If the initial intelligence had revealed Alaric Ye's true identity, the Shura King would certainly have hesitated to make enemies of the two human Golden Elixir experts and would not have sent troops to hunt down and capture Alaric Ye.

Elder Sun, who had lived for hundreds of years, was quite renowned within the Earthly Demon tribe. He had once led a swarm of insects to fight his way through the subterranean Shura City and then escaped the pursuit of an Elemental Infant-level Earthly Demon, safely returning to the surface.

In that battle, three Golden Elixir Shura Kings were killed, and many reports suggested that the Shura King was quite wary of him.

As for if the Shura King were to blame the Demonic Path Alliance for this intelligence oversight, the alliance could easily claim that Alaric Ye's identity was truly secretive and that this crucial intelligence had only just been discovered, not intentionally withheld.
