"I heard that you are getting married soon; that's why I came here," Rocky mumbled while crossing his arms over his chest.
"Just leave. If the members of the Wood Clan find you here, they will surely not let you go. I'm not kidding around." Alyssa's face changed drastically. The other spiritual race clans had already found out that Rocky had successfully lifted the curse on Marcia's body during the battle with the Dragon Master Clan. Most of the clans might be skeptical about this news, but they had been secretly paying attention to his every move, and the Wood Clan was no exception to this speculation.
Rocky ignored her plea and continued with his agenda, "I'm here because I'd like to ask you a question."
"What is it?" Alyssa couldn't help but ask.
"Would you like to leave with me?" Rocky asked frankly.
"You already know my answer," Alyssa responded with gravity in her tone.
"That's exactly why I don't want you to sacrifice yourself. Hear me out. If what the Wood Clan desires is only the spiritual treasure, then I will return the other half of their spiritual treasure to them. This is the only solution I can think of as of now. In this way, you won't have to sacrifice yourself anymore," Rocky said as he tried to convince Alyssa.
"What do you mean by that?" Alyssa asked in wonder.
"In fact, the other half of the Wood Clan's spiritual treasure is in my possession and has not been taken away," Rocky replied.
Alyssa, on the other hand, widened her eyes in awe. Immediately, she shook her head and said, "You don't understand what's going on. The Wood Clan is not only after their spiritual treasure. They also want to protect themselves. At this moment, the Dragon Master Clan has internal strife that has greatly weakened its power, while the Phoenix Master Clan has never been bothered by any other worldly affairs. Therefore, the Wood Clan doesn't want to be the greatest threat to the big and influential Heavenly Demon Clan. Needless to say, the only way for us to end this is to reach an agreement with the Heavenly Demon Clan."
"Then I am wrong about my perception of the Wood Clan. I can't believe that they're much timider than I thought. The way I see it, they are afraid of being targeted by the Heavenly Demon Clan, so they try to use such a method..." Rocky said scornfully.
"You don't understand. The Wood Clan may seem powerfu
Soon after, the team packed their belongings and left the Wood Clan's place. After all, they weren't allowed to stay there for too long.
Not long after, the Heavenly Demon Clan's team arrived at the Wood Clan to fetch the bride. The person that led the entourage was an elder of a spiritual master of the Heavenly Demon Clan. Moreover, there were several powerful ordinary spiritual beings and more than twenty spiritual slaves present, making the event quite big.
It was true that the Wood Clan only wanted to send Alyssa to the Heavenly Demon Clan this time because they wanted to make an alliance with the latter. Thus, they had to sign the alliance agreement first before they could take Alyssa back. That was why the Heavenly Demon Clan sent an elder of the spiritual master to represent the patriarch. At that moment, he handed the two agreements written by Patriarch Townsend, in person to the patriarch of the Wood Clan. As soon as the patriarch of the Wood Clan signed the agreements, he gave one of them back to the elder of the spiritual master. All of this signing was needed to fulfill the alliance agreement.
As for the spiritual treasure, they would not give it to the Wood Clan until Alyssa was sent to the Heavenly Demon Clan and got married to Patriarch Townsend.
After securing the alliance agreement, Alyssa was also invited out, along with her dowries, to go back with the team of the Heavenly Demon Clan.
But before they set out to travel, Alyssa suddenly pulled out a dagger from her pocket and pressed it against her neck in front of everyone's presence.
