Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 190 Challenging Supreme Realm Experts

"Father, does that mean I, as the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan, have to listen to Jinlan?" Jinpeng asked hurriedly.

"Xin'er, Elder, why don't you join forces with me to kill Zi Dong?" Jin Hong shouted sternly.

The moment Zi Dong appeared, Jin Hong sent a telepathic message to Lan Xin'er and the Grand Elder, instructing them to join forces to kill Zi Dong.

"Even the three peak Supreme Realm experts of the Central Continent couldn't do anything to Zi Dong. Do you want us to die?" the Grand Elder roared.

“Jin Hong, Zi Dong is the chosen one. If you want to open the Immortal Gate, you can’t kill him,” Lan Xin’er said.

“Father, I have now joined forces with Zi Dong. The Demon Clan can use him to restrain the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan, and even the Central Continent.”

Jin Peng now relies heavily on Zi Dong; he needs Zi Dong's help to regain his position as clan leader.

"Hmph, idiot!" Jin Hong glared angrily at Jin Peng and immediately contacted Palace Master Ji Xuan.

"Father, the Demon Clan has also allied with the Daoist sect before!" Jinpeng shouted unwillingly.

"Jinlan, you must fully cooperate with Palace Master Jixuan!" Jin Hong angrily ordered, and then flew towards a patch of dark clouds surging at the peak.

"All you do is scold people!" Jin Peng complained angrily, looking at Jin Hong who had disappeared into the dark clouds.

“Your father is doing this for your own good. Joining forces with Zidong is like asking a tiger for its skin.”

Lan Xin'er glanced at Jin Peng disdainfully, then looked at the Grand Elder:
"Elder, let's summon the clan leaders and elders of all the tribes and announce Jinlan as the leader of the alliance."

"The clan chiefs and elders will be here shortly." The Grand Elder was very reluctant, but there was nothing he could do.

The Immortal Gate still doesn't know how to open, so if cultivators don't want to die, they can only ascend to the Central Continent.

Cultivators pursue the Dao, and only by having a long lifespan can they comprehend the Dao; otherwise, what's the point of cultivation?
Jin Peng offended the Palace Master of Ji Xuan because he was blinded by power, and the Grand Elder did not want to cut off his path of cultivation.

Jin Lan was able to become the clan leader entirely because of Jin Hong's prestige in the Demon Clan. Therefore, after Jin Hong ascended to immortality, Jin Peng easily took away the position of clan leader.

The clan leaders and elders of each tribe will not give Jinlan any face; they value their own interests.

"We oppose Jinlan becoming the leader of the alliance and support Jinpeng continuing to be the patriarch of the entire demon race!" The patriarchs and elders of all races said in unison.

Jin Peng and the Grand Elder remained silent. Although they dared not disobey the wishes of Palace Master Ji Xuan, they were also unwilling to help Jin Lan.

"How dare you disobey the decree of the Palace Master Jixuan of the Wuji Immortal Palace in the Central Continent?!" Jinlan shouted angrily.

"Hmph, the Wuji Immortal Palace can't interfere in the affairs of my Western Continent!" the Black Demon Clan Chief sneered, but dared not mention the name of Palace Master Jixuan.

"Since you don't want to ascend to the Central Continent, and you don't want to become immortals, then let Jinpeng continue to be the clan leader."

Lan Xin'er glanced at everyone with disdain, then beckoned Jin Lan to go down the mountain and leave.

"Whether we ascend to immortality or not is none of your business!" the Black Demon Clan Chief roared.

"Elder, please tell them, who decides between ascension and becoming an immortal?" Lan Xin'er asked disdainfully.

"The ascension of demon cultivators is naturally decided by the Boundless Immortal Palace. As for becoming immortals?"

The First Elder glanced helplessly at Lan Xin'er, then swept his gaze across the crowd:
"To become an immortal, one needs to open the Immortal Gate, which requires the combined efforts of the four races of the Heavenly Fortune Continent and the assistance of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty."

"Elder, what do you mean by this?!" the Black Demon Clan Chief roared. He was helping Jin Peng, but the Elder was speaking up for Lan Xin'er.

"The Grand Elder's meaning is very simple: if you want to ascend, you have to listen to Palace Master Jixuan; if you want to become an immortal, you have to listen to me," Lan Xin'er explained.

"Everyone, let Jinlan be the leader of the alliance!" The Grand Elder suggested, seeing that no one had a better idea.

"Lan'er, as the leader of the Demon Clan, you must have your own personal guards," Lan Xin'er said to Jin Lan when no one spoke.

"All races have handed over all the demons to the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty," Jinlan said, looking around.
"Send two Supreme Realm experts, each leading a hundred cultivators, to form an alliance army." Opening the Immortal Gate requires ten thousand demon warriors, so Zi Dong trained ten thousand demon warrior experts for the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty.

However, Lan Xin'er was worried about unexpected events and prepared to train more powerful demons as backup.

She also wanted to use the demons to strengthen the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty, as the Daoist sect could not become powerful on its own.

"If we hand over all the demons to the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty, how can my Golden Demon Clan still exist?"

The Golden Demon Clan Chief immediately objected: "Our Golden Demon Clan only has two Supreme Realm experts and a hundred cultivators. If they all form an alliance army, how will the Golden Demon Clan survive?"

The Golden Demon Clan has fewer than a thousand members, half of whom are demons. Jinlan's demand is practically annihilation of the clan.

Other smaller clans also voiced their opposition, while the larger clans remained silent.

“Small clans like the Golden Demon Clan can hand over half of their demons, and the number of cultivators can also be halved,” Lan Xin’er quickly said.

We must never provoke the wrath of the masses, otherwise, before Jinlan even becomes the leader of the alliance, he will be abandoned by everyone.

Just as Jin Peng was about to say something, the Grand Elder immediately gave him a wink, indicating that Jin Lan had officially taken over as the new leader of the alliance.

"Elder, this is such a great opportunity, why are you stopping me?"

After everyone left, Jin Peng angrily questioned him.

He wanted to incite the various tribes to oppose Jinlan becoming the leader of the alliance.

"Jin Peng, why does your father want Jin Lan to be the leader of the alliance?" The Grand Elder revealed a sinister smile.

"Why?" Jin Peng was taken aback by the question; he had indeed overlooked it.

"Palace Master Jixuan wanted to kill Zidong in the Western Continent. You were unwilling to let them possess the demon cultivators anymore, so Jin Hong let Jinlan take charge of the demon race."

The Grand Elder explained smugly, "Once Jinlan agrees to let Palace Master Jixuan and the others possess the demon cultivators, she will become the target of everyone's hatred!"

"Great!" Jin Peng clapped his hands in sudden realization and shouted excitedly.

"By then, we will completely eradicate the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty!"

"Jin Peng, we still need to maintain a good relationship with Zi Dong. He is our greatest asset in eliminating the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty," the Grand Elder said.

Zi Dong promised Lan Xin'er that he would rush to Mo Tian Peak to help Jin Lan, all to incite infighting among the demons.

No cultivator doesn't want to become an immortal; opening the gates to immortality is the best excuse, and the demon race will only become more chaotic.

Zi Dong traveled westward, and the chaos among the demons presented him with an excellent opportunity to cultivate.

However, no Supreme Realm expert intervened. The Void Breaking Realm experts couldn't help him cultivate, so having more people wouldn't help.

As they approached the desert, Zi Dong finally stopped; he could no longer continue westward.

"Then let's go take on the challenge!" After sitting on a small hill for a while, Zi Dong finally came up with a good idea.

Since the supreme realm experts of the demon race are not coming to him, he will go to their door and challenge them!
"Don't challenge those powerful clans." Donglai Ziqi immediately warned Zi Dong as soon as he had this thought.

"Why?" Zi Dong was taken aback. Great clans have many Supreme Realm experts!

"Every major clan has countless smaller clans as vassals. Isn't challenging a major clan just asking for trouble?" Donglai Ziqi retorted angrily.

"Oh!" Zi Dong nodded in realization and headed directly towards the territory of the Golden Demon Clan.
