After Shui Qinan left, the Patriarch ordered for everyone to not be allowed to enter the secret room, and also called for a group of experts to guard the room. This made Wood Elder very angry, but Wood Elder took out a bone ring and transferred spirit energy into it. A green smoke came out of the bone ring and it gradually turned into the appearance of a man. Wood Elder thought complacently. Zuo Xiu, you old bastard, do you think that I won't be able to kill the two elders?
”Why did you call me out?” The man formed from green smoke was very impatient.
”Respected lord, I have something that you need your help with.” Wood Elder said respectfully.
”What is it?” The man formed from green smoke asked.
”Help me kill the Third and Fourth Elder.” If the Third and Fourth Elders did not die, they would expose his actions. They might even know that he was not the real Wood Elder and was a person of the Imperial Court.
”Those two things aren't dead yet?” The man formed from green smoke glared angrily at the Wood Elder as he scolded, ”How do you do it? You can't even settle such a small matter. You've hidden in the Zuo for so many years for nothing!”
”Calm down, milord.” Wood Elder kneeled down in fear.
”Whatever, I'll help you this time.” The green smoke man looked at Wood Elder with his hands behind his back, his face extremely gloomy: ”If you fail again this time, then you will not have to return to the imperial court!”
With that, the man released a black colored spiritual energy from his hand into Wood Elder's body. Wood Elder felt satisfied with the amount of spiritual energy in his body becoming more and more abundant as he said: ”This little one will not disappoint.”
The green smoke man looked at Wood Elder and snorted before returning back to the Bone Ring.
Wood Elder carefully put away the Bone Ring in an exquisite box and placed it on his body. With the help of an adult, killing the Third and Fourth Elders was just a matter of eating time.
Shui Qinan and the Patriarch were unaware of the movements of the Wood Elder. The Patriarch looked at the flickering lights in the room and thought about what Shui Qinan had said in the secret room in the afternoon.
”Only the people of the imperial court can use the Crying Blood Curse. Either the people of the imperial government can order people to use the Crying Blood Curse to use the Zuo, or the people of the imperial government have long mixed into the Zuo.”
The imperial edict …
After hiding for so long, it's still coming? With the destruction of the Zuo, the other families would definitely be in danger as well.
The clan leader was very clear that the Blood Weeping Curse would not be decided by the people of the imperial government at the last moment. They were waiting for the right moment. He thought about Shui Qinan's bright eyes. Maybe she had a way to resolve this crisis.
It was already late in the night, and the people guarding outside the secret room were beginning to feel sleepy.
A black shadow dashed into the secret chamber, but no one noticed it. The black shadow sneered in his heart. That old bastard Zuo Xiu really thought that these people could stop him.
The black shadow carefully walked forward, deeply afraid of triggering the hidden mechanism within the secret room.
There were mechanisms within the Zuo secret room, and as long as someone activated it, none of the trespassers would be able to leave the room alive. Who knew that after walking for a while, Black Shadow discovered that the mechanism in the secret room was not activated?
This made the black shadow very excited. He smiled and said, ”Zuo Xiu is really a fool. He didn't even activate the most powerful mechanism in his life. To think that I asked sire for his time spiritual energy.”
The black shadow had already noticed the third and fourth elder sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed. In the dark room, the two elders' bodies were emitting a golden glow, causing the black shadow's vision to blur for a moment.
