Chapter 1220: Outrageous Great Wu
It was not that Lin Luochen had never thought of seeking help from the sect, but having returned to the Central Continent for a long time, she naturally did not know the current situation of the Daoyi Sect.
In her eyes, although the Daoyi Sect was strong in Dongzhou, it could not contend with an imperial dynasty of the Central Continent.
She did not wish to bring a catastrophe upon the sect because of herself.
However, just as Lin Luochen intended to bear everything herself, inside the Tang Family Fortress, Until Hong Zun had already invited Tang Yao, hoping the Tang family could investigate the situation of the Great Wu Empire.
"Fourth Junior Sister must have encountered something; otherwise, it would be impossible for her to suddenly want to sever the master-disciple relationship."
On the side, Xu Jie, with a bruised and swollen face, rubbed his face and said with an air of wisdom.
But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Until Hong Zun.
"I don't know? Do I need you to tell me? Rebellious disciple, isn't it because of you?"
"I..."
Why are you angry at Fourth Junior Sister and blaming me? It makes it seem like I did it.
However, Until Hong Zun was in no mood to talk nonsense with Xu Jie now; what he cared about most was what had happened to Lin Luochen.
And upon hearing the words "Great Wu Empire," Tang Yao's expression became somewhat strange.
"The Senior's disciple is the Eldest Princess of the Great Wu Empire?"
"Is there a problem?"
Looking at the strange expression of Tang Yao, Until Hong Zun asked curiously.
"This... how should I put it? This Great Wu Empire is very strange; it is famous even in the Central Continent."
"Tell me in detail."
The Great Wu Empire's strength in the Central Continent is considered quite good. Although there is no Great Emperor holding down the fort, there are four great families within the country, and each family has a Great Saint existence.
However, their success lies with the four great families, and their failure also lies with the four great families.
From the beginning of the nation's founding, the four great families have firmly controlled everything in the Great Wu Empire, and the royal family is more like a puppet of the four great families.
The monarch of the country is merely a marionette pushed up by others; this was already bizarre enough.
But what is even more bizarre is that because of the control of the four great families, the Great Wu Empire, in its foreign relations, is completely unlike its name—it does not advocate for military force.
On the contrary, the Great Wu Empire is always submissive in its foreign relations.
Moreover, their favorite method is marriage alliances.
Of course, it is not the people of the four great families who go to marry, but the princesses and princes of the royal family who go to marry.
Using members of the royal family to marry, the four great families naturally feel no heartache at all. And, to subdue the enemy without fighting, isn't that perfect?
"Princes can also be sent for marriage alliances?"
Listening to Tang Yao's narration, Xu Jie and the others on the side were dumbfounded.
They had only heard of princesses going for marriage alliances; they had never heard of princes being able to go for marriage alliances.
"That's not even the most outrageous part. The most outrageous thing is that the Great Wu Empire once had an emperor sent away for a marriage alliance. They gave him the high-sounding title of Retired Emperor, but the four great families immediately installed a new emperor."
An emperor was sent away for a marriage alliance?
Hearing this, Xu Jie and the others' eyes widened. They were gaining knowledge—truly gaining knowledge. This Great Wu Empire was truly bizarre.
Speaking of this, Tang Yao looked at Until Hong Zun with a strange expression.
"So, since the Senior's disciple is a princess of the Great Wu Empire, it is most likely that she is going to..."
"Get married off?"
Until Hong Zun said through gritted teeth. Hearing this, Tang Yao nodded silently; he could think of no other reason.
Hearing this, the expressions of Until Hong Zun and his disciples all became exceptionally ugly. Damn it, this Great Wu Empire actually wants to use Fourth Junior Sister for a marriage alliance?
"Master, let's destroy those dog-shit four great families and rescue Fourth Junior Sister."
Zhao Zhengping said without hesitation. No matter what, they could not watch Fourth Junior Sister jump into a pit of fire.
Until Hong Zun was of the same mind, but he still said in a deep voice.
"I must still trouble the Tang Family Head to investigate the situation of the Great Wu Empire as soon as possible. It would be best if it could be more detailed."
"Very well."
Regarding this, Tang Yao did not refuse.
Afterward, Until Hong Zun turned his head to look at Zhao Zhengping and the others.
"I still need to discuss this matter with the Eldest Senior Brother."
After arranging the matters, Until Hong Zun immediately found Facing Qi Xiong and the others, including Ye Changqing, who was also present.
He recounted the matter of Lin Luochen and the Great Wu Empire, expressing his desire to go and rescue her.
Regarding this, everyone marveled at the bizarre nature of the Great Wu Empire and also agreed with Until Hong Zun's decision.
The Great Wu Empire has four Great Saints on the surface, but the current Daoyi Sect does not fear it.
Times have changed; the current Daoyi Sect is no longer what it once was.
Moreover, given the Daoyi Sect's consistent character, protecting their own is a certainty, so they must rescue her.
"Then we shall wait for Tang Yao to find out the news about the Great Wu Empire, and then we shall depart."
"Very well."
Facing Qi Xiong said decisively.
Tang Yao's action was fast, mainly because this was not a secret, so it was not a difficult matter to find out clearly.
Just one day later, Tang Yao brought back the news.
Just as he had guessed before, Lin Luochen had indeed been arranged to be married off.
The object was a foolish prince of the Great Abyss Empire.
The cause of the matter was that the Great Abyss Empire and the Great Wu Empire had friction at the border, after which the Great Abyss Empire declared that it would attack Great Wu.
Upon learning of this, the first reaction of the four great families was to admit defeat and then arrange a marriage alliance.
And the current Great Wu Empire's new emperor had only been on the throne for five years; in front of the four great families, he naturally had no say at all.
Moreover, the new emperor was young and had no heirs, so Lin Luochen, as the new emperor's younger sister, naturally became the best object for the marriage alliance.
It is said that in three days, Lin Luochen would be sent to the Great Abyss Empire.
After hearing the news Tang Yao had gathered, Xu Jie had a look of sudden realization.
"No wonder. Back then, after Fourth Junior Sister received the message from the Central Continent, she hurried to the Central Continent. That must have been when her eldest brother ascended the throne."
"Ascended the throne, my foot! He was still being controlled by others in the palm of their hands."
The Emperor of the Great Wu Empire absolutely had no substance; he was completely a mascot.
"Since the matter has been clarified, let's set off to rescue her."
Facing Qi Xiong did not hesitate and immediately made the decision.
Hearing this, Tang Yao was stunned. Are they really going to rescue her? But if they do this, wouldn't they be offending both the Great Wu and Great Abyss imperial dynasties at the same time?
Of these two imperial dynasties, Great Wu is easier to talk about, but the Great Abyss Empire's strength is very strong.
There are as many as eight Great Saint experts on the surface, and who knows if there are any hidden ones in the dark. As for Great Wu, the strength of the four great families cannot be underestimated.
This was decided just like that? Without considering it further?
Tang Yao really did not expect the Daoyi Sect to be so unyielding; for the sake of one disciple, they would just do it?
"What is that expression on your face?"
Noticing Tang Yao's expression, Mo Yun said.
"No, I just feel, would it be too reckless? The strength of Great Wu and Great Abyss..."
"It's not asking your Tang family to take action, so what are you worried about?"
"The junior does not mean that. The Tang family naturally follows the lead of the Upper Sect, but the junior feels, shouldn't we plan it out? At the very least, we should also win over a few of the great figures from the Holy Land."
In Tang Yao's view, Li Zhengqing and the others were currently at the Tang family, and their relationship with the Daoyi Sect seemed quite good, especially regarding Ye Changqing's food, which they couldn't get enough of.
If they could get the support of the Yunluo Holy Land, wouldn't that be better? ===== CHAPTER 1221 =====
