Chapter 517 What If I Don’t Marry
Although everything that is happening now is what they have always dreamed of in the past, it happened too quickly and too violently, and the Tong family can hardly accept it.
And they were also very confused. Even though Tong Liya was extremely talented and had the Nine Yin Body, she had not grown up after all. The Yang family was so good to them, even a little respectful. Wasn't it a bit too much?
Not to mention the Yang family, Elder Yang Ye is also an existence beyond the Grandmaster, but he is so respectful to Tong Liya, a mid-level warrior, which always feels a bit strange.
Is there something they don’t understand, or is there some powerful person who has taken a fancy to Yang Ye?
But this time is too short. The news that Tong Liya possesses the Nine Yin Body has not spread for long. Even if a big shot takes a fancy to her, it will take some time.
Because they didn't understand the reason, the Tong family didn't dare to rashly accept the resources and industries sent by many families. As for the enemies and even heads that had been sent over, they left them alone for the time being and didn't dare to act rashly.
At this moment, a number of flying chariots came into the sky, and driving the chariots were several dragons and phoenixes of more than 20 levels, that is, divine dragons and divine phoenixes.
It came with such great power and momentum that the entire Liyuan County was obscured by it, and it was almost invisible.
While everyone in the Tong family was still in shock, one by one the masters, gods and demons of the Yang family came flying in from the sky, surrounded by a dragon and phoenix chariot, and arrived at the Yang family mansion.
Soon, an old man with a fiery face got off one of the dragon and phoenix chariots and walked towards the Tong family mansion.
The top leaders of the Tong family hurried out to greet them. There were also some people from other families watching around, and they all saluted at this moment.
Even a fool could see that the visitor was extraordinary. Based on the information received, this person was most likely Yang Zhan, the ancestor of the Yang family.
"Meet Elder Yang..."
Everyone in the Tong family hurriedly saluted, but was immediately helped up by Yang Zhan: "You don't deserve this, you don't deserve this. I heard that the Tong family has a strict family tradition and does a lot of good deeds every year. No wonder such a good fortune came to us. Third Miss, I am here to show my respect."
His attitude towards Tong Liya was equally respectful, and was not much inferior to Yang Ye's, which shocked everyone in the Tong family even more.
When the group arrived at the reception room, Tong Xionghu could no longer hold back and asked what was going on. Their Tong family was a small family and Tong Liya was just a mid-level warrior. Even if he was lucky enough to have the Nine Yin Body, he was not worthy of such courtesy from the Yang family.
Yang Ye didn't dare to make the decision on this matter, but as the ancestor of the Yang family, Yang Zhan could naturally decide whether to tell the Tong family or not.
Seeing the puzzled looks on the faces of the Tong family, Yang Zhan thought for a moment and realized that this matter could not be concealed. Since it could not be concealed, he might as well do this favor.
"I wonder if you have ever heard about the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor's marriage proposal?"
Yang Zhan asked, and his words made everyone in the Tong family look at each other in surprise.
"No, I don't know who the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor is?"
"This nickname sounds very impressive. Could it be a strong person from other islands around here?"
"Is he looking for a wife? I wonder what this has to do with our Tong Liya?"
……
Seeing the puzzled looks of the Tong family, Yang Zhan explained, "In the past few years, our Yang family has been searching for girls with special physiques everywhere because of this matter. And the main target of that search was girls with Nine Yin bodies, because the people that Lord Jiulong Sword Emperor is looking for are girls with Nine Yin bodies."
"what……"
These words shocked everyone in the Tong family. They didn't expect that the Yang family's previous search for disciples with special talents was related to this incident.
"Does the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor want to practice some special technique, or does he want someone to be his cauldron? I heard that the Nine Yin Body is one of the best cauldrons. Could it be that he wants someone to be his cauldron?"
"As long as one has the Nine Yin Body, one can marry the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor? I wonder who this Nine Dragon Sword Emperor is."
"If I have the Nine Yin Body but am unwilling to marry the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor, will I be retaliated against?"
……
Everyone in the Tong family was extremely confused and started discussing the matter.
When they quieted down, Yang Zhan smiled and said, "Don't worry about any conspiracy or trickery. The Nine Dragon Sword Emperor is seeking the hand of the Nine Yin girl. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Looking at the vast Wanxiang Sea, almost no one refuses, because any Nine Yin girl who agrees to the marriage proposal can marry into the Chang'an Fairy Palace and become one of the Chang'an Fairy Consorts. From then on, they can roam freely in the world and possess supreme power. At least in this Wanxiang Sea, there is basically no need to worry about safety."
"Is the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor so powerful?" Tong Xionghu couldn't help but ask.
Yang Zhan nodded without hesitation: "It's better than ever. I wonder if you guys understand the sea area we are in?"
Everyone in the Tong family thought about it and told what they knew.
"I just heard that the sea area we are in is called the Wanxiang Sea Area. I don't know how big it is, let alone how many people there are."
"I heard that in the vast Wanxiang Ocean, our Fengqi Island is like a drop in the ocean, it's nothing at all."
"There are many beings in the Wanxiang Sea that are superior to Grandmasters, and some are even more powerful."
……
After listening to what the Tong family said, Yang Zhan nodded, but then shook his head: "Only a small part of what you heard is true, and most of it is inaccurate."
"How big is the Wanxiang Sea? It can be said that Fengqi Island is like a grain of sand in the vast Wanxiang Sea. There are countless tribes in the vast Wanxiang Sea, and various islands are like stars in the sky. Not to mention the gods and demons that surpass the masters, the Xuanzuns that surpass the gods and demons, even the more powerful Dizuns and Tianzuns are numerous." "The entire Fengqi Island is nothing in the vast Wanxiang Sea. For those big figures in the Wanxiang Sea, they only need to blow a breath, and the entire Fengqi Island will be reduced to ashes, without any ability to fight back."
These simple words have outlined the entire Wanxiang Sea, causing everyone in the Tong family to gasp in disbelief.
"Is the Wanxiang Sea so huge? Is our Fengqi Island so small in front of it?"
"Hiss... The Wanxiang Sea is so huge, we are just sitting in a well and looking at the world."
"The Nine Dragon Sword Emperor must have a certain status in the Wanxiang Sea, so he can have so many people searching for the Nine Yin Girl for him."
……
Yang Zhan smiled and said, "Now that you know about the Wanxiang Sea, you should also know the origin of the Wanxiang Sea. Its name comes from a sect called the Wanxiang Sect. The name of the Wanxiang Sea is derived from the Wanxiang Sect."
“The fact that the entire sea area was named after its sect shows how powerful the Wanxiang Sect is. It is the undisputed overlord of this sea area, dominating this sea area for hundreds of thousands of years, suppressing the demon clan, the devil clan, the ghost clan, the monster clan… and many other clans, dominating the sea area of trillions of miles, and possessing incredible power and strength. There are countless gods and demons, mysterious masters, and earth masters in the sect. Even the Tianzun bosses standing at the top of the Wanxiang Sea area, there are more than a thousand.”
“And this Nine Dragon Sword Emperor is a big shot standing at the top of the Wanxiang Sect, and naturally a big shot standing at the top of the Wanxiang Sea. He can be called the number one evildoer in the Wanxiang Sea for tens of millions of years. At only about a hundred years old, he already possesses terrifying strength that can roam across the Wanxiang Sea. His Nine Yin Elephants and Chang'an Immortal Dynasty occupy countless industries and resources.”
"Ordinary islands like our Fengqi Island are hardly noticed by the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor, who doesn't even bother to occupy them. The resource-rich islands under his command number in the tens of thousands, which are simply impossible to count. A single order from him is enough to stir up a storm in the entire Wanxiang Sea."
……
At this point, seeing the unbelievable looks on the faces of the Tong family, Yang Zhan smiled and said, "This time, the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor's selection of a concubine is a rare event that only happens once in a million years. This lord did not ask other people to help, but countless families and forces in the entire Wanxiang Sea took the initiative to help the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor. The one who asked our Yang family to help search for the Nine Yin girl was just one of them. Now you know the status of the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor, right?"
Everyone in the Tong family was speechless. Even if they had imagined it, they had never expected that the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor's power and authority would reach this level.
No wonder everyone in the Yang family was so respectful after learning that Tong Liya had the Nine Yin Body. If Tong Liya could marry the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor as a concubine, with just one word, the entire Fengqi Island would be turned into powder, and the Yang family would have no power to resist.
It turns out that above the Grandmaster, there are gods and demons, Xuanzun, Dizun, and Tianzun... The Grandmaster, who is already extremely powerful in their eyes, is actually at the bottom of the path of cultivation.
Tong Xionghu looked at his daughter Tong Liya, who was also his most beloved youngest daughter. "Yaya, what do you think about this? Although this is a great fortune and opportunity for our Tong family, if you don't want to, your father won't force you."
"I..." Tong Liya is only sixteen years old this year. She is also very confused about this matter and doesn't know what to do.
But after all, she was still young. How could she be willing to marry a stranger she had never met? Moreover, she had no clear understanding of the power and authority that Lu Changjing possessed.
After hesitating for a while, he asked cautiously, "Master Yang, if I don't want to marry the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor, will there be any problems?"
"Not willing?" Yang Zhan was stunned. Looking at the naive girl, he smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it's possible. The Nine Dragon Sword Emperor is a powerful figure in the Wanxiang Sea. He has great power and a high status. Naturally, he won't do such things as forcibly marrying. Moreover, he recruited the Nine Yin girls as concubines. He treats them very well and is well-known in the Wanxiang Sea."
"But even so, I still advise you to think about it carefully, because even if Lord Jiulong Sword Emperor doesn't care, there are many forces and families who want to please Lord Jiulong Sword Emperor. If any of them has ill intentions and wants to use this matter to please Lord Jiulong Sword Emperor, I'm afraid the Tong family will be destroyed soon."
Everyone in the Tong family was shocked. Tong Xionghu frowned and said, "Are those people so excessive? They want to deal with our Tong family just because we don't want to marry the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor. Aren't they afraid that this will affect the reputation of the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor and cause him to teach them a lesson?"
“Even if Lord Nine Dragon Sword Emperor intervenes in this matter, no one knows what will happen to the Tong family by then.” Yang Zhan shook his head: “Lord Nine Dragon Sword Emperor has no relatives or friends with the Tong family, so he will naturally not protect the Tong family. The Tong family is too weak. Looking at the Wanxiang Sea, there are too many forces that can destroy the Tong family.”
"Unless the Tong family immediately moves away from Fengqi Island before the news spreads outside and finds an uninhabited island to settle down on, hiding it from the outside world, perhaps it will be safer."
Everyone in the Tong family looked troubled. This meant asking them to leave their homes and families, and the Wanxiang Sea was so dangerous. Who knew if they could find a suitable island next? What if they were killed by demons, monsters, and blood beasts on the way? That would be the end of them.
Some high-ranking members of the Tong family were also somewhat dissatisfied. This was clearly a great opportunity, but Tong Xionghu and Tong Liya seemed somewhat unwilling. Wasn't this forcing the Tong family to die?
Seeing Tong Xionghu, Tong Liya and others hesitate, Yang Zhan persuaded them: "Although the decision on this matter is up to you, if I had a daughter with the Nine Yin Body, I would definitely marry Lord Jiulong Sword Emperor without hesitation."
"Not only will this help my daughter become a phoenix, it will also bring great fortune to the entire Tong family. In the future, not to mention Fengqi Island, even in the vast Wanxiang Sea, we will have a certain amount of power and strength."
"Lord Nine Dragon Sword Emperor is quite generous. Apart from other things, the betrothal gift alone could buy hundreds of Fengqi Islands. The Tong family will become the dominant force in one fell swoop. This is a God-given opportunity. Moreover, Lord Nine Dragon Sword Emperor is also a good match. He is a well-known affectionate and loyal person. There are countless women in the Wanxiang Sea who want to marry him but cannot. This opportunity must not be missed."
"The Third Miss is still young and may not understand, but Patriarch Tong should be able to understand the truth."
……
After listening to Yang Zhan's earnest persuasion, Tong Xionghu became more hesitant, and Tong Liya also frowned and began to consider the pros and cons.
Is she really going to put the entire Tong family in danger because of her own selfishness?
She is not such a willful person. She has received cultivation and care from the elders of the Tong family over the years. How could she repay kindness with enmity?
Although he had never seen the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor, he could understand from Yang Zhan's words that he should be a good person and at least would not marry anyone by force, even if he needed a Nine Yin girl.
It’s just that there are too many people who want to curry favor with him, which brings danger to the Tong family. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so difficult.
Before Tong Xionghu could speak, Tong Liya said, "I am willing to marry Lord Jiulong Sword Emperor. Father, don't make it difficult. I was just asking to understand what kind of person Jiulong Sword Emperor is."
Tong Xionghu was stunned for a moment, then he understood what his daughter meant. He couldn't help but touch his daughter's head with an apologetic look on his face.
If he and the Tong family did not lack sufficient strength, how could they have fallen into such a predicament.
Even if the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor is a good person, this is the first time I've heard of him, and all I know about him is just from Yang Zhan. Who can be sure that what Yang Zhan said is correct?
It is always a bit cruel to suddenly ask a teenage girl to agree to marry someone she has never met.
Seeing that the Tong family had made a decision, Yang Zhan smiled and said, "Don't worry, you will not regret the decision you made today. The Nine Dragon Sword Emperor is famous and dotes on his wife. It is an honor for every woman to marry the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor. If he didn't look down on the people of our Yang family, I would marry all my daughters to the Nine Dragon Sword Emperor."
