Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 871: Terror

Jian Liang said: "Acting Patriarch, do you know why Elder Nie said that just now?"

"Which one?"

"It's what he said, 'an unclear relationship.'" Jian Liang said.

"Who knows why he would say such a thing? It's so inexplicable! But didn't Officer Jian Geng just tell him, 'Don't slander me because of Nie Yangwei'? According to Officer Jian Geng, he must have said that on purpose because of Nie Yangwei's matter, right? Didn't he want to prove that Lan Haoxuan was a blue-armored man before?" Tie Hongyan said.

Jian Liang said: "It was true that he wanted to prove that Lan Haoxuan was a blue-armored man, but what he said in the Regulations and Trials Hall was not because of this."

"Oh?"

"I said that at the time to prevent anything from happening that would be detrimental to the acting clan leader. It was also a hint to Elder Nie not to talk nonsense on that occasion. Fortunately, he didn't continue to say anything bad about the acting clan leader. Otherwise, once others believed what he said, it would have a huge impact on you! Of course, if he had said it, it wouldn't have been good for him at the time. I don't know if he realized this after listening to what I said and didn't say what he shouldn't have said. Of course, he didn't say anything else because Nie Yangwei had just passed away. After all, he was his child." Jian Liang said.

Tie Hongyan felt a little mysterious when listening to Jian Liang's words, and asked, "Even if Elder Nie continued to talk at that time, what else could he say?"

Jian Liang replied: "If he keeps talking, he might tell everyone about the blue-armored man he caught!"

"What does the blue-armored man he captured have to do with me?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Jian Liang suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Acting Patriarch, the blue-armored man he caught looks exactly like the blue-armored man you killed in front of everyone before!" He said the word "personally" very slowly. Tie Hongyan laughed, "Haha, it sounds like a ghost story! Did Elder Nie tell you that they look the same?"

Jian Liang did not laugh, but said seriously: "'Looking alike' is not the only one who said that, Elder Nie!"

"Who else said so? The people around him? Haha! Even if it was the case, I can understand it. Elder Nie said it's the same. Would the people around him tell others that it's actually different?" Tie Hongyan said.

Jian Liang said to Tie Hongyan in a very serious tone: "Acting Chief, this... this is very scary. 'Looking the same' is not something someone deliberately said. That blue-armored man really looks like the person you killed with your own hands!"

Tie Hongyan said: "It obviously sounds funny, why is Officer Jian Geng talking so seriously? Have you seen the man in blue armor?"

"It's because I saw it with my own eyes that I told the Acting Clan Leader so seriously! They really look alike!" Jian Liang said.

"Ah? Could this be true? Just like that man in blue armor?" Tie Hongyan said.

"I don't know if the Acting Clan Leader remembers this one time. The Clan Leader, several elders, and some other people including me were present. Before you killed a group of blue-armored people, one of them spoke rudely to you. You said you would give her special treatment. Later, she became the one who died in the most unusual way among the blue-armored people you killed. Even the Tiecang people who were used to seeing blue-armored people being killed were scared and screamed at the way she died."
