“Rest well for the next few days. There’s no rush to cultivate here.

“When the people from each cave return, the welcoming assembly will officially begin. Help a cave select its successor.

“I advise you not to wander around in the next few days. Even if you want to pass on information to the sect, it’s best to wait until after the welcoming assembly.

“It’s too dangerous now, and you don’t have any valuable information.

“Don’t tell me you’re like children, telling your family that you’re safe!”

Ai Li crossed his hands behind his back, came to Qiu Ya’s side, bent down, and said with a smile.

“You’re the child. Master already predicted that we wouldn’t be in danger, so there’s no need to tell us that we’re safe!”

Qiu Ya pinched the thousand paper crane in her hand and quietly erased the words on it before putting it away.

From the marks, one could clearly see the words, ‘Master, I miss you so much! The grapes you stole for me have been eaten up’ and so on.

“It’s good that you don’t. The Earth’s fire will erupt during the welcoming ceremony that happens once every hundred years.

“When that time comes, the entire demon den will be covered in Earth’s fire and lava, cutting off all contact with the outside world. Even if you steal my armored heavenly centipede, it will be a waste of effort.”

Ai Li touched Qiu Ya’s theft and left with a smile.

“Senior sister, what should we do next?”

After confirming that Ai Li was far away, Qiu Ya heaved a long sigh of relief and hopped over to Bai Ling’s side.

“Let’s wait and see. Don’t act rashly.

“Don’t forget that ten thousand years ago, the saintess of the Jade Fairy Mountain infiltrated the demon sect as a spy. She was assimilated by the demon sect and became one of the eight bitter Dharmaraja Kings. She’s still alive now!

“We must stick to our hearts and not be fooled by the demonic music.”

Bai Ling looked around and didn’t forget to remind everyone.

10,000 years ago, the saintess’ betrayal was the death of Jade Fairy Mountain, causing the inheritance of Jade Fairy Mountain to almost be destroyed. Water Moon Fairy hated her to the bone.

According to seniority, the traitor saintess was Bai Ling’s grandmaster.

With such a senior in the demon sect, Bai Ling and the others had to be a hundred times more careful.

Alan leaned against the wall with his sword in his hand, looking dispirited.

Bai Ling and the others’ worries were of no use to Alan.

In terms of demonic techniques, even the demonic lord was a realm lower than Alan.

Not to mention the eight bitter Dharmaraja sect masters and the others.

Not only would Alan’s mind be bewitched by the demonic techniques, even the great demonic sect would not use such crude methods.

If Ai Li really only wanted to control a few people, Alan would be very disappointed.

The orientation assembly was in full swing, and Ai Li did not have any restrictions on everyone as he had previously said.

Even if Bai Ling and the others brazenly went out to plan the terrain, they would turn a blind eye to the intelligence gathering.

It was not just Ai Li who did not care, but the other demonic sect disciples also did not care.

In the entire catacombs, everyone was busy with their own matters. No one cared about Bai Ling and the others at all.

Bai Ling also tried to pass on the intelligence.

Just as Ai Li had said, during the orientation assembly, the Earth’s fire was extremely hot.

The thousand paper cranes used to pass on the intelligence would automatically burn up after flying less than a kilometer. It was impossible to pass on any intelligence at all.

On the other hand, Alan had been dragging his ‘sick’ body around these past few days to scout around and obtain a lot of crucial intelligence.

For example, this underground demon cave was actually an existence that was similar to a small world.

Or rather, it was a separate world, a dimension-like space.

All the demon beasts, plants, and insects in the entire demon cave fed on the lava and Earth’s fire that flowed underground, and their fire resistance was extremely high.

Ai Li was not telling the truth.
