The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2474 So that’s it

On this mountain shrouded in silence, time seemed to be stretched by an invisible hand. Every passing breath was like a heavy drumbeat, hitting the two people's hearts again and again, making them feel extremely tormented.

Murong Zhiyuan and Matthew sat opposite each other, their eyes meeting in the air, faintly emitting invisible pressure. Both sides were silently accumulating strength, like a volcano about to erupt, patiently waiting for the opportunity to break the deadlock.

The breeze blew gently, bringing with it a hint of coolness, and rustled the dry grass on the ground.

Murong Zhiyuan frowned slightly, his brows were like two tightly locked hills, and his eyes revealed a hint of deep thought.

He knew that in this confrontation, Matthew could not be allowed to take the initiative all the time.

If he allows this situation to continue, not only will he be unable to find out Matthew's true purpose, but he may also be put on the defensive in the next action, and by then everything may be irreversible.

So, Murong Zhiyuan cleared his throat slightly. This slight sound seemed particularly abrupt in the silent air, breaking the long silence.

He said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Ma, you and I both know that the Demon Clan's headquarters is full of dangers. It is the Demon Clan's lair, with countless evil spells and traps. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger. It's not that I don't trust you, but the dangers are really hard to predict. Although I want to go find someone, I can't ignore my own safety."

Murong Zhiyuan's words were sincere and his eyes were calm, trying to make Matthew understand his concerns.

Matthew nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a trace of helplessness as he said, "Fellow Daoist Murong is right. The Demon Clan headquarters is indeed extremely dangerous, like a huge abyss. If you are not careful, you will fall into an irretrievable place. But I am really worried about the life and death of my subordinate. He has been by my side for many years, like my brother. How can I watch him in danger and do nothing?"

Murong Zhiyuan sighed softly, and his expression became more solemn.

He said, "How about this, fellow Daoist, tell me the real purpose of going to the Demon Clan headquarters. Then I will tell you my plan. After all, in the face of such a dangerous situation, only if we are honest with each other can we cooperate better and overcome the difficulties together."

It was obvious that Murong Zhiyuan didn't believe Matthew's reasons for looking for his subordinates at all.

Murong Zhiyuan's words were already a concession.

He knew that in order to break the deadlock, he had to show his sincerity.

Hearing this, Matthew's eyes turned slightly, and he thought quickly in his mind.

Then, he nodded and said, "I have previously searched the soul of a monster with a special identity, and learned from its memory that there is a treasure hidden in the Demon Clan Headquarters. I cannot tell you the specific name of the treasure, but what I can tell you is that it is related to whether I can successfully leave the human world!"

Matthew’s words shocked Murong Zhiyuan.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked deeply at Matthew.

Of course he knew that no matter how he asked, Matthew would not tell him the real secret.

And this news was something he had never heard of before.

However, just as Matthew thought, Murong Zhiyuan now began to seriously consider what Matthew was talking about.

In this quiet atmosphere, there was only the sound of the breeze blowing the dry grass and the two people's gentle breathing.

Murong Zhiyuan's eyes became deeper, and his brain was working rapidly, trying to find some clues from Matthew's words.

"This matter is confidential, please do not tell anyone else about it."

Matthew took a deep breath and spoke slowly, a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

"I have been searching for the Demon Clan headquarters over the years, but to no avail. The human world is in such chaos now, and I know my abilities are limited, so I have been looking for a way to leave the human world."

After hearing what Matthew said, Murong Zhiyuan pondered for a moment.

A trace of thought flashed across his eyes, and then he nodded slowly and said, "This matter is indeed very important. I am not a talkative person, so don't worry, I won't tell anyone else about this."

After Murong Zhiyuan finished speaking, he saw Matthew with his arms folded, looking at him with interest.

He knew that Matthew was waiting for his next words. Murong Zhiyuan slightly adjusted his posture, his eyes became more determined, and then he slowly said: "Since you are so frank, I will not hide anything. In fact, I have come into contact with people from the Tushen Temple many times."

Murong Zhiyuan paused for a moment, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

He continued, "Everyone knows that if you want to completely eliminate the demons, you must destroy the demon headquarters. This demon headquarters is like a cancer, threatening the safety of the human world at all times. I have reached an agreement with the Tu Shen Temple. We plan to set up a large formation at the demon headquarters to completely destroy them in one fell swoop! This plan has already begun to be prepared, so I am so cautious."

Murong Zhiyuan looked at Matthew with a serious expression and spoke slowly.

What Murong Zhiyuan said did surprise Matthew. He widened his eyes slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

But on second thought, he felt it was quite reasonable.

The cultivators in the human world have been entangled with the demons for such a long time, it is naturally impossible for them to allow this situation to continue.

They definitely want to completely eliminate the demons to ensure the safety of the human world.

The demons must be thinking the same way.

The demons have always attempted to rule the human world and are full of hostility towards humans.

The conflict between the two sides has become irreconcilable, and only a decisive battle can determine the winner.

Matthew's ultimate goal is to kill Mo Tu, which coincides with the plan of Murong Zhiyuan and others.

If he could use the power of others to weaken the demons, Matthew would be happy to see it.

"The God-Slaying Temple is the number one force in the human world against the demons. Although I have never had contact with them, I often hear news about them. Cooperating with them is indeed the best choice." After Murong Zhiyuan finished speaking, Matthew slowly nodded and said.

Although he had no good feelings towards the Tu Shen Temple, he even had hostility towards it.

But he would not be foolish enough to tell Murong Zhiyuan about this.

What he wants to know most now is where the demon clan’s headquarters is.

Only by knowing the location can he make subsequent plans.

As for whether or not to act with Murong Zhiyuan at that time, it depends on what kind of strength Murong Zhiyuan can demonstrate.

With Matthew's current strength and the men around him, they are not at all weaker than those big forces, and they can accomplish many things on their own.
