The strength of the Zhang Family’s head was too powerful and terrifying. Even if they attacked together, they could not change anything.
“Why are you so stubborn? Why do you want us to die with the Celestial Court?” an old man slammed his walking stick on the ground, making banging sounds as he questioned angrily.
The head of the Zhang Family opened his eyes and looked at the Emperor Clan descendants. Under their angry, puzzled, and resentful gazes, he slowly said, “I’m doing this for a reason. Your ancestors, your fathers, and you, no more than a few generations in total, messed up the Celestial Court and turned it into your private property. It’s understandable that you used your power to benefit your family. However, you’ve gone too far and directly destroyed the foundation of the Celestial Court. It can be said that the Celestial Court’s tribulation today was created by you. You want to leave now? No way.”
The head of the Zhang Family coldly continued, “Now, I’ll say this. Everyone here today and everyone related to the descendants of the Emperor Clan in this Celestial Court will not be able to escape. All of you must apologize to the Celestial Court that was once impartial.”
“You make yourself sound so dignified and righteous. Aren’t you from the Emperor Clan? What’s the difference between you and us?” some people were blinded by anger and loudly refuted the head of the Zhang Family.
“Did I say that I would leave?” The head of the Zhang Family looked at him coldly.
“Don’t worry. The Celestial Court was destroyed by the descendants of the Emperor Clan. You and I both carry the original sin. We can’t leave this place. If the Celestial Court is destroyed, we will be buried under the ruins. No matter how much power, glory, and benefits you have received before, you will have to bear the price of the collapse of the Celestial Court now,” the head of the Zhang Family said bluntly.
The group of people was shocked by the words of the Zhang Family’s head and could not believe it.
The head of the Zhang Family was the last person they could rely on.
The descendants of the Emperor Clan had suffered great losses in the process of the world’s crusade against the Immortals. Countless Crimson Immortals had fallen, and only the head of the Zhang Family was left.
Originally, they had viewed the Zhang Family head as an important pillar of support for the rise of the Emperor Clan descendants. He was their spiritual leader and the guarantee of their survival.
Who knew that at the most critical moment, the Zhang Family’s patriarch would actually backstab them?
The group of people was furious.
If it wasn’t for the fact that they couldn’t defeat the Zhang Family’s patriarch, they would probably have already torn the Zhang Family’s patriarch, who had his back facing them, into pieces.
“You lunatic, if you want to die, why drag us along?” Some people couldn’t accept the reality and cursed the head of the Zhang Family.
The head of the Zhang Family turned a deaf ear to that and stared outside.
Above nine heavens of the Celestial Court, there were floating islands. The largest island was where all the descendants of the Emperor Clan gathered.
The Emperor Clan descendants thought that they had obtained hope, but now, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. They wanted to escape and find a way to survive, but they discovered that the surroundings of the island had been sealed by the Zhang Family head.
No one could escape.
Just like what the Zhang Family Head had said, if the Celestial Court was destroyed, the descendants of the Emperor Clan would be destroyed as well.
In the outside world, countless experts were watching the floating island from all directions.
In the nine heavens, all the members of the Celestial Court had fled.
The current nine heavens was an empty shell, and no one cared.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the floating island.
The head of the Zhang Family was wearing a long black coat, his hands behind his back. He looked at the enemies in all directions with a calm face. He had already accepted the fact that the Celestial Court was destroyed.
However, it was that calmness that deterred the attacking enemies.
No one was willing to engage in a life-and-death struggle with the Zhang Family head who was like a trapped beast.
Therefore, at the moment, the sky and the ground were surrounded by enemies, sealing off everything around them. No one could leave.
The experts of the God Realm, Demon Realm, and Hell were all coldly staring at the Zhang Family’s patriarch.
“Surrender. The end has been decided. The Ancient Celestial Court and the new Celestial Court that have ruled the Immortal Plane for millions of years have come to an end. It’s time to end it.” A person from the God Realm coldly spoke.
“Patriarch Zhang, you are very powerful, but you can’t save the Celestial Court or the descendants of the Emperor Clan. Why don’t you join the Demon Realm? The Demon Realm is a place that contains all kinds of creatures. Regardless of the race, we only care about strength and not background.” A Crimson Immortal from the Demon Realm was very optimistic about the Zhang Family’s patriarch and sent out an invitation.
“Patriarch Zhang, a wise man knows how to adapt to circumstances. The Emperor Clan descendants said that they would give us treasures in exchange for a way out. Where are the treasures?” an expert from the Demon Realm snorted coldly and questioned.
The head of the Zhang Family, who was facing his enemies from all directions, said calmly, “The Celestial Court has declined to this point, causing countless experts to be alienated. The descendants of the Emperor Clan have contributed a lot. Today, they will be buried in the dust of history together with the Celestial Court. There will be no treasures left.”
As soon as he said that, everyone from the Demon Realm frowned.
The vast majority of what the Celestial Court had accumulated over the years had gone into the hands of the descendants of the Emperor Clan. It was an enormous amount that even the Crimson Immortals and Emperors were tempted by.
Originally, the experts of the Demon Realm had already negotiated with the other Emperor Clan descendants to hand over the treasures they had obtained over the years in exchange for their lives.
Who would have thought that the Zhang Family’s patriarch would suddenly appear and deliver all the treasures to the Celestial Court Academy, cutting off the path of retreat for the Emperor Clan descendants?
The other Emperor Clan descendants pounded their chests and stomped their feet. They wanted to go forward and explain, wanting to accuse the Zhang Family head of his crimes.
