Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Since things had come to this point, Blood Demon no longer concealed anything and said, "Besides Dream Grass, there is another thing here, which is the beast crystal of the Hooked Illusion Beast. We also discovered by chance that the combination of the Hooked Illusion Beast's beast crystal and the Soul-Hooking Grass would turn people into puppets who only obey the control of the flute."

"However, I tried many times without success. I read in the book that the beast crystal of the Hooked Illusion Beast is highly poisonous, so I increased the dosage of Dream Grass, but it still didn't work. So I thought of eliminating some of the toxins in their bodies. There is no antidote for combining these two things. At most, it can only eliminate some of the toxins in their bodies and achieve the final result I want. If we are too weak, the living dead will only die!"

"So you knew from the beginning that you didn't want me to detoxify him, but rather to help you eliminate some of the toxins in his body so that you could become a true living dead, a puppet?"

Xu Yao sneered, realizing for the first time how foolish he had been.

He may be afraid of death, but if the Blood Demon Hall uses this thing against righteous people, it would be a disaster for them.

And all of this was caused by him.

He couldn't be that selfish!

Blood Demon nodded, directly acknowledging what Xu Yao had said.

Before he could say anything more, Xu Yao charged forward. Cheng Feng tried to stop him, but Xu Yao knocked him to the ground with a single palm strike. Xu Yao then charged at Su Xun, and Blood Demon, worried that something might happen to the living dead, shielded him with his body.

The Blood Demon coughed up a mouthful of blood after being struck hard in the chest.

He knew Xu Yao was no ordinary person, but he didn't expect Xu Yao to be so strong that he could even injure him.

The Blood Demon Hall members all surrounded Xu Yao.

The stench of blood filled the air. Su Xun slightly turned his neck and heard a 'click-click' sound. Then he charged straight at the Blood Demon Hall members, like a heartless killing machine, only knowing how to kill.

Chengfeng glanced at Xu Yao, then at Su Xun, and charged towards Su Xun.

The two began to compete.

The two had fought before, when Su Xun's strength was still below Cheng Feng's. But now Cheng Feng could clearly feel that Xu Yao's strength had improved, making him feel powerless.

As Xu Yao watched Su Xun wreak havoc in the Blood Demon Hall, a bloodthirsty smile crept across his lips.

"Kill them! You want to create living dead, right? Then kill them!"

Blood Demon glanced at Xu Yao, then leaped behind Su Xun and struck Su Xun's neck with a loud 'bang,' but Su Xun seemed to feel no pain.

The Blood Demon's attacks were completely ineffective against him.

Seeing this scene, the Blood Demon frowned, reached out and took out his flute, and began to play a tune.

Upon hearing the flute music, Xu Yao slowed down and was kicked to the ground by Cheng Feng.

Su Xun stood up and, as if receiving some command, walked towards the Blood Demon, stopping beside it.

Blood Demon turned to look at Xu Yao and said coldly, "Don't forget, you are now an alchemist of Blood Demon Hall. I'm being lenient with you because I'm giving you face, but don't go too far, understand?"

"An alchemist from the Blood Demon Hall?"

Xu Yao gave a mocking laugh.

"Yes, it's just a tool for you to create living dead, Blood Demon. You better make sure you keep an eye on me, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.

Blood Demon glanced at Xu Yao's room door, then turned to Cheng Feng and said coldly, "Clean this place up. Also, keep a close watch on him. No matter what happens, don't let him out!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the demon turned and left.

Chengfeng looked at the doorway of Xu Yao's room with a complicated expression on his face.

He didn't understand why Xu Yao was so agitated. It was just a living dead, what was the big deal?

They were now all members of the Blood Demon Hall, and obeying the Blood Demon's orders was their duty. He didn't understand, and he couldn't comprehend...

After returning to his room, Xu Yao sat down and looked down at his hands.

He was absolutely certain that he hadn't misjudged the situation; today, he had sent Chengfeng flying with a single palm strike, and even the Blood Demon had been injured by him.

If the previous events were coincidences, what about now?

So, this is his cultivation level?

Furthermore, what exactly does the Blood Demon Hall intend to do by creating these living dead? Is it to deal with the righteous path, or to deal with others?

If he leaves at this time, the Blood Demon will probably look for someone else, and Chengfeng knows what's going on.

Xu Yao pondered for a moment, his face full of frustration.

How could he be so impulsive?

Xu Yao raised his hand to his chin, thinking of a way to make amends. It's just a matter of admitting defeat, he'll admit defeat!

If things continue like this, the problem of the living dead won't be solved, and he might even die. No matter how you look at it, it's not worth it.

……

the next day.

Xu Yao came out, his eyes still covered in dark circles.

He walked directly towards Chengfeng, looked at him coldly, and said, "I want to see your hall master."

Upon hearing this, Chengfeng looked at Xu Yao warily, fearing that Xu Yao might do something.

Seeing Chengfeng's state, Xu Yao said irritably, "What can I do with such little cultivation? Quickly take me to see your hall master, or have your hall master come to see me."

Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left.

Knowing Chengfeng's temperament, Xu Yao stopped making a fuss and went back to his room to wait.

Soon, the Blood Demon walked in. Upon seeing the Blood Demon, Xu Yao frowned, adjusted his expression, and looked at the Blood Demon with slight dissatisfaction.

Having just offended the Blood Demon yesterday, if I were to try to appease him today, no one would believe me.

Looking at Xu Yao's expression, Blood Demon said coldly, "What, you want me to come here so you can fight me?"

"no!"

Xu Yao walked over and sat down next to the Blood Demon, saying coldly, "I can help you improve the strength of the undead, and I can also help you awaken other undead, but you have to agree to two conditions."

Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon raised an eyebrow, his face showing a mixture of surprise and wariness.

The current Xu Yao is not the same Xu Yao who first came to the Blood Demon Hall. Even he can't figure out what Xu Yao is thinking.

Yesterday he tested Su Xun's strength and only managed to awaken him. If he were to further enhance their strength, wouldn't they become even more powerful?

This is a huge temptation for the Blood Demon.

However, wasn't Xu Yao unwilling yesterday?

The Blood Demon looked at Xu Yao warily and asked, "What do you want?"

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Xu Yao didn't waste any time and said directly, "I have freedom of movement in the Blood Demon Hall. You can keep me from leaving the main gate, but you can't keep me from leaving the courtyard either, can you?"

"Second, since I am a seventh-grade alchemist of the Blood Demon Hall, I should act like a seventh-grade alchemist. You need to make the people of the Blood Demon Hall respect me. Can you do that?"
