Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 66 You're lying by doing this

Zi Dong was very relaxed. Anyway, he didn't have to do anything. He just needed to pick leaves from the Luck Tree and then watch as many leaves hung on the tree.

After this ordeal repeated ten times, the demon elder at the Void Breaking Realm finally began to bewildered; even immortals couldn't withstand such torment.

The Heavenly Demon Formation became increasingly chaotic, with the Heavenly Demons flying around like headless flies, no longer able to attack Zhou Yunting or protect the Void Breaking Realm demon elders.

"Break!" Zhou Yunting roared the moment the Void Breaking Realm demon elder was sent flying again.

Zi Dong felt the Qiantang River tide surging in, and the invisible force directly dispersed the Heavenly Demon, preventing the Void Breaking Realm demon elder from flying back again.

Zhou Yunting mobilized all his spatial power, making a desperate gamble to completely destroy the Heavenly Demon Formation!
The Void Breaking Realm demon elders not only had to control the Heavenly Demon Array, but also had to withstand the spiritual attacks from Zhou Yunting and many other Void Breaking Realm elders.

Moreover, he was completely bewildered by Zi Dong's antics; the giant purple mist hand was actually able to pull out the possessed demon directly!

The Void Breaking Realm demon elder could clearly sense that the purple mist fist could severely injure him, but it only sent him flying.

He didn't have time to mobilize spatial power to resist, and without the Heavenly Demon's possession, he couldn't stop it either.

Zhou Yunting was at the Great Perfection of the Void Breaking Realm. Although he was only one small realm higher than him, the difference was like heaven and earth.

The demon elders at the Breaking Void Realm had no choice but to abandon control of the Heavenly Demon Array, allowing the Heavenly Demons to escape back to the Heavenly Demon Space; otherwise, they would all be reduced to ashes under the impact of Zhou Yunting's spatial power.

The demons all fled, and the demon cultivators in Luoshui Village were immediately forced back to their original forms, with most of them being killed by the ten elders and the demon-hunting team.

Without the support of the Heavenly Demon Formation, the ten female demons and the countless Gu worms were immediately slaughtered by the Grand Elder and scattered in all directions.

The ten witch cultivators were the fastest to run, abandoning the Gu worms and quickly evacuating under the cover of the village houses.

While resisting Zhou Yunting's attacks on divine sense and spatial power, the Demon Clan elder at the Void Breaking Realm summoned the cultivators of the three races to retreat.

Zi Dong also recovered from the impact of Zhou Yunting's spatial power and rushed straight towards the Void Breaking Realm demon elder who was heading towards the village.

The Void Breaking Realm demon elder dared not let Zi Dong cause any more trouble, so he flew into the sky and fled far away, ignoring the cultivators of the three races.

Zi Dong cursed inwardly in anger. He had originally wanted to try and see if he could capture the Void Breaking Realm demon elder.

The highest cultivation level in Luoshui Village was the Heavenly Profound Realm. Apart from the ten Wu Clan cultivators who escaped, none of the others survived; they were all killed.

The Demon Hunter team suffered several casualties, which infuriated Feng Qingwu, who kept cursing and glaring at the elder for not providing timely support.

Instead of pursuing the Void Breaking Realm demon elder, Zhou Yunting ordered the Demon Hunter Team to immediately clean up the battlefield.

"Why did you go up there?!" Zhou Xinyu asked Zi Dong in a low voice, worried that Zhou Yunting would scold her.

"It was the sect leader who sent me to help him." Zi Dong's expression was also very grim. He was the leader of the Demon Hunter Squad, and yet several of them had been killed or injured.

"You defeated that Void Breaking Realm elder of the Demon Clan?!" Zhou Xinyu was greatly surprised that Zhou Yunting had actually asked Zi Dong for help.

"I only messed with him a few times, and in the end, it was the sect leader who defeated him." Zi Dong was very modest, saying that with his strength, he could only mess with him a few times.

"Fortunately, two sect elders were stationed on the two small hills, otherwise who knows how many would have died or been injured!"

Although Zhou Xinyu was used to life and death and didn't care much about the few dead or injured members of the group, she was, after all, the deputy leader and still had responsibilities.

"What's the use of those two sect elders being there?!" Zi Dong was puzzled and quickly asked.

"Of course, it's to cooperate with the sect leader to suppress the Heavenly Demon Formation with divine sense, which is just the right amount of a divine sense net." As a Void Breaking Realm cultivator, Zhou Xinyu still understands these basic principles of formations. The two sect elders are the two support points of the divine sense net.

Zhou Yunting did not send everyone back to the sect, but instead dispatched ten elders to lead the Demon Hunting Team to conduct a thorough search near Luoshui Village.

He worried that the cultivators of the demon, witch, and sorcerer races would hide and harm the villagers who had fallen into the water after they left.

"Elder, the Witch Clan has also come to the Azure Dragon Mountains. The sect needs to increase patrols."

Zhou Yunting's expression was very solemn. If they were careful, the Yuntian Sect cultivators could still guard against demons.

However, the witch clan is difficult to defend against; they will hide in the shadows and command the Gu worms to launch surprise attacks.

If a cultivator infected with the Gu worm is unable to return to their sect in time, they will be controlled by the Wu Clan cultivators.

"Sect Master, even if we strengthen patrols, I'm afraid we still won't be able to stop the Witch Clan!" the Grand Elder said with a headache.

The Wu Clan cultivators are skilled at concealment, and they cannot be found without a thorough search. Even with increased patrols, it is impossible to be too careful.

"Then let the elders and deacons take turns patrolling. We must find all the witch clan cultivators who have infiltrated the Azure Dragon Mountains!"

Zhou Yunting directly ordered the patrol team to be strengthened, so that the Wu Clan cultivators would have nowhere to hide in the Azure Dragon Mountains.

After much effort until nightfall, and confirming that there were no cultivators from the demon, monster, or witch races within hundreds of miles of Luoshui Village, Zhou Yunting finally ordered a retreat back to the sect.

Grand Elder Feng Song immediately notified all affiliated sects to send elders and deacons to strengthen patrols, and the elders and deacons of the main peak were also dispersed.

Zi Dong, Zhou Xinyu, and Feng Qingwu buried the three fallen members of the Demon Hunter Squad in the back mountain and held a memorial service before returning to their headquarters by Dragon Saliva Lake.

Zhou Xinyu and Feng Qingwu were also in low spirits. They didn't say a word and went straight back to their rooms to rest, which left Zi Dong feeling a bit helpless.

I had originally planned to summarize this operation to prevent further losses to the Demon Hunter team, but it seems I'll have to do that later.

Zi Dong sat in his room for a while, then remembered the Donglai Chamber of Commerce he had discussed with Ai Shang, which needed to be established as soon as possible.

If the Donglai Chamber of Commerce can recruit a large number of powerful rogue cultivators, they can assist the Demon Hunter Team in its operations and minimize casualties.

This operation not only brought him a lot of luck, but the Demon Hunter Team also gained a lot, although they are still far from being able to recruit powerful rogue cultivators.

Moreover, the Donglai Chamber of Commerce needs to be operational as soon as possible; without resources, it cannot support those independent cultivators. The Demon Hunter Group also needs resources.

"Zi Dong, I need to talk to you!" Zi Dong was pondering the matter of the Donglai Chamber of Commerce when Feng Qingwu's urgent voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." Zi Dong didn't get up. His door wasn't locked, and there were only the three of them in the wooden building, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Zi Dong, the Demon Hunter Team needs strong members, otherwise we will suffer losses in every operation!" Feng Qingwu shouted as she entered the room.

"Junior Sister Qingwu, do you have any good ideas?" Zi Dong was taken aback, as his idea coincided with Zi Dong's.

“Recruiting those rogue cultivators in the name of Yuntian Sect, quite a few want to join the sect!” Feng Qingwu also set her sights on the rogue cultivators.

"You're lying!" Before Zi Dong could even speak, Zhou Xinyu walked in and scolded him.

"Zhou Xinyu, how did I lie?!" Feng Qingwu was furious. The solution she had finally come up with was immediately met with accusations.
