Chapter 298: Secret Meeting of the Ji Family

In a secret chamber of the Ji Family main estate, several middle-aged people were looking at a list before them.

Although these few people all appeared to be middle-aged, the aura they emitted was enough to make one feel a series of palpitations, far beyond what any Innate Expert could compare to. Clearly, these people were all Golden Core powerhouses. And the list before them was precisely the one Lingyun had left for the various Elders of the Ji Family at the time.

As the Young Master of the Ji Family, Ji Haueyue naturally received the attention of countless people. The Elder who brought Ji Haueyue back this time actually said they had encountered someone capable of dispelling the World-Extinguishing Blood Curse and even brought back a list, which had drawn out even some of the reclusive Elders of the Ji Family.

"Old Six, what is your take on the items on this list?" asked the middle-aged man who appeared the most composed among the group.

"It is simply unbelievable; I think we have truly encountered a master this time. At first glance, these items do not seem special, and they do not even seem to have anything to do with the curse in Haueyue's body, but if they are combined in a certain special way, I fear they truly can restrain the World-Extinguishing Blood Curse." The man addressed as Old Six looked at the list in his hand, a flash of admiration crossing his eyes. "Moreover, this is only the part I can understand. As for the rest, although I do not know what they are for, they are also inextricably linked to the World-Extinguishing Blood Curse."

Hearing the man's words, a flash of joy crossed the eyes of everyone present. The man addressed as Old Six, although not the strongest or the oldest among them, was the most knowledgeable person present. Back in the day, he had been the closed-door disciple of an extremely powerful ancestor of the Ji Family, traveling far and wide with that ancestor and seeing many things. After that ancestor went into seclusion, he became one of the last forces of the Ji Family. The purple light barrier that had previously blocked the ghost on Ji Haueyue's body had come from his hand.

"Furthermore, judging from this list, we still owe this person a massive favor!"

"A massive favor? What does that mean?"

"Do you think the items on this list are everything needed to dispel the World-Extinguishing Blood Curse? That would be too naive. These items all serve an auxiliary role; the true core items are likely not even written on this paper by that person," Ji Wen said. "Moreover, the items not written on this paper are likely truly rare in this world. For that person to collect these items, he will likely have to pay a huge amount of effort and price."

"Old Six, in your opinion, what kind of sacred person is this Lingyun? To be able to solve something that even the ancestors found extremely thorny?" a middle-aged woman asked. "You must know, according to what Xiao Xuan Zi said, that person's strength is only at the Xiantian Ultimate."

"The most important point is, that person has no relation to us, so why would he put in such great effort to help us? That person said it was for that little girl from the Chen Family, but I do not believe that this point alone could make him pay such a huge price for Haueyue," another Ji Family Elder also said.

"Regardless, we must still collect these items. As for what purpose the other party has, with our Ji Family's current strength, what is there to fear!" the leading man said slowly.

Hearing this person's words, everyone present revealed a smile. The Ji Family was a family that had been passed down for thousands of years. In these thousands of years of time, they had experienced many great storms and waves; even crises of annihilation were not something they had never encountered, but they had all survived them. Their formidable family foundation was their true source of confidence.

"There is one more matter, regarding the Black Mountain Oni King." Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present turned serious.

"I suspect that this time the Black Mountain Oni King attacked the Su Family while Haueyue was a guest there was not a simple matter. It is impossible for the Black Mountain Oni King not to have known that our Ji Family's Young Master was a guest at the Su Family!" the leading elder said, tapping his fingers on the table.

"Does Big Brother mean that someone instigated this?" A cold glint flashed in the middle-aged woman's eyes.

"Haueyue's body is deteriorating day by day, and we have even said he might not live past eighteen. Under these circumstances, it is not incomprehensible that those below have developed different thoughts. After all, many people are eyeing that position!" A mocking smile curled the corner of the man's mouth.

"Damn it, Big Brother, do you know which little brat did this? I want to beat him until even you wouldn't recognize him!" A hot-tempered man slammed the table, making the items on it jump. In the Ji Family, fratricide was the ultimate taboo.

"Old Four, why is your temper still so explosive? This matter is not as simple as you think." One of them patted the man's shoulder.

"Old Four, I know you are angry, but this matter really cannot be handled so rashly. After all, we are still one family; we cannot be too ruthless. However, we do not have that concern regarding the Black Mountain Oni King. Leave the matter of the Black Mountain Oni King to you; you must make him know the majesty of our Ji Family."

"Alright, leave this matter to me!" The man patted his chest and then quickly left the place.

"Old Three, leave the matter of rectifying the internal affairs of the family to you. The rest of you will come with me to collect the items on the list; we must complete this matter within half a year. Now, as we are at the prelude to a great change in heaven and earth, we must prepare to deal with the future changes in the world during this time! Old Three, I hope that when we return, I see a Ji Family that is like an iron barrel!"

"Yes!" Everyone present nodded.

Just as the members of the Ji Family were discussing the matter of Lingyun, in another Villa, others were also planning something.

"I say, William, are you a piece of trash? We have been in this country for so long, and you still haven't found the trace of the holy object that the Pope asked us to find!" Daisy looked at William before her with an unhappy face.

William lowered his head, a flash of cold light in his eyes: "Your Holiness the Saintess, I have tried my best during this time, but I have never been able to find the thing we are looking for. I think perhaps our direction in searching for the item is wrong; this item is not on her or her friends, but rather appears on the people around her."

"That is not impossible. Then I will leave this matter to you to handle. If you cannot even handle this, you know the consequences!" Daisy revealed a strange smile toward William.

"Understood." William clenched his fists and then quickly left the place.

After William left, a look of disgust appeared on Daisy's face: "He is just a pretty boy, yet he dares to put on a face before me. After this mission is completed, I will let you see what Hell is!"

Just as she was talking to herself, William, who had just gone out, actually returned. Daisy quickly put away her expression and looked at William coldly: "Didn't I tell you to go investigate the information on the holy object? Why have you returned!"

"Your Holiness the Saintess, I just received a report from my subordinates saying that they have discovered the trace of the holy object. This is the information I just received." William quickly handed the bag in his hand to Daisy.

Daisy took the bag and pulled out a stack of papers from it. The person on the papers was none other than Shui Yunyue, who possessed one of Lingyun's Insight Crystals.

"The thing hanging on this woman's chest is the holy object. Although it looks different from what the Pope described, the instrument left by the Pope for detecting holy objects reacted to it," William said.

"After all, it is a holy object; it is not strange for its color to change. However, the information says this woman is from the Shui Family, which is a bit troublesome," Daisy said, frowning.

"As for that, this woman is currently not in the Shui Family, but is attending classes at Huaxia University. If we seize this opportunity, we might be able to snatch this item from her hands. Looking at her appearance, she does not seem to understand the value of this item," William said.

"Very well, go arrange it immediately. We must obtain this item without anyone discovering us. Be careful; this place is the political center of Huaxia, and there will definitely be no shortage of experts. Our manpower is limited, so we absolutely cannot have any mishaps!" Daisy pondered for a moment and gave the order decisively.

"Yes!" William responded and left quickly.
