The Seven Realms Holy Mansion, the master of the Spirit Clan, had also participated in the extraction of the power from the Divine Era of the Totem Heavenly River.
At first, he too believed that the power would prove useful, until Chu Feng activated the Totem Heavenly River Grand Array.
When the unextracted power within his world began to burn away, only then did he realize that the power they had painstakingly extracted with so much effort and manpower was nothing more than fuel for that Heavenly River Grand Array.
But before that, as the master of the Spirit Clan, he had been completely oblivious to all of this.
Jie Tianran was not the only one who felt defeated.
He, the master of the Spirit Clan, had also suffered a considerable blow.
However, having received Jie Tianran's orders, he commanded his subordinates to return to the Seven Realms Holy Mansion.
But he himself did not personally lead the main force. Instead, he boarded a floating warship alone and headed in the direction of the two Saint-level Elders.
He intended to retrieve the barrier treasures he had lent to those two Saint-level Elders.
However, aboard this luxurious floating warship, the master of the Spirit Clan was not alone.
Not only were his two granddaughters, Ling Sheng'er and Ling Mo'er, present, but also Shuang Yu — the loyal subordinate of Chu Feng's grandmother.
Previously, they had decided to support Chu Feng, but Ling Sheng'er did not wish to stand against her own grandfather, so she had decided to come with her sister to try and persuade the master of the Spirit Clan.
Shuang Yu knew that Chu Feng's grandmother had once shown kindness to the master of the Spirit Clan. And as she was Chu Feng's grandmother's trusted confidante, she had come along as well to try and persuade him.
They wanted to see if the master of the Spirit Clan would consider the kindness he had received and choose to support Chu Feng.
"Grandfather, you just saw everything that happened inside the Mirror World."
"Jie Tianran is no match for Chu Feng at all."
"The only reason he can maintain an advantage right now is because he has been cultivating for longer, and because he can temporarily suppress Chu Feng with the Seven Realms Holy Mansion's foundation."
"But the power of the Divine Era has already begun to tilt toward Chu Feng. Sooner or later, Chu Feng will obtain the power of the Divine Era."
"When Xianhai Yu'er stepped into the Heavenly God Realm, she was already unafraid of a Fifth-grade Heavenly God."
"And Chu Feng's talent is even greater than Xianhai Yu'er's."
"When he steps into the Heavenly God Realm, will anyone in the Seven Realms Holy Mansion still be able to hold him down?"
"At that point, given Chu Feng's temperament, he will surely carry out a massacre against the Seven Realms Holy Mansion. He will show no mercy."
"When that time comes, even if our Spirit Clan wishes to defect to Chu Feng, it will be too late."
"Grandfather, even for the sake of our Spirit Clan, you cannot continue to blindly follow Jie Tianran."
Ling Sheng'er urged him with all her might.
Even though she had said these very words countless times over the past days.
But just now, all of them had witnessed through their methods what had occurred inside the Mirror World.
Chu Feng had first activated the Totem Heavenly River Grand Array through meticulous observation, obtaining true power.
And then, within the Mirror World, before the eyes of the world, he had been able to face Jie Tianran head-on and claim absolute advantage.
Even she herself found it incredible.
So she thought that her grandfather, of the older generation, must have been even more deeply affected.
Perhaps there was still a chance to persuade him to change his mind.
"Grandfather..."
Seeing that her grandfather showed no reaction, Ling Sheng'er stepped closer.
*Crack—*
But suddenly, Ling Sheng'er was sent flying sideways, crashing into the wall of the hall. Her entire cheek went numb with stinging pain.
She was stunned.
Ling Mo'er was also stunned.
This was the first time in their lives that the master of the Spirit Clan had ever struck Ling Sheng'er.
"Grandfather, everything Sheng'er said was perfectly correct."
"Why won't you listen? Why must you hit her?"
Ling Mo'er demanded.
"Hitting her is letting her off easy."
"What are the two of you? You are both traitors to the Seven Realms Holy Mansion now."
"As the master of the Spirit Clan within the Seven Realms Holy Mansion, the fact that I haven't killed you two already is more than merciful enough."
"The three of you — get out of my sight immediately. Don't ever appear before me again."
"Otherwise, I will capture all three of you and deliver you to the Mansion Lord to deal with as he sees fit."
"GET OUT!!!"
