Inside the cave.
Qiao Na's sudden action
caught everyone off guard.
No one had expected
that after obtaining the short sword,
Qiao Na would do something so inconceivable.
As Qiao Na raised her hand and brought the sword down,
the previously incomparably hard Soul Suppressing Stone
was sliced by the short sword in her hand
as easily as cutting tofu.
A fist-sized chunk of stone
was cut from the corner of the stone door.
Everyone had already seen just how hard this Soul Suppressing Stone was.
So when they witnessed this scene,
everyone was astonished by the short sword's sharpness.
At the same time, Ye Yuan had arrived at an answer.
He had previously wondered
how the ancients had managed to turn such sturdy stone into a stone door.
Now he had his answer.
With the appearance of this short sword, everything made sense.
But precisely because of this result,
the way Ye Yuan looked at the short sword in Qiao Na's hand
became even more fervent.
He did not know whether it was an illusion.
Ye Yuan actually felt a sense of familiarity toward this short sword.
It was as though he had seen it somewhere before.
The feeling was extremely strong.
Yet Ye Yuan was certain
that this was the first time he had seen this short sword
that emitted a bluish-green glow.
Wait...
Bluish-green light.
An unknown material.
This...
Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something.
It was the five bronze keys in his possession that could open the stone doors here.
Other than its sharpness,
everything strange about this short sword was very similar to the keys in his hands.
When Ye Yuan had first obtained the bronze keys,
he had felt that their material was unusual.
He had not thought much of it at the time.
