Unfortunately, the Emperor’s hand-picked search party failed to produce the “Hero’s Sword.”Truthfully, Xianghua had found the sword, but she disobeyed her orders and destroyed the demonic weapon after learning its true nature.

Soldiers were dispatched and the castle fell, but the sword was never found. Xianghua was summoned, for they required her knowledge and experience.Xianghua had destroyed the evil sword.
