The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 1836 Crisis Emerges

When Matthew returned to the Zhenyuan Jedi, he immediately summoned Ghost Baby, Shi Potian and others over.

"This time when I went out, I brought back some secret techniques for refining puppets and the secret methods of controlling puppets. Yueru has also made great achievements in this area. You can use these secret techniques to refine a batch of puppets to resist the demon army in the future."

As Matthew spoke, he handed the jade slips of the secret technique of refining puppets and the jade slips of controlling puppets to the ghost baby for him to check first.

"Puppet...that's a good idea. But if the puppet is too weak, it won't be of much use." Shi Potian said when the ghost baby was checking the contents of the jade slip.

"The strength of the puppet is secondary. The main thing is that with the puppet, we can reduce casualties."

Before Matthew opened his mouth, Yueru had already spoken.

"That's right, and the method of refining puppets that I brought back this time includes those with strengths ranging from the Qi Refining Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage." Matthew nodded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shi Potian and the blood dwarf's eyes suddenly lit up.

They were obviously attracted by the Nascent Soul Puppet that Matthew mentioned.

"Yueru, you will reorganize the secret method of controlling puppets and make it easier to understand. The puppet matters will be left to you from now on." Matthew looked at Yueru and said.

After going through so much trouble to get these things, Matthew must hand them over to his own people.

Yueru is the most suitable candidate.

"As you command," Yueru agreed respectfully.

"It takes a strong spiritual sense to drive a puppet. Old Shi, you should select some disciples with outstanding spiritual sense and let them learn the art of puppetry. This matter should not be known to too many people. It is best to do it in secret." After Matthew finished speaking, he looked at Shi Potian and continued.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this. My two disciples are very suitable, and I'll pick some more when the time comes." Shi Potian nodded without hesitation.

After a moment, the ghost baby had finished reading the contents of the jade slip and handed it to Shi Potian.

Then, the ghost baby began to tell Matthew what had happened in various places during this period.

"For some reason, the number of demon army has suddenly started to decrease recently. Some places previously occupied by demons have been vacated, and some monks have returned to those places to establish bases."

"The specific cause is unknown for now, and it will take some time to investigate. In addition, the Demon Slayer Hall is also constantly recruiting monks. They want all of them regardless of their cultivation level and also give them a lot of benefits, but the effect is not very good. More monks would rather go to the more distant Nanling Kingdom and join the God Slayer Hall."

"In the past year, the God-Slaying Temple has completely occupied the Nanling Kingdom and is still expanding its sphere of influence. They have now become the number one force in the fight against demons, and some sects have even joined them."

The ghost baby quietly told Matthew what had happened over the past year.

"By the way, the ghost has sent back news. This is the detailed information." After the ghost baby finished speaking, he took out a piece of black bone from the storage bag and handed it to Matthew.

Matthew took the bone fragment and began to examine it carefully.

After reading it, Matthew frowned slightly.

The situation in the Guyuan Mountains was more troublesome than he had expected.

Although the natural restriction has been destroyed.

However, the number of monsters attacking the Ancient Source Mountains is extremely large, and their attacks are continuous.

Even though there are many monsters in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, they suffer heavy losses every time they resist the demon army.

Moreover, the Ten Thousand Demons Valley was beginning to show signs of weakness and was beginning to demand cooperation from the cultivators.

As for the villages in the Guyuan Mountains, they have long been cooperating with the Wan Yao Valley.

Although it is called cooperation, in Guiyin's opinion it is almost the same as surrender.

However, it is obviously impossible to resist the attack of the demon army for a long time relying solely on the Ten Thousand Demons Valley and the monks in those villages.

However, the Guyuan Mountains are located in a remote area, and there are no sects in the surrounding areas.

Therefore, they also sent people or demon kings out to find partners for cooperation.

According to the information sent back by the ghost, the Ten Thousand Demons Valley has begun to contact the people from the Demon-Slaying Palace.

As for what happened next, the intelligence did not say.

This kind of cooperation involves various conflicts of interest and it is difficult to reach an agreement in a short period of time.

"There is one more thing. About three months ago, some strange monks began to appear around Zhenyuan Jedi. After our observation, those people did not seem to be monks, but more like monsters. I guess they want to find out the situation in Zhenyuan Jedi. I have called back all the teams that went out."

After Matthew finished reading the contents on the black bone fragment, the ghost baby continued speaking.

"Whose man is that outside?" At this time, Matthew suddenly turned his head and looked towards the door and said.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Even Shi Potian, who was still reading the jade slip, looked towards the direction of the secret room door with some confusion.

"Go and bring him in." Seeing everyone's reactions, Matthew already knew the result and immediately said to Yueru.

After Yueru agreed, she immediately left the secret room.

Then, a scream was heard from outside.

Then, Yueru returned to the secret room carrying a young man.

"Weidong!"

When Shi Potian saw the man in Yueru's hand, a look of surprise appeared on his face and he shouted.

"Are they from the Jinding Sect?" Matthew asked.

He didn't know the Wei Dong mentioned by Shi Potian, and it was the first time he heard his name.

"Yes, I have been in the Jinding Sect for more than 20 years." Shi Potian nodded with a gloomy expression.

"Weidong, why are you eavesdropping outside the door?" The blood dwarf asked in a cold voice with a hint of murderous intent on his face.

At this moment, Yueru directly threw Weidong to the ground and came to Matthew without looking back.

"Ancestor Xue, I was just guarding outside the door. I didn't do anything."

Wei Dong knelt on the ground with a pale face and shouted at the blood dwarf, looking completely frightened.

"Have you sent someone to guard it?" The blood dwarf turned and looked at Shi Potian and asked.

"We are discussing things here. When do we need a Foundation Establishment cultivator to guard the door? Are you getting senile?" Shi Potian said with a cold look at the blood dwarf.

After saying that, he glared at Wei Dong fiercely.

"It was the Sect Master who asked me to come here. This is absolutely true. I dare not lie."

After being glared at by Shi Potian, Wei Dong's body trembled violently. He cried and kowtowed continuously.

"I'll go find Gu Zhi and come over!"

A cold light flashed in the blood dwarf's eyes, and after he finished speaking, he turned into a ball of blood light and flew away.

The faces of the people present all looked unhappy at this moment.

Weidong's appearance obviously indicates some problems.

The reason why only Matthew discovered Wei Dong was because when Wei Dong was outside, he used a rather mysterious invisibility technique and actually deceived the people inside.

This is what is really worrying.
