This, of course, shocked everyone present, including the powerful patriarch and the elders of the Wood Clan, and the members sent by the Heavenly Demon Clan.
"Alyssa, what are you doing?" the patriarch of the Wood Clan asked in a mortified tone.
"Patriarch, the Heavenly Demon Clan wants my legendary guardian beast, the Moon Fox. For that reason, I refuse to become a part of their clan. But I do not want to bring shame to my clan either. So, I will hand over the Moon Fox and will die to atone for my behavior," Alyssa said resolutely. She now knew the Heavenly Demon Clan's intention—they wanted the Moon Fox, not her. If it was just her being sent to the Heavenly Demon Clan, she might have reluctantly agreed. But the Wood Clan had already agreed to exchange her and the Moon Fox for the spiritual treasure. There was no room for any discussions at this point. Above all, she had no will to marry the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Clan because she had already fallen in love with someone else.
"What's going on here, Patriarch?" the elder of the Heavenly Demon Clan demanded. Alyssa was playing some kind of drama, and he wanted to get over this as soon as possible. He was so close to obtaining the Moon Fox, and couldn't afford to let this woman destroy everything at the last minute. If his patriarch hadn't ordered him to bring Alyssa and the Moon Fox back together to his clan, he wouldn't have bothered to care whether she was alive or dead.
The patriarch of the Wood Clan tried to pacify the elder. "Elder, please give us a moment. Let us talk to her."
He then turned to Alyssa. "Alyssa, think about this carefully. This alliance is of great importance to the Wood Clan," the patriarch said, trying to reason with her.
"Yes, Alyssa, let's talk about this! Think twice before you take this step," the elders of the Wood Clan echoed.
The alliance between them and
rch ordered. He had no time to deal with the man. Right now, he was most concerned about Alyssa's matter.
Soon, a few spiritual slaves surrounded Rocky.
"Patriarch! He is my friend. Please, let him be!" Alyssa stood up to protect him.
"Your friend?" The patriarch looked Rocky up and down once. He noticed that his aura was very unique. He couldn't identify if he was weak or strong. However, there was a very strong power hidden within his body. The patriarch was now curious about the human's identity.
"Run!" Alyssa whispered to Rocky.
He just smiled. Turning to the patriarch, he said, "You must be the patriarch of the Wood Clan. Let us make a deal, shall we?"
"A deal?" the patriarch smirked. Not only did this human trespass into his clan, but now, he wanted to make a deal with him. He was either very brave, or very foolish.
"I have something that your clan wants," Rocky continued.
"How could a mere human have something that we want? Ridiculous! Get him out of here!" an elder of the Wood Clan roared as he waved his hand angrily.
"Don't you at least want to see what I have to offer?" Rocky asked as he took out the Mysterious Spirit Raw Gemstone which should have been embedded on the spiritual treasure of the Wood Clan.
