Xihe knew that Hu Le was right.
Even if her cultivation level catches up with Di Jun's, it will still be extremely difficult for her to take revenge.
After all, she was all alone, while Di Jun was the Demon Emperor, with countless demons under his command.
Moreover, most of her innate essence was taken away by Di Jun, and with this innate deficiency, it is probably a long way off before she can catch up with Di Jun in terms of cultivation.
"You came to find me just to tell me this?" Xihe sighed inwardly, then asked.
"I came here to find you, fellow Daoist, naturally to lend you a helping hand," Hu Le stated his purpose directly.
He believed that given the hatred between Xihe and Dijun, the other party would definitely be interested in his proposal.
Of course, Xihe wasn't stupid; in fact, she could be said to have understood the meaning behind the music and immediately guessed Hu Le's thoughts.
"Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps planning to use me?" Xihe looked at Hu Le with a half-smile.
It's clearly a mutually beneficial arrangement, so why do you have to put it so harshly?
That's just how it is.
"What, you're not going to agree?" Hu Le asked with a smile.
Xihe shook her head. She knew that if she wanted to take revenge, it would be difficult to succeed on her own. Now that Hu Le had come to her door, wanting to join forces with her, how could she refuse? Even if she was being used, she would accept it.
"What do you intend for me to do, fellow Daoist?"
Although she agreed, she still needed to figure out Hu Le's plan before she would take action.
After all, she had finally escaped, and she wasn't about to do something that would lead to her death.
Fortunately, Hu Le was not prepared to sacrifice Xi He.
He transmitted his plan to Xihe.
After listening, Xihe pondered for a moment and said, "I can do this, but they all have the ability to deduce the fate of heaven, so it will be difficult to hide it from them."
Hu Le nodded slightly: "Fellow Daoist, you don't need to worry about this. I will personally cover up the secrets of heaven for you. I believe that at that time, apart from the Sage Hongjun, probably no one else will be able to detect your traces."
With his current level of skill, he naturally has that confidence.
Upon hearing this, Xihe remained noncommittal, secretly performing a divination. She did not foresee any danger, which reassured her somewhat.
"I hope you will keep your word. I will proceed as planned."
Hu Le nodded slightly, "Just do as you please. So what if they find out? You can come to my Heavenly Court for protection. I'll see who dares to cause you trouble then!"
Hearing Hu Le's assurance, Xi He felt even more at ease...
After Xihe agreed, Hu Le returned to the Heavenly Court, raised the Chaos Bell, and disrupted the heavenly secrets concerning Xihe.
...
Since the failed attempt to intercept Hu Le in the Starry Sky, Hou Tu and the others have been back in the Netherworld for a long time.
Over the years, they have been quietly cultivating themselves and rarely set foot in the primordial wilderness.
Dijiang suffered the greatest loss, losing his physical body in the battle with Hu Le. He has now entered a state of seclusion, preparing to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth to rebuild his physical body.
However, their peace and quiet did not last long, as some mundane worldly affairs disturbed their tranquility.
In particular, they have too close ties with the human race. Although they are cultivating, their trusted subordinates and even their avatars remain among the human race to manage human affairs.
On this day, Houtu was cultivating when she suddenly felt a stirring in her mind, realizing that she had lost contact with the avatar she had left among the human race.
She quickly calculated with her fingers and soon realized that her avatar had already perished.
What happened?
She was quite surprised, because her avatar was inspecting the tribe with the high priest Houji, but it had actually perished.
Surprised, she immediately left the seclusion, departed from the Netherworld, and personally came to the human race.
When she arrived at the place where her avatar had fallen, she found that both her avatar and the high priest Houji had turned to ashes without leaving a trace.
She silently tried to calculate, but found that the secrets of heaven were completely chaotic, and she couldn't calculate even the slightest thing.
This made her even more puzzled, and she couldn't help but lower her head and ponder.
First of all, she already knew that the one who made the move was definitely not an ordinary person with great supernatural powers.
After all, her avatar was at least a Great Luo Daoist, and Hou Ji's Daoist cultivation was equally extraordinary. The subordinates who accompanied the two on their inspection of the human race also all possessed considerable Daoist cultivation.
In such a short time, they all perished on the spot. The person who made the move must have been one of the top-tier powerful cultivators; otherwise, it would have been impossible for so many of them to be wiped out. Not a single one of them escaped.
Who exactly is it?
Is it that person from Phoenix Perch Mountain?
The first thing she thought of was the goddess Nuwa.
However, she quickly realized that the two had already decided the winner, and the other had become the final victor. There was no reason for him to cause trouble for her avatar.
Could it be him?
After denying that Nuwa was a suspect, she immediately looked towards the Heavenly Court, believing that Hu Le was also highly suspicious.
However, although she had suspicions, she did not have any concrete evidence. Moreover, given that person's strength, even if they wanted to cause her trouble, they could have come directly to her true self. Why would they bother with her mere avatar?
How much harm could this possibly cause her?
What's the point?
Thinking about all this, she became somewhat uncertain again...
Next, she used her divine sense to search the vicinity again, but found no useful clues, so she returned to the tribe.
She had barely sat down when Gonggong came looking for her.
After the two met, Gonggong immediately explained his purpose.
It turned out that his avatar left in the human race and several trusted subordinates had also perished. They came looking for him after hearing that what happened in Houtu was similar to what happened to him.
"Do you have any clues?" Houtu asked, frowning.
Gonggong is different from her. She didn't have many enemies in the prehistoric world, but Gonggong is different. From the time of the Nine-Headed Clan to the present day, over countless eras, he has formed countless karmic connections with people.
Now that someone is causing him trouble, it's probably difficult to pinpoint the target.
However, to Houtu's surprise, Gonggong actually had some clues.
"Look what this is!"
Gonggong took out a box carved from ice from his sleeve, opened it, and a blazing flame rose from the box.
"This... seems to be the true fire of the sun!"
"Indeed! It is the true fire of the sun."
"So pure and full of spirituality, it must have come from the hand of that Golden Crow," Houtu said with some certainty. She had also witnessed the True Fire of the Sun that Dijun used, and it looked just like this.
The fact that a trace of Di Jun's aura remained in the True Fire of the Sun was what made her even more certain.
"Where did you get this True Fire of the Sun from?" Houtu withdrew her gaze and continued to ask.
Gonggong's face darkened upon hearing this. "Of course, it was obtained from the place where my avatar fell. If I hadn't arrived in time, this True Fire of the Sun might have gone out very soon after burning the corpse..."
