Hidden Sword Tomb

After a brief rest, Jiang Ping'an led the Sword Envoy Spirits and Sword Wraiths under his command, continuing to fly toward the bottom of Vengeful Sword Valley.

After flying all the way to the valley floor, they did not encounter another Sword Envoy Spirit or Sword Wraith. They had likely all gone into hiding.

The valley floor was deathly silent. Rusted broken swords were embedded throughout the barren black earth and the ruined walls. Collapsed sword platforms had crumbled into dust, while the shattered plaque of the Profound Firmament Sword Sect lay half-buried beneath rubble, its lettering blurred by Killing Intent. Moss crept across sword marks and dark-red cracks in the stone. The entire valley floor was as still as an Ancient Tomb.

Jiang Ping'an was not worried that he could not see the native Sword Envoy Spirits and Sword Wraiths. No matter how well they hid, it would be useless.

Because he had Zhang Kaifeng, a Sword Envoy Spirit.

The Sword Wraiths were muddleheaded. Without guidance, they could not find their hiding places, but Zhang Kaifeng was different.

"Zhang Kaifeng, where are they hiding?" Jiang Ping'an asked.

Zhang Kaifeng pointed toward a mountain wall on the right. "Master, they are inside the Hidden Sword Tomb."

Jiang Ping'an looked in the direction Zhang Kaifeng indicated and saw an utterly ordinary stone wall. He flew before it and carefully probed it with his powerful Spiritual Sense, finally discovering a faint trace.

It was a stone grain that had nearly blended into the mountain rock.

No wonder the Azure Origin Sect had failed to discover the Hidden Sword Tomb when it destroyed the Profound Firmament Sword Sect.

"Is the Heart of the Nightmare Demon inside?" Jiang Ping'an turned and asked.

"Yes, Master," Zhang Kaifeng replied.

"How do we open it?" Jiang Ping'an
