Chapter 553: Chapter 548: Perfect, Let’s Have a Whole Fish Feast
The suspected Ji Ning once again received information about the remnants of the Eternal Life Sect from [Zero].
After the battle in the West Continent, the left wing of the Ji Family Army and the headquarters of the Eternal Life Sect were mostly destroyed by her, and the core members with chips implanted in their brains were shut down and closely monitored.
The organization that seemed to be no longer a threat is now back to life.
Many ordinary people without chips, under the call of certain superpower users, continue activities under the guise of avenging fallen believers, causing chaos and recruiting new followers.
This time, their methods are more extreme than before, portraying the Eternal Life Sect as if gods had descended.
The driving force behind this is led by the Vis family of the South Continent.
The freighter that transported her to Death Island previously belonged to the Vis family.
Quell Vis is now obsessed with researching Star Stone Energy, increasingly losing control over his family.
Besides, several Outer Continent families such as those from the West Continent and Jiazhou are dissatisfied with the Huazhou people controlling Beizhou, constantly engaging in underhanded actions.
Now, with new products like the primary Nutrition Pod and superpower-awakening potions on the market, their ambitions are growing bigger.
With the Vis family probing ahead this time, she must use thunderous means to suppress these wicked people.
Thinking of this, a grey hint flashed in Ji Ning’s pupils.
***
The news of the head of the Vis family dying unexpectedly in Beizhou shocked everyone.
The representatives of families close to the Vis family suddenly felt a chill down their spine, everyone on edge.
Not long after an attack incident at the investment fair, the head of the Vis family was killed; the assassin was a remnant of the Eternal Life Sect.
Although the Eternal Life Sect had previously been marked as a cult by the International Alliance, and a global purge initiative was issued.
But in reality, only Huazhou acted on it; other continents’ forces have various connections with the Eternal Life Sect, including the Vis family secretly interacting with them and providing convenience.
But now you’re telling them that the current head of the Vis family was killed by remnants of the Eternal Life Sect?
How is it possible?
Beizhou has the Vis family’s ancestors, how could the Eternal Life Sect remnants kill the head of the Vis family?
"Why would the Eternal Life Sect come to Beizhou for revenge? Could it be that the person who destroyed their headquarters in the West Continent is in Beizhou?"
Several families gathered together, whispering to each other.
One person said, "It’s highly possible. The Huazhou people were the first to expose the evil deeds of the Eternal Life Sect, and it’s said the Sect persecuted many civilians. The fire at the Josen family in the West Continent before was very likely..."
At this point, the person lowered his voice, "To silence them."
"You all know the relationship between the Eternal Life Sect and the Josen family. How could those who detest the Sect let the Josen family go?"
"But no matter what, the Josen family is one of the ancient families of Huazhou, and their strength cannot be underestimated. How could they be wiped out so easily?"
"The Vis family’s ancestors always managed Beizhou before, why did they suddenly replace them?"
"Could it be this new person in charge..."
The crowd felt they had discovered the truth, shivering involuntarily.
"What do we do now?"
"Hurry and leave."
Before they could leave, a loud knocking echoed from outside the door.
The knock was urgent, and the representatives’ faces darkened.
They glanced at each other, and none went to open the door.
They all had superpower bodyguards, though few in number, they were strong; the only people their guards couldn’t stop would be Beizhou base soldiers.
"Open up, routine check!"
The same thing happened to every family representative staying at the Beizhou Hotel.
Bai Xiaotang was also woken by the knocking from outside, wrapped in a coat, and drowsily got up to open the door.
A few fully armed base soldiers stood at the entrance.
"Miss Bai, we’re here to inspect the room facilities," Mantis said politely.
"Alright, what’s going on?" Bai Xiaotang made way, letting them enter the room.
"Members of the Eternal Life Sect have infiltrated Beizhou, causing incidents. The assassin who attacked Miss Bai yesterday was one of them."
Bai Xiaotang looked surprised. She had watched informational videos about preventing brainwashing by cults in school before, and the Eternal Life Sect was one of them.
But she had never had contact with the Eternal Life Sect before, why would they want to kidnap her?
If it wasn’t for Fu Yuanxuan arriving in time, she might have been deceived by them.
Or were these people targeting those around her?
Could it be Sister Ning?
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaotang anxiously asked, "How is Sister Ning? Has she been harmed by any members of the Eternal Life Sect?"
Mantis was surprised by Bai Xiaotang’s keenness and selectively revealed, "Don’t worry, Leader Ji is fine. Everything is under control. You and your friends should avoid being alone these days. Our captain will also be nearby to protect you."
Bai Xiaotang’s expression was somewhat unnatural.
After such a hullabaloo, the news of Eternal Life Sect members infiltrating Beizhou was known to all force representatives.
Some were genuinely worried about their safety, while others had a guilty conscience.
To protect these people’s safety, base soldiers acted as bodyguards, making those with ulterior motives not dare to have any intentions, staying honestly in Beizhou until the day of departure.
"In the past few days, it has been Beizhou’s negligence that made everyone worried. As a gesture of apology, our in-charge has sent a small gift to everyone, hoping for your forgiveness."
A researcher, on behalf of Ji Ning, handed each person a beautifully packaged gift bag.
Someone eager opened it on the spot and found two sealed bottles of superpower potion inside.
It was one of the spotlight products at the investment fair this time.
Unfortunately, only two companies won the global agency rights, one being a pharmaceutical group controlled by Huazhou, the other a pharmaceutical company held by the South Continent Vis family.
Even if other continents had sufficient financial resources, they were not eligible to bid.
This product was given gratis to these two companies, but you can’t complain, because the research team was Huazhou people.
As ships from various continents docked one after another, all families boarded and left.
Quell Vis couldn’t understand Ji Ning’s actions, "Why not keep those people?"
They had confirmed those families had ties with the Eternal Life Sect, it was a chance to catch them all, but Ji Ning let them go back.
Aren’t you afraid they’ll figure out Beizhou’s situation this time and send someone to assassinate you?
Ji Ning looked at the scattered red dots on the screen in her hand, saying calmly, "How can you fish without letting them go?"
"Aren’t you afraid they’ll send more people?"
"If so, it’ll be a feast of fried fish."
Quell Vis felt the faint energy waves emanating from her, knowing she had the intent to kill.
Huazhou was under her control; the Eternal Life Sect members could not enter easily, but the Outer Continent was different. Only by attracting their attention to Beizhou, a neutral continent, could they be wiped out.
But this method was also very dangerous; who knew if those madmen would choose to perish together?
Before the Divine Domain opens, he didn’t want any complications.
"Ji Ning, as someone chosen by the gods, you shouldn’t focus your energy on such trivial matters."
"Do you think the Eternal Life Sect is a trivial matter?"
"Whether it’s trivial or not, the priority now is to understand all the energy rules inside the Star Stone as soon as possible. Only then can you become a true god."
"Become a god? Vis, are you hiding something from me?"
