The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 1656: The Underground Man

Ma Tianrui came to the stone gate and reached out to peel off the yellow talisman on it.

Then the stone door opened immediately.

This surprised Matthew a little.

He thought that opening this stone door required some special method.

I didn't expect it to be so easy to open.

After the stone door opened, Ma Tianrui immediately walked in.

Behind the stone gate is a not very big cave.

The cave was a bit damp and the ground was wet.

In order to prevent himself from making any noise by touching the water stains on the ground, Matthew floated up and followed lightly behind Ma Tianrui.

Inside the cave there is a raised stone platform about half a foot high.

There was another person sitting on this stone platform.

The man had disheveled hair and his features could not be seen clearly. He was hunched over and exuded a foul odor all over his body.

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

When Ma Tianrui walked up to the man with untied hair, that man also spoke.

His voice was a little hoarse, but full of energy.

"I have received the latest intelligence from the Demon-Destroying Palace. Let me lie low for a while and wait for orders. There is no need for me to pass on any other information." Ma Tianrui said respectfully while standing in front of the stone platform.

"Lying dormant...have you been exposed?" asked the man with long hair.

"Probably not, everything is normal. The Destroying Palace trusts me very much, and I have arranged for Ying Ling to leave this area. From the looks of her, she doesn't have any doubts about me." Ma Tianrui shook his head and said.

"Since you have not been exposed, it is possible that something happened at the Black Evil Cult headquarters. Such a thing happened at such a critical moment. This matter is of no trivial matter. I need you to find out what is going on." The man with untied hair said after hesitating for a moment.

"But, my identity does not allow me to move around in other areas. That would cause unnecessary trouble and would be detrimental to my future actions." Ma Tianrui said hesitantly.

Although Ma Tianrui was quite respectful to the person in front of him, he was still very decisive when he said this.

He was just short of saying no to the other person outright.

"I know this matter is very difficult and hard for you. How about this? I will give you three antidotes to suppress the Black Evil Pill at once, which can be regarded as the reward for this mission." The man with untied hair said after thinking for a while.

When Ma Tianrui heard this, the hesitation on his face disappeared instantly.

He hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Liu."

Seeing that Ma Tianrui agreed to this matter, the man with untied hair raised his arm and a porcelain bottle flew towards Ma Tianrui.

After Ma Tianrui grabbed the porcelain bottle, he poured out the three pills inside, checked them, and left immediately.

But this time, Matthew did not leave with Ma Tianrui.

Instead, he stayed inside the cave.

"Who is here? Show yourself quickly!" After Ma Tianrui left, the man with untied hair suddenly snorted coldly.

After saying this, an aura unique to a Nascent Soul cultivator instantly burst out from his body, enveloping the entire cave.

At this moment, a green light suddenly appeared above an open space.

Then, after the green light dissipated, a person appeared, it was Duan Yan.

"Duan Yan! Didn't you escape a long time ago? Why are you back again?"

When the man with untied hair saw Duan Yan suddenly appear, he quickly pushed away the messy hair on his face, revealing a somewhat hideous face.

This person looked at Duan Yan with disbelief in his eyes.

"The retreat routes are blocked. After running around, we finally decided to hide back in the headquarters. As the old saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place." Duan Yan said with a smile as he looked at the person opposite him.

"You spent such a huge price to get the method to enter the treasure house from me. Now you run back to the headquarters. It's really ridiculous." The man with long hair shook his head and said.

The two of them seemed very familiar.

Moreover, the three pills that the man with untied hair gave to Ma Tianrui just now were exactly the same pills that Duan Yan had developed himself.

That must be the case that Duan Yan exchanged the elixir with the man with untied hair in order to enter the treasure house.

"Duan Yan, since you are back and here again, do you have anything else to ask of me?" Seeing that Duan Yan did not reply, the man with untied hair continued.

"Liu Weng is really a master of foresight. I couldn't hide this from you. I came here to ask for your help."

Duan Yan could always see the situation outside and knew very well what Matthew was doing. Now he needed to pretend that he was here specifically to look for the person with long hair.

"Where do you want to go this time?" Liu Weng asked with a smile.

"I plan to go to the area where Di Zun is." Duan Yan said with a turn of his eyes.

"The area of ​​Di Zun...that's not impossible, but it's a bit troublesome. If you can offer sufficient conditions, I can arrange it." Liu Weng said, stroking his messy hair.

He got those pills from Duan Yan, which helped him a lot.

He also used those antidotes to control a new group of people.

Now that Duan Yan has appeared, he will naturally continue to get better benefits from Duan Yan.
