Chapter 389: Cruel Torture

Ye Nan Ge sneered upon hearing this.

"You want me to tell you? Keep dreaming! If you have the guts, kill me. See if anyone can protect you once you step out of the Heaven Refining Secret Realm! Killing the son of the Ye family head—even the Human Emperor wouldn't dare wade into these muddy waters! Otherwise, it would be forcing the Ye family to rebel!"

"Kill me? Do you dare?" Ye Nan Ge was fearless.

"I truly do not."

Ye Lin withdrew the Undead Return Realm, and Jiang Wentian, Xie Lihou, Ji Yanyin, and the others outside finally saw the scene within.

When they saw that only Zhuge Yi remained of the Zhuge family, and that both the Ye family's twin stars and Ye Guanhai were all lying on the ground, they all gasped in cold air!

They couldn't help but feel a bit fortunate that they hadn't intervened earlier; otherwise, their fate might not have been much different from Ye Nan Ge's.

The crowd looked at Ye Lin with eyes full of wariness.

Unknowingly, this guy had already grown to a level that no one dared to underestimate.

"Brother Wentian, do you have any good-looking demonic beasts on your side? Can you lend me one?" Ye Lin said with a smile.

"Huh? A good-looking demonic beast? What do you need that for?"

Although Jiang Wentian was somewhat puzzled, he still proactively summoned a demonic beast over.

This demonic beast had a slender build, silver fur that emitted a soft luster, and delicate limbs; it walked with great elegance.

This was a Yin Wind Demon Wolf. Although it didn't look threatening, it was a genuine high-level demonic beast; even some demon clans with ordinary bloodlines would turn and flee upon encountering it.

Ye Lin stroked the Yin Wind Demon Wolf's soft fur, from head to tail, and incidentally reached out to check its gender.

"A male? That's fine, it still has an opening."

Ye Lin muttered to himself, and amidst the confused gazes of the crowd, he used iron chains to fix the Yin Wind Demon Wolf in place.

Then, he looked at Ye Nan Ge.

"Cousin, do you want to have a wonderful encounter with this good-looking Yin Wind Demon Wolf?" Ye Lin asked with a smile.

"What are you trying to do?" For some reason, a bad premonition suddenly arose in the depths of Ye Nan Ge's heart.

"Nothing much, it's just that I see you're so stubborn, Cousin, so I wanted to arrange a stimulating program for you."

Ye Lin revealed a kind smile, then looked at Zhuge Yi and said with a serious face.

"Remember to restrain me later, otherwise there will be terrifying consequences!"

"What consequences?" Zhuge Yi asked, puzzled.

"You will fly!"

Before Zhuge Yi could react to what he meant, Ye Lin had already made his move.

"Forbidden Curse: Joy-Void Dual Practice!"

Ye Lin unleashed the forbidden curse on Ye Nan Ge. Ye Nan Ge only felt as if a raging fire had been ignited within his body, and even the pain from his wounds was cast to the back of his mind at this moment.

Only one thought remained in his mind now: he wanted to vent!

Ye Nan Ge let out a beast-like low growl, his veins bulging all over his body!

Although Ye Lin's condition was slightly better than his, it wasn't much better; his entire body was as red as a cooked shrimp, and his temperature was extremely scorching.

Zhuge Yi was stunned for a moment. Only now did she understand what Ye Lin meant by "flying," and she was instantly both ashamed and annoyed.

"Filthy thing!"

With a single slap, she slammed Ye Lin directly into the ground, letting him go cool off properly.

On the other side, Ye Nan Ge was not so lucky; the scorching flames had already incinerated his reason.

He walked step by step toward the Yin Wind Demon Wolf nearest to him. Ye Nan Ge tried desperately to maintain his last shred of sanity, but the effect of the Joy-Void Dual Practice was simply too terrifying!

Ye Nan Ge's eyes were filled with fear. If today's events really happened just like that, then even if he survived today, he would never have the face to show himself again from this day forward!

"Ye Lin, I'll talk! I'll tell you, I'll talk!"

Ye Nan Ge's voice was incomparably shrill, but Ye Lin could no longer hear it; he had long since been knocked unconscious by Zhuge Yi.

A moment later, another shrill sound rang out, only this sound came from the Yin Wind Demon Wolf.

"Yin Yin... I'm sorry!"

Jiang Wentian was heartbroken, but facing Ye Lin, he didn't dare to say no.

Unable to bear watching this cruel scene any longer, he turned away with tears in his eyes.

The others were already dumbfounded; they never expected things to develop like this.

An insurance salesman who happened to look over concluded in one breath: this is life insurance!

The severely wounded and dying Ye Zhenbei and Ye Guanhai both shivered simultaneously; they were suddenly very glad that it was Ye Nan Ge being treated this way, and not them.

In this world... there really are things more terrifying than death.

By the time Ye Lin woke up, Ye Nan Ge had also regained his sanity.

He lay on the ground, his face ashen, staring blankly at the sky above, his pupils long since unfocused.

"Nothing is more sorrowful than a dead heart"—this described Ye Nan Ge at this moment.

When Ye Lin's face was reflected in his pupils, a flicker finally appeared on Ye Nan Ge's face, his lips trembling.

"Beast..."

"What? Still not being honest? That's fine, I like tough bones. I have plenty of other methods; do you want to keep trying?" Ye Lin smiled brilliantly.

A deep fear suddenly surfaced in the depths of Ye Nan Ge's eyes.

This top prodigy of the Ye family's younger generation felt for the first time what fear truly was.

He struggled to crawl up with his weak body.

"I was wrong... I know I was wrong... I will tell you everything I know..."

"No need, I don't trust you. Who knows if you're lying to me? If you don't want any more painful memories, crawl up and follow me obediently," Ye Lin said.

"Fine, I'll follow you, I'll follow you!"

Ye Nan Ge struggled to crawl up; he was truly terrified.

The guy in front of him had no concept of values, morality, or bottom lines; using "beast" to describe him was an insult to beasts.

To achieve his goal, this guy was truly capable of anything.

Ye Nan Ge did not doubt for a second that Ye Lin had even more perverted tortures hidden in his mind.

"Make those two follow as well."

Ye Lin gestured toward Ye Zhenbei and Ye Guanhai.

"Where are you taking them?" Zhuge Yi asked, puzzled.

"To find the Spirit Mother," Ye Lin blinked.

"You want the Spirit Mother to read their memories?"

Zhuge Yi immediately understood what Ye Lin was going to do.

"But how will you communicate with the Spirit Mother?"

When the Spirit Prisoners within the Heaven Refining Secret Realm are attacked, they can read a portion of the attacker's memories.

The Spirit Mother can even read the opponent's complete memories, but the Spirit Mother has no way to communicate with humans at all.

It wasn't as if no one had tried to use the Spirit Mother as a soul-searching tool before, but the results all ended in failure.

"This mountain dweller has his own clever plans."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lin pulled the Human Emperor Flag out from his own crown.

From the very beginning, he never intended to ask anything from Ye Nan Ge's mouth.

Ever since he discovered that Spirit Prisoners would read a portion of the attacker's memories, he had already planned how to obtain the intelligence he wanted.

Subjecting Ye Nan Ge to torture was, in fact, just a convenient side task.
