“A man will die if he dies.

“I’m not afraid of death, but I’m afraid of dying!”

The youth took a step forward, raised his head and puffed out his chest, as if he was willing to die.

To be able to come to the demon sect as a spy, regardless of whether they were forced here or obtained resources, they had already made some mental preparations before they set off.

Since their identities had already been exposed, it was already a very good ending for them to be able to die happily.

The young man was full of righteousness and had a generous and sorrowful look on his face. However, Ai Li only smiled sinisterly and had no intention of making a move at all.

“I’ve said it before, all of you are official disciples of our demon sect.

“As long as all of you don’t violate the sect rules, I naturally have no reason to kill you.

“Passing information to the outside world is not considered a violation of the sect rules. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a go.”

“I’ll give it a go. Do you think I don’t dare?!”

The youth was also fierce. He gritted his teeth and took out a round bead from his pocket.

He peeled open the ball and took out the firewood. He bit his index finger and used blood to replace ink. The brush moved like a dragon and snake. In front of Ai Li, he actually used his finger as a pen to write information.

This youth could be considered a meticulous person.

Usually, he did not reveal anything, but he had already secretly observed all the terrain and structures of the demon gate.

He even wrote down the three levels of the demon gate.

However, the third level had not started yet. He did not know the specific content. He only wrote down a name, Tower of Babel.

After he finished writing, the youth bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence.

He was muttering to himself, but he did not hesitate to use the two-wound spell to forcefully increase his cultivation strength, just to ensure that the information could be transmitted at a faster speed.

At this moment, an accident happened.

The young man used all his strength to activate the family’s secret technique, but what gushed out of his body was pitch-black demonic qi.

The nature of demonic qi and true qi was different, like fire and water.

The young man used the method to activate his true qi to activate his demonic qi, and it immediately suffered a backlash.

As if struck by lightning, he collapsed to the ground with an ouch sound and blood spurted out wildly.

“Idiot, you didn’t even notice that the true qi in your body had been replaced? With your talent, you wouldn’t have been qualified to step onto the Stairway to Heaven in the past.”

Ai Li gave a cold evaluation and no longer looked at him.

“Impossible, how could this be?”

“How could the true qi that I have cultivated for hundreds of years turn into demonic qi? What did you do to me?”

The youth was indescribably terrified. He forcefully endured his injuries and wanted to pounce over, but on the way, his injuries were so severe that he fell.

Ai Li had already seen through the youth’s depth and had lost interest in him.

No matter how much the youth struggled, he did not spare him another glance.

Instead, he turned around and said to the crowd, “After passing the Stairway to Heaven, you are already a disciple of the demon sect.

“If you are confident in your cultivation level and aptitude, you can participate in the Heavenly Tower trial in three days.

“The Tower of Babel is the final stage of the three stages, and it is also the most dangerous stage.

“If you pass it, you can directly become an inner disciple. If you can’t pass it, you can just die inside!”

Ai Li’s lips curled into a cold smile, but she did not finish her sentence.

According to the rules of the demon sect, as long as one was able to come out alive from the Stairway to Heaven, one would be qualified to choose any secret manual or divine ability in the Tower of Babel.

This was especially so since everyone had returned from the thousand stone steps.

According to the rules, one could cultivate any cultivation technique without restrictions.

It was just that the demon lord’s reincarnation had secretly lent a hand this time, allowing everyone to pass the trial of the Stairway to Heaven.

Although it had left good seedlings for the demon sect, it had also lost its tempering.

Some people who were not mentally strong and did not have keen spiritual senses had also muddled their way in.

If it was in the past, even an idiot would be treated as a genius if they could reach the thousandth step on the stone staircase.

Now, the demon sect was about to prosper and hundreds of geniuses would appear at once.
