Xie Qiang's tragic death shocked over ten thousand residents of Pangu Town!
No one could accept that a kind-hearted, helpful, and benevolent person would be murdered!
And have their head severed!
Everyone found the news unbearable!
They spontaneously set up a mourning hall!
Hired a brass band, intending to send Xie Qiang off in this way!
After all, Pangu Town was not a large place!
And Xie Qiang had helped so many people!
Especially when he was young, the electrical lines in Pangu Town were aging, but whoever had a power outage or any problem at home!
A simple call was enough, and even if Xie Qiang's wife had just served dinner, he would be the first to help the town residents replace lines and solve difficulties!
Countless similar incidents occurred!
------
Night fell!
The boisterous mourning hall gradually quieted down a bit!
But many town residents still came to pay their respects!
Chen Nan sat quietly before Xie Qiang's urn!
In front of him was a bucket of loose white wine!
He drank silently!
Fulfilling the promise made with Xie Qiang to have a drink together next time they met!
At midnight!
Accompanied by a strange cold wind!
Xie Qiang's vengeful spirit appeared in the mourning hall!
His face full of pain and reluctance, he looked at his children keeping vigil!
He called their names, wanting to embrace them!
But humans and ghosts are in separate realms!
"Uncle Xie, if you wish to speak with them, I can help you fulfill your wish!"
Suddenly, Xie Qiang heard Chen Nan's voice!
At this moment, he remembered that Chen Nan was a cultivator!
He shook his head and said helplessly, "Forget it, rather than let them experience another farewell, this way... is good enough!"
Chen Nan said, "I received a call from the laboratory this afternoon. The virus found in the Siberian tiger can successfully block and kill the hepatitis B virus!"
"We have overcome the first hurdle!"
"The next step is to produce the special medicine and then conduct live trials!"
Xie Qiang's eyes were filled with tears, "This is truly good news!"
"You are right, this is indeed good news, but how wonderful it would be if you heard this good news while you were alive!" Chen Nan tilted his head and drank the strong liquor in his bowl!
"Chen Nan, this is not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself!" Xie Qiang sighed softly, he could see Chen Nan was burdened by his death!
Chen Nan's eyes were complex, "I have always wondered, if I had killed Fan Ruyan in the Greater Khingan Range earlier, would you not have suffered such a devastating disaster?"
Xie Qiang said dismissively, "But you didn't kill her, and that is the biggest difference between you!"
"You are not the kind of cold-blooded and unfeeling person!"
"So, why do you torment yourself over the mistakes of others?"
"If you really do this, wouldn't it play into the schemer's hands?"
"Her killing me, wasn't it just to make you feel guilty and sad?"
A sharp light shone in Chen Nan's eyes, Xie Qiang's words enlightened his mind and made his heart clear as a mirror!
"Uncle Xie, I know what I need to do now!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely make the Fan family pay a heavy price!"
"Do you have any last words?"
Xie Qiang hesitated for a moment and said, "If possible, I hope you can take care of these two siblings for me!"
Chen Nan said solemnly, "That is my duty!"
Xie Qiang looked at his children with lingering reluctance, "I should go now!"
"Uncle Xie, I can help you reincarnate!"
Chen Nan formed a hand seal, and a force of merit shot out, landing on Xie Qiang's vengeful spirit!
Although he knew that keeping the power of merit could increase his strength, he still hoped that Xie Qiang could be reincarnated into a good family in his next life!
Of course, the merit he gave Xie Qiang was not much!
Only half!
After all, he was currently a soul, and giving too much could easily lead to his soul scattering!
As the Gate of Reincarnation appeared in Chen Nan's palm, Xie Qiang revealed a simple and honest smile, "Chen Nan, take care!" Saying this, he flew into it, truly ending this life!
"Just received news, the experts dispatched by the Fan family are about to arrive in Pangu Town, with a total of nine Foundation Establishment stage powerhouses!" Li Mu walked over!
Chen Nan looked at the haggard siblings and stood up to walk outside!
They were already sad enough!
He did not want them to be frightened in the slightest!
Just as he and Li Mu reached the entrance of Pangu Town, they saw two black RVs driving over!
Besides the drivers, there were nine Foundation Establishment realm experts in the cars!
Three of them were at the peak of the sixth layer of Foundation Establishment!
The remaining six had reached the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, and one even at the great perfection of the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment!
"You are Chen Nan?"
The nine Foundation Establishment experts also saw Chen Nan. After making the drivers stop, they all got out of the cars!
The old man leading them had white hair, a thin build, and withered, leathery wrinkles on his face, giving him an extremely sinister impression!
"You don't have three heads and six arms, so why are you so audacious as to provoke the Fan family's authority?" an old man at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment sneered repeatedly!
"Perhaps he thinks life is long and wants to take a shortcut!"
Without exception!
Everyone looked at Chen Nan with disdain!
The white-haired old man shook his head dismissively, "Don't underestimate this kid. Although he is arrogant, he has the right to be arrogant!"
"If I don't say it, would any of you believe he possesses the early stage cultivation of the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment?"
As soon as these words were spoken!
Those who had previously mocked Chen Nan fell silent in unison!
Their eyes were filled with apprehension!
With his young age and early ninth layer Foundation Establishment cultivation, if they didn't have a ninth layer Foundation Establishment great perfection expert among them, they would be no match for him!
"The early ninth layer Foundation Establishment cultivation is indeed impressive, but we have Senior Tong Lan. With your great perfection Foundation Establishment cultivation, you can destroy this child with a flick of your hand!"
"Exactly, Senior Tong Lan possesses the strength of great perfection Foundation Establishment. What kind of waves can a mere junior at the early ninth layer Foundation Establishment stir up before you?"
Everyone mocked Chen Nan while flattering Tong Lan!
Tong Lan said indifferently, "Chen Nan, old man, I don't wish to bully the young. As long as you cripple your own cultivation, I can take you back to the Fan family, and perhaps you can save your life!"
"Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Chen Nan: "Just you?"
"Is that... not enough?" Tong Lan unleashed a terrifying surge of true qi, like a primordial beast opening its slumbering eyes!
The aura he exuded made space tremble!
It also made the eight Foundation Establishment mid and late-stage experts feel as if their throats were being choked, making it difficult even to breathe!
Chen Nan shook his head, "I thought the Fan family would send that Golden Core stage expert, but I didn't expect to send you bunch of ants!"
"I know you'll be unconvinced and even furious when I call you ants!"
"But I will let you understand my strength!"
As soon as his voice fell!
Nine swords roared out from within him!
They lined up above his head, emitting a cold and powerful aura!
Tong Lan exclaimed, "Holy crap, this guy has a spirit artifact, run!!!"
