The Hair Bizarre felt the Wicked Flame continuously burning his body. In just a short time, he had died countless times.

Death and resurrection were a cycle, endless and unceasing. The claim that he wasn't a villain held no persuasive power whatsoever... There was no more evil man in the world than him!!!

Jia Ren wasn't worried about the Hair Bizarre and the Eye Bizarre conspiring to exchange information. Each level of the Demon-Sealing Tower was isolated, preventing even the slightest sound from passing through. The Demon Monk had no idea that a new cohort had joined the Bizarre Alliance, let alone being able to communicate.

"The Northern Envoy Eminent leaked information to you?!"

Aside from those who had already successfully used the Puppet Reincarnation Body, few knew about the Sinful Bloodline. As for those who had failed... they were long dead.

Perhaps, desperate to escape the Demon-Sealing Tower—that tower of despair—he clung to the belief that the Northern Envoy Eminent had truly leaked the information, leaving no room for doubt.

The Hair Bizarre dared not hide anything and replied honestly, "Sinful Denizens is the term used by people from the Mysterious Realm for them. I'm not clear on the connection between Sinful Blood and Bizarre Demons."

"As long as a Cultivator implants a small amount of Sinful Blood within themselves, they can greatly increase the success rate of seizing a Puppet Reincarnation Body."

"The purer the Sinful Blood, the higher the success rate."

What was the connection between the Sinful Denizens and Bizarre Demons? Why did their bloodline possess such unbelievable power?!

"Does the Bizarre Alliance have many Sinful Denizens?"

Jia Ren already had an inkling. If there were many Sinful Denizens, the Bizarre Alliance would have far more Bizarre People, greatly exceeding its current scale. If they were strong enough, why would they continue to lurk in the shadows and cause trouble?

"There is only one Sinful Denizen, who is currently the Alliance Hierarch of the Bizarre Alliance. Limited by the restrictions of this world, he can only reach the Half-Step Divinity Transformation Stage."

"A great deal of effort was spent to smuggle the Chief Alliance Leader into the Sealed Land; he is also the Bizarre Alliance's hope."

This world also has cultivation restrictions? The peak is only the Half-Step Divinity Transformation Stage? The Sinful Denizen was smuggled into the Sealed Land? This fellow has revealed an astonishing amount of information!

Jia Ren hadn't expected this world to have Realm suppression, limiting cultivators to a maximum of the Half-Step Divinity Transformation Stage.

What about the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators from the Four Desolations Domain? How did they reach their current cultivation? Could it be that, like Wang Fugui, they all came from the Mysterious Realm?! That had to be the only possibility.

The strongest factions in this world were all backed by the Mysterious Realm, which seized the opportunity to control all factions and ensure they remained under its thumb.

What was the Mysterious Realm's purpose in doing all this? The words 'Sealed Land' were the answer!

In an instant, the fog lifted, and Jia Ren's mind became clear. No wonder the Mysterious Realm had no Bizarre Demons. Perhaps all of them had been sent to this world—the place the Mysterious Realm proclaimed as the Sealed Land.

The Magic Artifacts and Magical Treasures used to seal Bizarre Demons all had time limits; they couldn't imprison them forever. Every year, some Bizarre Demons would break their seals, and some people would maliciously break seals to release them. Bizarre Demons emerged one after another; the Bizarre Demon scourge was an eternally unsolvable problem. Only by sending them to a dedicated Sealed Land and entrusting their handling to specific individuals could this problem be permanently resolved. The trouble of Bizarre Demon outbreaks was left for the people of the Sealed Land to worry about and solve.

Wang Fugui and the Divine Transformation Sects from the Four Desolations Domain were Guardians, specifically responsible for handling this land's Bizarre Demon scourge and preventing seals from being broken.

This move was truly clever! Why hadn't Wang Fugui told him? Was he afraid Jia Ren wouldn't be able to accept it?

Anyone who discovered they had always been trapped in a cage, and that the Bizarre Demon scourge was a disaster inflicted upon them by others, would find it hard to accept. They might even become resentful and seek revenge against the Xuan Realm Cultivators. As long as one managed to enter the Mysterious Realm alive, even if their resentment didn't vanish completely, it would at least diminish significantly.

And what was this Great Bizarre Demon Tide that occurred once every ten thousand years?! Could it be related to the Mysterious Realm?!

"What is this Great Bizarre Demon Tide that occurs once every ten thousand years?"

Now, there was a suitable target who should know the truth.

The Hair Bizarre seemed to realize something and exclaimed, "The Northern Envoy Eminent didn't tell you? It seems you were tricking me to get information!"

He reacted instantly and fell silent.

"As long as you tell me the truth, I can consider letting you leave the Demon-Sealing Tower."

"I, Zhen Yi, am a man of my word; I always keep my promises!"

The Hair Bizarre couldn't hold back any longer. He didn't want to stay in this hellish place for another moment. If there were truly a chance to leave, he had to seize it no matter what.

"Swear an oath on the Oath Bizarre to let me go without sealing me again, and I'll believe you!"

Oath Bizarre? Such a Bizarre Demon actually existed?

The Oath Bizarre's abilities were unknown. He wouldn't risk swearing an oath; what if it was a huge trap? Jia Ren recalled the Qingxi Notes he had obtained much earlier, which described a type of Bizarre Demon that grew stronger simply by having its name known. It was probably that type of Bizarre Demon. The Oath Bizarre might not have a physical form and could be omnipresent... Taking an oath might be a huge trap. He absolutely couldn't shackle himself and invite trouble.

Jia Ren had received the most valuable information; other information was not worth the risk.

"If you aren't willing to talk, someone else will be."

"You don't think you're the only one sealed in the Demon-Sealing Tower, do you?"

"There's also that mountain-of-flesh fellow! I'm also planning to go to your stronghold to capture more people. More and more Bizarre People will be entering in the future."

"It won't be difficult for me to get the information I want."

"If your answer satisfies me, it's not impossible that I'll let you leave."

Jia Ren was trying to bluff information out of him. He had already gathered a fair amount; with a little time, he could piece together the answers himself. If he could get the information from this person, that would be even better.

The Hair Bizarre froze for a moment, inwardly cursing himself for carelessly revealing the most valuable information.

Seeing Jia Ren about to leave, he finally said, "I'll tell you the truth about this world."

"The Mysterious Realm is not a pure land; it's impossible for there to be no Bizarre Demons."

"The number of Bizarre Demons in the Mysterious Realm is dozens of times smaller than in the Sealed Land. They have specialized Cultivators to clear out and seal Bizarre Demons, which are then transported to the Sealed Land at designated times."

"A minor occurrence every thousand years, a major one every ten thousand years."

"Every ten thousand years, an especially large number of Bizarre Demons are born. Coupled with some Bizarre Demons breaking their seals, a massive number will inevitably escape."

"That's the origin of the Great Bizarre Demon Tide."

Jia Ren had already harbored suspicions, but hearing this confirmation still sent a chill down his spine. The people of the Mysterious Realm were truly too vicious! Vast numbers of Bizarre Demons were sent to the Sealed Land. Once they broke free, who could possibly deal with them?! The suffering that the Mysterious Realm should have borne was all dumped onto the ordinary Cultivators of the Sealed Land. This tactic was exceedingly cruel and malicious. Didn't they realize what kind of price the people of the Sealed Land would have to pay for this?

"Aren't they afraid that the mortals and Cultivators of the Sealed Land will all perish?"

When the Great Bizarre Demon Tide erupted, even Cultivators struggled to resist, let alone mortals. Countless lives would be lost. It wouldn't be surprising if all mortals and Cultivators in this realm perished. If everyone died, who would be left to deal with the Bizarre Demon scourge?!

"Heh heh, that's where you're clueless!"

"There's an astounding number of mortals and Cultivators in the Mysterious Realm. If those in the Sealed Land perish, they just send another batch over."

"They are oblivious, thinking they're being sent to a Blessed Land of Cave Heavens. They eagerly sign up, but once they enter the Sealed Land, finding a way out becomes difficult."

"Faced with the omnipresent threat of Bizarre Demons, if you don't deal with them, they will deal with you."

"You can only blame yourselves in the Sealed Land for not working hard enough. If you dedicated all your energy to sealing and guarding the Bizarre Demons, how could you be affected by them?"

"Let others deal with the trouble; they can rest easy."

"This is how those supposedly enlightened High-Order Cultivators behave—sanctimonious on the surface, but utterly sickening in reality!"

"Otherwise, why are there an unending stream of Bizarre Alliance Cultivators, and so many High-Order Cultivators among them? Many are aware of the truth, unwilling to accept their predetermined fate, and desperate to break free from this cage."

"If there truly was a way out, besides a few lunatics, how many would willingly transform themselves into something neither human nor Bizarre Demon?!"

"We only wish to survive, what's wrong with that?!"

By the end of his speech, the Hair Bizarre's voice was thick with resentment. He felt an overwhelming urge to fight his way into the Mysterious Realm and slaughter everyone who had condemned them to this hell. Anyone in such a situation would feel despair and helplessness. To survive, to exact revenge on their tormentors, they didn't hesitate to become detestable Bizarre Demons, loathed by humans and spirits alike.

Jia Ren fell into silence and did not respond for a long time. If he were in their shoes, knowing the truth of this world and having no way out of the Sealed Land, he too might have resorted to extreme measures.

The Bizarre Demon scourge should have been shouldered by all Cultivators. The High-Order Cultivators of the Mysterious Realm were stronger; it would have been easier for them to resolve it. Ultimately, those in power, unwilling to be affected themselves, dumped the entire problem onto others. It ended up becoming the burden of a select few. These Low-Order Cultivators bore the heavy burden, while the Cultivators of the Mysterious Realm lived in tranquility.

"Join the Bizarre Alliance, and escape this prison with us!"

He extended an invitation to Jia Ren with sincerity.

Jia Ren gave no response. He was not like the Bizarre Alliance Cultivators; he still had ways out. Wang Fugui was one path. The Profound Realm Key was a second. The World-Devouring Sentinel was a third.

What good would joining the Bizarre Alliance do? Even if he became a Bizarre Demon, could he really break out of the Sealed Land?! If he truly became a Bizarre Demon and entered the Mysterious Realm, he would be hunted by everyone. He might even encounter some mighty figure from the Mysterious Realm who could seal him with a mere flick of their wrist and send him back to the Sealed Land.

"The path of Bizarre Cultivators is not the one I choose. Our paths diverge; we cannot plot together."

"Apart from this, is there any other information about the Mysterious Realm?"

The subsequent information was far less critical than what he had just learned, mostly of little value.

"Can't you understand me and let me go?" The Hair Bizarre's tone carried a plea.

Was he switching to playing the victim now? Not just nominally pitiful, but truly wretched. If one were overcome with compassion, they might actually grant the Hair Bizarre's wish and release him.

What would be the consequences of letting the Hair Bizarre leave? Once he regained his freedom, he would undoubtedly divulge the information to the Bizarre Alliance Cultivators at the earliest opportunity. Jia Ren wouldn't just become a major enemy of Bizarre Demons; he'd become a critical threat to the Bizarre Alliance Cultivators. They would do everything in their power to destroy his Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure. And the best way to prevent the creation of similar Magical Treasures would be to bury the creator along with it.

"Our stances are different. I cannot possibly let you leave."

Jia Ren sympathized with his plight, but that didn't mean he would make his own life more difficult. It was better to let him remain in the Demon-Sealing Tower Treasure, continuing to contribute his power to it!
