Chapter 661: then translation of title
Facing the mighty advance of the Great Abyss Empire, Lin Jun's heart was filled with apprehension.
As for the victory in this battle, he had not the slightest confidence.
After great difficulty we wiped out the four great clans; could it be that in the end we still cannot stop the Great Abyss Empire?
After thinking it over, there was no good solution; in the end, Lin Jun could only, on one hand, arrange the troops at his disposal to rush to the border of the two countries, and on the other hand, seek out Lin Luochen.
This was the first time in several days that Lin Jun had come to see Lin Luochen.
When the siblings met, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
「I............. 」
He opened his mouth, intending to say a couple of caring words, but when the words reached his lips, he found he could not utter them at all.
As for Lin Luochen, regarding this, he merely said lightly.
「Anything up? 」
「The Great Abyss Empire is coming; follow your fellow disciples back. 」
Lin Jun had already made up his mind; no matter what the final outcome, there was no need for his sister to perish together with the Great Martial Empire.
Even if the Great Martial Empire were to be destroyed in this battle, it would not matter.
As for the Dao Yi Sect, having no kinship or enmity with the Great Martial Empire, there is no need to fight to the death for the Great Martial Empire against the Great Abyss Empire.
Although the Dao Yi Sect has shown formidable strength, the Great Abyss Empire is not weak.
Within its borders, the Great Abyss Empire boasts as many as eight Great Saint Realm experts, and crucially, it is backed by the Bai Yu Dynasty.
In terms of strength, the Dao Yi Sect is absolutely no match for the Bai Yu Dynasty.
This is a long-standing dynasty of Zhongzhou, whose strength is second only to the Three Holy Lands.
Therefore, before the war breaks out, Lin Jun hopes that Lin Luochen can leave Zhongzhou with his fellow disciples and return to Dongzhou, so as not to get involved again.
Upon hearing Lin Jun's words, a strange flicker passed through Lin Luochen's eyes.
Although she was deeply disappointed in Lin Jun, the Great Martial Empire was after all her birthplace; to watch it be destroyed before her eyes naturally made her feel awful.
Their conversation was not hidden from Zhao Zhengping, Xu Jie, and the others; the bystanders heard every word clearly.
「The Great Abyss Empire, is that the empire to which my junior sister is to be married? 」
「What does it matter? Why not just take care of them? 」
「Is this something we can decide? Or should we report it to the master first? 」
Lin Luochen gave Lin Jun no reply, but he also did not want his senior brothers to take risks on his account.
That very day, Lin Luochen personally met with Hong Zun, hoping everyone could leave the Great Martial Empire and not get involved in this muddy affair any further.
What Lin Luochen did not expect was that, upon hearing this, Hong Zun showed no hesitation and immediately shouted a rebuke.
「You rebellious disciple, do you want to stay behind again? 」
「Master, I.................. 」
「You are really going to anger your master to death. 」
What on earth is this rebellious disciple thinking all day? Does he have bubbles in his brain?
Regarding the Great Abyss Empire, Hong Zun and the others naturally had heard about it; not only the Tang family, but even the Lingcheng Alliance had long since received the news.
Qi Xiong and the others had also discussed this matter; their final conclusion was, 'Let's do it.'
Originally, this trip to Zhongzhou was, first of all, to seek an opportunity for Yu Mo and the others to break through into the Emperor Realm.
Secondly, it was to find an opportunity for the Dao Yi Sect to establish a presence in Zhongzhou.
And for a sect to gain a foothold in Zhongzhou, conflict is naturally unavoidable.
After all, if you lack solid achievements, who would freely give you resources for no reason?
You must understand that adding another sect means Zhongzhou's resources will be split another way; the pie is only so big, and with one more person taking a share, everyone else's gains will surely be smaller—this is an inevitable outcome.
Therefore, the only way is to make others acknowledge you, and that requires solid achievements.
Now that the Great Abyss Empire has come knocking on its own, isn't this the best option?
With the Dao Yi Sect's help, combined with the Great Martial Empire's army, we are not without a chance to fight.
Upon hearing Hong Zun's words, Lin Luochen was completely stunned.
this this this........ When did the sect become so fierce?
Not to mention Lin Luochen; even Tang Yao, upon first hearing this decision, had the same expression.
You lot actually came to the Great Martial Empire to save people, wiped out the four great clans notwithstanding, and now you want to take on the Great Abyss Empire?
What on earth is going on with this Dao Yi Sect? It feels like they're either not fighting or they're on the way to fighting.
For a moment, Tang Yao suddenly recalled a miraculous tribe of the Demon Race, the Flatheads.
This demon beast tribe may not be the strongest among the Demon Race, but it is absolutely the most dry.
Their numbers are not large, yet they fear nothing.
It is said that even the True Dragon clan of the Tianlong Holy Land has been taken on by the Flatheads.
As for the final result, it was shocking enough to drop countless jaws.
It was the True Dragon clan that backed down, proactively seeking peace, which ended the battle; otherwise the Flatheads would likely have fought the Tianlong Holy Land to the death, nets broken.
And right now, the impression the Dao Yi Sect gives Tang Yao is exactly that of the Flatheads among the demon beasts.
Whoever comes has to bump into them, just like the four great clans and the Great Abyss Empire.
However, Tang Yao obviously lacks the ability to change the Dao Yi Sect's decision; he can only resign himself to it in silence.
When the news that the Dao Yi Sect intended to intervene reached Lin Jun's ears, his face showed utter disbelief.
But this is actually good for him; with the Dao Yi Sect's help, his chances of winning will undoubtedly be greater.
Hurrying to see Qi Xiong and the others, upon seeing Lin Jun, Qi Xiong was not polite and spoke up without hesitation.
「We can take action, but the conduct of the war must be decided entirely by our Dao Yi Sect, including your Great Martial Empire's force of over one hundred thousand troops. 」
This..................
Facing this demand, Lin Jun hesitated a bit, after all, this is the army of the Great Wu Empire; handing command over to outsiders is really.............
"If you want to win, there's only this choice."
In response, Qi Xiong said unhurriedly, Lin Jun had no choice.
As expected, after hesitating a moment, Lin Jun still gritted his teeth and agreed.
On the other side, the three alliance leaders of the Spirit Chef Alliance were also gloomy.
Originally, the three planned to have Ye Zhangqing go to the alliance, but since the Great Wu Empire's affairs have ended, there is naturally no reason to stay in the Great Wu Empire now.
However, upon contacting Ye Zhangqing, they found out that a sect actually wanted to intervene in the war between the Great Yuan Empire and the Great Wu Empire, and the three alliance leaders were dumbfounded.
"Ye Xiaoyou, are you serious? Does your Dao Yi Sect really want to get involved in this?"
"Hmm, the Sect Master and others have already made a decision."
"But... but this brings no benefit at all to your Dao Yi Sect; the war between the Great Yuan Empire and the Great Wu Empire has nothing to do with your Dao Yi Sect, right"
"The Sect Master said, it's just displeasing to the eye."
Huh???
Hearing this reason, the three alliance leaders were actually speechless for a moment; "displeasing to the eye"? So we just fight? That's actually quite reasonable, for a moment the three of them had no rebuttal.
But, is this really necessary?
"Let's talk about the alliance after the war ends, sorry."
Leaving the three stunned, Ye Zhangqing apologetically said, and then hung up the formation.
Until the formation was hung up, the three alliance leaders of the Spirit Chef Alliance were still dazed; is it really that straightforward?
