Black smoke surged from the ground as the Demon Lord suddenly appeared, holding the Witch. The Refiner of Demons sat down heavily on the ground, his chubby belly emitting black smoke, and he lay there for a long time, unable to get up due to the pain.
The Demon Lord's red eyes glanced at the Refiner of Demons, who immediately sensed danger. He quickly dodged and rushed out of the Cavern. The Fire Rat was about to chase after him when the Demon Lord calmly said, "There's no need to chase!"
The Fire Rat immediately stopped and turned to question, "Demon Lord, we can't let him go! He already knows our lair, and if he tells those Exorcists, it will be troublesome!"
"Don't worry, everything is under my control. I want him to go out and talk!" After saying this, the Demon Lord turned to the Wolf King and asked, "How are things on your end?"
The Wolf King nodded. "Reporting to the Demon Lord, there is still some time until December 21st when the Hexagram aligns, so our various forces are still gathering!"
"Mm!" The Demon Lord sneered, seemingly envisioning the day he would reclaim the human realm. "It's coming soon; finally, it's almost here. I've been trapped in that Demon Prison Tower for over a hundred years; it's time to eliminate these Exorcists."
A chilling laugh echoed in the empty cave as he turned and walked toward the cave entrance. "I'll leave this to you; I have something very important to attend to!"
"Yes!" The Fire Rat and Wolf King respectfully bowed their heads. The Demon Lord in his Black Cloak waved his hand and disappeared with the Witch into the cave.
The two exchanged glances and nodded before heading off in different directions, three streams of black smoke flying toward three different paths.
At this moment, a large gap began to tear open in the cave's wall as the Refiner of Demons emerged from it. He looked up at the black mist drifting away into the sky and felt a wave of concern wash over him after hearing the conversation among those three: "December 21st, Hexagram aligning? The human realm will be ruled by the demon realm again? This is really troublesome!"
Xiang Xueer was searching for the whereabouts of the Demon Lord when she saw a round object flying toward her from afar. It swept through branches and landed with a crash in a nearby forest.
"What is that?" She scratched her head in confusion and quickly ran over to investigate. From a distance, she heard someone calling out, "Ouch, ouch, that hurts!"
A burnt smell wafted through the air from a distance. Barbecue? Xiang Xueer frowned and looked toward the bushes, startled to see the Fat Ancestor from the Luring Demon Pot. She exclaimed, "Wow, how come it's you?"
"Huh?" The fat man's belly was still smoking, showing signs of burns. He turned around and saw Xiang Xueer, instantly furious. "It's you again, you troublemaker! You've really gotten me into trouble!"
Xiang Xueer was confused by his words. Wasn't this guy just sitting comfortably inside that gourd? How did he end up here, and what was with those injuries? As soon as she saw him, he began to curse at her. She quickly squatted down to help him sit on the ground beside her. "Hey, what happened? Who hurt you?"
While rubbing his belly, the fat man angrily replied, "You dead girl! You brought that witch into my Luring Demon Pot! Now the Demon Lord is looking for his daughter and came after me. Luckily, I managed to escape in time; otherwise, my belly would have been ripped open by now."
The Demon Lord? Xiang Xueer was surprised. She didn't expect that this Demon Lord would enter the Luring Demon Pot searching for his daughter. But wasn't this guy an Ancestor? How could he be in such a sorry state? It seemed the Demon Lord's power was indeed formidable.
While Xiang Xueer was still pondering this, the Fat Ancestor glared at her and said irritably, "You should run away quickly! That witch's power has been absorbed by you, and I bet you're his next target!"
"Really? Are you saying that the Demon Lord will come looking for me?" Upon hearing this, Xiang Xueer became excited. She had been worried about finding that guy and didn't expect him to come looking for her.
The Fat Ancestor stared at her with a half-smile and shook his head. He got up and prepared to leave. "Crazy! This world is insane! There are actually people waiting to die! I'm not talking to you anymore; I need to get out of here!"
"Hey, wait! Where are you going?" Xiang Xueer grabbed his arm. "With the Demon Lord emerging, as the owner of an Ancient Artifact, how can you just back down now?"
"Let go of me, you dead girl!" The fat man shouted anxiously. "When the hexagrams align in a straight line, who knows how many people will die then? No way! I need to find a safe place to hide!"
"The hexagrams aligning in a straight line? What does that mean?" Upon hearing this, Xiang Xueer was even less willing to let him go. She pulled and pushed him down onto the ground. "Quickly tell me what hexagram you're talking about!"
Sitting on the ground, the Fat Ancestor rubbed his belly and groaned. "I just heard that Demon Lord talking to two of his subordinates about how on December 21st, when the hexagrams align in a straight line, that's when they will invade the human realm!"
"December 21? Why does it sound like the Mayan Prophecy? Is the world going to end? No way, that's completely unrelated," Xiang Xueer squatted down and poked his fat belly, asking, "Can you explain clearly what will happen that day?"
The fat man's belly was already sensitive, and with her poke, tears almost came out as he shouted, "Hey, how would I know? I overheard it too."
It was indeed strange. Xiang Xueer stroked her chin. The two subordinates of the Demon Lord, if she wasn't mistaken, were definitely Fire Rat and Wolf King. They must have had a purpose and plan in saying this; it couldn't have come out of nowhere.
On December 21, the Hexagram would align, and the demon realm would once again invade the human world. Although Xiang Xueer roughly understood their plan, no one knew exactly what would happen that day.
At that moment, Fat Ancestor got up from the ground and stealthily turned to make a run for it. He joked that he didn't want to encounter that Demon Lord again; if he got another hole in his belly, even as the Ancestor of this Ancient Artifact, his life would probably be over.
Suddenly, 'buzz buzz buzz,' the Azure Wind Sword behind Xiang Xueer began to vibrate again, seemingly resonating. She turned around in confusion; although it had resisted her magic before, why was it stirring again now?
With a 'whoosh,' the sword flew out of its sheath and blocked Fat Ancestor's path. He looked up and froze in place, pointing at the Azure Wind Sword in front of him and exclaiming, "Wow, old thing, how are you here?"
"Old thing?" Xiang Xueer pouted in disbelief. This fat man was calling the Azure Wind Sword an old thing? After a moment, she poked his shoulder and leaned closer to ask, "Hey, do you know each other?"
The fat man scratched his forehead and sighed heavily, "Of course I know! I've known for thousands of years! Don't you know? The Ancient Five Divine Artifacts: Azure Wind Sword, Empty Copper Mirror, Shennong Ding, Luring Demon Pot, and Fuxi Qin. We are all masters of artifacts and consider ourselves acquainted. But speaking of which, how did you end up here, old thing?"
