Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1672 (One Thousand Six Hundred and Seventy-Two) Torture

Tie Hongyan asked: "The Taoist priest can change the minds of those blue-armored men. His skills are so high, but he still can't take revenge?"

Tie Wandao said, "Originally, it was possible. He initially learned magic for revenge, and all the magic he learned were vicious, and he almost lost his life several times for practicing magic. The last time he almost died practicing magic, after being rescued, he could no longer use the several magics he wanted to use on his enemy at the same time. He decided to use only one magic on his enemy, but his enemy had hired several alchemists for a long time, and one of them was his fellow senior brother. If he used magic alone, it would definitely be secretly cracked by that senior brother. Only people from their own sect could crack that magic, and other alchemists could not crack it at all, so he was sure that it was done by that senior brother. If he used several magics at the same time, it would not be easy for his senior brother to secretly crack it, but he could no longer use them at the same time. He and that senior brother had some grudges for a long time, and he didn't find any other way, so he had never been able to take revenge."

"Dad said that the Taoist priest nearly lost his life several times while practicing magic. So could there be something wrong with his magic? Won't those 'beasts' that serve as tools turn around and hurt us 'people'?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Of course not!" Tie Wandao said, "Do you really hope that those 'beasts' will not obey you?"

"Why would I hope so?" Tie Hongyan said, "I'm just worried about the safety."

Tie Wandao sneered and said, "Really? I tell you, once the alchemist starts to perform a ritual on those blue-armored men, he can't take it back! If he stops halfway, the alchemist will die soon, and those blue-armored men will die soon too. The blue-armored men whose minds have changed will never be able to return to their previous state. Those blue-armored men will be tortured constantly in the days ahead. Without that torture, they will not be able to become the tools I want, the 'finished products'. The sounds coming from the gray house are the ones made by the tools because of pain. Recently, I have asked the alchemist to control the sounds of those tools. Although the alchemist's skills in this regard are limited, those tools are no longer screaming as frequently as before, but the pain they suffer is no less than before. It won't be long before they won't make that kind of sound anymore, and by then, even if they are in pain, no one will hear their screams. Those blue-armored men will die after they finish what I ask them to do. They are tools, disposable tools at that. Before they really become 'finished products', as soon as they leave the gray house, they will emit something that will kill other people within a certain range nearby. Of course, they will also die in great pain afterwards."

"Did the Taoist priest tell Dad all this?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes." Tie Wandao said.

Tie Hongyan asked: "It seems that Dad trusts that Taoist priest very much."

Tie Wandao said: "Yes, not only did I believe him, I also believed in you."

"Once?" Tie Hongyan said.

"Yes, I once thought you wouldn't go against me." Tie Wandao said, "I have told you all this, you already know it very well, don't think of stopping me, if you stop me, it will only cause more people to die. I let you know some things about the Taoist priest, but don't think that you can change anything by talking to the Taoist priest in the future. It's useless to tell the Taoist priest the other reason why I killed his enemy's family. If he stops doing this, he will die soon. Otherwise, he can live a little longer."
