Chapter 378: Harsh Scolding

The battle between Emperors was world-shaking to witness . Countless energy explosions erupted all over the sky, and numerous energies rained down like meteors, turning many buildings and objects below into dust .

If it wasn't for the formation protecting Dong City, the entire city would have been reduced to rubble by now . There were enough Emperors here to easily destroy a city . The people from the Dong Clan had never experienced such a crisis .

They all watched on anxiously, worried that their defenses would fall . However, they were completely helpless to stop the army of Emperors . Initially, the Dong Clan was able to put up a decent fight, but the opposing two clans' reinforcements had beaten them terribly .

The reinforcements consisted of only five Emperors, but each of them was a late-stage Emperor . One was at the ninth stage, one at the eighth stage, and the last at the seventh stage .

Even among tier-5 organizations, late-stage Emperors were rare . With the sudden inclusion of five of them, the tides of battle changed greatly . Although a ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert from the Dong Clan had subsequently rushed back to join the battle, things were still looking bleak for them .

The ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert who had joined the battle late cried out in alarm, "You are members of the Illusionary Palm Society . Are you colluding with the traitors?"

This expert was from the same generation of their ancestor . His name was Dong Zhongyuan, and he had been traveling the lands all this while . He had recently been summoned by the clan and had thus returned .

"You only know this now? It's too late . Today, the Dong Clan shall cease to exist," said an old man from the Illusionary Palm Society with a sneer .

This old man was a ninth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert . His name was Zhong Xuduo, a cultivator with an impressive mastery over the Illusionary Palm . He attacked, sending a rain of palms toward Dong Zhongyuan . The palms seemed to be everywhere and looked near impossible to defend against .

Dong Zhongyuan was forced to use all his power to deal with the attack and was completely incapable of helping the others from his clan . As for Dong Qinggu, he was currently under attack by a group of top Emperors from the opposing two clans, his broken sovereign weapon no longer granting him as much superiority over his powerful opponents . Their final hope was the sovereign weapon in Dong Zhuoyue's hand .  

Dong Zhuoyue was a fourth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivator . Equipped with a proper sovereign weapon, he was able to force Tai Changhe and Xing Liefeng to retreat repeatedly . He had even killed two early Emperor Realm experts from the opposing clans .

"Come at me, traitors! I will slaughter all of you!" The longer Dong Zhuoyue fought, the madder he became . With a sovereign weapon, he was able to unleash a combat prowess comparable to a peak fifth-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert . Only late-stage Dragon Ascension Realm cultivators could face him currently .

At this time, a seventh-stage Dragon Ascension Realm expert from the Illusionary Palm Society flew over and yelled, "Step aside . I'll deal with him . "

The sovereign weapon Dong Zhuoyue was using had caught his eyes . If he could snatch the weapon for the Illusionary Palm Society, it would be considered an accomplishment of great merit .

However, the people from the Dong Clan were no idiots . There were constantly other Dragon Ascension Realm experts around Dong Zhuoyue to back him up . They would not allow anyone to get their clan treasure . In the Dong Clan estate, many pairs of eyes were witnessing the battle in the sky, and a lot of them were beginning to have the urge to join the battle as well . The fate of their clan relied on this battle, and none of them wanted to sit around doing nothing .

At this time, Dong Ziming started criticizing Dong Ziwan again, "This is all your fault . If you had called your friends over, with their help, our clan wouldn't be in such terrible condition . If our clan loses this battle, you are the reason!"

Facing Dong Ziming's irrational criticism, Dong Ziwan did not know what to say . If she had really called Xiang Shaoyun's group here to participate in such a hopeless battle, then she would truly be a terrible friend . After all, there were too few of them . It was not like they would be of much help even if they had come . Instead, they would have been plunged into danger as well .

"Are you staying silent because you are feeling guilty? You are the same as your mother, a selfish wretch!" Dong Ziming continued berating her .

At this time, a woman with decent looks heard him and asked, "Ming, what happened?"

This woman was Dong Ziming's mother, Yan Li, a peak Skysoar Realm cultivator . Dong Ziming then loudly narrated the simplified version of all that had happened . When the Dong Clan people heard, their faces turned unsightly .

As for Yan Li, she pointed at Dong Ziwan with a cold expression on her face and scolded, "The clan is in a crisis . Since you have good friends capable of helping, why didn't you bring them here? The entire clan is suffering because of you! After the battle is over, I will make sure to tell the clan leader to punish you!"

Other people who had not dared to scold Dong Ziwan earlier started joining in as well .

"Young lady, you should have focused on the bigger picture . Since you have Emperor Realm friends, you should have recruited them to the Dong Clan and got them to help us . "

"That's right . This is the time we need an ally most . If we can't survive this crisis, everything will be over for our clan . "

"What's the point of saying all that now? The young lady has always been a stubborn person . If she hadn't refused the marriage with the Illusionary Palm Society, how would they have helped the traitors?"

"Young lady, you are really at fault this time . The ancestor had doted on you for nothing . "

. . .

Faced with the barrage of criticisms, tears started dripping down Dong Ziwan’s cheeks .

Inwardly, she questioned herself, Have I really been selfish? Have I really ignored the plight of the clan?

Rumble! Rumble!

Yet another rumbling explosion sounded, and finally, the defensive barrier of the Dong Clan broke . With the barrier's collapse, the bulk of the two clans' armies started charging into the city, attacking the Dong Clan estate .

Numerous Dong Clan Kings flew out and fought back . Astral energy explosions started erupting everywhere . The battle of Kings thus began as well . Up in the sky, the Dong Clan Emperors grew anxious when they noticed what was happening down below . The people below were all their family members and successors, and they naturally did not wish for anything bad to happen to them .

"Haha, this is the end of the Dong Clan . Kill!" Tai Changhe roared with laughter .

The other Emperors were similarly excited . Their auras surged as they resumed their attacks on the Dong Clan Emperors whose morale had been shaken . With their low morale, the battle became increasingly one sided in the invaders' favor .

Dong Ziwan felt her heart bleed as she watched . A resolute look covered her face as she muttered, "I will prove my loyalty to the clan even if I have to die!"

She then charged into the battlefield with her sword raised . Alas, she was only a second-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator . What could she possibly do to save the Dong Clan? 

Meanwhile, three humans and a Demon Emperor were rushing toward the Dong Clan at a rapid speed .
