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

After grumbling about this so-called broken title, Helian Yun Shen stopped paying attention to the matter. He calmed down and focused on his work, which at the moment was composing music and creating even more powerful pieces.

And among these

What Helian Yun Shen wanted to do was to combine the two pieces, "Golden Horse and Iron Cavalry" and "Water Moon Mirror," to create an even more powerful killing melody.

After several failed attempts, he is now trying to figure out how to succeed.

Late at night

As night fell and the bright moon hung high in the sky, the city of Tianqi remained bustling with activity, especially in the inner city where high-ranking officials and nobles resided.

Several figures scaled the wall and entered Helian Yunshen's residence. Relying on their senses, they made their way to Helian Yunshen's study.

In the study

He suddenly opened his eyes while pondering the problem, one hand already on his folding fan. He turned to look outside the door and spoke calmly and coldly.

"Since you're already here, come in!"

The people outside the door didn't seem surprised or flustered when Helian Yun Shen noticed their arrival. They simply pushed open the door and entered Helian Yun Shen's study.

Looking at this group of people whose clothing was somewhat different from that of the people in the Northern Li Central Plains, Helian Yunshen opened his folding fan and gently fanned himself as he continued to look at them and asked questions.

"What brings you gentlemen to my residence?"

"Young Master Huanyin, we would like to make a cooperation with you. Would you be willing?"

When faced with Helian Yun Shen's question, the eldest disciple among them got straight to the point and stated the purpose of their visit. Helian Yun Shen became interested when they mentioned cooperation.

He looked them over and then spoke.

"You wouldn't be planning to cooperate with me and then plot to overthrow the Northern Li Dynasty, would you? If so, you may go and think about this matter."

“Young Master, you are overthinking it. We want to cooperate with you to eliminate the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect. You killed two envoys of the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect in Qian Dong City, so you must be at odds with them to the death.”

We can help you, young master, to destroy the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect.

At that time, the young master will be able to resolve the trouble, and we can also benefit from it.

This is a win-win collaboration.

The eldest brother explained their idea of ​​seeking cooperation to Helian Yun Shen in more detail. Hearing their idea, Helian Yun Shen thought of what he had done in Qian Dong City not long ago.

They did indeed kill two people who were not from Beili.

"That sounds pretty good, but do you think I'm afraid of the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect? This is within the territory of the Northern Li Dynasty. Do you think the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect can mobilize its entire strength to kill me?"

If not, wouldn't sending them one by one be superfluous and redundant?

It's a pretty good collaboration, but Helian Yun Shen has absolutely no interest in it.

To destroy a sect, they traveled a great distance to the outskirts of the Northern Li Kingdom. It seemed like a thankless and arduous task, and the so-called retaliation from the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect never even arrived.

So they happily went over there to kill them.

It would make me seem too ruthless, and besides, this whole thing doesn't seem to be doing me any good.

"Young master, are you really planning to let them keep coming to harass you? If so, have you considered the trouble that might arise?"

If we cooperate, we can easily solve this problem.

Hearing Helian Yun Shen's lack of interest, the senior disciple was still somewhat unwilling to give up and wanted to incite Helian Yun Shen to cooperate with them to destroy the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect.

"It is indeed quite good, but the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect is too far away from me. I don't need to go and destroy them for such a small worry. Besides, destroying them would mean that I would be free from trouble."

There are no benefits left at all.

"I feel that's the most apt description of 'putting in a lot of effort but getting no reward'."

No matter how he tried to entice her, Helian Yun Shen wasn't very interested. After all, it was too far; if it were closer, he could just go there.

It's not worth doing this over a distance.

"Excuse me, young master. If you are willing, you may go to the Outer Heavens. We will be waiting for your arrival at any time."

Unable to persuade Helian Yunshen, he decided to leave.

Getting in is easy, but getting out is not so simple. There's no such thing as an easy way out.

"Did I tell you to leave?"

Helian Yun Shen closed his folding fan, his eyes deep and unfathomable. He spoke coldly to the group, his expression suddenly changing upon hearing this.

These people seemed to have been prepared in advance.

Standing confidently before Helian Yun Shen, he spoke with great self-assurance.

"Young Master Huanyin, you don't think we've just come here like this, without any backup plan, do you?"

"Backhand?"

Hearing this, Helian Yun Shen was a little puzzled. There really weren't many people who could threaten him. Who exactly had they kidnapped?

To be able to have a conversation with him like this here.

"Young Master Zhuomo's daughter, Young Master Huanyin should be quite familiar with her, right?"

"You kidnapped Brother Lei's daughter?"

Upon hearing this news, Helian Yun was greatly alarmed; this was no small matter. Moreover, he couldn't simply ignore it, as it concerned his brother's daughter.

"Young Master Zhuomo's wife is indeed very capable, and the maids in her household are also quite skilled. But we still managed to bring his daughter out of the Lei residence. Would you like to meet her?"

"Aren't you afraid that Lei Meng will fight you to the death?"

With his fists clenched, he dared not make any rash moves at this moment.

We can't gamble on whether these people are deceiving us. If it's fake, all the better. But if it's real, and we've made the wrong bet, then we'll be very sorry to Brother Lei.

"We will leave Beili directly at that time. Once we are out of Beili, we will not be afraid of the so-called Lei Mengsha. Moreover, Beili is very large. Even if Lei Mengsha has three heads and six arms, it is impossible for him to find our whereabouts at all times."

"I'll let you leave my house safely, but you have to ensure the safety of Brother Lei's daughter. Otherwise, I'll kill you even if you run to the ends of the earth."

Helian Yunshen took a deep breath and said this to these people.

What he was thinking was that once he saw that Xiao Hanyi was safe, he would kill those who dared to threaten him.

"Young Master Helian can simply take action!"

Just then, a very unfamiliar voice came from outside the door.

The sound puzzled Helian Yun Shen, and at that moment, the study door was pushed open.

The person who walked over was a man who looked quite old but was cautious and spirited, and in his arms was Xiao Hanyi.
