Chapter 415: Ji Family War 3
The smoke of battle gradually cleared, leaving the battlefield in ruins. The Su family members, each one a heroic figure, stood out among the fallen Ji family members, appearing particularly dazzling. Soon, the Su family had beaten all the Ji family members who had rushed out, leaving them lying on the ground. Those who had once lorded it over the Ji family were now in a state of disarray, unable to resist.
"You, why do you have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age!" Ji Lin slumped on the ground, gasping for breath. His eyes were full of shock and unwillingness. He stared straight at Nangong Jingming. He couldn't understand why he, a master in the early stage of foundation building, would lose to such a young junior.
"It just means you're not talented enough." Nangong Jingming looked down at Ji Lin, his tone devoid of politeness and even a hint of contempt in his eyes. In his view, Ji Lin's failure was inevitable; his cultivation path was too limited, and he hadn't truly tapped into his potential.
"You, how arrogant!" Ji Lin was so angry at Nangong Jingming's words that his face turned pale. He clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. He felt deeply insulted that a junior dared to speak to him like that.
"I'm just telling the truth!" Nangong Jingming said lightly, without any change in expression on his face, as if the battle just now was just an easy game to him.
"Grandma, everyone who should be here is here, right?" Su Siyi walked lightly to Ji Mei's side, her face filled with the joy of victory and her eyes sparkling with a smart light.
"Well, everyone who's supposed to be here has arrived!" Ji Mei nodded slightly, her eyes scanning the Ji family members around her. At this moment, the entire Ji family, save for the ancestor who was still in seclusion, had gathered here. A complex wave of emotions welled up in her heart. It seemed that years of grievances would finally be settled today.
Su Siyi knew that their victory in this battle was no accident. They had access to spiritual spring water, which replenished their spiritual energy, while the Ji family did not. In today's world of cultivation, where spiritual energy is scarce, replenishing spiritual energy is crucial. Without sufficient spiritual energy, the Ji family, no matter how high their cultivation level, would struggle to sustain the battle. Therefore, from the very beginning of the battle, the Ji family's defeat was doomed.
"Then let's go take Grandma home!" Su Wenying put away his spirit sword, the aura of battle still lingering on it. His voice was firm and powerful, his eyes full of respect for his elders.
"Well, let's go in!" Ji Mei took a deep breath, straightened her back, and strode towards the Ji family's ancestral home with everyone. Her eyes revealed a hint of anxiety, and her mother's voice and smile kept appearing in her mind. She knew that her mother was buried in the hills behind the old house. After so many years, she finally had the ability to take her mother away from this place that made her sad.
"How dare you, evil girl? Aren't you afraid that your mother will be angry if you do this?" When Ji Lin heard that Ji Mei was going to take away his mother's coffin, he jumped up anxiously, and his voice became a little hoarse with anger.
"How could my mother be angry? What she wanted most was to leave the Ji family, to leave this hypocritical family." Ji Mei turned her head and glared at Ji Lin fiercely, her tone unquestionable. In her heart, her mother's days in the Ji family were filled with pain and humiliation, and leaving here was her mother's true wish.
"No, your mother loves me the most, she will never leave me!" Ji Lin's face showed a distorted expression. He seemed to be still immersed in his own fantasy and was unwilling to believe Ji Mei's words.
"My mother stopped loving you when you betrayed her and took in concubines one after another. How could you possibly have the nerve to fall in love with a hypocrite like you who falls in love with every woman he meets?" Ji Mei sarcastically sneered, her eyes burning with anger. For years, she had watched her mother suffer in the Ji family, and the resentment in her heart was like a volcano, finally erupting completely.
"You, I am your father after all, how can you say that to me, you unfilial daughter!" Ji Lin was so angry that his eyes widened and his breathing became rapid, as if he would die at any moment. He never thought that his daughter would accuse him so mercilessly.
"I'm sorry, but I'm no longer your daughter." Ji Mei said this coldly, turning around and continuing to walk towards her mother's grave. Her steps were firm and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
Nangong Jingming and his men stayed where they were, keeping a close eye on the Ji family to prevent them from making any unusual moves. His eyes revealed a vigilance and majesty that made the Ji family members dare not act rashly.
The Su family quickly found the place where Ji Mei's mother was buried. It was a quiet hillside, surrounded by green trees, as if it were a secluded paradise. However, as Su Siyi stood there, she felt a strange feeling. Her brows furrowed slightly, and an inexplicable uneasiness welled up in her heart, but she couldn't explain why.
"Grandma, is this where great-grandmother rests?" Su Siyi asked softly. Her voice was very soft, for fear of disturbing the tranquility here.
"Well, mother, I'm here to see you!" Ji Mei slowly knelt in front of the grave, tears in her eyes and her voice became a little choked. Seeing this, the Su family also knelt down, their faces full of solemnity and respect.
Everyone first paid their respects, offering flowers and offerings, silently expressing their longing for the deceased. After the ceremony, Ji Mei asked for help in digging the grave. Strength lies in numbers, and with everyone working together, they quickly unearthed the coffin. The coffin lay there quietly, as if telling of the vicissitudes of time.
"Mom, I'll take you back to the Li family!" Ji Mei gently stroked the coffin, her eyes filled with tenderness and reluctance. She took out a space button and carefully put the coffin away. At this moment, she felt a mixture of emotions: longing for her mother and the relief of finally fulfilling her mother's wish.
"Grandma, we have defeated the Ji family. Shouldn't we go and pick up some spoils from the Ji family's treasure house?" Su Wenxin's eyes were shining with excitement. He had been curious about the Ji family's treasure house for a long time, and now he finally had the opportunity to find out.
"Of course I have to go. I have to take back what belongs to my mother!" Ji Mei nodded, a look of determination in her eyes. Although the Li family was no longer as prosperous as before when her mother married, the dowry given to her mother was very generous. After so many years, who knows how much is left.
"Then let's go get it!" Su Wenxin jumped up excitedly and rushed towards the Ji family impatiently.
