Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1610

Shannon's instincts told her that Reuben was up to no good. But then again, he'd never seemed like someone with good intentions from the moment she met him.

Though she had no idea what he had up his sleeves, she was already here and might as well go along with him.

Following Reuben's instructions, she carefully summoned a wisp of supernatural power and guided it to the bell on the tree.

Ding… Ding…

The bell kept ringing. Shannon glanced at Reuben, and seeing no reaction, she decided to send another wisp.

Then as if she'd used slightly more force, a white and red wisp of supernatural power simultaneously entered the bell.

In that instant, the bell on the tree finally fell silent.

Just as Shannon thought it'd worked, the bell that'd fallen silent began shaking violently as if it were sending a signal. Almost instantly, half the bells on the entire Soul Tree started ringing in unison.

Ding! Ding!

The sheer volume of thousands of bells erupting at once left Shannon stunned on the spot. Even Reuben looked visibly startled.

As all bells on the tree rang incessantly, every fox clan member whose soul bell was connected felt their hearts tremble. Instinctively, they all turned in the direction of the Soul Tree.

Reuben didn't let the chaos last for long. Once the bells erupted, he swiftly raised a hand and channeled a wisp of his supernatural power into the Soul Tree.

At last, the Soul Tree fell silent again.

Shannon had no idea what had just happened. She could only turn to Reuben for answers.

The latter remained silent for a moment with an unreadable expression. That was when a tender leaf fluttered down from the branch near Shannon's soul bell.

Its pale yellow-green hue wasn't like a leaf that'd naturally fallen. Instead, it seemed some unseen force had guided it down on purpose and sent it floating down before her.
