Chapter 294: Chapter 297 Heaven’s Eye

“That’s not right…” Bastet analyzed the situation carefully. “She’s not the true nine-tailed fox…”

“It’s just that she has the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox…”

Even so, it was still a very frightening matter.

The Nine-tailed Fox was an ancient Saint Beast.

Even if it only had a little of its bloodline, it was still an incredible great demon!

However, such a great demon lived in seclusion here.

This matter was unusual.

“It seems that Master’s family has a great secret…” Bastet thought about it and didn’t dare to think about it anymore.

Because some things, even if she thought about it, it was considered blasphemy.

That was an extremely dangerous matter.

Once they went deeper, it was very likely to cause a catastrophe!

……

The group of people entered the Ling family’s ancestral house.

The old woman walked very skillfully to the altar, lit up the incense sticks, and inserted them one by one in a certain order.

It seemed that the sense of the ritual ceremony was very strong.

Ling PingAn had seen it many times, so he knew that this kind of ceremony was carried out according to the Ling family’s ancestors birth characters, in conjunction with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

In the past, he was baffled.

But now, he already knew from the genealogy that the Ling family was once a fraud family in Jingchu.

So, it was not surprising that there is such a complicated ceremony.

What was strange was that it was already the middle of the 28th century of the Republic era, yet there was still such a complicated ceremony passed down among the people.

However, he did not think too much about it.

He didn’t even ask about the meaning behind the ceremony.

The reason was very simple. According to Ling PingAn’s speculation, his ancestors were probably from the era of the Gaozong. They couldn’t survive in Jingchu anymore and came to Guangnan to make a living.

People who were far away from their homeland would treat the ancient traditions and ceremonies of their hometown naturally as some sort of spiritual sustenance to comfort their homesickness.

As a venerable, of course, he could not ask about it.

Anyway, these events were more than two hundred years ago and it was in past.

Didn’t they see that the Federal Empire, which had fought to the death in the hundred-year war, made peace with Butania a long time ago?

After the old woman finished this matter, she bowed deeply to the divine master tablets and then prayed, “My Lords, the Young Master has finally grown up…”

“The Ling family has a descendant…”

As she spoke, she bowed deeply again.

Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang also bowed, their eyes turning red.

Ling PingAn couldn’t stand this kind of atmosphere. He didn’t like this kind of scene, so he turned his head away.

Fortunately, this kind of atmosphere was over soon.

The old woman, Uncle Zhang, and Uncle Wang stood up and looked at Ling PingAn.

“Young Master… Are you staying at home today?” The old woman asked.

Ling PingAn shook his head with a smile and said, “The bookstore in the city still has to open…”

“Oh…” The old woman was a little disappointed, but she didn’t force him.

Such things couldn’t be forced.

Because the Young Master had grown up!

He had grown up.

The Young Master who had grown up couldn’t be bound by anything or rules.

He was already him who had grown up.

Thus, the old woman smiled and said, “It’s true also…business is important…”

Ling PingAn also smiled.

He had a closer relationship with Grandma Hu compared to the others.

They had been together for a long time.

He helped the old woman to sit down.

“Young Master…” the old woman said, “Since you’re not going to stay here tonight… then it’s better to meet everyone…”

She looked at Ling PingAn. ” I know that Young Master doesn’t like that kind of old-fashioned relationship…”

“So, let’s meet and be friends!”

Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang were standing behind the women and their expressions changed slightly.

However, it was obvious that the old woman was the leader among them.

Therefore, they didn’t object to her immediately.

Ling PingAn laughed when he heard that. “As you wish, grandmother…”

As long as they did not kowtow to each other every time they met, there was no harm in seeing them.

After all, the close ties between the various families that had existed for two hundred years could not be easily abandoned by anyone else.

In the past, Ling PingAn was not willing because he did not want to take on responsibilities and obligations.

However, if it was just making a friend, it was fine to meet and get to know each other.

Perhaps they could even play underground games together in the future!

The old woman smiled immediately, “Then it’s decided…”

Ling PingAn nodded.

……

Wang Shan put down the phone in his hand, and his expression was a little strange.

“The old man asked us to go back…”

He looked at his two brothers in front of him and said seriously, “Moreover, we have to hurry back in two hours…”

“If we don’t go back now, the old man said that we no need to go back in the future anymore…”

When his two brothers in front of him heard this, their expressions became interesting immediately.

In the Federal Empire, loyalty and filial piety had been the mainstream moral values for thousands of years.

For thousands of years, this value had already sunk deep into their bone marrow and genes.

It also shaped the entire country.

Metropolitan Territory, the Western Song dynasty, the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou dynasty were all connected by common values and morals.

Under such circumstances, the entire society and the country were naturally more inclined to recognize and deepen their traditional moral values.

Thus, the people of the Federation would subconsciously agree that if a person was a gentleman, then he must be loyal to the emperor and filial to his parents.

And because of the reform and continuous affirmation of the three generations of Tai Zu, Tai Zong, and Gao Zong, loyalty to the emperor had been equated with loyalty to the people.

Because the emperor was under the command of the heavens, his power legitimacy came from the people who constitute the Gods.

Thus, the concept of loyalty gradually became illusory.

But the concept of filial piety was strengthened.

Thus, a logical chain was formed.

If a person was unfilial, he would be unfaithful, and he must be a traitor!

Since ancient times, the two sides were enemies.

In this society, anyone who was unfilial would dead in a social aspect.

He would have no friends, no partners, and even no enemies.

Everyone would ignore his existence and treat him as air.

This was because people were afraid of being suspected of ‘you have such a good relationship with Thief X, are you a thief too?’.

And such accusations were devastating.

Therefore, Wang Yi, who was the youngest among them, ask, “Big Brother, the old man asked us to return so urgently. Is there anything important?”

Wang Shan chuckled and said, “The young master of the Ling family has finally relented…”

“This old man was so nervous that he asked us to go back and acknowledge him as our master!”

When he said this, Wang Shan’s tone was filled with disdain.

The Ling Family?

This was a family that he had been hearing so much when he was young.

He had been educated since he was young.

You are a servant of the Ling family.

You must serve the Ling family.

You must not disobey the Lord!

Wang Shan remembered that when he was young, there was a time when he was fed up with being talked about. For the first time, he replied defiantly, “Ling family, Ling family… Old Man, why don’t you give my life to the Ling family as well?”

Then, he was slapped into the back room directly by the old man.

He still remembered what the old man looked like at that time.

Spiritual light surrounded his entire body, and his aura was like a hungry tiger that had just come out of its cage.

That was the first time he had seen the strength of his old man.

He also remembered the old man’s lesson from that time. “Remember, if the Ling Family wants your life, you have to give them as well…”

“Because…”

“We were born to be sacrificed on the Ling family’s Altar!”

“This is our fate!”

Ever since then the three Wang brothers left the demon capital.

They established their current foundation with their fist!

It was also because of this that the three Wang brothers were unconvinced.

On what basis were they born to be sacrifices on other people’s altars?

Usually, what would be sacrificed?

Pigs, cows, sheep, birds, and fish!

Sacrifices for their ancestors and gods to enjoy!

However, this also made them have deep interests in the Ling family.

The old man was so strong and so stubborn.

There must be a reason.

Moreover, they gained more knowledge as they ventured out.

They knew that the old man’s strength was at least that of a colonel of the Blackguard!

And such an expert, even in the Blackguard, could hold down an area.

A single person could form an army, sweeping through a thousand troops.

If he was willing to come out and do something, even the Empire would have to pay attention to him.

But he was hiding in the countryside, watching over the ancestral house for the Ling family.

He would clean it three times a day, always be on time and at a fixed point.

Just like serving his ancestors, he served the Ling family’s ancestral house that emptied a long time ago.

He did this just for the Ling family descendant so that he would see a clean ancestral house when he returned for the New Year every year.

There was something wrong with this.

But.

Why?

They did some investigation and knew that the Ling family descendant was just a young man who ran a modest small bookstore in Jiangcheng City.

He was so ordinary.

In fact, ordinary people were even stronger than him!

Wang Shan looked at his two brothers and asked, “Second brother, Third brother, what do you think?”

“Should we go back and greet the young master?”

“We have to go back…” Wang Yi said, “We have to go back…”

“If we don’t go, this old man will kill us!”

There was no doubt about this.

Knowing a father was like knowing a son. They all knew that the Ling family’s old man was more important than their own lives.

If they did not follow the ancestral rules…

The old man would immediately rush to the demon capital.

“But that ‘little young master’…” Wang Yi laughed. “We can just show some respect on the surface…”

“To appease the old man.”

After all, the Ling family had not come to look for them in all these years.

So it was fine to put on a show to make the old man happy.

“But…”Wang Xiao, the second brother frowned and said, “What if ‘Little Young Master’really believes it?”

“If he is making all sorts of requests…”

“What should we do?”

The three brothers had built up such a large foundation in Demon capital.

They had various assets worth billions here, relying on the Federal Empire’s policy towards extraordinary humans.

The reputation of Wang’s Asset Management Group is growing in the Guangnan business community.

In private, they even cooperated with the blackguard to take in large numbers of foreign species and transcendent being.

It was mainly to provide jobs for the foreign species and transcendent being who had just awakened, helping them integrate into society.

Although this matter was purely investment and contribution, it had long-term returns and benefits.

This was because every transcendent was an extremely valuable network and resource.

No one knew what kind of expert a seemingly unremarkable little figure would become in the future!

If one could establish a friendship and relationship with these experts while they were still ignorant.

Then, all their contributions would receive a profound return!

Just like Lu Buwei during the Warring States period.

This was a big deal with rare goods!

And all of these allowed the Wang Brothers to rise into the upper class of Guangnan Society.

Their family’s guests were either representative of the Minister’s Council, celebrities, or even experts of the Blackguard.

But they also understood the old man’s character.

As long as the Ling family needed it, he could give up his lives and offer it with both hands!

Therefore, when they heard Wang Xiao’s words, the other two fell into deep thought.

“Let’s take it one step at a time!” Wang Yi said after a long silence, “If we really can’t…”

“Let’s move to Northern Zhou…”

“Didn’t the Blackguard want to strengthen the management of foreign species and transcendent being in Northern Zhou last time and called for us to send people to support them?”

“Let’s move our headquarters to Northern Zhou and leave an empty shell here…”

“Just take it as making the old man happy…”

As he said this, Wang Yi laughed. “According to what I understood, that little young master is only an ordinary person…”

“Moreover, he’s always been very dutiful…”

“I think he can’t have any excessive demands!”

The other two brothers nodded.

“Let’s set off quickly…” Wang Yi said, “We’ll call for a helicopter and fly straight to our hometown…”

……

The three brothers of the Wang family sat on the helicopter, looking at the roads and bridges that kept passing by.

After dozens of minutes, the helicopter had entered the territory of Jiangcheng City.

As soon as they entered the border, the psionic power warning radar installed on their helicopter had called the police.

A psionic power broadcast with an extremely profound warning was transmitted from the warning radar.

“Serial number 11302A, a helicopter for extraordinaires. You have entered the Federal Empire’s domain of control…”

“I repeat, you have entered the Federal Empire’s domain of control…”

The three brothers looked at each other.

The domain of control?

They were familiar with this.

Under the Blackguard system, all regions in the country were divided into different levels to respond to different risks.

Among them, the control area mechanism belonged to the ‘high-risk state’.

When the Blackguard judged that a certain area was in a serious threat, it would turn on this mechanism.

It would send a warning to all local extraordinaire and foreign species, as well as to all other extraordinaires and foreign species that tried to enter the area.

In the control area, all psionic power activities would be restricted.

“I heard that not long ago, the Ao family of the imperial city suffered a huge setback in Jiangcheng city…”

“The young master of the Ao family was sent to court…” Wang Yi said, “It seems that the legend is true…”

“I’m afraid that something unknown had happened in Jiangcheng City…”

Just as the other two brothers were about to speak, their psionic power sensed a powerful will sweeping over.

This will was ice-cold and merciless, like a god from a mythical grade legend.

Their psionic power simultaneously sensed a pair of eyes looking down at them from the clouds.

After noticing the ID of the credential that they brought along, the pair of eyes closed slowly.

Meanwhile, the three Wang brothers were already sweating profusely.

“Heaven’s eye!” They thought of this divine ability immediately.

‘With my heart as the heart of the heavens, I will act as the Guardian of heaven.’

There was no doubt that Jiangcheng City had an incomparably powerful Blackguard General who was overseeing the city!

This general was incomparably powerful. He made his soul carved into the heavens and earth, monitoring and sensing any psionic power within his range directly.

He transformed himself into a super psionic power warning rada!
