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

In Lingfeng City

Helian Yun Shen stayed for several days, during which he observed the various Lingfeng Valley disciples appearing in the city.

In the past few days

The highly anticipated Lingfeng Valley disciple never appeared, so Helian Yun Shen had no choice but to settle for second best.

Where is Lingfeng Valley located?

In a secluded alley in Lingfeng City, Helian Yun Shen questioned an ordinary disciple of Lingfeng Valley who was already under his illusionary control.

Under the illusion, Helian Yun Shen's questions were answered in detail.

"Lingfeng Valley is located in a valley a hundred miles outside the city. To enter, one must pass through a maze array outside the mountain gate. Once the maze array is cleared, one can officially enter Lingfeng Valley."

"Write down how you navigated the maze."

He took out the paper and ink he had prepared beforehand from his sleeve, looked at the man, and continued speaking. Hearing Helian Yun Shen's words, without any hesitation, he picked up the brush and began writing on the paper.

The method for safely navigating the maze was quickly written down on the paper.

He put it away and continued to question Helian Yun Shen, watching him.

"What is your name?"

"Wang Gensheng!"

"Write down your techniques and everything else in great detail for me."

Upon learning the man's name, Helian Yun Shen did not stop asking questions. He needed to prepare a foolproof plan to ensure his safety upon entering Lingfeng Valley.

Therefore, he needs more detailed information.

…………

An hour later,

Everything was ready, and Helian Yun Shen put it away. As for the ordinary disciple of Lingfeng Valley, Helian Yun Shen hid him in a location in the city, intending to kill him directly.

However, after thinking about it, I realized he was still useful, so I kept him.

After changing into the man's clothes and taking his belongings, Helian Yun Shen left and headed towards Lingfeng Valley.

Outside Lingfeng Valley

Helian Yun Shen looked around and began to navigate the maze according to the information he remembered.

"The formation is truly amazing!"

After passing through the maze, Helian Yun Shen marveled at it. After praising it, he looked around at Lingfeng Valley before him.

What comes into view are magnificent buildings, which are both ornate and imposing. Moreover, these buildings are constructed according to the layout of the valley, and are well-ordered and clearly layered.

"Token!"

After he finished looking around, he walked toward the Lingfeng Valley gate. Before he even entered, he encountered an obstacle: two disciples guarding Lingfeng Valley reached out to Helian Yun Shen.

Seeing them reach out, Helian Yun Shen took out his token. The two men checked the token and, finding nothing wrong with it, asked Helian Yun Shen a few questions.

Having made thorough preparations, Helian Yun Shen responded to the inquiry with ease.

"go in!"

The token was returned to Helian Yunshen, and the two pointed inside the mountain gate and talked.

After receiving the token, Helian Yun Shen replied to the two with a respectful smile on his face.

"Senior brother, you've worked hard!"

"It's not hard work, it's something we should do."

"Senior brothers, this is a gift from your junior brother to you. You can take this money to Lingfeng City for drinks later."

Helian Yun Shen took out a bag of money and bribed the two men. The two men readily accepted the money.

When they put the money away, they knew they couldn't just accept it for nothing. The two looked at Helian Yun Shen and asked:

"You're pretty clever, kid. So, what do you want?"

"Senior brothers, I am currently an outer disciple. Could you possibly look after me a little? Also, could I possibly wish to join the inner sect?"

Seeing that the two seemed quite knowledgeable, Helian Yun Shen explained what he had prepared in his mind to them. The two frowned upon hearing Helian Yun Shen's question.

They glanced at each other.

The two then turned their gaze to Helian Yun Shen and spoke to him.

"Entering the inner sect requires a certain level of strength. Although your senior brother can help you in some areas, there are many areas where he can't help you."

"Senior brother, I wonder if my strength is sufficient to enter the inner sect?"

Having learned about Helian Yun Shen's abilities, he unleashed his power at the Vajra Mortal Realm level. The two men, sensing Helian Yun Shen's strength, nodded in agreement.

"Junior brother, your current strength is indeed quite good. When the time comes, your senior brother and I will follow the instructions of the relevant assessment elders and arrange the appropriate assessment for you."

Furthermore, I'll pull some strings for my junior brother and try to get him a good elder to teach him martial arts.

"I thank you both here."

"You're welcome!"

…………

After finishing his conversation with them, Helian Yun Shen entered Lingfeng Valley. Once inside, Helian Yun Shen didn't rush to search for anything; he planned to lie low for a while.

It would be better to try to understand Lingfeng Valley more thoroughly.

"Gensheng, where did you just go?"

A voice called out from not far away, and Helian Yun Shen was slightly taken aback upon hearing it. He then realized that his current identity was indeed Wang Gen Sheng, and that he had already disguised himself as him.

"I just went to Lingfeng City."

Realizing what had happened, Helian Yun Shen turned around and looked at the two people who had already come to his side, asking where he had been. Hearing Helian Yun Shen's reply, the two immediately put their arms around his shoulders.

"Don't we know you? Did you go to the city to find Miss Ruifeng? If you like her so much, why don't you just redeem her from her servitude?"

"I need some more time; I can't do that right now."

Hearing their questions, Wang Gensheng spoke with a hint of perfunctoriness. The two men, upon hearing Helian Yun Shen's words, gave him a meaningful look.

Helian Yun Shen felt a little uneasy looking at it.

"You're such a coy kid. If you're short of money, your brothers can chip in and maybe that will be enough to meet your needs."

"no need!"

Their brotherhood reminded Helian Yunshen of his own brothers, and when he thought of them, he waved his hands repeatedly to refuse them.

He said this to them while refusing.

Seeing Helian Yun Shen's refusal, these people didn't say anything more and pulled Helian Yun Shen away from there.

…………

Night falls

Under the cover of night, after drugging the person sharing the room with him with a sleeping potion, Helian Yun Shen went outside.

The disguise on her face was also removed at this moment.

"Let's take a look at the location of the Lingfeng Valley Library first. Maybe we can find what I want then."
