Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2657 (Two Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Seven)

In fact, Tie Wandao had no intention of forcing Li Pingrun to perform magic at first, but after hearing what he said, he felt that if he did not force him to perform magic on the copper square plate, it would seem that he would lose face. Although there were only two people here, he and Li Pingrun, he still wanted to feel that he had face. He knew that the risk was borne by Li Pingrun, and even if something went wrong, the consequence would only be the loss of Li Pingrun's power, so that Li Pingrun would no longer be able to use that kind of magic. He thought it was no big deal.

Li Pingrun looked into Tie Wandao's eyes and felt that not taking the risk would be more dangerous for him because he didn't know what Tie Wandao would do.

So he said to Tie Wandao: "What the young patriarch asked me to do is an important matter, and I will do it now."

Li Pingrun was worried that after doing this, Tie Wandao would ask him to perform a ritual in the underground space again. So he said to Tie Wandao, "Chief, I am performing this ritual in the underground space. The risk is not that big. But if something goes wrong, it will cost the lives of people here. I believe that the chief will not let me do that kind of thing in the underground space, right?"

Tie Wandao said: "I am the clan leader, I know how to do things. Do you think I need you to tell me that I can't let you do that?"

Tie Wandao said this not because he valued human life, but because there were only two people in this underground space. Li Pingrun said that he would kill people here, so he knew that the one in danger was either himself, Li Pingrun, or both of them. Although he didn't care so much about other people's lives, he certainly wouldn't let himself die here. As for Li Pingrun, he knew very well that if Li Pingrun lost his life here, no one would do the magic, and if no one did the magic, he wouldn't know how to leave this underground space.

Li Pingrun felt a little relieved after hearing this, but he didn't know whether Tie Wandao would change his mind at that time, so he quickly said: "The clan leader has always been sensible in doing things. There is no need for me to say that kind of thing. I just mentioned it casually just now. I will perform a ritual on the copper square plate according to the clan leader's instructions."

"Do you have any requests?" Tie Wandao asked, "Do I need to stay away from you when you perform the ritual? Do I have to stay away from you? Do I have to stay silent?"

Being in this underground space, Tie Wandao naturally knew that it would be difficult to deal with if something went wrong, so he took the initiative to ask.

Li Pingrun said, "The clan leader doesn't need to stay away from me or keep quiet. Just don't talk to me." Tie Wandao said, "The ritual won't take long, right?"

"Not too long." Li Pingrun replied.

"Let's start." Tie Wandao said.

"Yes, Patriarch." Li Pingrun said.

After saying that, Li Pingrun sat cross-legged on the spot, pushed his hands in the direction of the copper square plate, and chanted a spell.

Tie Wandao felt very uncomfortable when thinking about the dead face of Tie Jinqi that he had seen on the copper square plate before. He didn't want to continue looking, so he turned around and faced the copper square plate.

He looked at the ground that was glowing white, then looked around and felt that the soil on the ground looked like it had been pushed over there by someone.

He walked towards the place where the soil was piled, stepped on it a few times with his feet, and didn't feel anything unusual.
