In West Mountain City, there was a solitary courtyard.
Ever since the battle had ended, Zhou Bai had been invited to this place.
While it could not really be considered detention—he was well-fed and taken care of—it essentially amounted to keeping Zhou Bai here and not letting him go out, which was basically soft-imprisonment.
However, Zhou Bai also understood the concerns of humanity; his successive experiences in the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Zone were incredibly fantastic, and his last action of repelling the Heavenly Demon on the battlefield was too shocking.
These circumstances inevitably cast suspicion on Zhou Bai, as there were doubts about his allegiance with the Heavenly Demon and the possibility of anomaly.
Although Dao School guaranteed his integrity unequivocally, necessary tests were still required. It was impossible to act as if nothing had happened and just let Zhou Bai go.
