Chapter 717 Another Unexpected Turn of Events
Zhang Xuyang followed behind his father. After walking for a while, the Zhang family patriarch saw that Zhang Xuzhe was still standing there, seemingly lost in thought, so he said, "Eldest brother, come on over."

Zhang Xuzhe was stunned for a moment. He had never expected that his father would still think of him after his younger brother had been confirmed to have received the Houhuang inheritance. He followed along with some doubt.

Seeing the puzzled look on his eldest son's face, the Zhang family patriarch was furious.
"Over the years, I have had my own considerations. You two brothers have had to address each other as ruler and subject, but now that you have both become subjects of the Dragon-Phoenix Emperor, there is no need to worry about so much."

Zhang's second master, in pursuit of the title of the strongest bloodline in the Zhang family, did not hesitate to collude with the demons to kidnap Zhang Xuzhe. Unfortunately, he misjudged the person. Zhang Xuzhe, who had shown extraordinary talent since childhood, was merely a member of the Zhang family with decent talent. The real strongest bloodline of this generation of the Zhang family was Zhang Xuyang, who never showed off and was somewhat aloof.

However, it was precisely because of this that Zhang Xuzhe was kidnapped and, even though he was rescued by his father, his temperament changed drastically.

However, the Zhang family patriarch did not have much energy to devote to his eldest son. He also had to work hard and plan for the Zhang family and the remaining beings in the Three Emperors Plane. He also had to take charge of the battle against the evil thoughts from another world.

Compared to the other direct descendants of the Zhang family who had many offspring, the head of the Zhang family and his wife were not people who were obsessed with desires, nor could they be said to have any feelings for each other. They simply got married hastily at the request of the elders in the clan, fulfilled their duties, and gave birth to twins.

Madam Zhang left the world immediately after giving birth, taking her sword and heading to the Demon Realm of the Three Sovereigns Plane. She never returned.

The head of the Zhang family could hardly remember his wife's voice and smile, and he thought so too.

People say that this couple is a rare pair of devoted lovers among the many philanderers in the Zhang family, remaining chaste for each other throughout their lives. But the head of the Zhang family understands that they are simply more aware of their own future and purpose.

Compared to the rise and fall of families, the stability of the world, the joys and sorrows of men and women, and the marriages of offspring, they are ultimately just fleeting memories.

But that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be moved as he watched his two children, who couldn’t even speak yet, grow up.

He still remembers when the two children learned to call him "Dad," each of them would grab onto one of his legs and call him "Dad." At that time, he also felt the joy of being a father.

Later, when the two children got a little older and became more sensible, they saw that other children had both fathers and mothers, and they would pester him for his mother.

The Zhang family patriarch didn't know how to explain to such a young child that their mother, with only a few trusted confidants, had stormed into the Demon Abyss of the Three Emperors' Plane, a place feared by the world.

Before he could find an explanation, he learned that his youngest son was the current leader of the Celestial Masters sect, in other words, the strongest bloodline of the Zhang family.

The strongest bloodline that will eventually degenerate into a monster over thousands of years.

The elders in the family were worried that this matter would be leaked, and they also hoped to use up all of Zhang Xuyang's Houhuang will before he fell into depravity. Therefore, they asked Zhang Xuzhe to become Zhang Xuyang's substitute puppet.

After hearing this proposal, the head of the Zhang family sat in the ancestral hall all night, and when he came out, he agreed.

He didn't know what his wife would think if she were still alive, but this was the best choice for the Zhang family and for the Three Emperors Plane.

For the sake of his family and his world, he was willing to sacrifice himself, and sacrificing his two children was no big deal.

The head of the Zhang family hardened his heart and refused to allow the two children to call him father.

But today, after unloading all this burden onto the Dragon-Phoenix Emperor whom he had only met a few times, the Zhang family patriarch couldn't bring himself to do it.

"I have fought too many evil thoughts from other worlds before, and this body is already broken and damaged. But at least my cultivation and treasures are still among the best in the world. Xuyang, I will pass on my cultivation to you. As the Hou Emperor, you are qualified to accept it. Eldest brother, you are the older brother. Remember to protect your younger brother. I entrust my immortal artifacts to you."

……

Meanwhile, on the battlefield a kilometer away from the Northern Alliance, smoke billowed, and magical arrays and sword energies erupted simultaneously, painting the horizon with a magnificent spectacle. Tian Dao Cong's slender sword pierced the body of the otherworldly evil leader before him, but at the same time, his hand was also shredded by the opponent.

The divine seal between her brows shone brightly, and her lower body radiated light. Her long legs instantly lengthened and thinned, transforming into a purple snake tail, which she lashed out at the face of the leader of the evil thoughts from another world, using the force to escape close combat with him.

The leader of this otherworldly evil thought was different from the otherworldly evil thought leaders she had seen in other planes.

Just as Lin Zhao had previously expressed her concerns.

The furnace is powerless against these leaders of otherworldly evil thoughts. Even if they are defeated and thrown into the furnace, the ordinary otherworldly evil thoughts that would be refined by the furnace will only become their nourishment.

Previously, she and Tian Daojin had captured a leader that had been lying dormant inside the furnace. It broke out of the furnace and devoured all living beings within a hundred miles of the base, achieving the cultivation of a Great Perfection Immortal. If she and Tian Daojin hadn't joined forces to temporarily suppress it, the Northern Alliance's newly established base would probably have been destroyed.

"The Three Sovereigns' Plane has been useless for tens of millions of years." The leader looked at Tian Dao Cong's snake tail with sarcasm: "You inherited the throne of Nuwa, and I was looking forward to seeing what kind of trouble the Three Sovereigns' Plane could cause after the three sovereigns gathered. But it turns out that as long as there is no Dragon-Phoenix Emperor, you are still just ants that are easy to defeat."

Tian Dao Cong ignored his words. With her current cultivation level, which was close to that of an immortal, she was already exhausted from being able to entangle with this guy for so long while working together with her brother.

But she understood that at this moment, the strongest beings in the Three Emperors' Plane were her and her brother, or rather, herself.

She cannot, and should not, place all the burdens on Lin Zhao's shoulders.

Those who cultivate themselves should seek the Way, question their own hearts and the heavens, and strive for self-improvement.

The slender sword in his hand stirred up sand and dust, and the Heavenly Dao Cong snake tail transformed back into straight legs. He stroked the slender sword, and immortal energy surged forth.

"Heaven and earth possess righteous energy, which manifests in various forms. Below, it becomes rivers and mountains; above, it becomes the sun and stars. In man, it is called the vast and righteous spirit, which fills the boundless ocean."

The white light emanated from the Heavenly Dao Cong and spread outwards. The light was not dazzling, but it was continuous and surged in all directions.

The leader of the otherworldly evil forces formed swords and halberds with his hands and uttered incantations, causing the sky to darken instantly.

The power of the celestial immortals to control heaven and earth far surpasses that of the true immortals.

"You want to draw upon the righteous energy of the Three Sovereigns? You little brat, do you think that just because you inherited the power of Nuwa, you are Nuwa herself? How utterly laughable."

The leader of the otherworldly evil thoughts glanced down at the Northern Alliance creatures watching the battle below, and greedily licked his lips: "If I eat them, I should be able to reach Luo Jinxian."

He uttered his last incantation, and the entire world sank completely, with the earth shaking and mountains trembling in the blink of an eye.

"You've been so good at hiding all these years, haven't you? Then live underground for the rest of your lives!"

The light of the blades and halberds rushed towards the Heavenly Dao Cong, which was emitting a cloud-white light to resist him. Along with the intense wind and the otherworldly evil thoughts that coveted the Heavenly Dao Cong's physical body and power, they pressed down on the Heavenly Dao Cong.

"Sealing off the heavens and locking the earth."

The leader of the otherworldly evil thoughts looked with satisfaction at the world and the Heavenly Dao Cong that were shrouded by his evil technique.

"Come, hand over your Three Sovereigns' Will, and I will ensure your soul is immortal."
