Su He also sheathed the Tai Xuan Sword and bowed, saying, "Junior Su He greets Senior."

The old swordsman's eyes were sharp as he sized up Su He and said in a deep voice, "Since you've managed to find this place, you must have come for that broken sword."

Su He quickly asked, "Does Senior know the whereabouts of the broken sword?"

The old swordsman sighed, a hint of sorrow in his eyes.

"This broken sword is named Lanbi. It is an ancient divine weapon and contains boundless power."

"It was stolen long ago by an evil sect, and it is said to be hidden in their headquarters."

Su He was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Where is that sect? And where is its headquarters?"

The old swordsman shook his head and said earnestly, "This sect is extremely mysterious and acts unpredictably. I've only heard some rumors about it."

"Their headquarters is said to be in an extremely secluded place, which is very difficult for outsiders to find."

Su He was somewhat disappointed, but not discouraged.

He bowed to the old swordsman in gratitude, expressing his determination to find the broken sword.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, the old swordsman said no more.

Before parting, the old swordsman handed Su He a jade bottle.

"This contains a special powder that can be sprinkled out to confuse the enemy if danger arises."

Su He took the jade bottle and solemnly put it into his bosom.

After bidding farewell to the old swordsman, Su He once again embarks on a journey to find the broken sword.

Following the clues provided by the old swordsman, he searched far and wide in the martial arts world for information about that mysterious sect.

Months passed, and he still hadn't succeeded.

That sect seems to be very well hidden; no one knows their exact whereabouts.

Su He was anxious, but this was a process that required patience and perseverance.

He continued to travel to various towns and cities, making friends with heroes of the martial arts world, hoping to obtain more information.

One day, Suhe arrived at a remote town.

The townspeople were very wary of him, an outsider.

Suhe found an inn and planned to rest there for a few days before continuing his journey.

As night fell, Su He circulated his internal energy and regulated his breathing in his room at the inn.

Suddenly, he keenly noticed a dark shadow flash past the window.

Su He felt a chill run down her spine and quietly went to the window to look outside.

The dark figure sped towards the mountains outside the town, its movements unpredictable, as if it were deliberately concealing its tracks.

A bold idea rose in Su He's mind.

Could this mysterious person be connected to that evil sect?

He immediately decided to quietly follow the shadowy figure to find out what was going on.

Su He used his lightness skill to float out of the window like a falling leaf, chasing after the direction in which the dark figure disappeared.

Deep in the mountains and forests, under the cover of darkness, Su He was completely focused, afraid of losing sight of his target.

The shadowy figure appeared and disappeared intermittently, moving through the woods as if it were extremely familiar with the terrain.

Suhe followed closely behind, being careful to avoid making any noise.

After an unknown amount of time, the dark figure finally stopped.

Suhe hid behind a large tree, observing intently.

The dark figure arrived at a secluded cave and made a strange hand gesture.

A beam of red light suddenly shot out from the cave, illuminating the dark figure as if verifying his identity.

A moment later, the red light disappeared, and the dark figure walked into the cave. The cave entrance then closed, as if it had never existed.

Su He was shocked; this cave actually had such a mysterious mechanism!

He had likely found the location of that mysterious sect.

However, more planning and preparation are needed to figure out how to get into this heavily guarded cave.

Suhe quietly withdrew from the mountains and returned to the town.

With the clues given by Qin Hong, Su He finally found the location of the Demon Heaven Sect's headquarters.

The sight before him made him gasp in shock.

The towering black city walls stand dozens of feet high, covered with sharp barbs and eerie runes.

Every so often on the city wall stood a tall tower, with disciples of the Demon Heaven Sect atop each tower, bows in hand, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.

Su He clicked his tongue in surprise, knowing that it would not be easy to infiltrate this place.

After a moment's consideration, he decided to first disguise himself as a disciple of the Demon Heaven Sect in order to investigate the situation inside.

Su He used his disguise technique to transform his appearance into that of a gloomy-faced middle-aged man, dressed in the black Taoist robe of the Demon Heaven Sect.

He strode confidently toward the city gate, but his heart was filled with apprehension.

Two disciples of the Demon Heaven Sect were guarding the city gate. Upon seeing someone approaching, they immediately stopped and questioned them.

"Who are you? What brings you here?"

Su He forced himself to remain calm and said coldly, "I am a Dharma Protector of the Demon Heaven Sect, and I am here on orders."

"Oh? I've never seen you before?"

One of the disciples looked at Su He suspiciously.

"How could you, a mere gatekeeper disciple, possibly recognize all the sect's protectors?"

Su He snorted coldly upon hearing this.

Seeing Su He's extraordinary demeanor and the air of someone in a superior position, the disciple couldn't help but feel intimidated. He quickly smiled obsequiously and said, "I was blind and offended you greatly. Please forgive me, Protector."

Su He said no more, waved his hand, and walked straight into the city gate.

Upon entering the city, one sees winding roads, numerous palaces, and disciples of the Demon Heaven Sect everywhere, each with a gloomy expression and a murderous aura.

Su He was secretly alarmed, but dared not look any longer and could only walk quickly forward.

The Demon Heaven Sect is full of experts; the slightest mistake will expose its weaknesses.

Su He followed his intuition to find the whereabouts of the broken sword, only to discover that the headquarters was so large that it was like a maze.

He navigated the intricate network of roads, his face calm but his heart filled with anxiety.

Where exactly is the broken sword hidden? And what kind of mechanism protects it?

As Su He pondered, he kept an eye on his surroundings.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by out of the corner of his eye, acting furtively, clearly trying to avoid someone.

Su He's heart skipped a beat, wondering if this person knew something.

He immediately concealed his presence and quietly followed the man.

The man was hiding and dodging, clearly on guard against something.

He made several turns and finally arrived at a secluded palace.

Su He held his breath and lay in wait. He saw the man look around and, after confirming that no one was around, he pressed a hidden brick down on the wall.

With a crack, a hidden door appeared in the wall, the person slipped inside, and the door closed silently.

Su He was overjoyed, thinking to himself that there must be a secret here!

He waited a moment and, seeing that no one had noticed, he stepped forward and pressed down the hidden brick.

The hidden door opened again, and Su He walked in without hesitation.

Upon entering the dark passage, all that could be seen ahead was darkness, and no one knew where it led.

Su He focused his mind and gathered his strength, his eyes blazing as he slowly made his way forward in the darkness.

Su He had been lurking in the Demon Heaven Sect's headquarters for many days, but he still couldn't find the whereabouts of the Broken Sword.

He had to pretend to be a disciple of the Demon Heaven Sect every day, practicing demonic arts with others, but he was in great torment.

On this day, Su He was sparring with someone in the training ground when he suddenly heard a cry of surprise.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a slender woman fighting with someone. Her moves were incredibly fierce, and she was making her opponent retreat step by step.
