Finally, on a secluded mountain wall, they discovered a strange stone statue.

The statue's eyes were two black gems that gleamed eerily in the moonlight.

Su He's heart stirred, and he stepped forward to examine it closely, discovering that there was a small groove on the base of the stone statue.

He recalled the clue Shen Mengqi had given him: the entrance to the Demon Heaven Sect's secret chamber required a special key to open.

Su He took out an ancient coin from his pocket, which he had stolen from a room. It had a peculiar pattern on it.

He placed the ancient coin into the groove, and with a click, the stone statue's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a hidden door in the mountain wall.

Su He and Shen Mengqi exchanged a glance, both overjoyed.

They pushed open the hidden door and entered a pitch-black passage.

At the end of the passage was a heavy stone door, covered with strange runes and exuding an evil aura.

Su He concentrated his energy and channeled it into the stone door. With a loud bang, the stone door slowly opened.

A chilling aura swept over us, sending shivers down our spines.

Su He and Shen Mengqi entered the secret room and saw that the walls were covered with all kinds of weapons, all of which were extremely sharp and emitted a cold light.

In the center of the secret chamber, there was a huge stone platform.

"The broken sword should be here."

Shen Mengqi said in a low voice.

Su He nodded, stepped forward, and tried to pick up the treasure on the stone platform.

Just as his hand touched the stone platform, a violent tremor suddenly came from beneath his feet.

"Oh no, it's a trap!"

Shen Mengqi shouted loudly.

Before the words were finished, the surrounding walls suddenly moved, and countless hidden weapons shot out from them, heading straight for Su He and Shen Mengqi.

Su He quickly drew the Tai Xuan Sword, channeled all his inner strength, and created a sword screen in front of him, deflecting all the hidden weapons.

Shen Mengqi was not slow either. She brandished her short sword and, in the cramped secret room, worked with Su He to block all the hidden weapons.

Just as the two breathed a sigh of relief, the stone platform beneath their feet suddenly cracked open, and countless sharp spikes shot out, heading straight for Su He and Shen Mengqi's vital points.

In a moment of desperation, Su He scooped up Shen Mengqi, leaped into the air, and tumbled in mid-air, barely avoiding a fatal blow.

When the two landed, they discovered that the stone platform had completely shattered, revealing a dark hole underneath.

Within the black hole, a sinister aura emanated, sending chills down one's spine.

"Could it be that the broken sword is down there?"

Shen Mengqi said somewhat uncertainly.

Su He frowned, feeling somewhat hesitant.

They've already taken a huge risk to get here, are they really going to continue venturing deeper into this unknown black hole?

Just then, a terrifying roar suddenly came from the black hole, as if something horrible was waiting for them below.

Su He and Shen Mengqi exchanged a glance, both looking hesitant.

"What should we do? Should we go down?"

Shen Mengqi asked in a low voice.

Su He pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "We've come this far, we absolutely cannot give up."

"The Broken Sword is crucial to defeating the Demon Heaven Sect; we must find it no matter what."

Shen Mengqi nodded.

"Alright, I'll go with you."

The two shook hands, took a deep breath, and leaped into the black hole.

Darkness instantly swallowed their figures, as if they had jumped into an unknown abyss.

Falling, falling continuously, the wind whistling in my ears, my clothes fluttering behind me.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally landed on a hard surface.

Su He channeled his inner energy, gathering a ball of light in his palm that illuminated the surroundings.

They found themselves in a huge cave, the stone walls of which were covered with strange patterns and emitted an eerie light.

In the center of the cave, there was a huge altar, on which were placed various evil magical artifacts, exuding an unsettling aura.

"here it is……"

Shen Mengqi exclaimed in surprise.

Su He was also surprised, never expecting that there would be such a place beneath the secret room.

"Look there!"

Shen Mengqi pointed to the center of the altar and said in a low voice.

Su He followed her finger and saw a stone platform on the altar, with strange patterns carved on it.

In the center of the stone platform, there was a broken sword!

The broken sword emitted a faint glow, and its blade was covered with strange patterns that were exactly the same as the designs on the altar.

"It's the Azure Sword! We've finally found it!"

Just as Su He was about to step forward to take the broken sword, Shen Mengqi suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Wait, things aren't that simple."

She said, frowning.

"Look around the altar, it's covered with arrays and mechanisms, it's probably another trap."

Upon closer inspection, Su He indeed discovered that the ground around the altar was covered with strange runes and patterns.

"These formations may seem simple, but they are actually extremely complex. If you are not careful, you will trigger the mechanism, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Shen Mengqi analyzed.

Su He was also somewhat troubled.

They finally found the broken sword, but couldn't easily obtain it, which was incredibly frustrating.

Just then, a terrifying roar suddenly came from deep within the cave, shaking the entire cavern.

"Oh no, something's coming!"

Shen Mengqi's expression changed, and she quickly drew her short sword.

Su He also had a solemn expression, and the Tai Xuan Sword was instantly drawn, its sword aura chilling.

Deep within the cave, a pair of enormous red eyes slowly emerged, radiating a bloodthirsty light.

Immediately afterwards, a huge figure emerged from the darkness, which turned out to be a massive monster!

The monster was pitch black, covered in scales, and spewed green venom from its mouth, making it look extremely terrifying.

"It's a Black Demonic Beast! The Demon Heaven Sect is actually raising such an evil creature here!"

Shen Mengqi exclaimed.

Su He was also startled. The Black Demon Beast was an ancient evil beast with immense strength, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Heaven Sect would resort to such evil means to protect the broken sword.

Su He and Shen Mengqi were locked in a fierce battle with the Black Beast, and were on the verge of defeating the evil creature.

Suddenly, an aged voice echoed from within the cave: "Stop!"

Su He and Shen Mengqi were both startled and quickly sheathed their swords and stepped back, looking warily in the direction from which the sound came.

An old man dressed in a gray robe appeared in the cave at some unknown time. His face was hidden under his hood, so his features could not be seen.

"Who is this senior? Why do you want us to stop?"

Su He asked in a deep voice.

The old man did not answer directly, but slowly walked to the altar, looked at the broken sword on it, and remained silent.

Upon seeing the old man, the black beast ceased its attack and obediently lay down to the side, seemingly showing great reverence for him.

"You've come for this broken sword, haven't you?"

The old man finally spoke, his voice deep and powerful.

"Indeed, I have come for the broken sword."
