The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2053 The back-up plan left by the demon clan

Time passed little by little, and a few hours went by in a flash.

At this time, the originally inky black sky has gradually become transparent, as if an invisible big hand has gently lifted the mysterious veil.

At this moment, a white figure emerged quietly like a ghost.

When everyone looked carefully, they found that the old man in white who was the clan leader had finally appeared.

He had an upright figure, an immortal look, and exuded an otherworldly aura.

Even Matthew, who was sitting in the corner, showed a hint of surprise when he saw the old man in white.

The aura exuded by the old man in white at this moment was completely different from before.

As soon as the old man in white appeared, the scene suddenly became quiet and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Then, his clear voice rang out: "Everyone, after this period of observation and analysis, we can now confirm that the demons have begun to retreat!"

This sentence was like a bombshell, instantly causing a huge stir among the crowd.

People were whispering to each other, with expressions of surprise or confusion on their faces.

The old man in white did not mention that Matthew knew about this in advance.

If this news were leaked, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.

After all, important information like this that affects the overall situation should be told to everyone early on, rather than being kept in the hands of one person alone.

If some people become dissatisfied or even suspicious because of this, it will definitely not be a good thing for the entire situation.

Therefore, the old man chose to conceal this detail temporarily in order to maintain the stability and harmony of the team.

"However, in order to prevent the demons from making a comeback, you still need to remain on guard for a while. You will have to work hard in the next period of time." The old man in white waited until the scene calmed down again before continuing.

At this time, no one would say anything against it.

As long as they can confirm that the demons have retreated, they won't have to worry so much.

Next, just stay where you are and continue observing.

Anyway, the area where they are active is on Dengtianling Island, so there is not much difference.

The old man in white said a few more words and then looked towards Matthew.

At this moment, Matthew happened to meet the eyes of the old man in white.

The two sides smiled at each other tacitly but did not say anything.

However, the good times did not last long. Not long after, the relaxed and joyful atmosphere on Dengtianling Island, which was full of laughter, seemed to be suddenly blown away by a gust of wind, and was replaced by a series of creepy wailing sounds.

At this moment, Matthew was standing quietly in a wide square. His face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm. His eyes were fixed on the sky above his head, as if he wanted to see through the sky to the huge crisis hidden behind it.

Just now, the inky black curtain that enveloped the entire Dengtianling Island finally slowly dissipated until it completely disappeared.

However, when everyone was filled with joy and thought that with the departure of this dark curtain, this terrible disaster would also disappear.

The cruel reality gave them a heavy blow.

Because at the moment when the black curtain disappeared, everyone was horrified to find that countless criss-crossing, densely packed and countless translucent chains suddenly appeared out of thin air around the entire spiritual island!

These strange chains were like the devil's hands reaching out from the depths of hell, silently and tightly wrapping around Dengtianling Island, forming an indestructible cage.

At first, everyone, including Matthew, was shocked and overwhelmed by this sudden change.

Everyone thought that as long as the shady dealings disappeared, all the troubles would be solved.

But who could have expected that even though the demons had evacuated this place, they still left behind such a sinister and cunning backup plan.

At this moment, the staggering number of translucent chains were like an endless, impenetrable net, tightly covering the Dengtianling Island.

Such a tight blockade makes it impossible for people on the island to escape!

Faced with such a predicament, the monks, who had already been extremely anxious, could no longer suppress the fear and anger in their hearts.

They used all the powerful spells they knew to destroy these annoying chains in one fell swoop.

For a moment, dazzling light flashed continuously, accompanied by bursts of roars that resounded through the sky.

However, what made people despair was that no matter how hard they tried to attack, those translucent chains that seemed quite fragile were always as solid as a rock and did not suffer any damage at all.

There were even some impatient monks who simply took out their magic weapons and started chopping at the chains like crazy.

However, no matter how hard they wielded the magic weapons in their hands, the final result was still in vain.

The chains were much harder than they had imagined, and not even a trace of cracks appeared.

Since it was unclear whether these chains were dangerous or not, no one dared to fly out of the light shield to find out.

Everyone was trapped on the island and racked their brains to think of ways to attack the chains through various means.

But everyone knew very well that since the demons had set up such a line of defense, it was definitely not just to trap them here with chains.

There must be something more sinister and cunning waiting for them behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, everyone's mood became particularly heavy and complicated.

"Young master, this doesn't seem to be a solution. Someone should go out and try these chains at close range." At this moment, the old man in white appeared beside Matthew and spoke immediately.

Although he was looking at the dense chains outside the Spirit Island, his eyes would glance towards Matthew from time to time.

The meaning of the old man in white's words was very clear. He wanted Matthew to go out and test the chain.

How could Matthew not understand the meaning of the other party's words?

After sneering in his heart, he said calmly, "Yes, someone should go out and try. The great magical power displayed by the clan leader during the previous battle against the demons is still fresh in my memory. Why don't you go out and try it yourself? With your knowledge and strength, you should be able to better judge the effect of the chain."

Matthew said this very seriously, and his words were full of flattery for the patriarch.

But when the old man in white heard this, his cheeks twitched slightly.

He originally wanted to ask Matthew to leave, but this time Matthew didn't say anything polite to him and directly threw the question back to him.

The most important thing is that when Matthew said this, he deliberately raised his voice a little.

As a result, all the monks nearby could hear it clearly.

At this moment, everyone was looking at them curiously.
