Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2442 (Two Thousand Four Hundred and Forty-Two) Fence

Tie Jinjue thought: Taoist Ni was right. Muxi Pavilion had indeed been protected by the Taoist for twelve hours through magic.

He then asked Ni Yuan: "The passage was opened by the person who used the unusual magic?"

"That's right." Ni Yuan said, "The method used by the person who used the unusual magic to destroy the record is also extremely rare. This person destroyed the record of the basement of the building in an instant from a distance, and then used magic to open the passage at an extremely fast speed and quickly took away the things inside. While doing all this, this person also used magic to set up a 'fence' to protect the practitioner to prevent being discovered. The method he used to set up the fence was also very strange. When this person did those things, no one else would appear within a certain range nearby. Of course, because a lot of energy was used to set up the fence before, it took a long time to recover. Later, when the person left, he was unable to restore the passage to its original state."

Tie Jinjue thought: No wonder the passage was open when we got there.

Tie Jinjue said, "How high is that person's skill level? Could it be higher than that of Taoist Priest Ni?"

Ni Yuan said: "It's hard to compare him with me. It's not that he is better than me when using the same spell as me, but some of the spells he uses are very strange, and some of them are simply incapable of being used by me."

Tie Jinjue said: "Could that person be someone who has not accepted Huanshi and knows magic?"

Ni Yuan said: "I was thinking about this question as well. I certainly don't want it to be that way, but some of that person's actions really seem like those of someone who has never received the Pure Land but knows magic."

Tie Jinjue asked again: "What was the purpose of that person taking those things?"

Ni Yuan said: "I don't understand this either."

Tie Jinjue said: "From what Master Ni said just now, this person had performed magic on the building from a distance before. It was not until the final opening of the passage that he performed magic near and inside the building for the first time?" Tie Jinjue said.

"Yes." Ni Yuan said, "This is really abnormal. This person performed a magic on the building from a distance. Normally, to achieve such an effect, the practitioner must be close to the building. However, this person performed the magic from a distance and achieved the desired effect. This is really incredible."

"How far is it?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"I don't know exactly how far away this person was from the building when he was performing the ritual," Ni Yuan said, "but what is certain is that the place where he performed the ritual was beyond the range where the ritual would normally have an effect on the building."

"What about the approximate direction when this person performed the ritual? We have no idea about that?" Tie Jinjue asked again.

"I really can't know, and the reason why I can't know is also related to the special magic used by this person." Ni Yuan said, "If it was any other alchemist, even if he performed the magic outside the effective range, I would have a way to know the approximate location. But the magic used by this strange magician this time is too unusual. No matter what method I use, I can't know the approximate location of this person when he performed the magic on the building from a distance before."

"Why did this person finally go near the building and perform the ritual inside that time?" Tie Jinjue asked, "Is it because performing the ritual at a distance cannot achieve the purpose he wanted to achieve?"
