Martial God Asura

Chapter 6598: Abusing Power

“Elder Ling Kun, what are you doing?” Jie Baobao asked in confusion.

“Jie Baobao, I am doing this for you. You and Ling Xiao are the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion’s future. The Sacred Mansion has spared no effort in nurturing you. However, there have been rumors that you are colluding with Chu Feng. For your reputation, it is best that you clarify it in front of everyone.”

Ling Kun pulled Jie Baobao into the sky. Before Jie Baobao could react, she was already brought before a massive golden formation resembling a small city.

The tens of millions of world spiritists residing on this cultivation ground were gathered here. There were people everywhere one looked.

Ling Kun’s arrival with Jie Baobao caught the crowd’s attention.

“I have heard rumors regarding Jie Baobao circulating within the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. I have investigated the matter, and it seems like the cause stems from Jie Baobao speaking up for Chu Feng when someone insulted him. Jie Baobao, is that true?” Ling Kun asked.

Jie Baobao didn’t answer.

“Grandfather, she didn’t just speak up for Chu Feng. She even hit me! Look, there’s still her palm print on my face!” a woman rose into the sky and said.

She had a slender figure, but half of her face was swollen like a pig’s head. There was a clear palm print on her cheek. She was Ling Tiantian, Ling Kun’s granddaughter.

“Lord Ling Kun, we can testify to that.”

Several more figures rose into the sky. They were all juniors. Most of them were injured, especially the men.

“We were discussing Chu Feng’s misdeeds with Miss Tiantian when Jie Baobao suddenly appeared out of nowhere and framed us for spreading false rumors. We tried to reason with her, but she attacked us,” one of the juniors said.

“This...”

The accusations sparked intense discussions from the crowd.

Jie Baobao was of a high stature in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion, being one of its most talented prodigies, but Chu Feng was a special case. It would be a huge case if she had beaten up her brethren over Chu Feng.

“Jie Baobao, I don’t want you to say that I’m biased. My granddaughter isn’t the only one accusing you now. You should explain yourself,” Ling Kun said.

“Elder Ling Kun, your granddaughter is a jealous woman. She has been oppressing others using your name. Many have suffered under her tyranny, and it looks like she has set her eyes on me now. You must have already chosen to pamper her, considering how you dragged me here to question me in public,” Jie Baobao replied with a seething tone.

While Ling Kun was a rank one Heavenly Dragon World Spiritist now, he had been a mere late True Dragon World Spiritist before God’s Era, and he wasn’t close to reaching pinnacle. There were many world spiritists like Ling Kun in the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion.

But true prodigies like Jie Baobao still numbered in the minority. For that reason, she didn’t fear Ling Kun. Besides, Ling Kun was clearly using his power to oppress her right now.

“What? Elder Ling Kun dragged Jie Baobao here?”

Jie Baobao’s words changed the public sentiment. To the crowd, Jie Baobao’s stature was higher than Elder Ling Kun’s.

“I am merely following the rules.” Ling Kun didn’t deny the matter, though he stowed away the invisible ropes he had bound Jie Baobao with. “Jie Baobao, you shouldn’t make unsubstantiated claims. You claim that my granddaughter is oppressing others, but I have heard no such news before. If you have evidence, bring it out.”

“You want evidence? Those who have been bullied by Ling Tiantian, step forth!” Jie Baobao looked at the people who had been oppressed by Ling Tiantian, but those people lowered their heads, not daring to step forward.

“It looks like you don’t have evidence. Jie Baobao, you have to give everyone an explanation right now lest others misunderstand,” Ling Kun said.

“What is there to explain? It didn’t happen. I have nothing to say if you can accuse me of colluding with Chu Feng just by pulling several people out,” Jie Baobao replied.

“What about my granddaughter? Your aura lingers on her face.”

“Your granddaughter deserves to be beaten up.”

“You!” Ling Kun was enraged by Jie Baobao’s arrogance.

Several elders stepped forward and interjected.

“Forget it, Elder Ling Kun. It’s just a fight among the kids. It will pass in due time. There’s no need to dig too deeply into it.”

“Indeed. Isn’t that how we grew up as well? We’re all from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion. We shouldn’t be holding grudges against one another.”

They were all speaking up for Jie Baobao.

But their words only caused Ling Tian’s face to further darken.

“You’re disrespecting not just me, Ling Kun, but Lord Mansion Master.” Ling Kun took out a token with a flick of his wrist. The token unleashed a humongous formation that covered the sky. “This is Lord Mansion Master’s Enforcement Token. Standing before the token is equivalent to standing in the presence of Lord Mansion Master.”

The crowd was stunned. Even Jie Baobao was taken aback. She couldn’t believe that someone of Ling Kun’s stature would be granted the Enforcement Token.

But the Enforcement Token’s formation couldn’t be faked. Not only was the token real, but it was clearly inscribed on it that it was bestowed upon Ling Kun.

“I didn’t expect Ling Kun to be so highly regarded by Lord Mansion Master. No wonder Lord Mansion Master entrusted this important task to him.”

“It’s a different era now. Jie Baobao is in trouble.”

The crowd stirred again, but the tides had changed. Those who had sided with Jie Baobao earlier were hoping to get in her good graces, but no one dared to speak up for her anymore.

Those elders who had spoken up for Jie Baobao turned livid. They regretted getting involved. The Enforcement Token showed that Elder Ling Kun was favored by Jie Tianran, and it gave him the authority to kill anyone he deemed guilty.

The future might be important, but it would be for naught if they were to be executed right now.

Ling Kun’s anger subsided upon seeing the crowd’s expression. Power was ever so intoxicating.
