Hannya plans to visit the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range where the Phoenix Ruins is; he plans to obtain the legacy.

Knowing that his 'enemy' from past life is here he needs to increase his strength so when they meet he could take his revenge.

While everyone was partying, Hannya noticed 2 people making their way to the clan. Everyone just ignored them because they're familiar with the one leading. It was none other than Kuroumaru who went to get Juetian.

Xiao Juetian who came in the Nura Clan Headquarters was enthralled by the sight, a building with a design that he had never seen before stood in front of him, he scanned his surroundings while his heart was beating faster. There are different types of demon he had never seen before, he can see multiple blue orbs of fire, Ox-headed demons and Horse-headed demons around, in the air countless of crows with dark red eyes were looking at him, at the very center is a man he was familiar with.

He was sitting with red cup in his hands drinking, beside him is a beautiful woman Juetian had never seen before, when he looked at her Juetian could feel the same cold aura that the cultivators in Frozen Cloud Asgard would normally emit.

On the rooftop is a man with small build, his red hair is illuminated by the moon, despite his weak-looking appearance he got a fierce aura that could make anyone take a step back.

This is the den of monsters..

He then focused his attention to the leader, unlike the first time they met his one eye has changed into red color, he couldn't help but think about the phenomenon that shook the entire world.

Could it be him? His heart started to beat even faster, he felt like if made one mistake he would lose his life immediately.

"Why don't you take a seat?" A cool voice brought Juetian back to reality. His feet started to walked on it's own towards the man, the next thing he realized he's already standing in front of him.

He slowly took a sit, and a demon sat beside him, pouring a sake into his cup.

Hannya looked at the Xiao Patriarch: "Have you made your decision?"

Like a huge hammer that was slammed on the ground, his heart skipped a bit. Should I turn it down? I am the patriarch and it's not right to lower down my head to someone. He surveyed everyone in the place and noticed that they stopped what their doing and focused their attention to him.

Even though no one was pressuring him, Juetian couldn't help but gulp. If he turn them down, would he be killed here? After weighing the pros and cons Juetian gritted his teeth: "I apologize but I can't."

The entire headquarters turned silent for a long time which made Juetian uneasy.

After what seems like eternity to Juetian, Hannya gave him a reply: "I expected that much knowing your position."

Juetian couldn't help but sigh in relief. He looked at the man and replied: "Thank you so much for understanding."

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"You seem to be curious about something." Hannya asked after seeing the curiousity in Juetian's eyes towards the yokai's.

"Umm.. how should I say this.."

"Do you want to know if we are demons?"

"Y-yes" after struggling Juetian decided to bite the bullet and ask. He may not be a good person but he doesn't want to betray humanity.

"We can be considered as demons, but we are different. Unlike most of them we are not hostile to humans. Even my son is half human, that should be enough proof?" Hannya's reply gave him a sigh of relief though he's a bit doubtful but he can also tell if the man in front of him was lying or not. He can sense Rihan's identity as half-human as well.

"But, the looks isn't enough to fool those old monsters you know. I suggest that you leave this place to avoid troubles." Juetian suggested, even though he didn't join the clan he was subdued by this man's charisma. He couldn't help but want to follow him, it's just that he can't because of his position.

"You don't have to worry about that." With a mysterious smile Juetian started to sense that the demons started to change appearance and also their auras until Juetian can only sense human energy flowing in their bodies. He was stunned, right now no matter he look at it, he can't feel any aura's that may be related to demons.

"H-how is th-this po-possible." Unable to maintain his composure Juetian stuttered while exclaiming his disbelief.

"Everything should be fine now. So, do you know why I showed our real appearance to you despite having the capabilities to hide it?"

Juetian shook his head, this is also bugging his mind. If they had such way why did they let him know about it?

"It's because I need someone that I can trust as an ally, even though not official I consider you as one. I really appreciate your skills and it's unfortunate that you are unable to join me."

Juetian was shocked and felt a bit touched by his trust. He couldn't understand why but this man's charisma just makes you want to follow him.

"My son will be going to the moon city. You will be back to Blue Wind Empire right? I will let one of my subordinate join the Frozen Cloud Asgard, I want you to make sure that no one from your family would try to trouble her."

When Juetian learned that Hannya plans on sending a subordinate to the Frozen Cloud Asgard the first person to appear in his mind is the woman beside Hannya.

"I shall do anything I can to help her out but I need to do it behind the scene otherwise it would be bad for her to be treated as a spy." Juetian agreed.

"Alright, then let's continue the party."

...

It's already dawn when the party ended.

Hannya was standing on the rooftop together with Rihan.

"Rihan, since you'll be going to moon city, I want you to join the New Moon Profound Palace and enter the Blue Wind Ranking Tournament." Hannya seriously said.

He wants Rihan to make as many connections as possible so that they can get a stable foothold in this Empire.

Countless connections would give him countless informations which will make it easier for them to find more clues about their hidden enemy.

"Oyaji, will I be able to encounter so many interesting things if I join this Blue Wind Ranking Tournament?" Hannya simply gave him a smile which means that 'He will definitely encounter lots of interesting things' then added: "Also please take care of the new member who will be joining the clan, Greed is on his way to get that guy in Floating Cloud City."

"A new member?" Rihan was confused.

"Yeah, a new member. A really good one." Hannya just gave Rihan another mysterious smile.

"Okay, it seems like it will be interesting."

"Oh, take care of yourself." Hannya added.

"Sheesh, you only remember that now, oyaji please fix that irresponsible attitude." Rihan pouted.

"Also, little girl take care of my son."

Silence descended, Rihan couldn't believe his father learned the existence of Jasmine, he never told anyone in the clan. Not only him but Jasmine who was inside the Sky Poison Pearl's space. She never expected this guy's perception would be this strong.

"Dad, how did you know?" Rihan carefully asked.

"As if such a thing could escape my eyes." Hannya just dissappeared without giving a clear answer.

Jasmine looked at where Hannya stood before he left. She couldn't help but think.

'What a monstrous Father, as expected a person who got a monstrous son is definitely a bigger monster.'

Unbeknownst to them, Hannya already knew everything before they even met. If they knew what would their expression be like?
