Primordial Corpse Ancestor

The afterglow of the blazing sun continuously spilled across the entire land, causing the ancient sycamore leaves to refract into a brilliant gold, like a sacred radiance!

"What? A marriage proposal? They want to become Daoist partners with the Ancestor?"

"W-what? You want to marry our ancestor? Seriously? With looks like that, it's acceptable?"

"Ancestor? Marrying the ancestor? What's going on? How come I haven't heard anything about it?"

"No way? With the status of our ancestor, how could she just marry anyone?"

"They truly don't know their own limitations, daring to mock even the ancestor of my Phoenix Clan! They're courting death!"

"It's over! This person dares to make fun of the Ancestor like this, they really have guts. I just don't know if they can withstand the Ancestor's wrath!"

For a time, the entire Phoenix Clan was abuzz with discussion. Some sympathized with the Ancestral Dragon, while others admired his courage and boldness. However, none of them believed that the Ancestral Phoenix would agree to the Ancestral Dragon's request and become his Daoist partner!

"I sincerely wish to marry Fellow Daoist Zufeng and hope to cultivate the Great Dao together and participate in the creation!" Zulong looked at the reactions of the phoenix clan in front of him and for a moment lost his composure. He became a little flustered and hurriedly began to explain.

At this moment, Zu Feng was still not recovered from her previous astonishment. It was only after a long time that she gradually realized that Zu Long seemed to really intend to become her Daoist partner. As for Zu Long's words that he only wanted to become Zu Feng's Daoist partner, Zu Feng did not care.

After all, Zu Feng and Zu Long had never met before. This first meeting was marked by Zu Long bringing generous gifts and traveling thousands of miles to propose marriage. No matter how inexperienced Zu Feng was in the ways of the world, she would not believe that Zu Long had foreseen that he and Zu Feng would fall in love at first sight and that he would even prepare gifts in advance to propose marriage.

"Hmm! Fellow Daoist Zulong, are you sure what you said today wasn't just a casual remark? Are you sure you're doing what you're doing today? Are you sure you've thought this through?" Zufeng still didn't believe that Zulong really wanted to marry her, so she still clung to her last hope and tried to change Zulong's mind.

"Fellow Daoist Zufeng, rest assured! Zulong's words come from the bottom of his heart and are not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather the result of careful consideration. Our Phoenix Clan and Dragon Clan are both top-tier forces in the prehistoric world. If we unite, the relationship between the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan will surely be like that of brothers. At that time, if our two clans join forces, who in this prehistoric world will dare to act recklessly?"

Zu Long continued to try to persuade Zu Feng, while gradually explaining the advantages of the two races uniting, hoping to win Zu Feng's heart.

However, when Zu Long said these words, he originally intended to arouse Zu Feng's desire for the union of the two clans, but the actual meaning was exactly the opposite. When Zu Feng heard these words, she instantly understood that Zu Long's so-called marriage to her and subsequent union was actually for the sake of the Phoenix Clan's fighting strength.

In an instant, the Ancestral Phoenix's astonished expression vanished, replaced by a cold gaze as it stared at the Ancestral Dragon and slowly said, "Is Fellow Daoist Ancestral Dragon determined to proceed today? If my Phoenix Clan's myriad people disagree with this matter, what will be done?"

"Fellow Daoist Zufeng, there's no need to rush to answer. I understand this matter is somewhat sudden! Fellow Daoist Zufeng, please consider for a moment. We will wait here for your reply!" Zulong said to Zufeng with a smile.

"Zu Long, I know you must have something important to discuss with me today, but this matter is truly beyond my expectations, and it has never happened before in my Phoenix Clan. So please allow me to excuse myself for a moment! I need to summon all the elders of my Phoenix Clan to discuss this matter!" Zu Feng raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly.

"Yes! Fellow Daoist Zufeng, feel free to discuss it. It would be best if we could confirm the date of our wedding directly, then everything can be prepared in time!" Zulong looked at Zufeng with a smile, even thinking that Zufeng had begun to be moved.

"Hmm! This?" Upon suddenly hearing Zu Long say that he wanted to set the date of the wedding, Zu Feng was speechless and slightly embarrassed. He couldn't refuse directly, so he ignored Zu Long and waved his hand to summon all the phoenixes, including some phoenixes who had not yet transformed and were playing around in these places. Zu Feng summoned them all at once.

A moment later, after the Phoenix Clan returned, the so-called elders of the Phoenix Clan quickly returned to the hall where the Phoenix Clan usually held meetings. Guards stood guard at the hall door, and the Phoenix Clan elders all had serious expressions, as if they were facing a great enemy.

"Now that there are no outsiders here! Elders, please share your thoughts!" Zu Feng said lazily and helplessly, his mind preoccupied with his own concerns.

The elders looked at each other for a long time before one of the older Phoenix Clan members said, "In my opinion, the fact that the Ancestral Dragon traveled so far and brought such valuable gifts to propose marriage shows his sincerity!"

However, we don't know him well, and he came with Yang Mei. Although we don't know much about Zu Long, everyone knows that Yang Mei killed and robbed our clan. Therefore, I think we should be careful to avoid any traps!

"Yes! I also think so. Since they have never met our ancestor, why would they bring such a valuable gift to make this request without any reason? There must be something wrong with this."

"Not entirely. After all, the Dragon Clan is a powerful clan. If we can further improve our relationship with them, we can stand proudly and avoid being killed and robbed like before. However, we must ensure that the Ancestral Dragon truly came back to propose marriage because of the Ancestor. Otherwise, it will all be wishful thinking."

"I think so too, but if we agree, we must ensure that the Ancestral Dragon is not here specifically to plot against my Phoenix Clan because of some conspiracy. Otherwise, my clan will truly be doomed."

"I still think it's hard to say for sure. After all, Zulong came with Yangmei. Yangmei was extremely good at using his wisdom and strategy. And now Zulong is with Yangmei, which shows that the relationship between the two is extraordinary."

"It's hard to say. This time, the Ancestral Dragon seems to be very sincere. I didn't expect that he would even be willing to take out an innate spiritual treasure."

For a time, the elders began to argue about the matter. Some were optimistic about Zulong's sincerity, while others were really worried about Zulong and Yangmei's true motives, fearing that they would eventually be outmaneuvered by Zulong and Yangmei.

"Actually, Zulong and Yangmei didn't come here simply to propose marriage. I'm afraid they're plotting against my Phoenix Clan. I suspect they have some kind of ulterior motive. But since Zulong and Yangmei are both here, directly refusing them might anger them. Let's all think together about what we can do to overcome this crisis."

The Phoenix Clan spoke calmly to the elders.

"This? If that's really the case, then we're in trouble! Fortunately, we've already brought all the younger generation back to the volcano! Otherwise, the consequences would have been far more unimaginable!"

Following the elder's words, all the Phoenix Clan elders froze, their brows furrowed as they pondered the consequences.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

However, after a long time, Zu Feng discovered that not only was he unable to come up with a solution, but even the elders were unable to come up with one!

"Alas! I never imagined that my Phoenix Clan would suffer so many misfortunes! Since birth, we have never left Tiannan Volcano and have never had any contact with the people in the primordial world. Yet, there are always people who like to find us and try to plunder and exploit us."

"Strength! The root cause is always a matter of strength!" Zu Feng thought with a troubled expression.

"Zu Long, are you really sure you don't care about them? Aren't you afraid they'll try to escape or go to get reinforcements?" Yang Mei reminded Zu Long from the side.

"Let them be! With their current strength, they can't possibly achieve anything. As for those few in the Primordial World, you and I both know them. Given their status, how could the Phoenix Clan possibly persuade them?" Ancestral Dragon said calmly.

"That's not necessarily true. If there's a sufficient price to pay, it's possible that Hongjun, Luohou, or even Zulin could do it, since they're not without desires!" Yangmei replied to Zulong with certainty.

"Even if they are willing to pay a high price, it will still take them a long time to invite those few people, since none of them live or cultivate in the southern part of the country." Zu Long frowned slightly, and finally said nonchalantly.

"I hope it goes as you wish! But I'm always a little worried that things might change if we delay. It would be best to settle this matter as soon as possible and make everything a reality! That way, our grand plan can truly proceed without any obstacles!" Yang Mei said meaningfully.

"That's not necessarily true. What if the others also unite, like you and me? What would that be like?" Zu Long replied with a smile, looking at Yang Mei.

"Hmph! That means we need to speed up our plan even more! Before they can even react, we'll have already crushed them one by one, leaving them in complete disarray. They'll be nothing but grasshoppers in autumn, how could they possibly cause any trouble!" Yang Mei said with a determined expression.

"Alas! Actually, I still don't want to make the situation too tense. If Zufeng can agree to this, you and I can better complete the plan. Once we have a conflict with the Phoenix Clan, we must fight quickly to avoid other forces rising up and taking advantage of the situation to attack. Otherwise, you and I will really be in a dangerous situation." Zulong looked at the distant sky and said calmly.

"Therefore, we cannot give the Ancestral Phoenix too much time to consider and prepare! We must strike first and make a decisive impact so that the Phoenix Clan can withdraw from the competition on the prehistoric stage as soon as possible!" Yang Mei said with a determined look and an extremely firm tone!
