Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?
Although I know that Long Buji has great talent, Shi Mo is already a royal-level powerhouse.
If Long Buji remembers correctly, he only broke through to the Junxuan Realm a few months ago. It just doesn't seem possible!
"Hmph, you should know what happens when you deceive us."
Dean Xia narrowed his eyes and coldly swept his gaze over the prisoners.
"Absolutely true."
All the prisoners nodded in unison, "Even if we had a hundred lives, we wouldn't dare to lie to you."
"That's true."
Dean Xia was quite confident in his prestige within the academy.
"However, how could this stone demon, which was under such tight guard, have escaped?"
Liang Shucheng was very puzzled. "Moreover, we have specially set up a restriction that can only be opened from the outside, as well as a cultivation blockade chain. If no one helps him open the door, it is absolutely impossible for him to come out."
"Have you seen anyone come here?"
Dean Xia nodded slightly, then turned to the prisoners and said, "If you provide any useful clues, we may consider reducing your sentences."
"I saw it!"
As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately raised their hand and shouted, "Today I saw Instructor Qiu Hongxing from the inner sect go to cell number one, but I don't know anything else."
"Yes, yes, we've seen it too."
The other prisoners nodded in agreement.
"Qiu Hongxing, if it's him, then it really is possible."
Upon hearing this, Liang Shucheng and Dean Xia exchanged a glance, their eyes showing seriousness. "However, although Qiu Hongxing is a bit narrow-minded, he is not the kind of person who would openly commit such an illegal act. You know, with his talent, he still has a promising future."
"Don't forget the bet he made that day," Dean Xia said calmly.
"You mean, he also felt he wouldn't win, so he took the risk of striking first?"
Liang Shucheng frowned slightly. "But if that were the case, he had absolutely no intention of accepting such a bet at the time."
"Yes, this matter does indeed require further investigation."
Dean Xia's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at the prisoners and said, "You have done well. I will keep my promise to you."
After saying that, he took Liang Shucheng and Long Buji and prepared to leave.
"Um, Dean."
Just then, the prisoners who had been hesitant to speak finally couldn't help but say, "He... he picked up something when he killed the stone golem."
"What is that?"
Upon hearing this, Dean Xia turned around and asked, puzzled.
"We don't know either, but it must be something very powerful."
One of the prisoners chimed in, “We’ve heard that the Stone Demon is so powerful because of some extraordinary encounter, so we suspect that the divine object the Stone Demon obtained was that.”
"Yes, Dean, that thing must be very powerful. Do you want to bring it back?"
The prisoner said tentatively, "I'm afraid it wouldn't be good to have something like that on a trainee."
"Old Xia, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Shucheng turned to look at Dean Xia with a questioning expression.
"Of course we must take it back."
Dean Xia's face was stern. "Take him back, and he must hand over the items."
"Um."
Seeing Dean Xia's attitude, Liang Shucheng was clearly taken aback, and then nodded with a puzzled look.
"You must keep this matter a secret."
After Dean Xia finished speaking, he turned to look at the prisoners and said, "I'm going to erase this part of your memories. Do you have any objections?"
