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

After having dinner at the Marquis of Zhenxi's residence, Helian Yunshen directly refused Baili Chengfeng's invitation to stay at the residence, having no intention of staying there.

Seeing this, Baili Chengfeng stopped trying to persuade Helian Yunshen to stay and watched him leave the Zhenxi Marquis's residence. Looking at Helian Yunshen's departing figure, he solemnly said to his wife beside him.

"If this person can forge a deep friendship with our child, it will greatly ensure Dongjun's future safety."

"This child is about the same age as our Dongjun, yet he already possesses such strength. There are probably not many people in the world who can make things difficult for him, are there?"

Wen Luoyu nodded.

Baili Chengfeng listened to his wife's words, turned to look at her, and said again.

"Do you know about the 100,000-strong Southern Jue army that invaded Northern Li back then?"

"I understand." He nodded in reply, his eyes filled with doubt.

"The Northern army was unable to withstand the attack before reinforcements arrived. These troops stormed into his town, only to be completely wiped out by his song 'Golden Spears and Iron Horses'!"

That's a hundred thousand elite troops!

How many people in the world could do that?

Filled with awe and admiration, Baili Chengfeng recounted the incident to his wife. After speaking, anger flashed across his face, and he turned and walked towards the mansion.

"That troublesome brat, I'm going to teach him a lesson today!"

"You're such a grown-up, yet you're still so impatient and hasty in doing things."

Wen Luoyu felt helpless looking at her husband like this.

After saying that, she went with her husband to avoid him beating the child badly.

Leaving the Marquis of Zhenxi's residence

Helian Yun Shen found an inn in Qian Dong City to stay at. At night, Helian Yun Shen sat on the roof of the inn, looking at the full moon in the sky.

I am still filled with immense inner conflict!

He hoped he had mistaken someone for someone else at that time, but he also felt that he couldn't have mistaken someone for someone else.

Under such conflicted emotions, Helian Yun Shen picked up the wine pot and took a swig of the wine in it.

Outside Qiandong City

"I've heard that Young Master Huanyin, Helian Yunshen, is also in Qiandong City. Could it be that he's planning to join this mess as well?"

"If he were to join this mess, it wouldn't be good news. Not long ago, he killed almost all of the many martial arts masters from the Famous Sword Manor with a single song."

"Will we be able to handle him when we encounter him?"

"Whether it works or not, I'm determined to go to Qiandong City. He killed my people. How can I not avenge such a crime? Even if I die there, I will find a way to kill him!"

"Tch! Another one spouting nonsense. The last one who said that is already buried with grass growing several meters high. Kill Young Master Huanyin?"

With your skills, someone could take your life in a single move.

Many people want to kill him.

Are you even in the queue?

The man's boastful words drew laughter from the others present, but he ignored it, his gaze fixed on Qian Dongcheng, his thoughts unchanged.

…………

Second day

Helian Yun Shen, who woke up on the roof of the inn, opened his eyes, looked at the rising sun, glanced at the wine he had drunk, and stood up to straighten his clothes.

He went straight back to his room at the inn.

I stayed in the room for a while before leaving the inn. My goal for today was to confirm the result I had in mind.

Walking on the streets of Qiandong City

The already chilling atmosphere of Qiandong City made Helian Yunshen sense something was wrong, an atmosphere that made him feel danger.

I became extra careful as I walked.

As he walked and searched, a familiar melody reached Helian Yun Shen's ears once again, and he quickened his pace upon hearing it.

He jumped directly from the ground to the roof of the house, and after a few more jumps, he arrived near the place where the music was coming from. Looking around, he saw the familiar Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion.

That person was also the one he saw.

"It's her again! Why is it still her? Is it all true? Am I wrong? Have all my expectations vanished?"

Helian Yun Shen looked over and saw Yue Xi, whom he had met that day. Now, she had changed her clothes and was dressed in women's clothing.

Her face remained unchanged, exactly as he remembered, and the tune she played on the piano was also the same as he remembered.

He vaguely remembered her saying that this was a local tune from her hometown, a tune that her mother had given her.

If that's the case, how could she possibly play it, or even know it?

At this moment, the desolation and loneliness in Helian Yunshen's eyes were even greater than on that day, and his once upright figure was no longer as tall and straight as before.

"Helian Yun Shen, what are you doing spying on my young lady here?"

A questioning voice rang out.

Upon hearing the question, Helian Yun Shen turned his head and saw a woman dressed in men's clothing holding a sword. The woman's eyes revealed coldness and vigilance as she looked at Helian Yun Shen.

Upon hearing the woman mention her young mistress, Helian Yun Shen glanced in Yue Xi's direction again.

"Is your young lady named Yuexi?"

With a hint of anticipation, hoping she would utter those two words, the woman instantly became wary upon hearing Helian Yun Shen's words and simultaneously launched an attack on him.

"How do you know my young lady's name? Are you a henchman of the Northern Li court?!"

These words shattered Helian Yun Shen's last hope. At this moment, Helian Yun Shen was utterly devastated and had no desire to retaliate against the woman's attack.

All the dodging seemed to be instinctive.

After several evasive maneuvers, Helian Yun Shen disappeared from the woman's sight. The woman, watching Helian Yun Shen vanish from view, remained unfazed by his disappearance.

"How does he know my young lady's real name? Could this person be from another sect in the Outer Heavens? When has such a brilliant talent ever appeared in the Outer Heavens?"

He muttered to himself.

After muttering to himself, he left and hid again, intending to ask his young mistress about it when he had time.

What exactly is going on.

She had just left this place when she was attacked. Before she could even react, a poisoned needle struck her body, and she felt her body stiffen.

He drew his longsword and turned to face the enemy.

"Who is it?"

Just as she finished speaking, a flash of cold light appeared before her eyes, and the long sword took her life.

She didn't even get a clear look at the enemy before she lost her life.

"You all deserve to die."

"How dare you kill someone from my Outer Heaven! You're courting death!"

The masked man who killed the woman had not yet left when Mo Qixuan, who had just returned, saw him. Mo Qixuan flew into a rage and attacked, brandishing his long sword.

The two fought for more than a dozen rounds in the alley. In the end, Mo Qixuan was even more powerful and killed the masked man. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the man was from another sect in Tianwaitian.

"Those people are still not giving up. They want to write a letter to Miss, telling her to teach them a lesson!"
