Chapter 6293: Unfathomable

It was not just Jie Shanxian who was astonished; the Ling Clan’s Clan Chief and the others were astounded as well. Dispelling the authority of the Ancestor Token was the same as open defiance against the ancestors. It was an act of gross disrespect.

Such a feat shouldn’t have been possible in the first place, but Jie Tianran pulled it off.

“Now that I’m the Mansion Master, I won’t allow anyone else to intervene in the Sacred Mansion’s affairs,” Jie Tianran revealed his reason for dispelling the Ancestor Token’s authority. “Lord Shanxian, you have already chosen to leave, so why return now? Your return shows that you still identify as a member of the Sacred Mansion. If so, you shouldn’t defy me and side with an outsider. Are you planning to betray the Sacred Mansion?”

“Betray the Sacred Mansion? What a slander! Not only have you failed to act impartially as the Mansion Master, but you have also turned your back on your ancestors’ teaching by dispelling the authority of the Ancestor Token. You claim to be doing it for the Sacred Mansion, but all I see is selfishness. You are a tumor to the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion!” Jie Shanxian spat.

“Cursing the Mansion Master. That’s another line to your list of crimes,” Jie Tianran calmly replied.

“Jie Tianran, do you think I am helpless against you just because you dispelled the Ancestor Token’s authority? It’s not just based on seniority that I, Jie Shanxian, acquired the Ancestor Token. Even without the Ancestor Token, I’ll purge the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion of this tumor!”

Jie Shanxian stowed away her Ancestor Token and unleashed her spirit power, causing her robe to flutter.

The Ling Clan’s Clan Chief and the others were astonished. Her aura was far superior to theirs. She was a rank three Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist!

That was her original spirit power, and she had made a full recovery now. Factoring in her heaven-defying battle power, her fighting prowess was comparable to a rank four Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist.

Yet, Jie Tianran showed not the slightest unease in the face of her power. He said, “Not only did you side with an outsider and curse me, but you’re even planning to attack me now. Your crimes warrant the death penalty.”

Knowing words were futile, Jie Shanxian formed a hand seal. Her spirit power morphed into massive dragons that lunged at Jie Tianran.

Jie Tianran smirked.

...

Boom!

The palace shook. Powerful shockwaves could be felt outside, but this commotion didn’t last long before the shaking stopped.

Color spirit power suffused the palace, but the clash had already ended.

Jie Tianran was unharmed, whereas Jie Shanxian collapsed on the floor, covered in blood.

Weapons and treasures emanating the Ancient Era’s aura were scattered around her. They were covered in a defensive layer of spirit power, but the spirit power was from Jie Tianran instead of her even though these were her possessions!

Jie Tianran walked up to Jie Shanxian and stomped on her thigh, crushing it.

But Jie Shanxian didn’t wail in pain. Her eyes were filled with anger and despair.

Her anger was because she couldn’t defeat the man before her. Her despair was because she knew it was only a matter of time before the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion crumbled under his leadership.

“Jie Shanxian, I’ll spare your life in view of the contributions you have made to the Sacred Mansion, but I cannot overlook your betrayal of the Sacred Mansion. As much as I wish to turn a blind eye to your deeds, I have to be impartial as the Mansion Master. Don’t blame me for this.”

A blood-red formation emerged from Jie Tianran’s palm. This formation appeared to be a living being as it had a ravenous mouth!

“Lord Mansion Master!” the Ling Clan’s Clan Chief and the Saint-tier elders exclaimed in astonishment.

“Are you going to speak up on her behalf?” Jie Tianran shot them a cold glance.

The Saint-tier elders hurriedly lowered their heads out of fright.

The Ling Clan’s Clan Chief hesitated, but he still spoke up with a quivering voice in the end, “Lord Mansion Master, Lord Shanxian is our senior, and she’s on close terms with Lord World Spiritist Immortal King. Now that we are facing a threat from the Ancient Era’s races, we need to be united more than ever. Lord Shanxian’s strength is indubitably a huge asset...”

His words trailed off at this point.

As the Ling Clan’s Clan Chief, he ruled the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s Ling Clan. His standing was above that of the Saint-tier elders, making him second to only the Mansion Master. He was someone who had weathered storms before.

But faced with Jie Tianran’s increasingly frigid gaze, he lost the courage to speak up for his senior. In the end, he lowered his head like the other Saint-tier elders before he could finish his piece.

Seeing that there was no more opposition, Jie Tianran pressed his formation against Jie Shanxian’s abdomen.

“GAHHHHH!”

Jie Shanxian’s face distorted. Her expression didn’t flicker when her leg was crushed, but the pain she was suffering now was so excruciating that she gritted her teeth and hissed. Sweat rained down her face. Eventually, her screams became hoarse.

A powerful energy was flowing from her body into Jie Tianran’s body.

In the end, there was a spatial distortion, and even her body was dragged into Jie Tianran’s palm formation too.

“It’s a waste to leave these treasures with you.”

Jie Tianran stood up. With a wave of his sleeves, he stowed the weapons and treasures scattered over the floor into his Cosmos Sack.

“Did you all know about Jie Shanxian’s return?” Jie Tianran asked.

“Lord Mansion Master, we only learned about it ourselves. Lord Shan... No, Jie Shanxian summoned us to question us about Jie Ranqing and Chu Feng’s affairs, so we told her what we knew. This is information that outsiders can easily acquire too. I swear that we didn’t exaggerate the story to paint you in a bad light!”

The Ling Clan’s Clan Chief and the Saint-tier elders were extremely nervous. Even Jie Shanxian, whose fighting prowess was comparable to a rank four Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist, was no match for Jie Tianran.

This showed just how unfathomable their Mansion Master was.

“There’s no need to be so nervous. I’m merely asking a question. You’re core members of our Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. I trust you. You may go now,” Jie Tianran said.

The Ling Clan’s Clan Chief and the others bowed to Jie Tianran before taking their leave.

Just as they were about to walk out, Jie Tianran suddenly added, “Don’t tell anyone about Jie Shanxian for the time being.”

“Rest assured, Lord Mansion Master. Our lips are sealed!” they promised.

“Go.” Jie Tianran waved his hand.

The Ling Clan’s Clan Chief and the Saint-tier elders felt their legs wobble as they left the palace. They didn’t expect Jie Tianran to be so brazen as to do this to a venerated elder of Jie Shanxian’s stature.

It was fortunate that Jie Tianran didn’t punish them for this.

After they left, Jie Tianran departed from the palace and headed deeper into the hidden realm, making his way to a place that even Jie Shanxian couldn’t reach.
