The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2491 Overthrow

Matthew's mind was racing, and possibilities kept emerging like a tide.

His brows were furrowed and his eyes were deep, as if he wanted to penetrate these endless thoughts.

If it is true as Shi Potian and Bai Chen said, that the thing that can make monsters or demons become extremely crazy has existed for a long time, then things are probably far more complicated than he imagined.

There is too little information at hand now. Matthew repeatedly sorted out the known situation, but he still couldn't sort out many useful clues.

After thinking for a while, Matthew frowned and made quick hand gestures.

As the seal changed, a faint light lit up from his fingertips, and then he pressed his hands on his abdomen.

He gently circled his fingers around his abdomen, and saw a black light glowing on his abdomen.

The light was like fireflies at first. After flickering a few times, the light gradually gathered and a black figure slowly appeared in front of him.

This figure was none other than Wu Kun who was temporarily staying in his body.

After Wu Kun helped Wu Yanshuang solve the problem, he was sealed up by Matthew.

At this moment, Matthew wanted to see if he could get some information out of Wu Kun.

After Wu Kun appeared, he frowned slightly, with surprise in his eyes. He looked at Matthew and said, "You look like you are in trouble. Did you call me out to help you solve the problem? I am not your subordinate. We are just partners. I helped that girl before because the stuff in her body is useful to me."

Matthew looked calm as he recounted his recent experiences: "I recently encountered some monsters, which were not very common."

After saying this, he turned his wrist and a photo stone appeared in his hand.

The surface of this photo stone is smooth and emits a faint spiritual light.

Matthew slowly transferred his magic power into the photo stone, and in a moment, a picture appeared in front of Wu Kun.

This scene lasted no more than ten breaths, showing Matthew dealing with a monster.

In the picture, the monster rushed towards Matthew with bared fangs and claws, but Matthew responded calmly and cast magic to deal with the monster.

There was nothing particularly surprising about the whole scene, but after Wu Kun saw it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes.

He frowned slightly, thinking about something carefully, and it seemed that he knew something.

"Let's make a deal. Tell me why these monsters are like this, and you can make your own conditions." Matthew saw Wu Kun's expression, his heart moved, and he said softly.

Wu Kun's face turned a little ugly when he heard this, and he said slowly: "If it were before, I could really make conditions for you. But after seeing the contents of the image stone, I no longer have any conditions to make."

Hearing this, Matthew frowned deeply.

It was not because of Wu Kun's seemingly rejecting words, but because Wu Kun's attitude made him a little confused.

He wondered in his heart what Wu Kun meant by this.

"Let's talk first." Matthew said with a sigh.

Since Wu Kun said so, it means that he doesn't have what the other party wants.

For now, he could only give it a try, maybe he could get some key information from Wu Kun.

Wu Kun hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "It's okay to tell you. The reason why these monsters are like this is because of a magic treasure. The treasure is called the Soul-Burning Bell, which I refined in the human world. When I refined this treasure, I spent a lot of effort. I originally thought that the thing should have disappeared completely, but I didn't expect that it would fall into the hands of others."

Matthew was slightly startled, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he whispered: "Soul-burning bell... magic treasure..."

Wu Kun continued, "That's right. The Soul Burning Bell can control other people's minds, and it can also directly burn their souls to stimulate their maximum potential. Things controlled by the Soul Burning Bell cannot be detected by secret techniques, and once someone tries to detect it, it will immediately explode."

After listening to Wu Kun's story, Matthew's expression changed and he asked, "Since it is the magic treasure you made, ordinary people can't use it even if they get it. Could it be the Demon Slayer?"

Wu Kun shook his head and said, "The Soul-Burning Bell does have a way to recognize its master, and it is difficult for ordinary people to control it easily. But if someone has mastered a special method, or through some special means, it is not completely impossible. As for whether it is Mo Tu, I am not sure."

"One last question. What is there underneath the place where you were sealed back then?" Matthew nodded slowly, his eyes suddenly becoming sharper. He stared at Wu Kun and asked.

Matthew's question obviously caught Wu Kun by surprise.

Wu Kun was not frightened by Matthew's appearance, nor did he show any unnecessary expression.

Wu Kun just glanced at Matthew lightly, then flashed back into his body.

"Come and negotiate terms with me when you have enough money. I have told you a lot today, and I will ask you for interest later." Wu Kun's voice disappeared immediately after it appeared in Matthew's mind.

After Matthew sealed Wu Kun again, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

After a while, Matthew called Xingyan and Yueru into the cabin.

He repeated some of his guesses and what Wu Kun said to the two girls.

"Master, are you guessing that there is something else underneath the place where Wu Kun sealed it?" Yue Ru spoke first after listening to Matthew's story.

After Yueru finished speaking, Xingyan shook her head and gave her own guess.

"I think the master thinks that the place where Wu Kun was originally sealed might be the entrance to the demon clan headquarters."

"I did think what Xingyan guessed just now, but when I was talking to you, I suddenly felt that this was impossible." Matthew nodded first, then shook his head and said.

Hearing Matthew say this, the two girls immediately shut up and began to listen carefully to what Matthew said next.

"If the Demon Clan's headquarters was underneath that mineral vein, then Mo Tu would have attacked Wu Kun long ago. Considering Wu Kun's situation at the time, he had no power to resist Mo Tu at all. I can be absolutely sure of that."

Matthew's voice sounded again.

"Although I don't know what is under the mineral vein, I can be sure of one thing from the conversation with Wu Kun just now. Mo Tu didn't know that Wu Kun was sealed there, at least, he didn't know it before. It's unclear whether he knew it later."

Matthew's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance as he continued, "From this, I can tell that the underground of the mine is not the headquarters of the demon clan. There is no so-called demon clan headquarters even under the Tongtian Peak. All of this was done intentionally by the demon clan, and the purpose is probably to lure those high-level monks there and then wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Matthew's words made the two girls' faces change slightly, and they began to think seriously about what Matthew said.

Matthew's conjecture was bold and even directly overturned all previous conjectures.
