92: Temporary workers enter the village

The next morning.

A team of uninvited guests arrived at the entrance of Biyou Village.

There were six people in total, both men and women, and one whose gender was hard to distinguish.

Dressed as tourists, they directly infiltrated the village… In another courtyard, Ma Xianhong, who was studying the cultivation furnace with Zhuge Qing, frowned.

All the creations scattered throughout the village were the eyes of Ma Xianhong.

So from the very beginning, he had noticed the arrival of those people.

Heh heh… The company's people arrived so quickly?

Ma Xianhong turned to look at Zhuge Qing.

"Brother Zhuge, we have some guests in the village. I'll go greet them. You should go rest."

Zhuge Qing smiled.

"Hmm? More people? Should I go with you to greet them?"

"No, don't! You barely slept last night. Get some good rest. I'll be back soon!"

After speaking, Ma Xianhong led a group of Outsiders out… Lin Yuan and Wang Ye were drinking tea in the courtyard and happened to see Ma Xianhong leading a group of Superior Roots outside.

Wang Ye scratched his head, a little puzzled, and asked:

"Making such a big fuss, what are these people going to do?"

Lin Yuan showed a meaningful smile, it seemed that Zhang Chulan and his group had arrived.

"Let's go! Since Ma Xianhong has made a move, let's go join the fun too!"

With that, Lin Yuan and Wang Ye hurried towards the village entrance.

At this time, the temporary workers, disguised as tourists, originally wanted to sneak in, but unexpectedly, they were stopped before they even reached the village entrance.

"Hey! This isn't a place you can just enter! You've come to the wrong place!"

"If you want to travel, go somewhere else. We don't receive tourists here."

...By the time Ma Xianhong and his group arrived, Zhang Chulan and his team had already been surrounded by villagers.

"Village Chief Ma! You've arrived! Come and see!"

"These people have been sneaking around since they entered the village, it looks like they're trying to steal something!"

..."Everyone! Leave this to me. You all go back for now, disperse."

Upon hearing Ma Xianhong's words, everyone slowly dispersed.

Lin Yuan, observing from a distance, was scrutinizing the temporary workers.

He was most familiar with Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao.

The Central China temporary worker, Black Tube, looked unkempt. Although he was a marksman, he could also fight in close combat.

The Southwest temporary worker, Wang Zhenqiu, was the scoundrel of the Outsider World, the number one troublemaker, the succubus of the Outsider World.

He had bent quite a few people, including the Senior Brother of the Huode Sect.

He used a variety of martial arts, knowing a little bit of everything.

His strongest technique was the Divine Power he learned from Xia Liuqing.

The Divine Mask, borrowing a bit of Divine Power by embodying a deity.

Then there was the Northwest temporary worker, Old Meng, somewhat plump, looking like a middle-aged uncle.

He was a beast master, but he didn't control ordinary beasts like lions or tigers.

With technological advancements, Old Meng could even control microorganisms.

As long as his Qi could touch the opponent's body, the microorganisms would continuously reproduce and grow.

In short, whoever he touched would be finished.

So Old Meng preferred to call himself a biologist.

Finally, the star of the show, the East China temporary worker! The Compassionate Xiao Zizai!

Don't let his Shaolin origin and Dharma name "Huiming" fool you; he was a human Asura!

To suppress his Heart Demon, Xiao Zizai cultivated under Great Master Xie Kong, learning a complete set of Buddhist martial arts, but his Heart Demon grew even larger.

His Bone Dislocation Hand, 'Stripping Skin,' could disarticulate 206 bones in the human body in 0.3 seconds.

For him, killing was like eating, something he had to do.

Especially being able to savor 'delicacies'—when dealing with evil people, he could read the evil thoughts in their memories, which was his favorite.

And working for All-Kinds-Of was simply too convenient for him.

His supervisor, Dou Le, often took care of him, throwing the most heinous criminals to Xiao Zizai.

These people were not ordinary opponents; they all had some real skills.

Compared to the original story, the temporary workers' troubles were already lessened by one Zhao Guizhen, so their pressure should be much reduced.

Ma Xianhong, leading his group, assumed a ready stance.

"I am Ma Xianhong! Everyone, you've come to our Biyou Village, may I ask what brings you here?"

Zhang Chulan walked over with a wide grin.

"Little brother Zhang Chulan! Greetings, Village Chief Ma!"

Ma Xianhong nodded in acknowledgment.

"Zhang Chulan? I know you. You took first place at Luotian Grand Ceremony! The heir to the Source of Qi!"

"My great-grandfather and your grandfather were both creators of the Eight Wonders, so theoretically, we are on the same path."

"If you want to leave the company and join Biyou Village, then we will be family. What do you think?"

Zhang Chulan scratched his head and smiled.

"Thank you for your kindness, Village Chief Ma. I appreciate it. I didn't expect to meet family here."

"However, I'm sorry, Chulan joined the company for other reasons. I, your humble servant, cannot obey."

Ma Xianhong nodded with a somewhat complex expression.

Although he didn't like the company, for Zhang Chulan, the company was clearly a more powerful backer than Biyou Village.

Seeing that Ma Xianhong wasn't too resistant, Zhang Chulan immediately began to ingratiate himself.

"I still don't know who your great-grandfather was, Great Master?"

"My great-grandfather was the creator of Divine Mechanism of a Hundred Refinements—Ma Ben Zai!"

"Heh heh… What a coincidence indeed."

Ma Xianhong said calmly:

"I know you're all here for Chen Duo. I advise you to give up on that idea…"

"I will not hand Chen Duo over to you!"

Zhang Chulan shamelessly approached Ma Xianhong.

"Oh dear… Village Chief Ma, please calm down. We don't have any other intentions. We were just passing by your precious land, found the scenery beautiful, and couldn't help but take a few extra glances."

Then he whispered in Ma Xianhong's ear:

"Village Chief Ma, seeing as we're so fated, I'll be direct with you."

"Look at the people behind me. Every single one of them is a master sent by the company. I'm just a small fry. If someone angers them, and they start fighting, it'll be difficult for the people in the village…"

"What the hell? Difficult? Then don't do it!"

Ma Xianhong pushed Zhang Chulan away and prepared to have the Superior Roots make a move.

"Oh… everyone's here… How lively."

Wang Ye greeted them from a distance.

"Chulan… Feng Baobao, we meet again!"

Zhang Chulan looked over at the sound and realized it was Wang Ye.

"Oh? Old Wang! Why aren't you next door? Why are you here?"

Wang Ye rolled his eyes.

"Go to hell! It's not just me! Your Junior Martial Uncle Lin Yuan and Zhuge Qing are here too."

"Junior Martial Uncle is here!!?"

Zhang Chulan's eyes lit up instantly when he heard that Lin Yuan was also there…
