessly.

Grandma Shi didn't speak; her cloudy eyes flickered between the black and white light and shadow, revealing little of her emotions.

However, the black mist inside the room was agitated and surged out instantly, letting out a ferocious roar.

Behind the wooden coffin, Luo Yong's pupils contracted, and he was about to rush out, but someone was faster than him.

Chen, the county magistrate, jumped down from the roof, causing the ground to tremble.

"What are you all standing there for? Run!" he roared as he pulled out a yellow talisman.

"Oomi Mahong, evil spirits, retreat, retreat!" County Magistrate Chen subconsciously closed his eyes and waved the yellow talisman in his hand.

The yellow talisman emitted a faint earthy yellow light, and the black mist seemed somewhat afraid, stopping in front of it.

Seeing this scene, Magistrate Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and became a little bolder.

"I'll subdue this evil spirit. Luo Yong, you take them all away quickly!"

Despite being called "uniforms," ​​the black mist didn't actually retreat; the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

Luo Yong also snapped out of his daze at Chen County Magistrate's sudden change and quickly grabbed the round-faced pregnant woman who had sneaked over.

"Didn't I just tell you not to come out? I'm taking you out now!"

He was extremely anxious because there were other people in the yard, and he knew he couldn't save them all in a short time, so he had no choice but to choose this pregnant woman first.

"No, I'm not going out, this is too amazing!" Wang Qing had just arrived and witnessed Lin Anniang kicking the iron gate away, her eyes sparkling.

"Are you crazy? There are man-eating demons here!" Luo Yong exclaimed incredulously.

"No, I believe they are all so powerful, they can definitely deal with the evil spirits!" Wang Qing still refused to leave.

In that instant, Luo Yong seemed to recall the scene when Magistrate Chen pulled him back to reality, feeling quite powerless and somewhat guilty.

"My goodness, how did you suddenly become so powerful!" Chen, the county magistrate, originally thought that this yellow talisman could deal with evil spirits, but who knew that these black mists would rush over and swallow the yellow talisman whole.

"It's all over, it's all over!" County Magistrate Chen grabbed his hair and collapsed to the ground.

"Madam An, what do you mean by this?" At this moment, Granny Shi, who was standing by the door, spoke up.

Magistrate Chen was devastated. Didn't they see we came to rescue people? What did this mean? What else could it mean?

Alright, now we're all doomed!

"Magistrate, please step back." Lin Anniang easily pulled the person to the back.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Anniang stepped forward and said, "It's nothing, it's just that my Mountain Goddess wants to meet your Goddess of Fertility."

Lin Anniang held the statue in her hand and walked over step by step.

The black mist seemed hesitant, as if unsure whether to rush forward.

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Chen was even more bewildered. How come there was another mountain goddess?

Do these two evil spirits still meet and chat with each other?

Good heavens, with two evil spirits together, won't the desolate county be completely doomed?

County Magistrate Chen hugged himself and trembled.

"Mountain Goddess," Granny Stone murmured to herself.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is."

Behind the old woman, the thick black mist had been waiting impatiently and rushed towards Lin Anniang in the blink of an eye, making everyone's hearts jump into their throats.

"Watch out!" Luo Yong rushed over, knife in hand.

However, how could the blade of physics possibly withstand the power of a false god?

He didn't even have time to get close before he was overturned by the black mist.

The next second, golden light flashed in Lin Anniang's hand, forming a transparent protective membrane that enveloped the people around her.

The black mist was repelled and retreated in surprise, shrinking back by the door like a frightened little animal.

Lin Anniang ignored how frightened the goddess of fertility was. She raised the golden statue in her hand and approached the black mist step by step.

With each step she took, the black mist would tremble, as if it had seen something exceptionally terrifying.

Just as Lin Anniang stepped onto the threshold, the black mist suddenly screamed and turned into wisps of extremely thin black smoke, rushing towards the wooden coffin.

Upon discovering that there was a pregnant woman nearby, it was overjoyed and surrounded her tightly, then opened its enormous mouth.

The county magistrate, Chen, who was lying on the ground, could not bear to look at him and could only turn his head away.

Luo Yong swung his knife, but the blade pierced through the black mist and was about to strike the woman.

He stopped abruptly, sheathed his long sword, and looked annoyed.

So, he's really that useless? In the face of evil, any force is worthless!

Just when most people thought the woman was doomed, the familiar golden light shield popped out again, almost breaking the shadowy figure's teeth.
