After Hu Le finished packing up the spiritual treasures, he immediately ordered the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord to gather a force, and together with Duo Bao and the others, they marched in a grand procession toward the Three Immortal Islands.

As for his subordinates, they were all exotic beasts and rare birds that had attained enlightenment on Penglai Immortal Island. Most of them were the ones who were created by the power of the stars when Hu Le first established his Daoist temple.

Later, he received the Heavenly Court's Qi Refining Technique from the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord, and after cultivating for tens of thousands of years, his strength is now quite formidable...

A group of people quickly arrived outside the Three Immortal Islands. Before they could even challenge them, the three demon kings on the islands had already received the news. They each mustered their forces, rode the demon winds, and rushed out, stopping a few feet away from the other side.

"Ha! It's you guys again! You actually dare to come back! Are you looking for death again?!"

King Yuanguang had a fiery temper. Upon seeing Duobao and the others, he immediately pointed his big stick at them and shouted angrily.

"Hmph! How arrogant! Last time you only managed to win a move or two against us because you outnumbered us. Did you really think you had us cornered?"

"Now that we have allies, let's see how arrogant you can be!"

With Hu Le as his backer, Duobao spoke with great confidence.

Upon hearing this, the three demon kings looked at Hu Le and the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord, only to find that they did not recognize the newcomers.

King Xuanguang was a man with an effeminate appearance. He licked his overly thin lips and said in a sinister tone, "These people, a bunch of nobodys, dare to come looking for trouble with us?"

Hu Le was not angry when he heard this. He stepped forward with his bamboo cane and bowed with a smile.

"Greetings, three fellow Daoists of the demon race, from Hu Le of Penglai Island!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the three demon kings' expressions changed slightly.

Living in the East China Sea, how could they not have heard of Hu Le from Penglai Island?

"You are the Eastern Divine Lord of Heaven?"

The eldest of the three demons, King Hanguang, was relatively polite.

“That’s right, it is indeed me, Hu.” Hu Le said with a light laugh.

King Hanguang frowned even more. He couldn't tell Hu Le's cultivation level for the time being, but he knew perfectly well whose disciple Hu Le was.

He hadn't expected that Duobao and the others would invite Hu Le over.

This is a bit troublesome.

The three brothers exchanged glances and saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

"Haha... So it's the Divine Lord in person. We're all old neighbors. May I ask what brings you here today?" King Hanguang asked with a laugh.

Hu Le brushed his bamboo staff over his body and said slowly, "You surely know why I've come here, so why ask when you already know the answer?"

"Hehe... We just didn't expect that a disciple of His Majesty Taiyi would have connections with the Shangqing Sect."

"Now you know."

"I understand, but what are your intentions, fellow Daoist? Do you intend to wage war against us demons for the sake of a few mere members of the Shangqing Sect?"

King Hanguang spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, directly pointing out the background behind him.

You are His Majesty the Emperor's disciple.

We are also subordinates of the Demon Emperor, and we all have powerful backgrounds. Don't push your luck...

"Oh? You few can also represent the demon race? Back then, when I went to the Sun Palace to celebrate Senior Di Jun's birthday, I didn't see any of you there!"

Hu Le almost pointed his finger at them and started yelling at them.

They weren't even invited to Dijun's birthday banquet, which shows their status among the demon race. They shouldn't try to make a fool of themselves by pretending to be something they're not.

Han Guang Dao Ren's face showed a hint of embarrassment, then he laughed in extreme anger, "Since the Divine Lord is acquainted with my Emperor, how can he help others to oppose us? If the old man knew, he would probably be displeased."

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you're quite the joker. How could Senior Dijun be so petty? Besides, when have I ever sided with others against you? Fellow Daoist, you're probably overthinking it."

Mr. Hu is here today only to act as a peacemaker for both of you. He hopes that, for my sake, you can each take a step back and stop fighting.

"Oh? What does this peacemaker, Lord Divine Lord, intend to do? Why don't you tell me?"

If there was no other way, he really didn't want to fall out with Hu Le.

After all, this is the legendary "Crown Prince" of Heaven!

It's best not to offend them if you can avoid it!

Hu Le pointed his bamboo cane at Duobao and laughed, "This fellow Daoist Duobao has already told me about the grudges between you. I believe you both know who is right and who is wrong..."

At this point, Hu Le glanced at the three demon kings, sighed, and continued, "To be honest, you guys were the ones who first took advantage of the fact that their master was away and forcibly occupied their dojo."

When the owner returned to ask for it back, you not only refused to return it, but you also showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, you started a fight with the owner and forcibly drove them away.

No matter where this matter is placed, you were in the wrong from the start.

I think it would be better if you all stepped back first, apologized to these Shangqing disciples, and then returned the temple to them.

As for Fellow Daoist Duobao, you might as well be more magnanimous and let bygones be bygones, never mentioning it again, and let everyone pretend that it never happened, burying the hatchet with a smile.

What do you think?

Before King Hanguang could say anything, King Yuanguang couldn't contain himself and sneered repeatedly.

"Hehe! You're really fair in your role as a peacemaker!"

King Xuanguang sneered repeatedly: "Indeed! You've completely sided with the Heavenly Court from the East Sea, and you still have the nerve to ask us how things are? This is simply outrageous!"

King Hanguang's expression was cold and stern: "Fellow Daoist, you've gone too far! We respected you as a disciple of His Majesty Taiyi and gave you some face, but you really think we're afraid of you?"

The three men were shocked to see that Hu Le not only demanded they return the temple but also apologize, showing absolutely no respect for them!

Seeing the three men's faces filled with dissatisfaction and resentment, Hu Le shook his head inwardly.

Since taking up residence on Penglai Island, he has regarded the entire East China Sea as his own territory.

Now that it's his territory, if anyone dares to disrespect him, he'll naturally make an example of them to show the East Sea cultivators a lesson.

This also made it clear to them that Hu Le's ability to hold this position was not solely due to his teacher's reputation...

"Oh? Could you possibly have some other opinion?"

"You must understand that you were the ones who were in the wrong this time. The fact that I didn't arrest you and take you before the Shangqing Master to apologize is already a great favor to Senior Dijun. Don't be ungrateful."

The smile on Hu Le's face had vanished, replaced by a serious expression.

"Hmph! Take us down? You think you can? You're just being arrogant!"

King Yuanguang stepped forward, carrying a large stick, his face full of disdain, his eyes filled with eager anticipation.

If it weren't for the person's status, given his usual temper, he wouldn't have listened to such rambling; he would have smashed him into a pulp long ago.

"What? Does this fellow demon want to test my methods?"

Hu Le naturally saw the fierce competitive spirit in the monkey's eyes...
