Chapter 2475 2 places
In the quiet yet somewhat tense atmosphere, Matthew had just finished speaking his guess when he fixed his gaze on Murong Zhiyuan, with a look of expectation and inquiry in his eyes.
Murong Zhiyuan nodded slightly in agreement, his movements calm and restrained.
Then, Murong Zhiyuan raised his eyes slightly, and said with a calm and profound gaze: "Things are indeed as Daoist friend said, but I only cooperate with the Tushen Temple in this regard."
His voice was low and powerful, slowly spreading in the air, and every word seemed to be carefully considered.
After he finished speaking, he waited silently for Matthew's response, looking at him calmly, as if he could see through Matthew's eyes and see into his innermost thoughts.
At this time, Murong Zhiyuan had his own plans in mind, and he still did not reveal to Matthew where the demon headquarters was.
In his opinion, exposing key information too early may cause unnecessary variables.
Although Matthew knew that the God Prison Sea was connected to Tongtian Peak, this was only the limited information he had.
He didn't know where the demon clan's headquarters was hidden. He only relied on his past clues and guesses to have this tentative conversation with Murong Zhiyuan.
"In fact, the demon headquarters I mentioned has two locations. We spent a lot of effort and money to explore them."
Seeing that Matthew was just looking at him without any further reaction, Murong Zhiyuan felt that it was time to say something more in-depth.
He spoke at a moderate pace, trying to make his words more weighty, while also observing Matthew's expression.
Matthew frowned slightly when he heard this.
He knew that Murong Zhiyuan would not reveal important information easily, but when he heard "two places", a ripple still arose in his heart.
"Two places. My previous guess was one of Tongtian Peak and Prison God Sea. My men disappeared in Prison God Sea, and I have always suspected that there is something wrong with that place." Matthew said slowly, his eyes full of seriousness. He tried to find some clues from Murong Zhiyuan's expression, while also looking for support for his own guess.
In order to make Murong Zhiyuan believe his words more, Matthew considered his words again and then revealed some more secretive things.
These things involve some details that only a few people know, and they are clues about the demons that he has secretly collected over the years.
As he spoke, he deliberately slowed down his speech, with a hint of mystery in his eyes, trying to gain Murong Zhiyuan's trust with this information.
Sure enough, after Matthew said this, Murong Zhiyuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
He originally thought that Matthew would be secretive and reserved from him, but he didn't expect that Matthew would say such words at this moment and even bring out these relatively secret things to support his guess.
Murong Zhiyuan wondered in his heart, what was the purpose of Matthew's actions?
Did he really grasp some clues, or was he testing his own reaction?
"I didn't expect that you actually searched for the Demon Clan's headquarters. Yes, the two places you mentioned are indeed the most suspicious. We have also focused on investigating these two places before, but these two places are important bases of the Demon Clan, not the location of the headquarters."
Murong Zhiyuan first nodded in agreement, acknowledging that Matthew's guess was not groundless.
Then he shook his head and rejected Matthew's conclusion.
Of course Matthew knew that the two places he mentioned would not be the headquarters of the demon clan. If it were that simple, Murong Zhiyuan would not have to make it so mysterious.
He had expected this in his mind, but when he heard Murong Zhiyuan's clear rejection, he still frowned slightly and thought in his heart.
However, apart from these two places, he really didn't know if there was any other place where the demon headquarters might exist.
"Then please tell me, fellow Taoist." Matthew said with a smile on his face. The smile seemed relaxed, but in fact it was a little anxious.
Hearing this, Murong Zhiyuan was slightly stunned, and then he realized that all this was deliberately tricked by Matthew.
He was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter and shook his head helplessly.
In his heart, he was somewhat impressed by Matthew's wit and persistence, but he was also secretly alert.
There was a glimmer of cunning in Murong Zhiyuan's eyes. He thought this was an interesting contest, and he was happy to play along with Matthew.
"On ordinary days, those Taoist friends always praise me for my resourcefulness, which makes me feel a little flattered. Taoist friends are truly wise people."
There was a hint of self-mockery and a hint of regret in Murong Zhiyuan's words.
He spoke lightly, as if he was really impressed by Matthew's wit, but in fact, he had been secretly observing Matthew's every move and had his own considerations in mind.
When Matthew heard this, his heart moved, but his face did not show any obvious emotional changes.
He knew that Murong Zhiyuan was testing him, wanting to see his reaction and thus judge his strength.
Matthew raised his eyes slightly, staring at Murong Zhiyuan calmly and firmly, waiting for his next words.
"Okay, then I won't waste my time. The Demon Tribe's headquarters is actually in the Southern Wilds."
After a pause, Murong Zhiyuan finally revealed the location of one of the demon headquarters.
After saying this, he stared into Matthew's eyes, trying to see some reaction from the other's eyes.
After hearing the word "Southern Wilderness", Matthew's brows subconsciously frowned slightly.
He knew this place, but he had never been there.
Although both Nanhuang and Nanjiang have the word "Nan" in their names, they are not in the same position at all, and Matthew is not very familiar with Nanhuang.
His brain was working rapidly, recalling various legends and records about the Southern Wilderness, trying to find some clues related to the demon headquarters.
"Fellow Daoist, since you said there are two demon headquarters, which one are you planning to go to this time? Let's finish our conversation at once. It's really a waste of time to talk about things like this."
Matthew's mind turned, and he asked immediately.
He knew very well that at such a critical moment, any delay might lead to the omission of information, thus affecting subsequent actions.
There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes, hoping to get complete information from Murong Zhiyuan as soon as possible.
Murong Zhiyuan only mentioned one of the two places, and he did not tell Matthew the other place.
Murong Zhiyuan looked at Matthew's slightly anxious expression and laughed in his heart.
He felt that there was nothing wrong in deliberately whetting Matthew's appetite.
He folded his arms, raised his head slightly, and looked mysterious, but was not in a hurry to tell the location of the other place.
Matthew was originally quite patient, but Murong Zhiyuan's hesitant look did make him a little impatient.
There was a flash of displeasure in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
He knew that this was not the time to lose his temper, and he had to remain calm and extract more information from Murong Zhiyuan.
Matthew took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and stared at Murong Zhiyuan, waiting for his answer.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I will naturally tell you the location of the other place."
Murong Zhiyuan looked at Matthew and found it very interesting.
He deliberately paused and observed Matthew's expression.
Matthew's brows furrowed even more tightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of anger and impatience, but he tried hard not to lose his temper.
"The Southern Wasteland may seem desolate and remote, but it actually hides many unknown secrets. The demons have been eyeing this land for a long time, and they have established an extremely hidden headquarters there. The reason they chose the Southern Wasteland is because it has a unique geographical environment and powerful spiritual fluctuations, which is very suitable for them to perform some secret rituals and practices."
Murong Zhiyuan spoke slowly, trying to make his explanation more detailed so that Matthew could have a clearer understanding of Southern Wilderness.
Although Matthew was impatient, he still forced himself to listen to Murong Zhiyuan's explanation.
He knew that if he wanted to know the location of another place, he had to be alert and listen carefully to every word Murong Zhiyuan said.
"Then where is the other place?" Matthew finally couldn't help asking, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.
Murong Zhiyuan looked at Matthew's anxious expression and a faint smile appeared on his face.
He looked around deliberately, as if afraid of being heard by others, and then lowered his voice and said: "The other place is under the ground of Tongtian Peak. This was also discovered by a fellow Taoist accidentally when he was hiding from the demons."
"Everyone thought that the bottom of Tongtian Peak was a thick rock layer, but when that Taoist friend accidentally entered the deepest part of the bottom of Tongtian Peak, he discovered that it was a huge underground space, and there were a lot of monsters in it."
"It was fortunate that fellow Taoist was smart and hid for a long time before finally escaping from there. He was seriously injured when he escaped, and he happened to meet me, so he told me all these things."
After hearing Murong Zhiyuan's words, Matthew fell silent.
He did know that there was a passage at the bottom of Tongtian Peak that connected to the Prison God Sea, but he had never imagined that the demons would set up their headquarters deep underground.
Although he had never thought about this, after Matthew thought about it, he felt that this made sense.
At this point, Murong Zhiyuan had already told Matthew the locations of the two demon headquarters that he had mentioned.
"The formation that Daoyou discussed with Tushen Temple should be aimed at the Demon Clan headquarters below Tongtian Peak first."
Matthew was not a stupid man, and he reacted instantly after Murong Zhiyuan mentioned the location of the second headquarters.
"Fellow Daoist, you are really smart. We are indeed planning to deal with the Demon Clan Headquarters at Tongtian Peak first. The Southern Wilderness is too far away, and we are not familiar with it. We cannot give up the near and seek the far. In addition, the current situation is that this is the base camp of our human world. How can we tolerate the Demon Clan's headquarters here? If we go to deal with the Demon Clan Headquarters in the Southern Wilderness, and the headquarters here attacks us, then we will be attacked from both sides."
Murong Zhiyuan clapped his hands and praised him, then explained the reason to Matthew.
What Murong Zhiyuan said is actually not difficult to guess. If Matthew were making the decision, he would do the same.
Matthew had wanted to go to Tongtian Peak many times before, but was delayed every time.
Later, he realized that it was too dangerous to go there and gave up the idea.
This time, since he knew that there was a demon headquarters below Tongtian Peak, he would definitely go there to take a look at the situation.
"I want to go to Tongtian Peak and take a look." Matthew said after taking a deep breath.
Without waiting for Murong Zhiyuan to speak, Matthew continued, "I said I was going to look for that treasure. Originally, I thought there was only one demon clan headquarters. Now that I know there are two, I can only investigate them one by one. Don't worry, I won't ruin your plan. I won't rush in rashly. I am timid and I will investigate repeatedly before doing anything."
"Well, just having your words is enough. I also believe that you are not a rash person. We are only going there to observe a few important locations this time. Those places are occupied by the demons, but they are important locations for setting up the formation, so we need to investigate them first."
After hearing this, Murong Zhiyuan nodded and this time he readily stated his purpose.
"I can go with you. After we get there, you can do your own thing, and I will act alone. Is this okay?" Matthew said after thinking for a while.
He had to pretend that he was in urgent need of finding the thing he was talking about, so that Murong Zhiyuan would not be able to tell whether what he said was true or false.
"Could you tell me a little more about what you are talking about? I am very curious about things that can leave the human world. As far as I know, things with such effects are extremely incredible and should not exist in the human world." After Matthew finished speaking, Murong Zhiyuan showed a hint of interest on his face and said softly.
How could he not be interested in what Matthew said? When he was talking to Matthew just now, he had been constantly guessing what Matthew was talking about.
Now that the serious business has been discussed, it is time to get more information about that thing from Matthew.
If what Matthew said was true, then the value of this thing was much more important than their plan.
Who would be willing to risk their life to fight the demons? If there is a way to leave the human world, then just leave.
As for the monsters and the human world, it doesn’t matter, as long as I’m safe.
Of course, Matthew guessed that after he mentioned that thing, it would definitely attract Murong Zhiyuan's covetousness, and he had made preparations early on.
"That thing involves too many things, so it's inconvenient to reveal too much. I hope you can understand." Matthew said with a smile.
He didn't even give Murong Zhiyuan the chance to continue asking questions and simply blocked his next words.
The purpose of his coming here was to find out the location of the demon clan headquarters. As for his relationship with Murong Zhiyuan, Matthew didn't care at all.
