Before Baili Jing underwent his tribulation, he had vaguely sensed that something was about to happen, so he was not particularly surprised.
The people from the Six Great Sects exchanged glances, then hurried forward with solemn expressions to explain.
"Immortal Venerable Baili, we meant no offense. It's just that rumors have been spreading lately that Zhong Lihan was transformed from your Inner Demon, and that he was also the Demon Venerable of the Demon Realm.
They said that the reason he infiltrated the Cultivation World was to gather information and prepare to lead the Demon Race's army in invading the human world."

Even if his physical body was destroyed, he would be reborn in the Demon Realm Abyss.
"Th-this... We haven't." The person who had spoken was stumped by the question.
