Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1780 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty)

"Please don't let the conflict between us and Hou Fangshi affect the clan leader's affairs."

"The clan leader can let it go temporarily, so we have to do the same."

"Let's put aside the grudge between us and Master Hou for now. The method is more important."

"Yes, let's do the ritual with Master Hou first."

"Well, let's put this aside for now."

"Let's do it now."

Those alchemists were talking to each other.

Tie Wandao asked, "Is there anyone among you who disagrees with immediately working with Hou Jizhuan to solve the problem of the gray house? If so, please stand up now."

None of those alchemists stood up.

Tie Wandao said, "In that case, after I finish talking to Hou Jizhuan, I will go sit over there and wait for you to perform the ritual."

After Tie Wandao said this to the Taoist priests, he looked at Hou Jizhuan and said, "They have agreed to perform the ritual immediately. Although you deceived me, made me lose face, and made me angry, I can put those aside for the sake of the overall situation. I will not punish you and let you perform the ritual first. Will you perform the ritual honestly in a while?"

Hou Jizhuan felt that it was important to keep himself safe first. He also knew that Tie Wandao and the other alchemists were not happy with him at the moment. The situation was very unfavorable to him. He had no other better choice except to perform the ritual first, so he nodded. Tie Wandao said to Hou Jizhuan, "I will sit over there and wait for you to perform the ritual. You can talk now, but remember not to talk nonsense and deceive others. Do you understand?"

Hou Jizhu still didn't dare to speak and nodded again.

"All of you, don't let emotional problems affect your actions. Just do what you should do. What I want is a problem-free result." Tie Wandao said, "Let's start!" After that, he walked towards the chair where he had sat before.

Hou Jizhuan watched Tie Wandao walk away, and his previous fear temporarily dissipated. He forced himself to bury his anger, and his hands stopped shaking. However, looking at the alchemists in front of him who were dissatisfied with him, Hou Jizhuan's heart was still uneasy.

He could finally talk to those alchemists. He hoped they knew that they had misunderstood him. He hoped they understood that the clan leader really didn't let him tell them in advance because he would be cursed. However, he knew that even if he told the truth to those alchemists, they would not believe it.

Hou Jizhuan was right at this time. Indeed, even if he explained, those alchemists would not believe him.

From the beginning, those alchemists thought that it was Hou Jizhuan himself who refused to tell them in advance that they would be cursed. This idea was the first to enter their minds. Hou Jizhuan later hinted to them that he did not tell them that they would be cursed because of the clan leader's intention. At this time, it was not so easy for those alchemists to change their previous impression. Later, Tie Wandao said that Hou Jizhuan had tricked him, and those alchemists were even less likely to believe Hou Jizhuan's words.

At this moment, if Hou Jizhuan explained to those Taoist priests as soon as he could speak, not only would they not believe him, but he would also put himself in greater danger. If any Taoist priest suddenly told Tie Wandao that Hou Jizhuan was still pushing the blame on Tie Wandao, Hou Jizhuan would definitely be in trouble.

Although Hou Jizhuan's mind was not very clear at this time, he still controlled himself when he wanted to explain to the alchemists and did not mention what happened before to them.
