The Legend of the Young Swordsman: A Prequel - A Phantom Melody Embarks on a Journey Through the Mar

Hearing her elder sister's words, Yueqing directly reprimanded her, Yueyao, with a hint of disdain. Yueyao remained silent upon hearing her sister's words, but she knew very well in her heart that she was just as her sister described.

In some matters, they may be decisive but also show excessive compassion, appearing indecisive and unsure how to make a decision.

"Miss, Third Miss, please don't argue like this. We'll decide what to do next."

Seeing that the two young ladies were about to return to normal, the maid sitting in the carriage stepped forward in time to stop their quarrel.

At the maid's prompting, Yueqing stopped speaking to her older sister, turning her head away and coldly refusing to look at Yueyao. Seeing her sister's demeanor, Yueyao also decided not to continue speaking to her.

"Send someone to check the situation at the city gates ahead. If possible, bribe the guards so we can return peacefully."

If that doesn't work, check if there's a way around it.

If all else fails, I'll have to do what my younger sister told me to do.

Looking at the maid, Yueyao gave her instructions.

Upon hearing these instructions, the maid obeyed and left the carriage. Apart from the carriage itself, a few people rode several fast horses and hurried towards the city and pass ahead.

While the entire convoy was traveling at high speed on the road...

In the shadows on both sides of the road, a group of people were lying in ambush. Judging from their attire, they should be a local bandit gang.

"Boss, these guys don't look like easy targets! Should we just let it go?"

One of the underlings, seeing that Yueyao's convoy was not to be trifled with, decided to back down and explained the situation to his boss. The boss, who was standing beside him, listened to his underling's words and slapped him on the back of the head.

He then glared fiercely at his underling.

“We’re never the kind of people we do. How can we make a fortune if we’re always timid and hesitant? Just by looking at their carriage, you can tell they’re not ordinary people’s carriages. They must be very rich.”

If we let them go, we'll be eating dirt soon.

All right, this deal is done.

For the next few months, everyone will be living the high life. If you want to quit, I won't stop you, but don't even think about getting a share of the profits.

After speaking to this underling, he turned to the others behind him and said, "If you do something, you'll live a life of luxury; if you don't, you'll have nothing."

Those who are willing can follow along, and those who are not will not be forced.

Danger can deter people from taking risks, while wealth, riches, and a life of luxury can make people ignore danger and take a gamble.

You can tell what these people are choosing just by looking at them with their eyes gleaming and their spirits high.

"Fire rockets!"

The boss was satisfied with his underling's attitude and turned to give him orders.

Give an order!

The henchmen, armed with bows and arrows, fired their lit arrowheads and fire arrows.

"There is an enemy attack!"

As rockets rained down like a tidal wave, the carriage guards informed Yueyao and Yueqing inside. Upon hearing this...

He raised his hand and lifted the curtain of the carriage to look at the situation outside.

All you can see are these rockets flying in.

A rocket even attacked them, but Yueyao circulated her internal energy and easily deflected the incoming rocket with a wave of her hand.

The rocket was not allowed to penetrate.

"They're just some bandits from the mountains. We can easily take care of them by organizing our men."

Yueqing was completely unconcerned about the attack, her voice filled with arrogance.

The guards outside who heard Yueqing's words began to move about, while on the carriage where Helian Yunshen was.

The noise outside immediately caught Helian Yun Shen's attention, and his ears were very sensitive as he listened to what was happening outside.

What exactly happened outside? Was it a bandit robbery or an enemy seeking revenge?

He kept wondering about the situation outside.

And outside

After firing the rockets, the bandits charged out armed, their large group of over a hundred men looking quite intimidating.

In fact, among these people were some quite powerful individuals, and these powerful individuals were quite a headache for the guards.

Unable to defeat them immediately, a brief stalemate ensued.

"Yueqing, let's go out and help too! When the official Northern Li army arrives, it will be very difficult for us to leave quickly."

Yueyao looked at the situation outside and spoke to her younger sister, Yueyao. Yueqing listened to her sister's words without saying anything and walked directly out of the carriage.

Watching her younger sister walk out, Yueyao also stopped staying in the carriage. The moment the two of them stepped out...

The bandit leader couldn't take his eyes off it.

"I never expected to find such a beautiful young lady in the carriage. This time I really hit the jackpot."

"You lecherous scoundrel, I'll poke your eyes out if you keep looking!"

Being stared at by this rather unattractive guy, who uttered such lustful words to her, Yueqing felt very angry, and her face showed her fury.

He roared angrily in a low voice.

"Blind me? We'll see if you have the ability. If not, come back with me. Don't worry, your brother will take good care of you."

While spewing vulgarities, he stopped fighting the others and attacked the two sisters, Yueyao and Yueqing, with his weapon in hand.

With a swing of his longsword, a burst of sword energy attacked the two of them.

The two sisters watched the other's attack and used their light-footed movements to dodge.

The carriage they were riding in was destroyed by the blade of energy, and the two sisters realized the strength of their enemy the moment they dodged it.

A carefree heavenly realm!

"I never expected someone like you could cultivate to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm. Has the heavens gone blind?"

Looking at this person, Yueqing continued to speak without holding back.

In hand

With a flick of his wrist, he threw several darts, then drew his soft sword from his waist and attacked the bandit leader.

Seeing her sister like this, Yueyao had no choice but to follow. She circulated her inner energy, and the white ribbon she carried with her was enveloped in it as she attacked the person.

"A beauty is a beauty; even the weapons she uses are so pleasing to the eye."

Even as he faced the attack, the bandit leader didn't forget to continue taunting the two. While doing so, he brandished his long sword, slicing through the long ribbon Yueyao was thrust at him.

The knife moves cleanly and swiftly!

He cut the long ribbon, then raised his sword to deflect the soft swords that Yueqing was attacking.

The soft sword coiled around the man's longsword like a venomous snake, and Yueqing exerted her strength to disarm him.

Unfortunately, due to the difference in strength, this plan did not succeed.

Seeing the perfect opportunity created by her sister, Yueyao once again controlled the long ribbon to attack the bandit leader. Seeing this, the bandit leader dared not be so arrogant any longer.

With a burst of strength in the arms, the body's internal energy circulates.

He threw Yueqing directly at Changling!
