Huang Xiao now had a way to keep himself from being controlled by the Demon Refining Formula, because he could use the Blood Exhaustion Method to break free.
But Shi Hen and the others still had no way to escape its control.
Even if he had them practice the Blood Exhaustion Method, whether they would accept its side effects was another question.
After all, once they practiced it, they would have to consume essence blood at every moment, just like Old Ghost Feng He.
Old Ghost Feng He was a practitioner of the Ghost Dao and the creator of the technique, making him better suited to using this essence blood from outside sources.
What suited practitioners of the Ghost Dao might not necessarily suit those of the Demonic Path.
