“That’s right. Patriarch Zhang, you’re strong, but you were also nurtured by the Zhang Family. You enjoy all the resources of the Zhang Family. If you say that now, wouldn’t you be cursing your mother?” another senior stood out and berated.
The head of the Zhang Family revealed a mocking smile. His cultivation was nurtured by the Zhang Family?
From the beginning to the end, he was not one of those children raised by the Zhang family.
Looking at the Emperor Clan descendants who were stomping their feet, the head of the Zhang family was very calm. He did not take them seriously at all.
“You’ve ruined the Celestial Court. Don’t even think about leaving now,” the head of the Zhang Family stood up with his hands behind his back and said coldly.
“Patriarch Zhang, what do you mean by this?”
“Patriarch Zhang, we are all descendants of the Emperor Clan. Why are you doing this?”
“Patriarch Zhang, you are now the strongest Emperor Clan descendant. You should set an example and lead us to rise again. You shouldn’t be making sarcastic remarks here.”
The elders of the Emperor Clan berated the Zhang Family head fiercely. They felt that the Zhang Family head shouldn’t criticize the Emperor Clan’s actions at such a critical moment.
The head of the Zhang family looked at their anxious and angry expressions. There was a hint of joy on his tired face.
“Why didn’t you think that such a day could come when you destroyed the Celestial Court? Now that something has happened to the Celestial Court, we who have enjoyed the greatest benefits have the original sin that is hard to wash away. No one in the Celestial Court can escape. We will all die together with the Celestial Court.”
The Zhang Family head continued, “Don’t even try plundering the Court. I’ve sealed all the treasures and resources of the Emperor Clan descendants and sent them into the Path of Space so they go to the right people. Don’t even think about using those resources in exchange for your survival. It’s you both who ruined the Celestial Court to this extent. You should be buried together with the Celestial Court.” The head of the Zhang Family completely shed all pretence of cordiality. He coldly clasped his hands behind his back.
The head of the Zhang Family had always been trying to change the Celestial Court, but the power of the descendants of the Emperor Clan was too great. He had to become the head of the Zhang Family to influence some changes.
However, by the time he had accumulated enough strength and was ready to take care of the Celestial Court, it was already too late.
The situation had deteriorated to this point, and even if he was ambitious, the Zhang Family head could not reverse the situation.
In the past two months, he had been fighting everywhere, unleashing his full strength and killing quite a few Crimson Immortals. He had made great contributions and was known as the number one person below the Emperor cultivation plane.
That was a great honor, but it did not make the head of the Zhang Family happy. After all, he realized that the goal he had worked so hard for for half his life had already collapsed.
The goal of the head of the Zhang Family was to reform the Celestial Court. For that reason, he didn’t hesitate to enter the abyss and join the people in front of him. He decided to sacrifice himself.
But now, the Celestial Court was going to be destroyed.
The Zhang Family head’s goal was practically unattainable, and he became more and more silent.
Even though he tried his best to salvage the situation, it was not enough. The Zhang Family head was so disheartened that when he saw that the group of Emperor Clan descendants guilty of landing the Court in such a predicament were about to escape, the Zhang Family’s head immediately counterattacked and used the power of the Path of Space to send away the treasures they were prepared to hand over in exchange for their lives.
He had sent it to the Celestial Court Academy where Li Qingshan was.
At the moment, the head of the Zhang Family remembered what Li Qingshan had said. Instead of trying his best to change the Celestial Court, it was better to work hard to improve himself and break through to the Emperor cultivation plane from the Immortal King cultivation plane.
“It’s a pity that it’s still too difficult for me to break through to the Emperor cultivation plane from the Immortal King cultivation plane. I’ve packed all the resources of the Celestial Court and sent them to the Celestial Court Academy. I hope you’ll manage to build a new Celestial Court. That would also be a pretty good outcome,” the head of the Zhang Family muttered in his heart.
However, after he said his piece, the others exploded.
“What did you say?”
“What right do you have to pack up all the treasures of the Celestial Court and send them away?”
“Patriarch Zhang, you are a mere head of the Zhang Family. You are not the Patriarch of the Emperor Clan. What right do you have to make such a decision?”
“You want us to be buried with the Celestial Court? What right do you have?”
“This is ridiculous. Listen, hurry up and get those treasures back. Otherwise, we will remove you from your position as the family head now.”
The group of old and young people were filled with righteous indignation and were extremely angry. They all criticized the Zhang Family’s head.
“Sure,” the Zhang Family head sneered. “Please feel free to remove me from my position. The Celestial Court is about to be destroyed. The descendants of the Emperor Clan, a clan that rose because of the Celestial Court, should also be swept into the dust of history.”
The Zhang Family head continued, “As for whether I have the right or not, well, nothing will change with just your words. It’s a different story if you have the ability to stop me.” The head of the Zhang Family looked around with a cold gaze. He had his hands behind his back and emanated a powerful aura.
No one present could withstand his strength.
To the head of the Zhang Family, the goal he had worked so hard for for half his life had been ruined, so he would disappear along with this goal.
“Patriarch Zhang, there’s not much time left. If we don’t hand over the treasures today, they will definitely attack. You won’t be able to stop them alone. There’s no need for you to be angry because of us weaklings. The most important thing now is for everyone to survive,” someone loosened up and patiently persuaded the Zhang Family’s head.
However, the head of the Zhang Family had a cold expression on his face. He closed his eyes and did not say a word.
When the others saw the scene, they were anxious, angry, and helpless.
