The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2358 Black Evil Soul-Destroying Array

However, those who wreaked havoc and attacked innocent monks in the city were all members of the Black Evil Sect who were in the Jindan stage.

Although these people's strength is not top-notch, they are numerous and their actions are orderly, which is obviously a well-planned one.

Their goal was clear: to create chaos, destroy the Golden City's infrastructure as much as possible, and weaken the city's defenses.

After Matthew appeared, he glanced coldly at the chaotic streets.

Without any hesitation, he released several sharp sword energies.

The sword energy flashed through the air like lightning, instantly killing dozens of members of the Black Evil Sect.

These Jindan stage monks had no power to resist Matthew at all. They fell to the ground without even having time to scream.

However, what Matthew did not expect was that after death, the bodies of those Black Evil Cult members who were killed began to self-destruct.

Although the power of the explosion had no effect on Matthew, a large amount of poisonous gas was released after the explosion.

The poisonous gas took on a strange dark green color and quickly spread in the air. Even some members of the Black Evil Cult began to emit large amounts of poisonous gas from their bodies before they died.

"poison gas?"

Matthew frowned slightly and waved his hand to dispel the poisonous aura around him.

His spiritual shield isolates the poison gas from outside, but the poison gas is extremely corrosive. If an ordinary cultivator inhales it, he will probably lose his combat effectiveness instantly, or even endanger his life.

"It seems that the Black Demon Cult has been preparing for a long time."

Matthew whispered, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"But why would they suddenly attack the Golden City at this moment? Is it just to create chaos?"

Yue Ru, who was standing beside Matthew, had a solemn expression on her face and analyzed softly, "That's true. The Blood Demon Cave is about to open, and the Golden Ancestor will definitely enter the Blood Demon Cave. If I were the commander of the Black Demon Cult, I would choose to take action after the Golden Ancestor left. After all, the Golden Ancestor is at least a Divine Transformation cultivator. With him in charge, it will be difficult for the Black Demon Cult to cause too much trouble in the Golden City. But they chose to act at this time, and it is obvious that they have a reason to do so."

Matthew nodded, looking into the distance with deep eyes: "This is also what I can't understand. The Black Evil Cult must have their own purpose for choosing to act at this time. Perhaps, this reason is only known by the Golden Armor and the top leaders of the Black Evil Cult."

Yue Ru heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Master, should we still rescue Huang Jinjia? We rushed here after receiving his call for help, but after entering the city, you just killed some low-level Black Evil Cult members and did not take any further action. This makes me a little confused about your plan."

When Ma Xiu heard Yue Ru's question, he suddenly grinned, with a sly look in his eyes: "Don't you want to know what secrets are hidden in the Golden City?"

Yue Ru was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and showed a sweet smile on her face: "So that's how it is, the master wants to take this opportunity to explore the secrets of the Golden City. The Black Evil Cult chose to act at this time, which must be related to some secrets in the city. If we act rashly, we may alert the enemy."

Matthew nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "That's right. Since the Black Evil Cult dared to launch an attack under the leadership of the Golden Ancestor, they must have something to rely on. We might as well wait and see what they are planning."

As the two were talking, there was a sudden loud explosion in the distance.

Then, a black beam of light shot up into the sky. Countless runes could be vaguely seen flashing in the beam of light, emitting a frightening evil aura.

"Is that... the Black Evil Sect's formation?" Yue Ru frowned and said in a low voice.

Matthew's eyes fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that their goal is not only to create chaos, but also to use the formation to completely destroy the defense system of the Golden City. Let's go and take a look."

After saying that, Matthew flashed and rushed towards the direction of the black light column.

Yueru followed closely behind. The two of them moved very quickly and arrived near the light column in the blink of an eye.

I saw a huge black altar standing in the center of the city, and the altar was surrounded by members of the Black Evil Cult.

They were dressed in black robes and had ferocious masks on their faces. They were muttering to themselves, as if they were initiating some ancient ritual.

Above the altar, a black beam of light continued to spread, and the surrounding buildings quickly collapsed and turned into dust under the erosion of the beam of light.

"Is this... the 'Black Evil Soul-Destroying Array'?" Yue Ru's face changed and she exclaimed in a low voice.

Matthew nodded, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes: "Yes, this is one of the Black Evil Sect's great formations, which can devour all life and turn all living things within the range into ashes. It seems that their target is not only the Golden City, but they want to take this opportunity to completely destroy the foundation of the Golden Ancestor."

"Then what should we do? If the formation is fully activated, the entire Golden City will be destroyed." Yueru asked anxiously.

Matthew sneered, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Since they dare to set up a battle array in front of me, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, he formed seals with his hands and the magic power in his body surged wildly.

The next moment, a brilliant golden light burst out from his palm and shot straight into the sky.

The golden light and the black light column collided violently in the air, causing a deafening roar.

"break!"

Matthew let out a low shout, and the golden light suddenly surged, suppressing the black light column.

The members of the Black Evil Sect around the altar were horrified upon seeing this, but they did not retreat. Instead, they sped up the speed of activating the formation.

"court death!"

Matthew snorted coldly, and the Jiuxiao Jieyun Sword flew out from his sleeve and rushed directly into the altar.

The speed of the Jiuxiao Jieyun Sword was extremely fast, and it was accompanied by bursts of breaking air and thunderous sounds.

Wherever he passed, members of the Black Evil Cult fell to the ground without even a chance to resist.

After a moment, the black beam of light on the altar completely dissipated, and the formation was forcibly broken by Matthew.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Black Evil Cult fled in all directions.

At this moment, Matthew and Yue Ru were standing on the altar, looking deep into the distance.

"Master, what should we do next?" Yueru walked to Matthew and asked in a low voice.

Matthew pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The Black Evil Cult's plan has been destroyed by us, but they will definitely not give up. We might as well take this opportunity to investigate the secrets of the Golden City in depth. Perhaps there is something hidden here that even the Golden Ancestor doesn't know."

Yue Ru nodded, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes: "I understand, Master. Then let's start investigating from this altar."

Matthew smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of deep meaning: "Yes, since this altar is the core of the Black Evil Cult, it must be hiding a lot of secrets. We might as well explore it carefully to see if we can find some clues."
