Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 144 United with the Water Demon Clan

"Aishang, would you be willing to marry the Water Demon Princess to Donglai City?"

Zi Dong ignored the aggressive Shui Ruoxin and turned to discuss with Ai Shang, who was also a rare beauty.

"Huh?!" Ai Shang looked at Zi Dong with a blank expression, not knowing what he meant.

"What do you mean, 'huh'?" Zi Dong glared at Ai Shang impatiently.
"The Water Demon Princess is very beautiful, a good match for you, and it will also help humans and Water Demons get along well. It's settled then!"

As Zi Dong finished speaking, before anyone could react, golden light suddenly surged from his right hand, directly binding Shui Ruoxin.

"Zi Dong, are you trying to steal a bride like the Water Demon Clan?!" Feng Qingwu immediately shouted gleefully.

"I call this adapting to local customs!" Zi Dong's lips curled into a wicked smile as he strode out of the cellar, carrying Shui Ruoxin, who was bound by the golden light.

Ai Shang stood there dumbfounded for a while, then, urged by Feng Qingwu, quickly followed the four of them away.

Under Elder Feng Li's pressure, the two water demon cultivators guarding Ai Shang dared not make a move and quickly reported to Shui Yun.

With Shuiyun's cultivation level, he was naturally fully aware of everything that happened inside the cellar and had already led his men to block the entrance.

"Lord Zidong, why have you kidnapped my Water Demon Clan princess?"

Shuiyun was very wary of the golden light that bound Shui Ruoxin, so she did not make a move immediately and was quite polite to Zidong.

"Chief Shuiyun, our human race has a custom that when a woman marries, she must go to her parents' home for three days."

Zi Dong didn't take the dozen or so Supreme Realm experts that Shui Yun brought seriously at all. He continued walking outside while talking, restraining Shui Ruoxin.

"Lord Zidong, this is Tianshui City, and you must follow the rules of my Water Demon Clan!" Shuiyun suppressed his anger and blocked Zidong's path again.

"Chief Shuiyun, since you have already agreed to this marriage, why bother about where the wedding is held?"

Zi Dong looked at Shui Yun with a smile: "Ai Shang is the president of the Donglai Chamber of Commerce. To marry the Water Demon Princess, the wedding must be held in Donglai City!"

"It was my Water Demon Princess who married Ai Shang, not the president of the Donglai Chamber of Commerce who married Shui Ruoxin!"

Shuiyun was furious. This was a matter of great importance concerning the reputation of the Water Demon Clan. How could they hold the wedding in Donglai City?!
"Clan Chief Shuiyun, it seems you truly don't understand the Donglai Merchant Guild!" Zi Dong said with a regretful expression.

"The Donglai Chamber of Commerce has already united with the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan, and will soon be stationed in the Central Continent. They will soon possess four-fifths of the resources of the Tianyun Continent. My purpose in coming to the Western Continent is to unite with the Demon Clan. At that time, the Donglai Chamber of Commerce will possess all the resources of the entire Tianyun Continent!"

"..." Shuiyun was a little confused by Zidong's words. Wasn't the Donglai Chamber of Commerce the most powerful force on the Tianyun Continent?!

While Shuiyun was still in a daze, Zidong led Shui Ruoxin past her and continued walking towards the outside of the Dongwang Mansion.

"By the way," Zi Dong suddenly turned around and said, "Shui Ruoxin needs two bridesmaids." Just as Shui Yun was about to stop him, Zi Dong said, "Shui Ruoxin needs two bridesmaids."

After searching among the people brought by Shuiyun for a moment, Zidong raised his hand and pointed at two female powerhouses at the Supreme Realm, and golden light immediately bound them!

Although these two are not young, they are both virgins, making them perfect bridesmaids for Shui Ruoxin.

Zi Dong's move immediately stunned Shui Yun and the Supreme Realm experts she brought, leaving the two Supreme Realm female experts with no chance to resist!
Shuiyun watched helplessly as Zidong swaggered away with Shui Ruoxin and Ai Shang, even capturing two Supreme Realm experts.

Although she was a first-grade Great Perfection Supreme Realm expert, she was not much stronger than these two women.

Since Zi Dong could bind them with golden light, he could also bind Shui Yun with golden light.

The power of heaven and earth in the Western Continent is violent, very similar to that of the Central Continent. Therefore, cultivators here can break through to the first rank of the Supreme Realm, but can only ascend when they reach the second rank.

However, cultivators from the Western Continent will also have their cultivation suppressed when they travel to the other three continents. Even with Zi Dong's strength, he cannot bind a Supreme Realm expert with golden light, and he can barely control a Void Breaking Realm cultivator like Shui Ruoxin.

The ability to bind two supreme-level female powerhouses was entirely due to the power of the Eastern Purple Qi.

However, as soon as Zi Dong flew out of Tianshui City and landed on the ground, an unexpected event occurred.

Shui Ruoxin and the two Supreme Realm female powerhouses were actually fusing the Righteous Qi, so Zi Dong had no choice but to ask the Eastern Purple Qi for help again.

[The Water Demon Clan is an anomaly among the Demon Clan.] Donglai Ziqi patiently explained to Zidong while controlling the purple-gold giant on Zhongtian Peak:

The Water Demon Clan has fused its devouring power with water-based techniques, allowing it not only to absorb power but also to fuse with it.

"Then wouldn't the Water Demon Clan be the most powerful beings among the demons?!"

Zi Dong asked curiously in his divine sense, for he knew that the most powerful demon race was the Heavenly Demon race.

The reason you ask this is because you don't understand the power of devouring!

The purple aura from the east admonished like an elder: "The power of devouring lies in its ferocity; the Water Demon Clan's fusion power is far too slow."

"So, if I increase my righteous energy, they won't be able to break free from their constraints?!"

Zi Dong suddenly realized and shouted, immediately mobilizing more golden light to bind the three of them.

Shuiyun did not chase after them, but sent someone to negotiate when Zidong and the others returned to Elder Fengli's temporary residence.

The visitor was Elder Shuiqing of the Water Demon Clan, the younger sister of Chief Shuiyun. Shuiyun agreed to unite with Donglai City and invited Zidong to take up residence in Tianshui City.

"Elder Shuiqing, does Clan Chief Shuiyun mean that the wedding of Aishang and Princess Shui Ruoxin should still be held in Tianshui City?"

With a smile, Zi Dong directly pointed out Shui Yun's intentions, which not only resolved the dispute but also secured his support from the Donglai Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, it leaves the demons with no grounds for blame, as the Water Demons did not ally with the Daoist sect, but only with Donglai City.

“Lord Zidong, now that we’ve joined forces, we shouldn’t distinguish between each other. It doesn’t matter where the wedding is held,” Elder Shuiqing said with a smile.

"Alright, then let's go back to Tianshui City!" Without a moment's hesitation, Zi Dong immediately led his men towards Tianshui City.

"Aunt Li, let's go!" Feng Qingwu urged when she saw Elder Feng Li still hesitating.

Elder Shuiqing was surprised that Zidong had brought Elder Fengli back to Tianshui City with him, and she really couldn't stop him.

"Auntie, Tianshui City is still the territory of my Water Demon Clan. Even if Feng Li brings everyone there, she won't be able to cause any trouble!"

Shui Ruoxin, who had long been freed from Zi Dong's restraints, was quite bold. Elder Feng Li was a defeated opponent of the Water Demon Clan, and besides, she had married Ai Shang.

Since Ai Shang is the president of the Donglai Chamber of Commerce and also Zi Dong's brother, he will definitely help the Water Demon Clan.

Zi Dong returned to Tianshui City, but Shui Yun was not happy because he brought too many people, including Elder Feng Li's men.

But since they took the initiative to join forces, they couldn't just kick them out. For their daughter's sake, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.

Shuiyun gave up the original City Lord's Mansion to Zidong, but as for Elder Fengli, she would not give up the East King's Mansion.
