"Blood Marten Patriarch, please tell me." Jian Wushuang tapped his fingers on the armchair casually.
"Mister Heavenly Marquis, to be honest, the reason why my Blood Marquis Clan arranged a marriage between my daughter and Crimson Tiger is so that the Blood Marquis Clan and the Crimson Gold Clan can become closer through marriage. This way, we will have more confidence when facing the Blood Race," Erxiu said.
"Blood Race?" Jian Wushuang's expression changed. "What does your marriage with the Crimson Gold Clan have to do with the Blood Race?"
"Mr. Marquis, you may not know this, but although the Blood Marten Clan has always been one of the top clans in the Monster Realm, the truth is that the Blood Marten Clan was only glorious for a period of time when the Patriarch was still around. After the Patriarch left for the Universe Battlefield, the Blood Marten Clan gradually declined. Although we are still one of the top clans now, we are at the bottom of the list!
"Many other clans even secretly say that the Blood Marten Clan doesn't live up to its name and that we no longer have the strength of a top clan. In addition, Mr. Marquis, you may know that the competition between the clans in the Monster Realm has always been very cruel. The Blood Marten Clan has been fighting with many other clans all year round!
"Now that the Blood Marten Clan is in decline, our overall strength has widened the gap with many other top clans. Naturally … there are many clans that want to replace the Blood Marten Clan. There are even some that want to annex the Blood Marten Clan."
"You said that the clan that wants to annex the Blood Marten Clan is the Blood Race?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"Yes." E Xiu nodded heavily. "There are many top clans in the Demon Territory. Even if some of them have designs on my Blood Marten Clan, they would at most occupy our territory and resources. They would never think of annexing or exterminating the Blood Marten Clan. After all, my Blood Marten Clan was once glorious, and a dead camel is still bigger than a horse. In addition to the Sect Protecting Formation that the Ancestor set up back then, those top clans in the Demon Territory would not dare to truly go against my Blood Marten Clan. However, the Blood Clan is different!"
"Blood Clan, you are one of the Four Great Divine Clans. My Blood Marten Clan can't compare to your background and strength. Even when my Blood Marten Clan was at its peak, we were still inferior to the Blood Clan with that Ancestor around, let alone now!"
"There is no doubt that the Blood Race has the ability to devour and destroy my Blood Marten Clan. Moreover, from the actions of the Blood Race over the years, the Blood Race does indeed intend to do so. However, they have not done so because they are wary of another God Race in the nearby territory, the Nine-tailed Clan."
Jian Wushuang's eyes narrowed slightly.
The Crimson Gold Clan and the Blood Marten Clan were not the only few powerful clans around Floating Fire City. There was also the even more terrifying Nine-tailed Clan.
As for the Blood Race, there was still a certain distance between them and this territory. If the Blood Race attacked the Blood Marten Clan, it would be equivalent to encroaching on the nearby territory of the Nine-tailed Clan. The Nine-tailed Clan would naturally not sit idly by.
"Since the Nine-tailed Clan is keeping the Blood Marten Clan in check, what is there for your Blood Marten Clan to worry about?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"We weren't worried before, but the Nine-tailed Clan has encountered some internal problems in recent years," E Xiu said.
"Oh, what kind of problems?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"It's a clan that has risen to prominence not long ago. To be precise, it's a newly risen faction," E Xiu said.
"Faction?" Jian Wushuang's expression changed.
"Yes, this faction is called the Divine Moon Palace. It was founded a few hundred years ago. At the beginning, this faction was very low-key and did not attract much attention. Unexpectedly, in just a few hundred years, the Divine Moon Palace has developed to a point where even the Nine-tailed Clan does not dare to underestimate them. Especially thirty years ago, the Divine Moon Palace even directly annexed the Howling Demon Clan, making the entire Howling Demon Clan submit to them," E Xiu said.
"The Howling Demon Clan?" Jian Wushuang's pupils shrank.
Among the many clans in the Demon Territory, besides the Four Divine Clans, he also knew of a few powerful top clans. The Howling Demon Clan was undoubtedly an extremely powerful top clan. Although there were no experts of the Sixth Void Realm in the clan, it was said that there were two experts of the Fifth Void Realm and many powerful Masters of the Law.
In terms of overall strength, the Howling Demon Clan was much stronger than the Blood Marten Clan. They were even stronger than the Crimson Gold Clan.
And such a top clan had actually been directly annexed by the Divine Moon Palace, which had been founded only a few hundred years ago?
The Divine Moon Palace had some amazing means!!
"What's next?" Jian Wushuang asked.
"After the Divine Moon Palace annexed the Howling Demon Clan, its overall strength skyrocketed. It has become a force above all the top clans and is qualified to threaten the status of the Four Divine Clans. As the only Divine Clan in this territory, the Nine-tailed Clan naturally sensed the threat, so they wanted to suppress the Divine Moon Palace. But they did not expect the Divine Moon Palace to directly fight with the Nine-tailed Clan!" E Xiu exclaimed.
"The Divine Moon Palace did not fight indirectly, but fought head-on. It could even be said that they declared war. The Nine-tailed Clan naturally did not want to be outdone, so the Nine-tailed Clan and the Divine Moon Palace have been fighting very fiercely these years. Although the Nine-tailed Clan has a slight upper hand, it does not have an absolute advantage. On the contrary, the Divine Moon Palace has been roping in experts from all over these years. Its strength is growing day by day, and the threat to the Nine-tailed Clan is becoming more and more serious!"
"At this time, the Nine-tailed Clan naturally put all their energy into the Divine Moon Palace, so they naturally have no time to pay attention to the fights of the other clans around them. So, they gave the Blood Marten Clan an opportunity. Not long ago, experts of the Blood Marten Clan arrived one after another and even met with my Blood Marten Clan."
"So you want to use marriage to rope in the Crimson Gold Clan and fight against the Blood Marten Clan together?" Jian Wushuang looked at E Xiu.
"Yes. It's not just my Blood Marten Clan that has sensed the intentions of the Blood Marten Clan. The Crimson Gold Clan has also sensed it. Our marriage this time can be said to have reached a tacit understanding, and once the marriage is complete, it'll be suitable for our two peak clans to fight against the enemy together. With my Blood Marten Clan and the Crimson Gold Clan, as long as the Blood Marten Clan doesn't turn out in full strength, we'll have no problem protecting ourselves," E Xiu said.
"After Heavenly Marquis proposed, I also considered giving up on the marriage alliance with the Crimson Gold Clan and choosing you instead. However, Heavenly Marquis, you are a human cultivator and do not spend most of your time in the Demonic Realm. If anything happens to my Blood Marten Clan, Heavenly Marquis, you won't be able to rush over in time."
"Secondly, Heavenly Marquis, while your talent is extraordinarily great and your potential is unparalleled, your current strength …"
Before E Xiu could finish his words, Jian Wushuang had already understood what he meant.
