The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

With the token given by Elder Yunyan, Matthew and the other two entered Yunyan City unimpeded.

After entering the city, the first thing they did was to contact the chief patriarch.

After a while, they were in an ordinary little house.

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

On a chair on the left sat a person, the chief patriarch.

"The ninth patriarch returned to Yunyan City this time, probably to inquire about the sudden appearance of the monster." The chief patriarch said softly.

Matthew nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Patriarch. We need to understand the reasons for the appearance of monsters and how to deal with the next situation."

Hearing this, the Patriarch sighed and said, "The monsters have actually appeared a long time ago, but we have never known about it. At the beginning, the monsters were only active in the coastal area."

"Even if the monks close to the sea knew that monsters had appeared, they did not take it seriously. Everyone thought that it was none of their business. How could anyone really have justice in their hearts and run to solve the monsters. Many people also stayed away from the sea for their own safety, thinking that this would be fine."

"It is precisely because of this that the monsters had enough time to develop and survive. It is said that there were very few monsters at the beginning. As long as a few monks with slightly higher cultivation went there, they could completely solve it. But everyone was in danger, resulting in the monsters having grown so big that they could 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 have encountered many monsters along the way. Most of them are not strong. Logically, those cities have high-level monks stationed, so they should be able to resist. Why did I see that people in some cities were slaughtered by monsters?" Matthew frowned slightly and asked.

He has not figured out what happened since he flew all the way here.

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

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

The patriarch shook his head helplessly.

Although he is not a human, he also knows that if the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs left intact.

If the human race is completely wiped out by monsters, then there is no need for them, 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, Yunyan City is so big that there should be no traitors." Matthew said after his eyes flickered a few times.

"Yes, and there are quite a few. I have already greeted Elder Yunyan and helped to find some lurking traitors. Elder Yunyan is out on business, and when he comes back, he can take action to solve those traitors in advance." The patriarch nodded and said.

As the patriarch, he naturally couldn't report everything to Matthew.

That would delay things too much.

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

In addition, Matthew had also left a message to Elder Yunyan a long time ago, saying that he would leave some hidden players in the city.

You can ask them to secretly help observe the situation in the city. If you find anything important, you will notify Elder Yunyan as soon as possible.

At that time, Matthew did not mention the ghost clan, and Elder Yunyan did not ask much.

Now it seems that the ghost clan and Elder Yunyan have begun to 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. The two with the highest cultivation are both in the early stage of Yuanying. These two people are hiding 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 demon army is about to attack Yunyan City. Since we have set up a base in Yunyan City, let's help them once." Matthew nodded and said.

After finishing speaking, Matthew seemed to remember something and said again: "Have monsters appeared in the Northern Territory Xiuxian Realm?"

"Yes, there are quite a few of them. They just experienced a war and now 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 a backup base somewhere else to prevent the headquarters from being breached by monsters so that they can evacuate in time." The first clan leader rubbed his eyebrows 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 Xiuxian Realm, he could send all the ghost clan members back, so that even if the monsters breached Yunyan City, the ghost clan would not suffer much loss.

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