Chapter 2610

The old woman coughed a few more times violently, coughing dark and gloomy as if she was going to cough up her heart and lungs. It took a long time for her to catch her breath. She turned her head and said weakly, “It’s okay, it’s just that I’m a bit older. Thank you, little girl.”

Ji Yao shook her head. Before she could let go of her hand, the old woman’s leg trembled again.

Ji Yao was so flustered that she quickly held her and frowned, saying, “Grandma, let me help you.”

The old woman said, “Thank you, thank you. The little girl is kind-hearted and will surely have a good reward in the future. Cough cough…”

Ji Yao smiled slightly and said, “My master often teaches us disciples to respect the elderly and love the young when we go out. It’s just a little effort.”

Old Ou smiled lightly and said, “The little girl is not bad, and her master is also good at teaching. I wonder which sect the girl comes from？”

Ji Yao shook her head and smiled without answering.

Yang Kai’s eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, “Although respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a virtue, when traveling outside, you must also polish your eyes carefully and not be easily deceived by others. You should know that there are many people in this world who are deceitful, insidious, and sinister. Maybe one day when you do a good deed, you will be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, and that will be helping the evildoers. Granny, don’t you think so?

The old woman’s body trembled involuntarily, and she forced a smile and said, “What this little brother said is right.”

Ji Yao nodded seriously and said, “This disciple has taken note.”

“Disciple?” The old woman was shocked when she heard this, and subtly realized that the master that Ji Yao had mentioned earlier was actually the man standing behind her, which made her feel a little incredible.

“Granny, your earrings are very delicate.” Yang Kai suddenly said something out of the blue.

The old woman was startled and subconsciously touched her earlobe but there was nothing there. She turned her head and forced a smile, saying, “Little brother, you are still young, how could you have been dazzled? At my age, how could I have the nerve to wear any earrings?”

Yang Kai said, “You didn’t wear them today, but you probably wore them yesterday. Your ear holes are very clear. It doesn’t look like you haven’t worn jewelry for a long time.”

His words were full of hidden barbs. Even if Ji Yao was a fool, she could sense that something was amiss. Her heart moved, and she quietly circulated her Emperor Yuan and sent it into the old woman’s body.

The next moment. Ji Yao’s complexion suddenly turned cold. She grabbed the old woman’s arm and said coldly, “Who are you? Why did you deceive me?”

Previously, she hadn’t paid much attention. It was only until now, after a thorough inspection, that she discovered. This seemingly terminally ill old woman actually had an extremely vigorous vitality in her body. The apparent old age was clearly not her true appearance. Everything was disguised by her.

This made Ji Yao angry in her heart. She had just been kind enough to support the old woman. Who would have thought that this old woman actually had ulterior motives? It really made her furious.

The old woman’s cultivation was not high. She was only at the third level of the Dao Source Realm. Being grabbed by Ji Yao like this, how could she still move? All of her Source Power was suppressed in her body and couldn’t circulate. Now she was really panicked. She looked at Ji Yao pleadingly and said in a low voice, “Senior, I have no malicious intentions. I just had no choice but to come up with this desperate plan. I hope senior will be magnanimous and not expose me.”

Ji Yao’s expression moved. She glanced at the martial artists who were on strict guard at the city gate and said, “Are they here for you？”

The old woman nodded silently.

“Why did you think of using me！” Ji Yao asked coldly.

The old woman said, “When Young Master Bai and Miss Yan entered the city earlier, they seemed to be very afraid of you. So…”

Yang Kai raised his brows and said, “Madam Dong really has good eyesight. You can even notice such a small thing.”

When the old woman heard this, her body trembled violently. She looked at Yang Kai in horror and despair and said, “You know me？”

“Madam Dong?” Ji Yao also frowned. not understanding how her master could call out the identity of this old woman at once. As far as she knew, she and her master were coming to Taiping City for the first time. There was no acquaintance here.

Yang Kai said, “I don’t recognize you, but I have heard some things about you from others.”

“What did they… say about me？” The old woman asked in a trembling voice, as if she really wanted to know.

Yang Kai said lightly, “The wife of the head of the Dong family. She stole the family’s town family treasure. The head of the family was furious and asked the strong people in the city lord’s mansion to impose martial law here and search for the whereabouts of Madam Dong. If found, they would quietly arrest her！”

“Stealing the family’s town family treasure…” The old woman smiled bitterly when she heard this. “This charge… I really dare not take it.”

Ji Yao frowned and said, “Is what my master said wrong？”

Madam Dong shook her head and said, “What town family treasure? I have never seen it. The Dong family doesn’t have such a thing at all. I have been married into the Dong family for so many years and I am the wife of the head of the family. If there is any town family treasure, how could I not know.”

“Why are they slandering you like this？” Ji Yao was extremely curious.

Madam Dong said, “Naturally because they want to catch me.”

Ji Yao seemed to want to ask more, but Yang Kai had already waved his hand and said, “Madam Dong, we’re not interested in your affairs. You wanted to take advantage of our going out of the city, and I won’t bother to argue with you. You fend for yourself！”

“This sir…” Madam Dong looked at Yang Kai pleadingly and said, “It was my fault before. I only beg sir to take me away from Taiping City. Your great kindness and virtue, I will surely repay in the future.”

Yang Kai sneered and said, “What can you repay? This young master doesn’t want to get involved in other people’s troubles！”

“Sir…”

“If you say one more word, this young master will capture you and throw you out right now！” Yang Kai looked at her coldly.

Madam Dong immediately shivered. She didn’t doubt that Yang Kai had the ability. Since Ji Yao, who was a disciple, could subdue her instantly, how could Yang Kai, who was the master, be any worse?

She had originally hoped to persuade Yang Kai to help, but it was just wishful thinking.

Turning around dejectedly and standing in the middle of the team, Madam Dong really didn’t dare to say anything more.

“Master, this person’s disguise technique is so brilliant！” Ji Yao secretly transmitted a voice to Yang Kai. If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s perception before, perhaps she wouldn’t have thought that such an old woman was actually disguised.”

This is not some secret technique, but pure disguising technique. It’s not something that just anyone can master.

Yang Kai nodded slightly and said, “It’s indeed superb. If I didn’t have a preconceived notion, I’m afraid it would be very difficult to notice her.”

It was precisely because he had heard some conversations between Commander Yu and the head of the Dong family before, and coupled with the fresh ear holes above the old woman’s ears, that made Yang Kai suspicious of her.

“Master, are we really going to stand by and do nothing？ She seems to really have some unspeakable secret.” Seeing the old woman in a distracted state, Ji Yao couldn’t help but feel a bit of compassion.

Yang Kai said lightly, “The world is full of cunning people. We don’t know who is right and who is wrong in this matter. If we meddle rashly, we may be helping the evildoers.”

“Yes！” Ji Yao nodded.

While the two were talking, the queue had already reached the old woman.

A warrior guarding the city gate waved to the old woman. The old woman walked over shakily. The warrior opened a cloth bag in his hand and put it in front of the old woman for her to take a look.

Just one look, and the old woman’s face suddenly changed drastically. Immediately after that, a burst of chirping sound came from inside the cloth bag, as if some kind of monster was chirping.

And the old woman’s figure swayed, and she no longer had the previous shakily and seemingly about to fall appearance. She was extremely vigorous and directly rushed towards the outside of the city gate.

“Catch her！” The martial artist shouted loudly.

“Since you’ve come out, then stay.” The voice of another person came out. Immediately after that, a saber light cut through the air and slashed towards the only way the old woman had to pass through.

The old woman’s complexion changed again. Knowing that if she forcefully advanced, she would definitely be injured. Under no choice, she could only take a few steps back.

Swish swish swish…

One after another, figures suddenly rushed out from all around and shot towards the old woman.

And because of being delayed for a moment, when the old woman came back to her senses, she had already been surrounded by those people.

“Ai！” Ji Yao couldn’t help but sigh when she saw this scene. She knew that there was no hope for this old woman to escape.

The old woman only had the cultivation base of the third level of the Dao Source Realm. There were actually five or six people of the third level of the Dao Source Realm surrounding her. Each one was no worse than the old woman, and they had the advantage of numbers. If the old woman were to run away again, that would truly be a joke.

“It’s those elders of the Dong family！”

“That’s right, they are indeed the elders of the Dong family.”

“Strange, what are they doing here? And who is that old woman? Why did she provoke the Dong family?

The voices of the nearby martial artists came out, and they were all curious about the scene in front of them.

However, although these elders of the Dong family surrounded the old woman, they didn’t rush to take action. Obviously, they all knew the old woman’s true identity, and for a while, the looks in their eyes when looking at the old woman were extremely complicated.

After all, this is the wife of the family head, and in terms of status, she is not inferior to them.

Two more people walked out from the side and came to the city gate. The warriors guarding the city gate all clasped their fists and saluted when they saw the two people.

“Greetings to Commander Yu.”

“Greetings to the head of the Dong family！”

Yang Kai casually glanced over and found that one of the two people was wearing black armor and looked majestic, and the other was wearing a cyan long robe with a natural air of authority even without anger.

Both of them were at the third level of the Dao Source Realm.

The person wearing the black armor should be Commander Yu, and the other person was naturally the head of the Dong family.

The old woman turned around, her gaze fixed on the head of the Dong family, and gritted her teeth and said, “Let me go！”

The head of the Dong family slowly shook his head and said, “You know this is impossible.”

“Please, let me go. If I don’t leave today, I will leave tomorrow. You can’t stop me！”

“Break your legs and cripple your cultivation. How can you leave？” The head of the Dong family said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the old woman trembled all over and couldn’t believe it: “We have been husband and wife for a hundred years. Do you really want to be so heartless?”

“Husband and wife？”

As soon as the old woman said those words, the onlookers were all shocked. They thought that the wife of the head of the Dong family was supposed to be as beautiful as a flower. When did she become an old woman？

For a time, the crowd whispered, making the face of the head of the Dong family extremely ugly.

The old woman standing in mid-air reached out and wiped her face, removing the disguise and revealing a beautiful and charming face.

“Hiss… It’s really Mrs. Dong！ How could this be？”

“Hehe, what kind of drama is the Dong family playing?”

“This is going to be a good show. The wife of the head of the family actually wants to escape from the Dong family, and the Dong family has sent out all their forces to intercept her here. I wonder what the inside story is.”

The two thousand six hundred and twenty-third palm Broken Affection

“Maybe Mrs. Dong has found a new love, so she wants to leave the head of the Dong family. But how could the head of the Dong family agree? So he brought people to catch her back.”

“Brother, what you said makes sense…”

For a time, everyone looked at the head of the Dong family sympathetically, as if there was a green color on his head, making the face of the head of the Dong family even more gloomy. He shouted angrily： “Stupid woman, look at the good thing you have done！”

Mrs. Dong stood in mid-air, looking at the head of the Dong family with a desolate expression, and said sadly： “Dong Hai, do you really not think about the feelings between husband and wife at all？”

Dong Hai’s face twitched slightly, and a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes. He sighed and said: “Tian He, if you still think about the feelings between husband and wife, just follow me back to the Dong family obediently, and never leave Taiping City from now on. You and I will accompany each other until we grow old.”

Madam Dong burst into tears and shook her head, saying, “Dong Hai, you know why I want to leave and what I am going to do. Don’t make things difficult for me anymore.”

Dong Hai said sternly, “You are forcing the Dong family to a dead end！”

“Sorry, sorry…” Madam Dong’s tears fell down her cheeks drop by drop, and her face was full of self-blame and guilt, as if she had really done something that outraged both men and gods, making the onlookers confused and completely not knowing what was going on.”

“Come back with me. I won’t pursue today’s matter, and the Dong family won’t either. You are still the mistress of the Dong family！” Dong Hai stretched out a hand towards the sky and signaled to Madam Dong.”

Madam Dong’s tears rained down, just shaking her head constantly.”

The tenderness on Dong Hai’s face gradually disappeared and was slowly replaced by coldness and sternness. Finally, he put down the outstretched hand and said calmly, “The foolish woman Shi Tianhe, since she married into the Dong family, has had no children in a hundred years. The crime of having no descendants is great. She also loves vanity and is sexual in comparison, spoiling the family style of the Dong family. What’s more, she has no sense of shame and steals the town family treasure of the Dong family, which is despised by others. Today, I, Dong Hai, in the capacity of the head of the Dong family, hereby announce that Shi Tianhe is expelled from the Dong family. From now on, the couple’s kindness and righteousness are broken and there is no more connection!

As soon as the words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.”

Especially those local warriors in Taiping City. Each of them widened their eyes and looked incredible.”

Although they haven’t seen this Mrs. Dong much, there are many rumors in the market that this Mrs. Dong is very kind-hearted and often helps the poor in the city. But unexpectedly, in the mouth of the head of the Dong family, she has actually become a shameless and vain person.

However, rumors are just rumors. Since her own husband has said so, how can it be false？

Moreover, she actually stole the treasure that suppresses the Dong family！ This can no longer be described as bad character, but simply moral corruption.

For a while, everyone was sighing. They didn’t know why the wife of the head of the Dong family, who had a good life, would do such a thing. No wonder it attracted a group of elders of the Dong family to come out together.

For any man, I’m afraid they couldn’t bear such a woman to be their wife, right？

A soft sound of’ poof’ came out. Shi Tianhe, who was standing in mid-air, suddenly spat out a mouthful of crimson blood and her face was flushed. The blood wet the front of her chest, which was extremely eye-catching.

Her figure staggered slightly, and she covered her chest as if she was suffering the pain of ten thousand ants biting her heart. Looking at Dong Hai below, there was a look of despair between her eyebrows. She never expected that Dong Hai would be so heartless.

One night of husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness. She and Dong Hai have been husband and wife for a hundred years！

Back then, she even offended her own master and was expelled from the sect. She also vowed to be with Dong Hai. Although she finally got her wish, she hasn’t returned to the sect for a hundred years, and she has never seen many of her senior and junior sisters who she has been missing in her heart.

She has been staying in the Dong family and following beside Dong Hai. She thought she had found her beloved husband in this life, but in the end, he stabbed her severely in the heart.

This man, whom she regarded as the sky, the earth, and the only one in this life, stabbed her severely.

“Master, this matter doesn’t seem to be that simple！” Ji Yao observed for a while and suddenly said softly to Yang Kai.

Yang Kai pouted and said, “Why bother about other people’s affairs so much？”

Although he said so, he was also sighing in his heart. Shi Tianhe’s desperate eyes were like being covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, and there was no trace of light, obviously extremely heartbroken.

After a pause, Yang Kai said, “Yao’er, should we help her？”

Ji Yao said, “Listen to Master.”

“Alas！” Yang Kai couldn’t help but sigh. Although he didn’t really want to get involved in today’s matter, these people in the Dong family had obviously gone too far, especially Dong Hai. The two of them had been living together as husband and wife for a hundred years. Who didn’t know each other? Even if there was some friction, couldn’t they just sit down and talk it over? As for expelling her from the Dong family and divorcing her in public like this.

How is she supposed to live her life from now on?

This man has no sense of responsibility. Shi Tianhe must have been blind to have followed such a man.

“Ha ha ha ha…” In the sky, Shi Tianhe suddenly burst into laughter like a madman. The blood at the corner of her mouth was still flowing down, which was shocking to see.

The laughter was full of bitterness, making everyone’s heart tremble.

“Dong Hai!” Shi Tianhe suddenly shouted coquettishly. “To do such a thing for the sake of the Dong family, you, the head of the family… are really competent!

“It’s useless to say more!” Dong Hai didn’t want to continue. There were so many martial artists watching. If this continued, it would still be the face of the Dong family and him that would be lost. With a slight wave of his hand, he said, “All the elders, do it!”

When those elders heard this, their expressions all sank, and they said, “Sorry for the offense！”

As soon as the words fell, they all urged their source power and rushed towards Shi Tianhe.

“Zheng…”

The sound of a sword rang out. Somehow, Shi Tianhe suddenly had an ice-cold long sword in her hand. As soon as the long sword came out, the temperature around suddenly dropped, and an ice-cold artistic conception suddenly spread.

When the sword light flickered, a large number of snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, covering those Dong family elders. Each snowflake was like a sharp weapon for killing people, making those Dong family elders’ complexions change drastically, and they didn’t dare to take its edge lightly.

“It’s snowing？”

“No, this is her secret art. This is an ice-element secret art！”

“This Mrs. Dong’s strength is actually so formidable？”

A group of people shouted in surprise.

Over there, as soon as Dong Hai saw Shi Tianhe make a move, his complexion suddenly sank, and he shouted in a somewhat flustered manner, “Silly woman, do you still want to resist stubbornly？”

And that Battalion Commander Yu frowned and said, “Master Dong, your wife… Hmm, why does the move this woman is using feel a bit like the secret art of Bingxin Valley？”

Dong Hai forced a smile and said, “Battalion Commander Yu is joking. This silly woman has been cultivating ice-element skills since childhood and has mastered some secret arts with good power. It has nothing to do with Bingxin Valley.”

Judging from the meaning in his words, it seems that once it is related to Bingxin Valley, it will be a disaster.

Battalion Commander Yu didn’t suspect anything and nodded slightly, saying, “That would be the best. You also know the current situation of Bingxin Valley. If this woman is really a disciple of Bingxin Valley, then your Dong family will be finished.”

Cold sweat suddenly oozed from Dong Hai’s forehead, and he said with a dry smile, “She is her. She has nothing to do with my Dong family now.”

“Snow as Clear as the Sky！”

Ji Yao suddenly shouted shout, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly staring fixedly at Shi Tianhe who was struggling to make a move in the sky.

As the third disciple of Bingyun, Ji Yao was extremely familiar with various secret techniques of Bingxin Valley. As soon as Shi Tianhe’s sword move was launched, she recognized it as Xue Ruoqingtian of Bingxin Valley, a secret technique that only the disciples of Bingxin Valley could cultivate, and only the core disciples could do so.

In the sky, Shi Tianhe repelled those elders of the Dong family with one move. Just as she was about to escape, those elders stuck to her like dogskin plasters again, making Shi Tianhe have to turn her long sword and stab out blooming sword flowers.

Those sword flowers were like pear blossoms, blooming one after another in the air, beautiful and magnificent, but containing ineffable killing intent. Shi Tianhe’s body shuttled among these pear blossoms, her figure disappearing and reappearing from time to time, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

“Ice and Snow Pear Blossom Sword！”

Ji Yao let out another coquettish shout.

If she wasn’t sure that Shi Tianhe was a disciple of Bingxin Valley when she recognized the secret technique of Xue Ruoqingtian before, then now she has completely confirmed it.

If not a disciple of Bingxin Valley, how could she master these two secret techniques？

She was greatly surprised. She didn’t expect that just after she returned to the Northern Region and hadn’t arrived at the sect yet, she actually met a disciple of Bingxin Valley in this Taiping City.

And just at this time, one of the elders of the Dong family struggled to break through Shi Tianhe’s sword move, attracting her attention, and another elder then dodged behind Shi Tianhe and slapped her back with a palm.

Although Shi Tianhe’s strength was not bad, after all, it was difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. She was in a dilemma within two or three moves. Although she was aware the incoming energy behind her, she was powerless and was extremely anxious for a while.

“Die！”

Just at this time, suddenly came out. Everyone only felt a flash in front of their eyes. Suddenly, a woman with an extremely beautiful face and a cold expression appeared behind Shi Tianhe. The woman seemingly casually slapped out a palm and blew up a Dong family elder in the third level of the Dao Source Realm into a cloud of blood mist.

She was the third disciple of Bingyun and had a very high seniority in the sect. Now that someone was bullying a Bingxin Valley disciple in front of her, and it was a case of bullying the few with the many, how could Ji Yao show mercy? She killed that Dong family elder with a single palm.

She reached out and grabbed Shi Tianhe, pulling her over and protecting her behind her. Her slender jade palm continuously slapped forward.

Boom boom boom…

A series of explosions came out. Several clouds of blood mist burst open in the sky. Without exception, all the Dong family elders who were besieging Shi Tianhe were blown up into blood mist, with no bones left, and had no power to fight back.

“Emperor Venerable Realm！”

A cry of surprise came out, and everyone was in an uproar.

It turned out that Shi Tianhe’s situation was perilous. The onlookers thought she was doomed this time, but unexpectedly, a peerlessly beautiful and cold-tempered Emperor Venerable Realm expert suddenly jumped out and killed all the elders of the Dong family with one palm, two palms, and three palms, causing the situation to take a sudden turn.
