The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

In a dark underground space.

A group of monks were entangled in gray silk threads and hung in mid-air.

In addition to the monks, there were several sea monsters hanging nearby.

There is a pool of water beneath them.

It was different from the clear water I saw on weekdays.

The liquid in this pool is all gray and black.

Moreover, the temperature here is extremely low.

Although the temperature is very low, there is strangely no frost here.

At this time, ripples suddenly appeared in the calm pool.

Then, a gray humanoid monster emerged from the water.

This monster has ten slender black arms behind it.

However, the palms on two of the arms have disappeared.

After the monster appeared, it looked at the monk hanging in the air with a wide grin.

An arm behind him suddenly stretched out, and after quickly extending it, he grabbed a sea monster next to him.

"Unexpectedly, the sea monster that should have been extinct a long time ago actually appeared again." After the arm caught the unconscious sea monster in front of him, the monster actually muttered to himself.

After saying that, it opened its mouth and bit the unconscious sea monster directly.

The bitten sea monster's eyes suddenly opened.

A shrill scream came from his mouth.

The scream of the sea monster was extremely sharp. After it sounded in this space, the sound spread to all corners.

The monks who were originally unconscious also woke up because of the scream.

When the monks saw their situation and the monster below, their expressions changed drastically.

Among them were Matthew and the seven elders.

Under everyone's gaze, the screaming sea monster was swallowed by the monster in a few mouthfuls.

"Isn't this the cave of an ancient monk? How could such a monster exist?" One of the monks exclaimed, his face turned pale after witnessing this cruel scene.

But as soon as his voice appeared, he immediately attracted the monster's attention.

Then, an arm stretched out from behind the monster and grabbed the man.

"No, no..."

The monk was terrified and struggled desperately.

But his struggle had no effect, and instead aroused the monster's sneer.

The monster bit the monk's thigh, and after tearing it hard, the entire thigh was torn off.

"what!"

The severe pain made the monk scream.

The monster chewed the thigh in his mouth a few times and then swallowed it.

He licked his lips and continued to bite.

Soon, the monk made no sound.

After eating the whole body of the monk, the monster burped.

After touching his slightly bulging belly, his body slowly dived into the pool.

It looked like he was going to enjoy these monks slowly.

Seeing that the monster disappeared, all the monks secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The gray silk threads wrapped around their bodies can continuously absorb the mana in their bodies, leaving all the mana in each person's body empty.

"Seventh Elder, what should we do?" At this time, a monk from the Temple of Slaughter shouted loudly.

"The purpose of the person who gave us the news was to trick us here, and the purpose should be to feed the monsters. Now I will use a secret method to pass the news to the palace master." The seventh elder said with an extremely solemn expression.

"I haven't been here for a long time, the Yuanying monk. I've forgotten a little about what Yuanying is like."

After the seventh elder finished speaking, an old man's voice sounded in the space.

Matthew's expression changed after hearing this voice.

This voice actually sounded familiar to him.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Matthew's pupils suddenly shrank.

I saw an old man sitting on the edge of the pool.

This person's appearance is exactly the same as Zhao Ping.

"Fellow Taoist, I am the elder of Tu Temple. Is there any misunderstanding?" The seventh elder is indeed a Nascent Soul monk. After the initial surprise passed, his face returned to calmness and he looked at the old man and said.

"Misunderstanding... Haha, the reason why I arranged these here is to attract you people who slaughtered the temple. Do you think it is a misunderstanding?"

The old man burst out laughing when he heard this.

"To tell you the truth, the other secret places you went to before were all deliberately arranged by me." Seeing the seventh elder's pale face, the old man continued proudly.

"I wonder how our Tushen Temple has offended Your Excellency." The seventh elder asked while trying to calm down.

"Since you are the elder of Tushen Temple, do you know about the Heavenly Ghost Clan?" The old man's smile faded and he stared at the seventh elder and asked.

"You are from the Tiangui tribe!" At this time, the seventh elder could no longer control his emotions and asked with a trembling voice.

After hearing about the Tiangui Clan, Matthew's eyes showed contemplation.

He had seen some descriptions about the Heavenly Ghost Clan in a miscellaneous book.

It is said that the Tiangui Clan was once one of the oldest families in the Sea of ​​Prisoners, and the monks in this family were proficient in ghost ways and supernatural powers.

It's just that the Tiangui tribe has a small population and doesn't like to interact with others, so the world doesn't know much about them.

The miscellaneous book he read said that the Heavenly Ghost Clan had disappeared into the Sea of ​​Prisoners because they had no successors.

Now it seems that's not the case. There must be something happening that he doesn't know about.

The biggest reason may be related to the Temple of Slaughter.
