The vicious gaze in the woman’s eyes seemed to be transmitted from hell itself, like a malicious ghost, evoking a chilling feeling.

In this moment, the woman wished she could tear Ye Xunhuan apart, eat his flesh, and drink his blood!

But beneath this sinister and venomous stare lay an undeniable hue of fear.

The taste of being roasted over the iron rack moments ago was undoubtedly the most brutal torture she had ever experienced.

It was a pain so piercing that living felt worse than dying.

In that moment, how she longed for Ye Xunhuan to end her misery and kill her!

Death seemed increasingly like a blissful thing to the woman.

But she also knew it was impossible; Ye Xunhuan would never let her die!

Facing the woman’s hideous expression, Ye Xunhuan snorted lightly, "What? Still want to continue?"

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, the woman involuntarily shivered!

Ye Xunhuan observed all of this carefully and softly said, "Speak up, don’t try to be stubborn!"

"I know you must have undergone some special training, but trust me, in my eyes those trainings are insignificant. If you still wish to try, I can change ways to torture you and see whether your stubbornness or the ancestors’ punishments are tougher!"

Sometimes Ye Xunhuan admired those who invented these punishments, thinking how perverted they must have been to come up with such methods.

Which also shows that humans are inherently a cruel animal.

The woman remained silent, staring at Ye Xunhuan, unsure of her own thoughts.

A moment later, the woman expelled a stifled breath and said, "Marshal, if I tell you, can you give me a quick death?"

"You can!" Ye Xunhuan immediately replied, "But if I discover you’re lying, you’ll suffer even more!"

The woman took a deep breath and slowly said, "Our leader indeed is named Black Night, same as our organization, but I don’t know who she really is!"

"All I can tell you is that she’s a woman."

"As for her relationship with Tian Sha, or whether there is one, I don’t know."

Ye Xunhuan pondered for a moment, thinking the woman was not deceiving him.

After all, it’s a personal matter, and if Black Night were really Tian Sha’s sister, she wouldn’t disclose it at all, lest it gives others a chance to threaten her, especially Ye Xunhuan.

"What else?"

Watching Ye Xunhuan’s calm face, the woman felt as if all her deepest secrets were exposed.

Ye Xunhuan seemed to have a Mind Reading Technique, effortlessly penetrating her innermost thoughts.

After a brief ponder, the woman slowly said, "Our leader occupied the Dark Council quickly due to someone!"

"Who?" Ye Xunhuan immediately asked.

"I don’t know who he is, but he’s likely someone like you and Blood Phoenix!" the woman truthfully said.

Upon hearing her words, Ye Xunhuan and Olivia’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.

Someone like them, then doesn’t it mean that there’s a ruler standing behind Black Night?

But which ruler exactly?

Moreover, how strong is Black Night’s power?

"How powerful is your leader?"

"I don’t know!" The woman shook her head and said, "Our leader rarely acts, but has never failed!"

"How would you fare against her?"

"Within ten moves, I’d die!" the woman confidently stated.

Hearing her words, Ye Xunhuan’s heart slightly trembled.

He knew the woman’s strength and also her outstanding ninjutsu, but if Black Night could still kill her within ten moves, then her strength must be at Innate Great Perfection.

Similar to what Tian Sha said about his sister.

"Continue!"

"Marshal, your Tai Chi Seal is something our leader desires. Now that she’s become a ruler, she will certainly come back more violently than Anthony!

"I don’t want to hear nonsense!" Ye Xunhuan snorted coldly.

Black Night targeting Ye Xunhuan was something Ye Xunhuan knew well and didn’t need this woman’s reminder.

The woman pondered slightly and continued, "Marshal, there’s really nothing more for me to say!"

"Really?" Ye Xunhuan sneered, "Shouldn’t you tell me who rescued Antonio back then?"

"Our leader!"

"What else?"

"We initially wanted to use Lin Zhennan against you, but neither Lin Zhennan nor the group from Shu Mountain could do anything to you!"

Hearing the woman’s words, all the unanswered questions Ye Xunhuan had were cleared up.

No wonder Lin Zhennan was hard to find back then; turns out he was protected by Black Night’s people.

"Marshal, I’ve told you everything, please keep your promise and give me a swift end!"

"Your status within Black Night?"

"Upper middle!" the woman said directly.

"So you’re quite familiar with Black Night then?" Ye Xunhuan slowly revealed a wicked smile.

Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan’s wicked smile, the woman’s heart quivered violently, "Marshal, what are you planning?"

"I think you’d be better off alive, helping me against Black Night. What do you think?"

"You..."

"Tell me all about Black Night’s people, including your headquarters and branches. If you dare hide anything, I’ll make you wish for death, and don’t think I’ll just continue with iron skirt punishment!" Ye Xunhuan said heavily, "I’ll make you suffer every single torture device!"

"Marshal, you break your word, you..."

"Didn’t your master ever tell you not to trust an enemy’s words? Even if she didn’t, wouldn’t you know by now to rather believe in ghosts than trust a man’s words?"

The woman remained silent.

"Little Nine, record everything she says. If she doesn’t speak, check online for ancient punishments, give her a round of them, she’ll behave!"

Saying that, Ye Xunhuan left the basement with Olivia.

After exiting the basement, Ye Xunhuan asked Olivia, "You heard, there’s another person behind Black Night, likely someone like us!"

"I know!"

"Who do you think it could be?"

"Anyone!" Olivia said seriously, "Anyone would covet your Tai Chi Seal!"

"Still, what you did this time was right; this woman’s use alive is greater than dead!"

Then, Olivia exhaled a stifled breath, "I was considering whether to go to the Black List Tournament, but now it seems I must go."
