Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1796 Knowing

After seeing Hou Jizhuan say this, Tie Wandao immediately looked at the Taoist priests and said, "There is really nothing we can do." He then asked, "What is the curse that Hou Jizhuan cast on you?"

The first Taoist priest who told Tie Wandao that Hou Jizhuan's mistake in performing a ritual that caused problems inside the Gray House said, "To the clan leader, if anyone among us tells someone who has never been inside the Gray House what happened, that person will lose his life the moment he tells it. We know that what happened in the Gray House must not be told to someone who has never been inside the Gray House. I myself will not tell it, and I think other Taoist priests will not tell it either. However, this is a curse that concerns life, and it is really too much to cast the curse without telling others in advance."

Tie Wandao looked at Hou Jizhuan again and asked, "As long as they don't tell anyone about what happened in the Gray House, they won't be in danger because of the curse you cast, right?"

Hou Jizhuan thought: The clan leader asks questions even though he knows the answer, he is really pretending.

However, he had no choice but to cooperate with Tie Wandao and pretend with him, saying: "Yes, Chief. As long as they don't tell anyone, their lives will not be in danger. In fact, I believe they won't tell anyone."

"Is it your turn to say whether you believe it or not?!" said the Taoist priest who first told Tie Wandao that Hou Jizhuan made a mistake in his ritual and caused the problem inside the gray house. "You did such a thing and you still have the nerve to make sarcastic remarks here! Only the clan leader can say such things about belief or not."

Tie Wandao immediately looked at the Taoist priest and said, "This is how Hou Jizhuan is! Now that things have come to this, there is no way to go back to the way they were before the curse was cast on you. Since you said that only I can tell, then I will say now that I believe you will not tell what happened in the Gray House to people who have never been in the Gray House. I hope you are safe, and I believe that you will not be in danger because of the curse he cast. Maybe what I said will make you feel a little better."

The first Taoist priest who told Tie Wandao that Hou Jizhuan's mistake in performing the ritual had caused problems inside the gray house nodded and said, "After hearing what the clan leader said, I do feel better." He then looked at the other Taoist priests around him and asked, "You too, right?"

The other alchemists didn't want to say anything more, but when they heard him ask this directly in front of the clan leader, they naturally had to answer, otherwise it would seem like they were not giving face to the clan leader, so they nodded one after another.

"Yes."

"Me too."

"It really makes me feel much more comfortable to hear these words from the clan leader."

The red-robed Taoist priest hoped to leave a good impression on the clan leader. Although he knew that this didn't seem to mean much, he felt guilty about the previous incident of stopping chanting the spell, so he wanted to act like he could easily please Tie Wandao, hoping that Tie Wandao would not doubt him. So he immediately said, "Yes. I can guarantee that I will not tell anyone who has never been in the Gray House what happened in the Gray House. After hearing the clan leader say that he believes us, I feel better. Some things have come to this, and we really need to think more open-mindedly. Now that I think about it, being cursed doesn't have much impact on someone like me who will not tell anyone about what happened in the Gray House regardless of whether I am cursed or not."

When the red-robed Taoist priest said this, the other Taoist priests still felt that it was too much for Hou Jizhuan to not tell them in advance that they would be cursed after entering the gray house, but no one would say anything in front of Tie Wandao.
