To prove it, one just needs to check the secret records left by Heaven Gate in the past. However, Xiaoyao doesn't want to know about it; let Eastern Wutong and her sister handle this family matter.

"If that's true, wouldn’t Heaven Gate be a branch of the Demon Sect Wouldn't we have done something foolish" Black Snow frowned; she was quite surprised by this development.

At this moment, Eastern Wutong and her sister must be in agony. If they discover their ancestors were part of the Demon Sect, how would they deal with it Should they continue seeking revenge or give up

"Put a drop of her blood into it!" Black Snow didn’t want to know about this matter for now; what was most important at present was opening the door. Since Eastern Wuyan is Eastern Wutong's sister, she must have the same lineage.

When Eastern Wuyan’s blood was added, as expected, it matched Eastern Wutong’s heritage, further confirming that they might be direct descendants of the Demon Sect. This made them even more conflicted.

Eastern Wuyan could still bear with it; she didn’t care much about anything. However, Eastern Wutong wanted to avenge her family.

Xiaoyao felt fortunate that this wasn't his problem. He didn't ponder for long since there was another issue at hand.

"Damn it! It's still missing just a little bit!" Xiaoyao looked at the line, which was only slightly short of completion despite Eastern Wutong and her sister contributing their half.

"Is there anyone left" Black Snow frowned. At this point, they were only one person away from success, an outcome that might be most frustrating; if many people were needed, it would have been easier to accept than just being short of one.

Both Black Snow and the others thought similarly: If there was another person, things would be better. But who else could there be

Suddenly, everyone noticed something; they all looked at someone!

"What are you looking at me for" Xiaoyao asked blankly. All eyes were on him.

"You haven't bled yet!" Everyone shouted in unison. They had all been drained of blood due to his idea, and now they noticed that Xiaoyao himself hadn’t contributed any; naturally, they wanted to see him bleed.

"I definitely don't have the noble lineage you're thinking about; please spare my blood. Every drop lost means eating three extra bowls of rice," Xiaoyao joked.

"No nonsense!" Ah Red was straightforward and ignored Xiaoyao, grabbing his hand immediately to cut him with a delicate little knife.

"Hold it! You're slicing meat not bleeding; I'll do it myself!" Xiaoyao quickly stopped her. Cutting like that would surely remove some flesh.

"I'm helping you; don't worry, I'll be careful," Ah Red smiled and wanted to continue since this was an opportunity she wouldn’t let slip.

"No way, I trust no one but myself! I’ll do it," Xiaoyao took the little knife from her hand and pricked himself slightly, dripping just a drop of blood—no more. He controlled this precisely.

Ah Red was momentarily stunned; she wasn’t sure how to interpret the outcome, but she wondered how Xiaoyao managed to take the knife from her. She had participated in pursuing Eastern Unbeatable and should have been careful enough not to let someone as low-level as him (in Ah Red’s view, anyone below General rank is negligible) take an item from her.

Was this a coincidence It must be because she couldn’t understand how he took the knife!

Soon, Ah Red forgot about it due to what happened next.

"No way! I can do it too"

Xiaoyao’s blood was dripped in, and the line began moving once more. This activation triggered the final bit, causing an unusual glow that spread over the door like a net covering its entire surface.

The heavy mechanism sounds followed as the thick door slowly opened; the Demon Sect members were excited to finally see the legendary Demon Palace.

As for Xiaoyao’s role in activating it, nobody paid attention. With so many people involved before and Eastern Wutong's sisters’ discovery, Xiaoyao merely contributing a little bit was of no consequence—nobody but him and those close to him would care about this.

"Xiaoyao, since you have Demon Sect bloodline, why not join the Demon Sect" Black Snow proposed. Wouldn’t it be great if Xiaoyao joined them He could bring benefits to the sect, and she could get closer to him!

"No, having a demonic lineage merely signifies the identity of my ancestors. Even if my parents were part of the demon sect, it doesn't mean I have to join them!" Xianyao firmly rejected her and clearly stated his stance.

Wuqing looked at Xianyao and realized she couldn’t be as carefree as him; she was troubled by her bloodline and wanted to escape the issue but found it impossible.

"Second Miss, it seems we have some karmic connection. Our bloodlines are somewhat similar; don't you think we could be lost siblings" Xianyao said with a smile, saying something that everyone knew was just for fun.

"Siblings I can’t confirm that, but I’ve never heard of such a brother," Wunian replied.

"Wunian, don't listen to this scoundrel's nonsense. He’s teasing you! We only have two sisters and no other siblings," Wuqing said coldly.

"Let’s go in now!" Black Snow pulled Xianyao towards the entrance; at that moment, without Black Snow entering first, everyone else was waiting outside, none of them daring to enter before her.

This wasn’t just due to Black Snow's status but also because they knew how treacherous this Demon Palace was. Without blueprints or being an expert in mechanisms, going inside and clearing a path would be akin to suicide.

"Show me the mechanism plans," Xianyao walked ahead without hesitation, waving the blueprint around. Sister Red felt rather excited; she hoped that there’d be some mechanism here that could kill Xianyao off.

However, this was destined to disappoint her—Xianyao had no trouble navigating through this place even without blueprints, let alone with them in hand.

In truth, the blueprint was just an aid for him. It helped him determine whether he’d missed anything during his year of absence.

Surprisingly, Xianyao found that indeed there was one spot he had overlooked. However, it was marked as a room only the sect leader could enter; thus, even if he wanted to go now, there would be no chance!

Xianyao didn’t think too much about this omission and felt indifferent towards it. What he needed were basic materials; missing out on something more advanced wasn't an issue since he could infer the rest. Additionally, given that he was a demon sect leader now, encountering such places would be unlikely.

Of course, if he had the chance to go there, he'd take it. But from a design standpoint, forcibly breaking into this secret room seemed impossible, especially with someone guarding it inside the demon sect!

"There’s an arrow trap here; we need to shut it off first or else we’ll be turned into pincushions," Xianyao stopped at one point and quickly found a mechanism. He then deftly disabled the trap and continued onward.

This was the first time they’d seen this, so everyone just felt somewhat puzzled; perhaps it was coincidence!

However, as two more traps were similarly deactivated, everyone began to strongly suspect whether Xianyao really had never been here before. Why did he seem so familiar with everything

No, if he wasn’t a first-timer then how did he enter previously There was only one entrance and it had never been opened until now.

If he hadn't come in before, why would he be so proficient Relying solely on the blueprint of the Demon Palace seemed unlikely!

"Wuqing, I have a suggestion: why not join the demon sect" Xianyao ignored everyone's stares and spoke to Wuqing.

"Join the demon sect" Wuqing frowned. She didn’t understand why Xianyao suggested this when her father had been killed by the demon sect and Heaven Gate destroyed by them as well.

Given such hatred, it was impossible not to seek revenge!

"Don’t dismiss my idea just yet!" Before Wuqing could refuse, Xianyao continued: "If you wish to take vengeance, you’d need to defeat the upper echelons of the demon sect. Usually before even meeting them, you'd be killed off, and moreover, you don't have the ability to hunt down River Sky."

As he spoke, Xianyao opened another mechanism and led everyone into a passage that seemed to be the main artery of this underground palace.

"However, if you join the demon sect, things are different. You can still pursue vengeance; even if you kill River Sky, others won’t say anything! The demon sect permits killing for reasons, including among members themselves, so no one would stop you."

Xianyao continued: "Moreover, by joining, you’ll be able to find River Sky anytime, which simplifies things. And most importantly, only by joining the demon sect can you learn Heaven Demon Art; this is what will allow your strength to rival River Sky!"

Wuqing fell silent; hearing Xianyao’s words made her see a glimmer of hope. At least using this method would greatly increase her chances for revenge. Without considering identity, it was perhaps the best approach!
