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

"this?"

Lei Mengsha felt bad after hearing Helian Yunshen's words. It was indeed not a good thing or a good thing to pair such a beautiful girl with a ghost marriage.

"That depends on Miss Yan's thoughts. It's her business, and we can't interfere. We'll just proceed according to plan."

"Right, we can't afford too many mistakes."

Unlike Lei Mengsha, who hesitated for a moment, Luo Xuan didn't care about the matter. Whether or not to have a ghost marriage was the girl's decision, and no one could stop her if she wanted to.

"That's true, we were indeed overthinking it."

"I'll accompany these two on that trip! Just in case they ruin your plans."

Helian Yun nodded deeply and agreed.

Lei Mengsha and Luo Xuan didn't say anything more after hearing this. Seeing that they had discussed everything, Helian Yun Shen closed his eyes to rest and make sure he was in good condition.

While resting here late at night

Meanwhile, Yueyao and her group continued their battle with the enemy. After dozens of rounds of fighting, Yueyao, through her analysis of these people's martial arts, had a fairly clear understanding of their backgrounds.

"There are people from other sects of Tianwaitian, as well as people from Beili and Nanjue here. It seems that the other sects of Tianwaitian that we have suppressed and those who do not submit to us have joined forces with people from the martial arts world of the other two countries to attack us."

He used his footwork to dodge the enemy's thrusting short sword. Judging from the gleam on the short sword, he knew it was poisoned.

Moreover, it's a poison that kills instantly.

"Young lady, be careful, the weapons these enemies are carrying are poisoned."

Mo Qixuan brandished his longsword, repelling the enemy, and then reminded Yueyao. Yueyao nodded upon hearing the reminder, and then dealt with the enemy even more carefully.

The long ribbons in her hands were like two white snakes, moving and attacking the enemy. The moment they got close, they were like venomous snakes baring their fangs, heading straight for the enemy's vitals.

Upon seeing this, the opponent brandished his longsword, intending to cut the long ribbon.

The sharp sword struck the long silk ribbon, but failed to cut it. It was as if it had struck steel, leaving it completely unmoved.

Under Yueyao's control, the long ribbon lashed out like a whip, striking the enemy fiercely. The enemy felt the pain and loosened their grip on the sword.

Such a good opportunity

As Yueyao attacked with her long ribbon, she also threw several flying needles at the enemy, who hurriedly dodged them.

However, he was unable to successfully evade the long ribbon.

The long ribbon pierced his chest, and bright red blood splattered onto it. Yueyao, expressionless, easily pulled the ribbon out and then went to face the other enemies.

…………

The battle continues

The number of enemies was also decreasing, and even Yueyao and the others felt a little tired in this high-intensity battle. The fatigue was not only mental fatigue from being highly focused, but also fatigue from the constant depletion of their internal energy.

"Yuexi, watch out!"

Retreat to avoid the enemy's incoming punch.

He noticed the danger on Yuexi's side out of the corner of his eye, shouted, and then swung his long ribbon behind Yuexi.

The long ribbon placed between the two blocked a cold arrow fired from behind by the enemy, buying Yuexi precious time to turn around and attack.

"Miss!"

Zi Yuji gave a very loud reminder.

Yueyao also heard Ziyuji's reminder, but by then it was too late to react. Yueyao clearly felt something tiny sticking up her shoulder.

This feeling made it clear to her immediately.

These are flying needles, and they are very likely poisoned flying needles.

He understood all this, but his expression remained unchanged. He retracted his long ribbon and attacked the enemy who had just ambushed him from behind.

puff!

Under the attack of her inner energy, Yueyao spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood was no longer bright red, but rather a darker, almost blackish color.

"The more you use your internal energy to combat this poison, the faster you will die. You can't use your internal energy anymore."

After analyzing the situation, Yueyao dared not easily expend her inner energy.

This can also temporarily slow down the poison's effects, allowing one to die more quickly.

She thought that way, but the enemy wouldn't think that way.

He held nothing back against Yueyao's attacks, a ferocious smile spreading across his face beneath the mask, as if victory was within his grasp.

"Don't think about it!"

A furious roar was heard.

After dealing with the enemy who had ambushed her from behind, Yuexi rushed to her sister's side and, like Yueyao, used her long ribbon to block all the enemy's attacks.

The repelled enemy was instantly killed by Zi Yuji, who arrived at the scene.

Zi Yuji then stayed by the side of the two young ladies.

"Sister, you'll be alright. You'll be alright."

Looking at her sister, whose lips were purple and whose face was pale, Yuexi couldn't stop the tears from falling down her face, and kept muttering that everything would be alright.

Seeing her younger sister crying so bitterly, Yueyao endured the effects of the poison on herself and comforted her sister.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. This poison gets more potent the more you circulate your internal energy. If I don't circulate my internal energy, the poison won't take effect as quickly."

"Once the antidote is found, we can be saved."

"Qi Xuan, Yu Ji, find the antidote quickly! Hurry!"

Hearing this, Yuexi urged Mo Qixuan and Zi Yuji to find the antidote quickly, because finding the antidote would save her sister.

Mo Qixuan and Zi Yuji, urged by Yuexi, led the people of Tianwaitian to quickly deal with the remaining enemies. These enemies seemed to realize that the situation was getting worse and worse, and a large number of them retreated and ran away.

The remaining people were almost entirely wiped out by the Tianwaitian Sect members led by the two.

After searching for a while, they couldn't find the antidote, but they did find the poison.

"Qi Xuan, this is a kind of poison from our Tianwaitian. It seems that many of our enemies come from Tianwaitian."

"Hmm! If it's poison from our side, there's no way we have an antidote here. If Miss wants to be rescued, she can only return to Tianwaitian, and we don't even know if she can hold on."

Mo Qixuan nodded, replying with a worried expression.

One of the accompanying medical personnel analyzed Yueyao's condition, smelled the poison, and examined its color before speaking to the group.

"This is the Bone-Dissolving Powder from the Outer Heavens. This poison has a characteristic that the longer one practices internal energy, the faster one dies. The young lady seemed to have realized this, so she stopped practicing her internal energy at that time."

The poison wasn't enhanced; we'll use acupuncture to seal the meridians and slow things down, so the young lady can hold on and return to the Outer Heaven.

However, the Heavenly Outer Sect possesses the necessary herbs to create an antidote to cure the young lady.

"Let's return to the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Yuexi immediately ordered them to return.

The others, upon hearing Yuexi's command, didn't hesitate and immediately prepared to return. Yueyao, however, stopped her sister from doing so!

"Yuexi, you absolutely mustn't. Besides cooperating with the Yan family of Southwest Dao, the main purpose of this trip is to bring back someone with a natural martial arts lineage to rescue Father."

So many years have passed.

We can't delay any longer.

When the time comes, you can take Qi Xuan, Yu Ji, and a group of people from the Outer Heaven Sect back with you, and leave a group to escort me back.

I'll come over as soon as I've recovered.

"But……"

"No, but you can do whatever you want by listening to me."

Seeing that her younger sister still wanted to stay, Yueyao sternly stopped her. Yuexi, seeing this, stopped complaining and agreed to her sister's arrangement.

The group then split into two parts. The team that escorted Yueyao back to the Tianwaitian Sect for treatment set off to return to the Tianwaitian Sect. Yueyao was very unwilling to return under such circumstances.

Unwilling to accept it, they could only accept that the day of their reunion was postponed once again.
