The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2060 Abnormal Situation

Matthew only thought about it for a moment and quickly came to his senses.

He already knew that the reason why he subconsciously developed such a sense of dependence in his heart was entirely because the old man Zi Ding was here at the moment.

Deep in Matthew's heart, he had the utmost trust in this old man in Ziding.

This is something that no one can replace.

Especially at this critical moment, the rare appearance of the old man Zi Ding made Matthew feel that he had a solid support.

Moreover, seeing that Elder Jin had become so embarrassed, Matthew naturally thought that Elder Jin would tell the truth at this moment.

However, what Matthew never expected was that all the words Elder Jin spoke endlessly were nothing but empty talk that was completely worthless.

In an instant, an irrepressible anger surged in Matthew's heart, but he knew clearly that the real object of his anger was not Elder Jin himself, but his own overly naive ideas.

At the same time, Matthew's brain started working rapidly, quickly breaking down every sentence and every word that Elder Jin had just said, and conducting meticulous sorting and analysis deep in his mind.

It didn't take long for Matthew to come to a conclusion.

Most of what Elder Jin said was just a bunch of worthless nonsense!

At this time, Matthew was trying hard to adjust his emotions, trying to calm the waves in his heart.

However, on the other side, Elder Jin's face had become extremely gloomy, as if water could drip out of it.

He widened his eyes and looked at Matthew in disbelief. He couldn't understand why he had worked so hard to say such a long speech, but the other party mercilessly judged it to be all nonsense!

But in fact, this is just a habit he developed when communicating with people in daily life.

At this moment, the situation was so urgent that Elder Jin could not afford to hesitate or think any further.

His face was solemn, he took a deep breath, and was about to open his mouth to explain the follow-up matters, but unexpectedly, Matthew interrupted him mercilessly before he could finish his words.

Matthew's voice was like a biting cold wind, and he asked in an aggressive voice, "Let's not talk about anything else. Tell me where the other three elders are now."

After saying that, Matthew's pair of extremely sharp eyes, like an eagle's, stared at Elder Jin. His gaze was so sharp that it seemed to be able to penetrate the depths of Elder Jin's soul.

At this moment, the whole scene became tense because of Matthew's questioning, and the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.

Faced with such fierce questioning and pressure, Elder Jin was shocked, but soon calmed down. After a moment of hesitation, he responded truthfully: "Regarding the three of them... in the original plan, they were only responsible for guarding your men, and there were no other particularly important tasks assigned to them."

As Elder Jin was speaking, he was thinking to himself, he clearly had not mentioned anything about the other three elders, so why did Matthew take the initiative to inquire about their whereabouts?

The reason why Elder Jin had not mentioned a word about the whereabouts of the other three elders was actually because these three elders had not really participated in the meticulous plan against Matthew.

However, now that things have come to this, he can only tell the truth to avoid causing more unnecessary trouble.

"The people guarding me... So, do they already start to take action?"

Matthew's deep eyes narrowed slightly, staring sharply ahead, and he slowly uttered these words.

His voice was low and contained a hint of tension and doubt.

Hearing Matthew's question, Elder Jin couldn't help but be shocked, but he still kept a calm expression on his face.

After a brief pause, he responded, "According to the plan, they have not yet started the action. They will only start the action after I send a specific signal. You should know that we know every inch of land and every corner of Dengtianling Island. Even where you are currently living, there are many forbidden organs. Therefore, we can easily trap your men anytime and anywhere, and there is no need to rush to monitor and follow them too early."

Although he was quite surprised and puzzled as to why Matthew kept asking the three elders questions, at this moment, Elder Jin had no choice but to answer honestly.

However, at this moment, Matthew immediately raised another question: "Before I stepped into this pagoda, my subordinates informed me that the three elders disappeared a little later than you. In addition, there is one more thing I don't know if you know, my subordinate Sun Wang has already abandoned me and joined the clan leader. Have you heard about this incident?"

After Matthew finished speaking, he stared at Elder Jin in front of him, who had a confused look on his face, as if he knew nothing about the whole thing, and couldn't help feeling a little amused.

Elder Jin stared at Matthew with his eyes wide open, looking at him with confusion. He looked like an innocent person who was kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on.

"They disappeared...your people actually joined the clan leader...why has no one ever mentioned this to me?"

Elder Jin still had a bewildered look on his face. He stared at Matthew and muttered to himself.

At this moment, the old man Zi Ding beside him also whispered to Matthew: "This guy is obviously being used as a tool by others."

Hearing this, Matthew was slightly startled at first, and then nodded in agreement.

As soon as the old man Zi Ding finished speaking, he swung his arm violently, and his movements were as natural and smooth as flowing water.

In an instant, a mirror emitting a mysterious purple light suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

This mirror has a simple shape, and the edges are engraved with complex and exquisite runes. You can tell at first glance that it is not an ordinary item.

When Matthew and Elder Jin looked at the purple mirror at the same time, they saw a dazzling purple light suddenly flash on the mirror.

The light flashed across the night sky like lightning, instantly attracting the attention of both people.

Then, a clear picture began to emerge on the originally mirror-smooth surface.

But when Matthew and Elder Jin saw the image in the mirror, their expressions suddenly changed.

Especially Matthew, his breathing became rapid at this moment.

Elder Jin was no less terrible. Although his body was still entangled by the purple silk threads, his body was shaking violently.

This time it wasn't out of fear, but anger.
