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

"Uncle, I have my own things to do and can't teach you for a long time, but it's good for you to study here."

He stretched out his hand and continued to pretend to be mute, gesturing to Pingping and Er Gouzi's family. Pingping was a little disappointed when she heard Helian Yun Shen's explanation, but she quickly hid it.

Er Gouzi, recovering from his initial shock, looked at Helian Yun Shen with a smile and a proud tone, and said:

"Brother Shen, you really amaze me!"

"Don't say that. I just know a little bit of ordinary martial arts. It's nothing special." Faced with Er Gouzi's words, Helian Yun Shen humbly gestured towards Er Gouzi. Er Gouzi, hearing Helian Yun Shen's gesture, remained silent.

The people in charge of recruiting disciples at Potianmen also witnessed what had just happened. Shocked, they immediately arranged for someone to take Er Gouzi and his family inside.

Helian Yun Shen also went in to learn more about the Po Tian Men. During this time, Helian Yun Shen learned a lot about the Po Tian Men.

Through his perception, he could tell that the so-called "Thorough Earth Realm" here was equivalent to their "Free Earth Realm" strength, and that the "Broken Heaven Gate" posed no threat to him whatsoever.

Their so-called sect leader could be killed with a single slap.

…………

The matter of Pingping studying here was quickly settled. Besides the skill that Helian Yun Shen had just shown, they also recognized Pingping's talent.

"Brother, I've been thinking about some things from before, and I feel there are some things I still need to do. So when I get back to the village, I'll just leave."

See you again someday!

Looking at Er Gouzi and his wife, Helian Yun Shen gestured towards them. Although the couple were somewhat reluctant to part, they didn't try to stop him.

After returning to the village,

Helian Yun Shen formally bid farewell to the two and left.

Using his light-footed movement technique, he arrived at the place where he had previously buried some items, dug them out, and looked at the silver ingots in the package.

"This can't be spent here; it seems we'll need to raise some money later."

Having said that, he left the silver ingots there and took the rest of his belongings with him. He looked around at the surroundings, then his inner energy surged.

He moved forward like a gust of wind!

…………

after one day

Helian Yunshen stopped to rest and take a closer look at the world. He used illusion magic to subdue a seemingly powerful individual.

Which sect do you belong to?

"I am a member of the Wind Spirit Sect."

The person being controlled was like a puppet, answering Helian Yun Shen's questions one by one. Helian Yun Shen, hearing that the person was a disciple of a sect, wanted to ask more questions.

If you ask again like this,

Helian Yun Shen learned that the world here was different from their secular world, where there were secular dynasties. This world basically had no concept of secular countries; there were only various sects.

These sects control a portion of the territory based on their foundation and strength, and at the same time, they are like large sects leading smaller sects.

"So this is ah!"

He muttered something to himself, then proceeded to silence the Fengling Sect disciple. After killing him, he ensured his body was completely obliterated. He then used his illusionary techniques to create a disguise.

This disguise makes anyone who sees him think they are the Fengling Sect disciple.

He bent down and picked up some of the tokens from the man's body. After making appropriate disguises, he headed towards the location of the Wind Spirit Sect.

The two disciples guarding the mountain gate of the Fengling Sect could not possibly see through Helian Yun Shen's disguise, and Helian Yun Shen swaggered into the Fengling Sect.

After coming in,

Without any pause, they directly used illusion magic to control the other disciples to further understand the sect.

"It seems that what I thought was right."

Looking at the buildings atop the distant mountain peak, Helian Yunshen muttered to himself before using his light footwork to quickly head towards them.

Upon reaching the summit, the two guards looked at Helian Yun Shen with unusually serious expressions and questioned him:

Do you know who among the outer disciples sent you here?

"I asked myself to come."

He casually uttered those words, then with a wave of his hand, he instantly rendered two people lifeless. After doing this, he strode inside, where the sect leader, who was practicing martial arts, attacked Helian Yun Shen as soon as he entered.

"Who are you and why are you impersonating a disciple of my sect?!"

The question came from the mouth of the sect leader.

Helian Yun Shen didn't reply; he immediately raised his hand and launched an attack with lightning speed, striking the man's chest with a palm strike. His aggressive attack was instantly interrupted, and blood gushed from his mouth.

If Helian Yunshen hadn't held back, that palm strike would have killed him.

"Who are you?"

Clutching his chest, the sect leader continued to question Helian Yun Shen. Helian Yun Shen didn't answer, but instead, his inner energy surged, and he appeared before him in a single step.

A red light shone in his eyes, and he was immediately controlled by the illusion.

His eyes were vacant, devoid of any thought, as he stared at the man. Helian Yun Shen asked again:

"What exactly is your purpose in attacking the other side of the southern ice field?"

"I don't know, it's a decision made by those above. Our Fengling Sect is just a low-level sect, and these things are not something we can know."

The top-tier sects wouldn't tell us these things either.

When faced with Helian Yun Shen's questioning, the leader of the Fengling Sect honestly told Helian Yun Shen what he knew. Upon hearing this, Helian Yun Shen frowned, his face full of displeasure.

After thinking for a moment, he continued to ask:

How are sect rankings determined here?

"A sect that has a person in the Heavenly Realm is a lower-class sect, a sect that has a person in the Lesser Immortal Realm is a middle-class sect, and a sect that has a person in the Greater Immortal Realm is a higher-class sect."

There are very few forces that can be considered top-tier sects; they are also the dominant forces in this world, and they call the shots in everything.

"How would you describe a situation where there are no powerful sects in the Tongtian Realm?"

Hearing this classification, Helian Yun Shen couldn't help but think of the fact that the Broken Heaven Sect, which he had entered with only one person at the Complete Realm, had such a low level of cultivation. What kind of sect was this?

"Any sect that does not have the Heavenly Realm is a third-rate sect. These sects have no voice in this world and are only qualified to be ruled."
