Diary, Interrogation, The Demoness's Conditions!

The Diary has been published again.

In the Azure Mystic Immortal Mansion, Shentu Lie stared at the distant light screen, his eyes twitching and his face darkening.

He thought to himself, "Desolate Heavenly Emperor, you'd better not try anything funny..."

A flicker of excitement crossed Shen Baixiu's eyes as he smiled and comforted him, "Brother, it's alright, all of that is in the past."

Shentu Lie gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "What's so important about that?"

He just couldn't swallow his anger.

However, the thought that the Immortal Realm had returned and the Desolate Heavenly Emperor could no longer hide, and that he could soon avenge his great grudge, came to mind.

Shentu Lie's expression softened somewhat, and he let out a long breath.

"What's meant to happen will happen!"

At this moment, lines of text slowly appeared on the light screen...

Page 65 of the Diary of the Immortal Great Emperor:

[Difficult to handle!]

[Another two months have passed, and the Lord of the Punishment Hall is still imprisoned in my palace.]

Her sudden disappearance has also attracted the attention of some high-ranking members of the Extreme Ice Immortal Palace, who have dispatched disciples to search for her, but so far it hasn't caused too much of a stir.

[This can't go on forever; we have to hand her over eventually. But I'll only hand her over to Han Xingmian. This is also a good opportunity to get in touch with her.]

[During this period of time...]

[I then subjected her to repeated, intensive interrogations, attempting to break down her psychological defenses through both physical and mental pressure.]

[What about Ice-Fire Cage, Water and Fire Purgatory, Azure Dragon Emerging from the Sea, Fairy Scattering Flowers, Soul-Suppressing Ding, One Sword Piercing the Sky...]

[She tried all these methods, but none of them worked. She silently gritted her teeth and endured it all; her willpower and perseverance were truly admirable.]

[In the end, she even got used to it.]

For a fleeting moment, I wanted to just kill him!

[But upon closer reflection, killing her would cut off the trail, making it far less useful than keeping her alive. Besides, she is, after all, the Master of Punishments at the Extreme Ice Immortal Palace; it's not my place to purge her.]

[For now, it's best not to let such a trivial matter cause a rift with Han Xingmian.]

[Never mind!]

[Let's wait until Han Xingmian emerges from seclusion before handing her over; let the others have a headache.]

[After two months of continuous interrogation, I'm a bit tired and fed up... I went to the Ice Spirit Hall of the Celestial Palace and exchanged a lot of spiritual herbs to replenish myself.]

[Then, another relaxing and pleasant time was spent.]

[He spends his days repairing the grand formation and teaching cultivation to the younger generation of disciples; life is endlessly enjoyable.]

[Unbeknownst to me, so much time has passed since I left Nine Provinces; decades have flown by.]

[I wonder how Ruoyu and Little Tyrannosaurus are doing now? Oh right, I'm almost done collecting all the materials for the Black Silk, hehehe...]

[Once I finish this job, I'll see if I can find some time to go back and visit.]

[Give them a surprise!]

Finally, after some time, Han Xingmian emerged from seclusion.

[Sigh, by then the flowers have all withered!]

[However, it's a bit troublesome. To see this female demon, I actually need to make an appointment in advance. What a display of official power!]

[There was no other way; I had to apply immediately, fearing she might go into seclusion again in a few days, and I didn't know how long I would have to wait.]

[After a few more days, news finally came.]

[I have a rough idea why Han Xingmian emerged from seclusion. After all, the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall disappeared without leaving any message, which is no small matter and requires urgent notification to the Palace Master.]

[Unbeknownst to her, she had already been captured by me and imprisoned in the palace.]

[Since I don't know if there are any accomplices in the Extreme Ice Immortal Palace, I can only speak directly to Han Xingmian.]

This will be our shared secret...

[As long as this secret exists, we'll have more contact, and then... anything is possible!]

[Hehehe!]

That day, I took a shower, dressed up carefully, and went to meet the female demon.

[That was deep within the celestial palace, in an incomparably luxurious hall.]

[I looked at the luxurious scene in the main hall, my expression unchanged, but I was still somewhat surprised. This female demon was truly extravagant; she was definitely a wealthy woman who cultivated immortality.]

[At that time, Han Xingmian was wearing a fiery red long dress, reclining on a high bench, her eyes alluring and languid, giving off an incredibly passionate feeling.]

[This fiery temperament seems somewhat contradictory to the identity of the master of the celestial palace, but it must be said...]

[I like!]

[I thought to myself, could it be that this she-devil has really taken a liking to me? Her eyes are clearly filled with flirtatious glances!]

[Ahem! Let's get back to the main topic.]

[Han Xingmian glanced at me lazily and asked directly what I wanted to see her about. Her tone seemed casual and somewhat indifferent; I knew she was probably too shy to reveal her true feelings.]

[I gave a cold laugh, and immediately unleashed my ultimate move!]

[Tell her directly that I've captured the Lord of the Punishment Hall and he's currently imprisoned in my palace!]

[Haha, I almost thought to myself, "You, the palace master, also obediently surrendered..."]

[Han Xingmian was shocked upon hearing this. A surge of killing intent erupted from him, and his body tensed instantly. Almost immediately, he prepared to attack me.]

[It must be said, this female demon is quite vigilant.]

She demanded a reasonable explanation!

[I wasn't flustered at all. I took out the prepared recording stone and then briefly explained the whole story.]

[It took about an hour.]

[After reading the inscription on the memorial stone, Han Xingmian fell silent, his expression growing increasingly grim.]

[I can understand how she felt at that time. For the Master of the Punishment Hall, one of the core figures of the Immortal Palace, to be a spy was an utter failure for her.]

[This would certainly be difficult for a proud and self-important person to accept.]

[Han Xingmian took a long time to recover before looking at me again, her eyes still cold. She questioned me again about who I was and what my purpose was in entering the Extreme Ice Immortal Palace.]

[Actually, what she did was quite normal...]

[In Han Xingmian's eyes, I definitely don't trust her much, after all, my origins are unknown, but she didn't expect that I would give her such a surprise so soon after I arrived!]

[Directly expose the master of the Punishment Hall, this major traitor.]

[She must have been worried then that the Master of the Punishment Hall was a spy sent by someone else, and what about me? Could I be one too? Otherwise, what a coincidence!]

[However, I was also a little angry at the time...]

[Damn it!]

[I almost got into a fight with her. I risked my life to catch the spy, and then silently spent months interrogating him. How much sweat and toil did I put in?]

[Not only did you not reward me, you even offered some small token of appreciation, and now you're questioning me?]

[Cough--]

[The situation was somewhat complicated at the time. In short, after some debate, I persuaded Han Xingmian, and I told her my true purpose for coming: to obtain the secret techniques of the Mudball Ancestral Palace.]

I thought she would definitely refuse...

[Little did I know, after pondering for a long time, the way Han Xingmian looked at me changed!]

She agreed, but on conditions!

[Ugh, I'm a little thirsty. I'll go get myself a Milk Tea. As for the conditions, I'll figure it out next time.]

That's all for today!

This Diary entry ends here. It's quite long, but the content is rather extensive and disorganized.

Azure Mystic Immortal Mansion.

After reading the contents of the Diary, Shentu Lie's face turned ashen, and his whole body trembled slightly.

His worst fears came true.

"This..."

"What Ice-Fire Cage, azure dragon emerging from the sea, a fairy scattering flowers, a soul-suppressing spell, a sword piercing the sky..."

"These Ya Rou junior sisters actually endured it all? Silently gritting their teeth and bearing all of this?"

Shentu Lie muttered to himself, "What kind of mess of interrogation methods are these?"

That sounds terrifying!

However, this Diary also confirmed one thing for him: his junior sister was indeed still alive!
