Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 169 The Immortal's Conspiracy

Jinlan arrived in Tianshui City alone and was taken to the City Lord's Mansion by Shui Ruoxin, where she met Shui Yun and Feng Li.

"Aunt Yun, Elder Feng Li, my mother wishes to join forces with the Daoist sect to fight against the demon race!"

After exchanging greetings with Elders Shuiyun and Fengli, Jinlan immediately stated the purpose of her visit.

"Jinlan, although you are no longer the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan, you are still the princess of the Heavenly Demon Clan. Isn't it inappropriate for you to say such things?!" Shuiyun said with a mocking expression.

After Jinlan became the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan, she immediately attacked Tianshui City. How could Shuiyun possibly give her a friendly look?

“Aunt Yun, I have left the Heavenly Demon Clan and am now a member of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty,” Jin Lan said calmly.

"So Lan Xin'er allied with the Daoist sect in the name of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty?" Shui Yun asked sarcastically.

“My mother has already reached an agreement with the Great Xia Immortal Emperor; it is a joint effort between the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty and the Daoist sect,” Jinlan quickly explained.

"As the Eastern King of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty, I have not received any information about an alliance with the Daoist sect."

Before Shuiyun could speak, Elder Fengli said with a gloomy expression:

"Lan Xin'er can only represent the demons; she cannot represent the Great Xia Immortal Emperor!"

"Elder Feng Li, although you are the Eastern King of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty, my mother is the younger sister of the Great Xia Immortal Emperor. How can she not represent the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty?!" Jin Lan was furious.

“Although Lan Xin’er is the younger sister of the Great Xia Immortal Emperor, she has already betrayed the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty. How can she represent us?” Shui Yun would not help Jin Lan.

"Aunt Yun, my mother did not betray the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty," Jinlan argued.

"Although my mother married my father, she did not join the Demon Clan and remained a member of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty!"

"But the Great Xia Immortal Emperor has already removed your mother from the list, so how do you explain that?!" Elder Feng Li asked with a disdainful look.

"That's just a minor conflict between the siblings!" Jinlan said nonchalantly.

"If my mother had truly been expelled, how could she still remain in the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty?!"

"Jinlan, you know the whole story, so why are you still covering for your mother?" Shuiyun questioned bluntly.

"Aunt Yun, I didn't cover for Mother," Jinlan said, suppressing her anger. "Mother was just putting on an act with Uncle!"

"Hehe!" Elder Feng Li sneered. She knew very well what happened back then.

The old emperor died of anger because Lan Xin'er married Jin Hong. Crown Prince Lan Qi hastily ascended the throne and mobilized the entire nation to unite with the Taoist sect to attack the demon race.

The result was heavy losses, and they had to hide in the desert. However, Jin Hong turned misfortune into good fortune and became the chief of the Heavenly Demon Clan.

Because Lan Xin'er brought a large number of demons to the demon race, she also weakened the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty.

Lan Xin'er later returned to the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty entirely for the survival of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty.

Because most demons follow Lan Xin'er, this is the legacy left by Lan Xin'er's mother.

"Even if it's acting, isn't this acting right now?" Shuiyun could no longer contain her anger.

"Aunt Yun, everything my mother did was for the demons." Jinlan had no choice but to reveal the secret of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty.

The immortals established the Great Xia Dynasty to fight against gods and demons and to continue the lineage of immortals.

The lineage of gods and demons had long been severed, so they began to suppress immortals because more and more immortals were threatening them.

Under the constant suppression of gods and demons, the four races of the Heavenly Fortune Continent fell apart, and the lineage of immortals was quickly severed.

Through deduction, the immortals finally discovered the secret of the inheritance: the fusion of the bloodlines and powers of the four races. The four races originated from chaos, and by fusing their bloodlines and powers, one could obtain the power of chaos.

On the Tianyun Continent, the human race is the most powerful, while the demon race possesses the greatest strength.

After the immortals established the Great Xia Dynasty, they began to allow intermarriage between humans and demons, thus giving rise to demons.

Once a demon reaches a certain level of cultivation, he can fuse the bloodlines and power of the demon and witch races.

Demons who possess the bloodlines and power of the four races can become immortals. Lan Xin'er's mother was in charge of this plan and passed it on to Lan Xin'er.

"Jinlan, is everything you said true?!" Shuiyun asked in astonishment, as did Elder Fengli and Shui Ruoxin.

"Aunt Yun, this is the significance of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty's existence," Jinlan said excitedly.

"Ruoxin, immediately contact the City Lord of Zidong and have him join forces with the Demon Clan to completely annihilate the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty!" Shuiyun made the decision immediately.

"Aunt Yun, don't you want to become an immortal? Don't you want the Water Demon Clan to have any more immortals?" Jinlan asked confidently.

"Clan Chief Shuiyun, think twice!" Elder Fengli quickly advised, and Shui Ruoxin looked at her mother pleadingly.

"Elder Fengli, do you know what Jinlan is saying? Do you know the consequences of doing this?!" Shuiyun's face was extremely gloomy.

"Clan Chief Shuiyun, becoming an immortal is enough; nothing else matters," Elder Fengli said nonchalantly.

"Mother, what will be the consequences?!" Shui Ruoxin asked, bewildered.

"The four races will wage war continuously, and the demons will eventually rule the entire Tianyun Continent!" Although Shuiyun was answering her daughter's question, her eyes were fixed on Elder Fengli.

“Chief Shuiyun, demons don’t just come from the demon race, but also from the human race, the demon race, and the witch race, so there’s no need to worry,” Elder Fengli advised.

"Elder Feng Li, aren't all demons mainly composed of demons?!" Shui Ruoxin was even more puzzled.

"Although the demon race's devouring power is strong, demons are also the offspring of intermarriage between demons and humans. Devouring power is no longer important. Even the demon race and the witch race will find ways to reproduce their own demons," Elder Feng Li explained.

"Elder Feng Li, you underestimate the immortals of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty!" Shui Yun shook her head helplessly.

“Aunt Yun, as for who is in charge of the demons, that’s not important. Neither the demons nor the humans need to worry,” Jinlan advised again.

"Jinlan, is it really that simple?!" Shui Ruoxin had already figured it out and began to be wary of Jinlan and Lan Xin'er.

"Whether it's immortals or mortals, it's always been a dog-eat-dog world, so what's so complicated about it?" Jinlan looked at Shui Ruoxin with a sneer.

"Jinlan, you should go back first. As for the matter of joining forces with the Daoist sect, you should go and talk to Zidong yourselves." Shuiyun waved her hand impatiently.

Jinlan didn't say anything more. She was quite confident that not everyone could resist the allure of immortals.

Elder Fengli also took his leave, Shuiyun fell into deep thought, and Shui Ruoxin immediately returned to Xidao City.

"Jinlan told you this herself?!" Zi Dong was shocked upon hearing this and quickly inquired about Donglai Ziqi in his divine sense.

"Lan Xin'er wants the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty to unite with the Daoist sect to fight against the demon race and strengthen the demons," Shui Ruoxin explained.

"Lord of the city, we absolutely cannot ally with the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty. Instead, we must ally with the Demon Clan to destroy the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty!" Ai Shang quickly advised.

"Didn't you originally intend to join forces with Jinpeng to suppress the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty?" Donglai Ziqi didn't care at all.

"Donglai Ziqi, you knew about the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty's conspiracy all along?!" Zi Dong was even more shocked.

[The passage to the Immortal Realm is in the Central Continent; the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty's conspiracy is nothing but wishful thinking!] Donglai Ziqi scoffed.
