Chen Fan had not expected that the very thing he was doing had already been undertaken by Nightmare Hall.
Nightmare Hall started by targeting Star Martial Artists, enticing them to join by offering to help them contract with Demons.
Afterward, they used Demon's Blood to control both the Star Martial Artists and Demons, demonizing all who joined Nightmare Hall, including their Guardian Beasts.
By the time members of Nightmare Hall were spread across Blue Star, the Belief Power generated by those demonized by Demon's Blood, human or Guardian Beast alike, would be absorbed by the statues of Nightmare Hall.
However, they had planned for everything except for Chen Fan "snatching their prize"!
Following Li Mu's advice, Chen Fan turned the tables, implementing "National Demonization," followed by "National Purification," eventually using the Pillar of Faith to collect the Belief Power from all the people and Guardian Beasts he had purified.
