"What's going on?"
Guang Shengjun was also very surprised. Military Advisor Heize and Heavenly King Luo were even more dumbfounded.
"Could it be …"
Seeing how mournful these disciples were, could it be that the old man had died? Heavenly King Luo quickly calculated in his mind. The moment Shen Zhenyi entered, the successor of the Secret Technique Master Craftsman died. Could he report him?
However, he really did not know what the successor of the Secret Technique Master Craftsman said to Shen Zhenyi. If he could not grasp this point, it would be difficult to cut in.
While Heavenly King Luo was thinking, Military Advisor Heize silently floated over like a dark cloud. He said bitterly, "Old Luo, do you want to join forces?"
Going straight to the point was not Advisor Heize's style. However, he was always able to say the most appropriate words at the most appropriate time.
Military Advisor Heize had always supported Heavenly King Luo, but when he developed his power and was about to enter the Elder Council, he changed his attitude and began to suppress him. Thus, the relationship between the two was like a friend and a foe.
This mentality was understandable. At first, Military Advisor Heize was suppressed by Guang Shengjun and desperately needed an ally. That was why he supported Heavenly King Luo. However, after Guang Shengjun retired because of his granddaughter, Military Advisor Heize was naturally willing to nurture an opponent for himself.
However, the situation now was different.
Shen Zhenyi had risen strongly, and he was not alone. Just the three female disciples took up three elder positions. Adding on Guang Shengjun, who was his natural ally, this force took up half of the Elder Council!
In addition, Sha Wuchou and Qiu Feng Ye did not care about anything. Apart from the Great Elder Ouyang Jue, wouldn't they be marginalized?
They had no choice but to work together.
"Military Advisor, you mean …"
Heavenly King Luo was also a shrewd person. Since Military Advisor Heize had spoken, he was naturally happy to comply. He did not even need to agree verbally and directly entered the next step of the process.
What should we do?
Not to mention that Shen Zhenyi had made a great contribution this time, just based on their original strength in the Elder Council, it was not something that Great Heavenly King Luo and Military Advisor Hei Ze could contend against. Their alliance was almost inevitable.
The problem now was only how to deal with it.
"About this …"
Military Advisor Heize looked at Great Heavenly King Luo with a fake smile. "Using someone else to do the dirty work, Old Luo, aren't you also very good at this?"
Others might not be able to tell, but how could he not?
Great Heavenly King Luo had been groomed by Military Advisor Hei Ze himself, so he knew very well what he was thinking.
During the Elders' emergency meeting, Heavenly King Luo didn't appear. When the four Elders attacked the Sixth Order God Realm monster, he didn't appear either. He only appeared at the end to take advantage of the situation.
If it was said that he had followed behind this Sixth Order God Realm monster, Military Advisor Heize wouldn't find it strange at all.
How could Heavenly King Luo do such a thing?
He did not intend to explain. He only laughed coldly and said, "Military Advisor must have a brilliant plan."
"We need to consider this at length."
Strategist Heize watched as the iron wall in front of him collapsed. Shen Zhenyi and the three female disciples stood in the center, while the successor of the Secret Technique Master Craftsman had already fallen to the ground, completely lifeless.
"His spirit is scattered. He really is dead."
Military Advisor Heize sighed softly and lowered his voice. "Seven days later, come to Black Pool Castle. I have something to show you."
After saying this, Military Advisor Heize turned around and left without any hesitation.
Heavenly King Luo was stunned for a moment, then stomped his feet.
The iron-blooded disciples cried and rushed up desperately. They picked up the body of the Secret Technique Master Craftsman and held it high, chanting endlessly.
"… Flesh like iron, my heart will not die!"
Although the lyrics were the same, there was no solemn and stirring feeling in their singing. Instead, there was only endless sorrow.
Cynanchum Chinense was stunned. She had just felt her strength stabilizing and increasing. She hesitantly asked Shen Zhenyi, "What happened just now … That old man, how did he die?"
It seemed that he had used some secret method to increase their cultivation. But if he died because of this, then she would feel guilty.
"Before he died, he turned his essence blood into vitality, nourishing your foundation, dispelling your hidden injuries, and weakening and delaying your curse."
Shen Zhenyi's tone was calm, but there was still a hint of sadness in his silver eyes.
"Speaking of which, you are quite lucky."
Shen Zhenyi did not care about the gentleman's curse, but for the three female disciples, he still had to take it seriously. Now that they had been nourished by the essence blood of the Secret Technique Master Craftsman, even if it was impossible to completely dispel the curse, at least it had delayed the outbreak, giving them more time to prepare.
As for the increase in cultivation, it was insignificant.
"This … the old man died for us?"
Princess Long could not accept it.
"That's not it."
Shen Zhenyi shook his head. "When the Sixth Order God Realm monster invaded, he used the last of his vitality to activate the Ten Thousand Blood Black Iron Formation. He would not have lived for more than three days. The original plan was to take advantage of these three days to choose a successor and give him the essence blood to create a new Secret Technique Master Craftsman. "
He paused and said, "He just happened to meet me, so he did me a favor. You don't have to take it to heart."
"What's more, the Secret Technique Master Craftsman has thousands of incarnations, he just returned to the origin, it's not a real death. Maybe we will meet again in the future."
Eternal reincarnation and the vicissitudes of life were not enough to describe the changes he had seen.
Life and death were naturally very insignificant.
And as Shen Zhenyi said, this was not a real death.
Cynanchum Chinense was relieved when she heard this. As long as it was not her fault, she could accept Master's favor.
Princess Long was still a little worried and asked, "Master, you mean, the successor of the Secret Technique Master Craftsman needs to find the next successor with his essence blood? Now that he used his essence blood to help us nourish our foundation, what about the inheritance? "
The successor of the Secret Technique Master Craftsman used his blood to transform the iron to maintain the Iron Gate. The Iron Gate was the key to King City's iron wall. If there was no successor, how long could the iron wall last?
Princess Long was worried too much.
Shen Zhenyi smiled, "Don't worry, the spirit of the Iron Blood has been passed on, the seeds have been spread out. As long as there is sunlight and water, it will naturally grow into a towering tree. Although he did not appoint a successor, within three days, there will definitely be someone who can transform the iron with blood and rebuild the Iron Gate. "
Just like what they sang in the song, "My flesh and blood will transform into iron, but my heart will not die."
This was the spirit of the Secret Technique Master Craftsman.
With this spirit, there would be miracles.
The moon shone, the Iron Gate was built, and the crows cawed, it was a sad scene.
Tonight, they had suffered such heavy losses, and the sound of sobbing could be heard everywhere. But no matter what, King City still had hope.
The Iron Blood was still there, the Iron Gate was still there.
The disciples carried the corpse of the Secret Technique Master Craftsman and slowly walked into the thick darkness.
