The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife Chapter 1969: Ji Family Annihilated
Previously on The Bodyguard King’s CEO Wife...
The residence of the Ji Family is enormous, divided into four gates: east, south, west, and north, resembling the scale of a palace. Ji Feng betrayed the Ji Family, defecting to the Chen Family, opening the East Gate, and breaking the formation, allowing the Chen Family and mutants to drive straight in. The middle courtyard and inner residence of the Ji Family became the "main battlefield," and there are several passages leading to the middle courtyard. Ye Shikai dispatched the people from the Netherworld Palace to guard them, worried about being flanked by the mutants.
"Boss, we’re fighting so intensely inside. Won’t the outside people notice the commotion?" Demoness asked in reply.
"The outside of the Ji residence is also set up with an array, not just for defense but also to isolate from the outside. Even if there’s chaos inside, it won’t be detectable outside," explained Ye Shikai.
"You all hurry up and go. If the disparity in strength is too great, retreat quickly."
"Alright, we will go now."
Ye Shikai had almost all his warriors and Hidden Guards dispatched, while he went alone to the middle courtyard.
"Why are there so many mutants?" Ye Shikai was the first to arrive at the middle courtyard, but dozens of mutants had already rushed in. Some Ji Family guards were desperately resisting, but the bodies of the mutants were tough, not even the weapons of cultivators could pierce them. The mutants’ attacks were fierce; when encountering resistance from the Ji Family guards, they would massacre them with ease.
"Kill." Ye Shikai wielded the You Xi Sword and the Netherworld Blade, charging forward directly, slicing off a mutant’s head in an instant. The few Hidden Guards behind him were also elites from the Netherworld Palace. Though few in number, they managed to hold off dozens of mutants.
"White Mist Army, attack." Chen Ligong also arrived at the middle courtyard with the White Mist Army.
"Oh my God, what kind of monsters are these." When Ji Tao saw these half-human, half-beast monsters, he couldn’t help but be startled. These monsters were over two meters tall, some had ox-heads and horse-faces, others had gigantic insect wings, looking terrifying and incredibly formidable.
If this were within the Kunlun Mountain ruins, Ji Tao could understand, as it’s no ordinary place. Even a group of monsters wouldn’t be strange. But this was Yanjing; how could there be so many half-human, half-beast monsters?
"They were originally humans, but they have been modified into mutants," Ji Qian explained.
"The Chen Family, being a reputable family of Huaxia, actually committed such atrocious acts." Ji Tao was astonished. He couldn’t have imagined that the Chen Family secretly nurtured these monsters, and naturally, no one else expected this either.
"For power, for the ambition to annex the Huaxia families," Ji Qian said coldly. Without using such methods, simply recruiting and cultivating cultivators wouldn’t allow any family to annex others. Moreover, nurturing a cultivator requires a vast amount of time and resources. Once the structure of the Huaxia families is formed, it’s difficult to be shaken.
The White Mist Army and the elders of the Ji Family joined the battle, finally eliminating all those mutants. The mutants, unafraid of death and strictly following orders, fought to the death without retreat.
"Finally taken care of." Ye Shikai sighed in relief, but before he could rest, a group of people charged in from the East Gate.
"Ji Feng, how dare you betray the Ji Family." Seeing the person, Ji Tao was furious. Ji Feng, this traitor, had opened the East Gate formation, letting the wolves in.
"If I didn’t do it, I’d eventually be killed by that girl Ji Qian. I might as well give it a shot. In the future, I will become the Family Head of the Ji Family."
"Dream on."
People from the Chen Family and elites from the Shadow Organization stepped forward. Although the Ji Family had many experts internally, they suffered heavy losses from the sudden mutant attack. The Chen Family invaders swarmed in, putting them at a disadvantage.
Ye Shikai looked around but didn’t see Chen Yuxin, who was the mastermind behind everything, yet she was the only one not present at the scene.
"Elders of the Ji Family, heed the order."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Form the array."
"Yes."
"Yes."
All the elders stepped forward, channeling their Inner Strength, forming an unbreakable array in the middle courtyard. Some Chen Family members attempted a direct assault but were stopped outside. The Ji Family’s formation was intricate, and Ye Shikai had heard of it. Though heavily damaged now, their strength was still formidable.
"Hmph, I expected you would do this." Xue Ming waved his hand, and members of the Shadow Organization stepped forward, taking out a black vial from their pockets. Opening the cap, countless black "bugs" flew out from the bottle, heading toward the Ji family crowd. These insects flew over the array, landing among the people.
"Not good, they’re poisonous insects." Wuyan shouted loudly, "Everyone, retreat quickly."
Before the crowd could react, several Ji Family elders collapsed, wailing in agony. Most of them were in the late Divine Separation stage, and some were experts in the Body Integration Realm, yet they were defenseless against these insects. Once bitten, they quickly fell and died.
Ye Shikai was well aware that these were the Chen Family’s "synthetic poison insects." Being bitten was a certain death. These were the insects Ye Shikai had handed back to Chen Yuxin. He knew the consequences but it was a necessary expedient to save Ji Tao.
"Family Head, look above." Chen Ligong pointed to the sky, where numerous shadows circled, diving down like eagles at random.
"It’s the Mothmen." Ye Shikai shouted loudly. Before everyone could react, the Mothmen had descended, entering the crowd and launching a massacre. The remaining Ji Family guards fought desperately, but only a mere dozen elders remained, and the array was effortlessly broken.
"The Family Head orders, leave no one from the Ji Family alive, kill." Feng Ling coldly instructed, as everyone charged fiercely.
"Damn it, I’ll fight them to the death..."
"Mr. Ji, we’re at an absolute disadvantage now. Continuing to fight is meaningless. We should withdraw from the residence first," Ye Shikai advised.
"Yes, Father, let’s leave here first. The Chen Family comes in force; we need to retreat and plan from a long-term perspective," Ji Qian also advised.
"Alright, we’ll... leave here." Ji Tao, helpless, could only command the remaining people to retreat from the Ji Family. As a proud Family Head, being beaten like a stray dog was undoubtedly a disgrace. The Ji Family had remained under the protection of their ancestors, only to flee hastily now.
"Family Head, let’s exit from the West Gate. Many Chen Family members have already infiltrated the residence." Chen Ligong led the White Mist Army in escorting Ji Tao out. From tonight, Huaxia would undergo great upheaval, marking the beginning of the end for the Huaxia families...
Ye Shikai signaled, directing Nightmare Ghost and others to retreat one after another. The Ji Family was no longer a place they could remain.
