    "Elder Liu, I... Ruoyin, she..." Xiao Lu stammered, unsure how to communicate with Ruoyin's grandfather. He simply couldn't bring himself to call him 'Grandpa.' "Hehe, I won't interfere in the affairs of the younger generation. Whatever makes you happy." Elder Liu's expression turned serious as he said this, turning to Xiao Lu again, "Come with me!" After speaking, Elder Liu took to the air and headed directly north. Then, four more people in black robes, their faces veiled, rose and followed Elder Liu. Xiao Lu didn't delay, nodding to Qingyue and Ruoyin before disappearing. The far north. The sky was gray, and snow drifted down. The fire pit Xiao Lu had created was still glowing red. The crackling sound of the flames scorching the snowflakes mingled with the dancing sound of the flames themselves, filling the place with a chilling atmosphere. Elder Liu and the four black-robed figures landed beside the fire pit. "Ahhh..." To catch up with the group, Xiao Lu, whose wings had sprouted light, plunged headfirst into the snowdrift once more. She'd done this before when chasing Yin Lao Jiu and Ji Po. Feeling embarrassed, Xiao Lu quickly stood up, her face flushed, and looked at the group. But Liu Lao and the others didn't pay attention to Xiao Lu; instead, their gazes were fixed on a certain spot in the air. Where their eyes were focused, thick streams of spiritual energy, turning into white smoke, spewed out from a hole about a foot wide. Sharp, piercing roars also occasionally reached their ears through the hole. "How long do you think this place can hold out?" Liu Lao asked calmly, his expression unchanged. "Heh heh... A month shouldn't be a problem?" A person in a black robe, their face veiled, uttered a grating voice. "Then how long can we hold out if we go?" Liu Lao asked again. After that, the group fell silent. A long silence followed. "Although the few of us combined may not be as powerful as Yin Lao Jiu and Ji Po, this is the place where we were born and raised. We should do something for our descendants. What do you say?" Old Liu's words remained calm. "Xiao Lu, I entrust Ruo Yin and Ruo Zhi to your care... I've spoiled them. If they do anything wrong, please forgive them..." "Everything here was indeed caused by you. But even without you, the two people in the Town God Tower would have come out sooner or later, and this boundary wall would have opened. You don't need to blame yourself." "Protecting the world is the duty of us cultivators. What you are doing now is right..." "Soon, the calamity here will manifest. At that time, the fate of all living beings will depend on you..." "After all, you are burdened with the Demon Bell, and this is your destiny..." Old Liu turned to Xiao Lu, continuing to speak. Although his words remained calm, his expression was filled with sorrow. After speaking, Elder Liu didn't hesitate any longer. His figure transformed into lightning, flashing directly into the hole in the sky. Immediately, a metallic clang rang out from the hole. With the sound, the white smoke rising from the hole turned golden. "Gah gah gah... Little fellow, if I had known back then that you were the one carrying the demon bell, I would never have let you live until now." "Everyone knows me as the Night Demon, but my true name is Guan Xiang... Gah gah gah..." "Little fellow, don't forget to burn paper money at our grave every year, gah gah gah..." One of the men, his face veiled in black robes, threw off his mask, revealing a face covered in white bones. He opened his skull-like mouth and laughed at Xiao Lu. However, his laughter was even more hideous than a normal person's cry. After speaking, he flashed away and also entered the hole in the sky. "Cheng Ge..." "Fu Lai..." "Yan Yun..." Three voices rang out simultaneously. Then, the remaining three men threw off their masks and flashed into the hole. With the arrival of the group, the golden smoke inside the hole turned black. The black smoke continued, staining the gray sky with the same color. Then, the snowflakes, which should have been white, began to change color. The white earth, after receiving these discolored snowflakes, also transformed. It became pitch black. "What's going on? Can you explain yourselves clearly? What happened here? What happened to me? What exactly is here?"
