Many people were dumbfounded. They didn't know why Hua Menghan had to participate in the martial arts competition to find a husband. Could it be that the Ancient Phoenix Realm couldn't find anyone else?
Especially since Hua Menghan already had a nominal husband. Hua Menghan had escaped the marriage. However, everyone knew that she and Ye Xiwen were a couple. Even Ye Xiwen's name, which had been forgotten by many people, had gradually started to be recalled by more and more people.
"Isn't this a slap in the face? They don't care about Ye Xiwen at all. Can Ye Xiwen endure this?" Someone couldn't help but ridicule. These people were legendary figures for them. They had nothing to do with them in any case. They just wanted to watch a good show.
The major forces saw the possibility of the union between the Ancient Phoenix Realm and the Dragon Island. One must know that these two forces were the overlords of the world in the distant past.
Everyone had a terrifying background. No one knew how much strength they had yet to reveal. Now that they had joined forces, many people were worried even though the Ancient Phoenix Realm had suffered heavy losses.
The Ancient Phoenix Realm had suffered heavy losses. So, it was impossible for them to be on equal footing with the Dragon Island in the alliance. Basically, they had to follow the Dragon Island's lead.
Wouldn't the Dragon Island's strength increase greatly after obtaining such a strong ally? This was the problem that everyone was worried about. They would be above the other forces when the time came.
Ordinary people only focused a small part of their attention on this matter. They were more concerned about whether Ye Xiwen would come. Would he come to demand an explanation for them?
A fierce conflict would certainly break out between the Ancient Phoenix Realm and the Dragon Island if he came. Perhaps, they wouldn't have the face to see anyone in the future if he didn't come.
"Will the Ancient Phoenix Realm choose to get engaged with the Dragon Island? That's not necessarily the case. I'm afraid there are many people who are qualified to form an alliance with the Ancient Phoenix Realm! "
"It's not necessarily an engagement. However, more and more people will be interested in this matter as long as this news is released. Those forces who originally weren't interested in forming an alliance with the Ancient Phoenix Realm won't let go of this opportunity in order to prevent the Dragon Island from forming an alliance with the Ancient Phoenix Realm!"
Many people had guessed the thoughts of those major forces. It would be very difficult to form an alliance under normal circumstances. After all, how could the Ancient Phoenix Realm be willing to be under someone else if their strength hadn't been damaged?
But now, things were different. Whoever could form an alliance with the Ancient Phoenix Realm would gain another helping hand. Therefore, even the Titled King Sects, who weren't originally interested, wouldn't easily let go of this opportunity.
Similarly, the Ancient Phoenix Realm would have more options after the news had been released. They wouldn't necessarily have to hang themselves on the Dragon Island.
It was definitely a good idea to kill several birds with one stone.
"I'm afraid that things will get more and more intense when that time comes. However, we'll have to see how determined the Dragon Island is to form an alliance this time. If they are willing to give up some benefits, it won't be difficult to rope in the current Ancient Phoenix Realm!"
"Yes, it is said that the Dragon Island has always wanted to create the strongest bloodline of the Dragon and the Phoenix. They want to dominate the world. Now, Hua Menghan is the only person who has the Heavenly Phoenix Body in the Ancient Phoenix World. So, the Dragon Island is determined to get her. However, it depends on how many benefits they are willing to give up!"
Everyone was discussing the benefits of the union between the two of them. As for Hua Menghan's opinion, it had already been forgotten by everyone. Hua Menghan's status in the Ancient Phoenix World had plummeted without the support of the Phoenix King. She had already lost her right to speak.
"Who has the Dragon Island come to propose marriage for?" someone asked out of curiosity.
"It seems to be Ao Chaozong. He's the youngest elder of the Dragon Island. It is said that his cultivation had already reached an incredible level a long time ago. The one who has come to propose marriage is his father — Ao Dongxing!"
"Hiss, it's that guy. He's known as the peerless genius of the Dragon Race that appears once every ten thousand years. He should've confirmed his cultivation a few thousand years ago if I'm not mistaken. It is said that his cultivation is comparable to those old monsters. It's hard to imagine!"
"If that's the case, then they're truly a talented man and a beautiful woman. The strongest genius of the Dragon Race and the Celestial Phoenix Lady of the Phoenix Race both have noble bloodlines and formidable strength. It is said that the Celestial Phoenix Lady has also confirmed her cultivation. So, she's definitely a good match for Ao Chaozong."
Someone sighed with emotion and said. One must know that Hua Menghan had confirmed her cultivation at such a young age. There weren't many people in the Ancient Phoenix World. She was a peerless heaven's pride expert. However, she had received an evaluation that she was only a good match for Ao Chaozong. One could well imagine how terrifying and powerful Ao Chaozong was in everyone's hearts.
"So, will Ye Xiwen come or not? If his opponent is Ao Chaozong, I'm afraid that it'll be difficult for him to defeat Ao Chaozong in the martial arts competition in the future even if he doesn't succeed now. Sigh, I'm afraid that we're not fated to be together! "
At this time, Ye Xiwen was sitting on the ground in a cave outside the city. His body was burning with boundless flames. It seemed to be burning away the impurities in his body. He was undergoing a shocking transformation.
He had already set up a formation. He knew that the odds of success were not high if he went to the Heavenly Phoenix Lake at this time. Even if the Ancient Phoenix World had suffered a great loss, it was still more tyrannical than the ordinary regal sects.
Moreover, the Dragon Island was involved in this matter, which made this matter countless times more complicated. However, he had no other choice. Hua Menghan was his woman. If he couldn't even protect his own woman, then how could he cultivate in the future?
It would only leave an indelible shadow in his heart in the future.
However, he had to be fully prepared before he went to disrupt the marriage proposal of the Dragon Island. His combat strength would go up another level when he broke through to the middle of the immortal-level. His strength would increase tremendously, and he would be more confident.
Even if he couldn't take Hua Menghan away, he would still mess up this engagement and retreat unscathed.
Just when Ye Xiwen was cultivating in seclusion, there was a big change in the situation. After the news spread, many people were still waiting to see what would happen.
A piece of news came.
"The new demon god, Ye Wudi, sent someone to send a letter of greeting and personally went to visit the Ancient Phoenix World. Could it be that he wants to get involved and fight for Hua Menghan as well?"
Many people were stunned after hearing the news. They had no words to describe the feeling of shock in their hearts.
Ao Chaozong was the most powerful genius of the Dragon Island in the past 10,000 years. He had proven his Dao for thousands of years, and his cultivation had reached an unbelievable level. Many of the experts of the older generation of the Dragon Island admitted that they were no match for him.
However, Ye Wudi was also a legend in recent years. Before he had proven his Dao, he had already traveled in the God Burial Star Ocean. Later on, before he had proven his Dao, he had even killed a god. Now that he had proven his Dao, his cultivation was also unbelievably high.
More importantly, Ye Wudi represented a supreme inheritance of the demon race. It was said that the Ancient Heavenly Court had declined a long time ago.
Long before the dragons, phoenixes, and qilins had withdrawn from the struggle for the hegemony of the world, and before the demon race and the human race had risen, it was the demon race that ruled the universe. They established the Heaven Court to manage the universe.
With the name of the Heavenly Court, one could imagine how powerful this force was. After many twists and turns, it was said that it had disappeared a long time ago. However, when Ye Wudi went to the God Burial Star Ocean, he claimed that he was the successor of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
However, people didn't pay much attention to it at first. Let's not talk about whether it was a fake or not. Even if it was true, the Ancient Heavenly Court had declined a long time ago. After so many years, there was no news of anyone surviving. Even if he didn't know where he had obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Heavenly Court, he was still far from being able to scare people with a tiger's skin.
But soon, after he announced the name of the Ancient Heavenly Court, many powerful tribes announced their return to the banner of the Ancient Heavenly Court. There were Great Demons that dominated the God Burial Star Ocean, and there were also powerful tribes that ruled many worlds. They all publicly surrendered to the Ancient Heavenly Court.
Many people were shocked. Some demon tribes and ancient great demons that didn't seem to have any connection were actually subordinates of the Ancient Heavenly Court. They were clearly just hiding, but there were still extremely powerful forces among them. With Ye Wudi's appearance, these forces all surfaced.
Now, behind Ye Wudi, there was also a huge force. The Ancient Heavenly Court was not just a symbol. It was a force that people couldn't help but pay attention to. Just the tribes and experts that had publicly surrendered were already no less than the King Sect. Many people guessed that there were probably many forces that had yet to surface.
The remaining forces of the Ancient Heavenly Court were also frighteningly huge.
Now that Ye Wudi had come personally, the meaning of this could not be underestimated even when the Ancient Phoenix Realm was still intact, let alone now that it was heavily injured.
Many people also remembered that Ye Xiwen seemed to have a very good relationship with Ye Wudi. They called each other brothers. Naturally, he couldn't have come at this time to fight for a woman with his brother. Then, there was only one possibility: he had come to support Ye Xiwen.
"Hua Menghan is my sister-in-law. Whoever forces her to marry is going against the Ancient Heavenly Court!" Ye Wudi said. As soon as he came out, his attitude was extremely unyielding. Such an attitude made many forces apprehensive. Unlike many King Sect, the Ancient Heavenly Court only had Ye Wudi as the heir in name. Everyone followed his lead. Encountering such a young and unyielding leader, it wasn't impossible for a war to break out.
This had also given the Ancient Phoenix World a headache. They hadn't paid attention to Ye Xiwen at first. He was just a puny human. He wasn't a Martial Great Sect's inheritances. However, he had dared to challenge them. Wasn't he courting death?
However, now that Ye Wudi had come personally, his purpose was very obvious. He was supporting Ye Xiwen. This was not to be trifled with.
The Dragon Island was burning with anger. This was not only a slap in the face of the Ancient Phoenix Realm, but also a slap in the face of the Dragon Island. The Ancient Heavenly Court was not to be trifled with, but the Dragon Island was not to be trifled with. In terms of foundation, the Dragon Island had a longer history than the Ancient Heavenly Court.
For a moment, swords were drawn. Everyone realized that this matter was going to be very serious.
