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

Seeing this scene, Yueyao, who had been kidnapped, was extremely anxious. She had not intended to ruin her image in the eyes of the innocent young man, Helian Yunshen.

Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on her; she misjudged the terror of Helian Yun Shen.

He was indeed naive when he first entered the martial world, but his strength was truly immeasurable, like a pool of clear water. Usually calm and crystal clear, but once it surges, it can bring terrifying, turbulent energy.

It makes people feel swallowed up.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Helian."

Saying sorry in her heart, Yueyao decided to break free from this unbinding bondage.

At this time

A figure appeared behind Helian Yun Shen, delivering a swift chop to his neck. Helian Yun Shen, who was focused on controlling these people with illusion magic, was completely unprepared for such a sneak attack.

The opponent succeeded directly.

"Varied……"

He lost consciousness before he could finish a single word, and his control over these people completely failed. The weapons that were aimed at his neck also stopped.

The maid standing next to Yueyao also breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, she only felt the joy of surviving a disaster and the gratitude of being alive.

"This guy is definitely the innate martial arts talent we've been looking for!"

Her gaze fell upon Helian Yun Shen, and at that moment, she spoke these words with unwavering conviction.

Those held captive outside looked completely bewildered. They had no recollection of their actions and had no idea why they were holding weapons to their necks.

"Sisters, what are you doing?"

Yueqing looked at her sister Yueyao with a cold face, puzzled. She asked her question with great confusion, while Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief. Her image in Young Master Helian's heart hadn't been ruined, and her guilt lessened considerably.

"Nothing much, I just plan to take this guy back to the Outer Heavens. After all, people born with martial veins are very rare in the world, so it's natural to bring him back when we encounter him."

"Just take it back, why add this unnecessary embellishment?"

Hearing her sister's explanation, Yueqing was speechless.

At the same time, she was also very jealous and envious of her older sister Yueyao for being able to meet someone with a natural martial arts lineage so easily, unlike herself who had been searching for a long time without finding one.

In the end, they could only return disappointed and reunite with their sister and the others.

"Young Miss, Third Young Miss, now that we have this guy under control, let's take him back to the Outer Heavens, where he can learn the Void Thought Technique."

That way, the sect leader can be rescued.

At this moment, the maid explained to Yueyao and Yueqing.

Upon hearing the maid's words, Yueyao and Yueqing nodded to her. Receiving this signal, the maid ordered her men to tie up Helian Yunshen.

While binding him, they also covered Helian Yun Shen's eyes with strips of cloth and gagged him. Finally, they sealed Helian Yun Shen's dantian meridians with acupressure to prevent him from being caught off guard again.

Just like this time, if it weren't for the Third Miss arriving in time, they would probably be in grave danger.

…………

Half an hour later,

With everything ready, the group embarked on their journey back to Tianwaitian.

On the road

"Sister, are you so worried that the young man has fallen for her?"

Yueqing noticed that her sister kept glancing at the carriage where Helian Yunshen was being held, and she sensed that something was off about her sister, so she asked her in a teasing tone.

At the same time, what was on my mind was:

If my sister falls in love with someone from Beili, Father will be furious when he finds out. He might even strip her of her position as the successor to the Heavenly Outer Heaven Sect, which would greatly increase my chances of surpassing her to become the sect leader.

Everything my sister enjoys will be mine.

"Xiao Qing, don't talk nonsense. I've only met Young Master Helian once, how could there be any so-called liking! I just feel guilty, after all, he helped me so selflessly back then."

But I schemed against him, used him, and deceived him in this way, and I feel very sorry for him.

Hearing her sister's teasing words, Yueyao shook her head repeatedly, denying such a thing. While denying it, she also explained that her actions just now were simply out of guilt.

In the carriage behind

Helian Yun Shen woke up from his coma and opened his eyes to a dim, blocked light. He tried to speak but found his mouth was gagged.

"Don't struggle at all, just stay put."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

Hearing others' words, Helian Yun Shen could only whimper. But in his heart, he thought:

"I was careless! I thought they were all inside the ruined temple, but there were still some who slipped through the net. I was ambushed from behind."

Master, perhaps my dream of wandering the martial world has come to an end.

At this moment, Helian Yun was reflecting on his actions, lamenting that his dream of wandering the martial world had only just begun and was already facing its end.

"Stop making a fuss here. You'll know where you are when we get there. Don't worry, we won't kill you. You're very useful to us."

Hearing the whimpering sounds coming from Helian Yun Shen, the man sitting in the carriage watching over Helian Yun Shen patted Helian Yun Shen's shoulder and spoke to him patiently.

Upon hearing these words, Helian Yun Shen stopped making muffled noises. He became unusually quiet, lying there pondering what the person had just said.

'Am I of great use to them? What are these people talking about? What use am I to them? Aren't these the people who are seeking revenge against me?'

Or did they think I played the flute very well, and therefore planned to capture me and take me back to play tunes for them?

One question after another surfaced in Helian Yun Shen's mind. After summarizing these questions, Helian Yun Shen came to a conclusion: these people might not be the same group he had encountered in the dilapidated temple.

But who exactly are those people?

He had figured some things out, but new questions kept popping up in Helian Yunshen's mind.

Several carriages continued to travel rapidly along the official road, heading further west towards the location of the Outer Heaven.

"Miss, Third Miss, the first city we will have to pass through is ahead. At that time, the soldiers from Beili will question our carriage."

With that young master tied up behind him, how could he possibly escape?

The guard driving the carriage explained the situation to Yueyao and Yueqing inside. Upon hearing this, a cold glint appeared in Yueqing's eyes as she spoke.

"If bribery doesn't work, we can just kill them. We've already found them. As long as we can leave Beili, that's all that matters."

"Xiao Qing, doing things this way will make our journey ahead very dangerous. We need to find a way to get through this peacefully."

"Sister, if bribery doesn't work, how can we get through safely? At this point, don't be kind-hearted, just like your second sister."
