Chapter 2357: Golden City Attacked
After hearing Matthew's order, Xingyan took the five people away without any hesitation.
Her movements were clean and quick, as if she was already accustomed to such urgent instructions.
She had memorized the map of Southern Xinjiang by heart, and even before Matthew had finished speaking, she already had a clear plan in her mind.
She knew where to send these five people to ensure their safety.
The elders and blood messengers have already drawn up the restrictions and defense arrays in the blood clan headquarters that they know of.
The lines on the drawing are intricate, marking the locations of various dangerous symbols and traps.
Matthew studied the picture carefully, frowning slightly.
Even though there is a defense map, if you don't know what specific magic array is arranged inside, rash action will still bring great risks.
To ensure that everything went smoothly, Matthew summoned Liu Yulong.
Matthew handed him the defense map and asked him to study it carefully.
Liu Yulong took the blueprint, quickly scanned every detail, and then began to ask the elders and the blood messenger about the specific situation of the magic circle.
Yueru also added a few words from time to time. Her questions often hit the nail on the head, helping Liu Yulong better understand the operating principles of the formation.
This made Liu Yulong very surprised. He didn't expect that Yueru also knew about formations.
What he didn't know was that Yue Ru did have some knowledge of formations.
However, the magic arrays that Yueru knew were all from the upper realm, which were completely different from those in the human world, so she rarely used her abilities in this area.
Time passed little by little, and the hall was filled with the questions of Liu Yulong and Yueru, as well as the answers of the elders and the blood messenger.
Matthew stood quietly aside, his eyes deep, as if thinking about something.
He rarely interrupted, only occasionally asking one or two questions at critical moments to ensure the accuracy of the information.
After about a few hours, Liu Yulong and Yueru finally finished asking all the questions.
They already have a clearer understanding of the layout of the formation within the vampire headquarters. Although there are still some uncertainties, at least they are no longer clueless.
Matthew was not in a hurry to kill the elders and the blood messenger.
He knew that the two men's in-depth understanding of the vampires showed that they had an extraordinary status within the vampire clan.
Keeping them might be of greater use.
So, he decided to tamper with the memories of the two and turn them into his pawns.
Matthew walked up to the elder and the blood messenger, slowly raised his hands, and a faint black light appeared in his palms.
His eyes became deep and cold, as if he could see directly through the souls of the two people.
The elders and blood messengers felt a strong sense of oppression and their bodies trembled involuntarily, but they could not resist and could only let Matthew do whatever he wanted.
Matthew began to tamper with the memories of the two.
He implanted his own image into their minds, but deliberately modified his cultivation to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection realm, and also added a clip of being chased by the Golden Armor.
As a result, the memories of both of them became half-true and half-false, containing both real experiences and false information deliberately added by Matthew.
Matthew's plan is to use these tampered memories to lure out the blood dwarf.
Blood dwarfs are cunning and suspicious, and will not show up easily.
But if he knew that Matthew was being hunted by the Golden Armor and his power was greatly reduced, he might not be able to resist taking action and trying to get rid of Matthew.
In this way, Matthew will have the opportunity to lure out the blood dwarf and destroy it in one fell swoop.
Of course, this was just Matthew's backup plan, and even he himself was not completely sure whether it would succeed.
The blood dwarf is much more cunning than ordinary people, and if you are not careful, you may be discovered by him.
After tampering with the memory, Matthew withdrew his hand and looked at the elder and the blood messenger coldly.
There was no warmth in his eyes, as if the two people in front of him were just two insignificant chess pieces.
Then he turned around and left the hall with his men, leaving only the elder and the blood messenger.
The hall suddenly fell into silence, with only the faint candlelight casting swaying shadows on the wall.
After two or three hours, the elders and the blood messenger gradually regained consciousness.
There was a strong sense of confusion in their eyes, as if they had just woken up from a long dream.
In his mind, the memories tampered by Matthew began to emerge, while those real experiences were completely erased, as if they had never happened.
The Blood Messenger rubbed his temple, frowned, and whispered: "Elder, the person we met earlier who was being hunted by the Golden Ancestor should be Matthew, right?"
The elder nodded slowly, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes: "Yes, the person in the portrait that the blood dwarf gave us looks exactly like the person being hunted, except for the color of his clothes. I can be sure that it is Matthew."
The Blood Messenger looked down at his injuries and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately we hid in time, otherwise if the Golden Ancestor really got serious, we would probably have difficulty escaping."
The elder touched the wound on his body, a trace of fear appeared on his face: "Matthew appeared in the southern border and was hunted by the Golden Ancestor. This is a serious matter. We must return to the headquarters as soon as possible and tell the blood dwarf about this."
The two looked at each other, then stood up without hesitation, quickly left the hall, and rushed towards the vampire headquarters.
They didn't know that their memories had been completely tampered with by Matthew, and even his marks had been left in their bodies.
These marks were like invisible shackles that could become tools for Matthew to control them at any time.
However, Matthew did not chase the two men at this moment.
He has returned to the Golden City with his men.
The reason why he hurried back was because he received an emergency distress signal from the Golden Armor.
It turned out that after they left, a large-scale riot suddenly broke out in the Golden City.
The instigator of this riot was the Black Evil Cult.
The Black Evil Cult took advantage of the fact that there were many monks and mixed crowds in the Golden City and carefully planned this riot.
They acted swiftly and ruthlessly, catching the monks in the city off guard.
The Golden City was originally bustling with activity because of the Blood Demon Cave which was about to open, with a large number of monks coming in and out every day.
However, the sudden attack by the Black Evil Cult plunged the entire city into chaos.
Many defenseless monks were injured or even killed in the riot. The streets were full of traces of fighting and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
What's worse is that the Golden Ancestor was actually trapped by an extremely powerful magic formation.
This magic formation was obviously carefully prepared by the Black Evil Sect, specifically used to restrict the actions of the Golden Ancestor.
Although the Golden Ancestor was powerful, he was unable to break through the constraints of the magic circle for a while and could only watch the city fall into chaos.
In desperation, the Golden Ancestor sent a distress signal to Matthew through the Return to One Order.
After receiving the signal, Matthew immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, so he took his men back to the Golden City without hesitation.
When Matthew stepped into the Golden City, the scene before him made him frown.
The streets were full of signs of fighting, many buildings were destroyed, and fires were burning in the ruins.
The members of the Black Evil Cult were wearing black robes and hideous masks on their faces, and were wantonly attacking the monks in the city.
Their movements were in unison, clearly they had undergone rigorous training.
