Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 36 Challenge, challenge, challenge!

After leaving the Ziyun Hall, Feng Yuntian began to regret his actions. He knew that Zhou Yunting would never agree to Zi Dong marrying Feng Qingwu, which was why he had sent him away.

He didn't dare return to his own residence, fearing that Feng Qingwu would cause trouble for him again, and instead went to his father's residence once more.

The Grand Elder Feng Song was enjoying Cloud Mist Tea alone. This tea was produced exclusively on Cloud Sky Peak and was produced in very limited quantities.

There are only a few tea trees on the back mountain, which can be harvested once a year, enough for the Supreme Elders, the Sect Master, and the Great Elder to enjoy every day.

Feng Yuntian and the elders receive a few leaves each month, which they must save to entertain guests; they dare not drink them themselves.

All you need is a tender, verdant bud, placed in a jade-like, milky-white teacup, and brewed with spring water from the same mountain behind the house.

The tender buds instantly transformed into nine-colored clouds, floating slowly in the teacup without dissipating, making one reluctant to drink it.

Upon tasting, it transforms into a clear spring, a hint of bitterness awakens the taste buds, quickly bringing sweetness, followed by a refreshing fragrance throughout the body.

A Qi Refining Realm disciple drinking one cup is equivalent to a month of arduous cultivation; not only will their spiritual energy be abundant, but their spirit will also be greatly enhanced.

The Cloud Mist Tea Tree absorbs not only the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also the luck of the Cloud Heaven Sect, and it can only grow on Cloud Heaven Peak where spring reigns all year round.

Because Yuntian Peak is the center of the Qinglong Mountain Range, it gathers the fortune of the entire dragon vein, and the Yunwu Tea Tree only recognizes the soil here.

"Father." Feng Yuntian tiptoed into Feng Song's study, respectfully called out softly, and then stood by the door with his head bowed and hands at his sides.

"Sit down." Feng Song held his teacup, admiring the nine-colored mist formed by the cloud and mist tea, and was a little conflicted about whether to drink it.

"Father, Zhou Yunting has not agreed to Qingwu's marriage proposal." Feng Yuntian didn't dare to sit down and quickly reported first.

"Would you like a drink?" Feng Song was still admiring the scenery and completely ignored what Feng Yuntian was saying. Instead, he wanted to give him a drink as well.

"Father, I am not fortunate enough to have this taste." Feng Yuntian unconsciously swallowed, he really didn't dare to drink it, and he had sent most of the Cloud Mist Tea he got to Feng Song.

Because Feng Song still harbors resentment over him not becoming the sect leader, he scolds him whenever he is unhappy.

After failing to win the position of sect leader against Zhou Yunting's master, Feng Song placed his hopes on Feng Yuntian.

The Grand Elder is nominally the elder who leads the sect, but most elders follow the sect leader's lead blindly.

The only role of the Grand Elder is to oversee things when the Sect Master leaves the sect, but would the Sect Master leave the sect so easily?
If Feng Yuntian hadn't been so obsessed with women, with the help of his ancestor and father, he could have easily defeated Zhou Yunting and seized the position of sect leader.

Cultivators can also take concubines, but they cannot affect the sect. Feng Yuntian almost used the entire Yuntian Sect as a dowry.

The Feng family patriarch and the eldest elder, Feng Song, almost sacrificed all their accumulated prestige to help Feng Yuntian settle the matter, so naturally they could no longer serve as sect leaders.

"If Zhou Yunting doesn't agree, then spread the word on Yuntian Peak that Qingwu and Zidong have secretly pledged their love. If Zhou Yunting still tries to obstruct them, I will have the elders put pressure on him and seize his position as sect leader!"

Feng Song finally finished the cup of Cloud Mist Tea in one gulp, savoring it with his eyes closed while instructing Feng Yuntian on what to do.

"Yes, Father." Feng Yuntian quickly agreed, then turned to leave to take care of the matter immediately.

"If you wish to leave Yuntian Peak anytime soon, you must obtain my permission; otherwise, never come to see me again!"

Feng Song opened his eyes, two cold glints shooting straight at Feng Yuntian as he turned halfway to the side, his voice as cold as the dead of winter.

"Your son will obey your command, Father!" Feng Yuntian almost knelt down before Feng Song. He trembled for a long time, and only after seeing Feng Song close his eyes again did he carefully leave.

Zi Dong had a clear conscience; he and Feng Qingwu had nothing going on, let alone a secret engagement—that was something Heaven could attest to! However, Zhou Yunting was in a dilemma. He couldn't interfere in this matter and could only let Zi Dong deal with it himself, so as not to give the Feng family any ammunition.

Elder Yuanchen was raging in the Hall of Affairs when the arena was just set up, and Zi Dong's challenge to Li Kunlun was canceled.

But when the arena was only half dismantled, news came that Li Kunlun wanted to challenge Zi Dong, so the arena had to be rebuilt.

"What do you think our Hall of Affairs is?!" Elder Yuanchen was so angry that he was about to go and argue with Zhou Yunting immediately.

The deacons quickly tried to dissuade him, saying that this matter had nothing to do with the sect leader and that it was entirely the Feng family's doing behind the scenes.

Elder Yuanchen thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, so he had no choice but to have the stewards rebuild the arena and dismantle it once things calmed down.

Just as they finished dealing with the arena matters, Zi Dong and Zhou Xinyu came over again. Zi Dong wanted to admit defeat directly and give Feng Qingwu to Li Kunlun.

"Was this your own idea, or did the sect leader send you?" Elder Yuanchen asked meaningfully.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, it was entirely my own idea." Zi Dong certainly wouldn't involve Zhou Yunting.

"Liu Zhenkun, go and inform Li Kunlun and Feng Qingwu that Zi Dong has voluntarily conceded defeat and is going to grant them their wish!" Elder Yuanchen instructed gleefully.

At this moment, in Feng Yuntian's mansion, Feng Yuntian and Feng Qingwu were angrily reprimanding Li Kunlun.

“Vice Sect Master, this is the sect’s rule. Everything can be resolved through challenges!” Li Kunlun argued forcefully.

"Li Kunlun, Qingwu doesn't like you at all. Even if you win against Zidong, Qingwu will not marry you!"

Feng Yuntian was furious. He had finally managed to resolve the matter, but Li Kunlun had come out to cause trouble again.

"Even if Junior Sister Qingwu is unwilling to marry me, I cannot let her marry Zidong!" Li Kunlun was determined.

"Li Kunlun, what business is it of yours who I marry?!" Feng Qingwu was even more furious, wishing she could kill him immediately.

Just as the three were arguing, a servant came in to report that Steward Liu Zhenkun had come to see Li Kunlun and Feng Qingwu.

Feng Yuntian had no choice but to invite Liu Zhenkun in, as it was undoubtedly for the sake of Zi Dong and Feng Qingwu's marriage.

"Vice Sect Master, on the orders of the Hall Master, I have come to inform you that Zi Dong has voluntarily conceded defeat, intending to grant Li Kunlun and Feng Qingwu their wish to be together."

Liu Zhenkun spoke frankly, repeating whatever Elder Yuanchen said, and then took his leave from Feng Yuntian.

"Qingwu, go find Grandpa yourself!" Feng Yuntian slumped back in his chair, utterly dejected. He truly dared not see Feng Song again.

Feng Qingwu was not afraid at all. When she arrived at Feng Song's mansion, she insisted that her grandfather help her and that she must marry Zi Dong!
"Qingwu, you go back first. Grandpa will definitely help you get this done!" Feng Song said with a kind and confident expression.

As dusk approached, Elder Yuanchen ordered the dismantling of the arena. The matter had been largely resolved, and there shouldn't be any more trouble.

But before the stewards could leave the hall, Elder Feng Song sent someone to inform Elder Yuan Chen that Li Kunlun would challenge Zi Dong the next day.

The first is the senior disciple of Yuntian Sect, the second is the leader of the Demon Hunting Team, and the third is Feng Qingwu. The Supreme Elders will all come to watch the battle.

Elder Yuanchen was dumbfounded for Zi Dong. This was forcing him to accept the challenge, because Zi Dong could not lose his senior brother, nor could he lose the leader of the Demon Hunting Team!

Feng Qingwu is just an accessory, and it's the kind of product where you buy two and get one free. The senior brother of Yuntian Sect and the leader of the Demon Hunting Team are already being sold together with Feng Qingwu!
