Tianzhou's territory was vast and was divided into five regions. They were the East Domain, the South Mountain, the West Ocean, the North Desert, and the Central Plain.
The Wen family was located in the most desolate part of the Northern Desert.
As the name suggested, most of the places in the Northern Desert were deserts, very desolate. There were only a few places that were firmly controlled by a few forces.
The Wen Clan was one of them. The Wang Clan, who wanted to annex the Wen Clan through marriage, was also one of them.
At this moment, the sun hung high in the sky. It was noon.
The important figures of the Wen and Wang families gathered together to discuss the marriage.
The people of the Wang Clan all had smiles on their faces, extremely pleased with themselves.
On the other hand, the members of the Wen clan wore worried expressions. All of them hung their heads dejectedly and remained silent.
They didn't want Ruyu to marry into the Wang family, and they all knew very well what the Wang family was planning. However, there was no other way. Firstly, the Wen Clan had met with some trouble recently. They had no choice but to borrow the strength of the Wang Clan.
Secondly, the Wang Clan was too domineering. It was obvious that they wanted to force the marriage.
If it was in the past, the Wen Clan would naturally not agree to it. At worst, they would just fight. In any case, the difference in strength wasn't that great, so there was always a chance for a fight.
But right now, the Wen Clan was in trouble. Not only were they powerless to fight against the Wang Clan, but they also had to seek help from the Wang Clan.
Therefore, the Wang Clan took advantage of the situation and requested for the Wen Clan Leader's daughter, Wen Ru Yu, to marry the Wang Clan Leader's son.
Even though the Wen Clan was unwilling to agree to this, they had no choice but to brace themselves and agree due to the current situation. They knew very well that the Wang Family's ultimate goal was to swallow up the Wen Family.
But at least they were safe for a short period of time and the Wen family could take a breather.
Therefore, for the sake of the entire clan, the Wen Clan Leader had to agree to this and chose to sacrifice Wen Ru Yu.
"Haha, the reason why I'm here today is because I have two things to discuss with Clan Leader Wen."
A middle-aged man laughed heartily, full of joy and pleasure. He was the current leader of the Wang Clan. He was of the advanced stage of the original level.
Hearing this, the Wen Clan Leader sighed and forced a smile, "Wang Clan Leader, please speak your mind."
"The first is to discuss the wedding date of the two children. After all, we've already agreed to this matter. It's better to get it done as soon as possible. "
The Wang Clan Leader chuckled and said, "You don't know this, but ever since my son heard about this, he's been missing you so much that he can't eat or drink. I'm afraid that if this drags on for a few more days, he will fall ill and die. "
Hearing this, the Wen Clan Leader knew that this was just an excuse. His goal was to set this matter in stone and not allow him to go back on his word. Although he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
There was no other way, the trouble with the Wen family was imminent. Naturally, he wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible so that the Wang family could send out their troops as soon as possible.
Therefore, the Wen Clan Leader sighed, "We will do as Clan Leader Wang says. I wonder what the second thing is?"
"Well …"
The Wang Clan Leader had a strange smile on his face as he drummed his fingers rhythmically on the table, "I think, since Ru Yu is the Wen Clan Leader's daughter, then her dowry cannot be too shabby. Why don't we use the Tree of the Warming Soul as her dowry. What does the Wen Clan Leader think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the living room fell into silence.
The members of the Wen Clan were stunned at first. Then, they looked enraged. If it weren't for the fact that they still had some sense left in them, they would have already attacked.
What a joke!
The Tree of the Warming Soul was the foundation of the Wen Clan. It was a heavenly treasure passed down by their ancestors. Even the Wen family name was derived from the Tree of the Warming Soul. This item meant a lot to the Wen Clan. Why would they give it to Ru Yu as a dowry?
Though the Wen Clan knew very well that the Wang Clan's goal was to take the Tree of the Warming Soul and swallow the entire Wen Clan. But Ru Yu hasn't even married yet and they are already asking for the Tree of the Warming Soul. This was far too unsightly.
"Wang Clan Leader, you have crossed the line."
The Wen Clan Leader suppressed his anger, "The Tree of the Warming Soul is of great significance to the Wen Clan. Though it is dead now, it cannot be used as a dowry."
"I can't …"
The Wang Clan Leader teased. He knew that his behavior was unsightly. But so what? He didn't plan on hiding his ambition. He was going to be arrogant to the end!
"It's okay if you don't want to. Then I think we should forget about this marriage."
The Wang Clan Leader played with the teacup in his hand and threatened, "Who knows, maybe tomorrow, the Wen Clan will be destroyed. I may have to bear the risk of being married to your clan."
At those words, the hall once again fell into dead silence.
Every member of the Wen Clan was enraged. They knew that the Wang Clan Leader was threatening the Wen Clan.
Therefore, why wouldn't they be enraged? Yet there was nothing they could do.
The Wen Clan Leader felt the same. He knew very well that without the Wang Clan's help, the Wen Clan will be destroyed.
When that happens, not only will they lose the Tree of the Warming Soul, even the hundreds of people in the Wen Clan will perish.
Therefore, the Wen Clan Leader sighed, "Oh well, we will do as the Wang Clan Leader says."
"Hahaha, good, how satisfying!"
The Wang Clan Leader laughed out loud, full of joy and satisfaction.
The other members of the Wang Clan did the same. Their laughter echoed and stabbed into the Wen Clan's heart like a knife.
Every single member of the Wen Clan subconsciously tightened their fists, feeling a humiliation they have never felt before.
But to survive, to gain valuable time to breathe, they had to endure!
"I have promised you two things. I wonder when will the Wang Clan Leader help us get through this?" The Wen Clan Leader asked.
"That's easy. Our two clans are already in-laws. Of course we will help you." The Wang Clan Leader smiled. His words made the Wen Clan Leader happy.
But what he said next made the Wen Clan Leader's face darken.
"However, the two original leveled cultivators of the Wang Clan are in isolation. We have no choice but to send completion leveled cultivators to help."
At those words, the Wen Clan Leader's expression darkened.
The other members of the Wen Clan reacted the same way.
The opponent they were facing this time was very strong. Only original leveled cultivators had a chance against them. Completion leveled cultivators would only be cannon fodder. Yet the Wang Clan Leader said that they could only send completion leveled cultivators. This was clearly toying with the entire Wen Clan!
The Wang Clan had taken all the advantages. Beautiful women, heavenly treasures, yet the Wang Clan didn't want to help at all!
This was going too far!
Everyone from the Wen Clan was enraged. If the Clan Leader didn't tell them not to act rashly, they would've rushed up and fought these bastards.
"Wang Clan Leader, aren't you crossing the line by doing this?" The Wen Clan Leader suppressed his anger. The armrest of his chair was crushed by him.
"Crossing the line?"
The Wang Clan Leader taunted and laughed out loud, "Haha, I am crossing the line. What can the Wen Clan do to me? After all, you have agreed. If you go back on your word, then the Wang Clan will join forces with that force and destroy the Wen Clan. "
As he spoke, he rose to his feet and ignored the seething Wen family members as he walked towards the door. As he walked, he laughed out loud, displaying his arrogance.
This infuriated the members of the Wen Clan to the extreme. They also felt extremely humiliated.
While the Wang clan leader was laughing in a presumptuous manner, a calm voice that was filled with iciness was suddenly transmitted from outside the door.
"He agreed, I didn't."
