Upon hearing Hu Le's question, Zhu Jiuyin chuckled and said, "Why don't you take a guess?"
Hu Le sneered, "Heh... I suppose it's just some demon emperor."
When Hu Le used "a head" to describe someone, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Although they were indeed entrusted by Di Jun to stop Hu Le, it doesn't mean that they had a good relationship with Di Jun.
Especially Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, these two used to be considered mortal enemies of Di Jun. If Hu Le hadn't appeared later, Di Jun would still be their number one enemy.
The reason everyone came here was simply because they had made a deal with Di Jun. The offer Di Jun made was too good for them to refuse.
"You guessed correctly. It was Fellow Daoist Dijun who sent us to stop you, hoping you could return to the Heavenly Court and not ruin his plans." Jumang revealed the truth directly.
"Oh, you guys are quite obedient, but I wonder what benefits Dijun promised you?" Hu Le asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances. The reason they were persuaded by Di Jun was that the conditions he offered were certainly not bad.
To be honest, at their level of cultivation, apart from innate treasures and top-tier innate spiritual treasures, ordinary treasures are hardly enough to tempt them.
Di Jun was aware of this, so he did not try to bribe them with any treasures or the like.
After all, besides the Hetu Luoshu, he had no other treasures that could impress these people.
Moreover, he couldn't possibly hand over his only top-tier innate spiritual treasure just to get these people to help him.
So all he gave these people was a promise.
That is, if these people are willing to help him stop Hu Le and prevent him from ruining his plans at the God Clan Assembly.
If he can ascend to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, then in the future, he will definitely devote all his efforts to leading the gods and demons to help them seize the throne of the Human Emperor.
Moreover, to show his sincerity, he even made a vow to Heaven.
In this way, he won't be able to renege on his promise in the future.
After discussing it, everyone finally agreed.
Of course, their willingness to take action was not only due to the tempting conditions offered by Di Jun, but also because of the deep-seated grudge they had against Hu Le.
They were happy to cause trouble for Hu Le.
Let's not even talk about the feud between Gonggong, Zhurong, and Hule.
Even Houtu and Xuanming, who had the least grudge against Hu Le in the past, have now accumulated a certain level of hatred towards him.
Who told Hu Le to give the Earth Emperor Seal to Goddess Nuwa, allowing her to seize the great fortune of the earth with a single blow, defeat Goddess Houtu, and achieve the Earth Emperor Dao Fruit?
Houtu Niangniang's millions of years of painstaking cultivation and scheming have all vanished like water. It would be strange if she didn't hate Hu Le...
When Hu Le asked this question, everyone exchanged glances, but no one came forward to answer his doubts.
Hu Le didn't take this situation seriously. He had just asked casually and didn't expect these people to answer every question.
In any case, since they dared to appear in front of him and block his way, he would probably have to fight them before they would give way.
He couldn't just give in to these people's wishes and obediently turn around and go back to Heaven.
The more Di Jun tried to stop him from attending the conference, the more determined he became to go.
As for why Dijun would send him an invitation if he didn't want him to attend the conference, then why did he send him one?
Heh, as a member of the innate divine race, the successor of the former emperor, and the ruler of the Heavenly Court, if the divine race holds a grand meeting without inviting him, how could the meeting possibly be convincing?
How can Di Jun save face by doing this?
Moreover, the invitation also bears the signatures of Zhulong and Fuxi, the brother and sister, so they would not allow Dijun to exclude such an important figure as Hu Le from the invitation list.
However, Di Jun also had his own plans. He could send you the invitation, but if you couldn't come, then you couldn't blame anyone else.
That's why he went to the Netherworld and found Dijiang and the others.
The reason he went to them was not only because they were powerful enough, but also because he felt that these people had a deep grudge against Hu Le and would be easy to persuade.
Sure enough, after he stated his requirements and conditions, these people agreed readily after only a brief discussion.
Anyway, it's not like they're asking them to fight Hu Le to the death; it's just about stopping him for a while.
Once the Divine Race Conference ends, even if Hu Le manages to overcome their obstacles, it will be too late to turn the tide.
If they were to defeat Hu Le, they might not be very confident, since as long as Hu Le had the Chaos Bell above his head, he would be invincible, and they knew how powerful the Chaos Bell was.
However, when it comes to stopping Hu Le, they are still quite confident.
Besides, even if they couldn't stop it, what did they actually lose?
Actually, there's no real loss; at worst, we just lose face a bit more.
Haven't they already lost enough face at Hu Le's hands? They don't care about losing it one more time.
Anyway, when the time comes, it will still be Dijun who has a headache...
Hu Le remained indifferent, his gaze sweeping over everyone's faces before finally speaking calmly: "No matter how many benefits Di Jun has promised you, you shouldn't be blocking my way."
Let me offer you this advice: if you leave now, I can pretend you never existed.
But if you insist on going your own way, then don't blame me for thoroughly humiliating you.
"Hmph! How arrogant! We know how powerful you are, Xuanxiang, but since you dare to appear here, you must have your own methods. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle them," Gonggong sneered.
"Oh?" Hu Le asked with a smile, "I know what tricks you have up your sleeves. Don't forget, you were all my defeated opponents in the past."
When Hu Le mentioned their past defeats, everyone's expressions turned sour.
Dijiang stepped forward and said, “Fellow Daoist, the past is the past, why bring it up again? You want to pass through here? Fine, we will set up a trap here now. If you can get through, we will naturally not stop you.”
But if you can't get through it, then don't blame us for embarrassing you.
Jumang added from the side, his voice chilling, "I wonder if you have the guts?"
Hu Le secretly calculated that there was still one day before the conference started, and after deducting the time spent on the journey, he only had half a day left.
Since these people dare to gamble with this formation, it must be something mysterious about it.
He was still unsure if half a day would be enough.
However, since the other party has spoken, if he doesn't agree, wouldn't his defeated subordinates think he's afraid of them?
Besides, these people are already blocking his way. If he wants to get through, he'll have to break through their obstruction. And once a fight breaks out, he'll have to defeat them.
Hu Le pondered for a few moments before making a decision.
"Fine, I'll just take some time to mess around with them..."
