Hu Le glanced in the direction of the Sun Palace, a cold smile creeping across his face. Was Di Jun treating him like a fool?
From the moment the demon clan of Mount Tai rose up and began their attack on Heaven, a hint of doubt arose in his mind.
Now that he has even captured Ji Meng, the Demon Saint of the Demon Clan, let's see what Di Jun has to say.
As for why Di Jun was targeting him, he didn't know and didn't want to know. In any case, if Di Jun didn't give him an explanation this time, he would never let it go easily...
The immortals and gods escorted Hu Le back to the South Heavenly Gate. Hu Le glanced at the Great Sage Kui Long, who was suppressed under the mountain, but he did not intend to do anything. Instead, he planned to keep the Great Sage Kui Long suppressed there.
As long as he remains in the Heavenly Court, this Great Sage Kuilong should stay obediently at the foot of the mountain.
He wanted to use this to tell the world what happens when you oppose the Heavenly Court.
For the Great Sage Kuilong, living such a wretched existence might be worse than death.
But the reality is, without Hu Le's permission, he can't even die now...
Hu Le's gaze swept across Kui Long Da Sheng's face, then looked at the heavenly soldiers and generals still kneeling on the ground. He then snorted coldly, called Zi Wei to his side, and ordered her to take these soldiers and generals back to the Heavenly Palace, and then punish and train them properly.
After giving his instructions, Hu Le walked directly into the South Heavenly Gate, and his figure quickly disappeared into the Heavenly Palace.
Ziwei then called Gouchen and his brothers to her side to help him gather his troops...
Upon arriving at the Heavenly Palace, Hu Le ordered all the immortals and gods to disperse and returned to the Tongming Hall alone.
He sat down behind the desk, casually placed the Chaos Bell on the jade table in front of him, then shook his bamboo staff. The Primordial Qi Divine Talisman, which had been suppressed within the Five-Colored Divine Light, flew out and immediately fled towards the outside of the hall.
Where do you think you're going?
Hu Le reached out and forcibly took the jade talisman into his hand. After playing with it for a while, a cold smile appeared on his lips...
Meanwhile, in the Eight Views Palace on Kunlun Mountain, Daoist Xuandu was cultivating with his eyes closed when he suddenly sensed something, opened his eyes, let out a sigh, stood up, and went directly to the alchemy room.
Inside the alchemy room, the Taoist Taiqing was sitting in front of the Bagua furnace, leisurely fanning the fire with a banana leaf fan.
"Teacher, things have taken an unexpected turn. The new emperor of Heaven might start to suspect us."
Upon hearing this, the Taoist Taiqing smiled indifferently, "It was never meant to be hidden."
"this……"
"You don't need to worry about this. This was your disciple's personal action, not something you instructed him to do. So what does it have to do with you?"
“But my disciple, and the most precious treasures of our Eight Views Palace, have now fallen into his hands.”
"Your disciple's fate is such that he is destined to suffer this calamity. What can we do? Let him suffer the consequences of his own actions. Once the calamity is over, he may be able to escape one day."
As for the jade bottle and the jade talisman, they were merely things I casually crafted; they're hardly valuable treasures. What good would it do him to have them?
This isn't just him bragging; probably no one in the entire prehistoric world can compare to his treasures.
Not to mention the Taiji Diagram, a supreme treasure of creation, and the Xuanhuang Pagoda, the Qiankun Diagram, the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern, the Wind and Fire Futon, the Flame Banner that rises from the ground, and the Eight Trigrams Furnace, are all excellent innate spiritual treasures.
In terms of the quantity of spiritual treasures, perhaps only the Shangqing Daoist can rival him.
However, when it comes to the quality and level of spiritual treasures, the Shangqing Daoist's side is far inferior...
"Then what should we do next?" Xuandu Daoist asked again.
"It's better to stay still than to move. You should just stay in the palace and focus on your cultivation," said Master Taiqing calmly.
Taoist Xuandu smiled, instantly understanding.
What wrong has he done?
It was just a matter of accidentally taking in a rebellious disciple, and then accidentally letting that disciple steal a few magical treasures?
What did he do during this process?
We didn't do anything!
It was all the fault of the demon royal court, and even of Emperor Jun.
If it weren't for Di Jun sending people to bewitch his disciple, how could his disciple have committed such a heinous crime?
If the new emperor wants to settle scores later, he should just go and cause trouble for Emperor Jun of the Sun Palace.
Anyway, we can't find his name.
Even if the other party dares to come and confront him, he has plenty to say...
"It turns out the teacher had already foreseen everything; this move of going with the flow was so ingenious..."
Xuandu Daoist was deeply moved, and his gaze toward Taiqing Daoist was filled with awe...
...
The Sun Palace.
Di Jun raised his throne high, looking at Bai Ze and Ji Meng standing in front of him, his face as cold as frost.
However, even though they want to have an attack, they cannot.
After all, it was Ji Meng who did it on his own, so it's no wonder these two are blamed.
"That Ji Meng! I valued him so much before, and this is how he does things? Everything was fine, why did he have to add unnecessary details!"
"Now look what's happened. He's fallen right into that bastard Hu Le's hands, and all our previous actions are going to be exposed."
All their previous actions were kept secret. Even if Hu Le had some suspicions, without evidence, there was no reason for them to confront him.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of Hu Le causing him trouble. The other party was just a junior, not even a Great Luo Daoist, so how much trouble could he cause him?
His concern was that if the other party, in a fit of anger, directly summoned Taiyi and his wife, who were in seclusion, it would be difficult to deal with.
"Your Majesty need not worry. Even if Ji Meng falls into that person's hands, so what? I doubt Ji Meng would betray us."
Besides, even if he told everything, what difference would it make?
We can simply deny it! After all, only the four of us know about this.
Yingzhao, the Demon Saint, stepped forward to comfort him.
"Are you trying to pin all the blame on Ji Meng? Isn't that a bad idea?" Bai Ze asked hesitantly.
Di Jun waved his hand and said coldly, "No, Ji Meng is still a Great Sage of our demon race. He has made countless contributions to our demon race. How can we do such a thing?"
He was, after all, a demon emperor, so naturally he had the responsibilities that an emperor should have.
"So what should we do next?" Yingzhao asked, shrugging.
Bai Ze pondered for a moment and suggested, "Let's wait and see how the Heavenly Court reacts, and then deal with their moves accordingly."
Ji Meng's capture by Hu Le has put them in a very passive position, and they are in a real predicament for the time being...
...
Heavenly Court.
Inside the Tongming Hall.
Hu Le reached out and placed several restrictions on the jade talisman, completely sealing it off, and then ordered someone to put it away in the treasure vault.
He stood up, left the main hall, stood in the corridor, and gazed towards the direction of Kunlun Mountain, falling into deep thought for a moment.
He could clearly sense the influence of the Xuanmen lineage, but unfortunately, their actions were as elusive as a gazelle hanging its horns, making it difficult for him to find any real leverage against them.
Coupled with his own insufficient cultivation level, he couldn't retaliate for the time being and could only keep this debt firmly in his heart...
