Chapter 180: Diary, Interrogation, and the Demoness’s Conditions!

The diary was released once again.

At the Azure Mystic Celestial Mansion, Shen Tu Lie watched the distant screen with his eyes twitching and a gloomy expression on his face.

In his heart, he thought to himself, “Desolate Heaven Emperor, you’d better not be playing any tricks…”

Beside him, Shen Baixiu’s eyes flickered with excitement as he comforted, “Brother, don’t worry. These are all things from the past.”

Shen Tu Lie clenched his teeth and coldly snorted, what more was there to worry about?

He just couldn’t swallow this humiliation.

But thinking it over, the Immortal Realm had returned, and the Desolate Heaven Emperor wouldn’t be able to hide for much longer. He would soon have his revenge.

Shen Tu Lie’s expression eased slightly, exhaling deeply.

“What has to come will come!”

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

Eternal Emperor’s Diary, Page 65:

[Difficult!]

[Another two months have passed, and the Punishment Hall Master is still locked in my palace.]

[Her sudden disappearance also drew the attention of some high-ranking officials at the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace. They sent disciples to search for her, but so far, no major commotion has been caused.]

[Continuing like this is definitely not an option; I must eventually hand her over, but only to Han Xingmian. This is also a good opportunity to interact with her.]

[During this time…]

[I interrogated her intensively, attempting to break down her psychological defenses both physically and mentally.]

[From ice-fire cages, water-fire infernos, azure dragons emerging from the sea, celestial fairies scattering flowers, soul-anchoring needles, to breaking through the heavens with one sword…]

[None of these techniques worked; she silently endured everything, truly showing steadfast willpower. I even began to admire her.]

[Eventually, she even grew accustomed to it.]

[There was a moment when I considered killing her!]

[But after careful consideration, killing her would cut off the trail, leaving me with nothing. Besides, she is the Punishment Hall Master of the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace; cleaning up her mess is not my responsibility.]

[For now, it’s best not to create any rifts with Han Xingmian over such trivial matters.]

[Forget it!]

[Wait until Han Xingmian comes out of seclusion and hand her over, let others deal with the headache.]

[After two months of continuous interrogation, I was exhausted and tired… I needed to replenish myself with spirit medicines at the Ice Spirit Hall of the Immortal Palace.]

[Following that, I spent some time in a relaxed and comfortable period.]

[On a daily basis, I cultivated great formations, taught the younger generation how to practice, and lived a carefree life.]

[Unknowingly, I had been away from the Nine States for so long, decades passed in a blink.]

[I wonder how Ruo Yu and Little Furious Dragon are doing? Oh right, I’m almost finished gathering the materials for the black silk. Hehe…]

[Once I finish this task, maybe I can find some time to go back and surprise them.]

[Give them a shock!]

[Finally, after some time, Han Xingmian came out of seclusion.]

[Sigh, waiting is like watching the flowers wither!]

[However, it’s a bit troublesome; to see this demoness, I actually need to make an appointment first, what a big shot she is!]

[There’s no choice; I applied immediately, fearing she might close herself off again, not knowing when I could see her next.]

[After waiting for a few days, news finally came.]

[I guessed why Han Xingmian emerged from seclusion; after all, the Punishment Hall Master vanished without a trace, which is no small matter. It must be urgently reported to the palace lord.]

[Little did she know, she had already been captured by me and imprisoned in the palace.]

[Not knowing if there were still accomplices in the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace, I could only tell Han Xingmian.]

[This will be our secret…]

[As long as this secret exists, our interactions will increase, and then… anything is possible!]

[Hehe!]

[That day, I took a bath, dressed up nicely, and went to meet the demoness.]

[It was deep within the Immortal Palace, in an incredibly luxurious grand hall.]

[I looked at the luxurious scene in the hall without changing my expression, but inside, I was quite surprised. This demoness was truly extravagant, a wealthy cultivator for sure.]

[At that time, Han Xingmian wore a fiery red dress, lounging on a high-backed chair, her eyes seductive and lazy, giving an overwhelming sense of heat.]

[This fiery temperament seemed contradictory to her status as the palace master, but I had to admit…]

[I liked it!]

[In my mind, could it be that this demoness really likes me? Her gaze clearly held hidden admiration.]

[Cough! Back to the point.]

[Han Xingmian lazily glanced at me and directly asked what I wanted. Her tone seemed casual but was slightly indifferent. I knew she wouldn’t easily reveal her true feelings.]

[I laughed coldly and got straight to the point!]

[I told her directly that the Punishment Hall Master had been apprehended and was currently imprisoned in my palace!]

[Haha, I nearly said, you should just surrender yourself…]

[Han Xingmian was greatly alarmed, her intense murderous intent surged, and her body tensed instantly, ready to attack me.]

[I must say, this demoness was quite vigilant.]

[She demanded a reasonable explanation!]

[I wasn’t worried at all; I took out the prepared recording stone and explained the whole situation briefly.]

[It took about an hour.]

[Han Xingmian read the content on the recording stone and fell silent, her expression increasingly grim.]

[I understood her feelings; the Punishment Hall Master was a core figure of the Immortal Palace, and finding out she was a spy was a significant failure for her.]

[For someone who prides herself highly, this must have been hard to accept.]

[Han Xingmian calmed down after a while and looked at me again, her eyes still icy. She questioned who I was and what my purpose was in entering the Extreme Ice Celestial Palace.]

[Her reaction was normal…]

[To Han Xingmian, she probably didn’t trust me since my origins were unclear, but she hadn’t expected me to surprise her so quickly!]

[Directly exposing the Punishment Hall Master as a big spy.]

[She must have been worried that the Punishment Hall Master was a spy sent by someone else, and what about me? Could I be one too? Such coincidences are unlikely.]

[However, I was a bit angry…]

[F*ck!]

[I nearly got into a fight with her. I risked my life to catch the spy and interrogated her for months, putting in so much effort.]

[Without any reward or even a thank you, she questioned me?]

[Cough—]

[The situation was complicated at the time. After a debate, I convinced Han Xingmian, and I told her the real reason for my visit—to learn the secret arts of the Ancestral Palace of the Brain Marrow.]

[I thought she would surely refuse…]

[Unexpectedly, after much contemplation, her gaze towards me changed!]

[She agreed, but with conditions!]

[Ah, I’m a bit thirsty, I’ll go get a cup of milk tea first. The conditions will be discussed next time.]

[I’ll stop here for today!]

This entry in the diary ended here, it was quite long, but the content was plentiful and disorganized.

Azure Mystic Celestial Mansion.

Shen Tu Lie’s face turned pale as he read the contents of the diary, trembling all over.

His greatest fear had come true.

“This…”

“What about the ice-fire cage, azure dragon emerging from the sea, celestial fairies scattering flowers, soul-anchoring needles, and breaking through the heavens with one sword…”

“Did Senior Sister Ya Rou endure all of these? Endured silently and with gritted teeth?”

Shen Tu Lie muttered softly, these were all sorts of strange interrogation methods.

They sounded terrifying!

However, this diary confirmed one thing for him: his senior sister was indeed still alive!
