The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

Although they are all quite capable and have great potential, Daoji is already unfathomable!

But the only person they know, and still know now, is Xiao Se, not Prince Yong'an, Xiao Chuhe!

They were merely his desolate friends, not supporters in his quest for the throne, or, to put it more bluntly, tools!

"Not just in the martial arts world, but even within the imperial court, after my four years of silence, I'm afraid no one can have high hopes for me anymore?"

Xiao Se thought so, but for some reason, a sentence that Li Xiuyuan had said before suddenly flashed through his mind.

Why worry about tomorrow when we don't know what tomorrow will bring?

"Yes, there's no use thinking about it too much now. We can only take it one step at a time, can't we?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Se shook his head and turned his attention back to the battle.

At this moment, Wushuang summoned two new flying swords, but did not control them!

He closed his eyes in thought, and when he opened them again, he summoned back the six flying swords that were constantly attacking Li Xiuyuan!

"Finished?"

"No, this is only the beginning! Peerless Sword Formation! Activate!"

…………

Chapter 59: Sikong Changfeng's Memories, and the Untold Stories of Li Xiuyuan and the Snow Moon Sword Immortal!

"The 'Peerless' of Peerless City?"

"He is indeed a genius. At such a young age, he can already control the Peerless Sword Box and use eight flying swords!"

"Aside from the issue of his own cultivation level, given the purity of his sword intent, he will naturally become a sword immortal within three years!"

High above the towering clouds, a seemingly mature and composed middle-aged man with a beard, standing on a long spear, arrived at this border region at an extremely high speed, almost as if he were flying.

He seemed to be thinking about something while he was on his way, so he was somewhat absent-minded.

If it weren't for the loud commotion below, he probably wouldn't have known he had arrived at his destination.

However, now that he knows he has arrived at his destination, and considering the people on his side below, well... mainly speaking, it seems that Xiao Se and Tang Lian haven't encountered any danger.

With the idea of ​​making a dashing entrance as soon as possible, he did not land directly. Instead, he relied on his profound cultivation to stay in the air without any discomfort!

This alone shows that the middle-aged man's cultivation level has probably reached the pinnacle of this martial arts world!

Of course... that's indeed the case. The middle-aged man's name is Sikong Changfeng. He is the third city lord of Snow Moon City, the number one gossip in the world... uh, the Gun Immortal!

It's pretty much the same as the original story, although their little princess, Sikong Qianluo, didn't sneak out.

However, given the unified will of the high-ranking members of Snow Moon City regarding the decision to invite the young sect leader of the Outer Heavens back to the sect, it is ultimately best for him, as a representative and authoritative figure, to personally take action!

Otherwise, if it were other people, such as the elders of the Vajra Mortal Realm, they would only have the status to represent Snow Moon City, but without any substantial deterrent power, they would not be able to suppress those forces, let alone Peerless City, which is also one of the four great cities in the world!

"Huh? The guy fighting that peerless brat looks so familiar..."

"It's him?"

Because Li Xiuyuan had no intention of fighting Wushuang at all, he didn't use his internal energy or magic power.

Therefore, compared to the person opposite him, Sikong Changfeng naturally didn't notice him at first.

Right now, the other party is spreading their focus from Wushuang.

Seeing that Xiao Se and Tang Lian were safe and sound, and that the young master of Tianwaitian had not been captured, Sikong Changfeng noticed Li Xiuyuan, who seemed ordinary but was actually unfathomable in Sikong Changfeng's eyes!

There's no other reason than that the other party is from Lingyin Temple!

Because the other party was his second senior sister, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi's, fiancé, well... and the "macho man" who ran away from the engagement!

It is said that when his second senior sister heard the news, the chill emanating from her almost froze half of Snow Moon City!

At that time, I was planning to go to Li Xiuyuan to demand an explanation, but my master stopped me, saying that there were experts in Lingyin Temple, etc. In short, it was like saying that you two were not childhood sweethearts and in love, so you ran away and that was it.

It's not worth causing trouble over this.

And then...

Well... according to Sikong Changfeng's recollection, Li Hanyi didn't seem to have done anything drastic at the time.

However, he knew that his second senior sister's indomitable spirit had been completely unleashed.

In the days that followed, he either secluded himself to cultivate his internal strength or forcibly transformed the clouds and mist on Cangshan Mountain into wind and snow to practice his swordsmanship.

The purpose is probably self-evident, isn't it?

"Well, to be honest, we made things clear back then, whether it was Li Xiuyuan pretending to be crazy and running away from the wedding."

"Or is it all a misunderstanding, or perhaps the other party really did these things because they lost their mind?"

"Anyway, once everyone opens up the conversation, everything will be fine!"

"But it just so happened that it was only a few years after the Demonic Sect's Eastern Expedition, and Senior Brother Baili was in seclusion recuperating from his injuries, leaving Snow Moon City severely weakened."

"We had no choice but to entrust Master Zun to take charge of the overall situation."

"But Master's personality is too cautious, and he chose to suppress his own feelings, which is why Han Yi's anger only grew stronger..."

As the memories that had been dormant in Sikong Changfeng's mind gradually resurfaced, he shook his head with a touch of melancholy and even let out a mock sigh.

However, it seems that their Snowmoon City has recovered to its peak in the past ten years, and even surpassed it.

He felt more confident now.

As long as he slightly restrains his second senior sister and doesn't go too far, nothing serious or worse will happen.

That shouldn't be a big problem, and we won't completely fall out with Lingyin Temple, which is so mysterious that even our master thinks it's not worth provoking.

In that case... wouldn't it mean that when Li Xiuyuan goes to Snow Moon City with the Sixth Prince, it will be a huge, earth-shattering event?

Thinking of this, all the melancholy and sighs on Sikong Changfeng's face disappeared.

Instead, he wore a rather mischievous smile.

"However, despite my Spiderweb organization's overt and covert probing of Lingyin Temple over the years, we haven't gotten any results."

Even when they were "coincidentally" discovered on the spot, the other party did not take any extreme actions.

"But there is one special point that can now be clearly seen."

"That's Li Xiuyuan's martial arts skill, he went from nothing to something... in just ten years!"

"In just ten years, he has cultivated to the point where even the peak of the Free and Easy Realm cannot do anything to him!"

"Is this due to his exceptional talent, or is it the work of Lingyin Temple?"

Sikong Changfeng was certain that he had received accurate information from Lei Men, namely that Li Xiuyuan had almost no martial arts skills and knew nothing about them on the day she ran away from her arranged marriage.

But look at him now. Although he seems crazy and keeps asking for help during a fight, even wanting Tang Lian to help him, he doesn't have the demeanor of a strong person at all. But what you can actually see is that Xiao Wushuang on the other side has already exhausted most of his internal energy and is slightly out of breath, yet he still hasn't been able to defeat him!

In particular, how can that amazing movement technique, lightness skill, be activated without consuming internal energy, but only physical strength?

Based on all he knew, shouldn't only the prequel to the world's number one lightness skill, "Treading Clouds," be able to achieve this?

"Sigh, I was originally planning to make a stunning appearance when he was about to be defeated, so that Li Xiuyuan would owe me a favor!"

"With this favor, even if I fail to stop Li Hanyi and the other party goes too far, it shouldn't make the other party hold a grudge."

"They wouldn't go so far as to seek revenge against Lingyin Temple, would they?"

This is what Sikong Changfeng was thinking.

But is it possible that Li Hanyi might see him and try to kill him, only to end up being the one being manipulated...?

Hmm... it's probably highly unlikely, right?

I remember when Li Hanyi was exceptionally talented, she had already entered the realm of freedom before the elopement incident even happened.

Furthermore, the words of her master over the years had fueled her indomitable spirit, driving her to cultivate with even greater effort. Now, her opponent's strength had likely reached the peak of the Great Freedom Realm, second only to Luo Qingyang among the Five Great Sword Immortals!

On the other hand, Li Xiuyuan has been cultivating for ten years from scratch, and he didn't even start at the age most suitable for cultivation. Now, he has reached the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, which is already quite remarkable!

"Alright, alright, let's wait and see for now. In any case, my dashing entrance will definitely be perfectly planned!"

"I'm a master gunsmith, you know, so I have to pay attention to my appearance, right?"

Sikong Changfeng used his internal energy to stabilize the spear in the air, and then sat down steadily on it.

He neatly adjusted his clothes and, with great interest, continued to look down.

…………

"Senior monk! You can't play like this! Running around like this is just too shameless!"

"In order to get you to really make a move, I pushed my limits and used eight flying swords with the strength of the Free and Easy Realm!"

"Not only that, I also used the Peerless Sword Formation of our Peerless City in an attempt to seal you in place."

"But...but even after all this, I still can't do anything to you, and you haven't made a move yet..."

"You... even if my strength isn't up to your standards right now, you don't have to show me this little bit of respect, do you?"

Below is the battleground between Li Xiuyuan and Wushuang.

Wushuang was seen breaking through his limits, unleashing eight flying swords and launching an attack on Li Xiuyuan using the Wushuang Sword Formation.

At first, it was alright. He hadn't fully mastered the two new flying swords yet, and even the Peerless Sword Formation was poorly arranged. The suppression and restrictive power were not very strong, so it was understandable that his opponent could easily dodge.

But what happens after that?

Perhaps it was his pride that prevented him from even reaching a level where he could make the other party take action.

In that short span of half an incense stick's time, he continuously improved his control over the Cang and Mang swords.

Until just now, thanks to Li Xiuyuan, Wushuang has not only become almost fluent in using the two newly emerged swords, but he has also almost fully comprehended the Wushuang Sword Formation, reaching the limit of the restrictive power that the eight flying swords can currently provide!

But who would have thought that even at this point, he still couldn't touch the other person's body, not even a single piece of clothing!

The opponent's movements were like lightning or a gentle breeze, impossible to catch!

Even now, with his internal energy almost completely depleted and him panting for breath, he still couldn't force his opponent to make a move!

He couldn't hold back any longer; after all, he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he spoke with a rather aggrieved tone.

On the other hand, let's look at Li Xiuyuan's side.

He was stunned for a moment after hearing Wushuang's words.
