Ma Yingjun and Xiaojiu moved swiftly, covering the woman entirely in iron sheets in just a moment. They also tied her with wire, fearing she might break free, and worried that the fire might not reach her!

After completing this, Xiaojiu instructed the people outside to bring all the tools he had prepared.

Xiaojiu was undoubtedly trustworthy in his work; everything was arranged perfectly, including a stand to support the woman.

Then Xiaojiu had the woman thrown onto the iron stand and started a fire underneath.

Lian Xin observed everything, and at once, cold sweat began to uncontrollably pour from his body, and even his heart started to beat erratically.

If the roasting continued, the person would surely suffer immensely, even if alive, and most importantly, the piercing and scorching pain was unbearable for anyone.

"Marshal, I’ll talk, I’ll say everything..."

The woman’s hands and feet were tightly bound together, and after being placed on the stand, someone grabbed her firmly, rendering her unable to move at all.

If the fire ignited and the iron sheets turned red, the pain would definitely be as unbearable as heart-wrenching agony.

Thus, the woman began to panic and became scared.

But Ye Xunhuan showed no intention of stopping Xiaojiu.

This woman was the type who wouldn’t shed tears until she saw the coffin; unless she suffered, she wouldn’t comply, and Ye Xunhuan also intended to make an example of her!

The fire beneath the stand burned intensely, and soon enough, the iron sheets started to turn red-hot, transmitting intense heat to the woman’s body, causing her to emit gut-wrenching screams. Meanwhile, the scent of roasting flesh permeated the air.

In an instant, her face turned utterly pale, drenched in sweat, and her expression became even more contorted in agony, with relentless cries escaping her mouth.

Yet Ye Xunhuan remained completely unmoved, allowing Xiaojiu to continue the iron cage punishment!

Lian Xin trembled uncontrollably at the sight before him.

Even though the person above wasn’t him, the woman’s screams were enough to let Lian Xin understand the depth of her suffering.

If Ye Xunhuan did this to him...

With this thought, the fear on Lian Xin’s face intensified.

It was as if the fear had seeped into his bones and bloodstream, wholly indelible.

Lian Xin swallowed slightly, hurriedly addressing Ye Xunhuan, "Marshal, I... I just thought of something..."

Before Lian Xin could finish, Ye Xunhuan’s gaze fell upon him, "Thought of something?"

"Yes, yes, I did!"

"Speak up, don’t play tricks with me, or you’ll be the one up there!"

Ye Xunhuan pointed to the woman being roasted on the stand.

Lian Xin swallowed again, looking at Ye Xunhuan in fearful desperation, "I genuinely don’t know where my sister is. I truly don’t know what she looks like; these things I really cannot tell you, but I can tell you something else..."

"Speak!"

"My parents once researched some secrets of the Taiji Seal, and they seemed to have told my sister!" Lian Xin hurriedly said, "Moreover, my sister is stronger than I am; I’ve heard my mother say that if I were half as promising as my sister, we’d be the ultimate rulers..."

"What is your sister’s strength?"

"I don’t know!" Lian Xin shook his head in confusion, "But I can be sure she’s probably not much weaker than my mother!"

Ye Xunhuan’s expression changed slightly; he had once fought with the King and Queen of Charm and knew the Queen’s skills. Now, hearing Lian Xin say his sister was probably as strong as her mother, didn’t that mean she might have achieved Innate Great Perfection?

Possibly even the same as himself in Exteme Heaven.

After all, the King and Queen of Charm had unearthed some secrets of the Taiji Seal, and these secrets were known to Lian Xin’s sister.

Others might not know what the secrets within the Taiji Seal were, but Ye Xunhuan certainly did.

What exactly did Lian Xin’s sister know?

Whenever he thought about it, Ye Xunhuan’s heart would sink deeply.

"What else do you know?"

"The remnants of Shadow Charm have been unified by my sister and acknowledged her as queen in secret, and she’s waiting for a chance to rise again..."

Ye Xunhuan’s face darkened gradually. After killing the King and Queen of Charm, Ye Xunhuan hadn’t wiped out all the others in Shadow Charm.

After all, debts should be settled only by those at fault, and even if Ye Xunhuan wanted to kill, it wasn’t that simple. Their branches were too scattered everywhere.

Moreover, after Shadow Charm collapsed, they dispersed, and Ye Xunhuan didn’t bother with them.

At the time, he thought the King and Queen of Charm were dead; who in the dark underground world would want to avenge them?

But who would have thought that the daughter of the King and Queen of Charm would gather the remnants and fully unify them.

If this wasn’t Lian Xin’s sister, then soon there might be an eleventh ruler emerging in the underground world?

If Black Night was indeed Lian Xin’s sister, then...

"Anything else?"

"No, really, that’s everything I know!" Lian Xin hurriedly replied, "I really have told you everything..."

"Lian Xin, if I find out you’re hiding something, it won’t be just the iron cage punishment for you; I’ll have you skinned!" Ye Xunhuan said heavily!

"No... No!"

Ye Xunhuan snorted coldly, then turned his head to look at the woman, "Xiaojiu, throw her down!"

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Xiaojiu and Ma Yingjun immediately threw the woman off the iron stand and onto the ground, but no one dared to touch her!

At this moment, her body was covered in red-hot iron sheets; if touched, one’s hand would surely get burned.

Now the woman was barely conscious, breathing shallowly, seemingly unable to even muster the strength to wail.

"Xiaojiu, get some water and cool the iron sheets’ temperature!" Ye Xunhuan said, his face filled with cruelty.

Xiaojiu was speechless; this was cooling down, essentially making the woman experience what was called the extremes of hot and cold!

Nonetheless, Xiaojiu said nothing, immediately took Ma Yingjun and the others out.

Moments later, the group pulled a hose from outside and started showering water onto the woman!

As the water hit the iron sheets, a sizzling sound was heard, accompanied by rising smoke, causing the barely conscious woman to let out a scream like that of a slaughtered pig.

Shortly after, the iron sheets lost all heat under the dousing, yet Xiaojiu didn’t stop and continued showering water onto the woman!

"If you continue to keep silent, you’ll be put up there again!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "Tell me everything you know!"

After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, the woman slowly lifted her head, glaring at Ye Xunhuan with unprecedented venom in her eyes!
