The man whose face was covered with pockmarks hurriedly said, “We don’t know this for sure. But there are rumors about her parents… It wasn’t Senior Sister Su’s own fault to be sent to this place.”

“Parents? What did her parents do?” Yun Shu continued.

“This is a taboo in the sect, and the disciples are not allowed to talk about this. There are again rumors saying that her parents betrayed the sect and took away something very important many years ago. Therefore, most Elders don’t like her.”

Yun Shu finally had a basic idea of Su Lingwen’s circumstances. Although he didn’t exactly know what happened to her parents, she herself was innocent.

Since she was innocent, Yun Shu decided to help her!

He didn’t care if someone in the sect was going to jump out and stop him!

“Good.” Yun Shu turned around and walked toward the entrance of the cave.

After Yun Shu left, the disciples suddenly uttered a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground, gasping hard.

Feng He walked Yun Shu out. On their way, he said to Yun Shu, “Senior Brother Yun, I still have one more thing to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Please follow me,” said Feng He, leading Yun Shu to the other side of the cave.

As the cave was, in fact, quite spacious, there were a few forks. Yun Shu followed Feng He and came to a smaller cavern, looking like a secret chamber.

“Several seniors and other disciples once lived in this cave before. After many years, they left some precious books and items! Since now you’re the owner of the cave, they should also belong to you, Senior Brother Yun!” Feng He said to Yun Shu.

“Really?” Yun Shu suddenly became a bit excited.

Feng He nodded and said, “Totally true! There are thirty-eight different kinds of martial art skills in this cave, and the most powerful one has even reached Rank four Ordinary Level!”

His Thunder Move was Rank Eight Ordinary Level, and his Fiend Eagle Claw was Rank Five Ordinary Level.

Rank Four Ordinary Level? That was nothing to Yun Shu.

“Senior Brother Yun, we still have some weapons here. They’re not terrific, but I’ll say they’re rather decent in the valley.” Feng He was quite excited, introducing everything to Yun Shu.

The weapons were nothing special, some even broken. However, people in the Valley of Crime still regarded them as treasures. After all, these things were in limited supply here.

Yun Shu slightly shook his head despite Feng He’s enthusiasm. The so-called treasures were not appealing to him at all.

However, when Yun Shu was about to look away, he noticed something unusual. He walked back to the pile of weapons. Rummaging around, he pulled out an ugly-looking sword.

It was not really a sword, per se; it appeared more like a flattened iron bar. It didn’t have sharp ends, looked rather dark, and the surface was uneven.

“Senior Brother Yun, this is not even finished. We use it to light bonfires. You’re interested in it?” Feng He didn’t understand why Yun Shu had taken a fancy to it.

Yun Shu stared at the black sword, scrutinizing it. “No, this is something special.”

“How?” Feng He was a bit surprised.

Yun Shu just kept looking at the sword. Instead of answering Feng He’s question, he used his golden pupils. Instantly, he saw through the black sword, which appeared totally different now.

“High-quality iron. Made of fine ores. Unfinished…” Yun Shu murmured in a low voice.

Feng He asked, “You know weapons?”

Yun Shu shook his head. “I can just… tell. What’s more important is that there is a stream of ominous air hiding in the sword. I guess this is the reason why it is unfinished.”

“Ominous?” Feng He was a bit nervous. “We should throw it away then.”

Yun Shu smiled. “Not necessarily. It can still be useful. I’ll take this.”

Yun Shu carried the black sword behind his back.

Seeing that, Feng He asked worriedly, “Will something bad happen?”

“No worries,” Yun Shu said. “It’s nothing to me.”

Feng He had nothing else to say on the matter.
