Chapter 1168: Things have changed in Xuanmen!
"Alliance leader should make plans early."
Zhai Chang looked at the Zhai family members who were kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, "Follow the God Clan, or... throw away all your cultivation. Xuanmen now has only these two choices."
He sighed softly.
The Zhai family immediately said, "Since our Zhai family inherited the Shinto tradition, we have been slaying demons and upholding justice. Are we going to give it up?"
Zhai Chang said nothing.
Zhai Rou was incredulous. "Is the Patriarch planning to betray the human race and stand on the side of the God Race?"
The Zhai family immediately looked at Zhai Rou, "The human race has respected the gods for thousands of years. What's wrong with that? The gods have quelled wars, saved the people, and rebuilt the world countless times."
"How can the human race be so ungrateful!"
He glared at Zhai Rou angrily.
Zhai Rou became even angrier. "Is it good to be controlled from birth to death? Why did the war start? Why did the people suffer? Why did the world go haywire? Don't you know?"
"How many times has one act of disrespect for the gods caused chaos in the world? Is this good?"
The Zhai family snorted coldly, "Human life is the highest, and the emperor's destiny is granted by heaven. This is the right way."
"Now, you are against the heavens, and that is courting death."
"If you want to die, don't drag us along with you."
He looked at Zhai Chang, "Master, please make the decision."
"Master, please make the decision."
The others all shouted in unison.
Zhai Rou also stared at Zhai Chang, "Master..."
Zhai Chang raised his hand to interrupt Zhai Rou's words, "I know what's going on."
Zhai Rou felt hopeless.
She looked at Chu Luo in pain.
Zhai Chang supported his weak body and stood up unsteadily, "Let's go to the ancestral hall!"
The Zhai family followed him excitedly.
Zhai Rou lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I knew it a long time ago, didn't I? If Xuanmen could be saved, it wouldn't have fallen to this point."
Chu Luo patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be too pessimistic. Aren't you also a Xuanmen cultivator? Isn't Ji Zai also a Xuanmen cultivator? Isn't Yuan Shaoyin also a Xuanmen cultivator?"
"But……"
"Go and see."
Chu Luo took Zhai Rou to the outside of the Zhai family ancestral hall.
A portrait of the ancestor of the Zhai family is hung above the Zhai family ancestral hall. He has an immortal look and kind eyes. When he lowers his eyes, it seems that he is pitying all living things.
The portrait was hung high in the ancestral hall at this moment, exuding an inexplicable majesty.
All members of the Zhai family followed Zhai Chang into the ancestral hall.
As soon as they entered, they all knelt on the ground in an orderly manner.
Zhai Chang burned incense and kowtowed with utmost piety.
He knelt on the mat and looked up at the statue.
"Homeowner!"
The Zhai family members behind him urged them.
Zhai Chang looked down at his palm and said, "With all my cultivation, I can neither slay demons nor uphold justice, nor can I protect the teacher's way. It's better... I might as well disperse it."
"Homeowner!"
The Zhai family looked at Zhai Chang in shock.
Zhai Rou outside the door also widened her eyes.
Zhai Chang kowtowed to the statue and said, "I, Zhai Chang, voluntarily give up the inheritance of the God Clan. Please grant me your permission, Master!"
He slowly raised his head and looked directly at the hanging portrait.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up inside the ancestral hall, blowing the hanging portraits into the air. The candles placed around also swayed rapidly in the wind.
Under the portrait, the incense that Zhai Chang had just inserted was burning rapidly.
Until the incense faded away and the wind died down, the flying portrait fell down with a bang, and the scroll under the portrait fell heavily on the wooden board.
A thud.
Zhai Chang, who was lying on the ground, suddenly let out a shrill scream.
He fell to the ground, roaring, twisting and struggling in pain.
His eyes widened and blood oozed out of his eyes.
"Homeowner!"
The Zhai family members all looked at this scene in fear, but no one dared to move.
Until Zhai Chang's voice of pain became weaker and weaker, and his originally young face aged in an instant.
Zhai Rou wanted to rush in from outside, but the moment she stepped over the threshold, she was pushed back by a powerful force.
"Homeowner!"
She was shouting outside.
He grabbed Chu Luo's hand tightly again, "Alliance leader, what should we do? What about the head of the family?"
Chu Luo looked at Zhai Chang in the ancestral hall and said, "This is a contract between Xuanmen and the gods. I can't do anything about it."
In order to practice faster, Xuanmen worshipped the gods as their teachers and inherited their legacy.
Now that Xuanmen wants to get rid of the gods, the gods will naturally have to take back the shortcut they originally gave them.
Finally, the last bit of spiritual power in Zhai Chang completely dissipated.
His hair turned gray in an instant, and his skin and flesh became old in an instant.
"Homeowner!"
Zhai Rou rushed into the ancestral hall at this time and helped Zhai Chang who had fallen to the ground, "Master, how are you?"
Zhai Chang looked up at his wrinkled hands and said, "I thought my spiritual power had dissipated. At my age, I would die on the spot. I didn't expect..."
Zhai Rou shed tears of blood, and the rest of the Zhai family members all gathered around Zhai Chang.
"Master, why on earth are you doing this?"
Zhai Chang leaned on Zhai Rou, his old eyes not seeing things clearly, "Xuanmen was founded for the human race. I can't let my spiritual power become a knife to betray the human race."
Zhai Rou cried even more sadly.
Zhai Chang's voice became weaker and weaker, "League leader, leader..."
Zhai Chang suddenly shouted loudly.
Chu Luo: "I'm here."
Zhai Chang stretched out his hand, and Chu Luo held the old hand.
Zhai Chang held it tightly, "Human race... Human race, do you still have a future? Do you still have a future?"
"Is there any chance to redeem the wrong things Xuanmen did tens of millions of years ago?"
"Can the fate of the human race be controlled in our own hands?"
"Alliance leader, can you?"
He opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Chu Luo intently, wanting to get a positive answer from Chu Luo.
Chu Luo: "I will do my best."
Hearing this, Zhai Chang smiled.
He pulled the corner of his mouth, "That's good, that's good! I feel relieved!"
His breathing gradually stopped.
There was a gentle and satisfied smile on his face.
Zhai Rou lay on Zhai Chang's body and cried sadly.
Chu Luo placed Zhai Chang's hand on him and looked at Zhai Chang's soul beside him.
Zhai Chang looked down at his body and said, "I never thought I would die so early!"
Zhai Rou and the Zhai family all looked at his soul.
"Why are you crying? I'm a ghost now, and a ghost that has lost all my skills."
"From now on, you can only rely on yourselves."
He looked at the Zhai family and said, "This is my choice. It has nothing to do with you. You make your own choice."
He turned and looked out the door.
The ghost has arrived.
"I'm leaving!"
"The rest is up to you."
The ghost came forward and took him to the underworld.
Zhai Rou looked down at the old body of Zhai Chang in her arms, then looked up at Chu Luo, "Alliance Master, there will no longer be a Zhai family from the Seventy-two Immortal Sects in this world."
She clearly dislikes the Zhai family.
Don't like Zhai Chang.
but……
But now, watching Zhai Chang die and the Zhai family about to be destroyed, she is still very sad.
Chu Luo looked at the sky outside.
The situation in Xuanmen has changed!
