"Patriarch, I heard Pang Ji came to see you. Was he hoping to ask you how to counter the Supreme Demon Token?" Huang Xiao asked.
"That's right. That was what he wanted," Huo Lian said. "Unfortunately, Pang Ji doesn't know that it isn't the Supreme Demon Token that's so formidable, but the Demon Refining Formula. The root of it is still the Demon Refining Formula."
"Then did you tell him how to counter it, Patriarch?" Huang Xiao hurriedly asked.
Huo Lian shook his head. "No. I didn't mention that the Demon Refining Formula caused this. I only told him there was a way to counter the Supreme Demon Token's influence, but it would take more time than he could accept. Add in the other costs, and Pang Ji simply wouldn't believe in such a method. So I only touched on a few things without explaining in detail. I'm putting it off for now, keeping Pang Ji dangling for the time being. Pang Ji is still very useful. Perhaps we can use this matter to get him to do quite a few things for us."
When you needed a favor from someone, you were bound to be at their mercy. There was no doubt about that.
In this matter, Pang Ji really would be squeezed hard by the Patriarch.
As for how steep a price Pang Ji would pay, the Patriarch surely had a clear idea.

"So, Patriarch, you actually still can't counter the Demon Refining Formula in a short time?" Huang Xiao asked.
"Not in a short time, unless I use your Blood Exhaustion Method," Huo Lian said. "Unfortunately, Pang Ji doesn't have the Longevity Chapter. He can't regenerate his essence blood. I'm afraid those aftereffects would be unacceptable
