Han Shuo knew full well that Saras would search for him at any cost. As an unusual place, Demon-Hidden Valley was unlikely to escape Saras's notice. Sooner or later, he would find it.
Han Shuo understood both Saras's strength and Demon-Hidden Valley's defenses very well. He knew the valley might hold Saras off for a while, but it certainly could not kill him.

On a circular platform in the center of Demon-Hidden Valley was an image of the Myriad Demon Cauldron. Wisps of wondrous light shimmered across the lifelike image, while the divine souls of Saras's followers who had died in the valley turned into trails of smoke and drifted into it.
