Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 68 Target: Langya City

When Feng Qingwu arrived at the residence of the Feng family patriarch, she received shocking news: Feng Yuntian and Yu Feiyan had established the Flying Alliance in Langya City.

Langya City is situated right between the two major powers, Yuntian Sect and Qinglian Sword Sect. It is the only place on the Eastern Continent that is not under the jurisdiction of any power, hence it is also called the Free City.

It is said that the city lord is a rogue immortal who failed to transcend tribulation, which is even more precious than the immortal cultivators who ascend to the Central Continent.

Because those who fail to transcend the tribulation are basically all annihilated, there are no survivors. Becoming a wandering immortal is even more precious than a giant panda.

Moreover, his strength is no less than that of a first-grade immortal cultivator, making him the strongest person in the Eastern Continent, and no force would dare to provoke him.

"How could that rogue immortal from Langya City agree?!" Feng Qingwu was a little confused. Feng Yuntian was openly betraying the Yuntian Sect!

"Hmph, your father will definitely agree to help that rogue immortal go to the Central Continent!" Elder Feng Song snorted angrily.

"What can my father do?!" Feng Qingwu was taken aback. Was it so easy to go to the Central Continent?
"Your father can't do anything, but his wife can!" The First Elder was even more furious. He shouldn't have let Feng Yuntian marry Yu Feiyan in the first place; it was all because of this woman!
"Hmph!" Feng Qingwu was even more annoyed with Yu Feiyan. This matter was not only Feng Yuntian's fault, but also her grandfather's. He should not have agreed in the first place.

"Qingwu, your grandfather and I are both unable to go to Langya City. The sect already knows about this, so you'll have to find a way to go there yourself."

The patriarch of the Feng family looked helpless. There was no use blaming Yu Feiyan now; he had to find Feng Yuntian first.

"Ancestor, Zi Dong wants to form a caravan to go to the Fire Cloud Mountains." Feng Qingwu quickly told Zi Dong and Zhou Xinyu what they had discussed.

"Then you should find a way to get Zi Dong to the Great Snow Mountain, and you can conveniently go to Langya City on the way!"

The Grand Elder's eyes lit up immediately. He and the Ancestor were trying to find an excuse to go to Langya City, but they didn't expect that Zi Dong would actually form a caravan.

"I'll give it a try." Feng Qingwu had no choice; if she didn't find Feng Yuntian quickly, the Feng family would be implicated.

Zi Dong stood at the foot of the steps of the Ziyun Hall waiting for Zhou Xinyu. Just as he felt that time had stopped, he suddenly received a message from Feng Qingwu.

He had no choice but to go to Feng Qingwu's cave first. He would contact Zhou Xinyu when she returned, as Feng Qingwu had something urgent to discuss with him.

"Zi Dong, let's quickly assemble a caravan. This time, let's head to the Great Snow Mountain first." Feng Qingwu changed her mind immediately.

"Why?" Zi Dong remained expressionless, but Feng Qingwu definitely knew what had happened, as her thoughts coincided with Zhou Yunting's.

"Because I must go to Langya City as soon as possible." Feng Qingwu could only tell the truth, after all, the sect already knew about this matter:
"My father established the Flying Alliance in Langya City. I must find him as soon as possible, otherwise he will become a traitor to the sect!"

"Alright, I'll go assemble the caravan now." Zi Dong didn't ask any further questions. This was the sect leader's assignment, and he also wanted to do Feng Qingwu a favor.

"Where are you going to form this group?" Feng Qingwu quickly stopped Zi Dong, who was about to leave. "Can't you just gather the Demon Hunter Team?"

“I have already recruited several powerful rogue cultivators and am preparing to bring them to the headquarters at Dragon Saliva Lake. You can select some people from the Demon Hunter Group to go there.”

Zi Dong didn't mention Zhou Yunting's plan to send elders and deacons. He suggested that Zhou Xinyu tell Feng Qingwu instead. He guessed that Zhou Yunting wanted to take action against Feng Yuntian, so he couldn't get too involved.

Feng Qingwu did not stop Zi Dong any further. If the caravan could recruit powerful rogue cultivators, it would be safer.

The three of them worked for most of the day and didn't meet at the headquarters of Longxian Lake until evening. Zi Dong was the last to arrive.

Because Ai Shang wanted to gather those rogue cultivators, who were all used to being idle; otherwise, they wouldn't be called rogue cultivators.

Furthermore, Zi Dong would need to make some selections, since Zhou Yunting would be sending elders and deacons to accompany him, so there was no need to bring too many independent cultivators. Ai Shang was very shrewd; recruiting these independent cultivators was like hiring temporary workers. He would give them some spirit stones to get rid of them normally, and only give them generous rewards when they took action.

Feng Qingwu selected five hundred members of the Demon Hunter Team, all of whom were disciples capable of flying on swords and were elites from various squads.

“My two junior sisters, Ai Shang is in charge of helping me establish the Donglai Chamber of Commerce, and he will be the captain of this caravan.” Zi Dong introduced Ai Shang to Feng Qingwu and Zhou Xinyu.

"Hello, senior sisters!" Ai Shang quickly bowed and greeted them. He was the best at handling this kind of thing and would always make sure everyone was satisfied.

"Zi Dong, when are you leaving?" Zhou Xinyu nodded to Ai Shang, her expression somewhat solemn, because Zhou Yunting had given her some important instructions.

"How about tomorrow morning?" Zi Dong felt the sooner the better. Not only was Zhou Yunting anxious, but Feng Qingwu was even more anxious.

"Let's set off immediately." Feng Qingwu was even more anxious than Zi Dong had imagined, and actually wanted to set off overnight.

"Where are the sect's elders and deacons?" Zi Dong had no choice but to agree when Zhou Xinyu nodded in agreement, but he didn't see any of the people sent by Zhou Yunting.

"The sect's elders and deacons will protect you in secret and won't travel with you." Zhou Xinyu didn't hide anything, because Feng Qingwu would find out once they arrived in Langya City.

"Aishang, prepare to depart," Zi Dong immediately ordered. Because of the rush, they hadn't brought many resources from the Azure Dragon Mountains.

“Zi Dong, you should split up,” Zhou Xinyu stopped her. “You and Junior Sister Qingwu take a few independent cultivators and go first, while Ai Shang leads the group members to follow.”

“Yes, let’s go first and get there as soon as possible!” Feng Qingwu rarely agreed with Zhou Xinyu; she couldn’t wait to fly to Langya City.

"Zuo Fei, Song Ke, you two coordinate well with Ai Shang and stay in touch at all times," Zi Dong had no choice but to give the three of them another instruction.

The First Elder, Feng Song, also assigned ten people to Feng Qingwu, all of whom were powerful members of the Feng family, to gather together and discuss matters.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhou Xinyu called Zi Dong aside and pretended to chat while secretly communicating with him using her divine sense.

"The Feng family probably wants Feng Yuntian to return to the sect as soon as possible to quell the impact of this incident on the Feng family. The sect leader doesn't want him to come back so that he can use this opportunity to suppress the Feng family. You should act according to the situation, and the elders will fully cooperate with you."

Zhou Xinyu relayed Zhou Yunting's message to Zi Dong, instructing him to secretly obstruct Feng Qingwu and, ideally, to make Feng Yuntian completely betray the Yuntian Sect.

“I don’t think I need to get involved in this. Feng Yuntian definitely won’t come back, and Feng Qingwu will definitely turn against him.”

Zi Dong, however, felt that Feng Qingwu was incapable of bringing Feng Yuntian back, otherwise Feng Yuntian would not have left Yuntian Sect.

“Feng Yuntian dared to betray the sect, but he didn’t dare to betray the Feng family. The Feng family patriarch and the Grand Elder had calculated this point, which is why they sent Feng Qingwu to Langya City, because Feng Qingwu is the future head of the Feng family.”

Zhou Xinyu had no choice but to tell Zi Dong Zhou Yunting's analysis: Feng Yuntian was very afraid of his daughter because Feng Qingwu could kick him out of the Feng family at any time.

In the Eastern Continent, being expelled from a sect is not the worst thing, but being expelled from a family is quite miserable.

Especially for a large family like the Feng family, once Feng Yuntian is expelled, no force will dare to take him in.

Because Taoism emphasizes loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness, disloyalty is forgivable, but disrespect for filial piety deserves death!
