10: Three years later

Jiang Yilong was the strongest person in the Jiang Family, having reached the Ninth Stage of Profound Dharma Realm; almost no one dared to contradict him when he spoke.

At this moment, Jiang Shanba arrived at Lady Bai's room and, with a casual wave of his hand, set up an isolation Formation.

"Hahaha! You old hag, you did a great job with this. I'll have to credit you for this in the future," Jiang Shanba said with a laugh, his eyes full of pride.

Lady Bai looked puzzled and asked with a frown, "Hmm? You old geezer, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Shanba lowered his voice, his tone carrying a hint of mystery. "It's all for your grandson. This time, not only must you make a scene, but you must also leave the Jiang Family directly. Use this to tell the outside world that Ling Yi has been completely abandoned. Only then can the father and son be safe."

When Lady Bai heard the words "father and son," her eyes widened instantly. "What did you say? Ling Yi and his son?"

Jiang Shanba nodded, his tone serious. "You must keep this an absolute secret. You cannot reveal it to anyone except yourself! Ling Yi's son is not dead; he's alive and well, hidden away by the couple."

Lady Bai was shaken and asked hurriedly, "What on earth happened? Why hide him away when everything was fine? Can't even I, his grandmother, see my own grandson?"

Jiang Shanba took a deep breath and said slowly, "Because he possesses the Pure Yang Body! He's eight years old now and has already begun his Awakening."

Hearing this news, Lady Bai felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her voice trembling slightly. "You... what did you say? My grandson has the Pure Yang Body?"

Jiang Shanba nodded solemnly. "Yes! That's why Ling Yi spared no expense to prepare so many Body Refining materials for him."

A flicker of excitement passed through Lady Bai's eyes, her voice carrying a hint of pleading. "It's... it's been eight years. Can I see my dear grandson?"

Jiang Shanba shook his head, his tone helpless. "You old hag! Do you think I don't want to see him? If I could, I would have rushed to see him long ago. However, Ling Yi told me that old man Lin Zhennan visited him once using the Lin Family's special teleportation Formation. If you want to know what Ling Yi's son looks like, you could find an excuse to ask him secretly."

Lady Bai was silent for a moment, then nodded. "A special teleportation Formation? Fine! For the sake of my grandson, I'll make this act look real. I'll return to the Bai Family tomorrow."

Three days later, after several days of fermentation, the news of the Jiang Family's internal strife spread. The former number one Genius of the Jiang Family, Jiang Lingyi, had been expelled, and Lady Bai had broken ties with the Jiang Family for her son's sake. This matter caused quite a stir in the Middle Profound Domain.

Within the Wang Family, another great Family in the Middle Profound Domain, the Family head Wang Mang sat in the main seat, his tone full of emotion. "I never expected the Jiang Family to actually expel Jiang Lingyi. That Lin Min from the Lin Family has been locked up by that old fellow Lin Zhennan due to her unstable emotions from the grief of losing her son. Now, we might actually be able to recruit Jiang Lingyi into my Wang Family, fulfilling Qianqian's long-held wish."

A clan elder shook his head, his tone worried. "But we don't know where he went. The reason Lady Bai made such a scene in the Jiang Family was that she couldn't find Jiang Lingyi, which eventually led her to break ties with them in anger. Even if we find him, recruiting him into our Family might not be easy; that old woman Lady Bai is very strong-willed."

Wang Mang sighed, his tone helpless. "Sigh! My poor daughter has been waiting foolishly for over ten years."

Three Years Later

In Shiyuan Village, Jiang Ye and the other children had grown up quite a bit. After three years of guidance from Yan Kui, they had all Cultivated Profound Qi, and their Realm Breakthroughs were quite rapid.

Both Shi Bao and Shi Feng had reached the Third Stage of the Profound Core Realm, while Jiang Ye, due to his Physique, had already reached the Ninth Stage of the Profound Core Realm and was on the verge of a Breakthrough to the First Stage of the Profound Extreme Realm at any moment.

One day, the three of them ran into a remote mountain forest to hunt. In that abyss, Yan Kui sighed and muttered to himself, "Sigh! This kid has been Cultivating for three years and has only reached the second Realm. Too slow! Should I pass that Cultivation Technique to him now?"

---

In the mountain forest, the three of them, including Jiang Ye, were chasing a Demon Tiger, running for all they were worth.

"Fatty Bao, run faster! Don't let it escape!" Jiang Ye shouted as he ran, his eyes full of excitement.

Shi Feng panted and said loudly, "Ye Zai! You're faster than us. Go block it from the front, and Fatty Bao and I will flank it from behind!"

Jiang Ye nodded, suddenly accelerating. His figure dashed forward like the wind, preparing to intercept the Demon Tiger.
