Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 152 A Golden City

"Father, should I go to Tianshui City to see Chief Shuiyun first?" Princess Jinlan quickly advised.

Shuiyun and Jinlan's mother, Lanxin'er, are best friends. If anything happens to Shuiyun, Lanxin'er will definitely fight Jin Hong to the death.

"Alright." Jin Hong pondered for a moment, then nodded helplessly: "Lan'er, be careful."

Lan Xin'er betrayed the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty for Jin Hong and even gave birth to a lovely daughter for him, which made Jin Hong feel very guilty.

Moreover, Lan Xin'er has quite a few Taoist cultivators who understand array formations, which is exactly what the Demon Clan needs, so Jin Hong naturally dares not offend them.

Jinlan immediately flew to Tianshui City with four guards, constantly contacting Shui Ruoxin along the way, hoping she could persuade Shuiyun first.

After all, Shuiyun was Jinlan's elder, and there were some things that couldn't be said directly, so Jinlan didn't dare to go to her mother.

Although Lan Xin'er married Jin Hong, she opposed the conflict between the demon race and the human race, so she would only help Shui Yun instead of persuading Shui Yun to compromise.

Influenced by her mother, Jinlan and Shui Ruoxin are also best friends, and Shui Ruoxin will definitely help her persuade Shuiyun.

Jinlan's four guards are all first-grade supreme realm female powerhouses, two are Heavenly Demon Clan cultivators, and two are Daoist cultivators.

It was carefully chosen by Jin Hong and Lan Xin'er for her, so that it could protect Jin Lan no matter where she was in the Tianyun Continent.

The city of Tianshui is currently enveloped by a huge golden dome, which looks like a half-set sun from a distance.

Because the Water Demon Clan had allied with the Daoist sect, and Ai Shang had even become the Water Demon Clan's son-in-law, Zi Dong directly used Tianshui City as the main base for attacking the Demon Clan.

"Princess, we can't get in." A Taoist guard flew around Tianshui City and reported helplessly.

"No rush, Shui Ruoxin will come to pick us up!" Jinlan looked at the glittering Tianshui City with some annoyance.

Shui Ruoxin promised to wait for her outside Tianshui City, but Jinlan didn't see a single person, and the city gates were tightly closed.

Seeing that Jinlan was angry, the four guards did not dare to say another word, and all stared indifferently at the tightly closed city gate.

"Shui Ruoxin, where have you been? I'm already outside Tianshui City!" Jin Lan grew increasingly annoyed as she waited, and had no choice but to contact Shui Ruoxin again.

"Jinlan, how did you get here so quickly? I'll come out to meet you right away!" Shui Ruoxin quickly agreed.

She and Jinlan did have a very good relationship, not to mention the connection between their mothers, but Shui Ruoxin really didn't want to see Jinlan right now.

The Water Demons are an anomaly among the demon races. They dislike fighting even more than Taoist cultivators because they can absorb the power they need from the water.

Demons aren't born with a love for killing; they just find it faster to devour the power of others than to cultivate themselves, especially the pure power of Daoist cultivators.

If other demons possess the talent of water demon cultivators, they too will venture into the ocean to cultivate, but devouring others will also result in a backlash.

Shui Ruoxin knew, of course, that Jinlan's purpose in coming here was to persuade the Water Demon Clan to eliminate Zidong and even attack the Eastern Continent.

Cultivators cultivate in pursuit of the Great Dao, and no one can guarantee their survival in war. Naturally, the Water Demon Clan is unwilling to risk their lives against Daoist cultivators.

Shui Ruoxin didn't delay this time and quickly went out of the city to pick up Jinlan, but she brought Ai Shang with her.

"Who is he?!" Jinlan immediately realized Ai Shang's identity and questioned Shui Ruoxin with a furrowed brow.

"Aishang, this is Jinlan, my best friend," Shui Ruoxin introduced with a charming smile.

"Aishang greets the little princess." Aisang stepped forward gracefully, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said.

"Shui Ruoxin, what do you mean?!" Jinlan glared at Ai Shang and questioned him again.

“Aishang is my husband, of course I have to introduce him to you!” Shui Ruoxin said in a matter-of-fact manner.

"When did you get married? Why didn't you tell me?!" Jinlan was taken aback. "I was going to tell you, but the wedding was a bit rushed, and I didn't have time to inform you," Shui Ruoxin said apologetically.

"Shui Ruoxin, how could you marry a Taoist cultivator?!" Jinlan questioned sharply.

"Jinlan, didn't you also want to marry Zidong? He's also a Taoist cultivator!" Shui Ruoxin retorted, dissatisfied.

"How can he be compared to Zi Dong?!" Jin Lan pointed at Ai Shang and angrily rebuked.

“Aishang is the president of the Donglai Chamber of Commerce, and his status in Donglai City is second only to Zidong. How can he not be compared to her?!” Shui Ruoxin asked proudly.

“Zi Dong is the spokesperson for the Eastern Dao Ancestor. How can a mere guild leader compare to him?!” Jin Lan glanced at Ai Shang with disdain.

“Aishang is still Zidong’s good brother, so he naturally has a say in front of Dao Ancestor Donglai!” Shui Ruoxin argued sophistry.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you. Take me to see Aunt Yun!" Jinlan glared at Shui Ruoxin and headed straight for the city gate.

"My mom went to the beach and won't be back for a few days," Shui Ruoxin quickly caught up with.

"Take me to the beach to find Aunt Yun!" Jinlan stopped abruptly, turned around and glared at Shui Ruoxin.

“My mother went to cultivate, I can’t find her!” Shui Ruoxin shook her head helplessly, letting Jinlan figure out a way herself.

"When will Aunt Yun be back?!" Jinlan frowned. If she couldn't see Shuiyun, her trip would have been in vain.

"That's hard to say," Shui Ruoxin continued, shaking her head. "If my mother starts cultivating, it could take several years!"

"My father has ordered a full-scale attack on Tianshui City. Do you want to see the Water Demon Clan completely wiped out?!" Jinlan had no choice but to threaten.

"Jinlan, look at Tianshui City, who can get in?" Shui Ruoxin pointed disdainfully at the glittering Tianshui City.

"Even if Zi Dong were to sit in Tianshui City and devour hundreds of thousands of demon cultivators at once, he wouldn't be able to stop them!" Jin Lan was not about to back down.

"Why didn't those demon cultivators stop Zi Dong? He's almost reached Demon Heaven Peak!" Shui Ruoxin said with a laugh, angrily scolding Jin Lan.

"I personally brought Zi Dong to Blood Demon Mountain!" Jin Lan shouted loudly, but her voice lacked conviction.

"Do you even believe that yourself?!" Shui Ruoxin continued to provoke her, "The demons have been blocking our way the whole way, and they've suffered heavy losses!"

"Hmph, Zi Dong will soon marry into the Heavenly Demon Clan. Will he listen to my father or him?!" Jin Lan pointed triumphantly at Ai Shang.

"Then Zi Dong will have to protect Ai Shang even more, and Tianshui City will be even safer!" Shui Ruoxin said with even more pride.

"What do you mean?!" Jinlan was a little confused and didn't understand Shui Ruoxin's words.

"What's so hard to understand!" Shui Ruoxin looked at Jinlan with a haughty air.

“Once Zi Dong becomes the son-in-law of the Heavenly Demon Clan, he will have to protect his brothers even more. I am his brother’s wife, so the Water Demon Clan will naturally be safer!”

"Hmph, I don't have time to chat with you. Take me to Aunt Yun!" Jinlan put on airs, she was completely bewildered by Shui Ruoxin.

"Little princess, I really can't find it. Why don't you go inside Tianshui City and wait?" Shui Ruoxin said, feigning helplessness.

"Send more people to take this princess to find her!" Jinlan said sternly. She was the little princess of the entire demon race, with more power than Shui Ruoxin.

"The clan leader ordered me to stay in Tianshui City and not leave without permission, nor can I send all my men out." Shui Ruoxin also put on a stern face.

"Shui Ruoxin, do you believe it or not, this princess can arrest you right now!" Jinlan roared in fury.
