The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

After the six patriarchs followed Matthew into the cave, they were taken to a secret room.

The two sat down, and Matthew looked at the Sixth Patriarch and said, "I don't like beating around the bush. The Sixth Patriarch can just state his intentions."

"That's great. I don't have to say those nonsense that I don't want to say in the first place." The Sixth Patriarch nodded.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Matthew and continued, "The clan leaders are discussing for a while now and are planning to give you a temporary clan leader position. They are also planning to take action against you afterwards."

Hearing the words of the Sixth Patriarch, Matthew showed surprise on his face.

He was not surprised by what the six clan leaders said. So many days had passed and those clan leaders had not made any moves. He must have guessed something.

What puzzled him was that the Sixth Patriarch, as the patriarch of the Ghost Clan, would actually tell such a secret matter to an outsider like him.

This is what surprised and puzzled Matthew.

"I can roughly guess what's going on with them, but why would the Sixth Patriarch tell me about this? This doesn't make sense." Matthew touched his chin and said to the Sixth Patriarch.

"It's normal to be unreasonable, but what if I say I want to monopolize the ancestral cave?"

When the Sixth Patriarch spoke, a hint of greed subconsciously appeared in his eyes.

But Matthew just shook his head.

He leaned back slightly and said, "Your acting skills aren't that good, that's not the reason."

After Matthew said this, the six patriarchs laughed.

Her appearance is not outstanding, she can only be considered ordinary in appearance, but this smile adds a different charm to her.

"I really can't hide it from you, fellow Daoist. I don't really have much interest in the Ancestral Cave. I just think that if things continue to develop like this, the ghost clan will never be able to make a breakthrough. Besides, I didn't come to you on my own initiative, but was asked to do so by someone else." The Sixth Clan Chief said with a smile.

"I was entrusted by someone..."

Matthew whispered these four words.

He immediately smiled and said, "It was the ghost baby who asked you to come."

"Yes, it is not convenient for her to show up now, so let me tell you about this so that you can prepare in advance. The patriarch of the ghost clan has never let outsiders do it. If you don't have an evil beast, this matter would be easy. You may not know that the evil beast has a natural restraining power on the people of the ghost clan. You should have seen this." The sixth patriarch nodded and said.

"What they fear is the evil beast, not me. I am very clear about this, but I didn't expect that they have already started to target the evil beast." Matthew continued, touching his chin.

"The existence of this evil beast can threaten everyone in our tribe. Even I don't want it to exist in the world."

Although the Sixth Clan Leader is a woman, her way of speaking is extremely direct.

"Besides asking you to tell me these, does the ghost baby have anything else to tell me?" Matthew asked after nodding.

"I have discussed with her that we want to change the appearance of the ghost tribe, and the eight clan leaders have agreed with our idea. However, if we want to completely change the ghost tribe, we need fellow Taoists to take action."

"The current situation is that the six clan leaders have reached a consensus and want to deal with you. So, you are in the open, and we are in the dark. When the time comes, we will help you deal with the six clan leaders together."

The Sixth Patriarch's eyes flickered as he spoke softly.

"When does the patriarch plan to take action against me?" Matthew asked.

"They are still planning, and it will probably take at least one or two years. During this period of time, they should first find a way to appease you. Then they will use various methods to tempt you to open the ancestral cave." The sixth patriarch said with a serious expression.

"Okay, then I'll be more careful next time." Matthew nodded.

The two talked in the secret room for several hours before the Sixth Patriarch left.

Matthew also personally sent them out of the cave and watched the six clan leaders leave.

After the Sixth Patriarch's figure completely disappeared, Yueru also appeared beside him.

"Master, I don't think what this person said is credible." Yueru spoke immediately after appearing.

"I also find it hard to believe. Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. The fact that she chose to cooperate with outsiders like us is already abnormal. However, she should also know that her intentions are a bit too obvious. Why does she still do this?" Matthew frowned slightly and said softly.

"Or I should go and investigate the location of the ghost baby. As long as we find the ghost baby, we can figure out the truth of this matter." Yueru said after thinking for a while.

During this period, Matthew often asked Xingyan and Yueru to sneak out to look for the ghost baby.

But there has been no gain.

Only a few clan leaders know where the ghost baby is hiding.

Matthew had just asked the six clan leaders about this matter, but they did not give any response.

This made Matthew even more suspicious of the authenticity of the matter.

However, he now felt a little confused and didn't know whether he should believe the words of the Sixth Patriarch. Even if he did, how much he should believe them.

It is impossible for the other party to tell him everything exactly as it happened, so there must be some false information in it.
