There were only a few days left before he could refine a Dao Artifact.

At night, Dongfang Tai Yi stood by the lake and enjoyed a rare moment of silence. He couldn’t help but smile when he thought of everything he had, the power he held high above him, and his gentle and beautiful wife.

“King Jin Wu, you seem to be enjoying a good time.” Behind him came a sinister voice.

Hearing this, the smile on Tai Yi’s face stiffened. He slowly turned his head and saw a huge red ant. Its body was a foot long.

He sighed in his heart. The one who should have come was finally here!

“Fire Ant Demon General, what are you doing here?”

“What am I doing here? You still have the face to ask this question. Have you forgotten what the Blazing Sun Demon God told you?”

“Of course not. I’m currently working hard to learn human forging techniques. It will take some time for me to master them. I will naturally return to Demon Clan at that time.”

“Do you really think I’m an idiot? During this period of time, I have seen everything. Not only did you marry the eldest young miss of the Dongfang Clan, you also reached the level of a Grandmaster in artifact forging. This is already a very high level in the human world. However, you still refuse to go back. From what I see, you clearly miss the human world and have betrayed Demon Clan! The Fire Ant Demon General said with a fierce tone.

“Calm down. I’m currently in a high position. If I return to Demon Clan just like that, wouldn’t all of my efforts be wasted?” Tai Yi comforted.

“Then what do you want?”

“How about this, I copy down all the knowledge I have learned from the human world and bring it back to you. Doesn’t this also have the same effect?”

The Fire Ant Demon General sneered, “King Jin Wu, it seems that you’ve been in the human world for a long time and learned the craftiness of humans. You actually dare to use such words to persuade me. It seems that you have truly betrayed Demon Clan and submitted to humans. After returning this time, I will definitely report everything here to the Fiery Sun Demon God!”

Without saying anything else, it turned around and left, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

“You want to leave?” A fierce light flashed in Tai Yi’s eyes as he pulled out the treasured sword in his hand. With a whoosh, the sword light flashed and slashed the Fire Ant Demon General in half.

This fire ant’s strength was not strong, and with his strength, he could easily kill it.

“King Jin Wu … you will regret it!” The Fire Ant Demon General swallowed his last breath.

“Originally, I was thinking of perfunctorily dealing with them, but I didn’t expect that this fellow would not be stupid enough to see my purpose. I could only kill him to delay it for a period of time.” He sighed, a worried expression on his face.

“After helping father-in-law refine the Dao Artifact this time, I have to confess everything to Qing Ping and then leave the Dongfang Clan, so as not to bring disaster to them.”

However, he did not see that in the depths of the darkness, the other giant fire-red ant had already seen all of this before quietly disappearing.

A few days later, the day for the furnace to start refining dao artifacts finally arrived. The three of them entered the secret room, and no outsiders were allowed to disturb them.

Among these three, Landowner Dongfang was the most skilled in forging, while the other two were the ones who helped out.

Unexpectedly, there was a problem in the first stage of refining the Dao Weapon. Melting the Nine Stripes Star Metal required extremely high temperature flames. Landowner Dongfang had prepared the East Pole True Flame, but it took him a long time to melt half of it. This made him feel extremely embarrassed.

‘”Father-in-law, I have a type of flame in my control. Why don’t you let me try it?” Tai Yi realized that it was hard to conceal his identity, so he no longer retained his identity and said to Landowner Dongfang, “Father-in-law, I have a type of flame in my control.”

“You actually control flames?” The other two were shocked. After spending so much time together, none of them knew about this matter.

Tai Yi gently stretched out his hand, and a golden flame rose from his palm. This was the Sun True Fire that their three-legged Jin Wu was born to control!

“This is one of the Four Great True Flames of Heaven and Earth, the Sun True Flame. How do you have such a method? Furthermore, you’re hiding it from us?” Both of them were incredulous.

Tai Yi smiled bitterly and said, “I’ll explain this matter to you later. In the current situation, it’s best to refine a Dao Artifact first.”

“That’s good!” Landowner Dongfang took a deep breath and suppressed his curiosity. He focused all of his attention on the Nine Stripes Star Iron in front of him.

The next period of time was the process of refining dao artifacts. Landowner Dongfang’s level was indeed extremely high, and his early stages were very smooth.

As time passed, the outline of the Dao Artifact slowly took shape. The three of them revealed excitement, and it seemed that they weren’t far from success.

At this moment, a violent explosion came from outside, shaking the entire Dongfang Prefecture. Even the secret room where the three of them were staying shook slightly.

They couldn’t help but frown. What was going on? At this critical juncture, something unexpected seemed to be happening outside. This was truly disappointing.

“Forget it, I’ll successfully refine this Dao Artifact first. It’s not too late to go out and take a look later.” Landowner Dongfang said in a deep voice.

The three of them quickly calmed down and focused all their attention on this dao artifact that was about to take shape.

Rumble!

A series of explosions came from outside, often mixed with the screams of humans. Hearing this, the three of them panicked in their hearts. Obviously, something big must have happened outside.

Fortunately, Landowner Dongfang was very determined and continued to proceed with the next steps in an orderly manner. There were no mistakes.

The three of them were extremely nervous, their breathing hurried. Seeing that the Dao Artifact was about to take shape, perhaps in another fifteen minutes, perhaps only half a quarter of an hour … Just give them a little more time!

At this moment, Tai Yi’s expression changed and he cried out, “Not good, dangerous!”

Rumble!

A gigantic foot descended from the sky and stepped towards the secret room where the three of them were, directly flattening this heavily defended building.

The defensive power of this secret room could be considered formidable. It had a defensive array, but it was still vulnerable to a single blow in front of this gigantic foot. It was only because its owner was a Demon Saint!

In the sky, a total of five Demon Saints attacked the Eastern Palace. Two Supreme Elders of the Dongfang Clan rushed into the sky and fought against them.

It turned out that after Tai Yi killed the fire ants that day, there was another hidden in the depths of the darkness, watching all of this from afar.

It reported back what Tai Yi had done, triggering the fury of the entire Demon Clan. It immediately dispatched five Demon Saints to attack the Eastern Palace and was bound to eliminate this traitor from Demon Clan.

Only then did this scene appear in front of him.

The secret room was completely flattened. At that critical moment, Tai Yi only had time to protect Dongfang Qingping. As for Landowner Dongfang, he had no time to care about it.

By the time the two of them moved out of the ruins, Landowner Dongfang’s body had almost been crushed, leaving behind only one last breath.

When he was dying, his gaze still landed on the unfinished Dao Artifact, carrying deep sentiment and regret.

“In the end, I was still unable to personally refine this Dao Artifact!”

“Father! How are you?” Dongfang Qingping held her father in her arms and cried bitterly.

“It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault!” Tai Yi knelt down guiltily, his hands clutching his hair.

“The two of you, you must live well. Live … Cast this unfinished Dao Artifact!!”

Landowner Dongfang shouted, dragging his shattered body into the furnace, blood stained the sword.
