Chapter 677 The Maha Clan's Coercion
Qingyan calmed himself down before speaking to Qingyanqian, "Father, the Maha clan has arrived..."

Qing Yanjing recounted her and Lan Hong's experiences upon returning to the clan, and Qing Yanqian frowned deeply after listening.

"Father, please just help me reject the marriage proposal to Maha Tian."

"This...this matter needs to be considered carefully."

Upon hearing her father Qing Yanqian's words, Qing Yanjing felt an indescribable emotion.

She could understand that her father, as the clan leader, needed to balance the power of the entire Futu clan and also consider the future of the Futu clan.

But am I only meant to be a bargaining chip in a transaction?
I am also a living, breathing human being, with flesh and blood and my own independent thoughts!
In a world where strength reigns supreme, how many people can truly be independent? They're all just puppets, only with different people pulling the strings.

Qing Yanqian knew that these words were somewhat unfair to Qing Yanjing, but he couldn't rashly reject the marriage agreement between Qing Yanjing and Mohetian.

At least we have to wait until he finds the traitors within the Buddha clan.

In fact, the real problem of the Futu Clan is not the traitors, but that the clan leader, Qing Yanqian, has interests that run counter to those of most of the Futu Clan.

Qing Yanqian wanted to stall for time, but most of the Futu clan wanted Qing Yanjing and Mohetian to complete their marriage agreement as soon as possible.

This aligns with the interests of most of the Maha and Futu tribes.

Qing Yanqian's indecisiveness prevented him from suppressing the voices of opposition within his clan. Being ambushed by extraterrestrial demons would not be the last time. If the situation did not change, he would not be so lucky next time.

Lan Hong gently patted Qing Yanjing's shoulder. She glanced at Lan Hong and calmed down.

"I am fine."

"It's good that you're alright. Go out and tell the others that Clan Chief Qing Yanqian has woken up."

Qing Yanqian walked out of the room with them.

Fu Tu Xuan and the others were waiting outside the defensive barrier. Lan Hong opened the door and casually retrieved the ancestral tower.

Everyone else was very surprised to see Qing Yanqian actually wake up.

The Futu Clan wasn't truly indifferent to Qing Yanqian; they had tried their best to save him, but to no avail, which led them to believe that Qing Yanqian was beyond saving.

"Chieftain, it's so good that you're awake."

"Yeah yeah!"

"Hmph, I'm afraid some people will be unhappy that I've woken up. Some people in the clan would love for me to die sooner."

"Chieftain, don't listen to their nonsense. Of course, we all hope that you can survive."

Looking at these people's faces, Qing Yanjing felt only hatred, while Lan Hong found it laughable.

In the eyes of many ordinary cultivators in the vast world, ancient divine races like the Futu Clan must be noble and mysterious.

However, the facts proved that the world is a makeshift operation, and there is not much difference between different places.

The glamorous facade you see is just what others want you to see.

Mohe Xing then noticed the key point and said with a smile, "Clan Chief Qing Yanqian, please don't get angry. You've just woken up and your strength hasn't recovered yet."

Qing Yanqian had no good feelings towards Maha Xing either, and his arrival at the time of his Futu clan clearly indicated ill intentions.

"You don't need to worry about that. You should take care of your own clan's affairs. I have some clan matters to attend to, so I won't keep you any longer. Please leave."

Qing Yanqian was essentially giving him the order to leave, but Mohe Xing completely ignored him.

"Clan Chief Qingyanqian, there's no need to be in such a hurry. I have something else I want to discuss with you."

Qing Yanqian frowned. Of course he knew what Mohe Xing wanted to talk about, a topic he least wanted to bring up right now.

"Let's talk about other things at another time. I have some internal matters to deal with today."

"This won't do. This matter must be resolved today."

Maha Xing pressed on relentlessly, giving Qing Yanqian no chance to delay. Fu Tu Xuan also spoke to Qing Yanqian, saying, "Yes, clan leader, it's time to finalize the marriage alliance between the two clans."

Qing Yanqian glared fiercely at Fu Tu Xuan. This elder was always contradicting him, and he was a complete failure as the clan leader.

"The marriage alliance between the two tribes is of great importance and cannot be rushed. Let's reschedule for another time."

Qing Yanqian wanted to continue stalling, but Mohe Xing directly brought it up.

"No need. I only have one question about the marriage agreement made by the two clans back then: Clan Chief Qing Yanqian, do you acknowledge it or not?"

Maha Xing's actions were practically a coup, and Qing Yanqian had no choice but to give an answer.

Lan Hong crossed her arms over her chest, looking like she was watching a show, while Qing Yanjing remained expressionless, as if what they were talking about had nothing to do with her.

Qing Yanjing has made her decision: regardless of Qing Yanqian's attitude towards the marriage, she will leave the Futu Clan and never return.

This place has already broken her heart; there's no need for her to waste any more emotions on it.

“Maha Xing, why are you being so aggressive? This doesn’t benefit anyone.”

"I don't think so. If the marriage agreement is finalized, my Maha clan can prepare for the wedding sooner."

Both our races need the addition of fresh blood, don't we?

At this moment, Qing Yanjing didn't want to put Qing Yanqian in a difficult position, so she stepped forward herself.

"Enough. I will not agree to this marriage alliance. Neither the Futu Clan nor the Maha Clan can force me."

"Jing'er..."

Qing Yanqian frowned.

"Father!"

Qing Yanjing bowed to Qing Yanqian.

"Leave the rest to me. Anyone who tries to force me to marry someone I don't love will have to ask my sword first."

"How dare you! Qing Yanjing, do you even respect the clan rules?"

"Hmph, Elder, isn't it obvious? The clan rules are bullshit in my eyes, and so are you all. You all look respectable, but none of you do anything right..."

Qing Yanjing had probably been suppressing her emotions for too long, and she unleashed a torrent of abuse on everyone, using particularly offensive language.

This is a stark contrast to her usual behavior.

Not only were those she scolded completely stunned, but even Qing Yanqian and Lan Hong were surprised.

After realizing what had happened, Qing Yanqian felt heartbroken, wondering how wronged his daughter must have been to erupt like that.

"Enough! Qing Yanjing, do you really think I wouldn't dare to punish you?"

"Hehe, you can give it a try."

Lan Hong's simple remark shut Fu Tu Xuan down completely.

After all, he really couldn't beat Lan Hong, and the Ancestral Tower was still in Lan Hong's hands.

At that moment, Maha Tian, ​​the other protagonist in the engagement, said to Maha Xing, "Father, please allow me to say a few words."

Maha Xing glanced at Maha Tian and nodded, saying, "Alright, just say what you want to say."
