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

He had never heard of such a powerful alchemist before; this was the first time one had appeared in their Ghost Market.

All he knew was that a new seventh-grade alchemist named Xu Yao had recently emerged. He used to be in the Qingfeng Sect, but was later taken away by the Blood Demon Hall and is now imprisoned there.

If this Chen Jiuyuan is really Xu Yao, then things will get much more interesting!

……

Soon Xu Yao and his group arrived at the Blood Demon Hall. Before they even entered, they saw a familiar figure standing not far away. Who else but the Blood Demon would be so bored as to guard a door in the middle of the night?

Seeing that Blood Demon Chen Feng was a little embarrassed, he chuckled twice and walked forward, stopping next to Blood Demon.

"You brat, can't I, as your father, even lend you someone?"

Upon hearing this, Chengfeng raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with surprise.

Chengfeng went to find Hei Da when Chen Feng revealed his identity, so he didn't know.

He wondered why this old man was so arrogant in the Blood Demon Hall; it turned out he had such a powerful background.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Blood Demon's face instantly darkened, and he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Chen Feng.

Meeting the Blood Demon's gaze, Chen Feng shivered, then looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "The weather is nice, not bad at all. I'll go back and rest now!"

After saying that, he ran away.

Seeing Chen Feng's spineless appearance, Xu Yao clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked.

This old man is supposed to be very powerful, so why is he so cowardly in front of the Blood Demon?

Isn't he the Blood Demon's father?!

As soon as Chen Feng left, the place fell silent, without a sound.

Xu Yao chuckled twice and said, "It was the old man who sent me over. You...you're not going to blame me, are you?"

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the Blood Demon turned around and prepared to leave.

Although no cultivation level could be sensed from Xu Yao, his strength was definitely not that simple.

Moreover, given Xu Yao's intelligence in relation to Cheng Feng, he would likely have plenty of ways to leave if he wanted to; it seems he was indeed overthinking things.

Xu Yao breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the Blood Demon prepare to leave, but before he could lift his leg, the Blood Demon stopped again and turned to look back.

"We didn't agree to include the Blood Demon Hall in our previous agreement. This is a one-time exception, and there will be no next time!"

"Also, Hei Da has already moved the things into the secret room for you. You can go there directly tomorrow. I need you to wake them up as quickly as possible. Can you do that?"

Upon waking up, I'll probably become a living dead in no time!

Xu Yao cursed under his breath, but still nodded and left.

Riding the wind closely followed.

After they left, Hei Da emerged from the shadows, staring menacingly in the direction Xu Yao had gone.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Yao was a seventh-grade alchemist and still somewhat useful to the Blood Demon Hall, he could have torn Xu Yao to pieces based on those very qualities!

Blood Demon turned to look at Blackie, who then realized what was happening and lowered his head to avoid Blood Demon's gaze, not daring to look up even once.

Seeing his expression, Blood Demon raised his hand and yawned, saying, "Alright, alright. Judging from the ghost masks they're wearing, they must have gone to the Ghost Market. Go and find out where else they went besides the Ghost Market."

"Yes!"

Hei Da immediately nodded in response.

Blood Demon shook his head at Blackie and turned to leave.

The next day, Xu Yao was woken up by Cheng Feng. Just as he was about to speak, Cheng Feng lowered his head and said, "It was the hall master who told me to call you to the secret room, not me!"

Seeing Chengfeng like this, Xu Yao rolled his eyes. He had only been with him for a few days, and he had already gone from being a mute to shirking responsibility.

The thought that Chen Feng should be in jail now made Xu Yao less bothered.

He quickly tidied himself up and clenched his fists as he walked toward the prison. Before he had even left the Orchid Garden, he saw Hei Da walking toward him.

Xu Yao's face showed impatience as soon as he saw Hei Da. He stopped and turned his head to look elsewhere, unwilling to look at Hei Da again.

It's only been a short time. It's one thing to have Chengfeng urge us, but do we really need to have Heida come over to urge us as well?

Do you have to be so anxious?

Seeing the expression on Xu Yao's face, Hei Da clenched his fists, afraid that he would not be able to help but punch Xu Yao in the face.

Hei Da stopped in front of Xu Yao and said coldly, "The hall master is in the main hall now. Come with me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao frowned, his face full of speechlessness. Wasn't the matter already over yesterday? Why did they still need to call him over?

Are they going to settle scores later?

He was a seventh-grade alchemist after all, but he was really frustrated in the Blood Demon Hall!

Despite his reluctance, Xu Yao had no choice but to follow Hei Da to the hall.

When he arrived at the hall, he sensed an awkward atmosphere. Blood Demon and a man dressed in black were sitting in the hall, and there was another person standing behind the man in black.

They were just as cold as him.

The two men's auras emanated from them, causing Xu Yao to shiver involuntarily.

So, he wasn't called over for tea, but to watch the battle?

Hei Da cupped his hands in greeting to the Blood Demon and said, "Master, Master Xu has been brought here."

Blood Demon grunted and looked at the person next to him with a dark expression.

"Chongfeng, your news travels fast. I just recruited an alchemist and you've already received the news. The alchemist is already here. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do here?"

Heavy wind, what the heck?

Why did Xu Yao feel that these two people's auras were somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before?

Did she come to see him out of affection?

Chongfeng did not respond to Blood Demon's words, as if he had not heard them.

He looked Xu Yao up and down. Although Xu Yao wasn't wearing a mask today, he was certain that this was Chen Jiuyuan from yesterday.

It turns out he really is alone. How interesting!

When Xu Yao's gaze met Chong Feng's, he took a step back, feeling a sense of unease.

Chongfeng stopped looking at Xu Yao and turned to Xue Mo, saying, "I came here today to borrow Master Xu of the Blood Demon Hall for two days. I think you should..."

"disagree!"

Before Chongfeng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Blood Demon.

It's one thing to go against him normally, but now he actually wants to steal the alchemists from his Blood Demon Hall. What, do they really think their Blood Demon Hall is easy to bully?

Hearing this, Chongfeng wasn't annoyed; he shook his head and smiled.

He raised his hand and tapped it on the table, then took a letter out of his pocket and handed it to Chongfeng.

Chongfeng tossed the letter directly to Xuemo. Xuemo frowned, opened the envelope, and when he saw what was inside, his face turned ashen. He then slammed the envelope on the table.

"Chongxin, what exactly do you want to do?"

Chongfeng looked up at the Blood Demon with a cold gaze, his face expressionless.

"If you don't want to do anything, just lend it to me for two days. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep your job of capturing the Mingyang Sect members and the sect leader. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes filled with admiration.

Wow, that's impressive. They even know that the Mingyang Sect is here.
