Yang An had also directly sensed the change in Lei Ya's attitude, and he was quite satisfied with it.
If Lei Ya was such a righteous cultivator, then informing him of certain matters concerning demons would bring only benefits and no harm. It might not be a bad thing.
Most importantly, Lei Ya was a cultivator of Kunlun Prefecture. Since Yang An did not know whether Kunlun Prefecture currently harbored any cultivators tainted by foul qi, if Lei Ya knew this information, he might be able to uncover something within Kunlun Prefecture ahead of time.

Lei Ya nodded gravely. This was indeed a very important piece of information to him.
Outer-Realm Demons had not been entirely absent before, but their numbers had been so few
