*Another name for this chapter: Wu and His Siblings
????In school, every student was excited because the vacation was coming.
????Hsi Wu left the crowd and found a secluded corner. He was to contact his brothers and sisters.
????"Hsi Wu, how long has it been before you contact us!" The tentacles on Bai Tza's head waved angrily. So long after he left the Netherworld did he contact them. If he were before her now, she would surely give him a water bomb.
????"And with the like of a human." Po Kong lipped her mouth corner. She missed the flavor of humans.
????"For what do you hide among humans?" asked Xiao Fung, who was indifferent to these.
????Hsi Wu did not care about the frank irritation of his siblings. He spread out his hands and said smilingly: "Of course for saving you out, my dear brothers and sisters."
????"Then you should be quick to open the passage and let us out!" Tchang Zu could not suppress his anger, striking a huge stone into pieces with a bolt of lightning.
????Tso Lan casually held his two little hands together in front of his chest and said slowly: "It's easier to open the passage from outside than inside."
????"It's not time yet." Hsi Wu hid deeply his mocking thoughts, which could not be seen on his face, "I'll surely welcome you when it's the right time."
????"You want to be Shendu?" Dai Gui roared, vibrating Xiao Fung's ears to ache.
????Shendu was full of wrath but dared not to retort. He had been unqualified to be equal to other demons with his body destroyed.
????"Of course not." Hsi Wu's face did not change, "But you also know how hard it is to deal with Jackie and his companions. You'll do nothing but breathe the fresh air on the Earth temporarily if I pick you out now."
????"Sounds like you've had a plan." Tso Lan raised his hands and suppressed other demons' restlessness.
????Hsi Wu's smile became more untamed, red light emerging from his eyes: "…Reverse Bagua!"
????Bai Tza was astounded and stooped over Hsi Wu, staring at him: "You want to go against the Law!"
????"That's the only way to reconstruct the demon world again. The Great Law commanded by us, we will be the Lord of the World, forever."
????"But once failed, we will be wiped away from the world forever," Shendu said in a low voice. He did not want to join Hsi Wu's crazy plan, which seemed to him a foolish act doomed to die. With his current spirit state, he was easier to leave the Netherworld than other demons, unnecessary to take this risk.
????Other demons were somewhat hesitant; even Dai Gui and Tchang Zu did not upper a word. After all, this method was too dangerous.
????Hsi Wu perceived their hesitation and knew they need stimulation. He proceeded: "What if we sacrifice a creature chosen by the Great Law?"
????"…"
????"My dear brothers and sisters, would you like to always be restricted by the Law and remain in the Netherworld forever, or to reconstruct the Law with me?"
????The seven demons looked at each other and finally, Tso Lan decided the conclusion: "This is a way."
????If a creature chosen by the Law was sacrificed, the risk of reversing Bagua would be greatly lowered, but the premise was that Hsi Wu did not deceive them. Tso Lan knew Hsi Wu well: he thinks and schemes even more than Shendu. He cannot be easily trusted.
????Xiao Fung said: "We need the power to reverse Bagua."
????"Hsi Wu, retrieve our power!" Tchang Zu said sternly, holding lightning.
????"Of course…"
????Wiping the spell on the mirror away, Hsi Wu hid it and returned to the classroom.
????When they were sealed by the Eight Immortals, part of their power along with their chi was attached to the immortals' tokens for sealing them. The Eight Immortals departed, the tokens were missing, and their Demon Chi disappeared from the world. He could not sense his Demon Chi before it reappeared in the world.
????"Jade." Hsi Wu smiled gently at Jade, hiding everything behind the smile.
????Hsi Wu foreboded that the Demon Chi would reappear soon.
????The world will belong to demons again!
