The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2045 Undercurrent

"Young Master, this is serious!"

The old man in white had a face that was originally as calm as water, but at this moment, he actually revealed a rare look of excitement that was difficult to conceal.

He widened his eyes, stared at Matthew in front of him, and asked with a slightly trembling voice.

It wasn't just the old man in white. The old man in silver robe and Giraud standing beside him also had expectant expressions on their faces. Their eyes were all focused on Matthew, as if they wanted to see the truth of the matter directly through his eyes.

They were eager to hear the definite answer from Matthew that they had been waiting for for a long time.

Matthew faced the eager gazes of the three people, hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "I got this news by forcibly searching the soul of that evil thought. According to common sense, it should be true. But..."

At this point, Matthew frowned slightly, and his tone became a little uncertain. "After all, this is just information obtained through soul searching, and I can't guarantee its authenticity 100%. But based on the current situation, this news is still quite credible."

After saying these words, Matthew couldn't help but sigh softly.

After listening to what Matthew said quietly, the old man in white remained silent at first, as if time had frozen at this moment.

After a long while, he suddenly came to his senses from his deep thoughts, as if he remembered some key points, and nodded slightly, thoughtfully, to show his agreement.

Then, he muttered to himself in a low voice: "No wonder... In recent days, those demons have disappeared completely as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid the truth of this news is really not low!"

I saw him muttering softly while subconsciously stretching out his right hand and gently stroking the tuft of snow-white beard on his chin.

At the same time, in his originally deep and calm eyes, there was now a barely perceptible gleam of thought.

At this time, Matthew, who was sitting next to him, slowly said, "Whether this news is true or not, we should not spread it easily for the time being. After all, the situation is still unclear, so we should let the tribesmen continue to maintain a high level of vigilance. No one can predict whether those cunning demons will change their action plans again."

After saying this, Matthew solemnly scanned the faces of the three people.

Hearing this, the old man Bai Ruyi nodded without hesitation, indicating his full agreement.

His face was solemn, and he responded slowly, "Of course it is so! So far, only the four of us know about this. As for the rest of the tribe, it is better to keep it secret for now."

After saying that, his deep and sharp eyes turned specifically towards the silver-robed old man and Ji Luo standing beside him.

Although not a single word was uttered, the implication was obvious. It was hoped that the two of them would keep their lips shut and not reveal this confidential information to anyone outside.

"Don't worry. I know this matter is of great importance. I will keep my mouth shut and won't reveal a word to anyone. Now that everything is clear, I will take Giraud back to check it carefully."

The old man in silver robe was obviously a little dissatisfied with the deliberate hint made by the old man in white robe.

Just as the words fell, he suddenly stood up from his seat like an enraged lion.

Without any hesitation or words, he reached out and grabbed Ji Luo beside him, turned around and strode out the door.

Looking at his series of smooth movements, clean and neat, without any delay, it is obvious that he had already made the decision in his heart, and it seems that he does not want to stay here for even a moment.

At this moment, his face was full of anger, and his whole body exuded an uncontrollable anger that made people afraid to approach him.

The reaction of the old man in silver robe was really beyond Matthew's expectations.

The old man in white who had been standing quietly by the side said to the young master in front of him with a hint of apology on his face, "I am so sorry, young master, please forgive me! Elder Yin has been in a bad mood recently because of Elder Jin's injury. Please bear with me."

Although these words sounded like an explanation to Matthew, if one paid close attention, one would be able to discover that in the depths of the old man in white's eyes, there was a faint, barely perceptible flash of cold light.

However, deep down in Matthew's heart, it was as clear as a mirror that this creepy chill was definitely not directed at him.

In fact, he had already heard the rumors about the tense and irreconcilable relationship between the mysterious old man in white and the four clan leaders.

However, when the demon army was surging like a tide and approaching the city, the situation was so critical that it could be described as a matter of life and death.

At that critical moment of life and death, both sides knew that only by putting aside past grudges and working together could they resist the unstoppable invasion of the demons.

Now, based on the analysis of the confidential intelligence Matthew brought back, it seems very likely that the demons will choose to strategically withdraw from the battlefield.

As a result, all the open and secret struggles and conflicts that had been hidden deep in the island were now exposed to everyone without reservation, just like a fig leaf had been lifted.

Especially after Elder Jin, who enjoyed the highest prestige among the four elders, was unfortunately seriously injured, the only person who could stand up to stabilize the situation and hold up the occasion was the silver-robed old man who had just left in a hurry.

Perhaps during these seemingly peaceful days, the old man in white is secretly planning some unknown conspiracy.

As for what exactly happened on the island during this period of time, Matthew had no idea.

Moreover, from the very beginning, he had no intention of getting involved in this confusing and complicated vortex of disputes.

He just wanted to stay on the island for a while and leave immediately after arriving at Mangcang Treasure Pavilion.

He still has his own things to do.

The process of achieving the state of godhood has been delayed for quite some time due to the appearance of the demons.

If I get involved in the internal affairs of the Mangcang tribe, it might waste my time.

His so-called Young Master was just a verbal title.

Neither the old man in white nor the four elders could truly agree with him.

Matthew himself was well aware of this.

So, after the old man in white finished his explanation, Matthew said a few words and left.

Matthew, who had just reached the door, suddenly paused for a moment, then walked out directly.
