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

Looking up at the old man who had uttered those words, Helian Yun Shen saw only two words in the old man's eyes!

greedy!

He was greedy for a technique that could grant eternal youth and longevity; he didn't care whether he could successfully cultivate it, all he wanted was to obtain it.

Helian Yun Shen naturally wouldn't let him succeed, thinking that he should end this guy's life now and bury him forever.

Just as they were about to take action,

Suddenly, the thought that if that place still existed, there was a possibility that others might obtain this evil technique.

The moment I thought of this,

Helian Yun Shen had only one thought!

That would be to completely destroy these evil techniques in the past, making them disappear from the world forever, thus solving the problem once and for all.

Driven by this idea

Looking down at the man who was on the verge of death, he asked him again.

"Where did you obtain this vicious and demonic technique?"

“There is a bottomless cliff crevice 800 li southeast of here, where I obtained it by chance.”

Faced with Helian Yun Shen's questioning, this guy explained everything to Helian Yun Shen. The villagers here were greedy and already plotting where to get this thing, so that they could live longer and become immortal.

The moment he finished speaking, Helian Yun Shen increased the pressure on his foot, crushing the man's chest, and the last breath he had left dissipated.

Watching Helian Yun Shen complete these tasks cleanly and efficiently, Yue Yao didn't hesitate at all and used her soft sword to kill the high priest.

The high priest hadn't even finished pleading for mercy when he died!

Looking at the villagers, Helian Yun Shen didn't say a word. He turned around and left immediately, and Yue Yao followed him.

The villagers watched the two leave.

Those greedy people hurriedly left, thinking they could get there first and obtain this god-like skill.

"We need to get there as soon as possible and destroy this evil technique to prevent it from being used by these villagers."

"Ah."

He nodded and hummed in agreement.

After saying this, the two returned to the house of the person they had first rested at, and without saying anything, they mounted their fast horses and headed towards the cliff crevice.

As we rushed out of the village, we saw greedy people on the road.

The greedy people looked at Helian Yun Shen and Yue Yao, and their greed still drove them forward.

Helian Yun Shen cast a simple illusion spell and gave an order, and the villagers who were heading 800 miles to the southeast immediately turned back.

"Young Master Helian, you are so kind."

"They are all ordinary people, with no grudges against each other. Saving a life is an act of kindness and good deeds. It has little to do with being kind."

Helian Yun Shen didn't take this praise to heart. He replied to Yue Yao calmly and then stopped talking.

Beneath the BMW and Mercedes,

Shortly after dawn, the two arrived at the place the man had described and saw the so-called cliff crevice deep in a dense forest.

"How did he manage to descend into such a bottomless abyss to obtain the cultivation technique?"

Standing on the side and looking down, all he could see was bottomless darkness. As he looked, he couldn't help but ask Helian Yun Shen a question.

Helian Yun Shen, who was also looking at the crack in the cliff, had the same question in his mind. At such a height, even a martial artist would have a nine-out-of-ten chance of dying if he jumped down, or even no chance of survival at all.

Given that guy's situation, he was most likely an ordinary person before obtaining this technique, and falling down there would have meant he had no chance of survival.

"There must be some place where he could go down, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to go down there."

In his confusion, Helian Yun Shen could only offer this guess. Just as Helian Yun Shen was deeply puzzled, Yue Yao astutely noticed something different.

"Look here, there are broken steps and walkways, and some of the damage doesn't seem to have happened all at once."

The damage here looks much newer than the broken sections.

These words drew Helian Yun Shen's attention.

Yueyao and I carefully examined the downward steps and walkways. It has to be said that they were very well hidden; you wouldn't notice them unless you looked closely.

Especially those hidden in the cracks.

"In that case, we can just go down from here."

Having said that, Helian Yun Shen used his light power to descend first.

Seeing this, Yueyao had no choice but to follow closely behind Helian Yunshen and go down together.

The damage to the steps and walkways did not have much of an impact on the two of them. With the help of their lightness skills and internal strength, they still reached the bottom of the crack as if walking on flat ground.

When it falls to the bottom

All that could be seen was endless darkness, and the faint glow of a few stars that could be seen when looking up.

Yueyao took out a luminous pearl from her bosom, and the moment the pearl was taken out, the surroundings were illuminated.

"Such a bright luminous pearl is extremely precious. Young Master Xi, you have gone to great lengths for me."

Looking at the luminous pearl, Helian Yun Shen humbly expressed his gratitude.

Yueyao waved her hand at Helian Yunshen after hearing his words.

"It's nothing, just a small bead. Let's find the place where that guy discovered that demonic technique, shall we?"

"Ok!"

The two began their exploration at the bottom under the illumination of the luminous pearl.

After groping around for who knows how long, the sunlight overhead had become quite dim.

Fortunately, the search was not in vain.

"Looking at the broken bricks and tiles here, this should be the ruins of a place that was abandoned by a sect or a reclusive family."

After briefly analyzing the broken bricks and tiles, Yueyao explained to Helian Yunshen, who nodded in agreement.

They then continued walking inside.

Seeing this, Yueyao had no choice but to follow.

During their exploration, the two discovered many broken stone tablets. These tablets were inscribed with many things, but the inscriptions had become blurred and illegible due to the erosion of time.

"These words are all blurred and illegible. Is what that person said true or not?"

"There's no mistake, that guy is already on his last legs. He has no mental resistance whatsoever, and when he's hit by my martial arts, what he says is his truest thoughts."

Faced with Yueyao's wavering, Helian Yun Shen replied firmly. After replying, they continued walking inside, where they made new discoveries.

"The inscriptions on these two stone tablets were deliberately erased. Judging from the marks, it should have been done by those two people."

Upon seeing the two new stone tablets, Helian Yun Shen examined them and explained their condition to Yue Yao. Yue Yao had also seen them and was naturally able to identify them.

So he nodded after Helian Yun Shen finished speaking.
