Chapter 516: Chapter 511: Josen Family
Ji Ning made a ’please go ahead’ gesture.
As the group left the manor, a gunshot suddenly rang out behind them.
The captain glanced back, clicking his tongue twice.
"These families hardly have clean hands."
Ye Xingyan laughed, "How many of these ancient families that have maintained glory for hundreds of years have hands that are not stained with blood?"
Ji Ning glanced at him, as if asking: Your Ye Family is almost a hundred years old too, isn’t it?
The smile on Ye Xingyan’s face immediately disappeared.
"Commander Sister, should we head to the Josen Family now?" The little boy, who had been silently assisting, suddenly looked at Ji Ning.
He had waited a long time, and now it was his turn for revenge.
Ji Ning patted his slightly soft hair, "The mastermind is yours, don’t touch anyone else."
The little boy didn’t understand but obediently nodded.
Under the navigation of Zero, the group drove towards the Josen Family’s territory, where, like the Rick Family, all the residents were Josen Family members.
In contrast to the restraint shown on the Rick Family’s land, Ji Ning showed no mercy here; anyone with the name Josen was entirely eliminated, and the extremely guilty vanished without a trace, not even leaving ashes.
This truly allowed everyone to witness the terrifying power of Space Power.
Ye Xingyan originally thought the Rick Family was the example set by "killing a chicken to warn the monkey," but it turned out the Josen Family was the real example.
And these ancient families in the Western Continent have a characteristic: they are heavy on rules and value privacy highly, so there are few surveillance cameras within their territories.
Even if they did something, there would be no evidence.
Moreover, the sins of the Josen Family aren’t even enough to wash away with a thousand cuts.
According to the information retained by Zero, John Josen was just a puppet entangled by both the original Smart Brain and the Josen Family.
The real masterminds were the reigning power holders of the Josen Family, along with a group of core members led by the clan leader of the Josen Family.
Even those seemingly astute but actually manipulated underground roundtable members of the Ji Family Army’s Left Wing power were thoroughly exploited by the Josen Family powerholders.
Ji Ning quickly perused the decades’ worth of data recorded by the original Smart Brain in the Josen Family’s ancient castle, growing angrier the more she read.
The more she read, the more she felt those old guys from the Ji Family Army who prided themselves on being smart were downright foolish.
They were practically sold by the Josen Family for decades yet foolishly helped others count money.
Thinking of the Great Hua Continent, which has been a land of talent since ancient times, how could so many fools have appeared?
Ji Ning was having an existential crisis...
When Zero whispered in her ear, "Commander, ahead is the residence of the core members of the Josen Family."
Ji Ning simultaneously exerted her spiritual power and right foot, charging mercilessly forward.
The Josen Family also had spiritual ability users who, upon sensing her presence, met with a fierce attack.
Part of the Josen Family’s elite were sent to their territory to investigate the cause of a fire, but because of Ji Ning’s interception midway, they sensed something had changed, dispatching more elites to search elsewhere.
At this point, only a few highly skilled old guys were left inside the residence.
Some of these people were Immortal People, and the chips in the back of these Immortal People’s heads were not controlled by the original Smart Brain.
Ji Ning had Zero directly invade the Smart Brain program controlled by the Josen Family, forcibly pausing the chip program.
The defense inside the residence instantly shrunk by half.
Ji Ning led her people in with hardly any effort.
The Josen Clan Leader did not expect any strangers to break into his residence, and just as he was about to press the defense system, he saw black smoke rising next to the button.
He shrank back in shock, eyes full of caution as he looked at the girl from the Outer Continent in front of him.
"Who are you?"
"After stealing from me so much, do you not know who I am?" Ji Ning casually picked up a wooden carving on the table, glancing at the ancient characters carved on it, and chuckled softly.
The Josen Clan Leader originally wanted to snatch back the wooden carving, but upon hearing this, his eyes widened, sizing up Ji Ning several times, uncertainly asking, "Are you a descendant of the Hua Continent’s Female War God?"
"Heh..." Ji Ning coldly snorted, "The Ji Family Army you collaborated with didn’t tell you the truth?"
The Josen Clan Leader’s expression tightened.
He had naturally received the news of the Ji Family Army Commander’s return long ago, but wasn’t she blown up by the Smart Brain?
Could it be that 20 strategic weapons didn’t kill her?
Ji Ning seemed to hear his inner voice, clapping her hands lightly, saying indifferently, "You aren’t qualified to make me die."
The little boy slowly walked in from outside.
The familiar face made the Josen Clan Leader’s face even more unsightly, "John, dare you betray the family?"
The little boy’s resentful eyes immediately widened, roaring, "My name is Bodun Barry, not Josen, that filthy surname."
With his roar, enormous spiritual power erupted instantly, directly striking the Josen Clan Leader’s body, making him feel his internal organs and bones being sliced by sharp spiritual power.
The pain was so intense that he wanted to scream, but his vocal cords were severed by the first cut, making it difficult for him to cry out.
"Leave him a breath." Ji Ning reminded, hoping the little boy wouldn’t claim another life if possible.
She came to the wall, carefully studying the frescoes.
There was a mechanism leading to an underground bunker here, not an electronic one but a traditional mechanism designed by Grandpa You Le.
At this thought, she wanted Zero to let out that old absent-minded You Family member and scold him once more.
According to the Hua Continent’s Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, moving the nose, eyes, ears, and mouth of the person in the painting would open the hidden door behind the bookshelf.
To the Western Continent people with little subsequent culture, the mechanism design was exquisite, but to the Hua Continent people, even those with a basic understanding of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams could open it.
One wonders whether the absent-minded You Family member intentionally meant to humiliate them.
After successfully opening the door, Ji Ning felt somewhat better, glancing back at the little boy still "beating the corpse," saying, "That’s about enough; we should head down."
The boy’s grey-white pupils suddenly widened, and the man on the ground completely lost consciousness.
Ji Ning sent another command to Zero.
"Get Ye Xingyan over here, there’s something here that will interest him."
...
Ye Xingyan followed the open pathway for over ten minutes until he saw a large illuminated door.
As he approached, his eyes instantly lit up.
The commander truly understood him, knowing what he liked?
The space inside the door was vast, filled with advanced electronic medical equipment.
Beside the equipment was an operating table, and judging by the helmets and Smart Brain equipment installed, this was a laboratory for creating Immortal People.
He walked further, passing several large machines, and saw dozens of tall iron cabinets welded to the ground, densely packed with countless chips - undoubtedly biological chips not yet housed in a host.
Ye Xingyan roughly estimated there were tens of thousands of chips here.
The Josen Family was truly insane.
"Commander, where are you?" Ye Xingyan shouted loudly when he found no more road ahead.
A response from the little boy immediately came from above, "Grandpa Ye, we’re here."
Ye Xingyan looked up to see the little boy waving to him from a railing on the second floor.
He looked around again and finally found the stairs to the second floor.
When he climbed up, he saw the little boy sitting at the top of the stairs, resting his chin on his hands, waiting for him.
"Why don’t you go in?"
"Commander Sister is angry and won’t let me in. She said once you come up, you can go in directly."
Ye Xingyan was puzzled, "Why?"
"I don’t know, we saw some big jars with people inside, and Commander Sister got angry, told me to come out and wait for you, and not to use spiritual power to probe." The little boy pouted, somewhat disgruntledly complaining.
Ye Xingyan patted his head, "Probably not a healthy thing for little kids to see. You wait here; I’ll take a look."
Despite guessing the situation inside, he was still shocked by the scene before him.
Ji Ning stood with her back to him, exuding a frighteningly oppressive aura, asking coldly, "Is your so-called righteousness sacrificing these innocent people?"
