Martial God Asura

Chapter 6660: Jie Tianran’s Motive

The Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Ling Clan’s Clan Chief had also been extracting God’s Era’s power fragments scattered across the Totem Galaxy. He believed the power fragments would be of the essence until Chu Feng activated the Totem Galaxy’s formation.

When he saw the power fragment bursting into flame, he suddenly realized that all the power fragments he had extracted thus far were nothing but fuel for the galaxy formation. Yet, despite being the head of the Ling Clan, he had been completely oblivious to it.

Jie Tianran was far from the only one who felt defeated. The Ling Clan’s Clan Chief received a massive shock as well.

When he received Jie Tianran’s order, he ordered all his clansmen to return to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. However, he didn’t personally lead them. Instead, he entrusted the job to his subordinate, while he took a warship toward where two of the Saint-tier elders were.

The Ling Clan’s Clan Chief was accompanied by his two granddaughters, Ling Sheng’er and Ling Mo’er, as well as a loyal subordinate of Chu Feng’s grandmother, Shuang Yu.

The three of them had made up their minds to support Chu Feng, but they didn’t want to become enemies with the Ling Clan’s Clan Chief, so they visited him in hopes of persuading him.

Shuang Yu thought that since the Ling Clan’s Clan Chief was indebted to Chu Feng’s grandmother, there was a chance he might support Chu Feng in view of that.

“Grandfather, you saw what happened in the copper mirror. Jie Tianran isn’t a match for Chu Feng. He only retains the upper hand due to his age and the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s strong foundation, but that is transient. God’s Era is already beginning to side toward Chu Feng. It is only a matter of time before Chu Feng obtains God’s Era’s final power.

“Xianhai Yu’er can already rival rank five Heavenly Gods despite having only just reached Heavenly God, and Chu Feng’s talent surpasses hers. Is there anyone in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion who can stop Chu Feng once he reaches Heavenly God?

“Chu Feng won’t spare anyone from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. If we wait till then, it will be too late for our Ling Clan to switch sides. Grandfather, you mustn’t continue to blindly follow Jie Tianran, even for the sake of our Ling Clan,” Ling Sheng’er said.

This was not her first time saying these words, but she thought that her grandfather might change his mind after witnessing Chu Feng’s recent accomplishments. Even she was shocked to see what Chu Feng had done, so surely her grandfather would feel the same.

“Grandfather...”

Noticing a lack of response from her grandfather, Ling Sheng’er stepped forward.

Pah!

A slap sent Ling Sheng’er flying into a wall. Her cheek stung so much that it went numb.

Ling Sheng’er was stunned. So was Ling Mo’er. This was the first time the Ling Clan’s Clan Chief had struck Ling Sheng’er.

“Grandfather, you know that Sheng’er is right. Why did you strike her for speaking the truth?” Ling Mo’er asked.

“I have gone easy on her. Have you forgotten your places? You two are now the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s traitors! I am the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Ling Clan’s Clan Chief. It’s out of mercy that I didn’t take your lives. You three get lost right now. Otherwise, I’ll apprehend you and let the Mansion Master deal with you. Scram!!!” The Ling Clan’s Clan Chief roared as he tossed two Cosmos Sacks toward Ling Mo’er.

“Do you really think that your granddaughters would harm you? Have you forgotten the grace Lord Nianqing has shown you? How can you remain unmoved after witnessing Lord Nianqing’s tragic death? Jie Tianran is out of his mind! He is capable of anything! If you continue being so stubborn, the next one will be you!” Shuang Yu bellowed.

She had begun losing her patience after many attempts to persuade the Ling Clan’s Clan Chief had ended in futility.

Boom!

“Why do you think you are still breathing right now? If not for Lord Nianqing, you would have been dead by now. If you’re really tired of living, I can grant you your wish right now!” the Ling Clan’s Clan Chief said with a murderous glint in his eyes.

“We’ll leave right now, grandfather. Please spare Lord Shuang Yu.” Ling Sheng’er hurriedly kneeled before the Ling Clan’s Clan Chief, grabbed his thighs, and pleaded.

The Ling Clan’s Clan Chief looked at his most doted granddaughter and her swollen cheek with conflicted eyes. He turned around and waved his sleeve.

“Get lost.”

Ling Sheng’er and Ling Mo’er swiftly grabbed Shuang Yu and dragged her away.

With that, the Ling Clan’s Clan Chief was the only one left on the warship.

“Sheng’er, Mo’er, I also know deep down that I’m walking down the path of doom. But the one I’m loyal to isn’t Jie Tianran but the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. The Ling Clan rose to prominence through the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. I cannot shoulder the burden of being labeled a traitor, and so can’t the Ling Clan,” the Ling Clan’s Clan Chief murmured with a sigh.

All of a sudden, his eyes narrowed.

He formed a hand seal and conjured a spirit formation gate on his palm. A compass flew from the gate. A figure was moving on the compass. The figure was coming from another direction, but it appeared to be heading toward the same destination as him.

“Where is Jie Tianran heading?” The Ling Clan’s Clan Chief was confused.

He had received this compass from the previous Ling Clan’s Clan Chief. The latter had left an imprint on Jie Tianran to track his whereabouts. This matter was a secret. In the Ling Clan, he was the only one who knew about this compass.

Not even his two granddaughters knew about this.

“Does he have other arrangements?”

The Ling Clan’s Clan Chief was not certain at first, but upon confirming that Jie Tianran was heading toward the two Saint-tier elders, he slowed his footsteps. He knew that Jie Tianran was in a bad mood, and it wouldn’t be wise to appear before him right now, lest he be implicated.

The two Saint-tier elders whom the Ling Clan’s Clan Chief was looking for were Jie Qingsu and Jie Zhenfu. They hosted the entrance examination that inducted Chu Feng and Fu Xing into the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

The two Saint-tier elders were returning to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion with eighty million elite world spiritists. Space was boundless, but eight thousand warships traveling in a tight formation were still a sight to behold.

All of them looked crestfallen due to their failure to secure God’s Era’s powers.

And when Jie Tianran appeared in front of them, they began trembling in unease and nervousness.
