Chapter 2607 (Two Thousand Six Hundred and Seven) Saving
“Why does a pentagonal hole appear?” Tie Hongyan asked curiously.

“According to Master Li, the pentagonal hole that appears on a tree that has been struck by lightning is the result of something that cast a spell long ago, not because someone is performing a spell nearby.” Tie Jinjue said, “If we see a pentagonal hole and someone is performing a spell on it, green gas will come out of the pentagonal hole on the tree for quite some time.”

“If the place related to magic is underground, does that prove that changes have occurred there?” Tie Hongyan asked.

“It cannot be directly proved.” Tie Jinjue said, “At that time, the Taoist priest only felt that there were changes underground, and later the Taoist priest performed a ritual to prove that there were indeed changes underground. Taoist priest Li said that it was not easy to see certain situations when he performed the ritual there, but the tree was struck by lightning and a pentagonal hole appeared, which could assist Taoist priest Li in performing the ritual.”

Tie Hongyan asked: “Did he really confirm it through rituals?”

“Yes.” Tie Jinjue said.

Tie Hongyan asked, “Did green gas come out of those pentagonal tree holes when he was performing the ritual?”

“Yes.” Tie Jinjue replied.

“So, that thunderstorm played an important role in revealing the changes that took place underground in that place.” Tie Hongyan said.

“Yes, the thunder and rain forced us to leave. We thought it wasted a lot of our time, but who would have thought that the thunder and rain actually saved us a lot of time.” Tie Jinjue said.

Tie Hongyan asked Tie Jinjue some questions about what happened before and learned about what happened on that day.

When Tie Jinjue said that they met Le Yu by chance on the road, Tie Hongyan was shocked and asked hurriedly, “Where did you meet him?”

After Tie Jinjue told her the location, she asked what happened next.

Tie Jinjue said: “The clan leader asked Le Yueyang and the people who went with her to go to Bakong Palace. The people who went with her were waiting for her in the hall of Bakong Palace. The clan leader, Le Yueyang and I went into a room. The clan leader asked Le Yueyang about some situations, and Le Yueyang told the clan leader.” Tie Hongyan asked about the details, and Tie Jinjue told Tie Hongyan in detail what happened at that time.

Tie Hongyan listened attentively, his heart was on edge the whole time, hoping that he would not hear any news that would be unfavorable to Le Yu.

After Tie Jinjue finished speaking, Tie Hongyan frowned and said, “My father seems to have doubted Le Yu. Although he felt that Le Yu was not the kind of person who would lie to him when he heard her speak and saw the way she spoke, my father would not directly believe what she said. Although he said that Le Yu was a ‘young person’, he was more suspicious of Elder Lian and the alchemist who performed the ritual for Elder Lian, but this does not mean that he thinks Le Yu is completely out of the matter.”

Tie Jinjue said: “Yes, that’s true, so later the clan leader decided to go to Shengrui Palace.”

“When are we going?” Tie Hongyan asked.

“The chief is busy with many things in the tribe. He told me that he will tell me when he goes there.” Tie Jinjue said.

“Will my uncle go too?” Tie Hongyan asked.

“Yes.” Tie Jinjue said.

“Is it my father’s idea?” Tie Hongyan asked.

“It was the clan leader who first proposed it.” Tie Jinjue said, “In fact, I am quite cautious and will not be too enthusiastic about going to Shengrui Palace with the clan leader.”
