Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 109 Righteous Spirit
After returning to Canglan City, Pei Wende immediately ordered his men to contact various surrounding forces and prepare to destroy Donglai City!
Although Canglan City is on the north bank, Pei Wende's influence is south of the Canglan River, so Donglai City must not be allowed to exist.

The reason for building the city on the north bank of the Canglan River was to prevent the Yuntian Sect from infiltrating south of the Canglan River.

Back then, the Yuntian Sect and the Guangyan Sect almost came to blows over Canglan City, but they stopped fighting after the mediation of the Daoist Elders' Council.

Yuntian Sect, Guangyan Sect, and Pei Wende each own one-third of Canglan City, which is managed by Pei Wende.

Canglan City was built by Pei Wende with the secret help of Guangyan Sect, and he was willing to give Guangyan Sect one-third of it.

However, he was extremely angry that Yun Tianzong had taken one-third of it, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

Then kill Zi Dong, so that the Yun Tian Sect will never again be able to destroy Dong Lai City in the name of the Dong Lai Dao Ancestor!
Pei Wende personally contacted Guangyanzong and revealed his plan in detail, which immediately gained Guangyanzong's support.

Moreover, he handed over all the forces near the Canglan River to Pei Wende for deployment, so that they could focus all their efforts on dealing with Donglai City.

Pei Wende naturally understood that Guang Yanzong was using him as cannon fodder so that he could reap the benefits.

But he had no other choice but to completely submit to the Guangyan Sect, otherwise he would lose Canglan City completely.

Sikong Bo never expected that Pei Wende would dare to take such a desperate gamble and lead more than 50,000 cultivators to attack Donglai City.

"Master Sikong, what do we do?!" Zi Dong was even more surprised that Donglai City only had a little over two thousand people, and they were no match for Pei Wende.

"Don't you have the Eastern Dao Ancestor? Ask him to step in!" Sikong Bo actually abandoned all responsibility.

“Donglai Ziqi, what should we do?” Zi Dong glanced at Sikong Bo, who was looking down at the city, and had no choice but to ask Donglai Ziqi for help.

[Have Sikong Bo contact Zhou Yunting and send reinforcements immediately!] Donglai Ziqi was furious.

"The Canglan River is not close to the Qinglong Mountains, there's simply no time to make it." Zi Dong was even angrier, as Donglai Ziqi and Sikong Bo were actually passing the buck to each other.

[A cultivator at the Void Breaking Realm can traverse the void, how could it be too late?!] Donglai Ziqi became even more furious.

“Pei Wende brought more than 50,000 people. Canglan River is his territory, and he can mobilize more people at any time. Even if all the Void Breaking Realm elders of Yuntian Sect came, they would not be able to cope!” Zi Dong quickly explained.

[Hmph, Sikong Bo deliberately forced Dao Ancestor Donglai to show himself!] Donglai Ziqi muttered in dissatisfaction, then roared angrily:
【Then let them witness the true power of the Eastern Dao Ancestor!】

Zi Dong was startled by the shout and was about to ask what to do when the purple mist surged out of his body.

The amethyst giant quickly materialized and rose into the sky, while the purple mist followed, rushing out of the city.

Zi Dong's divine sense was fixed on the amethyst giant, and at the same time, he rushed out of the city with the purple mist. He wanted to see how the purple qi from the east would deal with the Taoist cultivators.

If it can devour demon cultivators, devour gu worms, and defeat demonic cultivators, then what methods will Donglai Ziqi use to deal with Daoist cultivators?
"Huh?!" Zi Dong looked up at the sky in surprise. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was not a ray of sunshine.

But golden light shimmered within the purple mist, and it grew increasingly dense, quickly transforming into golden mist that enveloped the entire city of Donglai in a dazzling golden glow.

The amethyst giant has also turned into a golden crystal!

Zi Dong did not sense any powerful force in the golden light; it was very neutral and peaceful, just like real sunlight.

The cultivators were not afraid of the sunlight, but when the golden mist rushed past, all 50,000 cultivators brought by Pei Wende hurriedly retreated with tense expressions.

Zi Dong's eyes widened immediately. He felt that the golden light was like sunlight, and he didn't know why these cultivators were so afraid.

How could these cultivators retreat faster than the golden light? When the first cultivator was enveloped by the golden light, he actually knelt on the ground!

Immediately, more cultivators enveloped in golden light knelt on the ground, their faces contorted in pain. Those cultivators not enveloped in golden light were no longer just nervous, but filled with terror.

Some cultivators had even begun to flee, and even Pei Wende was hesitating whether he should run away.

[Pei Wende, submit to Zi Dong immediately, or this Dao Ancestor will strip you of all your cultivation!]

Just as Pei Wende was hesitating, the golden crystal giant formed from the purple aura from the east suddenly shouted.

Golden light had completely surrounded Pei Wende, leaving him no chance to escape.

"You...you really are the Ancestor of the Eastern Dao?!" Pei Wende stared at the golden crystal giant above Donglai City and asked loudly with a face full of fear.

[Submit to Zi Dong, and you will know everything.] The Golden Crystal Giant directly pushed Zi Dong into the eye of the storm.

“Zi Dong, Canglan City is willing to submit to Donglai City.” Pei Wende made the decision after only ten breaths of contemplation.

Zi Dong was shocked, as were Feng Qingwu, Zhou Xinyu, and the others. Only Si Kongkong nodded to himself as he gazed at the golden light.

Because he knew what the golden light was—it was the righteous energy of Taoism, which only the Eastern Taoist Ancestor could truly possess.

"A purple aura comes from the east, why would Pei Wende submit? What is the golden light?!"

After Pei Wende led his men away, the purple mist returned to his body, and Zi Dong immediately asked.

"Of course, it's because of the Eastern Dao Ancestor!" the Eastern Purple Qi said proudly. "As for what the golden light is, go ask Sikong Bo."

The crisis in Donglai City was resolved so easily, and Canglan City was also subdued.

Only the cultivators who followed Pei Wende in attacking Donglai City knew what was going on; even the Guangyan Sect was baffled.

Construction on Donglai City continued, and members of the Demon Hunter Corps arrived one after another. Many cultivators from affiliated sects of the Yuntian Sect also came to join Donglai City.

"Master Sikong, what are those golden lights?" Zi Dong finally seized an opportunity.

"The Dao Ancestor of the East is inside your body. Why don't you ask him or me?" Sikong Bo looked at Zi Dong in surprise.

"He won't tell his disciple, so he makes his disciple come to ask you." Zi Dong looked at Sikong Bo with a helpless expression.

"Golden light is the righteous energy of Taoism, which can completely unleash the demons deep within a cultivator's heart."

Sikong Bo glanced at Zi Dong, then looked up at the bright midday sun before speaking solemnly.

"Master Sikong, do all Daoist cultivators harbor demons deep within their hearts?!" Zi Dong looked at Sikong Bo in astonishment.

Everyone has inner demons, but how could there be demons deep within the hearts of Taoist cultivators?!

“Demons reside in people’s hearts, otherwise where would demons come from?” Sikong Bo glanced at Zi Dong again, then turned and left.

"..." Zi Dong stared in shock at Sikong Bo's proud back. Could it be that all demons and monsters are transformed from Taoist cultivators?!

Donglai City was quickly completed, and many cultivators from the Canglan River area came to join it. Including the cultivators from the Yuntian Sect, there were already more than 20,000.

Although Canglan City had submitted, Zi Dong did not go to accept it. Si Kongbo instructed him to handle it calmly, as he wanted to observe the reaction of Guangyan Sect.
