Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 4023 (Four Thousand and Twenty-Three) Tone
At this time, the people from Tiecang did not dare to enter the house to collect the bodies, but they would not say that they did not dare. So they used the excuse that they had not found the source of the ghost howling to express to Tie Hongyan that they did not want to go in immediately.

Tie Hongyan then asked, "What if you still can't find where it came from?"

When she said this, she paid attention to the reactions of those people. She felt that someone might say they would continue looking before she even heard what they were saying.

As expected, she heard the man who had held the rope before but later put it away say, "Then... continue looking."

Although that person said so, he and other people from Tiecang present felt that Tie Hongyan would force them to go into the house to collect the bodies.

Regardless of whether she collected the bodies earlier or later, she would definitely let the people from Tiecang collect the bodies, otherwise it would be suspicious. Besides, everyone had heard about how powerful she was. If she tried to collect the bodies in other ways just because the people from Tiecang didn't want to go in, it would be strange. She also thought that she had to act very dignified at this moment, and let them do it regardless of whether they were willing to collect the bodies, so that they would feel normal.

So she said, "Keep looking? Then if we don't find it you won't collect the body? Isn't that disgusting?" When she said this, her tone made people feel that no matter what she said next, they had to do it, otherwise there would be serious consequences.

The person who was holding the rope before and put it away later said, "That's true."

After these words were spoken, no one else dared to say anything else.

Tie Hongyan knew that the sooner she let them "collect the bodies", the sooner she could stop creating illusions, so she gave the order as soon as possible, saying, "Hurry up, go into the house and collect the bodies!"

This time she spoke with such a firm tone that no one dared to disobey.

Those people agreed happily, but compared to being afraid of Tie Hongyan, they were more afraid of the blue-armored corpses inside after hearing the ghost howling, and they were also afraid that the ghost howling was actually related to those blue-armored people. So no one went into the house immediately. After all, at this time, there were still Tiecang people who went to find the ghost howling and had not returned here, and they felt that there was still a reason not to go in immediately. Most people stood still, indicating that they would go to collect the corpses. A few people moved a few steps towards the house, but did not go in. They all secretly hoped that those who had not returned from looking for the source of the ghost howling would not come back immediately. Of course, they were afraid of Tie Hongyan, but these people felt that they did not oppose what Tie Hongyan said, but just temporarily "in order to wait for someone" and did not enter the house. They thought it was a reason, so Tie Hongyan would not punish them too severely, but if they went in immediately and really encountered a ghost, it would not be a question of whether they would be punished or not, but that they would die.

Tie Hongyan asked them seriously why they were so slow in action at this time. Those people expressed that they wanted to wait until everyone gathered before going in together and act together.

Before Tie Hongyan left the house for the second time, the people from Tiecang who had returned here one after another had already discussed secretly that they would try to tell Tie Hongyan that they should wait until the people who went to find the source of the ghost howling came back before entering the house to see if she would agree. At that time, they decided to wait until Tie Hongyan came out, and if she was not furious, they would tell her so.
