Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1744 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty Four) Explosion

Tie Hongyan originally only asked what would happen if those "human-shaped tools" were killed, and did not mention the transfer. It was Hou Jizhuan who mentioned what would happen if those "human-shaped tools" were transferred when answering her question. This allowed her to understand from Hou Jizhuan's words the situation that she was eager to know but had not yet figured out how to ask. She heard it very clearly, it was impossible for her to transfer those blue-armored people. Before, she wanted to save the blue-armored people in the gray house but was powerless, and there was no problem with the gray house at that time. After learning that there was a problem with the gray house, she wondered if the change in the situation in the gray house would give her the opportunity to secretly save the blue-armored people inside, but at this time she got the answer-she still couldn't save those blue-armored people.

Although Tie Hongyan felt sorry and uncomfortable after hearing the news, she did not show it. She had experienced the despair of wanting to save but being unable to do so before. Now that she knew that there was a problem with the gray house, she still could not save those blue-armored people. Although she was sad, it was easier to suppress than before.

She comforted herself: Although it is certain that the blue-armored people cannot be transferred away, this may not be the worst. After all, Dad already had an opinion of me before. If the blue-armored people in the gray house suddenly disappeared at this time, Dad would definitely think that I did it, and then everything would be over. So, looking at this matter from a certain perspective, my inability to save those blue-armored people has prevented me from making a big mistake. After all, I will become the patriarch in the future and change the environment that is unfavorable to the blue-armored people. Although life is precious, I also have to look at the long term. Don't regard this kind of failure to save people as the worst situation. I have to pay attention to the overall situation and make myself feel better.

Hou Jizhuan continued, "So, killing or moving those humanoid tools away is definitely out of the question. What we can do now is to ensure that the gray house does not explode in seven days, and that people who have appeared in the area south of the gray house will not lose their lives at that time."

"If no ritual is performed, there is no other way to solve the problem of the gray house exploding in seven days, right?" Tie Hongyan asked, wanting to know if there were any other possibilities.

"Yes, we can only perform a ritual, it just depends on what method we use." Hou Jizhuan said, "The young clan leader happens to have the Soul Purifying Qi. If the young clan leader is willing to help and let the alchemists use a ritual to absorb the Soul Purifying Qi, then I don't need to think of other methods to solve the problem of the gray house exploding in seven days."

Tie Hongyan thought: There is no need to think too much about this kind of thing. Of course I am willing to let them absorb my soul-purifying energy through magic. I was not a person with soul-purifying energy in the first place. I turned myself into a person with soul-purifying energy just to change my father's mind and eliminate certain dangers. Unexpectedly, after becoming a person with soul-purifying energy, I encountered this kind of thing again. After they absorb the soul-purifying energy from me, the situation inside the gray house will change. At that time, the gray house will not explode, and the people who appeared in a part of the area south of the gray house will not lose their lives at that moment. When I agree to this matter in front of my father, I still need to give a reason that my father can understand. It is best to prompt my father to completely change his previous opinion of me, so that he will not become suspicious of me in the next period of time because of the gray house.
