Li Banfeng struggled to move the impossibly heavy Sea Eating Old Car, discovering its wheels must remain on the ground. Afterward, he and Pan Dehai scouted a suitable location for passage, settling on Qingtang Gully due to its hidden nature and peculiar boundary. Pan Dehai left Li Banfeng to practice with the cart and explore the boundary, which proved impassable for his paper man and problematic for the Dark Bridge Cannon.

This time it worked well, the diameter of the shadow reached over thirty meters.

But it's still far from the hundred-meter boundary range.

"Again!" The wife operated a dozen knobs back and forth, adjusting the angles little by little. This shot went out, and the shadow's diameter was only three meters.

A miss.

The wife complained: "This phonograph needle doesn't work, it slipped several times on the knobs, couldn't adjust it properly."

Li Banfeng returned to the Portable Residence and brought out Zhao Xiaowan's puppet.

Entering the puppet body, the wife moved her fingers, the precision of controlling the knobs was sufficient, but the speed was quite lacking, the puppet's arm didn't have the strength of the phonograph's muscles and bones.

"Shall we switch back?"

"No need to switch, just a bit slower, nothing too problematic." The wife tried more than thirty times, finally succeeding once, the shadow extended outward, eventually covering the entire boundary line.

"I'll try walking through it!" Li Banfeng was just about to walk into the wormhole, but the wife stopped him.

"Husband, you mustn't try, such a long Dark Bridge, we don't know if it's stable, let Little Servant adjust the parameters again."

The wife constantly changed the Dark Bridge's parameters, the Dark Bridge barely held for a minute, then disappeared.

It was all thanks to the wife's familiarity with the Dark Bridge that she could stabilize it.

"Little Servant needs to practice several more times, the Dark Bridge being stretched to the limit, with all sorts of changing conditions, at a critical moment, one can't say for sure it'll hold."

Li Banfeng thought of a very important question.

If a peddler needs to cross the Dark Bridge to enter the Three-Head Fork, who will control the Dark Bridge at that time?

...

The next day, the peddler arrived at Qingtang Gully.

Li Banfeng explained Sea Eating Old Car's situation to the peddler, and the peddler laughed, "Don't worry, you don't need to pull the cart, I have other helpers, what we need to do is rescue that group of Three-Headed People."

The peddler unfolded the map of Three-Head Fork: "From here, twenty miles north is Elbow Mountain, there are about ten thousand people on the mountain, the Outside Provinces want to catch them and take them to the City of Sinners, they refused and fled up the mountain, fighting several bloody battles with the Outside Provinces,

the Outside Provinces are serious about eliminating them completely this time, and we're going to get them out, the main difficulty this time is that there are over three thousand Three-Headed People on the mountain, they're hard to deal with."

Li Banfeng was confused: "We're going to rescue the Three-Headed People, why do we need to deal with the Three-Headed People?"

"The Three-Headed People we need to deal with have submitted to the Outside Provinces, these people are called the No Sin Army, their weapons are very good, and their level is not low."

Level?

"Brother, you must be mistaken? Where do the Three-Headed People get their level from? Even the Inner State's Three-Headed People don't have levels, let alone those from Three-Head Fork."

"I'm not talking about the cultivator's level, the Three-Headed People have never had the right entry-level medicine powder, this includes the Inner State and Three-Head Fork, they can't enter the Taoist Sect,

but the Outside Provinces' Guidance Agent works on them, the Outside Provinces call them Dark Energy Users, you should know this."

The Guidance Agent works on the Three-Headed People!

This was something Li Banfeng hadn't expected.

He has the formula for the Guidance Agent!

The peddler said: "This is why the Outside Provinces have never let go of the Three-Headed People, they are the most important combat power for the Outside Provinces on the border line."

"They use the most important combat force to defend against Puluo State?"

The peddler shook his head: "It's not just Puluo State."

"Three-Head Fork is the boundary line between Puluo State and the Outside Provinces, if not defending against Puluo State, then who else?"

"Three-Head Fork is the border of Outside Provinces, Inner State, and Puluo State."

Li Banfeng was taken aback, his perception once again had a serious deviation.

Previously, he always thought this world was concentric circles, with Outside Provinces on the outermost layer, Puluo State in the middle layer, Inner State in the innermost layer.

Now it seems that this idea is completely wrong!

Considering previous judgments, the Inner State and the Outside Provinces are not facing the same star, their star is possibly the Dark Star that the Dark Star Bureau has been researching, and the boundary between them is something Li Banfeng cannot comprehend.

Now isn't the time to tangle with this issue, currently, the focus is to understand the peddler's tactics.

Li Banfeng looked at the map: "Is Elbow Mountain not in the City of Sinners?"

The peddler shook his head: "It's still far from the City of Sinners."

"Since it's not in the City of Sinners, we might as well go around from the New Land." Looking at the map, there are also New Lands around Three-Head Fork, which is much more reliable than crossing the boundary line with a Dark Bridge.

The peddler shook his head: "Every New Land entrance in Three-Head Fork has a boundary, I can get through, but Sea Eating Old Car definitely can't, so if we want to rescue this group of Three-Headed People, we must cross the boundary,

we need to lead these ten thousand Three-Headed People down the south slope of Elbow Mountain, but we can't fight too hard with the Redemption Army, fighting too hard is equivalent to declaring war with the Outside Provinces, then the Inner State will certainly join in, and Puluo State will have a tough time."

So the best way to fight this battle is for me to lead away the No Sin Army, and you to escort the cart to the boundary line, the people I draw away, I'll try to keep alive, those blocking you, you don't need to show mercy, once at the boundary line, I will join you, remember, whether I arrive or not, you must immediately take them across the border, never wait for me,

I can only tell you this, if I say it once the helper arrives, I'm afraid she won't listen, you must trust me, I have many ways to escape from Three-Head Fork, even if I can't make it out, relying on you can't save me, understood?"

Li Banfeng nodded slightly, he was very curious about who exactly the helper the peddler found was.

In the afternoon, the helper arrived, Lu Qianjiao, a strong Arrow Cultivator residing at Jiaoqi River.

She is the peddler's lover, a fierce person.
