Lu Liu was furious that Lady Wangshu was unwilling to retrieve the Hetu and Luoshu for him, but he was helpless. He could only keep this score in his heart and vowed to settle the score with Ancestor Kunpeng in the future...
Meanwhile, the Kunpeng Ancestor summoned the Hetu and Luoshu, and after calculating for a long time, he still did not obtain any useful information.
That makes sense; how could he possibly predict the whereabouts of a religious leader or saint?
Just as the Kunpeng Ancestor reluctantly put away the Hetu Luoshu, a voice that sounded very familiar suddenly rang out outside the Demon Master Palace.
"Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, please come out and meet me."
The voice was gentle and calm, yet it startled the Kunpeng Ancestor, causing a hint of fear to appear in his eyes.
He stood there stunned for a long time, but finally had no choice but to get up and walk out of the Demon Master's Palace. From afar, he saw Hu Le sitting upright on the back of the ox, his expression indifferent.
He forced himself to step forward, gave a forced bow, and said with a dry laugh, "So it is the leader who has arrived. Kunpeng has not been able to greet you from afar. Please forgive me!"
Hu Le remained seated on the ox's back, saying calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. Please do not blame me for my abrupt arrival."
"How dare I, how dare I..." Ancestor Kunpeng said with a stiff smile.
"I wonder what brings you to my Northern Sea, Master? If there is anything I, Kunpeng, can do to help you, please just say the word."
"Hehe... I came to see you, fellow Daoist, not for any other reason than to borrow something from you. I hope you can grant my request."
Upon hearing Hu Le's words, the Kunpeng Ancestor's expression grew even more grim. "I...I wonder what the Sect Leader wishes to borrow?"
His heart pounded with apprehension. Could this person really be after the ancestor's head?
"Yes, I heard that after Di Jun fell, the Hetu Luoshu he left behind is now in your hands, and my disciple Fuxi needs to use this to prove his Dao."
"I hope you can hand it over, fellow Daoist. I will definitely return it after I have used it," Hu Le said directly, demanding the item.
"this……"
Upon hearing this, the Kunpeng Ancestor was so frustrated he felt like he was about to vomit blood. These words sounded so familiar; he vaguely remembered that he had used a similar excuse to trick Lu Liu into giving him this treasure.
Now, however, Hu Le used it on him, leaving him speechless for a moment.
"What's wrong? Fellow Daoist seems somewhat reluctant?"
Hu Le raised his eyelids, his empty and lonely eyes turning to glance at the Kunpeng Ancestor.
The Kunpeng Ancestor inwardly cursed, "This Xuanxiang is utterly despicable! So what if he's a saint? Under broad daylight, there's no reason to forcibly seize someone's spiritual treasure..."
"Master, please forgive me. I still have a great use for this treasure, so I'm afraid I can't lend it out. I'm truly sorry that you've made such a wasted trip."
The Kunpeng Ancestor knew very well that the Hetu Luoshu was not his spiritual treasure to begin with, and if he lent it out like this, there was an eight or nine chance that it would never be returned, so how could he bear to part with it...
"Since you are unwilling to part with it, I will have no choice but to come and collect it myself..."
Hu Le smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by the choice of the Kunpeng Ancestor.
Even with his cultivation reaching such a level, this old demon's character of sacrificing his life for wealth remains unchanged.
Since that's the case, why should he be polite to him?
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and unleashed a giant hand of primordial energy that reached out to grab the Kunpeng Ancestor.
"You shameless leader! You actually dare to try and seize the ancestral treasure! You are unworthy of being a saint!"
The Kunpeng Ancestor screamed, and seeing the sky-covering hand descending, he immediately summoned a beam of light and flew away into the distance.
Before Hu Le became a saint, he was no match for him; now that Hu Le has become a Hunyuan, he is even less of a match.
The only thing he can do now is to flee into chaos and lay low for a while...
"Heh...where can you possibly run to?"
Seeing this, Hu Le merely raised his eyelids slightly, his Yuan Qi hand remaining still as he continued to grab at Kunpeng.
In an instant, a giant hand swept across the sky, blotting out the sun and covering the entire North Sea.
Under the influence of the primordial energy, the universe became incredibly small, the vast Northern Sea remained calm, and the winds and clouds ceased to flow.
The Kunpeng Ancestor fled for hundreds of thousands of miles in one breath and let out a soft sigh.
They've escaped so far; they should be out of that person's sight by now, right?
Thinking this, he couldn't help but look back, and in the next instant, he was almost scared out of his wits.
It turns out that even after flying so far, he couldn't escape the grasp of the primordial energy.
With a loud bang.
The giant hand of vital energy descended from the sky, causing the entire surface of the North Sea to sink by more than three zhang (approximately 10 meters), and countless islands to sink into the seabed.
As for the Kunpeng Ancestor, he felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. The escape light surrounding his body immediately collapsed, and he fell into the palm of that giant hand.
"ah……"
As the large hand tightened its grip, the Kunpeng Ancestor, held in its palm, let out a painful cry.
Just as his body was about to be crushed, he finally couldn't bear it any longer and began to beg for mercy.
"Master, spare my life! I'm willing to hand over the magical treasure!"
The moment he finished speaking, the large, energetic hand that had been gripping him suddenly and silently disappeared.
The Kunpeng Ancestor regained his freedom, stood alone on the sea, and gasped for breath. The last bit of hope in his heart vanished.
He knew that he had no chance of escaping from the Primordial Saint.
So he had no choice but to obediently return to the Demon Master's Palace. When he saw Hu Le, he blushed and, full of shame, took out the Hetu Luoshu and threw it to Hu Le from afar.
"If only you had cooperated earlier, you would have been spared all that suffering."
Hu Le waved his sleeve and put away the Hetu and Luoshu.
Upon hearing this, the Kunpeng Ancestor was both ashamed and furious. He immediately turned his face into light and disappeared into the Demon Master's Palace in the blink of an eye.
Hu Le's visit was merely to "borrow the treasure," he had no intention of taking the Kunpeng.
Otherwise, if he were to kill the Kunpeng Ancestor, wouldn't that give others grounds for criticism?
Killing so many people is hardly the act of a saint...
Now that he had succeeded, he didn't plan to stay in Beiming any longer. He urged the white ox to change direction and flew towards the prehistoric world.
Not long after, he returned to the Heavenly Dao Palace on Mount Buzhou, pondered for a while, and then ordered the boy in green to go down the mountain and summon his second disciple, Yuan Huang.
After arriving at the Heavenly Dao Palace, Yuan Huang paid her respects to Hu Le and then asked him what instructions he had.
With a flick of his sleeve, Hu Le sent the Hetu Luoshu flying out and transforming into two balls of spiritual light that fell into Yuan Huang's arms.
"Teacher, this is..."
Yuan Huang held the spiritual light in her hands, completely bewildered.
She naturally recognized the Hetu and Luoshu.
"...Master, are you perhaps planning to bestow this treasure upon your disciple? This is truly..."
Yuan Huang quickly realized that her teacher was going to give her a magical treasure, and her face lit up with a smile as she was about to bow to Hu Le in gratitude.
Hu Le chuckled. What kind of good ideas was this little girl having?
"This treasure is not meant for you; you'd better not covet it..."
Hu Le's blunt words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Yuan Huang's head. She blinked her big eyes, her face full of disappointment.
"Alright! Don't be too greedy. I called you here today because I have something to tell you..."
Hu Le then called Yuan Huang over and began to give her instructions, word by word…
