The slap from Xue He woke Chu Yao up, and his fear of Xue He was now beyond mere terror. Looking at Xue He's smiling face, Chu Yao felt his blood run cold.
Xue He, from Chu Yao's movements, could tell he was a disciple of the Five Immortals Temple, and immediately fed Chu Yao a poison, coercing him into obedience.
Since then, Chu Yao became Xue He's eyes within the Five Immortals Temple, any activity within the temple would be known to Xue He. Yet, Xue He did not shortchange Chu Yao, passing on to him the Blood Handprint technique.
Chu Yao practiced the Blood Handprint in secret and found it rewarding. He was merely an ordinary disciple at the Five Immortals Temple, with limited talent, thus only accessing the common cultivation techniques known to all.
The Blood Handprint was different, with astonishing power. He saw with his own eyes how Xue He flattened a cow into a pool of blood with one palm strike.
