"strangeness…"
However, after Qiu Hongxing had been soaking in the purification pool for a while, Dean Xia and the others all showed puzzled expressions.
Because the purification pool showed no change whatsoever.
If the other party has an aura of evil, the surrounding water in the purification pool will instantly turn black.
No matter how severe your infection is, even the slightest trace will be detected immediately.
However, there wasn't a single mark on Qiu Hongxing's body!
"N-nothing...it's nothing..."
Even Qiu Hongxing was quite surprised. He was certain that the person he had come into contact with was a demon, but the purification pool failed to detect it.
Thinking about this, Qiu Hongxing suddenly felt a sharp tremor in his heart as he realized a certain possibility.
"Could it be that he is actually..."
"Bring him up!"
While Qiu Hongxing was still lost in thought, Liang Shucheng gave the order again, "Put it on him."
Soon, someone took out something and tried to put it on Qiu Hongxing's head.
The thing resembled a straw hat, but it emitted a faint black aura.
"The Soul-Searching Hat!"
Upon seeing this, Qiu Hongxing's eyes widened, and he immediately struggled and shouted, "You surnamed Xia, you claim to be a righteous person, yet you keep such an evil thing!"
The so-called soul search is the process of searching a person's soul to explore their past memories.
Such actions are universally condemned because the methods used are undeniably cruel and inhumane.
The Soul-Searching Hat is woven from the Evil-Smelling Grass, which grows only in extremely yin places. It has the effect of bewitching the mind, and with the addition of the artifact's patterns, it possesses the power to search for souls.
The first inventor of this Soul-Searching Hat was actually a member of the Blood-Clad Alliance, and it was once destroyed.
However, although such things are evil, they are also really useful in some ways. Many people have kept some, and even the method of making them has been deciphered.
"Hmph, why bother with justice when dealing with an evil person like you?"
Liang Shucheng remained calm. "Don't think we don't know. You've long been a lackey of the evil spirits, haven't you?"
"Can't you tell from the purification pool just now whether I am or not?"
As Qiu Hongxing spoke, he discreetly fastened his cuff, where the bottle the man had given him earlier lay. “You all know the dangers of soul searching. One wrong move and you’ll become an idiot. You’re trying to kill people like dirt!”
"Don't worry, if you really become an idiot, the academy will support you for life."
Faced with Qiu Hongxing's hysteria, Dean Xia remained calm, said something, and nodded slightly to his subordinates, "Begin."
"You forced me to this!"
Qiu Hongxing, naturally, could no longer sit idly by and wait for his death. With a roar, he crushed the bottle in his palm.
"Whoosh..."
In an instant, a massive black aura burst forth from the bottle, splitting into more than a dozen streams that surged toward the people around them.
"ah!"
Those disciples with lower cultivation levels were instantly invaded by the evil spirits and screamed in agony.
"Damn it, it's a demon!"
Upon seeing this, Liang Shucheng exclaimed in surprise and immediately deployed protective measures for the prisoners.
"Qiu Hongxing!"
Dean Xia naturally activated his protective profound energy immediately, but his eyes were already filled with murderous intent as he looked at Qiu Hongxing. "You really have guts!"
"Hmph, if you people weren't so extraordinary, I wouldn't have done this!"
Qiu Hongxing stood up straight, limbs outstretched, awaiting the arrival of the evil spirits. "You want me dead? I'll make sure you don't get your way!"
