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.

"Who would have thought that the Blood Weeping Curses will evolve inside their bodies!" If not, we have to get rid of him as soon as possible! " How would he know that these two elders were involved in Xuan Wu's tears when they were inside her body?

The black shadow struck out with his palm, and the black palm qi carried a corrosive aura. As long as it hit the two elders, even if it didn't die at that time, their bodies would be slowly corroded.

The black shadow originally thought that the two elders were dead for sure, but to his surprise, the two elders suddenly opened their eyes, and the two of them together struck back at the palm energy. The black shadow was startled and hastily dodged. It was almost corroded by its own palm energy.

"I didn't expect you all to still be alive." He had originally thought that those who were killed by the Blood Weeping Curse would be standing unharmed in front of him. His cultivation was even higher than before, and the shadow was half dead from anger.

"I also did not expect that you would be the person of the imperial edict, Wood Elder." Initially, he did not believe that it was the Wood Elder who did all this. He suspected that many people did not suspect the Wood Elder because the Wood Elder had already been in the Zuo for ten years! If not for that little girl called Shui Qinan's reminder, he really wouldn't have considered that it was something that the Wood Elder had done. When the two elders woke up, they also said that they had been invited by the Wood Elder. The four of them were already severely injured, but they still went to the place that the Wood Elder had mentioned, but what welcomed them was a disaster!

"Wood Elder, Zuo is not bad for you, you're actually so cruel and unscrupulous!" The Third Elder reprimanded.

"Ha, I am a person of the imperial edict. Twelve years ago, it was rare for the imperial edict to rope in your five families within the Yan Qi Kingdom, but you refused it. Why not submit to our imperial edict?" When the black shadow and the Wood Elder saw that the truth had been revealed, they did not hide it anymore. Their eyes shone with a green light.

Has the imperial edict fallen? Or does the imperial edict intend to dominate the entire continent?" A cold voice came from a woman. Mu Lao turned his head to see a girl wearing a purple dress. She had a cold face and was leaning against a pillar with a jade flute. She was looking at him with a strange expression.

"Who are you? Is Bian'er's face ruined by you? " Wood Elder asked coldly. The imperial edict wanted to subdue five families, if his granddaughter could take over any of the family masters, it would be easy for her to, but unfortunately, her plan was ruined!

"Oh, I'm just giving him a little lesson. It's just the beginning. No matter how many times she whips Yi Yun's face, or how many times she cuts, I will pay you back. " Shui Qinan's ice-cold voice sounded out.

The Wood Elder was enraged, he immediately struck towards Shui Qinan.

Shui Qinan's figure flashed, and Wood Elder missed.

"Miss Shui, please allow our Zuo to take care of this traitor." The four elders had always been very close with each other, but now that two of them had died because of the Wood Elder, how could the Fourth Elder not hate them?

Shui Qinan smiled. Alright, let her see the strength of her Zuo now.

"You overestimate yourself." The Wood Elder said in disdain. He did not even put the three people in front of him in his eyes.

A few people started to fight, and for a while, it was no longer easy to fight.

Wood Elder was mumbling something, when suddenly, his entire body was enveloped by a black mist, his white hair turned red, and his eyes shone with a bloodthirsty light.

"Dangerous, you guys be careful!" The clan leader exclaimed in shock. This was the imperial edict's forbidden technique!

Shui Qinan also noticed the change in Wood Elder. She did not know what the black mist was, but the Small Black Turtle inside her sleeves clearly did not like the smell.

Suddenly, it flew out from Shui Qinan's sleeve and bit the Jade Flute in Shui Qinan's hand.

"You want me to blow it?" Shui Qinan asked as she looked at the three people in front of her who had beaten up one Wood Elder and were even being forced to retreat step by step by Wood Elder.
