Li Yan had deliberately pointed the clues toward the Violet Flame Devil Lord and his wife, not merely because their obvious characteristics would make Su Hong think of them the moment she saw devilish qi.
Another reason, and a key factor Li Yan had considered, was how he would shake off the person secretly following him.
That person was different from those secretly protecting Su Hong. Those protecting Su Hong were not afraid of being discovered; they were simply carrying out their duties.
But the person secretly tailing him was likely waiting for an opportunity to do something to him.
Yet no matter what the other party intended, as long as Su Hong still did not know the chief altar master's intentions, that tracking cultivator definitely would not want anyone to see him.

No matter which of those two situations arose, as long as he moved together with those people, the person secretly following him would definitely not dare come close and could only trail them from afar.
If that person discovered the presence of an ultimate expert, he might even temporarily abandon the pursuit, because Li Yan's reason had been perfectly clear: he was going to capture someone.
