Through the detection of his sword heart, Meng Bai discovered that all the staff members of the Floating Life Pavilion—whether clerks, chefs, waiters, or managers—had been corrupted by demonic influence.
The demonic intent within their bodies lay deeply dormant. By day, these corrupted individuals were indistinguishable from ordinary people. Had Meng Bai's sword heart power not reached the pinnacle of perceiving the infinitesimal, he would never have been able to detect them.
"Although these people are already corrupted, there is no Pale Power attached to them. The true source of the demonic qi is deep beneath the Floating Life Pavilion, and furthermore, there seems to be a spiritual flower down below."
