Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 146 Zi Dong Has Been Chosen
The Great Xia Dynasty has been driven to the desert in the western part of the Western Continent, and the demon race continues to attack.

Elder Fengli immediately contacted the Great Xia Immortal Emperor, instructing the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty to send troops to cooperate with Zi Dong in attacking the Demon Clan.

Unexpectedly, the Great Xia Immortal Emperor looked down on Zi Dong, believing that he was unable to suppress the Demon Clan and could only suffer heavy losses.

No matter how much Elder Fengli advised him, the Great Xia Immortal Emperor refused to send troops, preferring to hide in the desert and eke out a living.

"No need to persuade him anymore." Zi Dong waved his hand helplessly at Elder Feng Li. They had to suppress the demons before they could convince the Great Xia Immortal Emperor.

With 100,000 Daoist cultivators, aided by the Heavenly Fortune Dao Disc, they were more than capable of suppressing the Demon Race, not to mention the Eastern Purple Qi.

Instead of staying in Tianshui City to cultivate, Zi Dong led 100,000 cultivators straight to Demon Heaven Peak in the central part of the Western Continent.

The Eastern Dao Ancestor did not leave any array eye in the Western Continent because the power of heaven and earth in the Western Continent was extremely violent, and leaving an array eye would completely destroy it.

The location of the Heavenly Fortune Dao Disc node in the Western Continent has only been selected; Zi Dong needs to rebuild it himself.

Therefore, Zi Dong will fight alongside 100,000 cultivators, using righteous energy to protect the node.

Zi Dong now has very strong control over his Xuan body and can cultivate righteous energy while walking.

Before coming to the Western Continent, Zi Dong had already devised this plan to deplete the demon race's manpower.

If we continue to advance by occupying territory, as we did in the Central Plains, it will consume a lot of resources.

Because nodes require frequent maintenance, and the demon race's powerful devouring ability will also consume a large amount of righteous energy.

Moreover, Donglai Ziqi kept reminding Zidong that when the demon race was suppressed, they would definitely open up the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Even the purple aura from the east couldn't completely resist the attacks of numerous celestial demons, and the purple east couldn't provide a massive amount of fortune.

"Sigh!" Zi Dong sighed inwardly. His cultivation level was still too low to obtain more fortune.

The Western Continent is even less suitable for fusing star power, so Zi Dong can only wait until he returns to the Eastern Continent to raise his cultivation to the Star Refining Realm.

Demon Peak is located in the center of the Western Continent and is the territory of the Heavenly Demon Clan, whose chieftain resides at the summit.

The patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan is the Demon Emperor, while the patriarchs of other demon clans are Demon Kings, and all must obey the Demon Emperor's orders.

If Zi Dong can take down Demon Heaven Peak, he will be able to intimidate other demons, which is equivalent to winning half of the victory in the conquest of the Western Continent.

Elder Fengli left her 50,000 men in Tianshui City, but she herself went to Demon Peak with Zi Dong.

She also needed to find an opportunity to persuade the Great Xia Immortal Emperor to cooperate with Zi Dong in suppressing the Demon Clan, and this was the best time.

The 100,000 Daoist cultivators advanced slowly toward Demon Heaven Peak because Zi Dong needed to continuously cultivate and set up nodes.

Moreover, the closer you get to Motian Peak, the more complex the terrain becomes, with not only continuous mountain ranges but also numerous rivers and lakes.

Flying in the Western Continent is extremely taxing; there are whirlwinds in the air just a hundred meters above the ground, and even demon cultivators dare not fly casually.

Only cultivators with a cultivation level of at least the Breaking Void Realm can live on a small hill that is a hundred meters high, while only those with a cultivation level of at least the Breaking Void Realm can live on a mountain that is a thousand meters high.

Because he couldn't consume too much of his righteous energy, Zi Dong could only use golden light to build a passage connecting Tianshui City and the teleportation array.

As the journey westward continued, the golden road became increasingly winding, requiring the traveler to bypass not only mountains but also rivers and lakes.

Black Dragon Sea, the largest lake in the Western Continent, is said to be the habitat of the Black Dragon and a strategic choke point east of Demon Sky Peak.

Zi Dong led an army of 100,000 cultivators to the east shore of the Black Dragon Sea. Just as they were about to rest and then bypass the Black Dragon Sea, hundreds of demon cultivators rushed over from the opposite shore.

"It's Crown Prince Jinpeng and Princess Jinlan of the Heavenly Demon Clan." Elder Fengli quickly informed Zidong of the visitors' identities. "What are they up to?!" Zidong used his divine sense to investigate but didn't discover a large number of demon cultivators, which puzzled him.

Among the hundreds of demon cultivators, only a dozen or so were at the Supreme Realm. Trying to contend with 100,000 Daoist cultivators was simply suicide!
"This prince of the Heavenly Demon Clan is very arrogant, and I'm afraid he has ill intentions!" Elder Feng Li said with a wry smile.

"What is Jinpeng's status in the Heavenly Demon Clan?" Zi Dong's lips curled into a sneer; he wanted to know the weight of this Heavenly Demon Clan's crown prince.

“The Heavenly Demon Clan Chief Jin Hong has many children. If the Crown Prince dies, another one can be chosen.”

Elder Feng Li spoke casually, showing she didn't take this Heavenly Demon Clan Crown Prince seriously:

"However, this little princess is Jin Hong's precious daughter. Her mother is the sister of the Great Xia Immortal Emperor."

"Oh?!" Zi Dong immediately revealed a gossipy expression, and Feng Qingwu and Zhou Xinyu also looked at Elder Feng Li in surprise.

"This is another reason why the Great Xia and the Demon Clan are sworn enemies," Elder Feng Li added.

"Then arrest them all!" Zi Dong clenched his fists excitedly and then walked towards the shore.

Hundreds of demon cultivators flew rapidly close to the surface of the Black Dragon Sea, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Cultivators in the Western Continent are used to flying close to the ground, which not only allows them to fly fast but also helps them avoid whirlwinds in the air.

"You are Zi Dong?!" The tall young man at the head of the group, dressed in a black robe with gold trim and a black dragon embroidered on his left chest, stood on the lake and asked Zi Dong arrogantly.

Beside her stood a tall girl in a black dress, making the Water Demon Princess appear petite and delicate, and even Feng Qingwu paled in comparison.

"Indeed." Zi Dong nodded with a smile: "May I ask who you are and what brings you here?"

"The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon Clan has come specifically to propose marriage for my Heavenly Demon Clan's little princess!" The tall, dark-skinned young man's face became even more arrogant.

"Aishang has already married the Water Demon Princess. It might not be appropriate for him to marry the Heavenly Demon Princess as well!" Zi Dong asked in surprise.

"What is Ai Shang? Does he even deserve to marry my Heavenly Demon Clan's little princess?!" The tall young man was furious.

"Who will the Demon Princess marry that day? I have 100,000 people here!"

Zi Dong glanced back at the 100,000 cultivators with feigned seriousness. As for a guy like the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon Clan, all he could do was humiliate him.

"How dare you insult this princess?!" Before the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon Clan could get angry, the tall girl beside him glared with her peach blossom eyes.

"So this is the little princess of the Heavenly Demon Clan! My apologies for not recognizing her!" Zi Dong quickly clasped his hands in apology.
"This isn't my fault! It's because the Crown Prince didn't explain clearly. I really do have 100,000 cultivators here!"

"Zi Dong, my Heavenly Demon Clan's little princess is naturally to marry you. Only you are worthy of my Heavenly Demon Clan's little princess!"

The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon Clan quickly stopped the little princess, who was about to fly into a rage, and pointed at Zi Dong, speaking proudly.

"No, no!" Zi Dong said, shaking his head as he looked at the proud little princess of the Heavenly Demon Clan.
"The little princess is as beautiful as a fairy and has profound cultivation. I am just a mere city lord. How could I be worthy of her? This is inappropriate!"

"Zi Dong, since my Heavenly Demon Clan's little princess has taken a liking to you, your status and cultivation are no problem. You should hurry up and come with me to Demon Heaven Peak to get married!"

The Crown Prince of the Heavenly Demon Clan casually gave an order, then looked at Feng Qingwu and Zhou Xinyu, pointing at them and saying, "Let the two of them go with me and become my consorts!"

"Pah!" As if they had planned it together, Feng Qingwu and Zhou Xinyu spat hard at the dark face of the Heavenly Demon Clan's Crown Prince.

"Your Highness, should my army of 100,000 cultivators still attack Demon Heaven Peak?" Zi Dong gestured to Feng Qingwu and Zhou Xinyu to calm down and asked sincerely.
