There was also a Chan Sect immortal living in Mount Taihua, named Chijingzi, who lived in a cave called Yunxiao Cave.
He sensed that a spiritual treasure was about to be born in the mountains, and he couldn't help but come out of the cave, open his divine eyes, and look in the direction where the divine sword fell.
Then they saw the divine sword fall into Hu Le's hands.
Upon seeing that the person was Hu Le, he shook his head, withdrew his gaze, and turned back to Yunxiao Cave without saying a word.
He understood it quite well.
Let alone a divine sword, even if it were the Heaven-Opening Axe, what difference would it make to Hu Le now that it's in his hands?
He didn't think he could snatch the treasure from Hu Le's hands.
He's not that easily swayed...
Chi Jingzi chose to return to the cave, but other cultivators in the mountains who witnessed the birth of the divine sword were not so wise.
"Fellow Daoist, if you know what's good for you, hand over the treasure quickly!"
An immortal named Longyao flew to Hu Le first and shouted loudly.
When Jiaoyue saw that the newcomer was so impolite, she couldn't help but scold him, "You Taoist! How dare you be disrespectful to my master."
A flash of light appeared in her hand, revealing a bright moon hairpin. In the next instant, she only needed to make a stroke with the hairpin to release a sharp beam of light that would kill Long Yao on the spot.
"You little apprentice, you mustn't kill indiscriminately!"
Seeing that Jiaoyue seemed to be preparing to make a move, Hu Le gave a light rebuke and then waved his sleeve at Longyao.
Longyao was as if he had been swept up by a whirlwind, and he was sent flying away involuntarily, somersaulting.
In the blink of an eye, they were transported thousands of miles away in a daze.
After he regained his balance, he was extremely embarrassed and angry, and wanted to go back and get revenge.
But remembering Hu Le's actions just now, he immediately calmed down.
"That's enough! That's enough..."
He sighed twice, then transformed into a streak of light and returned to his cave dwelling...
The cultivators who flew to Hu Le's side later happened to see Hu Le wave his sleeves to send Long Yao away.
They were all cultivators from Mount Taihua, so how could they not know Longyao?
They also had a good understanding of his cultivation level and strength.
Seeing how easily he was defeated after encountering Hu Le, he couldn't help but become extremely wary of Hu Le.
However, it's not so easy to get them to give up that innate divine sword.
"Fellow Daoist, this sword was nurtured in my mountain. Please return it to us," a mountain immortal advised directly.
He was mindful of Hu Le's strength, so his tone was much more polite than when he spoke to Long Yao earlier.
Hu Le merely raised his eyelids and glanced at them, saying indifferently, "This treasure is not meant for you, so why force it?"
"Hmph! Whether we are destined to be apart or not is not for you to decide!" someone said indignantly.
"Indeed, we know you have some tricks up your sleeve, but don't forget, with so many of us fellow Daoists here, you can forget about acting recklessly."
"That's right. If you know what's good for you, hand over this treasure, and we might let you leave unscathed."
"But if you remain stubborn, then don't blame us for being impolite..."
The group of cultivators, taking advantage of their numbers, began to threaten Hu Le.
At this moment, they seemed quite united.
But if Hu Le were truly interested, he could simply ask, "Of course I can hand over this treasure, but with so many of you, who should I give it to?"
As a result, some filth will inevitably arise in their hearts.
Hu Le disdained to use such petty tricks to sow discord against them.
They're like a bunch of ants, not worthy of his attention.
He knew that these people were blinded by greed, and that saying anything more would be a waste of breath. So he reached out and unleashed his Universal Divine Power.
In the blink of an eye, he captured all the surrounding cultivators in his palm, sealed their primordial spirits and magical power, and with a backhand push, the cultivators fell from his hand like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
Before they even landed, Hu Le reached out and grabbed at a towering peak not far away.
With a thunderous roar, the mountain peak rose from the ground and flew in from afar.
He reached out and pushed, and the mountain fell down again, suppressing those people beneath it.
Hu Le drew a golden talisman in the air with his left index finger, then flicked it, and the talisman floated lightly to the top of the mountain.
“Go and tell them that suppressing them for a thousand years today is just a small punishment to serve as a warning, so that they will honestly reflect on their mistakes.”
Hu Le turned to Jiao Yue and gave her an instruction.
"yes."
Jiaoyue responded crisply.
He immediately rode on auspicious clouds to the foot of the mountain and shouted to the cultivators in the mountain: "Listen up, all of you!"
My master is merciful and cannot bear to take your lives. Today, he has only temporarily suppressed you for a thousand years, hoping that you can quietly reflect on your past mistakes in the mountains..."
After speaking, Jiaoyue left without waiting for their response...
After Hu Le and his disciples left, a beam of clear light flew in from outside the mountain and transformed into a Taoist priest upon landing.
The visitor was none other than Chi Jingzi.
"Alas! You are quite lucky; you offended the Emperor, yet you were only suppressed for a thousand years..."
Chi Jingzi stood at the foot of the mountain, feeling fortunate for these people.
"Is that Immortal Master Chi Jingzi outside?!" Someone inside the mountain heard Chi Jingzi's voice and asked loudly.
"It is indeed I, the humble Daoist. Are you speaking to Fellow Daoist Pan Yuan?" Chi Jingzi also recognized the man's identity.
The two cave dwellings were not far apart, and they were somewhat familiar with each other.
Pan Yuan had also presented Chi Jingzi with a great gift, asking him to guide his cultivation...
"Ah! It really is Immortal Master Chijingzi! With the arrival of the Immortal Master, we are saved!" someone else exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes... Immortal Master, please, in consideration of our past relationship, have mercy and save us!" Pan Yuan cried out for help.
Upon hearing this, Chi Jingzi shook his head and said, "Rescue you all? Hehehe... Don't even think about it."
I have come here only to advise you to stay in the mountains. After a thousand years, you will be able to escape. Why are you in such a hurry?
Furthermore, when you are released in the future, remember this lesson: be more discerning in your actions and avoid offending those you cannot afford to offend.
The cultivators in the mountains were greatly disappointed upon hearing this, and they all sighed repeatedly.
Suddenly someone asked, "Immortal Master! You must know who that person was just now?"
Although they heeded Chi Jingzi's warning, they still wanted to know the man's name.
Otherwise, if someone asks them in the future, they won't even know who suppressed them, and their fellow practitioners will laugh them to death if word gets out.
"Fine, today I'll show you that your defeat this time was not unjust. That was none other than the Heavenly Emperor Dongxuan. Now you should understand why I can't let you go, right?"
When Chi Jingzi uttered Hu Le's name, the cultivators in the mountains immediately fell silent.
They finally realized what kind of person they had just offended, and a sense of lingering fear rose in their hearts.
All the cultivators understood that the fact that they were still alive was already a sign of mercy...
