Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1704 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Four)
"I see. I was wondering why she suddenly went to the gray house." Wu Xunsheng said, "What was that sound coming from the gray house?"

Tie Jinjue told Wu Xunsheng through writing that the sound was the painful cry of the tortured blue-armored man.

"Why are they being locked up there and tortured?" Wu Xunsheng asked.

Tie Jinjue wrote something on the paper and told Wu Xunsheng that those blue-armored people were regarded as "human tools" by the clan leader and their mindsets had changed. They used to hide when the clan leader hit them with chains, but recently they would not hide even if the clan leader beat them until they bled. Even when they were beaten by the clan leader and bleeding, they would do whatever the clan leader asked them to do.

Tie Jinjue wrote to let Wu Xunsheng know that the clan leader also said that they are semi-finished products now, and when they become finished products, they will be a group of beasts that can completely obey the clan leader's orders.

Tie Jinjue also wrote to tell Wu Xunsheng that the blue-armored people in the gray house were regarded by the clan leader as important tools for him to destroy the blue-armored tribe in the future. He then wrote some words and told Wu Xunsheng that this was what Tie Hongyan told him, and it was the clan leader who told Tie Hongyan.

Wu Xunsheng said: "Hong Yan really wants to rescue them, right?"

Tie Jinjue wrote to Wu Xunsheng to tell him that she wanted to save him, but she was powerless, which made her very sad.

"Then what can we do to help Hong Yan?" Wu Xunsheng asked.

Tie Jinjue wrote to tell him that no matter what others did now, they could not rescue those people, because once the alchemist started to perform magic on those blue-armored men, he could not stop. If he stopped halfway, the alchemist would die soon, and those blue-armored men would also die soon. Before those blue-armored men could truly become 'finished products', as soon as they left the gray house, they would emit something that would kill other people within a certain range nearby, and then the blue-armored men themselves would die in great pain.

Wu Xunsheng asked: "If we don't rescue them, will they continue to suffer in the gray house?"

Tie Jinjue wrote to let Wu Xunsheng know that this was indeed the case. If they did not endure those tortures, they would not be able to become the "finished product" that the patriarch wanted. However, after becoming the "finished product" and achieving the patriarch's goal, they would also die.

Wu Xunsheng asked: "Is this the reason why Hongyan cried so sadly before?"

Tie Jinjue nodded. Wu Xunsheng asked, "Did the clan leader tell her this when he went to see her today?"

Tie Jinjue nodded again.

"Why tell her this?" Wu Xunsheng asked.

Tie Jinjue wrote to tell Wu Xunsheng that the clan leader should be warning Tie Hongyan not to try to stop him from using the blue-armored people locked in the gray house to destroy the Blue-armored tribe. The clan leader has already determined that Tie Hongyan went out to play yesterday for the gray house and wanted to stop him from using the blue-armored people inside to destroy the Blue-armored tribe.

Wu Xunsheng said: "In other words, the clan leader has already believed that Hong Yan didn't just want to go out for some fresh air and play yesterday?"

Tie Jinjue nodded.

"This is too dangerous!" Wu Xunsheng said, "I heard from the people in the reception hall that the clan leader seemed very angry when he left the inner residence. Could it be because of this?"

Tie Jinjue nodded again.

Wu Xunsheng asked: "Why did the tribe leader believe that the Red Flame was heading for the Gray House and wanted to stop the tribe leader from using the Blue Armored People inside to destroy the Blue Armored Tribe?"

Tie Jinjue wrote to Wu Xunsheng and said that the gray house was usually covered by an invisible curtain, which was formed by the magic of the Taoist priest. The clan leader asked the Taoist priest to perform the magic. Anyone who went to the gray house on purpose and wanted to stop him from using the people trapped inside to achieve his goal would be pushed out when he touched the invisible curtain. And yesterday, Tie Hongyan was indeed pushed out by the invisible curtain.
