Chapter 3, Sancha Ridge
"Whoosh~Whoosh~" The cold night wind blew through the mountains and forests, the white moonlight spread across the earth, and crows and night insects chirped in the dark mountains and forests.

Mu Yunsheng was wearing a dark long gown and holding a double-headed hoe with a crane's beak. He left Yuxu Lingtian and quickly headed towards Sanchaling.

This double-headed hoe with a crane's beak and a rough surface is a "magic weapon" he took back from the wooden house where he lived. It can crush fine iron with a single blow controlled by his true energy. The crane's beak has the effect of breaking through spiritual barriers, and the rough surface has the effect of crushing spirits.

No matter how hard the spiritual soil is, it will be crushed under this double-headed hoe with a crane's beak, and turned into spiritual soil sand with uniform spiritual energy to nourish the spiritual plants planted in the spiritual field.

Almost every cultivator who grows spiritual rice in the Yuxu Spiritual Field has a handful of it, otherwise they cannot cultivate the spiritual soil that contains spiritual energy in the spiritual field. Mu Yunsheng bought it from the Liu family for twenty low-grade spirit stones.

More than two quarters of an hour later, Sanchaling.

At this time, the sky in the night sky had turned white, and Sancha Ridge was quiet. Dew condensed in the grass and on the leaves.

"I don't know which way Xiao Lin'er entered Sanchaling. Otherwise, I could have gone to find her in advance and taken her around Sanchaling to avoid the encounter with the Miaoshan bandits."

"I don't know whether the two bandits from Miaoshan are in Sanchaling now." Mu Yunsheng looked at the Sanchaling in front of him, where trees and jungles merged into one. He frowned slightly and thought in his eyes. He tightly grasped the double-headed magic hoe with a crane's beak in his hand, and with caution in his heart, he dived into the lush jungle of Sanchaling and did not take the road opened up in Sanchaling.

Sanchaling is a low, rolling mountain range with three forks in the road. One leads to the Qihe Market in Qianyuan Prefecture, one leads to the Yuxu Spiritual Field, and one leads to the forbidden area of ​​Qianyuan Prefecture, the Poisonous Mist Wanzeling.

It is called Sanchaling.

After Mu Yunsheng entered the lush jungle of Sanchaling, he first rushed to the fork in the road leading to Qihefang City. Shui Lin'er came to find him, and the most likely way was that she would take the road to Qihefang City and turn through Sanchaling to see him.

Unfortunately, outside Sanchaling, there is more than one road leading to Qihefang City, and Mu Yunsheng doesn't know which road Shui Lin'er will come in from, otherwise he could rush there in advance to stop Shui Lin'er.

"But it's not too late now. I'll be guarding the intersection between Sanchaling and Qihefang Market. When I see Xiao Lin'er, I'll stop her and take a detour through Sanchaling."

"I just hope that little girl Xiao Lin'er won't enter Sancha Ridge so quickly." Mu Yunsheng whispered in his heart, looking up at the sky which was already completely bright and approaching noon, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

"I don't know why the two elders stopped Shui Lin'er. Shui Lin'er's master, Fairy Taohua, has close ties with the Caoyang Mu family, Taihua Sanren of the Jinwu Taoist Temple, and the Bi family of Bicui Tan."

"My master, Fairy Taohua, and her friends are right behind Shui Lin'er. The two seniors are looking for my master and his friends. Shui Lin'er will go and report to them right away."

In Sancha Ridge, on the road leading to the fork in Qihefang City, a girl who looked about eighteen years old, with red sand on her forehead and a jade-like face, looked at a pair of elderly monks who came out of the jungle on the mountain and blocked the way with unfriendly expressions. She saluted and said politely.

"Big brother is the disciple of old lady Taohua. That old lady Taohua is a bit difficult to deal with. She has connections with most of the independent cultivators in Qihe Market. How about we..."

The two old monks who blocked the road were both in their sixties. Looking at Shui Lin'er who saluted and introduced herself, the younger one whispered to the other old monk and secretly made a gesture of letting go.

"No... We can't let anyone know about that thing in the mountains. This little girl saw us coming out of the mountains, she can only blame her bad luck." The older monk looked at Shui Lin'er and shook his head obscurely. A cold and fierce gleam flashed in his old eyes, and then a kind and gentle smile appeared on his face. He said loudly, "So you are Peach Blossom Fairy's beloved disciple, Taoist Qian Nong of Deadwood Mountain. This is my sworn Taoist friend Youchen Sanren. We do have something to ask your respected teacher, Peach Blossom Fairy."

"Come here and I'll explain it to you in detail, so you can go and inform Fairy Peach Blossom."

"So it's Senior Qian Nong and Senior You Chen. Shui Lin'er will go and inform my master to come and discuss matters with the two seniors." Shui Lin'er saluted deftly with a respectful smile on her face, but did not walk towards the two old monks. Instead, after saluting, she turned around and ran quickly to the back while speaking.

"What a clever little girl, but if we let you get away, where will we, the Miaoshan Bandits, put our heads down?" Taoist Qian Nong looked at Shui Lin'er, who suddenly turned and ran away. The kind and gentle fake smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent. He shouted, "Second Brother!"

"Yes, big brother." Youchen Sanren replied, taking out a Qingfeng long sword in his hand. A cold and murderous smile appeared on his old face. He chased after the fleeing Shui Lin'er and at the same time cast the spell he had prepared earlier.

"Dead Tree Transformation into Snake Technique, go!"

"Wow~Wow~" A flash of inspiration came to her, and on the path ahead of Shui Lin'er's escape, the dead branches and vines seemed to come alive and turned into poisonous snakes that attacked Shui Lin'er.

"Shui Yuan Zhan!" A water blade condensed in Shui Lin'er's hand, and killed the poisonous snake transformed from dead branches and vines that was entwining and biting her, but her escape was also stopped.

"You can't run away, right? It would be a shame to kill such a young girl. I'll take your essence first and drink your virgin blood. Maybe it can add a few years to my lifespan."

Youchen Sanren quickly caught up to Shui Lin'er and blocked her escape route. Looking at Shui Lin'er's curvy body full of the youthful energy of a sixteen-year-old girl, an obscene smile appeared on his old face, and he said in a strange voice.

He was reluctant to kill Shui Lin'er before because he was afraid of causing trouble to Peach Blossom Fairy. Now that he has decided to kill Shui Lin'er, Taoist Youchen no longer has any scruples in his heart.

"Don't even think about it. My master and the elders of the Mu family will be here soon. If you don't want to get into trouble, run away quickly." Shui Lin'er pointed the water blade in her hand at You Chen Sanren. Her face looked fierce and arrogant. She didn't seem to be afraid of You Chen Sanren, as if her master Taohua Fairy and the elders of the Mu family were really about to arrive soon.

But in fact, Shui Lin'er had already made up her mind to die when she saw You Chen Sanren, who was at the third level of Qi Refining and had trapped her with a spell, and Taoist Qian Nong who was walking towards her.

"If I really can't escape, I will commit suicide immediately. I can't let Brother Yunsheng suffer humiliation. I didn't deliver Brother Yunsheng's favorite peach blossom cake. Brother Yunsheng must be craving it. It's so hard in the spiritual field."

"It's a pity that I'm useless. I can't even deliver a piece of peach blossom cake to Brother Yunsheng. I don't know if Brother Yunsheng has washed the dirty clothes from work. Will he forget me in the future?"

Shui Lin'er was a well-behaved and lovely girl. No matter when you looked at her, her crescent eyes seemed to be smiling, but sadness and despair appeared in them. She saw that Youchen Sanren and Qiannong Daoren were not scared away by her words.

He raised the water blade in his hand and wiped it across his white neck.

"Xiao Lin'er...!" At this time, a scream came from the jungle beside the road.
