The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

"By the way, when I came here just now, I was interrogated by people from the Demon-Slaying Hall. When did this Demon-Slaying Hall appear? Those people seemed to be quite afraid of Fellow Daoist Yunyan. What is going on?" Matthew did not immediately agree to the patriarch's request, but continued to ask.

"The Demon-Slaying Palace is currently the most powerful organization. It was formed by a large number of people who had nowhere to go after the cities were destroyed. The leaders are two Divine Transformation cultivators, one named Ling Yulong and the other named Lu Jiang."

"The Demon-Slaying Hall was founded by the two of them, and there are nearly a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators under them. Elder Yunyan is one of them. The entire Yunyan City is now completely under the management of the Demon-Slaying Hall. Currently, there are eight Nascent Soul cultivators in charge of Yunyan City."

The patriarch must be very clear about this kind of thing.

After Matthew asked, he also answered quickly.

"Is the Demon-Slaying Palace's sphere of influence very large?" Matthew continued to ask.

"It wasn't big at the beginning, but with the call of the two Divine Transformation cultivators, and more and more cities being destroyed by monsters, the power of the Demon Slayer Palace expanded rapidly in a short period of time."

"Especially some cities that had not been invaded by monsters before, but after joining the Demon Slayer Palace, they happened to be attacked by monsters. The Demon Slayer Palace immediately took action to help those cities successfully resist the monsters' attacks. Even Ling Yulong once personally took action to rescue a city from danger."

"As a result, the reputation of the Demon Slayer Hall spread quickly. Elder Yunyan was worried that Yunyan City would be in danger, so he took the initiative to join the Demon Slayer Hall."

The patriarch continued to explain.

This time, after the patriarch finished speaking, Matthew did not continue asking questions.

After a moment of silence, Matthew finally spoke: "I really haven't done much for the ghost tribe. Let's put it this way. I will deal with the traitors in the city first. If the monster invasion is serious and the defense can't hold out, I will take action."

After hearing what Matthew said, a look of joy appeared on the patriarch's face.

"No problem. All we need is Patriarch Nine's words. When do you plan to deal with those traitors?" the great patriarch said quickly.

"Now, let's solve it sooner and feel at ease sooner." Matthew said without thinking.

Afterwards, the patriarch called over several members of the ghost tribe and asked them to lead Matthew and the other two to find the traitors.

Matthew and his men did not start a massacre in the city as this would only cause unnecessary panic.

Matthew and the other two disguised themselves as strange monks, and after confirming their target, they quietly approached that person.

Leave a mark in the other person's body without anyone noticing.

Then he used the mark to control the man's mind and led him to a place belonging to the ghost clan.

The man was not killed immediately, but was silenced after he told what he knew.

Matthew and the other two acted separately. Most of these traitors were monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and Matthew and the other two had no power to resist at all.

The advantage of doing this is that no one will notice even if these people disappear.

Matthew and the other two kept moving around the city at a very fast speed.

In a short period of time, most of the people were caught.

The rest were people with higher cultivation levels, which was not difficult for Matthew. He just thought that these people might know more things.

That's why I left it to the end.

When the three of them were moving, they were surrounded by people from the ghost clan.

In addition to leading the way, they are also responsible for recording the intelligence collected.

The people around them are constantly changing so that they can confirm the news as soon as possible.

The ghosts here are very serious about their work under the guidance of the patriarch.

Even if they get the information, they still need to verify it before handing it over to the patriarch.

Soon, some high-level monks also began to disappear inexplicably in the city.

If there were fewer low-level monks, no one would pay attention.

But the sudden disappearance of a high-level monk would definitely arouse suspicion.

However, when someone wanted to investigate the matter, the City Lord's Mansion stepped forward to stop those people.

No one knew what the people who wanted to investigate this matter were thinking. Anyway, they were all controlled by the people in the City Lord's Mansion.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Not long after, Old Man Yunyan came back.

The first thing he did after he came back was to announce an important news.

The monsters are about to launch a massive attack on Yunyan City, and Old Man Yunyan gives everyone in the city a choice.

You can choose to leave or stay within one day.

He will not stop those who leave, but those who stay must participate in the battle against monsters.

In other words, as long as people are in the city, they are there.

Of course, if Yunyan City was destroyed, the people inside would no longer have to resist and could leave on their own.

In addition, Elder Yunyan also announced that rewards would be given according to merit in the battle against the monsters.

As long as you kill a certain number of monsters, you can exchange them for various things.

As soon as this news came out, the entire Yunyan City was in an uproar.

Some people had just arrived here and hadn't had a few days of peace when something like this happened.

Some people wailed, while others began to plan their retreat.

Some people are eager to try and do something big.
