Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2331 Obstacle

So Quan Chumeng stood up and shone the candle around him, but his movements made it look like he was performing a ritual.

He first turned around in place, holding the candle, and turned slower and slower, trying to see more clearly.

He didn't see Nie Huihao's shadow, nor did he hear Nie Huihao's voice, and felt that he could go a little further away.

He thought: Is Elder Nie watching me from the dark right now, but just not saying anything? If so, I still can't let my guard down, I have to be careful with my movements, even if I walk a little further away, I have to act like I'm performing a ritual.

Quan Chumeng walked around the room with a candle in his hand, getting farther and farther away from the place where he had performed the ritual before. Later, he even walked to the wall, and he didn't even notice Nie Huihou.

He thought: Elder Nie is no longer in this underground room? Then he can't see me resting during this period? I don't have to answer his questions? This is pretty good. He didn't see me resting. I will perform the ritual directly later. Elder Nie will probably think I have been performing the ritual continuously. But... where did he go?

Since he didn't know where he went, Quan Chumeng didn't think about it any further, so he went back to the original place and continued his practice.

Although he was really trying his best, he still couldn't make much progress and always felt that something was holding him back.

He didn't know how to break through this obstacle.

He paused for a moment, thinking of changing his method, but he felt that it would be risky. If he used that method, he could not guarantee that he would find out what happened in Muxi Pavilion quickly, or even that he would be able to find out in the end. However, it would be easier for him to be discovered when he was doing it to Muxi Pavilion.

He thought: Since I have been doing it this way for such a long time and it has come to this point, I will stick to it and continue doing it this way.

So he continued to use the previous method.

After a while, there was still not much progress, but he felt very tired, so he took a rest again.

This time when he took a break, he felt something was wrong and thought: Why hasn't Elder Nie come back yet? Why did he leave? Was it because of something or because he was dissatisfied with me? When he was here just now, he was no longer angry. He wouldn't leave because he remembered something he was dissatisfied with me, right? After all, he is an elder, so it shouldn't be like this! Even if he doesn't want to care about so many things, he won't ignore the fact that he wants to continue practicing the Mingzun Jue Lu secret skills, right? He can't do this without me now. No matter how powerful he is, without my help, his power and status will be the same as it is now. Will he be willing? Obviously not! With me, he can have more power and status, and become the future patriarch. This is his goal. It is absolutely impossible for him to give up this goal because of something that is not a big deal! From this point of view, he definitely didn't leave the basement because he remembered something he was dissatisfied with me. Then where did he go without telling me?
He recalled the time when he vaguely heard Nie Huihou's footsteps, and remembered that he was performing a ritual at that time, which could not be interrupted. He thought that maybe Nie Huihou did not tell him because he was worried that interrupting his ritual would have a bad impact.

When he thought of this, he felt better than before. He believed that Nie Huihou would be back soon. He also felt that he would feel more relaxed if he did not perform the ritual in front of Nie Huihou.
