Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 393 Silver Ring

Chapter 76

Before that, just after the Guishi monster first attacked the Tiecang tribe and won against Hunju, some Guishi monsters attached to people from the Xinong, Luanxu, and Gujie tribes would use magic to sneak into the Tiecang tribe territories outside Hunju, and burn, kill, and loot civilians' homes. During that period, civilians would always die mysteriously. Among those killed by the Guishi monster were not only Tiecang people, but also the Lanjia people who worked for Tiecang people.

Some Guishi monsters even tried to use magic to directly enter the Iron Cang Court, but they were unable to get in. Not only that, all the Guishi monsters that tried to force their way into the Iron Cang Court naturally separated from their human bodies and died immediately. Since then, no Guishi monsters have tried to directly enter the Iron Cang Court.

When Tie Jinjue personally and carefully observed the bodies of people who were destroyed by the Guishi monster who broke into the Tiecang Court, he found that the necks of these severely injured people were faintly covered with a circle of silver halo. The halo was looming and difficult to notice if you didn't look closely. If you look closely, you can see that the silver halo is the light emitted by a silver ring. The silver ring looks the same as the silver demon-suppressing ring that has been embedded in the ground in the center of the Tiecang Court for many years. Tie Jinjue later determined that the reason why the Guishi monster would be destroyed as soon as it broke into the Tiecang Court was because the demon-suppressing ring embedded in the ground in the center of the Tiecang Court played a role.

Many people in Tiecang Court know that the Demon-Suppressing Ring can ensure that the entire Tiecang Court will not be disturbed by demons, but it can only suppress demons and has no effect on suppressing ghosts. Therefore, despite the Demon-Suppressing Ring, some people in Tiecang Court still avoid going to places like Muxi Pavilion that are said to be haunted.

Although the demon-suppressing ring was embedded in the ground of Tiecangting, no one had been able to remove it for many years. Although someone had tried to steal it, the ground where the demon-suppressing ring was located was unusually hard, and the demon-suppressing ring was embedded in the ground very tightly, so it was impossible for ordinary people to take it off no matter what method they used.

The demon-suppressing ring can only protect people in Tiecang Court from being disturbed by demons, but it cannot protect people outside Tiecang Court. Tie Jinjue went out alone for this purpose, hoping to protect the civilians in his own way. He took out another silver ring that looked exactly like the silver ring on the ground in Tiecang Court, and tried to embed it in the ground somewhere else to protect the civilians, but he could not embed it firmly in the ground no matter what. Every time it was embedded, the silver ring would pop out automatically. Just when the silver ring was embedded but not yet popped out, news came from nearby that civilians were harmed by the Guishi demon. Tie Jinjue knew that embedding the silver ring in this way was ineffective to protect the civilians, but at the same time he also knew that the silver ring was definitely not an ordinary silver utensil, otherwise it would not pop out automatically after being embedded in the ground.

No one except Qin Ding knew the origin of the silver ring. Many years ago, when Fei Cunyi and Fang Piaolan were avoiding being hunted down, the scaly beast was poisoned and turned into a handsome man. Before he disappeared into mist, he threw the silver bracelet on his left wrist into the sky, but the silver ring fell to the ground and was covered with dust. The men under Tie Wandao who were present at the time were badly injured and no one noticed the silver ring. No one except Qin Ding noticed the silver ring when they came to rescue people. At that time, only Qin Ding picked up the silver ring because he felt it looked familiar and handed it over to Tie Jinjue. After that, even Qin Ding himself did not pay attention to the silver ring anymore.
