Chapter 990 Bragging
With his weapon broken by Zen, Emanuel's eyes flashed pleadingly as he continued, "Zen, I am an elder of Cloud Hall. Even I've committed a crime of rebellion, it shall be Letitia who will decide my fate. I… I surrender! You can't kill me!"
His words made Zen hesitate.
Strictly speaking, what he said was true—Emanuel was the backbone among the elders of the Cloud Hall, making his status and position both higher than those of Zen. In fact, Zen was merely a disciple of the Cloud Hall without any promotions.
As long as Zen didn't kill him, Emanuel understood that he could use the influence of the Zhuo Clan to have Letitia spare his life at the very least. As long as he didn't die right there, he would have a chance at a comeback sooner or later. Who knew what the future held?
Many people in Cloud Hall were standing by the windows or at the corners of the buildings, watching the scene unfold in the air above Cloud Hall.
In this rebellion, the majority of the Cloud Hall disciples had chosen to stay neutral. After all, it was a matter of internal strife among the senior leaders and had little to do with the common warriors of the Cloud Hall's lower ranks.
"Oh my god… Zen is back! He's chasing after Master Zhuo with bare hands!"
"This kid is a real freak. After disappearing for two years, he's back and he's fighting against Master Zhuo!"
"Are you guys blind? Master Zhuo can barely strike. This isn't a fight… he's completely crushing him. Don't you understand?"
To most of the people within Cloud Hall, it didn't matter who took control of the place. At this moment, all they cared about was watching a good show.
Some of the younger generation from the influential clans weren't in a good mood, particularly those from the Zhuo Clan. When they saw how Emanuel was being pushed back relentlessly by Zen, their expressions grew grimmer. Their cultivation levels were too low—they weren't strong enough to participate in the fight.
Standing in the Elite House was Frank who had been staring blankly at how Zen chased away his father and how he forced him to beg for mercy. Frank's face darkened as a rainstorm inside him loomed.
As his heart grew heavy, he glared at Zen, his heart filled with complicated thoughts.
Back in the Cloud Road test, he was nothing short of arrogant.
Back then, he appeared as though nobody in the world would succeed except him. Among the disciples of the younger generation, who could measure up to him? Frank had never had to take Zen seriously.
However, in only two years' time, Zen had grown into a figure that even his father would find difficult to deal with. Meanwhile, Frank was still stuck at the ultimate level of the Illuminating Soul Realm, unable to ma
like a kite that had lost its string, falling limp to the ground.
A heart-wrenching scream came from below, "Father!" Watching the scene was Frank, wide-eyed and distraught.
But Zen only glanced at Frank indifferently before flying towards the Ice Palace, leaving everyone in Cloud Hall stunned in shock.
But the shock wasn't because Zen had killed Emanuel, instead, it was because of his last sentence—Letitia was his woman?
They didn't know whether or not his words were true, but if he dared to say it in front of such a large audience, then perhaps it was true.
Words failed to describe how they felt. Letitia was someone with a pristine reputation, not only in Cloud Hall, but in the entire Central Region. The woman was flawlessly beautiful and had incomparable talent and status to match. These things made her the perfect woman and a noble, superior leader in their hearts. How could she have suddenly become Zen's woman?
It was unbelievable.
Just then, Zen heard Lavender from behind him, "Hey, since when did Letitia become your woman?"
With a slight smile, he answered, "I was bragging."
The Ice Palace was situated at the highest point of the Cloud Hall. Although many of the elders at the Internal Elixir Realm hadn't left the place, they had already seen the outcome of the battle—Emanuel was cleanly defeated by Zen. The elders who had been part of the rebelling force completely gave up resisting.
The rebellious elders who were at the Virtual Tribulation Realm were weaker than Emanuel so if they were to resist, they would be courting death just as Emanuel did. All they could do was surrender obediently and wait for the Cloud Hall's punishment. Having the support of several big clans behind them, it was unlikely that they would be killed. Still, they couldn't escape punishment.
