Chapter 168 Echo of Destiny

Jiang Hou didn't like socializing, so after saying hello, he took a drink and went to the corner with Wang Yanfeng.

"Marquis Jiang, your identity as a sixth-level transcendental being somewhat surprised your uncle." Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Wang Yanfeng's face was full of smiles.

For a family like theirs, having a high-level extraordinary person in the family means a lot.

Although Lord Jiang is only his nephew and the two have only known each other for two days, the unbreakable blood relationship makes them naturally close emotionally.

As for the problem of extraordinary people being contaminated and out of control, no one actually cares.

Ordinary people are still subject to birth, aging, sickness and death, traffic and various accidents including natural disasters. Who can guarantee 100% that they will live to see tomorrow's sunrise?
Jiang Hou shook his head: "I was just lucky at the time. I managed to awaken successfully by chance. Later, I joined the Heavenly Punishment and my strength 'slowly' improved to where it is now."

Without dwelling on the fact that Lord Jiang had 'hidden' the extraordinary people, Wang Yanfeng pondered and said, "From your earlier conversation with Director Su, Lord Jiang, it seems that you also noticed that there was something strange about my sister's and their deaths."

Jiang Hou nodded: "After I came here to sweep the tomb this time, I asked the Sky Punishment Division of the Demon Sea to investigate the data from that year and noticed some anomalies."

"At the same time, I found out that you guys are also investigating this matter. That Bai Jia is in your hands, right? Did he tell me who ordered him to do this?"

Lord Jiang would definitely not say that he asked someone to investigate the Wang family's information and coincidentally discovered that there was something wrong with his parents' death.

"You did well."

Wang Yanfeng patted Jiang Hou on the shoulder, somewhat relieved, and then nodded and said, "The driver is indeed in my hands. He is currently being held in an abandoned factory in the suburbs and is being guarded by Mr. Nuke."

"By the way, Mr. Nuke is one of the extraordinary people who came with us this time. He is in the middle stage of the fourth stage."

"In addition to Nuke, another consultant of the group, Mr. Karko, who is in the middle stage of the fifth level, followed your grandfather to the Macro Islands."

As a multinational group, the Wang family naturally also recruits high-level extraordinary people to join.

With the support of a seventh-level researcher from the Ancient God Research Institute and sufficient monetary rewards, there are always some extraordinary people who don't like fighting and killing who are tempted.

It was just similar to the information obtained from Tianfa, the driver knew nothing.

The deal to kill Jiang Hou's parents was made by someone secretly contacting them over the phone, but more than ten years have passed and the phone number and owner cannot be found.

Therefore, the target can only be identified through the source of funds.

Anyone who can pay three million to hire someone to kill someone must have assets of at least hundreds of millions. Therefore, unless there is a natural disaster or something unexpected, the person behind this must still be alive and living a comfortable life.

"Your grandfather contacted me this afternoon and said that he had already made connections and there would be results by tomorrow at the latest." When he said this, Wang Yanfeng's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Tomorrow?"

Jiang Hou nodded slowly: "Remember to notify me as soon as possible."

Just as Jiang Hou and Wang Yanfeng were standing in the shadows and talking, in the shade of a tree in the distance, Li Mengwu was sitting in front of a small white table with a dazed look in her eyes.

Some distant memories emerged in my mind.

In the research room separated by transparent glass, staff members in white coats are busy.

In the empty office room, a little girl in a white princess dress sat on a stool, weaving something with several colorful ribbons in her hands.

At this time, the office door opened and a beautiful woman in her twenties with an intellectual temperament walked in.

Looking at the bored little girl on the stool, the woman smiled and said gently: "Xiao Wu, your mother left you here again."

The little girl nodded obediently and said nothing.

The woman smiled, came to sit next to the little girl, turned on the computer, and said, "Xiaowu, your first grade has been in school for a week. Have you made any good friends?"

The little girl shook her head and said crisply, "No, those people are too stupid. We have nothing in common with them."

The beautiful woman touched the little girl's hair and said, "Xiao Wu, you can't think like that. After all, there are only a few geniuses like you in this world."

"If you look down on this, you will have nothing in common with anyone and you will be very lonely in the future."

"Does loneliness mean doing everything alone?" the little girl asked confusedly.

"No, you're talking about loneliness. Loneliness is a feeling." The beautiful woman shook her head, and a picture emerged in her mind of a little boy sitting by the window, quietly watching the people and cars coming and going outside.

But then the beautiful woman laughed: "You are only seven years old. Aunt Wang is telling you this is a bit profound."

The little girl said confidently: "Although I don't quite understand it now, I will wait a few years and read more books and I will understand what loneliness means." Then she took out the colorful crane she had knitted and said: "Auntie Wang, this is for you."

Looking at the delicate colorful little crane in her hand, the beautiful woman was a little surprised.

After thinking for a while, the beautiful woman took off the lotus pendant around her neck and said, "The research institute will be closed in half a month. Auntie probably won't have the chance to see Xiao Wu in the future."

"I'll give you this pendant."

"Although this thing is not expensive, it is the blessing of peace that Auntie prayed for from the Xianling Taoist Temple. It can protect Xiaowu's safety."

"Auntie, can this really keep me safe?" The little girl held the lotus pendant, a little curious.

"can!"

Li Mengwu slowly lowered her head, looked at the lotus pendant hanging around her neck, then looked at the black-haired young man in the shadows in the distance, lost in thought.

Aunt Wang, the pendant you gave me back then seems to have really protected Xiao Wu!

…………

Jiang Hou only stayed for half an hour, and at eight o'clock he said goodbye to Wang Yanfeng and left.

Driver Wang Yanfeng picked us up and took us to the weapons department in the suburbs.

Seeing Lord Jiang getting off the car, Zong Zheng and Nan Mo, who had joined them, said excitedly, "Lord Jiang, you're here. Your Demon Suppression Pillar looks so powerful after being strengthened."

"Have you looked inside?"

"seen it already."

As they were talking, the two of them passed through several gates and arrived at a giant factory building that was more than 200 meters high.

There, the weapons department director Li Yong and the seventh-level strongman Ye Hong stood in front of a huge black pillar that was placed horizontally on the "shelf", 150 meters long and 12 meters in diameter.

The appearance of the strengthened and upgraded Tiangang Demon-Suppressing Pillar has not changed much, it just looks bigger and more domineering.

At the same time, some red runes like clouds and mist were engraved on the surface, winding around and emitting wisps of materialized heavy breath, pressing the air to almost solidify.

Li Yong introduced: "Colonel Jiang, all the extraordinary materials have been perfectly integrated according to your requirements."

"The overall strength of the Demon Suppression Pillar has reached the seventh level, which is enough to withstand the infusion of domain power, including the gigantic ability you requested, which has also been successfully integrated."

"As long as you inject enough energy and activate the internal gigantic force, you can instantly double your length. Do you want to try it?"

"No need, I believe in your strength, Minister Li." Jiang Hou touched the cold steel pillar with satisfaction, and suddenly he felt a vague connection.

"Okay." Li Yong, who originally wanted to see Jiang Hou's transformation into a giant beast, felt a little regretful and took out the black bracelet.

"Colonel Jiang, this is your storage ring. The space inside has also expanded."

Jiang Hou took the storage ring and nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work." Then he put the storage ring containing his spiritual imprint on his watch and pressed the Demon-Suppressing Pillar.

Buzz! A strong spatial fluctuation spread out, covering the black pillar.

As Li Yong and the other two watched, the huge, heavy black steel column instantly disappeared out of thin air.

Boom! The huge pillar disappeared instantly, causing the internal and external air pressure to explode, forming a strong wind that made the hair of several people fly.

Ye Hong exclaimed: "Colonel Jiang's weapon makes my scalp tingle. Once the power of the domain is infused, the power is unimaginable."

Jiang Hou said modestly: "No, I am just a little stronger, but you are far inferior to General Ye who has achieved domain mastery."

After exchanging a few words of business flattery, Jiang Hou and his two companions left the Weapon Department and took a car to the large passage of Mohai City, which was located more than ten kilometers outside the suburbs.

The Tiangang Demon-Suppressing Pillar has been upgraded, and with the addition of the Cangming Volcano, Lord Jiang is full of confidence at this moment.

The rewards of killing an eighth-level evil god are incomparable. The body of the evil god containing divinity is priceless, and there are also ancient ruins where the evil god is entrenched.

There might be ancient artifacts and natural treasures whose divinity has not been completely lost.
