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

"I want to see him, I want to see him, and say sorry to him! I want to see him!" Her voice was so helpless, so heartbreaking. Faced with Yueyao like this, Nangong Chunshui could only shake his head helplessly.

Crossing the ice field to another place is something he, with his current strength at the Human Immortal realm, cannot do, let alone this little girl who is only at the half-step Free and Unfettered realm!

Her strength was such that she couldn't even reach the so-called Fanghu Immortal Mountain.

"Senior, please, please let me find a way to see him!" Helpless and at a loss, Yueyao looked at Nangong Chunshui as if she were grasping at a lifeline, her eyes red and swollen from crying, and she pleaded with him.

Nangong Chunshui shook his head again upon hearing Yueyao's plea. Dongjun, feeling sorry for Yueyao, asked his master, "Master, is there really no way to accompany your sister Yueyao to see Brother Helian?"

"It's not that I can't find him, it's that I don't know where to look for Yun Shen either. Even I can't cross that kind of place with my strength, how am I supposed to find him!" Hearing his disciple's question, Nangong Chunshui replied helplessly. Hearing Nangong Chunshui's words, Yueyao's eyes deepened with even more despair, a sense of impending never seeing him again lingering in her heart.

This thought kept swirling in her mind, and at that moment, Yueyao seemed to have made a decision: even if it meant death, she would try.

Go to the icy plains to find Yun Shen's whereabouts.

"Little one, I advise you not to have such thoughts. If you go there, you might just die there. That place is not one you can set foot in. If you really want to do it, then work hard to improve your strength."

"Once you reach the Earth Immortal realm, you can achieve whatever you desire."

Nangong Chunshui noticed Yueyao's gaze, guessed what Yueyao was thinking, and spoke to Yueyao in a somewhat serious voice, not for Yueyao's safety.

This was to prevent Yun Shen from returning, learning the truth, and regretting it for the rest of his life. While alive, anything is possible; in death, it is the inevitable end.

"Earth Immortal Realm?"

Hearing about this unprecedented level of strength, Yueyao muttered to herself. Lost in thought again, Dongjun, seeing this, urged Yueyao, "Sister Yueyao, when Yuexi and I have both improved our strength, we can accompany you to find Brother Helian. Besides, more people means more strength."

That will definitely allow us to find Brother Helian much faster.

Hearing Dongjun's words, Yueyao slightly raised her head to look at him. Tears still clung to her face, but she had already heard and understood everything Dongjun and Nangong Chunshui had said.

She was pondering whether to search for him now or to improve her own strength before doing so. Her longing for him made her lean towards the first option, while her regaining rationality told her that the place was dangerous.

If anything were to happen to me, all my longing would vanish like smoke, never to return.

This constant internal struggle

Reason prevailed, and the urge to immediately set off to search for it was forcefully suppressed and no longer surfaced in my mind.

Seeing the change in Yueyao's expression, Nangong Chunshui, who was keeping a close eye on her out of the corner of her eye, felt much more at ease.

"Young Helian, this is all I can do for you. The rest depends on your return!"

…………

Time passes

Helian Yun Shen traversed countless distances and uninhabited ice fields, enduring the biting cold winds and the agonizing anticipation of potential defeat.

But he didn't give up and eventually, just like his master Su Baiyi, he saw the sun break through the clouds and the ice field disappear, revealing a world full of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

The climate here is not much different from that in the north; it is a warm place where lush green vegetation grows.

"This must be the place where Brother Su and Master once set foot, right?" Looking at everything in front of him, Helian Yun Shen murmured to himself.

After muttering to himself, he resumed his vigilant demeanor and continued on his way.

After crossing another distance, traces of human activity finally appeared before Helian Yun Shen. Seeing this, Helian Yun Shen remained calm and did not reveal himself directly.

He knew very well that his language was not mutually intelligible with the locals, and he needed to become more familiar with the language to avoid being exposed sooner or later.

"Finding someone to teach me is obviously unrealistic, and even using illusion magic would be very time-consuming and laborious. It would be better to just pretend to be mute and then act like someone in distress."

After pondering these things, Helian Yun Shen decided to pretend to be mute and secretly study, while also taking the opportunity to learn about the local customs and culture.

To enable myself to act more effectively here.

With this thought in mind, Helian Yun Shen looked at his neat clothes and immediately began to tear them to shreds.

Looking at the things Brother Su had given him, he didn't hesitate to choose a suitable place to hide them. Afterward, he found a good spot to conceal himself and observe the area and routes of activity of the people in the area, so that his plan could be implemented more effectively!

Helian Yunshen hid in the tree for an hour, during which no one passed by. Just as he was beginning to have doubts, someone finally appeared.

What came into his view was a burly man dressed in hemp clothing and wearing animal skins. Judging from the tools in his hands, he was a hunter.

"It seems that waiting was worthwhile."

He muttered these words to himself, then cast the illusion at a distance.

The hunter, a man with no martial arts skills, was easily caught in the illusion. He stood there, his eyes glazed over, while Helian Yun Shen climbed down from the tree after he had done all this.

After cleaning up the traces, he also created some other fake traces. Once he had done all that, he lay on the ground pretending to be unconscious.

The illusion surrounding the hunters was dispelled after Helian Yun Shen finished everything, and the hunters, who had been staring blankly, returned to normal. Looking around, one hunter felt that something had just happened.

But I can't quite put my feelings into words!

"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore and just focus on the hunt!"

If he couldn't remember, he simply stopped thinking about it and continued on his way to hunt with what he had in his hands. But after taking only two steps, he saw Helian Yun Shen lying unconscious on the ground.
