"Answer my questions truthfully," the sect master said as the battle array landed on Alex. "Should you lie or try to fight back, our conversation will end here, and we will kill you."
Alex felt the effects of the array on him. 'A truth-seeking formation??' he thought. He remembered hearing about something similar when those few Endless Night sect members were escorting him to their sect. He was supposed to be tested against a formation that sought truth, but he had always thought of them as formations carved onto the metal, not formations that were created through a battle array.
'I can't even call it a battle array anymore,' Alex thought. 'It's just a regular array.'
These people were using their pure Intent on him to try and find the truth. This was different from pills. He couldn't get his way out of this one so easily.
If he were to fight back against this array, these people would know.
He had to tell the truth.
