Transmigrated Villain: Starting by Removing the Female Lead's Supreme Bone

"But I can't just leave the broken sword like that, can I?"

Suhe was still a little worried.

Zixia took out an exquisite sword box from her bosom and handed it to Suhe.

"This is a specially made sword case from our Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. It can conceal the aura of the weapon so that others won't notice it. You can temporarily put the broken sword inside."

Su He took the sword box and examined it carefully.

The sword case is entirely black, with intricate patterns carved on its surface, exuding a mysterious aura.

He could sense the extraordinary nature of the sword case; it was by no means an ordinary container.

"This sword case is quite a good thing."

Su He exclaimed, "With this, I feel much more at ease."

"With this sword case, you can come with me to find the Old Man of the Lonely Moon without worry. We can take out the broken sword after we find him."

Although Su He was still somewhat unaccustomed to putting away the broken sword, he trusted Zi Xia's judgment.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

As Su He spoke, he carefully placed the broken sword into the sword case and then tied the sword case to his waist.

Asking Su He to put away the broken sword was a difficult decision for him.

"Su He, thank you for your trust."

Zixia said sincerely, "With your help, I feel that this mission will definitely succeed."

Su He smiled and patted Zixia on the shoulder.

"We're partners, so mutual trust is only natural. Besides, you saved my life, and I have to repay you."

"By the way, where does the Old Man of the Lonely Moon live? How do we find him?"

"As far as I know, Lonely Moon Valley is located in the northwest, several days' journey from here. It's a secluded valley, known to very few. We'll have to pass through several towns and cross several mountain ranges to get there."

Suzhou River's journey is unlikely to be easy.

After many days of trekking, Suhe and Zixia finally arrived at a secluded valley.

The terrain here is treacherous, surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, and it seems that few people venture here.

Zixia led Suhe through numerous mountains to an ancient building.

It was a sword-making furnace, and it looked to be several hundred years old.

Su He looked at the sword-forging furnace in front of him with great curiosity.

This is very likely the residence of the Lonely Old Man of the Moon.

Zixia took out a special token from her bosom and gently tapped it on the door of the sword-forging furnace.

With a click, the heavy furnace door slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black passage inside.

Zixia glanced back at Suhe, gesturing for him to follow.

Su He followed Zixia into the sword-forging furnace.

It was dark and silent inside, with an ancient aura permeating the air.

Su He's heart began to race involuntarily, and he felt a vague sense of unease.

At this moment, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the shadows beside him and pounced straight at Su He.

Su He instinctively drew his long sword from his waist and faced the approaching shadow.

Su He used the force to push, forcing the dark figure back a few steps.

But the shadowy figure didn't seem to intend to give up and lunged at Suhe again.

Su He frowned, a surge of anger rising within him.

He swung his sword horizontally, and a burst of sword energy cleaved the dark figure in two.

The dark figure let out a scream and collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Su He took a breath and sheathed his sword.

"What's going on? Why did someone suddenly attack me?"

Zixia's face was also somewhat pale, as if she had been frightened by this sudden turn of events.

"I don't know either... This should be the residence of the Lonely Moon Elder, so there shouldn't be anyone else here..."

Su He's doubts grew stronger.

He began to doubt whether Zixia was really as innocent as she claimed.

Could it be that all of this was a trap set by Zixia to lure me in?

However, Su He did not express these thoughts; now was not the time to question his companion.

"Let's keep searching. The Old Man of the Lonely Moon might be deep inside the sword-forging furnace."

As Su He spoke, he took the lead and walked forward.

Zixia hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

The two searched the sword-forging furnace for a long time, but still could not find any trace of the Lonely Moon Elder.

The forge was covered in cobwebs and dust, indicating that it had not been used for a long time.

Various forging tools were scattered all over the ground, appearing messy and disorganized.

Su He picked up a hammer and examined it carefully.

"It seems that the Old Man of the Lonely Moon has not forged swords here for a long time."

He muttered to himself.

Zixia also looked disappointed; she had originally thought she could find the Old Man of the Lonely Moon here.

"Has he already moved away? But why would he leave here..." Zixia was completely baffled.

Su He put down the hammer and sighed.

"Looks like we've come all this way for nothing. But since we're here, we might as well look around more carefully; maybe we'll find some clues."

Zixia and the other woman began searching inside the sword-forging furnace.

They searched every corner, but found nothing.

Apart from some old tools and materials, there was nothing else in the sword-making furnace.

Su He gradually felt disappointed and frustrated, as he had originally placed high hopes on finding the Lonely Moon Old Man.

There seems to be a peculiar pattern on the ground there.

Su He walked closer and saw that it was an arrow made of dust and iron filings.

The arrow points deep into the sword-forging furnace, seemingly hinting at something.

Su He's heart skipped a beat; this was very likely a clue left by the Lonely Moon Elder.

"Could it have been left behind by the Old Man of the Lonely Moon? Is he trying to lead us in that direction?"

Su He nodded and said, "Very likely. Let's follow the direction of the arrow and see what we find."

Suhe and Zixia emerged from the secluded valley and continued their journey toward the legendary Sword Forging Manor.

Throughout the journey, the two pondered the various unusual events that had just occurred.

The mysterious shadowy figure seemed to know their every move.

The scene inside the sword-forging furnace was also very different from what Zixia remembered.

All signs indicate that something is happening quietly, and they are completely unaware of it.

After several days of trekking, Suhe and Zixia finally arrived at the mountain range where the Sword Casting Manor was located.

Looking into the distance, the mountains are surrounded by towering peaks, resembling a magnificent painting.

But when they approached the villa, they found that the scene before them was very different from what they had imagined.

The gates of the Sword Forging Manor were wide open, the doors were dilapidated, and it seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.

They hurried into the villa, but what greeted their eyes was a scene of ruins.

The once magnificent building is now nothing but ruins.

Everywhere there were collapsed walls and broken rubble, and various broken weapons were scattered on the ground.

The entire manor seemed to have been the site of a fierce battle.

"I remember the last time I came here, this place was thriving. The forging workshops were open day and night, and martial arts practitioners came everywhere seeking swords..."

Su He carefully examined the surrounding ruins.
