Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1743 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty-Three)

Tie Hongyan thought: That’s just perfect.

"If we don't consider the issue of the clan leader punishing people, what will happen if we don't absorb the Soul Purifying Qi from the people who have it to perform the ritual?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Hou Jizhuan replied: "Even if I am not worried about being punished by the clan leader, if I don't absorb the soul-purifying energy from people who have little soul-purifying energy to perform the ritual, I will definitely find other ways to perform the ritual on the gray house."

"What if there is no cure?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Then..." Hou Jizhu was a little hesitant to say it.

"Just say it straight." Tie Hongyan said.

Hou Jizhuan's heart was beating faster.

"Seven days later, the gray house will explode and some people in Tiecangting will lose their lives." Hou Jizhuan replied.

Tie Hongyan asked: "Who are they?"

Hou Jizhuan said, "It definitely includes myself and those humanoid tools. As for who else, I can't say for sure, but roughly speaking, it's the people from the area south of the gray house."

"What if these people move out quickly?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Because there is a problem with the gray house, it is useless for them to move out now." Hou Jizhuan said, "Those who will die at that time will not be killed by the explosion of the gray house. They will die for other reasons. This is related to the magical power generated by the previous practice. Those who will die at that time are not just those who are in the area south of the gray house at the moment of the gray house explosion. In fact, since the day the gray house was built, everyone who has appeared in the area south of the gray house will lose his life at the moment of the gray house explosion."

"What if we kill those 'human tools'?" Tie Hongyan asked. She asked this deliberately, on the one hand to further understand the situation, and on the other hand to make Hou Jizhuan more firmly believe that this was her attitude towards the blue-armored people.

"Whether those humanoid tools are killed or moved away, as long as the living humanoid tools disappear from the location of the gray house, some people in Tiecangting will lose their lives." Hou Jizhuan said, "After the problem inside the gray house this time, no matter whether there is any action or not, the humanoid tools must not be killed or moved away. If those humanoid tools are no longer in the location of the gray house, at the moment those living humanoid tools leave the location of the gray house, some people in Tiecangting will lose their lives. In addition to my own life, the other people who will lose their lives in this case are roughly people in a part of the area west of the gray house. Regardless of whether those humanoid tools are killed or moved away by ordinary methods or through strange spells or martial arts, as long as those living humanoid tools leave the location of the gray house, many innocent people in Tiecangting will lose their lives."

"In other words, even if we use magic or some other rare methods, we can never let those living 'human-shaped tools' leave the location of the gray house? There is no other way to resolve this?" Tie Hongyan said.

"Yes, Young Clan Leader, there is absolutely no other way to resolve this." Hou Jizhuan said, "As long as those living humanoid tools and the Gray House remain in place, the people in the area west of the Gray House will not lose their lives because the living humanoid tools are no longer there. To be more precise, it means that the people who have appeared in the area west of the Gray House since the day the Gray House was built will not lose their lives."
