Chapter 181 The Situation in the East County

Qin Ye asked puzzledly: "I can't understand what Miss said, how to join forces or seek refuge?" ”

Xiao Luoxue snorted lightly, her expression became cold, probably a little resentful of the unspoken rules in this.

"Hongyan has a thin life since ancient times, and women are always miserable!"

"In order to attract reinforcements at the Dongjun Martial Arts Conference, various sects would rather sacrifice the lifelong happiness of the female disciples of the sect and use the means of marriage to achieve the goal of clinging!"

"Therefore, there are a large number of young and beautiful female disciples in the delegations of each sect, and they may not be the core disciples of their respective sects, most of them are just to attract male cultivators from those major sects."

"Especially the sons and young masters of the eight major families, they are the key objects of their 'beauty plan'."

"Those shameless people think that if the female disciples in the sect can be lucky enough to be favored by a certain eldest or young man of the eight major families and successfully marry into the high-ranking lords, then one person will be able to ascend to heaven, and these small sects can establish a sect with peace of mind and rise to prominence."

"Even in the next ten years, it will be protected and supported by the big family!"

"So the Dongjun Martial Arts Conference also has an alias under the table, called 'Dongjun Marriage Conference', which is ridiculous!"

After listening to Xiao Luoxue's strong mocking words, Qin Ye wanted to understand the cause and effect.

"Miss, I still have a puzzle, that is, why do the eight major families want to host the Dongjun Martial Arts Conference, and what benefits does it do to them?"

Xiao Luoxue said eloquently: "This has nothing to do with benefits, it has to do with power!" ”

"Since the founding of the Sima Empire, it has a history of more than 1,300 years, and it is a country that admires imperial power."

"The empire is governed by five regions: East County, South County, West County, North County and Imperial Capital, under the rule of the royal Sima family."

"The Bai family of Dongjun City was appointed by the royal family as the governor of Dongjun three hundred years ago, and Bai Hao, the king of Dongjun, is the younger brother of the current imperial concubine Niangniang of the empire."

"As the governor of Dongjun, the Bai family has the right to distribute the resources within the Dongjun and collect taxes from all the sects in the Dongjun, on the one hand, to hand over to the royal family, and on the other hand, to save their own money."

"So, in order to dominate the entire Dongjun, the Bai family relied on the support of the royal family while doing everything possible to cultivate their own power, and gradually became the Bai family, which is now strong."

"But even so, with the strength of the Bai family alone, it is still difficult to unify the vast Eastern County."

"From time to time, there will be a certain city that is not subject to management, or a certain sect with a deep background will disdain the status of the Bai family's ruler."

"Especially the resources that have been seized by the various sects, they will never be handed over, and at most some symbolic taxes will be paid to block the mouth of the Bai family."

"Later, in order to solve the chaotic situation in Dongjun, the king of Dongjun decided to unite with several other major families in Dongjun City to jointly maintain the authority and stability of Dongjun."

"They agreed that they would be paid for the taxes collected, except for the part that was handed over to the royal family, and the remaining Bai family would take three of them, and each of the others would take one, so it was later called the 'Eight Great Families' of Dongjun City."

"After that, if any city or sect does not pay taxes on time and in quantity, the eight great families will unite and wipe it out with thunder, thus establishing a strong authority!"

Hearing this, Qin Ye sighed.

Prior to this, he had devoted himself to cultivation and did not know much about the management of his family and sect.

Now after listening to Xiao Luoxue's explanation, I suddenly have a new understanding of these.

"So what Miss means is that the Eight Great Families host the Dongjun Martial Arts Conference every ten years, not only to provide a platform for cultivators in the world to exchange and learn, but also to show the authority and strength of the Eight Great Families by holding this grand event, so as to achieve the purpose of deterring other sects!"

Xiao Luoxue nodded with a smile, indicating that this was exactly the case.

Qin Ye muttered: "With the background and strength of the eight great families, if they are united, it is true that there is no sect in the entire Eastern County that can match it. ”

"But since I came to Dongjun City, I feel that the eight major families do not seem to be in the same spirit, and even the hostility between them is gradually becoming apparent, why is this?"

Xiao Luoxue sighed and nodded, "Yes, your observation is not wrong. There are no lasting friendships, only eternal interests! ”

"With the prestige established by the eight major families over the years, they have suppressed the various cities and sects of the East County."

"At this time, there are no external troubles, and internal worries gradually arise."

"Some of the big clans and factions that have slowly developed are interested in the huge cultivation resources obtained by the eight major families, so they want to replace the other seven major families except the Bai family."

"In the past three hundred years, only the three major families of the original eight families, the Bai family, the Xiao family, and the Han family, have been prosperous for a long time, and the other five families have already been updated several times!"

"The other five major families now have only risen in recent decades, replacing the previous families and becoming one of the eight major families today."

"In the same way, those big clans and factions whose power is second only to the eight major families, they are always staring at us, as long as any one is slightly weaker and has an opportunity, they will definitely wait for the opportunity to launch an attack, and replace it ruthlessly with lightning speed."

"So in such an environment, how can the eight major families be monolithic?"

"What's more, the Bai family would never want to see a few families form an alliance to threaten their dominance."

"For the Bai family, they only need the eight major families to suppress the sects that do not submit to their jurisdiction when necessary. It doesn't matter who replaces whom, and who obliterates whom! ”

Qin Ye had mixed feelings and said: "Fighting is always the main theme of the rivers and lakes, no matter how high the status and how powerful it is, you can't escape this iron law!" ”

"If you want not to be replaced by others, you can only maintain upward momentum and stand in a position that is difficult for others to reach."

"Miss, you told me so much about the Dongjun Martial Arts Conference, do you want me to attend?"

Xiao Luoxue chuckled: "Yes, I saw that you didn't come out of the furnace room, so I wanted to tell you the news, and I hope you will go and see it." ”

"After all, this is a rare opportunity to communicate with cultivators from different sects and different realms!"

Qin Ye knew that Xiao Luoxue cared about him, so he readily agreed: "I'll listen to Miss." When does it start? I can't wait! ”

Seeing his anxious look, Xiao Luoxue couldn't help but say, "The event will start in a month and will last for two months!" ”

Qin Ye was surprised: "Two months!" It seems that this conference is unprecedentedly grand! What are the specific arrangements? ”
