After experiencing two times in the inn and the merchants, Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing were aware of their serious inadequacies. They were not alert enough and lacked the ability to fight in actual combat. He had fought with the bandit before, and should have been able to crush him, but he had almost died to his opponent. Luckily, Tian Jue had observed him from the side, but even so, Hai Dongqing was still injured when she was fighting with the bandit who did not know any martial arts.

The two of them thought of what Li Xianfeng had said. According to what Li Xianfeng said, they were not the scariest. Although there were many unknown things about the martial arts world, the two of them were not afraid. As the saying goes, when the enemy comes, the enemy comes. The two of them are the least afraid of trouble. This was a good character that Li Xianfeng had taught them since they were young.

No matter how powerful one's martial arts was, how profound one's knowledge was, if one could not use it properly, if one could not put it into practice, it would be like a sword hanging on the wall. You always tell others that this sword is extremely sharp, a good sword, but others have never seen it, who would believe it? In the eyes of others, it is not as good as hanging a good picture.

The sword in his arm was so deep that it went straight to the bone. Even if there was someone in the merchant's group who knew medicine, with a slight stitch to stop the bleeding, they would not be able to hold the sword for a month. It was because of Hai Dongqing's physique that was so good; otherwise, the time would have been even longer.

After the two of them parted ways with the merchant, they finally saw a village. There was a small stream beside the village, and on the other side of the village, there was a row of weeping willow trees. It was evening, and the slanting rays of the sun were reddening the weeping willows, and the brook was sparkling. An old woman sat at the entrance to the village, under the willows, by the brook, and wept.

The two of them wanted to relax after seeing the poetic scene, so they walked over to the old woman curiously.

"Auntie, how can you shed tears alone?" Tian Jue walked up to the old woman and extended his hand to help her up as he asked.

"Little brother, this old woman's suffering is beyond your control. Since we are visiting guests, why don't you go to the Han house to stay for the night and leave tomorrow morning?" The old woman dried her eyes and held Tian Jue's hand before turning around and bringing him back to the village.

"Aunty, please feel free to say anything. We two brothers are out there practicing our chivalry. If there is a need for us, we will not refuse." When Tian Jue saw that the old woman was a kind-hearted person, he wanted to help her even more.

"Ai, the two of you are still young, so why are you acting so righteously? Don't hurt yourself again." The old lady looked at Hai Dongqing and shook her head.

Just when Tian Jue wanted to say something, Hai Dongqing shook his head. Hai Dongqing walked up to Tian Jue and whispered in his ears: "I don't want the two of us to get involved in this matter, this proves that the other party has a great background. Since that's the case, if we go over to her house for a few days, perhaps we'll know something."

Tian Juetian nodded his head, but the old woman had said that the two of them were going to leave tomorrow morning, so there was no way for them to stay. This kind of thing was the hardest for Hai Dongqing.

The two of them followed the old woman as they walked along the stone slabs. It was strange to say that the people in the village had never seen a girl, as the youngest was probably over forty years old. Everyone had worried looks on their faces, but they saw a little child crying as he asked his mother for his elder sister. While the two of them were still curious, they had arrived at the old lady's home.

The old woman's house was at the edge of the village. There was a small courtyard surrounded by a wooden fence, and there were two or three thatched huts. There was a giant locust tree, and under the locust tree was a stone mill.

"This humble house is simple and crude, I hope my two little brothers do not dislike it."

"Auntie is too polite."

The old woman exchanged a few words with the two before going to the woodshed to light a fire and cook. The gyrfalcon tried moving his hands, but it was in so much pain that he didn't dare move. Tian Jue observed that this old woman seemed to be living alone, so she must be lonely. Tian Jue thought about it and decided to go to the woodshed to accompany this old woman.

Not long after, the old woman served some good food. There was meat and fish in it, making Tian Jue and Gu Ruoyun salivate. The old woman smiled at the two of them. Tian Jue couldn't help but move his chopsticks. Hai Dongqing glanced at the old woman and then moved her chopsticks as well.

"The aunt won't eat it?" Hai Dongqing asked as she placed a piece of fish meat into her mouth, but the piece of fish meat continued to sink into her mouth.

"Normally, you would be reluctant to eat these. Since you're a guest, hurry up and eat them. If they get cold, they won't taste good anymore." The gyrfalcon didn't say a word. After about two minutes, he stood up and looked at the old woman, then looked at Tian Jue, who was trying so hard to shake his head to clear his mind.

"Are you afraid that I will ruin your painstaking efforts if I can't take this poison?" The gyrfalcon glared at the old woman.

"How did you find out?" The old lady's face was gloomy, as she pulled out a kitchen knife from under the table and slashed at Hai Dongqing.

"He found out about you after he took your poison." Hai Dongqing grabbed the old lady's hand with one hand and looked towards Tian Jue as she spoke.

The old woman didn't know martial arts, and since she was old and frail, it was easy for the gyrfalcon to control her. When the old woman heard Hai Dongqing's words, she looked towards the unconscious Tian Jue with an expression of disbelief.

The gyrfalcon began to narrate the story of how Tian Jue discovered her poison. It turned out that Tian Jue wanted to accompany the old lady, but he couldn't resist looking into the room and discovering some of the young lady's clothes. He knew that the old lady wasn't the only one living here. From this, it was certain that only the old woman lived here. The owner of the clothes was nowhere to be found, and Tian Jue also discovered that there were a lot of medicinal herbs that were already wrapped up. Each of the herbs had the name of a medicine on it, so it was likely that the old woman's body did not need to take the medicine for a long period of time.

Tian Jue didn't think too much as he walked to the door of the firewood house. Seeing the old woman place some powder in the food she was cooking, he felt a bit bitter. The name written on the bag with the powder on it was the medicine they were talking about. He had a good impression of the old woman. He hadn't expected her to want to harm the two of them.

Tian Jue thought that it was probably related to the owner of the clothes that was not there, but he didn't know how to trust the old lady. He told Hai Dongqing about it, and decided that he would be numbed by the sweat medicine once, then he told Hai Dongqing about it.

If Tian Jue had directly exposed the old woman from the very beginning, or if he had appeared when the old woman drugged him, the old woman would have become angry from embarrassment. When he did that, the old woman would have felt that the two of them had prepared for this. As for exposing them while they were eating, there were even more unknowns. What evidence did you have, so the method they used was the best.

Sure enough, after the old woman heard Hai Dongqing's words, she immediately sat down on the ground, and her eyes started to glaze over.

"If you don't have anything to hide, I'll kill you. When my brother wakes up, even if the people in your village know that you are so evil yet don't remind us, we still deserve to die. So, I will still kill everyone in this village." Hai Dongqing said indifferently, revealing a sinister smile.

When the old woman heard this, she glared angrily at the gyrfalcon. The latter pulled out his sword and pointed it at the old woman's throat, as if he really would do such a thing.

Actually, the gyrfalcon wouldn't do that, it was just to scare the old lady and make her speak honestly. After all, according to Tian Jue's words, the old lady's methods were unconventional and it was probably her first time doing this, so she probably treated the two of them as bad people. Even if the old woman hadn't said anything, they would have gone to another house to ask. Someone always said that.

With that, the old woman sighed. If she really provoked these two people and caused the death of everyone in the village, she would not be able to bear the consequences.

Sure enough, the old woman treated him as a group of people who called themselves the Yuan Hai Sect. They had been here for seven or eight days, yet these seven or eight days had become the village's nightmare.

Seven or eight of them came here. When the villagers heard that it was someone from a sect, they ate and drank merrily. They didn't have much contact with the outside world, but they also had respect for the sects that brought peace to the world. After a few days of observation in the village after they had had their fill of wine and food, they expressed their intention of coming here. They wanted all the young ladies here to hug the young lady who was pouring wine for them with an irrefutable tone and obscenities that flowed out of their eyes unconsciously.

The girl had become a wife, and her husband could not bear to see her go on, so he scolded the man who held his wife, only to be badly beaten. Many villagers went up to help. After all, which family didn't have a girl? The villagers who went up to help had the same ending, but there were still people who did not fear being injured and decided to go all out. After killing a few, the villagers quietened down. The villagers did not know martial arts, so how could they be a match for them?

After the few of them fought, they entered the village and started searching from house to house. They went from ten years old to thirty years old, and they didn't let any of them go. Some of them were quick enough to hide their girls, but they were not in a hurry to leave. As soon as they heard the news, they would turn the place upside down. They had just left this morning, and the old woman had witnessed them taking her granddaughter away from the village entrance. When the two of them had arrived, the old woman had assumed that all outsiders were in cahoots with the group.

When the gyrfalcon heard this, he couldn't contain his anger. This group of beasts were deceiving him by eating, cheating and drinking. Without waiting for Tian Jue to wake up, he carried Tian Jue and headed in the direction the old woman had indicated. Before they left, Tian Jue looked at the old woman and said solemnly, "All people in the sect may not be good people, all outsiders may not all be bad people. If you trust the both of us, bring your granddaughter back here within four days, bring the ladies from your village with you."

"Although the two of you are not bad people, the two of you know martial arts and have more people. As for you two, you two are still young, so it's best for you two to not interfere. But when you two grow up and take revenge for us, it's already a great kindness." The old lady held Hai Dongqing's hand and said with tears in her eyes.

Hai Dongqing shook her head and looked at the old woman firmly. The old woman let go of her hand helplessly and gave Tian Jue an antidote.

The gyrfalcon carried Tian Jue, regardless of whether it was dark or not, whether there were ghosts on the road or the Deep Sea Sect, the gyrfalcon only had one thought in his mind right now: chase after those people and kill them to save those girls.

After the gyrfalcon had walked for nearly two hours, it started to complain about how heavy Tian Jue was. Along the way, the bumpy Tian Jue slowly opened up and looked around at the wilderness. It then looked at the gyrfalcon with a puzzled expression.

When the gyrfalcon saw that Tian Jue had woken up, he put him down and continued on his way.

"We'll talk while we're walking. Time is of the essence."

Tian Jue shook his head and followed the gyrfalcon with difficulty. Listening to the gyrfalcon's story, his originally dazed head became a bit clearer. Like the gyrfalcon, Tian Jue was also angry.

The two of them followed the trail left behind by the group of people. After all, they had brought many women with them, so it wasn't too difficult to detect their tracks. Along the way, he unknowingly saw an inn. It was almost daybreak when the two of them knocked on the door of the inn.

The waiter opened the door, cursing as he drowsily did so. Seeing the murderous light in their eyes, he was stunned for a moment, but seeing that the two of them were still young, he snappily asked, "Where did the two of you come from, even though the sky is still dark?"

"Did you see seven or eight men with a group of girls?" Hai Dongqing coldly said as she pulled out her sword and pointed it at the waiter's throat.

"Master, aiyo, we can talk this out, we can talk this out." This group of people you are talking about is very conspicuous. They are living at our house, right there, and there, and there. " The waiter did not feel drowsy after being pointed at by the sword. He quickly pointed to seven to eight guest rooms.

Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing looked at each other. Tian Jue smiled mischievously as he took out two small bamboos and placed some powder on them before giving one to Hai Dongqing. Hai Dongqing also looked at him with a mischievous smile.

"Alright, I'm smart now." The gyrfalcon immediately had a whole new level of respect for Tian Jue. The waiter sat weakly on a chair, not daring to make a sound.

"We're going to kill people, don't say a word." After he finished speaking, Hai Dongqing quietly walked to the first room on the left. He took out a spark from his bosom and blew lightly on it before taking it and pouring it into the small bamboo tube. The bamboo tube broke the paper that was stuck on the door, and Hai Dongqing lightly blew on it.

As soon as the powder touched the sparks, it turned into smoke. Not long after Tian Jue left the right side, the two of them blew through several guest rooms. Then, he pulled the waiter to recognize them. The waiter looked at them a few times. After all, it was enviable for anyone to bring so many women on a journey. The waiter pointed out one of them.

Hai Dongqing's sword fell, blood splattering all over the waiter's face. These two brats may seem young, but they kill without batting an eye.

Actually, after killing for the first time, the two of them were very nervous. However, they knew very well that the people they killed were evil people. If they didn't kill them, they would harm even more people.

The waiter carefully pointed. One of them was a different customer, luckily, the waiter was able to point it out. Otherwise, the two of them would have killed the wrong person. After killing the few people from the Yuan Hai Sect, Tian Jue started to explain to the waiter.

This was the second time Hai Dongqing and Tian Jue had killed someone, but they were still a little afraid. Tian Jue purposefully avoided looking at his sword which was still dripping blood, while Hai Dongqing also closed his eyes. After knowing who the two of them were, he was no longer as afraid of them as he was earlier. After all, there was evidence and evidence.

After getting their agreement, the waiter went to inform the branch of the law enforcement sect. The Law Enforcement Sect members looked at the two of them in surprise. After asking the girls about it, the Law Enforcement Sect members finally believed them, but they didn't find any keepsake from the Yuan Hai Sect on the bodies of the people they killed. Thus, they attributed this matter to the people of the Devil Dao.

After the people at the inn learned of the two's actions, they praised them very highly. Seeing that they were done with their work, the two of them immediately felt the sleepiness engulf their entire body and fell asleep in the clean guest room of the inn. The rest was up to the law enforcement sects.

It was already dusk when the Law Enforcement Sect had finished their business and cleaned up the corpses. None of these women had left, as there were many things that needed to be asked of them. Seeing that they couldn't return home, they decided to give a banquet tonight to entertain their little benefactor.

The two of them woke up and looked at the dishes on the table. Seeing so many good-looking girls calling each other 'benefactors', their faces reddened. Someone from the inn shouted, "Aiyo, the front legs chased away the wolves, and the back legs met the fox."

When the others heard this, they immediately burst out laughing. How could Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing endure such a joke? They were so embarrassed that they wanted to dig into the ground. The faces of the saved girls all turned red, causing the men and women in the inn to burst out in laughter once more.

The next day, the two of them brought the group of girls back to the village in the evening. After each returned home, Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing brought a cute little girl to a thatched cottage at the edge of the village.

The little girl was fair and clean. Her little face was chubby and had two ponytails. She was exceptionally cute. It was obvious that she was a beauty. Tian Jue also felt that this little girl was exceptionally pretty, but after looking at her for a moment, he turned his head away.

When the old woman saw that Tian Jue and Hai Dongqing had really saved her granddaughter, she was first astonished before she cried out in joy. She repeatedly thanked the two of them. This time, it was truly a big fish and a big meat dish. The two of them finally relaxed and boldly started to eat.

After the four of them finished their meal, the old woman asked the two about what had happened, and the gyrfalcon gave a rough account of what had happened. The old woman thanked Tian Jue once more and asked, "Little benefactor, are you married?"

Tian Jue was stupefied by this question. He then blankly shook his head. "What are you talking about? I'm still so young."

"Young benefactor, do you dislike this old one's granddaughter?" Hearing the old woman's words, the little girl's face instantly turned red.

"How could I dare to turn my back on you? It's just that this junior has yet to discuss marriage." Tian Jue shyly lowered his head, biting his lips.

"If little benefactor wishes to, this old one can make the decision."

"Me." Tian Jue didn't know how to reply to that. He raised his head to look at the little girl with a flushed face who was staring at him. She really was good-looking. It wasn't as if he hadn't seen her in a long time.

Beside him, the gyrfalcon began to mutter to himself. He had been the one who had saved the most, so why hadn't he asked him? Who told this guy to be so sloppy and offend someone on their first meeting?

"Alright." Tian Jue lowered his head, feeling as if his face was burning.
