章 199: The Case

Wen Leyang picked up a nearby rock and wrote out a few characters: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, sun, moon, stars, and chaos.

He pointed at the words on the ground and said to Gu Xiaojun and the head lama, "In the Gold-Consuming Lair on Mount Qilian, we had unintentionally broken the cloaking spell [1] left behind by Grand Master Tuo Xie and met the Heaven Cone Nail of the water element which the Master had revived. Cone Nail had told me that the Heaven Cone Nails holding down Xiang Liu on Black and White Island were divided into these nine attributes. Every Heaven Cone Nail corresponded to one of the heads of Xiang Liu. Together, using the power of the universe, they shackled down Xiang Liu and kept him bound to Black and White Island eternally."

This knowledge about the Heaven Cone Nails of Black and White Island could not have been known by outsiders. Wen Leyang himself had only learned about the nine attributes out of coincidence.
