Chapter 1222

"We'll just fight our way through."

The Daoyi Sect's plan was very simple and crude: take Lin Luochen away, and if anyone tries to stop them, kill them.

As for asking the Yunluo Holy Land to come forward, not to mention whether they would agree, Facing Qi Xiong and the others had no such thought anyway.

Their own disciple, they would certainly protect themselves.

"This... this..."

Things having reached this point, Tang Yao opened his mouth, not knowing what else to say. Has this Daoyi Sect always been this brave?

Moreover, looking at the expressions of everyone present, they didn't seem to think there was any problem at all.

"Alright, everyone prepare yourselves; we depart today."

"Senior, my Tang family is also willing to go."

Tang Yao finally gritted his teeth and said. Having made up his mind to follow the Daoyi Sect, isn't this a good opportunity to show his loyalty?

It must be said that this Tang Yao is indeed a decisive person.

Even though he was worried about offending the Great Wu Empire and the Great Abyss Empire, he still made the decision quickly.

Hearing this, even Facing Qi Xiong looked at Tang Yao with some curiosity, but he didn't say much, just nodded and said.

"If you want to go, then go. You don't need to bring too many people; just bring some elites."

"The junior understands."

"Then everyone go and prepare."

Upon hearing that the Daoyi Sect was going to the Great Wu Empire to rescue someone, Li Zhengqing and the five others did not express their stance, only regretting that they wouldn't be able to eat Ye Changqing's food again.

As elders of the Yunluo Holy Land, they naturally could not express their stance casually.

Every word and action could potentially have a significant impact on the situation.

But what Ye Changqing did not expect was that the three Alliance Masters of the Spirit Chef Alliance actually expressed their willingness to go along.

Moreover, if there was a need, the Spirit Chef Alliance would also take action.

Regarding this, Ye Changqing expressed his gratitude, but still politely declined the Spirit Chef Alliance's offer of help.

He hadn't even joined yet, and if he owed too many favors, it would be difficult to handle things later.

He had already accepted the Red Sun Heavenly Flame; if he let the Spirit Chef Alliance help again, Ye Changqing himself would feel somewhat embarrassed.

Besides, the Daoyi Sect truly did not put the Great Wu Empire in their eyes.

After everyone had packed up, the Daoyi Sect group, along with Tang Yao and a batch of Tang family members, set off for the Great Wu Empire.

As for Li Zhengqing and the five others, they returned to the Holy Land, and the three Alliance Masters of the Spirit Chef Alliance returned to the Alliance, waiting for Ye Changqing to arrive.

Both sides agreed that once the matter of the Great Wu Empire was over, they would go to the Alliance.

The Daoyi Sect side had already set off for the Great Wu Empire.

And inside the Great Wu Empire palace, a young man wearing an imperial robe was standing under the eaves, looking at the drizzling rain.

The weather was overcast with dark clouds, and the rain had been falling for an entire night, just like the man's mood.

The man was the Emperor of the Great Wu Empire, Lin Luochen's brother, Lin Jun.

He had been on the throne for five years, but for these five years, he had been completely a puppet controlled by others.

Let alone any political decrees, even within this palace, it was filled with people from the four great families.

His every word and action, his every move, were firmly monitored by the four great families.

And all matters, large and small, of the country were also decided by the four great families.

"Your Majesty, the weather is windy, don't catch a cold."

At this time, an old eunuch stepped forward and asked with concern.

This old eunuch could be considered one of the few loyalists to Lin Jun; he had followed him since he was a child until he later ascended the throne as emperor.

For these five years, it was not that Lin Jun had not thought of escaping this situation.

But everything was too difficult, too difficult. The four great families' control over the Great Wu Empire had reached a terrifying degree.

Their Lin family's ancestors of several generations had constantly worked hard, but it seemed they were never able to shake the four great families.

By the time it reached Lin Jun, although the royal family had secretly accumulated quite a bit of strength, Lin Jun knew very well that this bit of strength was still insufficient to contend with the four great families.

"Perhaps I will not be able to do it in my lifetime, but as long as my Lin family's descendants continue to strive, one day we will be able to eradicate those four great families."

He whispered softly. Every generation had worked hard to eradicate the four great families.

Even if they only accumulated a little bit of strength, by accumulating little by little, day after day, there would eventually come a day when they had enough strength to contend with the four great families.

At that time, perhaps some descendant, relying on the strength accumulated by their ancestors, could successfully escape the control of the four great families.

This was the belief in Lin Jun's heart.

However, there was one thing that Lin Jun could never let go of, and that was Lin Luochen.

He naturally could not bear for Lin Luochen to be like this, but he had no choice. He, the emperor, could not refuse the words of the four great families.

"Luochen, she..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to show concern, but the words reached his lips and he could not say them.

However, the old eunuch understood Lin Jun's thoughts and spoke directly in reply.

"Her Highness the Princess is safe and sound; she has not left her room for an entire day."

"I have failed her."

Lin Jun sighed leisurely. If it were possible, how could he not want to protect his younger sister well and let her be carefree?

After the words fell, Lin Jun did not speak again. At this point, whatever was said was already too late.

Perhaps he shouldn't have let Luochen return from Dongzhou in the first place; letting her stay in Dongzhou would have been quite good.

Two days later, today was the day Lin Luochen was to be married off to the Great Abyss Empire.

The envoys of the Great Abyss Empire had already arrived. In the palace hall, Lin Jun and a group of Great Wu Empire officials were gathered together.

And below Lin Jun's dragon chair, there were four chairs, but they were empty.

These four chairs belonged to the four great families. Now that they hadn't arrived, even the morning court session could not begin.

Looking at those four chairs, Lin Jun gritted his teeth secretly. One day, his Lin family would destroy these four chairs.

"Your Majesty's complexion is not too good; is there something troubling you?"

Just as he was thinking, an old voice came from outside the hall, and then an old man with white hair walked slowly into the hall.

The old man was not wearing official robes, but as he entered the hall, the civil and military officials present bowed one after another, and even Lin Jun had to stand up actively and pretend to be polite.

"Elder Zhang."

"Hm, Your Majesty, as the Emperor of our Great Wu, you must take care of your health."

Nodding slightly, the old man went to his seat and sat down.

Afterward, the people of the other three great families arrived one after another. After they were seated, the morning court session officially began.

First was the meeting with the envoys of the Great Abyss Empire, and the envoys did not give Lin Jun any face at all.

Everyone knew that the Emperor of the Great Wu Empire was just a puppet, so why waste words with a puppet? Just talk directly to the four great families and be done with it.

After some pleasantries, the envoys indicated that they would escort Lin Luochen to the Great Abyss Empire that very day.

Regarding this, the four great families did not object. Lin Jun, on the imperial chair, although his face was blue with anger, did not speak either.

And in the inner palace, Lin Luochen was already dressed neatly and, supported by palace maids, was slowly boarding the Great Abyss Empire's space spirit boat. ===== CHAPTER 1223 =====
