Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 438 Phoenix Clan Empress: Feng Wutong

Phoenix Domain.

"Clan leader, Feng Qingcang just sent a message back that the Divine Martial Emperor has chosen you as his marriage partner. This is the list of betrothal gifts he sent."

A powerful demon emperor cautiously reported to Empress Wutong on the high platform.

There was no way around it; when facing this person, not only him, but almost everyone felt terrified.

For no other reason than that this person is someone who has truly and independently killed a Chaos Beast at the peak of the Demon Emperor Realm.

Moreover, she is a domineering figure, and those who opposed her in the past are still being suppressed in forbidden areas and tortured every day.

With a wave of her hand, Feng Wutong presented the betrothal gift list to her.

She calmly flipped through the list of betrothal gifts.

Looking at the items above, although there aren't many, each one is definitely a top-grade treasure.

The Qin Dynasty's high regard for her can be seen from the betrothal gifts; at least on the surface, their sincerity was sufficient.

"Alright, arrange for my descent to the mortal realm. Oh, and find someone from the human race to teach me etiquette. I should learn some human manners during this time."

Feng Wutong put away the betrothal gift list before slowly speaking.

Her words shocked the Phoenix Clan's high-ranking members present.

They never expected that their domineering clan leader would actually agree.

And which Divine Martial Emperor actually dared to choose?

Previously, when the clan chief added his name to the marriage alliance list, everyone thought it was just a formality.

Emperor Shenwu would not choose their clan leader.

I never expected that the so-called madman, the Divine Martial Emperor, would actually dare to make that choice.

They felt that all their previous ideas had been shattered. Neither of these two people were mentally sound; one dared to choose, and the other dared to agree.

The key point is that their clan leader actually wanted to learn human etiquette, which shocked them even more.

"Clan leader, are you really going to marry down? No matter how monstrous that Divine Martial Emperor is, he is only at the peak of Immortal King now, and is just the ruler of a middle-level domain dynasty. Most importantly, if you marry him now, you will only be a concubine."

An elder spoke up to offer advice.

In his view, Qin Wu was not worthy of their clan leader, let alone take their clan leader as a concubine.

This is an insult to the Phoenix Clan.

"So what? It's not that he needs our help now, it's that we need his help."

"Others may not know the current situation of our Phoenix Clan, but surely you do? In these past few eras, not only have we failed to further integrate our fortune and domain, but our fortune has also been declining. It wasn't a big deal before, but after several eras, what kind of impact has this decline in fortune had? Don't you understand?"

"Right now, we can only try to find a way to resolve the loss of fortune through the Qin Dynasty. Do you have any other ideas?"

Feng Wutong said coldly.

Because they forcibly merged fortune and domain, wanting to completely bind the Phoenix Domain and the Phoenix Clan.

As their integration deepens, they are now suffering a backlash. In recent eras, their fortune has not only failed to increase but has actually been declining, albeit slowly.

Now it's even affecting the Phoenix Clan's population; fewer and fewer new phoenixes are being born in these past few eras.

This is not good news.

If this continues, their Phoenix Clan will perish sooner or later.

Similarly, not only them, but also the dragons were affected. However, the dragons were already numerous, so they were sure to last longer than them.

However, the dragon race has not produced a dragon with a superior bloodline for two eras now.

This shows how much influence fate has on the two races.

This is a secret unknown to other races, since only the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan currently control an upper-level domain.

Integrating fortune and domain.

As for other forces, none of them were able to do it.

This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that they will not be destroyed no matter what. Even if they have not merged much now, at least the survival of the race can be guaranteed.

However, the downsides are also obvious: their fortune is now waning, which will cause their race to become weaker and weaker.

If one day all these powerful beings were to perish, their race would completely decline, and they might even become the pets of other forces.

Upon hearing Feng Wutong's words, the elder who had spoken earlier fell silent.

Their situation is indeed as the chieftain described.

"Clan leader, we can simply choose a suitable elder for a marriage alliance; there's absolutely no need for you to personally arrange it!"

Another elder was puzzled as to why their clan leader would personally go to arrange a marriage.

"You two have to choose one? Are you sure what use you'll be? Are you sure you can guarantee we'll get what we want from the Divine Martial Emperor?"

"That person is not as simple as you think."

Feng Wutong stopped there and didn't continue.

Her inclusion of herself in the marriage alliance list was also a way of testing the Divine Martial Emperor.

If the Divine Martial Emperor did not choose her, then he was not a person with great ambition.

If the Divine Martial Emperor chooses her, then this Divine Martial Emperor's ambition is probably quite large, and they will have to carefully consider their future relationship with him.

Such a person is terrifying; he is ambitious, capable, and sufficiently insane.

His future is unimaginable.

Moreover, she had a premonition that this Divine Martial Emperor was probably plotting something earth-shattering.

She was eager to know what he was planning, so she readily agreed to the marriage.

This is also a secret she didn't tell anyone.

Feng Wutong's words silenced one of the elders once again.

They all knew very well that this Divine Martial Emperor was no ordinary person; he held the lives of eight late-stage Immortal Emperors in his hands.

Their Phoenix Clan still has a late-stage Demon Emperor, the Frozen Phoenix Emperor, who is currently asleep.

They had no confidence in getting any benefits from the Divine Martial Emperor, and according to the message sent back by the Frozen Phoenix Emperor, that person controlled dozens of laws. Given that their cultivation was suppressed, they were probably no match for him.

"Stop trying to persuade me. Just focus on your preparations! Use this time to arrange clan affairs. After I get married, the clan's affairs will be in your hands."

Seeing that there were still people trying to persuade her, Feng Wutong interrupted them directly.

Once she's made up her mind, there's no going back.

Next, they could only begin to discuss the future of their tribe.

After the discussion is completed.

They also found someone from the human race who teaches etiquette.

Feng Wutong then began to learn human etiquette and customs.

Time passed by little by little.

The dragon clan has also begun to make arrangements; they will send down several high-ranking dragon maidens as potential marriage partners.

In fact, the situation of the Dragon Clan is even more serious than that of the Phoenix Clan, but they have not made it public.
