Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1774 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventy Four) Knowing

After a Taoist priest said that he would ask the clan leader, Hou Jizhuan became even more panicked. He knew that Tie Wandao had already sat there, waiting for them to perform the ritual. If what he waited for was not the result of the ritual but the Taoist priests came to ask him about the curse, then Tie Wandao would probably get angry suddenly, which made Hou Jizhuan so panicked that he could not think about things seriously. He hoped that these Taoist priests would stop pursuing the fact that he did not tell them before he cast the curse on them, so he said: "Actually...actually, things have already come to this. Even if you know whether it is..." At this point, Hou Jizhuan once again glanced at Tie Wandao without turning his head, and continued: "It's meaningless! Even if you know that he didn't let me tell you, what can you do to him?"

Those alchemists were already dissatisfied because someone cursed them without informing them in advance, and they became even angrier when they heard Hou Jizhuan say this.

"You did such a thing, and you're so confident! If you killed someone and someone found you, could you tell them, 'The person is already dead, there's no point in looking for me'?" The Taoist priest who had asked Hou Jizhuan why he didn't tell them that they would be cursed when they came in said, "Do you think that if you did something wrong and caused consequences, you're fine? You don't have to bear any responsibility?"

Hou Jizhuan said: "That's not the case. It's just that if you ask... it won't do you any good."

Another Taoist priest said angrily, "You didn't let us know in advance. You did something wrong, and now you are threatening us?"

"It's not a threat." Hou Jizhuan said in a panic, "I'm just telling the truth. If this happened to any of you, what would you do? We are all sorcerers, so you can understand it if you put yourself in his shoes. You told him that you were going to cast a curse on someone, but he didn't let you. Do you dare to say it?"

A Taoist priest said, "You dare not say it, but you dare to cast a curse on someone's life without their knowledge, right?"

Before Hou Jizhuan could say anything, Tie Wandao came over.

"Is this the way you do it?" Tie Wandao asked, "Just standing here?"

"Chief, we haven't started the ritual yet." said a Taoist priest.

"It's been so long, and you haven't even started yet?!" Tie Wandao said. He glared at Hou Jizhuan with cold eyes and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Hou Jizhuan was so frightened that he replied, "Chief... Chief, I... I am waiting to perform... a ritual with them."

"What are you waiting for? Can't you perform the ritual quickly? Didn't you make everything clear just now? Is there anything else you need to say?" Tie Wandao said.

Hou Jizhuan was really worried that the Taoist priests would say something right away, and hoped that Tie Wandao would quickly return to where he was sitting before, so he said, "No... no need to wait. There is nothing to say. Let's just... do the ritual right away!"

The other alchemists were very dissatisfied, but most of them did not dare to ask Tie Wandao anything after seeing his scary eyes. Only one alchemist said to Tie Wandao: "Chief, we were cursed from the moment we entered this gray house, but we did not know it before we were cursed. We think that as an alchemist, Hou should have let us know that we would be cursed before we came in."
