The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2449 Error

"Long time no see, Star Envoy, Moon Envoy." Zhong Wen's empty eye sockets seemed to reveal endless darkness, deep and distant. His gaze fell on Xing Yan and Yue Ru. After a moment's silence, he was the first to speak and break the silence.

His voice was hollow and dry, like a bellows that had not been used for a long time. Every word carried a hint of oldness and vicissitudes, as if carrying the weight of time, echoing in this silent space.

"Long time no see, Zhong Tianguan."

Xingyan and Yueru lowered their heads slightly, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in their eyes.

After a moment of silence, they slowly recovered from their initial shock and responded to Zhong Wen softly.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they tacitly stopped talking and all their eyes returned to the Palace Master's clone.

In their hearts, they all knew very well that Zhong Wen's appearance might just be a small episode, an opportunity to trigger the next key event.

After all, a Zhong Wen was obviously not worthy of the Palace Master specially releasing his clone to meet him.

Among these, there must be something more important that needs to be explained.

Sure enough, when the three people's eyes were focused on the Palace Master's clone, the Palace Master's clone's voice sounded coldly: "Zhong Wen, have you ever made a deal with the blood clan?"

The voice echoed in the silent space with an unquestionable majesty.

After hearing this question, Zhong Wen's body trembled slightly, and then he answered respectfully: "My Lord, I did make a deal with those guys. I taught them some secret techniques in exchange for them doing things for me."

His voice trembled slightly, and every utterance seemed to be recalling that unbearable experience.

"But I only taught them some simple secret techniques and never told them the real secrets."

The Palace Master's clone nodded slightly, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.

After a moment, she asked again: "Then do you know that their goal is to bring the Blood God down to the human world?"

As soon as this question was raised, the air seemed to freeze.

After hearing this, Zhong Wen clenched his teeth, as if he was recalling the transaction process with the vampires.

Matthew had not told the Palace Master about these things, but he understood that just because he did not say it, it did not mean that others would not say it.

Xingyan and Yueru had a way to inform the Palace Master of this matter, so when the Palace Master told him about the Blood God, Matthew did not feel that surprised. He just stood aside quietly, his eyes revealing a worry about the situation that would follow.

"I was deceived by them at the beginning. I thought they just wanted to restore the glory of the vampire race."

Zhong Wen spoke slowly, with a hint of regret and helplessness in his voice.

"At that time, I was already at the end of my strength. All I wanted was to save my life as soon as possible, so I made a deal with them without thinking."

He paused slightly, as if recalling those dark days.

Every fragment of memory was like a needle, piercing his heart deeply.

"After a while, I realized something was wrong. I knew what kind of existence the Blood God was, so I terminated my cooperation after I knew their true intentions. And I was abandoned by them and sealed here."

Zhong Wen's words were full of regret. He was deeply aware that his wrong decision at the time was like a fuse that triggered a series of irreversible consequences.

He quickly recounted the entire story of his contact with the vampires. Those days when he was blinded by interests and fear made him feel extremely painful and regretful.

Now that things have come to this, there is no need to go into the details of the contact.

After all, these have become the past and cannot be changed.

"The Blood God's clone has already descended into the human world. Fortunately, Matthew teleported him away through this underground teleportation formation."

The Palace Master's clone's voice was still very calm, as if he was just stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.

But her slightly narrowed eyes still revealed her deep worries.

Hearing this, the flames in Zhong Wen's eyes flickered violently a few times, and the flames seemed to be blown by a sudden gust of wind and burned violently.

Obviously, he just found out about this. This sudden news made him feel uneasy for a long time. The deep sense of guilt instantly surged into his heart, making him almost breathless.

While the palace master was speaking, he did not forget to turn around and glance at Matthew who was standing behind him.

There was no trace of gratitude or blame in that look, just pure observation and scrutiny.

"It was because of me that the Blood Clan's plan was completed so quickly."

After a moment, Zhong Wen sighed heavily, and the sigh seemed to come from the depths of his soul, carrying endless regret and self-blame.

"If I had been more sober and not been blinded by profit, perhaps none of this would have happened."

Zhong Wen's voice was low and hoarse, and every word seemed to be spoken with all his strength.

His body was trembling slightly, as if he was suffering from great inner torture.

His heart was filled with regret, as if countless regrets were surging in his heart, making it almost impossible for him to face everything in front of him.

"Although you have your reasons for this, you also have your own difficulties. I won't blame you completely for this. However, you still cannot escape the responsibility."

There was a hint of complex emotions in the voice of the Palace Master's clone, expressing both regret for Zhong Wen's fate and worry about the seriousness of the situation.

When she said the last sentence, her eyes suddenly became a little sharper.

Those sharp eyes seemed to be able to penetrate Zhong Wen's soul and see directly into the secrets and sins deep in his heart.

"You should know that once the Blood God descends upon the human world, the human world will be enveloped in a barrier. At that time, no one will be able to leave the human world, and my plan will be forced to change and extend because of you."

When Zhong Wen heard this, he felt even more guilty.

He was fully aware of the huge impact his mistake had brought to the entire situation, and he almost wanted to immediately find a way to get out of it and make up for the mistake he had made.

After hearing this, Zhong Wen immediately knelt down.

He wanted to express his apologies in this way, hoping to find a glimmer of possibility for redemption in front of the Palace Master.

However, before he could complete the action, an invisible force held his body back and prevented him from kneeling down.

This force was like an indestructible shackle that tightly bound his body and prevented him from moving forward according to his own wishes.

Zhong Wen was shocked and tried to struggle, but found that this force was so strong that it was far beyond his imagination.

He could only helplessly maintain a half-squatting posture.

A trace of scrutiny flashed across the eyes of the Palace Master's clone. She did not rush to speak, but looked at Zhong Wen quietly, as if waiting for his next move.

There was no mercy in her eyes, only a persistent pursuit of the truth.
