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

There were ten racks inside, and people were tied to each of them. In addition, an old man was standing next to them.

Upon seeing the old man, he immediately walked over, nodded to him, and his expression was incredibly obsequious.

"These people are in your hands now. Don't forget our agreement!"

Hei Da hummed in agreement, and the old man turned around, his eyes meeting Xu Yao's.

Xu Yao looked the old man up and down, and finally noticed a tattoo on his hand. It was quite large and ran all the way up his arm. When the old man saw Xu Yao's movement, he immediately put his hand behind his back and looked at Xu Yao warily.

The people of the Mingyang Sect, the people of the Mingyang Sect actually colluded with the people of the Blood Demon Hall, it really didn't expect Xu Yao.

Moreover, judging from his appearance, this person's status in the Mingyang Sect must not be low; he must be an elder-level figure.

The sect leader of Mingyang Sect suddenly disappeared some time ago, and the Grand Elder temporarily took over the position of sect leader. It is likely that this person is the Grand Elder.

Xu Yao nodded to the old man, then turned his head away, no longer looking at the old man.

The old man watched as Xu Yao clenched his fist, then walked out.

After the old man left, Xu Yao turned to look at Hei Da and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the Grand Elder of the Mingyang Sect. So, you two have cooperated?"

"Is the Mingyang Sect now in your hands?"

Hei Da looked somewhat surprised, but more so wary.

He hadn't expected Xu Yao to be able to guess all of this; it turned out he had underestimated Xu Yao.

This made Hei Da worry. What exactly did Xu Yao want to do? Could it be that he really planned to stay in the Blood Demon Hall?

Suddenly, the entire stone chamber fell silent, with no sound except for the faint breathing.

After a long while, Hei Da said, "You don't need to worry about these things. First, take a look at what's going on with these people."

"Okay, let's move it down."

Xu Yao raised his hands and placed them on his arms, looking at Hei Da with great interest.

搬？

Upon hearing this word, Hei Da's face darkened. Did they really need to move them all down just to check the situation?

Seeing Hei Da's expression, Xu Yao didn't care. He stepped back and leaned against the wall, saying, "In the past, Cheng Feng always did the moving work. Since you're here, you can do it. If you incur any responsibility, can you bear the blame from the Blood Demon?"

Hearing Xu Yao use the Blood Demon to intimidate Hei Da made him even angrier, but Xu Yao was still useful now, so even if the matter went to the Blood Demon, the Blood Demon wouldn't help him.

Even though he was furious, Hei Da could only suppress his anger, go to the side of these people, untie the ropes, and move them one by one to Xu Yao's side.

Chengfeng wanted to go and help, but Xu Yao kept talking and wouldn't let him get away with it.

There was no other way, so they simply stayed next to Xu Yao, since there were only ten people in total.

Soon, the ten people lay down in front of Xu Yao. Just like when he first met Su Xun, they all had their eyes open, with only the whites of their eyes showing and no pupils.

There were also black marks on his face, as if they were engraved on it.

Xu Yao squatted down and examined them, finding that their bodies were stiff, as if they had been dead for a long time.

However, they all had tattoos on their bodies, all on their arms.

Su Xun also had tattoos on his arms, extending all the way to his back; they were all from the Mingyang Sect.

Xu Yao glanced around and quickly focused his gaze on the person in front of him.

Although he has become this inhuman and ghostly appearance, you can still see that he still has a lot of temperament. Just by lying there, he gives people a powerful aura that the Grand Elder of Mingyang Sect can't match!

This should be the sect leader of the Mingyang Sect.

Although he hadn't been in the Qingfeng Sect for long, he had still heard of the Mingyang Sect Master's reputation. It's a real pity that he's ended up like this.

Xu Yao stood up and turned to look at Hei Da.

"They look just like Su Xun did before. Could you please carry them to my place? There's nothing here, how am I supposed to repair them?"

"You deliberately?"

Hearing this, Hei Da couldn't hold back any longer and glared angrily at Xu Yao.

Xu Yao didn't deny it, but just looked at him and gave a cold laugh without saying anything.

They treated him so badly before, and even brought him here. If it weren't for Hei Da, would he be suffering in this godforsaken place?

Now that Blood Demon has said he'll be free in Blood Demon Hall, he'll get everything a seventh-grade alchemist deserves.

A seventh-grade alchemist is hard to find, let alone in the Blood Demon Hall or even in several sects. The Blood Demon would never kick him out for such a trivial matter, especially since he had said he would help these living dead improve their strength.

If we don't take revenge now, when will we?

The two remained locked in a stalemate. Chengfeng looked at Xu Yao and then at Hei Da, unsure of what to say.

Hei Da clenched his fists, his face full of anger.

After a long silence, he said coldly, "It's impossible to bring them to you, but I will send someone to move Master Xu's alchemy furnace and herb rack here. Master Xu can stay here to repair them from now on."

After saying that, Hei Da snorted coldly, turned around, and left.

Xu Yao didn't care. He went over and checked them again to make sure they had taken the Hooked Beast's beast crystal before giving up.

Once someone ingests the Beast Crystal of the Hooked Beast, it's as if there's no cure.

Xu Yao is now wondering where the Blood Demon got so many beast crystals from.

Chengfeng glanced at the ten people, then turned to look at Xu Yao.

"Should we wait here?"

"What are you waiting for? Let's go out and have some fun."

He finally gained his personal freedom, so wouldn't it be a shame not to take a good look around here?

This can be considered as figuring out the Blood Demon Hall's layout, preparing for a future escape.

Xu Yao turned around and walked out. Cheng Feng hesitated for a moment, but followed him.

The two quickly returned to the prison, and even before they got close, they could hear screams and curses.

"This is the consequence of betraying the Blood Demon Hall. Don't worry, you won't die, you'll just suffer a fate worse than death. You should enjoy it!"

"Stop pretending to be dead! Get up right now! Don't think I don't know, if you don't get up, I'll take action!"

……

The sounds kept ringing out, and seeing this bloody scene, Xu Yao really felt like he was in the eighteenth level of hell.

He turned to Chengfeng and asked, "Who are usually locked up here? Why are they treated like this? What serious crime have they committed?"

Chengfeng shook his head and explained, "Not necessarily. Some of them bumped into the Blood Demon Lord, and some betrayed the Blood Demon Hall. In any case, no one who comes here can leave alive. If you can survive for two months, you are considered lucky."

"Because they usually can't withstand it for more than two or three days."

Xu Yao couldn't help but shudder as he watched someone drive thick iron nails into the prisoner's body.
