Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 142 Ai Shang's In-Laws
"Aunt Li, don't worry, Zi Dong will definitely help you take back Tianshui City!"

Seeing the doubt in Elder Feng Li's eyes, Feng Qingwu quickly explained for Zi Dong.

Feng Li was still skeptical. It wasn't that she didn't trust Zi Dong and Feng Qingwu, but rather that the Demon Clan was simply too powerful!

The teleportation array has been set up, and the Demon Suppression Legion, led by the three major sects of the Eastern Continent, is being teleported over one after another.

Zi Dong first selected 10,000 people and had them immediately merge with the golden light to prepare for repairing the node of the Heavenly Fortune Dao Disc in the Western Continent.

Zhou Yunting sent many array masters, bringing not only a large number of array plates but also a lot of materials, ready to refine array plates for Zi Dong at any time.

The node on the western continent was severely damaged. Fortunately, Zhou Yunting had thought things through, otherwise Zi Dong would not have been able to repair it in a short time.

The righteous energy quickly surrounded Tianshui City, driving all the demons into the city, and Tianshui City was completely sealed off.

Elder Fengli was surprised that Zi Dong had such methods, which greatly boosted her confidence. She immediately summoned her subordinates to prepare for the attack on the city.

Zi Dong didn't really think much of Elder Feng Li's 50,000 followers; there were few strong individuals among them, and most were low-level disciples.

The power of heaven and earth in the Western Continent is mixed and extremely violent, making it unsuitable for Daoist cultivators.

With the Heavenly Fortune Plate in place, as long as the Righteous Qi covers Tianshui City, ten thousand Daoist cultivators will be able to take it down.

But before Zi Dong could give the order to attack the city, Tianshui City was suddenly decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and people started beating drums and gongs.

Zi Dong quickly released his divine sense to investigate. With the support of righteous energy, his divine sense was no weaker than that of a Supreme Realm expert.

"Lord Zidong, this is a golden opportunity to unite with the Water Demon Clan!" Elder Fengli also released her divine sense to investigate at the same time.

The Water Demon Princess is going to marry Ai Shang!

“Elder Fengli, this matter still requires Ai Shang’s consent, otherwise I will not use my brother’s marriage as a bargaining chip!” Zi Dong answered decisively.

"Lord Zidong, if we can unite with the Water Demon Clan and make Ai Shang make some sacrifices, it would be worthwhile!" Elder Feng Li quickly advised.

"Aunt Li, let's wait until we see Ai Shang before we talk about it!" Feng Qingwu winked at Elder Feng Li, pulling her aside to stop her from trying to persuade Zi Dong.

Ai Shang has been helping Zi Dong manage the Donglai Chamber of Commerce, which is the foundation of the future Donglai City. Ai Shang is very important to Zi Dong.

"Enter the city!" Zi Dong said with a gloomy expression, and then strode towards Tianshui City. Zhou Xinyu and Feng Qingwu quickly followed.

Elder Feng Li hesitated for a moment, then caught up. If Zi Dong, a mere cultivator at the Heavenly Profound Realm, dared to enter the city, how could she, a Supreme Realm expert, possibly be weak in her aura?!
Moreover, she had to protect Feng Qingwu at all times; otherwise, how could she explain to the Feng family patriarch, as Feng Qingwu was the future hope of the Feng family?

The Water Demons are an anomaly among the demon races. They look exactly like humans, and their soul forms do not have a single horn on their heads.

Demons have low fertility, especially the males, so they capture human women to reproduce.

The Water Demon Clan is ruled by women, while the men have a lower status and cultivation level. The Water Demon Clan princess is the future clan leader.

Moreover, the Water Demon Clan has always opposed war with the Daoist sects and is unwilling to invade the Eastern Continent. They only want to protect the Western Continent and destroy the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty.

Zi Dong and his group of four swaggered into Tianshui City without being stopped, although the Water Demon Clan cultivators were very wary.

Although Tianshui City was already surrounded by golden light, the Water Demon Clan was not panicked because Elder Fengli posed no threat to them.

"Hey, get your leader over here!" Zi Dongfei shouted to the city guards after entering the city.

"Who are you?" a burly man in a black robe stepped forward and demanded, his left chest embroidered with blue water patterns.

"We are Ai Shang's friends. Go and inform your clan chief that we wish to see Ai Shang!" Zi Dong commanded sternly.

"Wait here!" The burly man in black robes sized up Zi Dong and his companions again before rushing into the city. "City Lord Zi Dong, you should be more polite to the Water Demon Clan Chief," Elder Feng Li quickly advised in a low voice.

"They captured my brother, and I'm supposed to be polite to them?!" Zi Dong shouted angrily.

The cultivators guarding the city immediately surrounded them, becoming even more vigilant. They would take immediate action if Zi Dong and his companions made any unusual moves.

"There's a tavern over there, let's eat and wait," Feng Qingwu said, glancing disdainfully at the low-level cultivators of the Water Demon Clan and pointing to the tavern by the roadside.

"Let's go!" Zi Dong waved his hand and walked directly towards the tavern. The water demon cultivators blocking his way quickly dispersed to make way.

Tianshui City originally belonged to Elder Fengli, and this tavern was also run by humans. After it was occupied by the Water Demon Clan, they simply had to pay more taxes.

When the tavern owner and waiter saw Zi Dong and his companions enter, they treated them like family, especially admiring Zi Dong even more.

Within Tianshui City, only Zi Dong dared to act arrogantly towards the Water Demon Clan cultivators, which made the humans feel relieved.

"Please help yourselves, gentlemen. It's on me!" The tavern owner said with a beaming smile as he ushered Zi Dong and his companions in.

"When the Water Demon Clan Chief arrives, let her invite you!" Zi Dong sat down with an air of nonchalance and casually waved to the tavern owner.

"This..." The tavern owner's eyes widened in shock, his wrinkled face vanishing completely. How dare they let the Water Demon Clan's patriarch treat them to a meal?!

"What are you all standing there for? Bring out the best wine and food!" Feng Qingwu, sitting next to Zi Dong, immediately gave the order.

"Coming right away, coming right away!" the tavern owner quickly agreed, stumbling as he jogged towards the kitchen.

“The Water Demon Clan Chief should indeed treat us, his in-laws, to a big meal!” Elder Feng Li said loudly after sitting down.

"Hmph, this city lord has not yet agreed to this marriage!" Zi Dong snorted coldly, picked up the tea poured by the waiter, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing the four of them, Zi Dong and his companions hurriedly paid their bills and left, including the Water Demon Clan.

The tavern owner personally served the dishes, quickly filling the table. A burly man in a black robe also hurriedly led two women in black dresses over.

"Clan leader, it's these four!" The burly man in black robes stepped forward, pointed at Zi Dong and his group of four, and respectfully addressed the older woman behind him.

"Clan Chief Shuiyun, how have you been?" Elder Fengli immediately stood up and looked at the older woman with a smile.

"Eastern King, how dare you, a defeated general, come to Tianshui City?!" the older woman shouted sternly.

"Even Palace Master Lian Jixuan fears the City Lord of Zidong, where would I dare not go?!" Elder Feng Li said with a smile.

"Hmph, this is the Western Continent, not the Central Continent!" The older woman frowned slightly and glanced at Zi Dong, who was still eating and drinking in silence.

"Which of you is Ai Shang's friend?!" The young woman behind the older woman stepped forward and shouted at Zi Dong and the other two.

"Who are you?" Zi Dong casually put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass, turned around in his chair, and asked with a slight frown.

"Princess Shui Ruoxin of the Water Demon Clan!" The young woman was greatly angered by Zi Dong's arrogance.

"Where's Ai Shang?" Zi Dong picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and asked arrogantly.

"Who are you?!" The young woman was furious, clenching her fists and glaring at Zi Dong.

"Zi Dong, the city lord of Donglai City, is Ai Shang's brother." Zi Dong continued to look at the young woman with an arrogant expression.

"Aishang is at the city lord's mansion. If you want to see him, come with me!" The young woman glared at Zi Dong, then turned and pulled the older woman out of the tavern.
