The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Less than two hours after the news was released, some people started leaving Yunyan City.

Some shops were even closed directly.

The shopkeeper inside and his employees also followed the crowd and left Yunyan City.

In just about an hour, 20% of the people had left the place.

All those who left were monks, and no mortal left.

Because Old Man Yunyan did not say that mortals can leave.

Moreover, even if they left here, they had nowhere to go.

It is normal for some people to leave, and Yunyan City will not stop them at all.

Those who choose to stay can report to the City Lord's Mansion.

Only after registering your name and killing monsters can you redeem rewards.

Although there were 20% fewer people in a short period of time, Yunyan City was still very lively.

The monks were running around, everyone preparing for their future.

After all, Elder Yunyan only gave them one day to consider.

When the time comes, the city gates will be closed and no one can get out.

After dealing with the traitors, Matthew found the patriarch again.

He told the patriarch the location of the Baixian Mountains and what was happening there, and asked the patriarch to arrange for some clan members to go to the Baixian Mountains.

Matthew's move was obviously a preparation for the future.

The patriarch naturally knew about this, so he immediately made arrangements.

Afterwards, Matthew came to the city lord's mansion.

Old Man Yunyan was already waiting for him there.

After exchanging a few polite words, the two sat down separately.

"I just came back and got the news that those traitors have all been dealt with by fellow Taoist. Fellow Taoist, you really helped me a lot." Old Man Yunyan said with a smile.

"You are too polite, fellow Daoist. You helped me a lot when we were in Yunyan City before. This little thing is nothing." Matthew replied politely.

"However, the more than 800 people are just those on the surface. We don't know how many more there are in secret," Matthew continued.

"Yes, but it's good enough to get rid of more than 800 traitors first. It's better than doing nothing." Old Man Yunyan was quite open-minded and nodded slightly.

Seeing that Matthew did not continue to speak, Elder Yunyan spoke again: "Do you have something important to do when you come back this time? There is still some time, and I can help you."

Hearing this, Matthew shook his head slightly and said, "I was just passing by here. I was originally planning to leave. Now I'm asked by someone to stay here temporarily." Matthew shook his head and said.

It is better to make things clear first, so that the other party will not misunderstand that you are here to help Yunyan City.

Elder Yunyan seemed to have guessed what Matthew would say, and did not react much.

"Fellow Daoist, you should have known about the Demon-Exterminating Hall. I am one of the elders in the Demon-Exterminating Hall. With your cultivation level, you can definitely join the Demon-Exterminating Hall. The sudden appearance of monsters is a disaster, but also an opportunity."

"The original situation has been completely disrupted, and the whole world is in chaos. Now follow the Demon Slayer Palace to exterminate the monsters, and wait until things calm down. The Demon Slayer Palace will also reward people based on their merits. With your ability, you can definitely be assigned a piece of land by then."

"I can be your recommender. I can also recommend other Taoists from Tiandan Pavilion."

Elder Yunyan actually began to win over Matthew without showing any symptoms.

And he also set his sights on the people around Matthew.

It’s not his fault. After all, Matthew has several Nascent Soul cultivators around him.

Including Matthew, this is an extremely powerful force.

Even if Matthew wanted to occupy a piece of land to develop Tiandan Pavilion, it would be an easy thing to do.

Now the whole world is in chaos because of the appearance of monsters.

There is nothing strange about what Elder Yunyan said.

"If I wanted a piece of land, I could have gotten it long ago. I did this because I don't want it, and I'm not interested in it. The others also have the same idea as me. We are not interested in joining the Demon Slayer Palace. Thank you for your kindness, fellow Taoist."

Matthew would not argue with Old Man Yunyan and Mo Ji about such matters, as this would only make the other party think that he was hesitating, so he simply refused.

Seeing that Matthew rejected his proposal so decisively, although Elder Yunyan was a little disappointed, he did not show much emotion.

"There is no rush for this matter. You can take your time to think about it. The most important thing right now is to get rid of the incoming army of monsters. There is something strange about the army of monsters this time. It seems that someone is commanding them. I was just watching from a distance at the time and didn't see the commander."

Since the attempt to win over the monster had temporarily failed, Elder Yunyan began to tell Matthew about the monster.

"When the monsters invade, I will stay in the city. We will not take action unless we can no longer resist. However, I can help you find those hidden traitors when the monsters attack the city. No matter what, I am also a member of the human race, and naturally I don't want to see my people die at the hands of betrayal."

Matthew was not interested in the monster army, so he expressed his attitude directly.

Hearing Matthew's words, Old Man Yunyan's eyes suddenly lit up.

What he is most worried about now is those hidden traitors, who will definitely take action when the monsters attack the city.

By then he would definitely be too busy to take care of all places.

If he had help from Matthew and others around him, his stress would be reduced a lot.

Therefore, Old Man Yunyan nodded repeatedly and agreed.

At least Matthew was willing to help.
