Chapter 1704 Fifty-three Divine Refiners
Hua Shengshi put his hands behind his back and slowly spoke, "Actually, the Divine Refiner and the Immortal, forging, and reading are similar, and the process of refining weapons is also cultivation in the final analysis, so do you know what is most important for cultivation?"
"Pure." Su Bujin almost blurted out.
"Well said." Saint Master Hua nodded thoughtfully, "The only way to do one thing well is to only do this one. The original Divine Soldier City was not involved in disputes, did not admire power, did not seek glory and profit, and had no distractions. At that time, the Divine Refiner was just a refining weapon."
Recalling this, Saint Master Hua's face showed a look of nostalgia: "It seems that only at that time is the Divine Weapon City a place where the Divine Refiners can truly display their refining talents."
"The Divine Weapon City has a long heritage, and now it has long been entrenched, is there anything wrong with that?" Su Bujin asked rhetorically.
"Entrenched? Hahahaha......" Saint Master Hua looked up to the sky and laughed, but the laughter was full of sarcasm and loneliness.
For some reason, looking at this old figure, Su Bujin felt a little desolate in his heart.
After a long time, Saint Master Hua restrained his laughter, and said with a gloomy look in his old eyes: "Outside the gold and jade, the corruption is in it, what is deeply rooted, and the interior of the current Divine Soldier City has long been eaten away."
Su Bujin also wanted to comfort the city lord of Shenbing City for a few words, and persuaded, "Are you thinking too much, but you are the deputy city lord of Diao.......
"Is it really just Deputy City Lord Diao?" Before Su Bujin could finish speaking, Hua Shengshi suddenly stared at Su Bujin, and his sharp eyes made Su Bujin swallow the next words back.
Hua Shengshi retracted his gaze and sighed lightly, "I am the City Lord of Divine Weapon City, can there be anyone in the world who understands the situation inside Divine Soldier City better than me?" Divine Weapon City is no longer the Divine Soldier City it used to be, whether it is the Holy Court or the five major families, they have been trying their best to infiltrate Divine Soldier City all these years."
"In the past, the Divine Weapon City was a pure refining holy land, and there were ninth-level divine refiners sitting in it for generations, but now? The generation inside the Divine Soldier City is not as good as the generation, even if the old man has devoted his life, he can barely reach the threshold of the eighth level, and there are many factions, competing to cling to the ...... I'm about to become a lackey in the power struggle!"
As if he was scolded, Saint Master Hua's cold gaze swept over the elders of the Divine Weapon City, and his voice said without a trace of emotion: "Now these elders in front of you, only a small half are truly loyal to the Divine Soldier City, and the remaining half have the shadows of the Holy Court and the five major families behind them."
"If this continues, the Divine Weapon City will sooner or later become a puppet of the Holy Court or the five major families, and at that time, who will remember that he was just a craftsman who wanted to refine amazing divine weapons......
Hua Shengshi's words made Su Bujin fall into silence for a long time.
The Holy Court and the Five Great Families were cultivating talents in the Divine Weapon City, and Su Bujin was not surprised.
A powerhouse that gathered almost the entire Heavenly Realms with outstanding divine cultivators, who wouldn't want to take it into their own hands?
If you master the Divine Weapon City, you will have a huge arsenal of weapons!
When the value shown by itself is too dazzling, it is destined to attract countless greedy eyes.
The world of flowers is charming, whether you taste the temptation of power, or be threatened and oppressed by brute force...... Once you choose to take sides, whether you choose the right one or the wrong one, you can no longer have anything to do with purity.
"It's really sad that the work I created by myself will be handed over to others as soon as it is born." Hua Shengshi looked at the delicate bone drum in front of him and said with some self-deprecation.
"With all due respect, it is really not easy for the Divine Soldier City to get to where it is today, it is too difficult to be alone after all, and it is not ashamed to be strong in the future." Su Bujin said.
"Just like you led the Qiyuan Realm to surrender to the Underworld?" Hua Shengshi's tone was calm, but there was a sharp edge hidden underneath.
Su Bujin's deep eyes looked directly into the old eyes of Saint Master Hua, and he nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, in order to survive."
"I can't do it." After staring at each other for a long time, Hua Shengshi finally shook his head, "Maybe an old guy like me is just very stubborn, I always believe that there are in this world
Something more important than survival."
"What?"
"Heart."
Saint Master Hua retracted his gaze and said softly, "Since I can't change the status quo with my old age, then I will personally cut off the inheritance of the Divine Weapon City, which is why I want to use the immortal yuan of the eighty-seven ancestors to forge a quasi-eighth-level artifact."
"Then why did you save me again?" Su Bujin asked.
Without answering Su Bujin's question directly, Hua Shengshi said to himself, "Without the inheritance, I only have one thing left to worry about."
"Tell me." Su Bu said.
Saint Master Hua glanced at some of the elders in the Divine Soldier City, "The only thing that still makes me care is that a small half of these people are the Divine Refiners who are unstained from the mud and are loyal to their hearts."
Su Bujin frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"
Saint Master Hua sighed and said, "Now, I am still alive, so neither the Holy Court nor the five major families dare to easily start a civil strife in the Divine Soldier City, but what if I die? These Divine Refiners, who did not participate in the power struggle at all, were either recruited by the Holy Court and the Five Great Families, or ...... Killed!"
The reason why Hua Shengshi regretted it was because he had foreseen the end of the Divine Soldier City, and also foreseen the end of these people who had always adhered to their hearts.
"At this point, there is only one way to go." Hua Shengshi's gaze turned to Su Bujin, and that gaze was full of deep hope, "I'm going to ...... them I entrust it to you!"
Rumble!
These words were like a thunderbolt exploding in Su Bujin's ears, and she wondered for a moment if she had heard it wrong: "Don't play this joke with me."
"Do you think I'm kidding?" Hua Shengshi didn't say anything more, but summoned hundreds of sharp immortal swords and began to strangle the elders of Divine Soldier City on the spot.
As the heads fell to the ground one after another, Su Bujin was sure that Hua Shengshi really wanted to bet on her!
The last head fell to the ground, and Saint Master Hua withdrew the immortal sword and said lightly, "Okay, all the Divine Refiners who are loyal to the Holy Court and the Five Great Families have been killed by me, and the remaining fifty-three Divine Refiners led by the Second Elder of Tongyuan will all be entrusted to you!"
Seeing that Su Bujin didn't reply for a long time, Saint Master Hua spoke again: "Don't be careful about the spirit immortal, I am an elder after all, do you really want me to beg you?"
"How dare you!" Su Bujin hurriedly explained, "I'm only in the realm of spirit immortals, how can He De keep such a group of respected divine refiner seniors?"
Hua Shengshi didn't have any extra nonsense, just stared at Su Bujin tightly, and slowly spit out four words, "Are you willing to help me?"
