Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2586 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty Six)

Tie Wandao had come into contact with some alchemists before and had heard similar statements from other alchemists. He roughly guessed what Le Yu meant by "receiving" and felt that what Le Yu said was quite credible.

Tie Wandao thought: According to Li Pingrun's description, that person did appear alone in the basement of Muxi Pavilion. Even if she was the only one who could do this, wouldn't she bring someone with her? When I met her on the road today, she brought someone with her.

Tie Wandao planned to ask Le Yu, but of course he couldn't just say that she went to Muxi Pavilion alone, as that would expose the fact that he had consulted the Taoist priest before.

So, he pretended not to know how many people appeared in the basement of Muxi Pavilion, and asked, "Were those people in the hall outside the room the ones who entered Muxi Pavilion with you?"

"No." Le Yu said, "I went in alone. The Taoist priest told me that I, who was related to my grandfather by blood, had to go to Muxi Pavilion alone."

"You can bring your men to the entrance of Muxi Pavilion, and then go in by yourself?" Tie Wandao said.

"The Taoist priest said that it's okay for others to follow me out of Shengrui Palace, but they cannot appear within three miles of Muxi Pavilion within half an hour before and after I silently recite the spell in the basement of Muxi Pavilion." Le Yu said.

"Oh? Did the Taoist priest tell you why?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes. The Taoist priest said that if those who usually communicate with me also go to that place, it will affect the aura on my body when I recite the spell silently." Le Yu said.

Tie Wandao had consulted some alchemists before and had seen similar things, so when he heard Le Yu say this, he could understand.

"That is to say, if you bring people with you, they will not be able to go any further when they reach three miles away from Muxi Pavilion." Tie Wandao said.

"Yes." Le Yu answered. "Did you bring anyone with you when you left Shengrui Palace?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I brought people." Le Yu said, "They followed me for a while, and then waited for me three miles away from Muxi Pavilion."

"Did you know where the entrance to the basement was before entering Muxi Pavilion?" Tie Wandao asked.

"No." Le Yu said.

"Did the alchemist tell you now?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes, the Taoist priest told me the approximate location. After I entered the Muxi Pavilion, I looked for the place the Taoist priest mentioned and found the entrance to the basement." Le Yu replied.

"What's next?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I went in from that entrance, and then I found a blocked passage. I knew that was the specific place the Taoist priest told me to find." Le Yu said, "I followed the Taoist priest's instructions and used the Palm of the Universe to Connect the World skill on the object blocking the passage, while silently reciting the spell the Taoist priest taught me. After I finished what I needed to do, I left Muxi Pavilion and walked back. When I walked to a place three miles away from Muxi Pavilion, I saw people waiting for me there, and went back to Shengrui Palace with them."

Tie Wandao thought: That's it, it's exactly the same as what Li Pingrun described before. But Le Yueyang doesn't know magic, who cast the spell on Muxi Pavilion? Could it be the Taoist priest who asked Le Yueyang to go there?
Tie Wandao asked, "After you returned, was the Taoist still controlled by the people from Shengrui Palace?"

"Yes." Le Yu said, "Since my grandfather fainted and woke up and fell asleep again, the Taoist priest has been controlled by the people of Shengrui Palace."
