The man in black was tall and his entire body was shrouded in a black cloak, obscuring his face.

He stared coldly at Su He, his voice somber: "Su He, you've finally found the whereabouts of the Lan Bi Sword."

"But unfortunately, you can't take this sword with you."

Su He looked at the man in black warily and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you stopping me?"

The man in black sneered, "You think this is the real Lan Bi Sword? How naive."

Su He quickly examined the broken sword in his hand again.

He discovered that although the patterns on the broken sword were similar to those on the Lanbi sword, there were subtle differences.

"This...this isn't the real Lanbi Sword?"

Suhe muttered to himself in disbelief.

The man in black laughed loudly, "Of course not! This is just a replica."

"How could you possibly possess the true Azure Sword?"

Su He was burning with rage. He gripped the Tai Xuan Sword tightly and roared, "Who are you? Why did you deceive me?"

The man in black sneered, "I've said it before, who I am is not important."

"But I advise you to stop searching for the Blue Jade Sword."

"This sword is destined not to belong to you."

After saying that, the man in black vanished from the stone chamber in a flash.

Su He stood there, stunned.

He looked at the fake broken sword in his hand, feeling extremely annoyed.

"I've been deceived! This broken sword is a complete fake!"

"But who exactly is that man in black? Why is he stopping me from finding the Azure Sword?"

Su He fell into deep thought; there must be a major secret behind this.

But for now, he must leave this ancient tomb and continue searching for the whereabouts of the Lanbi Sword.

Su He put the fake broken sword back into the stone coffin, turned around and walked out of the stone chamber.

His pace quickened, and his mind grew with more and more questions.

He secretly vowed to find the real Lanbi Sword and uncover the secret behind it.

Just as Su He was lost in his thoughts, an old voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Young friend, you seem quite interested in swordsmanship."

Su He turned around and found an elderly man with white hair standing behind him.

The old man was short in stature, but his eyes were bright and piercing, revealing a wisdom and unfathomable depth.

Su He looked at the old man warily and said in a deep voice, "Who are you, senior? Why do we meet here?"

The old man smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "I call myself the Sword Maniac, and I have spent my whole life studying the mysteries of the sword."

"I see that your swordsmanship is extraordinary, young friend. You must also have unique insights into the way of the sword?"

Su He's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Senior, you flatter me. I am Su He, and I do have some knowledge of swordsmanship."

"But compared to my seniors, I'm probably just showing off my limited skills before an expert."

Sword fanatic shook his head and laughed, "Young friend, you are too modest. Your swordsmanship has already reached a very high level."

"However, you seem to have something on your mind. Are you looking for something?"

Su He hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell the Sword Maniac about the search for the Lanbi Sword.

After hearing this, the sword fanatic pondered for a moment.

"The Azure Jade Sword? That's a legendary divine weapon!"

"It is said that this sword contains the supreme sword intent of ancient times and is of boundless power."

"But its whereabouts are probably unknown to anyone."

Su He sighed.

"What you say is absolutely right, senior. I have been searching for a long time, but I have no clue whatsoever."

Sword fanatic's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Young friend, I do have a way that might help you find the Azure Sword."

Su He was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Please enlighten me, senior!"

The sword fanatic gave a mysterious smile.

"I possess an ancient sword technique. By practicing this technique, I can sense the aura of the Lanbi Sword."

"But I will only teach this sword technique to those who are destined to receive it."

"If you can help me find the Azure Jade Sword, I will teach you this sword technique. What do you say?"

Su He readily agreed, "Excellent! I will do my utmost to find the Lan Bi Sword!"

Sword fanatic nodded.

"Alright, I will believe your sincerity, young friend."

"However, to find the Lanbi Sword, we will need a set of ancient treasures as a key."

"This set of treasures is controlled by three major families, with each family possessing one piece."

"Only by collecting these three treasures can we open the secret realm containing the Lanbi Sword."

Upon hearing this, Su He's heart sank, realizing that this task was probably not as simple as he had imagined.

"No matter how difficult it is, I will complete the mission and find the Azure Sword!"

Sword fanatic nodded approvingly.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for your good news."

"These three great families are the Frost Moon Family of the Northern Region, the Flame Sun Family of the Southern Region, and the Heavenly Mystery Family of the Central Plains."

"They each possess an ancient artifact; you need to find a way to persuade them to hand it over to you."

"This may not be an easy task, but I believe that with your wisdom and ability, you will definitely be able to do it."

Su He kept Jian Chi's words in mind and secretly plotted how to persuade the three great families.

This will be a tough negotiation, requiring him to use all his wisdom and skills.

But in order to find the Lanbi Sword and uncover the secret behind it, Su He has made preparations.

He bid farewell to the Sword Maniac and embarked on a journey to find the three great families.

Following the advice of the Sword Maniac, Su He first went to the Frost Moon Clan in the Northern Region.

The Frost Moon Clan resides atop a snow-capped mountain in the Northern Region, where they have cultivated the Frost Sword Technique for generations, possessing unparalleled swordsmanship.

Suhe arrived at the Shuangyue family's mansion and saw a magnificent ice palace standing before him.

The ice palace is crystal clear and emits a faint blue light, resembling a fine work of art.

Su He stepped forward and informed the guard of his identity and purpose.

Upon hearing this, the guard respectfully led Suhe into the Ice Palace.

Su He followed the guards to a spacious hall, where a young man was sitting in the center.

The man was dressed in a white robe, with a handsome face and an air of arrogance between his brows.

He is none other than Shuangyue Han, the young master of the Shuangyue family.

Su He stepped forward, bowed, and explained his purpose.

Upon hearing this, Shuang Yuehan let out a cold laugh.

"Su He, I've heard of your name."

"But why should I hand over our family's treasured artifact to you?"

Su He's heart sank, knowing that things were probably not as simple as he had imagined.

He said in a deep voice, "Young Master Shuangyue, I have come here to find the whereabouts of the Lanbi Sword."

"I beg the young master to be kind enough to lend me the treasure."

Shuang Yuehan shook his head: "How can the treasures of my Shuangyue family be lent out so easily?"

"Besides, even if the Azure Jade Sword truly exists, how could a mere Martial Emperor like you be worthy of such a divine weapon?"

Su He was burning with anger, but he forced himself to suppress it.

"Young Master, although my cultivation is not high, I am doing this for the future of the martial arts world."

"I urge you, young master, to reconsider and not to jeopardize the hopes of the martial world for the sake of momentary personal desires."

Frosty Moon gave a cold snort.
