The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Although Matthew already knew in which direction the Wu family of Jingchuan State was located, he only knew it roughly.

So, after flying for a while, he released Wu Xi and asked him to point out the exact route.

Wu Xi was a little confused when he first came out, after all, Matthew had kept him sealed in the Qinglong Bracelet.

He knew nothing about what was going on outside.

After Matthew patiently explained to Wu Xi where they were now, Wu Xi finally understood.

Matthew had promised him before that he would go to the Wu family in Jingchuan State.

Wu Xi didn't have much hope.

Especially after he had been sealed for such a long time, the last bit of hope in Wu Xi's heart was almost wiped out.

But now, Matthew said he wanted to take him to the Wu family in Jingchuan State, which surprised and delighted Wu Xi.

While flying, Matthew asked Wu Xi to identify the direction.

Although he had been away for a long time, Wu Xi was still able to accurately guide Matthew.

Because he had to keep identifying directions, Matthew's flying speed was not very fast.

About half a month later, he finally arrived in Jingchuan State.

Jingchuan Kingdom is indeed not big, and the spiritual energy here is not as strong as other places.

The Wu family’s location is also easy to find.

But when the two of them arrived in front of the Wu family residence, they were stunned.

It was seen that the Wu family's originally imposing gate had long lost its former glory.

The door was open, the paint was peeling and the facade was mottled, as if the traces of time were deeply imprinted on it.

The golden nails on the gates of the past have now become rusty and dull.

In particular, there are many gaps on the gate, as if it had been attacked by weapons.

The stone lions beside the door are no longer majestic, but covered with dust and weeds.

Seeing this, Wu Xi ignored Matthew and ran straight in.

When Matthew went in, he saw that the originally spacious courtyard had now become deserted, overgrown with weeds, and the stone pavement was broken.

Following Wu Xi into a house, the former splendor was no longer there.

The walls are peeling, the pillars are leaning, and the roof is leaking, revealing desolation and depression everywhere.

"How could this happen? What on earth happened?!"

Wu Xi leaned weakly against a collapsed pillar and murmured softly.

Even though it was Matthew's first time here, after seeing the situation here, he roughly knew that the Wu family must have suffered a devastating disaster.

Besides, it has been quite a while.

"Take me to where the last holy artifact is stored." Matthew said softly, ignoring Wu Xi's changing emotions.

Although the voice was not loud, it carried a hint of unquestionable force.

After hearing this, Wu Xi quickly recovered from his depressed mood.

He quickly stood up and said, "Lord Allah, the holy relic was placed in the dark room before. I don't know if it is still there. Let's go and take a look first."

After saying that, he led Matthew towards the dark room he mentioned.

After walking out of the room, the two went straight to the back.

Along the way, everywhere you look, there are ruins.

Some buildings have completely collapsed into ruins.

Occasionally, one could even see some completely black bloodstains on some of the broken walls.

It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place here, but now, only desolation and ruin remained.

There is a heavy sense of oppression inside the Wu family.

The wind blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, caressing their cheeks.

They walked in silence, no one spoke.

"This place must have been cleaned up by someone. There's not even a corpse here."

At this time, Matthew also spoke softly.

"I remember that the Wu family didn't offend any powerful forces back then, and the strength of the forces that have grudges against us are almost the same. It is impossible for them to have the ability to wipe out the entire Wu family." Wu Xi said, shaking his head slightly.

No matter how he guessed, he couldn't figure out what had happened to cause the Wu family to become what it is today.

After a while, the two came to a rockery.

Looking at the rockery that had been mostly cut away, Wu Xi smiled bitterly.

This is the entrance to the dark room. Now that the rockery has been destroyed, the things inside are most likely gone long ago.

Behind the rockery is a circular opening with a staircase inside.

This time, Matthew did not let Wu Xi lead the way, and went straight into the cave.

Seeing this, Wu Xi hurriedly followed.

There was a terrible stench down there.

After Matthew came down, he couldn't help but frown.

He had said before that the outside had been deliberately cleaned up, but he had only just finished speaking.

Now, a mountain of bones was placed in front of him.

After Wu Xi followed in, his legs went weak and he almost couldn't stand.

Not seeing a single dead body outside might give him a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps some of the tribesmen escaped.

But the sight of so many skeletons here instantly extinguished Wu Xi's hope.

With so many bones piled up here, the Wu family's hope of escape is extremely slim.

It is even possible that he is the only one left in the Wu family.
