The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2184 Persuasion

After Matthew asked a few more questions about the relevant matters, the two of them did not delay any longer. They turned around and left without hesitation, and quickly disappeared from the spot.

Along the way, the Xuanwu monster king led the way, and the two of them galloped like two lightning bolts.

Wherever they went, they were so fast that others could hardly even catch a glimpse of their figures.

With the Black Tortoise King of Beasts leading the way personally, the journey was smooth and they didn't encounter any beasts that dared to stop them.

Soon, they successfully entered the territory of the Suzaku Beast King.

However, before they could move forward, suddenly, a graceful figure appeared not far in front of them like a ghost.

Looking closely, I saw that the person coming was a tall and graceful middle-aged woman.

She was wearing a bright red long dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, as dazzling as a burning flame.

At this moment, the Black Tortoise Beast King stared at the middle-aged woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, then carefully turned his head and whispered to Matthew beside him in a low voice: "Master, this is the Vermillion Bird Beast King!"

There was a hint of solemnity in his tone.

"Xuanwu, why did you come to my place instead of staying in your own area? And why is there a human being beside you? Have you forgotten the agreement between us?"

The middle-aged woman glanced at the two people in front of her with a gloomy face, and then asked coldly, her words full of obvious displeasure and rebuke.

Especially when she turned her gaze to Matthew, a strong murderous intent instantly emerged in her eyes.

Facing the middle-aged woman's sharp questioning, Xuanwu was startled for a moment, then he stretched out his hand to scratch his head, then he opened his mouth with a naive smile and responded: "Sister... this is Fellow Daoist Ma, and now he is my master."

As he spoke, Xuanwu's tone seemed very natural and fluent, as if he had already memorized the speech.

In fact, ever since the moment he decided to recognize Matthew as his master, Xuanwu, the king of strange beasts, had repeatedly rehearsed in his mind countless times the scene of introducing his new identity to others.

So at this moment when he said this in person, he did not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment or awkwardness.

However, after hearing this, the Suzaku Monster King standing opposite was stunned on the spot, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Obviously, Suzaku found it hard to accept that Xuanwu would willingly recognize a human as his master.

You know, these powerful kings of strange beasts have always been arrogant and solitary, so how could they easily succumb to mere humans?

"Do you know what you're talking about!"

In just a moment, the shock was replaced by endless anger.

Her eyes were wide open, burning with anger, and she was like a volcano about to erupt.

The anger came with great force, surging like a flood that broke through a dam, and swept towards Matthew like a violent storm.

In the blink of an eye, this anger turned into an extremely terrifying murderous intent, rushing straight towards Matthew with a chilling aura.

However, just as this murderous intent was about to touch Matthew, the Black Tortoise Beast King stood in front of Matthew like an indestructible mountain.

It held its head high and chest puffed out, letting out a low roar that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth.

Faced with this extremely fierce murderous intent, the Black Tortoise Beast King showed no fear at all.

It opened its mouth and spurted out a powerful stream of air, which collided fiercely with the murderous intent.

There was only a loud bang, and the air around it began to tremble violently.

Under the tenacious resistance of the Black Tortoise Beast King, the surging murderous intent that seemed to be able to tear the world apart gradually receded like a tide, and finally disappeared without a trace.

"You beast!"

Seeing that her sure-fire attack was blocked so easily, the middle-aged woman's body couldn't help but tremble slightly. She widened her eyes and glared at the Black Tortoise Beast King in front of her. Her face turned red with extreme anger, veins bulged on her forehead, and her whole body exuded a chilling and violent aura.

However, facing the middle-aged woman who was already in a state of rage, the Black Tortoise King remained calm, without even raising his eyelids. He slowly opened his mouth and said in a low but firm voice: "Big sister, I came here this time to persuade you to submit to my master as well."

Just as the Black Tortoise Beast King finished his words, the middle-aged woman, who was like a volcano about to erupt, suddenly became quiet in an instant as if she was cast under a spell.

She took a deep breath and suppressed the rage burning in her heart. She narrowed her narrow phoenix eyes and looked up and down at the Black Tortoise Beast King in front of her, as if she wanted to find out some clues from him.

After a while, the middle-aged woman spoke again, but her tone was much softer than before, but still with a hint of suspicion and questioning: "Humph! Could it be that you, a beast, have some leverage over him? If that's the case, you can just tell me, and I will find ways to help you out of your predicament. If my conditions can't satisfy him, I can just call those two guys over, and the four of us will join forces, and he won't dare to act rashly. Everything in the world has a price to negotiate, and then you just need to let him make the conditions."

Just as the two were talking, the middle-aged woman suddenly turned her head, and her eyes seemed to turn into two extremely sharp arrows, shooting straight towards Matthew behind the Black Tortoise Beast King!

The chill in that gaze was like polar frost, making one's hair stand on end and shudder.

However, facing such a sharp gaze, Matthew remained silent from beginning to end, standing there quietly like a sculpture.

In fact, they had already discussed the countermeasures long before they came here.

At that time, the Black Tortoise King of Beasts told Matthew the truth.

The Vermillion Bird King has always had an extremely hot temper, but fortunately he is not an unreasonable person.

Therefore, it plans to try to persuade him first. If it can get the consent of the Vermillion Bird King, that would be great. But if he insists on not agreeing, it will not be too late for you to take action then.

It is for this reason that Matthew is so calm and composed at this moment, silently waiting for the right opportunity to take action.

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, the Black Tortoise Beast King began to slowly recount the deal he had made with Matthew.

As for the matter of the life and death order, it has not been mentioned for the time being.
