Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 150 The Dragon Reappears
"Since the Heavenly Demon Clan Chief has personally invited me, I must go to Demon Heaven Peak," Zi Dong said solemnly.

"However, let's wait until the Righteousness Bridge is built before we go together."

“I can fly you there.” Princess Jinlan thought Zidong wouldn’t dare to fly at high altitudes.

"Little princess, our relationship isn't at the point where we can entrust our lives to each other, is it?"

Zi Dong revealed a slight contemptuous smile. His cultivation level was indeed not high, but it was not so high that he needed someone else to carry him.

"Since we are about to become husband and wife, why not entrust our lives to each other now?"

Princess Jinlan didn't care about Zidong's disdain; on the contrary, she admired him, thinking that a man should have pride.

"Little princess, two people who are about to become husband and wife shouldn't be risking their lives, should they? Shouldn't they first deepen their relationship, that is, open their hearts to each other?"

Zi Dong curled his lip. Demons are all barbarians who only know how to risk their lives. They don't understand what emotions are at all.

"You can only have feelings for each other if you trust each other. How can you open your heart to someone you can't even entrust your life to?!"

The little princess is not one of those barbaric demons; she spent her childhood in the Great Xia Dynasty.

"That's right!" Zi Dong slapped his thigh. "Trust is the foundation of everything, but building trust takes time. Let's take it slow!"

"My father is waiting to see you, how long are you going to take?!" The little princess glared angrily at Zi Dong.

"How can I keep the clan leader waiting for me? I'll go as soon as I build the bridge of righteousness!"

After making his solemn promise, Zi Dong immediately began cultivating, completely ignoring the little princess's fiery eyes.

Left with no other option, Princess Jinlan had to contact her father. She was quite certain that Zidong was just stalling for time.

"What is he doing now?" Jin Hong, the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan, remained calm, seemingly not taking the 100,000 Daoist cultivators led by Zi Dong seriously.

"He is currently cultivating, preparing to build a bridge of righteous energy between Demon Heaven Peak and Blood Demon Mountain," Princess Jinlan answered truthfully.

"Then let me build a Heavenly Demon Bridge first!" Jin Hong, the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan, said proudly.

Before Princess Jinlan could react, the dark clouds atop Demon Heaven Peak began to churn.

It then rapidly rolled towards Blood Demon Mountain, which was filled with enormous humanoid monsters with horns on their heads.

"Auspicious purple energy is coming from the east! What should we do?!" Zi Dong shouted in his mind.

"What's there to be afraid of? The dragon souls are starving!" Donglai Ziqi said dismissively.

"Dragon souls need to eat?!" Zi Dong was stunned. He had no idea that ghosts could eat and drink.

"All life needs to eat, only the food is different!" Donglai Ziqi immediately reprimanded.

"Then what will you eat?!" Zi Dong was shocked. Even the purple aura from the east needed to eat!
"Haven't you noticed you're eating more and more?" Donglai Ziqi asked with a hint of teasing.

"So, you've been eating me all along?!" Zi Dong asked in utter terror.

"I only ate the essence that you absorbed. Just eat more good food in the future!" Donglai Ziqi said nonchalantly.

Zi Dong remained silent. Although the phrase "Eastern Purple Qi" sounded nice, it was actually a way of ripping him off!
But what could he do?

Unless he expels the purple aura from the east from his body!
Then we can only become stronger, at least stronger than the Eastern Purple Qi!

Zi Dong shook his head with a wry smile. The purple aura from the east was so powerful that even Palace Master Ji Xuan was no match for it. How long would he have to wait?
"Let's hurry up and cultivate. Only by constantly cultivating can we become stronger." Zi Dong simply closed his eyes and handed over the Heavenly Demons to Donglai Ziqi.

Princess Jinlan had been observing Zidong's reaction and found that he was only nervous for a moment before continuing his cultivation.

Just as she was wondering, more than a dozen purple-gold dragons suddenly rushed out from the Xuan body above Zi Dong's head.

It roared silently at the surging demons, then flew away carrying golden light.

"So many dragon souls?!" Jin Hong, the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan, exclaimed in surprise.

On the Heavenly Fortune Continent, the dragon race is the strongest; even the Heavenly Demon God is no match for the Heavenly Dragon. Everything on the Heavenly Fortune Continent is food for the dragons, and the Heavenly Demons, having lost their physical bodies, are no match for the dragon souls.

Jin Hong quickly ordered the Heavenly Demon to retreat. He dared not risk the Heavenly Demon against the Dragon Soul, as that would mean losing control of the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Once a large number of Heavenly Demons are devoured by the Dragon Soul, the Heavenly Demon God will definitely take his anger out on him.

Seeing the Heavenly Demon retreat, the purple aura from the east did not allow the dragon soul to pursue it, but instead circled around the purple aura's body.

Princess Jinlan quickly moved away from Zi Dong, worried that these dragon souls would attack her, because she had also merged with the Heavenly Demon.

"Jin Peng, find a way to bring Zi Dong to Demon Heaven Peak," Jin Hong ordered immediately after returning the Heavenly Demon to the Heavenly Demon Realm.

"Father, I'm afraid he won't want to come!" Jin Peng said with a bitter face.

He hadn't expected Zi Dong to be able to produce so many dragon souls; no wonder he dared to come to the Western Continent.

"Agree to any condition he sets!" Jin Hong glared angrily at Jin Peng.

"Yes." Jinpeng quickly agreed and immediately flew towards Blood Demon Mountain.

However, the mountaintop was filled with soaring dragons, so Jinpeng had to fly to the middle of the mountain before climbing back to the top.

"Little sister, Father wants us to find a way to bring Zi Dong to Mo Tian Peak."

Jin Peng cautiously approached Jin Lan and whispered something to her.

"He said he wanted to build a bridge of righteousness first," Jinlan said helplessly, glancing up at the giant dragon in the sky.

"Father said he would agree to all his conditions!" Jin Peng gritted his teeth, knowing he had no choice but to take a gamble.

Zi Dong cultivated for ten days before stopping because the Eastern Purple Qi needed to purify the power of heaven and earth at the top of Blood Demon Mountain.

The mixed and chaotic power of heaven and earth in the Western Continent made Zi Dong's cultivation speed extremely slow, but the Central Continent could not wait.

"Zi Dong, the teleportation array in Donglai City has been set up. I will take people to rescue your family and friends right away!"

Jin Peng quickly pulled Jin Lan closer, his attitude quite sincere, just like that of his family and friends.

"Your Highness, are you going immediately?" Zi Dong didn't believe Jin Peng was being so kind.

"Before you save your family and friends, you should go see the clan chief and confirm your relationship with Jinlan."

Jin Peng immediately made a request. How could he easily take risks? Donglai City was located in the heart of the Eastern Continent.

"Let's talk about it after I've built the Bridge of Righteousness!" Zi Dong feigned a helpless expression.

"Zi Dong, do you control all these dragons?" Jin Peng cautiously pointed to the dragons soaring around Xuan Ti.

"It's controlled by the avatar of the Eastern Dao Ancestor," Zi Dong said proudly. "However, it's also controlled by me!"

"Zi Dong, could we put these dragons away first?" Jin Peng asked in a low voice.

"Why?!" Zi Dong asked in feigned surprise, seeing this as a good opportunity to learn about the demon race.

“These dragons could easily anger the Heavenly Demon God, and you will be implicated!” Jinpeng quickly explained.

"Is the Heavenly Demon God afraid of these giant dragons?" Zi Dong looked at Jin Peng with a sincere expression, like a curious child.

"How could the Heavenly Demon God be afraid of these giant dragons!" Jinpeng feigned a disdainful expression, but lowered his voice even further.

"Why did the Demon God get angry that day?!" Zi Dong looked at Jin Peng with even greater sincerity.

"Because the Heavenly Demons and the Dragon Clan are mortal enemies!" Jinlan said in a low, disgruntled voice when she saw Jinpeng scratching his head.
