The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

"I didn't know anything about this. I was just following orders. Please let me go. I didn't do anything." Hongxia kept begging.

Zheng Wanshan secretly glanced at Matthew and asked, "Did the things in the ancestral hall get taken away by the Ghost Mother Caiyun?"

He knew that what Matthew was concerned about was the technique, not why this place was attacked by the Ghost Mother Caiyun.

"I don't know." Hongxia really didn't know anything and continued to shake her head.

After Hongxia finished speaking, Matthew waved his arm.

A violent purple whirlwind immediately appeared.

Wherever the purple whirlwind passed, everything in the ruins was sucked into the whirlwind.

After the debris outside was cleared away, Matthew walked inside.

After the debris was cleared away, only a wide foundation was left.

"The skills won't be placed openly in the ancestral hall, go and open the secret passage." Matthew said as he stood in front of the foundation.

His voice was calm, but there was no doubt in his tone.

When Zheng Wanshan heard this, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes and he could only walk over quickly.

He originally wanted to use Matthew's hand to deal with the Ghost Mother Caiyun and avenge the village.

However, after hearing what Matthew said, he realized that his little plan had already been discovered.

It's just that Matthew didn't say it explicitly.

Zheng Wanshan sighed inwardly and walked to the foundation.

He bent down, grabbed a piece of seemingly ordinary floor with both hands, pulled hard, and the mechanism under the floor moved.

With a dull sound, a dark tunnel entrance appeared in front of them.

Matthew nodded and signaled Zheng Wanshan to go ahead.

Just as Zheng Wanshan was about to step into the tunnel, a burst of ghost howling sounds were heard all around.

The sound was as terrifying as if it came from hell, and it was creepy.

Then, a gust of black wind blew up.

This black wind seemed to carry endless resentment, making people feel suffocated by fear.

When the black wind appeared, it immediately turned into the face of an old woman.

The face was full of wrinkles, with sunken eyes, revealing an evil aura.

When Zheng Wanshan's eyes fell on the old woman's face, he felt his heart suddenly shrink, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

To him, the face before him was like the legendary nightmare suddenly appearing.

His throat tightened and the voice was almost squeezed out in a weak trembling, a fear that came from the depths of his soul.

"Ghost Mother Caiyun!"

After saying these four words, Zheng Wanshan's body seemed to be out of control.

His legs felt as weak as if they were filled with lead and could no longer support the weight of his body. He sat down on the cold ground.

Zheng Wanshan's luck was not very good. Even though Matthew had given him such a good elixir before, he still failed to break through.

However, the aura emitted by the Ghost Mother Caiyun was that of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul, the same as Matthew's.

After the ghost mother Caiyun appeared, she didn't even look at Zheng Wanshan, but stared at Matthew with her eyes.

The real threat to it here is Matthew.

"Nascent Soul Great Perfection..."

The ghost mother Caiyun murmured softly.

Her voice was low and had a strange sound.

"Fellow Daoist, what are you doing here?" asked the Ghost Mother Caiyun softly.

The tone was calm but with a hint of inquiry.

Her cultivation level is the same as Matthew's. She doesn't want to take action unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Take the latter part of the Lotus Sword Technique. If you have it, please give it to me."

Facing the question from the Ghost Mother of Caiyun, Matthew remained calm and his voice was as calm as usual.

"Fellow Daoist, you are late. I have already given the sword technique to someone else." The Ghost Mother Caiyun shook her head and said.

As soon as these words came out, Matthew chuckled.

With a flick of his sleeves, nine flying swords flew out one after another.

Pointing his finger at the Ghost Mother Caiyun, nine Biyue Qiuguang swords rushed towards the Ghost Mother Caiyun in mid-air with bursts of sword sounds.

The sword light flashed, like nine meteors streaking through the night sky, heading straight for the Ghost Mother Caiyun.

Nine flying swords intertwined in the air to form a sword net, instantly trapping the Ghost Mother Caiyun.

The sword net was like a dragnet that bound the Ghost Mother Caiyun tightly, making her unable to move.

Facing Matthew's attack, the ghost mother Caiyun remained expressionless, black air rolled, and the face she transformed into disappeared into the black air.

Nine flying swords continued to chop at the black air.

Every sword carries endless sword intent and sword energy.

However, the black gas was extremely tough and no matter how the nine flying swords chopped it, there was no sign of being destroyed.

But at this moment, an old woman with a hunched back appeared behind Matthew without anyone noticing.

The old woman sneered and stretched out a hand like a chicken claw, quickly grabbing Matthew's back.

Matthew felt the crisis behind him, but he did not panic.

The magic power in his body surged wildly, and instantly formed a purple shield behind him.

The old woman's chicken claw-like palm grabbed the golden shield, making a sharp metal collision sound.

Her expression changed, obviously she didn't expect Matthew to react so quickly.

Matthew took the opportunity to turn around, with a spell already prepared in his hands.

The nine flying swords in the sky instantly gathered into a beam of sword light and pierced straight towards the old woman.

Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly stepped back and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
