Chapter 413: Ji Family War 1
"That's right, I shouldn't have wasted my time talking to him." A hint of determination flashed in Ji Mei's eyes. She no longer wanted to engage in meaningless verbal disputes with Ji Lin. Years of painful experiences made her understand that for people like the Ji family, only strength can make them bow their heads.
"Alright, if you don't hand them over, we'll go find them ourselves." Su Wenxin smiled, seemingly relaxed, but a hint of ruthlessness lingered in his eyes. He was ready for battle; if Grandma gave the order, he would charge at the Ji family without hesitation.
"If that's the case, let's fight!" Seeing their resolute attitude and no intention of backing down, Ji Lin's anger was completely ignited. He thought Ji Mei was just bluffing, but he didn't expect her to actually dare to confront the Ji family. He was furious, thinking that Ji Mei and the others were too arrogant, and really thought that the Ji family had no one. He waved his hand and directly ordered the most capable people around him to take action. These people were the elites of the Ji family, all of whom had reached the late stage of Qi Refining and were considered upper-middle level in the family. He believed that with their strength, they were enough to make Ji Mei and the others retreat.
Ji Mei watched these people stand up and her fighting spirit was ignited in her heart. She also wanted to take action herself to seek justice for herself and her mother.
"Ji Mei, are you here to settle a score with me?" Just as the two sides were about to fight, a sharp and piercing woman's voice suddenly rang out. This voice was like a sharp blade, cutting through the tense atmosphere.
"Grandma, who is this ugly old woman?" Su Siyi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a mean-looking woman slowly approaching. Her face was filled with bitterness and arrogance, and her eyes revealed a disgusting aura. Su Siyi couldn't help but frown, and a deep feeling of disgust welled up in her heart.
"Siyi, please don't look at this ugly person. It won't affect your aesthetic taste." Ji Mei strode in front of Su Siyi, opened his arms, and blocked Su Siyi tightly behind him like an old hen protecting her chicks, as if the mean-looking woman in front of him was the most terrifying monster in the world.
"Ji Mei, you've gotten so bold! You actually dared to say that to me." Ji Yue's face instantly darkened like the sky before a storm, her eyes blazing as she stared at Ji Mei. In her memory, Ji Mei had always been a soft persimmon, a soft persimmon at the mercy of others, bowing her head every day, submitting to whatever they wanted, allowing them to bully her at will. But now, Ji Mei, standing before her, had a confidence and determination in her eyes she had never seen before, which made Ji Yue feel both unfamiliar and infuriated.
"That's because I don't want to be the one you bully anymore." Ji Mei stared back at Ji Yue fearlessly, her eyes like cold stars in the cold night, sharp and resolute. She had once been an ordinary person, unable to cultivate, isolated and helpless in her family, without any support. It wasn't that she wasn't afraid during those days of being bullied, but she knew that not giving in would mean an even more tragic outcome. Countless nights, she wept silently in the darkness, the grievances and resentment in her heart growing deeper and deeper. But now, she finally had the ability to resist, and all those painful past experiences had transformed into the courage she now possessed.
"What? Do you think that just because you have one or two capable cultivators, you have the confidence to fight the entire Ji family?" Ji Yue raised her head, her nose in the air, her face filled with arrogance and disdain. She thought Ji Mei's idea was absurd. In her opinion, the Ji family was deeply rooted in the cultivation world and its influence was enormous. How could Ji Mei and a few helpers shake it?
"Then you can give it a try!" Ji Mei raised her chin slightly, a confident smile playing on her lips. That smile carried an undeniable aura. She was confident. She had now reached the second level of Tai Chi, equivalent to the late stage of Qi training. Coupled with the various opportunities provided by her granddaughter Su Siyi, she was now a much more advanced person.
"You're overestimating yourself, so don't blame me for being rude." Ji Yue was completely enraged by Ji Mei's attitude. She whipped out the spiritual whip from her waist, and it arced through the air, whirring with the sound of wind, and lashed directly at Ji Mei's face. What she hated most was Ji Mei's face, which was even more beautiful than hers. This made her jealous to the point of madness. Every time she saw Ji Mei, she wished she could destroy it.
"Let me do it myself!" Ji Mei's eyes glared at the sight, and she shouted at those around her who wanted to help. Her gaze fixed on Ji Yue, a fire of revenge burning in her eyes. Ji Yue was the one who had bullied her the most. How dare a daughter of a concubine trample on her dignity so wantonly? She had remembered every humiliation she had suffered over the years, and now, she finally had the chance to fight back. She wanted to make Ji Yue feel the pain of being trampled on.
"Grandma Na, keep going!" Su Siyi smiled and cheered Ji Mei on, her eyes filled with trust and expectation. She had long seen through Ji Yue's cultivation level; Ji Yue's spiritual power was far inferior to her grandmother's. Although her family hadn't practiced for long, with the help of the space cheat device and the spiritual spring, her grandmother's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, far beyond Ji Yue's reach.
Ji Mei took a deep breath and slowly pulled the spirit sword her granddaughter had given her from her bosom. The sword, slender in shape, emanated a cool, clear light. Its hilt, inlaid with a translucent gem, shimmered with a mysterious luster in the sunlight. She gripped the sword tightly, its tip pointed directly at Ji Yue, confronting the spirit whip in Ji Yue's hand. The two spiritual weapons echoed in mid-air, a thrilling clash imminent.
"How did you get a spiritual weapon?" Ji Yue looked at the spiritual sword in Ji Mei's hand, her eyes filled with confusion and shock. In her opinion, Ji Mei was just a poor man abandoned by his family. How could he possibly own such a precious spiritual weapon?
"Why, you're the only one who has it, and I can't?" Ji Mei snorted disdainfully, her eyes filled with mockery. In her opinion, people like Ji Yue always think highly of themselves, thinking they are superior, but they don't know that there are countless people in this world who are more powerful than them.
"How can you afford to use a spiritual weapon? Do you have any cultivation?" Ji Yue's eyes were filled with suspicion. She stared at Ji Mei intently, trying to find a flaw in Ji Mei. However, she could not sense any spiritual fluctuations from Ji Mei, which made her even more confused. She refused to believe that Ji Mei's cultivation was higher than hers. In her heart, this was absolutely impossible.
"I just realized it, but it's a little too late." Ji Mei sneered. She didn't waste any more words with Ji Yue. The spiritual power in her body surged instantly. She suddenly activated her magic weapon. The spiritual sword shone brightly and attacked Ji Yue with a powerful force. She used all her strength in this attack, filled with years of resentment and anger. She wanted Ji Yue to pay a heavy price for his past actions.
