The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2496 Continue the arrangement

The possibility of blood sacrifice, like a haze, quietly shrouded everyone's mind, causing the hearts of everyone present to sink to the bottom involuntarily.

Blood sacrifice, this evil ritual, once it really happens, its consequences will be far more serious than the invasion of demons.

The human world will fall into an unprecedented crisis, all lives will be lost, and there will be no recovery.

But all of this is just speculation without any real evidence.

Everyone knew that if they could not find conclusive evidence, they would have to live in endless speculation, and the root of all this pointed to the mysterious magic circle of the God-Slaying Temple.

"Xingyan, have the ghosts told you that there have been any unusual activities in the God-Slaughtering Temple during this period? For example, the movement of people?" Matthew was silent for a long time, with a thousand thoughts in his mind, and finally asked slowly.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed worry and thought.

Upon hearing this, Xing Yan tilted her head slightly and recalled carefully.

She tried hard to search for all the information about the God-Slaying Temple in her mind, and carefully recalled every detail reported by the ghost people.

However, after a long while, she shook her head and said, "I have never asked about this before, and the ghost tribe has never reported such things to me."

There was a flash of regret in her eyes, and she blamed herself for not thinking it through carefully enough.

If we had thought of this earlier, perhaps we would have had more clues.

"These are indeed small matters, and we wouldn't pay attention to them on a normal day. It's normal that you didn't ask. I only asked because I suddenly thought of it." Matthew nodded gently, with a hint of gentleness in his eyes.

He understood Xing Yan's negligence. After all, their previous attention was mainly focused on the affairs of the demon clan, and they did not pay much attention to details such as the flow of personnel within the Slaughtering God Temple.

"Master, what should we do next? I think we must go to the headquarters of the Temple of Slaughtering Gods and confirm whether the magic circle is a blood sacrifice magic circle." After Matthew finished speaking, Yueru looked at Matthew solemnly and said with a firm look in her eyes.

Matthew frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "You take Yulong, Lanyue, and Yueling over there first. We'll wait here for Shi Potian and Baichen to come back."

"Remember, the Blood God and the bloody monster are most likely hiding there, so you must be extra careful." Matthew added.

His tone was filled with worry, knowing full well that this trip to the Slaughter God Temple headquarters was extremely dangerous.

"Yes, master. We will be careful." After hearing Matthew's order, the few people immediately agreed respectfully.

As a master of formations, Liu Yulong is well aware that he shoulders the key mission of recognizing formations.

There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and he knew in his heart that without him, it would be difficult for everyone to recognize the true appearance of the giant magic circle.

Lan Yue has a keen eye and exceptional vision, and can see things that are difficult for others to perceive.

Her abilities are crucial in this operation. If she can find some hidden clues, she may be able to uncover the secret of the magic circle.

Yueru and Yueling are mainly responsible for protecting the safety of Liu Yulong and Lan Yue.

After giving a few more instructions, Yueru and the others took the lead in leaving the flying boat.

Their figures gradually disappeared into the distant horizon, leaving behind only a silent sky and the flying boat carrying everyone's worries.

The flying boat floated quietly in the vast sky. Matthew stood quietly on the deck, looking in the direction where Yueru and others left, his eyes full of worry and concern.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, the sea breeze blew his clothes, but it could not blow away his thoughts.

In his heart, he silently prayed that Yueru and others would be able to return safely.

Matthew closed his eyes slightly and began to think about the next plan in his mind.

He is well aware that the current situation is complicated and every decision may affect the safety of everyone.

The speculation about the blood sacrifice was like a fog, shrouding everyone's mind, and the giant magic circle at the headquarters of the Temple of Slaughter was even more mysterious.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month has passed quietly.

During this half month, Matthew stayed in the cabin and did not go out easily.

He stayed indoors all day, studying the various intelligence he had collected before, trying to find useful clues.

Or they might be playing out various possible situations in their minds and formulating countermeasures.

The flying boat was still sailing steadily on the predetermined route. Everything around him seemed calm, but Matthew knew in his heart that a greater crisis was often hidden beneath the calm.

In the past half month, the Guiyi Order has lit up several times. Every time it flashed, it meant that someone was contacting Matthew.

Matthew knew in his heart that this must be Murong Zhiyuan.

Matthew just took a look and chose to ignore it.

The connection with Murong Zhiyuan may bring him more troubles and uncertainties.

On this day, Mr. Qinglian also contacted Matthew once through the blue lotus.

The voice of Ms. Qinglian came through the Qinglian. She told Matthew that she had canceled her plan to go to Tongtian Peak with Murong Zhiyuan.

Qinglian Layman sighed and said slowly: "I canceled the plan because, first, you once told me that the plan might be deliberately targeting me. I have always trusted your judgment. Since you said so, I will naturally re-examine this plan. Second, Murong Zhiyuan did not tell the truth. As far as I know, there are not only a dozen people who participated in this plan with Murong Zhiyuan as he said, but more than thirty people. Among them, many are elders of the Tushen Temple."

When he said this, there was a strong sense of dissatisfaction and vigilance in Qinglian Jushi's tone.

Matthew frowned slightly, thinking in his mind.

The elders of the Tushen Temple are involved in this, there must be some hidden story.

He asked, "So in your opinion, what is the purpose of their plan?"

Qinglian Lay Buddhist shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly either. They went to such great lengths to gather so many people, many of whom are elders of the Tushen Temple. This is definitely not as simple as it seems. I am worried that something bad will happen to us, so I decided to reject Murong Zhiyuan's invitation."

Matthew nodded in understanding.

Mr. Qinglian added, "As for Zhang Huaming, I have temporarily given up the idea of ​​killing him. Now, the development of things has far exceeded my expectations. The forces of all parties are intricate and complex, and one move can affect the whole body. In this unclear situation, if I act rashly, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

Matthew nodded in agreement.

He knew that Mr. Qinglian had always been cautious and must have made such a decision after careful consideration.

Afterwards, Matthew thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Qinglian, please help investigate whether a large number of unfamiliar high-level cultivators have appeared recently. The situation is complicated now. If unfamiliar high-level cultivators suddenly appear, they may contain clues related to the current situation."

Mr. Qinglian replied, "Okay, I still have some informants. I'll tell them to keep an eye on this matter. Once there's any news, I'll notify you immediately."

After finishing the call with Mr. Qinglian, Matthew continued to think in the cabin.
