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

Accompanying the sound was the aura of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm power emanating from Helian Yun Shen. This aura caused the court officials to turn pale and their faces to look as if they had lost their parents.

'Damn it! Young Master Dai is truly capable of harming people! Why didn't you mention that the other party was a powerful expert from the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm? Are you sure we can handle someone like that?'

"Since things have come to this, why don't you listen to me and go to the Martial Arts Arena in Tianqi City? Fight a battle there and let fate decide whether you live or die. After the battle, the conflict will be resolved, how about that?"

Seeing this situation, some guests in Lei Mengsha's house opened their folding fans and, with an air of elegance, offered their opinions to everyone.

Upon hearing this suggestion, Lei Mengsha's smile widened even further, and he addressed Dai Qian and the other court officials.

"Feng Yun is right, let's go to the Martial Arts Arena! It's a place specially built by the imperial court for people in the martial arts world and those who are belligerent to resolve their disputes and hatreds."

It couldn't be more fitting here!

"Lei Mengsha, if you want me dead, just say so. There's no need for this roundabout way!"

Upon hearing Lei Mengsha's words, Dai Qian was so angry he almost vomited blood. He opened his mouth and roared at Lei Mengsha, while simultaneously feeling terrified.

He had absolutely no desire to go to the so-called dueling arena!

Facing that guy from the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, if I went up there, I could only risk my life!

Get down?

That's impossible; there's no need to even think about it.

"If you have a dispute, this is the best way to resolve it. Otherwise, show me evidence that Yun Shen harmed you. If you don't have any, then get out of my house with these people!"

Dai Qian's rebuttal was met with Lei Mengsha's cold reply, accompanied by a disdainful look. Dai Qian clenched his fists; he had considered everything, but hadn't taken the life-or-death duel arena into account.

Damn it, I miscalculated!

"Young Marquis, you decide this matter yourself! We won't get involved. Young Master Zhuo Mo is right, it's not good to arrest someone without concrete evidence."

If you can provide accurate evidence, we can arrest him.

With a single sentence, they absolved themselves of responsibility while simultaneously shifting the pressure onto Dai Qian. Dai Qian, hearing these comments, was so enraged he wanted to curse them outright, while simultaneously plotting to use his father's connections to deal with these people in court.

"How can someone like me, a mere Vajra Mortal Realm cultivator, possibly defeat a master of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm? Even if we were to enter the arena, we would need to be of equal strength, as that is one of the rules of the arena."

"Lei Mengsha, do you dare to obediently follow this rule?"

With his mind working incredibly fast, he quickly came up with the idea. The moment he thought of it, his previously distressed heart felt much better, and he looked at Lei Mengsha and asked her a question.

Before Lei Mengsha could speak, Helian Yunshen stared at Dai Qian with a pair of cold, gleaming eyes, making Dai Qian feel very uneasy.

Amidst his trepidation, Helian Yun Shen spoke.

"Of course there's no problem, but the problem is what I get if I win? Don't tell me I get your reconciliation!"

Your so-called reconciliation is worthless to me!

Your father's reputation, official position, and title are worthless to me.

If I can't give it to you, I'll have to get it myself. Good luck to you!

"you……!"

Threatened so fiercely, Dai Qian was both shocked and frightened, and uttered only the word "you".

No one dared to continue speaking.

He was caught in a dilemma. How could he face his friends and continue to stay in Tianqi City if he backed down like this?

But then he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to pay the amount the other party wanted, and that the person would eventually turn their attention to him.

"say!"

The two seemingly casual words, "not threatening but angry," struck Dai Qian like a thunderbolt, leaving him deeply shocked. He looked up at Helian Yunshen, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"what do you want?"

These few words already indicated that Dai Qian valued his reputation, had no intention of backing down, and was unwilling to leave this place in such a humiliating manner.

"Let me cripple you, that's fine. Of course, if you think that's too cruel, I can kill you, then you won't find it cruel."

"you……"

These words made Dai Qian want to vomit blood.

After speaking, Helian Yun Shen stood quietly waiting for Dai Qian's reply. Lei Meng Sha listened to Helian Yun Shen's words, which were filled with murderous intent.

His gaze couldn't help but fall on Helian Yun Shen, while in his heart he thought:

What exactly did Yun Shen go through in the past year? Why does he seem so murderous now? He doesn't seem like the Yun Shen we met back then.

"Fine, but if you lose, I'll take your life too!"

Dai Qian gritted his teeth and agreed, but at the same time he ruthlessly demanded Helian Yun Shen's life. Helian Yun Shen responded to Dai Qian's words with a smile.

Dai Qian looked at Helian Yun Shen's smile and spoke again.

"See you at the Martial Arts Arena in three days."

After agreeing on a time, Dai Qian led his men and left Lei Mengsha's residence. The court officials watched Dai Qian leave and then also left.

"Yun Shen, are you confident?"

"I won't lose if we're evenly matched. If I do lose, it's because they're not as skilled. I have faith in my own abilities."

Faced with Lei Mengsha's expression of concern, Helian Yun Shen replied with a smile, and then fell silent.

He reached out and stroked the jade flute in his hand.

"Brother Lei, I'm so sorry to have brought such a bad thing to such a happy day for you."

"If there's anything between us that needs apology, I won't let the other party kill you. Besides, Ruofeng is here. When Ruofeng steps in, everything can be resolved."

"No need! This matter can proceed as it is. My strength has been stuck at the peak of the Nine Heavens Realm for many years. Perhaps this battle will allow me to break through."

Their strength has increased even further!

Lei Mengsha's offer of help was politely declined by Helian Yunshen. In doing so, he also told Lei Mengsha that he planned to use this battle to further enhance his strength.

"OK then!"

Upon hearing Helian Yun Shen's reply, Lei Meng Sha knew not to say anything more and could only go along with Helian Yun Shen's wishes.

Adjust your mindset and then speak to these friends.

"Don't take the little incident to heart. When we eat later, let's all pretend that nothing happened."

"Since everyone has seen this, I will punish myself by drinking three cups as an apology."

"Young Master Lei, you're too kind. It's nothing at all."
