Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1781 Interruption

Hou Jizhuan told those alchemists about the ritual. Although they still showed dissatisfaction with him in their eyes, they did not mention other things to him. All they discussed with him were about the ritual.

After a conversation, the alchemists formed a circle and Hou Jizhu stood in the center of the circle.

All the alchemists sat cross-legged with their hands on their knees, palms facing up.

Hou Jizhuan clasped his hands together in front of his chest.

The alchemists closed their eyes and chanted the spell in a low voice. At the same time, Hou Jizhuan also began to chant the spell, and his voice was louder than the voices of all the other alchemists combined. At this stage of the practice, it was necessary for Hou Jizhuan to chant the spell to that loud level.

As soon as the spell started, the blue-armored men in the house all let out sounds of pain.

The voices of those blue-armored men were not loud, but they seemed to go straight into people's hearts, making them feel a strong sense of fear.

Although Hou Jizhuan was used to the terrifying noises made by the blue-armored men, this time, he felt the fear was even more severe than usual.

Those sorcerers who chanted the spells all had a certain degree of fear, because they were suppressing that feeling while performing the ritual.

After a while, a Taoist priest in red suddenly stopped chanting the spell.

From this moment on, the red-robed alchemist no longer felt fear, but the other alchemists, including Hou Jizhuan, felt even more fear from the voices of the blue-armored men than before.

The alchemists just felt more frightened, and because they all had their eyes closed, no one noticed that the alchemist in red had stopped chanting. Because the distance between the alchemists was not small, even the two alchemists closest to the alchemist in red did not notice that he had suddenly stopped chanting by listening to the sound.

Hou Jizhuan felt something was wrong, and looked around to see what was wrong. He found that the red-robed Taoist priest was not chanting a spell at that moment and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. As long as one person stopped chanting the spell, they would not be able to use magic to solve the problem of the gray house, so Hou Jizhuan also stopped chanting the spell.

The moment Hou Jizhuan stopped chanting the spell, the blue-armored men stopped making painful sounds, and the alchemists no longer felt fear.

The alchemists knew that the ritual had been interrupted and opened their eyes one after another.

Hou Jizhuan discovered that the looks those alchemists gave him were filled with not only confusion but also disgust.

The first Taoist priest who told Tie Wandao that Hou Jizhuan's mistake in performing the ritual caused the problem inside the gray house stood up, approached Hou Jizhuan, and said, "Master Hou, we have been chanting the spell for a while. What do you mean by suddenly stopping?"

Tie Wandao saw that the first Taoist priest who told him that Hou Jizhuan had made a mistake in his ritual and caused problems inside the gray house actually walked up to Hou Jizhuan and started talking to him. He realized that the ritual seemed to be interrupted, so he also walked towards Hou Jizhuan.

Hou Jizhuan said: "I wasn't the first one to stop."

"Who is that?" asked the Taoist priest.

Hou Jizhuan pointed at the Taoist priest in red and said, "It's him."

Those alchemists all turned their eyes to the alchemist in red.

The red-robed Taoist priest found Tie Wandao approaching him. He wondered what Tie Wandao would do to him if he knew that the ritual was interrupted because of him. So he wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Ah? Why do you say it's me? It's not me!"
