After removing the roadblocks, the group drove towards Refugee Camp No. 1.
Refugee Camp No. 1 is very large, but wherever there are people, there will be conflicts. Even in this place that temporarily accommodates a large number of outsiders, there are still divisions of power.
After making several inquiries, the group found the location of the Ji family's residence.
"Is that the Ji family's residence just ahead?" Jiang Yuan asked, gazing at the vast estate.
The refugee camp is just what it's called, but the actual conditions are no worse than in the city.
The weak live in tin shacks, while the strong and powerful families still occupy the buildings that existed before the refugee camp. For example, the Ji family occupies one of the top ten prime locations in Huanjiang District.
However, unlike the South City, the refugee camp lacked supplies. Rice and vegetables were extremely scarce, not to mention basic infrastructure such as water and electricity. It was basically just the empty shell of the city before the disaster, and the number of empty shells was very small. Most of the refugees from the North City could only live in temporary tin shacks.
“The Ji family used to own a lot of businesses in Beicheng. Even if the disaster destroyed Beicheng, the Ji family would still have a lot of resources!” Ning Yanlan saw Jiang Yuan’s surprise, so she explained.
"Night Cloud, activate the aura, let's charge straight in!" Zhu Penghai glanced at the manor.
"I'll clear the way!" Xiong Yong, now a fourth-tier warrior, became even more arrogant. With a shield charge, he smashed open the iron gate. Twenty points of strength were comparable to an armored vehicle, so breaking through the gate was a piece of cake for him.
In an instant, seven people and two pigs rushed into the Ji family manor.
Click click click!
All the doors and windows were opened, and dozens of men dressed in training clothes jumped out of the manor.
"Spiritual Judgment!" Ning Yanlan's anger had long been ready to explode, and in an instant, twelve spiritual swords shot out.
"Stop!"
An aged voice rang out from inside, and the men in training clothes immediately became solemn, all of them stopping their movements.
But Ning Yanlan was not about to be intimidated by a few words. She shot twelve spirit swords at the twelve people in front. Although the targets were not fatal, they would still seriously injure anyone who hit them.
"Little girl, don't have such a bad temper!"
An old man strolled out leisurely, his huge shield blocking all the spirit swords, but the shield itself was also pierced.
"Human, fifth-order psionic type, psionic power: fifty-six."
"So strong!" Jiang Yuan's eyes narrowed. The old man in front of him was the strongest human he had ever seen, apart from monsters.
"You kidnapped my sister and then accused me of having a bad temper!" Ning Yanlan completely changed, her eyes flashing with murderous intent as she glared at the old man. "Ice Shards!"
"Wait a minute, who said we arrested your sister?" The old man had a calm smile on his face.
Ning Yanlan held the ice shard in her hand, ready to strike. She said coldly, "Give Xiao Xin back to me!"
The old man gently pressed down with his palm, and all the men in training clothes took five steps back. "My Ji family has always been upright and honest. This time, it was indeed my good-for-nothing grandson who broke the rules. However, your sister was just a guest in the Ji family and did not receive any bad treatment!"
"Let Jinghui come out!" the old man beckoned.
With an arrogant and unruly look on his face, Ji Jinghui walked out with a roguish air. He said in a displeased tone, "Grandpa, these guys are just fourth-tier cultivators. Our Ji family can wipe them out with a flick of our wrist. Why bother reasoning with them!"
"Is that so?" Ning Yanlan looked directly at Ji Jinghui.
"Jinghui, you've already lost, so what? You can't even accept defeat, can you?" the old man scolded.
"Grandpa, where did I lose? That guy cheated and tricked me, a power-type, to fight a seventh-tier black-horned boar. Of course I couldn't win!" Ji Jinghui protested. "If anyone lost, it was the black-horned boar!"
The old man shook his head, then looked at Jiang Yuan, "If you don't mind, you are welcome to come and sit in my residence."
"If you don't hand over Xiao Xin, then we'll have to resort to force!" Ning Yanlan wasn't buying it; who knew if sitting down in the mansion would lead her into a trap?
"Don't worry, the little girl is just a guest in the house, and she's playing with my granddaughter right now!" the old man said kindly.
"These are your storage rings, and the ancient martial arts techniques are inside!" Ning Yanlan took out the storage rings and held them in her hand. "Didn't you want to exchange them? You can do it now!"
"The Ji family has an ancestral rule that ancient martial arts cannot be passed on to outsiders, which is why my good-for-nothing grandson resorted to such a desperate measure!" The old man was helpless about Ji Jinghui's actions. As a family with a long tradition of martial arts, such behavior was despicable.
"However, the Ji family truly harbors no ill will towards you!" The old man clapped his hands, turned to one of the people beside him, and said, "Bring the little girl out!"
"Yes, Master!"
The man quickly entered the manor, and the old man said again, "I am Ji Xing'an, the head of the Ji family. If you don't want to come to the manor, then I will entertain you in the courtyard!"
"Serve tea!"
The steward, accompanied by several servants, placed tea on the stone table. Ji Xing'an said, "Please have some tea first!"
No one dared to move. Jiang Yuan sneered, "We're here to cause trouble. There's no need for you to be so polite now. Just say what your purpose is!"
"Haha, there is indeed another reason why I invited you all here today!" Ji Xing'an nodded and smiled.
"Master, the person has been brought!"
A group of people walked out, including Xiao Xin, who was accompanied by a little girl of about eight or nine years old.
"Xiao Xin!" Ning Yanlan shouted loudly.
"Smoke..." Xiao Xin was about to blurt it out, but immediately changed her mind, "Sister, I'm here!"
"Let her go!" Ji Xing'an gestured.
"Grandpa! They don't even have their storage rings!" Ji Jinghui exclaimed anxiously.
"Here you go!" Ning Yanlan tossed out her storage ring.
