Zhou Daohang-the Pang Family had previously wanted to make him their nail in Heavenly Demon Hall. People like him existed in every era.
In both the Patriarch's time and his own, the Pang Family must have secretly cultivated quite a few others like him.
Unfortunately, he had died in the end.
Huang Xiao had found an opportunity to get him killed.
Yet the Patriarch probably had never found an opportunity to kill those people back then.
With someone like Zhou Daohang embedded in Heavenly Demon Hall, both the Patriarch and Huang Xiao would find themselves somewhat on the back foot when the time came.
Heavenly Demon Hall was different now. Zhou Daohang had been removed, making the situation decidedly more favorable than it had been for the Patriarch back then.
In Heavenly Demon Hall, Wu Cang, Yin Huju, and Liu Jiong all followed Huang Xiao's lead now.
So if he wanted to bring the whole of Heavenly Demon Hall under his control, it would be fairly easy.
For Huang Xiao, there was little trouble on Heavenly Demon Hall's side. The Main Hall was where the real trouble lay.
Even his Patriarch had been unable to uproot the Pang Family's influence in the Demon Hall back then, and now, under Pang Ji's leadership, the Pang Family was even more powerful than it had been a thousand years ago.
If he really became Hall Master, could he accomplish that while facing an even stronger Pang Family?
Huang Xiao doubted himself too. After all, even the Patriarch had failed to do it.
"As long as you understand," Shi Hen said. "Let this old man ask you, what did the Hall Master say about the Blood Exhaustion Method?"
"Nothing yet." Huang Xiao shook his head.
"Is that so? Does even he have no solution?"
