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

"Don't just stand there, hurry up and go over there, or you might not have enough time."

Xu Yao turned to look at Chengfeng, who stood up and looked at the old man with some difficulty.

He raised his hands and clasped them in a fist salute to the old man, saying, "Master Chen, it's not that we're unwilling, but the head of the hall has ordered that Master Xu cannot leave, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, otherwise, otherwise what? If I let him come out with me, would the Blood Demon refuse? He won't run away, what's there to worry about?"

The old man glared at Chengfeng, as if he would argue with Chengfeng if he said anything else.

Upon hearing the old man's words, Xu Yao raised his hand and touched his nose; he had indeed considered running away.

However, now that the living dead have been researched, even if he wanted to escape, it would definitely not be at this time.

Otherwise, wouldn't everything he did have been in vain?

Being able to go out for some fresh air is much better than being stuck in a stone chamber with ten living dead.

Xu Yao nodded and turned to leave, but after a while, as if he remembered something, he stopped and turned back to look.

"Um, all my alchemy furnace and herbs were taken away by Hei Da."

By now, the time should have been moved down below.

The road wasn't particularly long, but it wasn't short either, and it was so eerie that he really didn't want to go back.

Upon hearing this, the old man slammed his hand on the table, his face full of anger.

Seeing the old man's expression, Xu Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't we have Hei Da bring the stuff over? That way, I can show you the quality as soon as I finish refining it."

Without thinking much, the old man turned to look at Chengfeng.

"Go, have Hei Da move the things here."

Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, and seeing that the old man was about to lose his temper again, Chengfeng turned around and left.

The old man chased the maid out as well, and the two of them chatted about this and that.

Xu Yao realized that in the Blood Demon Hall, this old man was the god. As long as he could get on the old man's good side, he wouldn't care about Hei Da or anyone else!

As if remembering something, the old man raised his hand and slapped his head, stood up and walked back into the inner room. When he came out, he was holding an exquisite box in his hand.

The old man placed the box directly on the table, opened it, and inside lay a jade flute.

The jade flute also features two carved leaves on its body, making it quite exquisite.

The old man reached out and pushed the jade flute toward Xu Yao, saying, "Consider this my gift to you. You and Blood Demon each have one. I like you very much, so this is for you."

Hearing this, Xu Yao raised an eyebrow. He and Blood Demon each had one, which really made him feel flattered.

Xu Yao hesitated for a moment, then looked at the old man curiously and asked, "They all call you Master Chen, is your surname Chen?"

Upon hearing this, the old man paused for a moment, a barely perceptible look of pain flashing across his face.

After a long pause, he nodded, then sat down in a chair, looking completely lost. He took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Yes, my name is Chen Feng, and I am the Blood Demon's father."

Blood Demon's father!?

Xu Yao's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief.

But seeing that the old man wasn't joking, could it be that this old man really is the Blood Demon's father?

That makes sense, considering how respectful those people were to him. If it weren't for the fact that he was Blood Demon's father, he really couldn't figure out why.

But if he's the father of the Blood Demon, why does he lock himself in a dungeon every day?

Chen Feng looked at Xu Yao and gave a bitter smile, saying, "You must be very curious about why I've been in jail all this time. It's because I'm guilty, and I only deserve to stay in jail."

Blood Demon's real name was Chen Ziyang, which he later changed to Blood Demon.

Back then, before the Blood Demon Hall existed, the Chen family was considered a prominent family. Everything was wonderful, you could say everything was perfect. Then, twenty-six years ago, on the Mid-Autumn Festival night.

Chen Feng suddenly went mad and was in a state of chaos.

At that time, he knew nothing; all he knew was to kill, kill, kill!

Soon the Chen family's house was covered in blood, and screams, wails and cries filled the air.

Upon reaching the Blood Demon's room, Chen Feng regained some of his sanity. To avoid harming the Blood Demon, he slashed his own arm several times with a knife, gaining a brief moment of clarity before letting the frightened man take the Blood Demon away.

In just one night, the entire Chen family was wiped out, leaving only a Blood Demon alive, and it was he who did it!

From then on, he locked himself in a small wooden cabin on the mountain to atone for his sins from back then.

Later, the Blood Demon established the Blood Demon Hall and had him captured and brought back.

What happened back then is what he can't let go of the most.

Blood Demon's mother was a famous alchemist, and Zhihua looked very much like Blood Demon's mother, which is why Zhihua was so domineering in Blood Demon Hall.

Hearing this, Xu Yao didn't know what to say.

Although he had gone mad from practicing qi cultivation, those people did indeed die at Chen Feng's hands.

Looking at Xu Yao's expression, Chen Feng gave a wry smile and said, "You think I'm a jerk, right? I think I'm pretty much a jerk too."

After he recovered, he became an ordinary person. His dantian was shattered and he lost all his cultivation. This was his retribution!

A series of footsteps sounded, and then Chengfeng and his men carried over the alchemy furnace and everything else, with Hei Da following closely behind.

Hei Da stopped beside Chen Feng, frowning as he said, "Master Chen, Xu Yao is an alchemist from my Blood Demon Hall, and he has a mission waiting for him to complete. Please allow me to move my things, as business is more important."

Upon hearing Hei Da's words, Chen Feng's melancholy vanished instantly, replaced by impatience as he looked at Hei Da.

“I said, you don’t need to remind me here that this is the Blood Demon Hall. I’m only borrowing Xu Yao for one day, and I’ll return him to the Blood Demon Hall tomorrow.”

Xu Yao sat there with his hands on his arms, watching the scene with great interest.

It's going to be really fun if Hei Da meets Blood Demon's father.

Before Hei Da could say anything more, Chen Feng raised his hand to his chest, looking pained.

Seeing Chen Feng like this, the dark-skinned man's face instantly tensed up. This was Blood Demon's father. Although Blood Demon said he didn't care about Chen Feng, he could tell that Blood Demon still took Chen Feng seriously.

If something happens to Chen Feng, will the Blood Demon let him go?

Hei Da tried to help the old man, but the old man raised his hand and shook him off.

The old man sat on the chair with his legs bent and said, "Are you trying to drive me crazy? Get out, get out now!"

Seeing Chen Feng's expression, Xu Yao curled the corners of his lips but said nothing.

If she were truly ill, how could she have known to sit down first and still have the strength to shake off Hei Da?

Moreover, he noticed that Chen Feng looked quite healthy, so nothing serious had happened.

Hei Da turned his head to look at Xu Yao, then at Chen Feng, his face full of hesitation.

If he leaves and Xu Yaozhen disappears, the hall master will definitely skin him alive.
