The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

Five years later.

At the edge of Xiaoyu Island, Matthew was driving a black short knife to attack a middle-aged man in front of him.

The man had been defending with the shield in his hand.

"Daoyou, it's a misunderstanding. I really broke in unintentionally." The middle-aged man shouted anxiously.

"Misunderstanding... Knowing that there is a magic circle here, you still want to force your way in. Now you tell me it's a misunderstanding?" Matthew said coldly.

As he spoke, there was a slight sound on the ground under the middle-aged man's feet.

When he looked down, he saw a pink snake about ten feet long coming out.

After the pink snake appeared, it bit his ankle.

"Ah!"

The middle-aged man screamed, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. Just when he was about to attack the pink snake, his body shook slightly and fell to the ground.

After waiting for a while, he saw that the middle-aged man had completely died.

The pink snake slowly crawled over, swept its tail, and the storage bag on its waist flew towards Matthew.

It sprayed a pink mist from its mouth onto the corpse.

The corpse covered by the pink mist was decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the pink snake sucked in the mist and the remaining corpse, it was sucked into its mouth.

After dealing with the corpse, the pink snake returned to Matthew's side without haste.

"Well done." Matthew smiled and said after throwing out a pill.

After the pink snake swallowed the pill in one gulp, it twisted its body and drilled into the ground.

"This is the fifth time I've been disturbed. It seems that I can't stay in Xiaoyu Island any longer." After checking the storage bag in his hand, Matthew shook his head and said to himself.

His retreat this time was not very smooth. Although his cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building, people had frequently touched the magic circle since three years ago.

At first, those people left after touching the magic circle, and Matthew didn't take it seriously.

But later, someone began to attack the magic circle.

Being disturbed at the critical moment of cultivation made Matthew angry and annoyed.

In order to teach the outsiders a lesson, Matthew opened the magic circle and let everyone in. Then he used the power of the Eight-Gate Golden Light Array to kill all those people.

It was also at that time that Matthew knew that the Nine Nether Sky Snake preferred to devour meat.

In order to prevent others from disturbing him again, Matthew hung the heads of those people outside to serve as a warning to others.

This did have some effect. No one came to disturb him for a while.

But this year, he entered the first level of the Black Dragon Art. Before he had time to consolidate his cultivation, someone started to attack his magic circle again.

Until today, Matthew has killed five waves of monks who tried to break in.

For these monks who broke in by force, Matthew showed no mercy and killed them all one by one.

Back in the cave, Matthew packed up the things inside and left.

After removing the two sets of magic circles outside, Matthew went straight to Yucheng.

He needed to figure out what exactly caused so many monks to come here.

Xiaoyu Island is a very remote island. People who come here either spend the rest of their lives in peace or find a secluded place to retreat like him.

On the way to Yucheng, Matthew saw many monks wandering around the island.

He even encountered two monks fighting each other for a place.

When he came to Yucheng, he found that there were many more monks here than when he first came.

After walking on the street for a while, Matthew came to a tavern.

The last time he passed this tavern, there was no one inside.

This time when he came in, the first floor was full of people, and Matthew was taken to a window seat on the second floor by the waiter.

After Matthew sat down, he ordered a few side dishes casually and released his spiritual sense to listen to other people's conversations.

"Have you heard that even the Shaking Foundation Island fell a few days ago."

"Of course I heard about it. I saw with my own eyes that one of the two Nascent Soul guardians of the Tushen Temple died and the other escaped. The one who escaped was left with only one Nascent Soul."

"Shaking Foundation Island can be ranked among the top 20 islands in the inner sea. The protective formation on it is extremely powerful, but it was not spared."

The people sitting in the tavern were all monks who had recently escaped from other places. What they talked about most was what happened recently in the Prison God Sea, which was why Matthew chose the tavern.

The people here talked about a variety of things, and Matthew could only pick out what he was interested in.

Entering the late stage of foundation building, his spiritual sense had expanded to a range of nearly ninety feet, and as long as others did not use a soundproof cover, they could easily hear it.

After sitting for a while, Matthew picked up the wine pot on the table and came to a nearby table.

There were three people sitting here, two men and one woman.

The three people talked about things about the Prison God Sea, and Matthew heard the most.

Seeing the appearance of the strange monk, the three people who were talking immediately shut up.

"My name is Li Mu. I wonder if I can make an acquaintance with you three." Ma Xiu put the wine pot gently on the table and said with a smile.

"We don't know each other, this is a bit too abrupt." The ordinary-looking female cultivator looked at Ma Xiu warily and said.

"Li has just come out of retreat, and just wants to know what happened recently." Ma Xiu smiled slightly.

"I think you have a kind face, not a vicious person, why don't you sit down." After the three of them talked for a few words using the sound transmission technique, the middle-aged man sitting in the middle spoke.
