Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1220 (One Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty) End
After the thunderbolt sounded, all the candles in the room where Tie Wandao was were extinguished in a short time. These candles were extinguished at the beginning of the second stage of the process of Rao Yanqiao using the Candle Carrying Technique.

When Tie Wandao said to Tie Jinqi's spirit tablet, "I think you can understand me!", he used a fire stick to light one of the candles in front of the spirit tablet, but it didn't light up. Then he tried to light another candle in front of the spirit tablet, but it also didn't light up. In fact, this was only because the candle whose energy had been sucked away needed a while to be lit again.

Later, after Tie Wandao said, "It can't really be related to you, right?", a series of thunderclaps were heard outside. He tried to light one of the candles in front of the spirit tablet again, and this time it finally lit up. However, the candle went out instantly. The reason for this was that when the candle was lit again, Rao Yanqiao's use of the candle carrying technique had not yet ended, and it was at the end of the seventh stage. The energy of the candle that had just been lit by Tie Wandao was once again absorbed by the seven red candles.

Rao Yan skillfully used the candle-carrying technique to allow the seven red candles to absorb the energy of the candles within a certain range around them. Not only could they absorb it once, but as long as the stage of his practice was not over, the energy of the candles that were lit again would still be absorbed by the seven red candles.

If Tie Wandao had lit the candle a little later, he would not have caught up with the end of the seventh stage of Rao Yanqiao's candle-carrying technique, and the candle he lit would not have gone out again.

Tie Wandao felt strange. He thought that although it was raining outside, the room would not suddenly become so damp that the extinguished candles could not be relit. At this time, he thought about the appearance of the previous candles when they were extinguished, and then thought about the appearance of the candle that had just been lit. It felt different from the appearance of ordinary candles when they were extinguished. This was not an illusion that Tie Wandao had in front of Tie Jinqi's spirit tablet. In fact, the candles in his room were indeed extinguished differently from the appearance of ordinary candles because the energy was sucked away by the seven red candles. Tie Wandao just discovered this. However, because he didn't know why it was like this, Tie Wandao felt it was weird. He wanted to try if he said to Jinqi's spirit tablet that he shouldn't hurt Hongyan, would the candles not go out immediately after being lit.

So, he tried to light a candle in front of the spirit tablet again, and while lighting it he said against his will: "I shouldn't have hurt Hong Yan." The candle he lit did not go out immediately. This was simply because the seventh stage of the process in the basement room where Rao Yanqiao used magic to make the seven red candles absorb the energy of other candles had already ended. The candles in the room where Tie Wandao was would no longer be affected by Rao Yanqiao's magic.

Tie Wandao tried to light another candle in front of the memorial tablet, but that candle did not go out after it was lit, and the reason was the same.

However, although it is normal for a candle not to go out immediately after being lit, Tie Wandao felt uneasy when he thought of the previous incidents related to thunderstorms and candles. He did not think it was a coincidence, but he comforted himself that the previous strange things were just coincidences. When comforting himself, he knew that some situations could really be explained by "coincidence", but he himself did not know what "coincidence" should be explained by the strange way the candle went out.
