The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2492 Refuse the Invitation

The two girls pondered over Matthew's words in their minds, carefully considering every detail of them.

At first they thought Matthew's guess was extremely bold and somewhat beyond common sense.

However, when they combined the various information they had encountered before and thought about it carefully, they gradually felt that what Matthew said was not unreasonable.

The behavior of those mutated monsters and the strange powers that emerged in their bodies seemed to be consistent with Matthew's conjecture.

"Master, what should we do next?" Xing Yan took a deep breath and asked Matthew with a hint of determination in her eyes after thinking.

She knew very well that since Matthew overturned the previous conjecture, the previous plan must also need to be changed.

This time, Matthew didn't reply immediately.

He raised his hand and slowly took out a Guiyi Order from his arms.

At this moment, the Guiyi Order was flickering slightly. Obviously, someone was contacting him.

Matthew slowly transferred his magic power into the Return to One Order. As the magic power was injected, the familiar scene appeared.

"Friend Ma, where are you?" As soon as the picture appeared, Murong Zhiyuan's anxious voice was heard from inside.

"Is there something you need from me?" Matthew asked indifferently without telling the other party his location.

He knew in his heart that Murong Zhiyuan suddenly looked for him most likely because of the matter about the demon headquarters below Tongtian Peak, but he did not want to expose his whereabouts easily.

After hearing Matthew's answer, there was a moment of silence in the scene.

Murong Zhiyuan obviously didn't expect Matthew to respond in this way. He was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to continue.

But after just a moment, Murong Zhiyuan's voice rang out again.

"I have gathered more than a dozen fellow Taoists, and we are going to go to the Demon Clan headquarters below Tongtian Peak to set up the magic array. We are short of manpower now, so I would like to invite fellow Taoists to come and participate. This is not to ask fellow Taoists to work in vain, and you will be rewarded handsomely afterwards."

Murong Zhiyuan spoke sincerely, emphasizing his expectations for Matthew and the rewards that would follow.

After hearing what Murong Zhiyuan said, Matthew, Xingyan and Yueru all showed strange looks on their faces.

The three of them looked at each other, with a hint of confusion and vigilance in their eyes.

Matthew was the first to ask, "Can you tell me the names of the Taoist friends who are participating in this? I have grudges against some of them. If they are among them, I will definitely not go."

After Matthew said this, Murong Zhiyuan fell silent again.

Obviously, he had not expected Matthew to ask such a question and was not prepared for the moment.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but then he regained his composure, as if he was weighing whether to reveal the names of these people.

After another moment of silence, Murong Zhiyuan slowly called out the names one by one.

His voice echoed in the cabin, and every name was clearly heard by Matthew and others.

These names were all unfamiliar to Matthew and his friends; they had never heard of any of them.

Matthew's face was calm and he didn't hear anything unusual.

It was not until Murong Zhiyuan mentioned the name of Master Qinglian that Matthew reacted.

The last name Murong Zhiyuan mentioned was Zhang Huaming!

After hearing the last two names, Matthew's eyes instantly became sharp. He snorted coldly and said, "Sorry, Qinglian and I have always been at odds. We can't stay in the same room together. Daoist friend, you should find someone else."

After Matthew finished speaking in an unquestionable tone, he cut off the connection without hesitation.

The light on the Guiyi Order went out instantly, as if nothing that had just happened had happened.

"Murong Zhiyuan may have other purposes in wanting me to go there so urgently. We don't know the other people and we can't control them, but we do need to communicate with Master Qinglian." Matthew said softly after cutting off the connection.

There was a hint of thought in his eyes, as if he was planning what to do next.

"Ms. Qinglian joined them, she must have gone there for Zhang Huaming. I feel she will suffer a loss this time, and a big loss." Xing Yan frowned slightly, her fingers tapping lightly on the table, and spoke softly.

"Zhang Huaming is an elder of the Tushen Temple, and Murong Zhiyuan also cooperates with the Tushen Temple, so they are very likely acquainted with each other. The joining of Master Qinglian is most likely a trap set by them." Yueru slowly expressed her thoughts.

After the two women finished speaking, Matthew had already taken out the lotus that was used to communicate with Master Qinglian.

After transferring the magic power into the lotus, Matthew simply said a few words and then put away the lotus.

After that, even though the Return to One Order flashed frequently, Matthew did not activate it again.

"Murong Zhiyuan's identity may not be as simple as it appears on the surface. Yueru, go back to Beidou City and ask Ouyang Zhang for all the information about Murong Zhiyuan." Matthew said with his eyes turning.

After saying this, he took out two jade bottles and handed them to Yueru.

Asking Ouyang Zhang to do something requires compensation, and elixirs are the best stepping stone.

After putting away the pill, Yueru walked out of the cabin without any hesitation and flew away from the flying boat.

Xing Yan controlled the flying boat to slowly stop, and then sank into a huge white cloud.

Then, Xing Yan released the slowly floating white cloud and stopped it in the air.

"Shi Potian, Bai Chen, the two of you go to the mine on the map now and go underground to check out the situation. Remember, don't alert the enemy. If you encounter something you can't decide, retreat first. You can't let anything happen to you." After the flying boat stopped, Matthew's voice was heard from the cabin.

The two people who were resting on the deck immediately agreed after hearing this and flew out of the flying boat.

Ever since Yueru hurriedly flew away just now, everyone on the ship knew that Matthew would give new orders next.

That's why the two of them agreed so readily.

"Yulong, Lanyue, the two of you sneak into the city below to gather information. You should know what information you want to gather." Immediately afterwards, Matthew's order came out again.

After hearing this, the two of them immediately stood up and said, "We know!"

"Okay, Yue Ling, you go and protect them both." Matthew continued to instruct.

After the three of them left the flying boat, only four alien beast kings were left on the deck.

At this moment, they were looking at the cabin with some anticipation, and wanted to know what tasks Matthew would assign them.

"Four of you, your task is to release your spells into this object. The more the better."

Soon, Matthew's order came.

Along with Matthew's voice, a small ball of light slowly floated out of the cabin.

After the ball of light appeared, it floated straight upwards.

Although the four alien beast kings didn't know what Matthew was going to do, they immediately stood up and flew away from the flying boat.
