"What did you say?" Phoenix Old Ancestor stared at Huo Lie, his face darkening as his pupils constricted.
The Clan Leader guarding the gate was dumbfounded too. His face had gone deathly pale, and his body trembled.
"Your clan's Heavenly Maiden was born amid signs from heaven and earth, and she's exceptionally gifted. She barely qualifies as a match for Feiyang, so our clan is willing to accept her. We won't look down on her," Huo Lie said with a chuckle.
