The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

With the token given by Old Man Yunyan, Matthew and the other two were able to enter Yunyan City unimpeded.

After entering the city, the first thing to do is to contact the patriarch.

A moment later, in an ordinary little house.

Matthew sat on the chair, with Xingyan and Yueru standing on either side of him.

Sitting on a chair on the left was a man, the patriarch.

"The ninth clan leader returned to Yunyan City this time, probably to inquire about the sudden appearance of monsters." The great clan leader said softly.

Matthew nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Great Patriarch. We need to understand the reason why the monsters appeared and how to deal with the situation that follows."

Upon hearing this, the chief sighed and said, "The monsters have actually appeared a long time ago, but we just didn't know about it. At the beginning, the monsters were only active in the coastal area."

"Even though the monks who were close to the beach knew that a monster had appeared, they didn't take it seriously. Everyone thought it was none of their business. No one would really have the sense of justice to go and kill the monster. Many people also stayed away from the beach for their own safety, thinking that this would be fine."

"It is precisely because of this that the monsters have enough time to develop and survive. It is said that there were very few monsters in the beginning. As long as a few monks with higher cultivation went there, they could have been completely eliminated. But everyone was in danger, so the monsters have grown so big that they can attack any city at will."

Since Matthew asked about the monsters as soon as he came back, the patriarch naturally knew what he should say at this time.

"I've encountered quite a few monsters along the way. Most of them are not very strong. Logically, those cities have high-level monks stationed in them, so they should be able to resist. Why do I see that people in some cities have been slaughtered by monsters?" Matthew asked with a slightly frown.

He has flown all the way here and still hasn't figured out what's going on.

"That's because some monks have already secretly joined the demons. Those you saw were only low-level demons who only knew how to act on instinct. However, there are still many high-level demons who can not only transform into human forms but also bewitch people. Many high-level monks were bewitchd and eventually chose to betray the human race."

"That is, in addition to the traitors, this is why many cities made all preparations and began to resist, causing chaos inside, allowing monsters to rush in easily."

The patriarch shook his head helplessly.

Although he is not a human, he knows that when the nest is overturned, no eggs can remain intact.

If all humans were killed by monsters, then there would be no need for the ghost race to exist.

After all, dealing with monsters is no different from seeking death.

Therefore, the patriarch is also very worried about the current situation.

After listening to the patriarch's words, Matthew finally understood the reason.

"Since traitors have appeared in other cities, it is impossible that there are no traitors in Yunyan City, which is so big." Matthew said after his eyes flickered a few times.

"Yes, and there are quite a lot of them. I have already said hello to Elder Yunyan, and he has helped to find some hidden traitors. Elder Yunyan is out on business, and when he comes back we can take action to get rid of those traitors in advance." The patriarch nodded.

As the patriarch, it was impossible for him to report everything to Matthew.

That would delay things too much.

Moreover, when Matthew left Yunyan City, he had already told the patriarch that all matters here would be decided by the patriarch.

In addition, Matthew had already left a message to Old Man Yunyan, saying that he would leave some secret agents in the city.

You can ask him to help secretly observe the situation in the city, and if anything major is discovered, he will notify Elder Yunyan immediately.

At that time, Matthew did not mention the ghost clan explicitly, and Elder Yunyan did not ask any further questions.

Now it seems that the ghost clan and Old Man Yunyan have begun to make contact.

Moreover, the two sides seem to have begun to cooperate.

"How many traitors have been found in Yunyan City?" Matthew asked.

"There are currently 831 known people. The two with the highest cultivation levels are both in the early Nascent Soul stage. These two people hid very deeply, and their abnormalities were only discovered recently." The patriarch said quickly.

"Okay, when I came here just now, I met Fellow Daoist Yunyan. He said that the army of monsters is about to attack Yunyan City. Since we have set up a stronghold in Yunyan City, let's help them this time." Matthew nodded and said.

After he finished speaking, Matthew seemed to remember something and asked again, "Did a monster appear in the Northern Territory's Immortal Cultivation World?"

"Yes, there are quite a few of them. They just experienced a great war over there, and now they have to resist the invasion of monsters. The situation is even worse than here. The second and fourth clan leaders have sent messages several times. They want to establish backup bases somewhere else so that they can evacuate in time if the headquarters is breached by monsters." The big clan leader rubbed his brows and said softly.

The second and fourth clan leaders he mentioned were naturally the ghost baby and the old pervert.

Matthew originally thought that if there were no monsters in the Northern Territory's immortal cultivation world, he could send all the ghost clan members back. In this way, even if the monsters broke through Yunyan City, the ghost clan would not suffer much loss.

But things were much more serious than he had expected, and he was forced to re-examine the issue of the monster invasion.
