In the dilapidated courtyard of the Tie family's mansion, under the tall locust tree, a middle-aged woman in plain clothes and her eyes tightly covered by a white scarf is sitting motionless on a wooden chair.

Separated from the girl, Tie Qiuhan drove lightly all the way, and soon came to the depths of the house and stopped under the locust tree. But he didn't speak, just looked at the middle-aged woman quietly, her wrinkled old face was full of complicated colors.

"You're here, dumb!"

Almost at the moment when Tie Qiuhan's footsteps stopped, the middle-aged woman spoke in a hoarse voice, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, with a shallow smile, even though she was old, she was still charming.

Seeing this, Tie Qiuhan's breathing suddenly stagnated, and at that moment, he seemed to see the innocent appearance of the middle-aged woman when she was young, and a feeling of pain came to his heart, and the pain on his face became thicker and thicker.

"You seem to be a few days late this time, is there something delayed?"

After a while, seeing that Tie Qiuhan did not react, the middle-aged woman said to herself. Tie Qiuhan's body stiffened, and he clenched his fist hard, but there was still no response.

"Tell me about me, I'm really confused, I know that you can't speak, and I always ask you some weird questions, don't blame your sister-in-law for nagging!" The middle-aged woman smiled bitterly, but stopped talking.

For some reason, hearing the word "sister-in-law", Tie Qiuhan's body seemed to be stimulated, trembling slightly, his hands were clenched harder, and even his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh and blood.

"Thirty years have passed, and the oath of the three of you brothers who used to high-five and bow seems to be still in your ears, but you never thought that now you are dead, gone, and crippled, and one by one you have ended up like this, tell me why you just refused to listen to my advice in the first place? Is that treasure really so important? It is worth your life for this!"

Grabbing the armrest of the chair, the middle-aged woman's tone was slightly excited, and there seemed to be remorse, chagrin, and helplessness in her words, but more of it was loss, and two lines of tears flowed down unconsciously.

Looking at the middle-aged woman's tears and painful face, Tie Qiuhan's body trembled even more, and he stretched out his hand to wipe away her tears, but when Kankan was close to her cheek, he stopped abruptly and withdrew his hand.

"Dumb, among the three of you brothers, you and your second brother Qiu Han have been together the longest, and you know him best, tell me, why did he abandon me so ruthlessly, did I do something wrong?"

After a while, the middle-aged woman suddenly choked up and said, her body trembled slightly, her lips were slightly pale, and her thin and thin body looked very helpless.

Tie Qiuhan's eyes were slightly red, his body trembled even more, and even his breathing became heavy, but he tried his best to control himself so that the middle-aged woman would not notice his abnormality.

There were several times when he couldn't resist reaching out, but in the end he painfully took it back.

......

In the inn, Mu Yiyang had left the private room at some point, and came to an ordinary guest room, sitting upright on the wooden bed, with the strange seal in his hand.

In his body, among the many veins, a slightly smaller vein shone with blue and red light, which was the power of the wood attribute and the fire attribute bloodline.

At this moment, on the periphery of the two bloodline forces, countless black dots were constantly emerging, densely packed, tightly surrounding them, constantly eating them, as if they were going to devour them completely, the situation looked very critical.

For these sudden black spots, at the beginning, Mu Yiyang tried to urge the power of the bloodline to drive it out of the body, but unexpectedly, whether it was the power of the bloodline of the wood attribute or the fire attribute, as long as it touched the black spot, it would be immediately devoured, become a part of it, flow backwards into the heart palace along the veins, merge into the bottom of the suspended nine-story pyramid, and then gradually precipitate.

With the increase of black light points, the light on the nine-story pyramid slowly became dim, Mu Yiyang could clearly feel that the power of the blood veins on his body was constantly being lost, and at this speed, it would not be long before he would be beaten back to his original form, losing the meager strength that he had almost fought for his life to take back from the hands of the heavens.
