On the morning of the second day, a group of people arrived at the Ula Tribe. The long procession meandered along the mountain road. Accompanying them were dozens of large carriages that were loaded with goods.
Early in the morning, the valley of the Ula Tribe became lively. Patriarch Zaman Han and a group of elders stood at the entrance of the valley to welcome the arrival of the group.
The leader of the group was riding a huge ancient beast. That ancient beast was fifteen meters tall and looked majestic. As it galloped along the mountain path, the rugged mountain path shook continuously.
It was a blue-clothed young man with a pale complexion, sunken eyes, and a trace of illness between his brows. Next to the blue-clothed young man stood a black-clothed old man. The old man had a cold expression and an arrogant expression, as if he considered everyone beneath him.
The blue-clothed youth was the young master of the Kui Gui Tribe, Kui Li, the fourth son of the Kui Gui Tribe's patriarch. As for the black-robed elder beside him, he was a high-level cultivator of the Kui Gui Tribe. He was an immortal cultivator at the later stage of the Tide Changing Realm. He had accompanied the young master, Kui Li, to the Ula Tribe to propose marriage.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the valley.
At the entrance of the valley, the chief Zaman Han and the elders had been waiting here for two hours. Some of the Wu La tribe's people with some status also gathered at the entrance of the valley in groups of twos and threes. Many people were very excited and curious. The marriage of the chief's daughter was a big event for the Ula Tribe.
Moreover, the one who came to propose was the young master of the Kui Gui Tribe. That was a large tribe that could be ranked in the top 20 of the entire 72 Tribes Alliance. It was not something that the Ula Tribe could compare with. To put it bluntly, the patriarch of a tribe like the Ula Tribe could only be an insignificant person in the Kui Gui Tribe.
Some young ladies had longing eyes and jealousy in their hearts. If they could marry such a distinguished young master like Mister Kui Li, how good would that be? Unfortunately, their identities were not even comparable to Zha Guli, so how would Mister Kui Li fancy them?
As for the young man from the Ula Tribe, his complexion was somewhat gloomy. Zaguli was a goddess-like figure in the Ula Tribe. Was their goddess finally going to get married?
The thoughts of the elders were not as simple as those of the younger generation. Everything they did was for the benefit of the tribe. In the past, it was almost impossible for them to have a marriage alliance with the Kui Ghost Tribe. Although it was only the fourth young master of the Kui Gui Tribe who came to propose marriage. However, it was still far beyond the reach of the Ula Tribe. Zaguli was the most talented child the Ula Tribe had seen in a thousand years. The probability of her breaking through to the Tide Changing Realm was rather high. Moreover, she was also very beautiful, which was why Young Master Kui Li had taken a fancy to her.
The elders of the Ula Tribe were quite excited. They attached great importance to this marriage. For the past thousand years. The Ula Tribe continued to decline. Now, they were at the bottom of the 72 Tribes Alliance. Over the years, they had not even produced a single Tide Changing Realm cultivator.
If they could not change this situation, the Ula Tribe would be kicked out of the 72 Tribes Alliance sooner or later. When that time came, their fate would be incomparably miserable. If they were not eaten by dire beasts, they would become the vassals of other tribes, living like slaves.
Zaman Han's face was taut and solemn. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his expression.
At this moment, the people from the Kui Gui Tribe had already approached them. They had no intention of dismounting from their horses. Instead, they haughtily glanced at the people from the Ula Tribe. Their faces were expressionless, and they did not look like people who had come to propose marriage at all.
"Zaman Han greets Young Master Kui Li and Senior Kui Bugui."
Zaman Han took a few steps forward, bowed deeply, and spoke with a respectful expression. The people of the Ula Tribe all around them. They bowed as well.
Speaking of which, Zaman Han was Zaguli's father and Kui Li's future father-in-law. It was obvious that she did not take him seriously.
Kui Li glanced at Zaman Han indifferently and nodded her head expressionlessly, "Yes, you must be the chief of the Ula Tribe. Let's talk inside."
Having said that, he had no intention of getting off the ancient beast. Instead, he rode the ancient beast into the valley.
From the beginning to the end, Kui Bugui did not even look at the people of the Ula Tribe. It was as if this group of people could not enter his eyes at all. He expressionlessly walked past them.
The group at the back had pulled a total of thirty-four carriages of betrothal gifts. However, the servants of the Kui Gui Tribe who were pulling the betrothal gifts all had arrogant expressions on their faces. They looked down on the people of the Ula Tribe.
Zha Man Han didn't have any expression on his face. He silently watched the group of people walk past him. The ancient beasts ran on the ground, stirring up the dust on his body. From beginning to end, he stood at the same spot without moving. Dignity? In this world, dignity could only be obtained with one's own strength. Without strength, one would not have dignity.
The group of elders of the Ula Tribe were also expressionless. It was as if they were used to this. However, their expressions were occasionally a little complicated.
On the contrary, many young people of the Ula Tribe looked angry. These people of the Kui Gui Tribe were too arrogant. How could they come to propose marriage? How could they come to propose marriage like this!
"Daughter, I'm sorry. For the tribe, I have no choice."
Zaman Han looked at the backs of the group of people. His eyes flashed with a trace of heartache and loneliness. As the chief of the Ula Tribe, sometimes he had no choice.
"Hmph, Zaman Han. Everything is important. Don't ruin the tribe's good fortune."
A cold snort suddenly sounded from behind Zaman Han. It was a green-robed old man. His half-white hair was tied into dozens of braids of different sizes. He had a hooked nose and his eyes were rather cold. From the beginning to the end, he was observing Zaman Han's reaction.
Zaman Han glanced at the green-robed old man and silently walked into the valley.
This old man was the Great Clan Elder of the Ula Tribe. His status and seniority were the highest. Many times, Zaman Han's words were not as effective as his.
The Great Clan Elder was the most proactive in this marriage alliance. He did his best to facilitate it. To be able to have a marriage alliance with the Kui Gui Tribe was indeed very beneficial to the Ula Tribe.
At least with the protection of the Kui Gui Tribe, the Ula Tribe would no longer have to worry about being kicked out of the 72 Tribes Alliance.
Moreover, the Great Clan Elder had been at the level of great attainment of the Primordial Soul Realm for more than three hundred years. He had always wanted to break through to the Tide Changing Realm. He fantasized that this marriage alliance could receive the support of the Kui Gui Tribe and help him break through to the Tide Changing Realm.
"Great Clan Elder, although Zaman Han does not want his daughter to marry Young Master Kui Li, it is already too late for him to regret."
"Yes, don't worry. Would Zaman Han dare to go back on his word?"
"Chief Zaman Han has a broad heart. He is wholeheartedly for the tribe. He is definitely willing to give up small love to achieve great love."
…
The group of clan elders behind him spoke one after another. The marriage proposal team from the Kui Gui Tribe had arrived at the valley. This matter was already a foregone conclusion. Zaman Han did not wish for his daughter to marry Kui Li. However, this was a major matter that concerned the Ula Tribe. The clan elders could not control him.
In the guest hall, the host and guests took their seats. However, the way they sat in the hall was a little strange.
Kui Li, the junior who came to propose, sat calmly on the main seat in the main hall. Kui Bugui sat beside him. The two of them occupied the main seats. As the host, the people of the Ula Tribe could only stand below the hall. They did not even have a seat.
Kui Li sat on the main seat and slowly drank a few mouthfuls of tea. He closed his eyes and rested for a while before saying lazily, "Zaman Han, where is your daughter? Ask her to come out and let me take a look at her."
His words were frivolous. He even called Zaman Han by his name. His attitude was as if he was talking to his own servant.
"Young Master Kui Li, Gu Li is in her room. However, it is not time for her to get married. I am afraid it is inappropriate for her to come out now," Zaman Han bowed and said plainly.
"Inappropriate? What is inappropriate? Hmph, I want to see what can be inappropriate. Zaman Han, you are not sincere. Who knows how many tribes want to have a marriage alliance with the Kui Gui Tribe but do not have the chance. Your Ula Tribe is lucky, yet you still dare to talk nonsense. "
Young Master Kui Li's expression turned cold. His eyes were filled with displeasure. In his heart, he was the heavens in the Ula Tribe. Everyone had to obey him. This Zaman Han actually dared to reject his interest. He was really audacious.
Hmph!
A cold snort resounded in the hall. Kui Bugui, who sat by Kui Li's side, suddenly emanated a terrifying pressure. The pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall, and then it surged towards Zha Man Han.
A muffled groan sounded. Zaman Han suddenly took three to four steps back. The limestone under his feet cracked inch by inch. A stream of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
The pressure and aura of a later stage Tide Changing Realm cultivator was something that he, a later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivator, could withstand.
With a wave of the other party's hand, he was afraid that his soul would scatter.
The expressions of the Ula Tribe's elders changed drastically. Everything was fine just now. Why did the atmosphere suddenly become tense?
"Young Master Kui Li, please do not be angry. Zaman Han is insensible. I will immediately invite Gu Li out."
The Great Clan Elder glared fiercely at Zaman Han. Then, he bowed and looked at Young Master Kui Li with a fawning expression. The Kui Gui Tribe was not only the hope to protect the Ula Tribe, but it was also the hope for him to break through to the Tide Changing Realm. This matter must not go wrong.
"Xiao He, go invite Miss Gu Li out." The Great Clan Elder looked at a servant girl and said sternly.
The servant girl called Xiao He was flustered. She had never seen such a scene before. She looked helplessly at Zaman Han.
"Why? Is my words no longer effective in the tribe? "The Great Clan Elder's expression turned cold. A stern chill shot out from his eyes.
"Xiao He, go and bring the Miss here." Zaman Han sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes. It was fine if he was humiliated, but he had implicated his daughter. His heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.
"Yes!"
Xiao He responded in a low voice. She walked out with a face full of grievance and humiliation.
"A wise man submits to circumstances. Since the Ula Tribe is seeking the protection of the Kui Gui Tribe, then you must listen to us obediently. I do not like disobedient servants," Young Master Kui Li said coldly.
His emotionless gaze did not seem to be looking at people, but at a group of pigs and dogs.
Everyone in the Ula tribe had a stiff expression. Even those tribal elders who were trying to curry favor with them were no exception. Young Master Kui Li actually used the words' servants' on the day of the marriage proposal. How could he not treat them as humans?
