The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2049 Arrangements and Statements

Matthew's words were like a thunderclap, breaking the originally solemn and silent atmosphere at the scene, causing the four people present to fall into silence in an instant.

Obviously, before this, these four people only focused on how to deal with the unrest within the Mangcang tribe, and never thought deeply about whether they would be drawn into this vortex of chaos.

They have always held an idea that it is a matter of course.

They believed that this was, after all, an internal dispute among the Mangcang tribe and had nothing to do with outsiders like them, so they should not be affected.

However, when Matthew finished speaking, it was like a breeze that blew away the fog in their hearts, making them realize as if they had just woken up from a dream that their previous self-righteous ideas might have huge loopholes and risks.

The possibility mentioned by Matthew is not groundless. Are those magical arrays and restrictions aimed only at the four elders?

Or is there a deeper, more widespread conspiracy?

If they continue to look upon this civil strife as bystanders, nonchalantly thinking that it has nothing to do with them and that they can just stay out of it, then they will most likely be swallowed up by the turbulent currents without realizing it, and become trapped in it and unable to extricate themselves.

Faced with such a serious situation, this matter absolutely cannot be taken lightly. We must make a wise decision after careful consideration and weighing of the pros and cons.

It is an indisputable fact that they had no doubt about what Matthew said.

After all, Matthew naturally knew much more about this matter than they did.

Given Matthew's character, he would never intentionally make things difficult for them on such an important matter.

However, it is obviously an unrealistic fantasy to expect Matthew to tell everything he knows without reservation.

After all, they were merely Matthew's subordinates.

Liu Yulong took a deep breath, then looked at Matthew firmly and said slowly, "I had already been prepared. Although the clan leader has the ability to manipulate the magic circle, I also have a way to restore the magic circle to its original state."

Hearing this, Matthew's originally tense expression relaxed a little, and he nodded slightly to show his approval.

At this moment, Sun Wang couldn't hold back his excitement and quickly interrupted, "Me too! Not only did I have a backup plan, but it was also specifically targeted at the person who controlled the magic circle. If the clan leader tries to harm us, I can immediately transfer all the magic circle restrictions to the person who controls the magic circle."

After saying this, Sun Wang's originally tense face instantly relaxed, and a look of smugness that was difficult to conceal slowly crept up his cheeks.

"Yes, it would be great to have a backup plan!"

Matthew nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with what Sun Wang said.

After listening to the detailed narration of Sun Wang and another person, Matthew's frown finally relaxed, a satisfied look appeared on his face, and he nodded gently, saying in a deep voice: "The clan leader has invited me to go to the pagoda in three days. In my opinion, this shrewd clan leader has probably been unable to suppress his inner restlessness and is ready to kill the four elders. By then, I will put all of you into the Azure Dragon Bracelet in advance to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to harm you when I leave. After all, the matter of the magic circle is extremely important, and I believe he doesn't want more people to know the secret."

A barely perceptible light flashed across his deep and wise eyes, and he continued in a slow voice, "You two should return first, but remember, do not utter a single word after you return, and pretend that you know nothing about this matter. In two days, I will use mystical techniques on you one by one to help you transform into psychic bodies."

After saying this, Matthew waved his sleeves and signaled the two to leave quickly.

Looking at the two people's backs walking away, Matthew thought to himself.

These two people still have more difficult tasks to complete. Even if they don't say it explicitly, with their intelligence and cleverness, they should know what to do.

Thinking of this, Matthew couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"You two should go out right now and investigate the situation outside. Yueru, you will be responsible for checking the movements of the clan leaders to see if they are preparing for any important matters. Xingyan, since you have secretly left a special mark on Elder Jin, you will go to the four elders to find out the truth this time."

After Liu Yulong and Sun Wang left, Matthew gave instructions to the two women in front of him with a serious face.

"As ordered!"

After hearing the order, the two girls responded in unison without hesitation.

Then, their figures disappeared into the secret room as fast as two flashes of lightning.

In the blink of an eye, Matthew was the only one left in the secret room where there were originally five people.

Matthew leaned back in his chair and stretched out his right hand to gently rub his brows, while muttering to himself, "Senior, this Dengtian Lingdao was created by you yourself! Faced with this chaotic situation, can you really not step in to stop it?"

Obviously, the purpose of Matthew's words was very clear, which was to tell the old man Zi Ding who had always been hidden and extremely mysterious.

However, deep down in his heart, Matthew had no idea whether the old man Zi Ding would respond to his words in the slightest.

In fact, ever since he noticed the deep thoughts and plans hidden in the patriarch's heart, Matthew has taken the initiative to seek humbly advice from the old man in purple cauldron more than once.

Unfortunately, every time I ask for advice with hope, the result is always the same.

It's like a stone thrown into the ocean, disappearing without a trace in an instant, and no echo is ever received.

It felt as if the old man Zi Ding didn't take Matthew seriously at all, and completely treated him as transparent air and simply chose to ignore him.

"Looking back to the past, the Mangcang tribe was just food raised by the boundary soul. Later, after I successfully devoured half of the boundary soul, I accidentally discovered that the members of this tribe had a generally longer lifespan. So, I had an idea and simply went with the flow and took the entire Mangcang tribe under my command. But too much time has passed, and now they have completely forgotten the strict rules I set up in the past! In this case, it seems that it is time to take back the Dengtian Spiritual Island."

Just as Matthew finished his words, the old man in Ziding, who had been silent, finally responded this time.

However, from the tone of his voice when he spoke, it sounded as if this matter was not a big deal to him at all, and it was as common as talking about the weather today.
