Although the Immortal Palace doesn't advertise much, Huangfu Yi, having grown up in a scholarly family, has heard quite a few secrets.
For example, back in the day, the Immortal Venerable did indeed have monsters under his command.
After all, before the Immortal Venerable emerged, the Human Clan was just a bunch of trash, weak, fragile, and dying early, with hardly any capable of fighting. The initial 'Four Ministers' under the Immortal Venerable, who led the fight against the monsters, though not explicitly stated, were indeed from the Demon Clan. Even today, in some rural areas, they are worshipped as Divine Generals with offerings of incense.
Because of this, the rebellious renegades of the Immortal Palace developed a certain heresy.
It was said that in the Ancient Era, the civilization of the Demon Clan originally coexisted with multiple clans. Of course, the Demon Clan never referred to themselves as 'demons'; back then, they were called the 'Spiritual Clan.'
