The first thing He Ku did when he came out of seclusion was to change the palace name to that sort of name. So naturally, the disciples would gossip.

However, the Palace of Bliss was different from other sects. In the beginning, these demonic cultivators had entered to be closer to He Huan, but later they slowly began to realise that the peaceful and domestic life here was much happier than the life of slaughter outside. For them, as long as He Huan could keep the sect safe then they wouldn't even care if he directly named it the Xuanmen Righteous Sect.

The majority of the demonic side was already filled with questionable characters, but who told Bu QingYun that he would one day be among them, the number of enemies he had were endless right from the get-go. The moment he entered, he was frequently attacked by several major demonic sects. Although the odds of him surviving were miniscule, he still ended up on top and naturally wiped them all out.

Fortunately, He Huan also exterminated all the righteous sects that later tried to capture him, forming a shaky power balance, only then was the demonic side not subjected to a slaughter.

A difficult few decades passed and the demonic side welcomed a new generation of youths. They amassed enough of an army to try and force He Huan to attack the righteous side, but were shut down through sheer power. Gradually, the demonic cultivators realised that He Huan didn't care about anything other than cultivating and enjoying his life so they couldn't rely on him to lead them in their fight to defeat the righteous side, they finally began to settle down and got used to this life where righteous and demonic minded their own businesses.

By himself, He Huan had delicately tweaked the power balance of the Jianghu many times and became known as the current strongest demonic cultivator.

However, although he was the only Calamity Crossing expert on the demonic side that could oppose the Xuanmen Righteous Sect's zhangmen, his unclear affiliation caused the other demonic sects to only remain at a safe distance. Even if they somehow became closer to him, they still didn't dare to offend him in fear that this guy would one day lose it and go on a killing spree.

However, even if others weren't able to guess his intentions, He Ku knew. He Huan had said that back then Bu QingYun's dao heart was for the world to be at peace. Although he didn't go by the name Bu QingYun anymore, he was still using his own way to achieve his 'world peace'.

In the years since He Huan joined the demonic side, not a single great war between good and evil had broken out. Those few tyrannical and sadistic sects had also been suppressed because they made his 'mood' sour. Oddly enough, the world was more at peace now than when He Huan was still on the righteous side.

It was exactly because of this that He Ku felt even more indignant for both He Huan and Bu QingYun. Clearly, they were one of the only ones who truly sought to protect the people, yet because of others' power struggle and schemes, they had to carry the entire world's hate. While He Huan was able to brush it off and not care about what the people say, He Ku couldn't.

Although a small part of why he changed the sect's name was because it was funny, the largest reason was to anger those self-appointed righteous sects that scoffed at He Huan.

They said that He Huan was a shameless demon lord?

Then he just had to put that 'Mingmen Righteous Sect' plaque on his front door. Within the next two days he also wanted to counterfeit a batch of Xuanmen Righteous Sect's uniforms to assign to everyone in the palace. He'd see how those righteous cultivators could flaunt their nobleness and honour then.

He Ku knew that his set of actions was childish, like resorting to spitting on the other children to make trouble because they were unable to fight. He Huan was an adult and wouldn't do something so classless, but He Ku was still young. Whoever dared to bully his friend would end up with a face of spit, thoroughly disgusting the other party.
