Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2146 (Two Thousand One Hundred and Forty Six) Sufficient

"Clan leader!" Li Pingrun shouted while standing in place, his voice not loud.

No one answered.

Li Pingrun walked forward a few steps and shouted, "Chief!" his voice became louder.

Still no one answered.

He thought: Should I go out to look for the chieftain, or wait for him here? Or should I wait here? If I go out to look for him and he comes back and finds that I am not in Muxi Pavilion, I will be punished. But... where did the chieftain go?
He walked to the door of Muxi Pavilion and looked out. It was sunny outside, but there was still no sign of Tie Wandao.

He looked around the first floor of Muxi Pavilion again and thought: I might as well wait for him near the inner door of Muxi Pavilion.

After Li Pingrun extinguished the candle in his hand, he stood near the door, holding the candle which had not yet completely solidified, waiting for Tie Wandao.

After a while, Tie Wandao arrived outside the door of Muxi Pavilion.

With the help of sunlight, Li Pingrun discovered that there was dried blood on Tie Wandao's hands. He was curious but did not dare to ask immediately.

Tie Wandao did not enter Muxi Pavilion immediately, but said to Li Pingrun: "Come out."

"Yes." Li Pingrun said.

As Tie Wandao walked towards a sunny spot, he said to Li Pingrun, "Come over here and bask in the sun. You've been in Muxi Pavilion for so long."

Li Pingrun felt it was a bit strange, but knew it was not the right time to ask more questions, so he just said to Tie Wandao: "Thank you for your concern, Chief!"

After they reached a sunny spot, Tie Wandao said, "Tell me about the test results. Is Gong Hunyu really on it?"

Li Pingrun said: "Indeed there is Gong Hunyu."

"Did Gong Hunyu really experience dislocation?" Tie Wandao asked. "Yes," Li Pingrun replied, "I learned through my practice that Gong Hunyu experienced dislocation within seven days."

"How many times has this happened? Have you measured it?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Well... I'm sorry, I can't measure the number of times." Li Pingrun said.

"Are things the same as you guessed before?" Tie Wandao continued to ask.

"Same." Li Pingrun said, "I further confirmed through my ritual that the ground beneath the Soul-Consolidating Talisman over there is indeed buried with the remains of the person who committed suicide."

Tie Wandao said: "Then do you know who performed the ritual on Gong Hunyu?"

"Sorry, clan leader, I can't figure that out." Li Pingrun replied, "I can only be sure that someone has performed a ritual on Gong Hunyu, and it happened recently."

"In that case, you have no idea why others cast a spell on the Gong Hun Talisman?" Tie Wandao continued to ask.

"That's right." Li Pingrun said, "I can now be sure that not only I can't know, but anyone who has been through the cycle of life can't know either."

Tie Wandao said: "I asked other Taoist priests to tell me why they cast a spell on the Soul-Gathering Talisman, but they couldn't figure it out."

"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "The Taoist priests who have received the Huanshi will be restricted. Judging from Gong Hunyu's current situation, people who have received the Huanshi will definitely not be able to figure out the reason why others are performing magic on Gong Hunyu, no matter what method they use."

Tie Wandao said: "Your magic just now definitely didn't affect Gong Hunyu, right?" He knew that Li Pingrun would not be affected, but the uneasiness in his heart still made him ask.

Li Pingrun said, "Please rest assured, clan leader, there is absolutely no impact. I did not perform any ritual on Gong Hunyu, I just performed a test on the top floor. You see, I am alive and well now. If I had affected Gong Hunyu, I would have died there long ago."
