After a week, the surrounding around Sacrificial Tree has changed dramatically.
Last week, even with the army camp all around the area, the Sacrificial Tree was left isolated. As per the Crown Princess order, the others did not get close to the tree. The soldiers camped around to stop anyone from getting too close or damaging the tree.
But as Princess Lingchen stepped out of the carriage, the surrounding has become livelier. It was as if there was a festivity going on around the tree. The tree was decorated with some paper talisman. A temporary place to live was built not far away from the tree.
A few members of the Nanlin Tribe had come to join the ritual, and the Yang and a few Jiang's family members had stayed to keep Yang Yun's company. Even the Princess' grandfather, Han Zhenting, had traveled from the capital to witness Chief Ye and the others open up the portal.
