Travel through the heavens

Fang Muye and his two companions walked along the path for more than half an hour when they saw a large dark forest in front of them. On the left, there was a row of nine tall pine trees standing side by side. They had arrived at the entrance of the "Wanjie Valley" where Zhong Ling lived.

Zhong Ling turned to Fang Muye and Duan Yu and said softly, "Senior Fang, Brother Duan, this is the entrance to my home. Please come to my home and have a seat and a cup of tea."

Fang Muye smiled at Zhong Ling and said, "We won't bother you at your house anymore, Miss Zhong. Goodbye now!" He then looked at Duan Yu and said, "Yu'er, I'll wait for you out front." After saying that, he went back a few feet to wait.

Duan Yu and Zhong Ling were reluctant to leave and talked for a long time. Zhong Ling then walked around to the fourth big pine tree on the right, looking back every two steps. Only then did Duan Yu walk towards her absent-mindedly.

Fang Muye couldn't help laughing when he saw his expression, and asked with a smile: "Do you like Miss Zhong?"

Duan Yu was suddenly embarrassed and shy, and hurriedly said: "Ah? Master, what did you say? No... no, I don't like Miss Zhong... No, it's not that I don't like her..."

Fang Muye laughed and said, "Why are you shy? Miss Zhong is innocent and beautiful, and it's understandable that you like her. If she becomes my disciple's wife, I will be happy too."

Duan Yu's face immediately turned red with shame, but he did not say anything to refute.

After the two of them walked for a while, Duan Yu's expression returned to normal and he asked, "Master, where are we going next?"

Fang Muye said loudly: "Go to Dali City."

Duan Yu was immediately anxious when he heard this. He was worried that if he returned to Dali City, he would be locked up by his father and unable to leave. He hurriedly said, "Master, what's so good about Dali City? Wouldn't it be better for you to travel the world with your disciple?"

Fang Muye smiled and said, "Even if you follow me around, you must inform your uncle and father so that they don't worry about you."

Duan Yu thought about it and replied helplessly: "Okay."

The two men immediately headed north towards Dali City. That afternoon, as they passed the foot of Wuliang Mountain, a woman in her forties suddenly walked out from the side, passed in front of them, and walked along the path towards Wuliang Mountain.

The woman was wearing a light blue dress and had long hair. She looked pretty, but there were three bright red bloodstains on each cheek, running from the bottom of her eyes to her lower cheek, as if she had just been scratched by someone's fingers.

She was holding a two or three-year-old child in her arms. He was chubby and very cute. A large red cloth was wrapped around the child. For some reason, the child suddenly cried out, "Mom, mom, I want you!"

The woman patted the child and coaxed him, "Good boy, I am your mother."

The child cried louder and louder, "I want my mother, I want my mother, you are not my mother."

The woman shook him gently and sang a nursery rhyme: "A packet of candy, a packet of fruit, and after eating, leave another packet..." But the child still kept crying.

Fang Muye's heart moved, and he smiled and asked the woman as she left, "But is it Ye Erniang who is 'doing all kinds of evil'?"

The woman turned around, looked Fang Muye up and down from a distance, and asked quietly, "What a handsome young man! Who are you? How come you recognize me, Ye Erniang?"

Fang Muye's smile disappeared immediately, and he said coldly: "The one who wants to kill you!"

Ye Erniang lost her virginity to Xuan Ci when she was young and gave birth to Xu Zhu, but the baby was taken away by Xiao Yuanshan and hidden in Shaolin Temple. Xiao Yuanshan also scratched her cheeks with three bloody marks, disfiguring her face.

Ye Erniang became obsessed with missing her son and began to steal other people's children to play with. Every day she would steal a child, play with the child for half a day, and then give the child away to strangers at night. The children's parents were so worried that they couldn't find them anywhere. Many children died as a result of her.

Such evil deeds have completely touched Fang Muye's bottom line, making him want to kill.

This Ye Erniang must die today, even the Lord of Heaven can’t save her!

Ye Erniang didn't care at all when she heard this. She had a smile on her face and continued to coax the child in her arms slowly. She glanced at Fang Muye and said with a smile, "You young man, you are so arrogant."

Fang Muye said nothing more, and rushed towards Ye Erniang like lightning. Since he had decided to kill her, he would naturally do so with the force of thunder and lightning, without holding back at all.

Relying on her outstanding martial arts skills, Ye Erniang was not panicked. She stepped forward and flew backwards like a ghost. At the same time, she took off the small shoe on the right foot of the child in her arms and threw it towards Fang Muye's chest with her Yin power.

While Ye Erniang was doing all this, she always had a smile on her face. This cold smile remained until her body was thrown into the air, but there was a hint of fear in it.

However, it was Ye Erniang's proud lightness skill and the "hidden weapon" she threw that were completely useless to Fang Muye. Fang Muye flashed in front of her in an instant and touched her chest with his finger. The supreme force shattered her heart and killed her. The speed was so fast that she didn't even have time to change her expression.

Fang Muye held the child he had taken from Ye Erniang's arms at that moment and looked at him tenderly. The child, who had been crying just now, stopped crying and looked at him quietly with his big black eyes.

Fang Muye's heart softened and he said with a smile, "I'll take you to find your mother, okay?"

The child immediately laughed, stretched out his two pink little hands to Fang Muye, and said in a baby voice: "Okay, okay, go find my mother."

The changes just now were too fast. Talking, fighting, and death, all in a matter of a few breaths. Duan Yu finally came to his senses and ran to Fang Muye, shouting, "Master, why did you kill this man so suddenly?"

Fang Muye then briefly explained who Ye Erniang was and how she had stolen other people's children. Duan Yu immediately became extremely sad and angry, and said angrily: "She is worse than an animal! There are such evil people in the world who enjoy playing with and harming children. It is really appalling, and a hundred deaths are not enough to atone for their guilt!"

Fang Muye's anger subsided at this moment, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a waste! He should have let Duan Yu absorb Ye Erniang's internal energy with the "Northern Divine Art" first, and then take her name.

The two of them then held the child and walked in the direction that Ye Er Niang came from. After walking about three miles, they heard sad sobbing coming from a farmer's house on the left. The child in their arms also pointed at that family and called out, "Mom, Dad, Mom, Dad." They immediately went forward.

The child of this farmer's family disappeared inexplicably, and the child's father and grandfather had gone out to look for him, leaving only the child's mother crying in sorrow at home. Now that the child has been found, Muye and Duan Yu are naturally grateful and kneel down to thank them.

Fang Muye comforted the woman, and then went out with Duan Yu to find the child's father and grandfather, telling them that the child had returned home. After receiving their expressions of gratitude, Fang Muye set out again on his journey to Dali City.
