This was the copper liquid that Lone Eagle had personally scooped out. Logically speaking, it would be difficult to tamper with it. Yan Li almost jumped up to resist, but the copper liquid froze midway.
Could he have tampered with the ladle?
Yan Li glanced at the ladle.
Li Yong was still impassively pressing down on Yan Li.
Lone Eagle suddenly turned around and stared at Yu Qiuyu. The latter lowered his head in silence.
Huang Shaoyu's heart immediately thumped. If his identity was exposed here, even heaven and earth would not help him. Even if he were killed, he would only have himself to blame.
"What day is it today? Why is it so difficult to carry out a punishment in this seat's dungeon?"
Lone Eagle suddenly became indifferent. He casually threw away the ladle and quickly walked to the corner of the wall. There were two ladles there. He took one of them, scooped up the copper liquid, and walked towards Yan Li. "Don't think that you can get what you want every time!"
The copper liquid poured down. Yan Li's nerves tensed, but halfway through, the copper liquid froze again.
Like a curse, the copper liquid would freeze not long after leaving the boiler.
Lone Eagle threw away the ladle and walked over again. He took the last ladle and scooped up the copper liquid. This time, he did not even pour it into Yan Li's mouth. Instead, he casually poured it onto the ground. Just like before, it froze halfway through.
He angrily threw the ladle against the wall, but it splashed a lot of mud back, staining his robes.
"Pfft!" Huang Shaoyu almost laughed out loud.
Lone Eagle glared at him sharply, like a ferocious beast about to start a massacre.
Huang Shaoyu immediately fell silent.
Lone Eagle coldly stared at Huang Shaoyu. After a moment, he called out, "Li Yong!"
"Here!" Li Yong hurriedly replied.
"Tie him to this seat's soldering pipe!" With that, Lone Eagle swept a sharp glance at Yu Qiuyu and Li Yong. "You two, immediately add coal to the soldering pipe. If there are any more accidents, this seat will take your lives!"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes. Branding tube, branding tube."
Huang Shaoyu mumbled to himself as he looked around. Finally, he found a thick copper pillar in a corner. It was obviously hollow in design, because behind the pillar was a platform that could be climbed up. On the platform was a stove, and beside it were piles of charcoal and soldering iron.
Yu Qiuyu had already walked over.
Li Yong chained Yan Li to a bronze pillar and urged Huang Shaoyu, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it!"
The so-called searing tube was a kind of punishment device called "Cannon Searing". Tie the prisoner to a hollow copper pillar, and add red-hot charcoal inside. The copper pillar gradually warmed up, causing the prisoner to experience the pain of being roasted from shallow to deep.
The most terrifying part of this punishment was that the victim would suffer the torment of death several times before the temperature of the copper pillar reached a high enough temperature to roast him to death.
Many people were not afraid of being hacked to death, because the pain would only last for an instant. All they had to do was close their eyes and they would be released.
But Cannon Searing was enough to cause a person with a strong will to completely collapse. How could they not be horrified when their bones, skin, and flesh were gradually roasted, and they could even smell the "aroma" of roasted organs before they died?
The two climbed onto the platform, but Yu Qiuyu stared at Huang Shaoyu, seemingly waiting for the latter to make a decision.
Huang Shaoyu inwardly groaned. "What do you want me to do? The only thing I can do right now is to slow it down and slow it down. Perhaps I can delay it until Lord Xiao Wang arrives to save him! "
Under the intense gazes of these two experts, his transmitted words were like the whispers of a mosquito.
"No!" Yu Qiuyu put on a look that said, "You have to think of something, or else I'll expose everything."
"Are you an idiot?!" Huang Shaoyu was indignant.
"Hurry up!" Li Yong shouted.
Yu Qiuyu had already walked over to open the furnace.
Huang Shaoyu grabbed a shovel, shoveled a shovel full of burning charcoal, and poured it into the copper pillar.
Thump thump thump!
The burning charcoal jumped around inside the pillar and slid to the bottom. Suddenly, Huang Shaoyu had an idea and shouted to Yu Qiuyu, "What are you just standing there for? The burning charcoal is going to go out in an instant. Hurry up and add new charcoal!"
Yu Qiuyu thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to the charcoal next to the furnace. He immediately grabbed a shovel, shoveled a large shovel, lifted it up, and poured it into the furnace.
Huang Shaoyu waited for him to add two shovels, then slowly shoveled a small shovel.
The platform was rather high, so the people below could only see the two men shoveling with all their might. They couldn't see what was going on, so they didn't know what was going on. In addition, the pillar was constantly emitting black smoke. It looked like it would catch fire at any moment, so they waited patiently.
By the time the copper pillar was filled with charcoal, only one-tenth of it was burning. This one-tenth was scattered all over the place, so it would probably take some time to ignite the rest of the charcoal.
Seeing that the pillar was only emitting smoke and no heat, Huang Shaoyu was inwardly pleased. So what if you're a Divine Constable? You're still being toyed with in the palm of my hand.
"How does it feel to wait for death?" Lone Eagle stared coldly at Yan Li.
"Not bad. It's quite comfortable," Yan Li said with a smile.
"Let's see how long you can be so stubborn!"
About a quarter of an hour passed.
We all know that fifteen minutes is a very long time, especially when it comes to punishment. Fifteen minutes is enough to roast a person until they're half-cooked.
But fifteen minutes passed, and not only was Yan Li still tied up as if nothing had happened, he even began to doze off. It was as if what he was suffering wasn't a terrifying punishment, but a friend's prank.
No, even if it was a friend's prank, it wouldn't make him sleepy.
This was a display of complete disregard for others.
In the gloomy interrogation room, Lone Eagle's expression grew even gloomier. He slowly raised his hand and touched the copper pillar. When he discovered that the temperature wasn't even warm enough to warm his hand, his expression became terrifying to the extreme. He abruptly extended his hand toward Huang Shaoyu and Yu Qiuyu.
Huang Shaoyu had long since anticipated that Lone Eagle would denounce them, but he hadn't expected it to be so sudden. Caught off guard, he felt an invisible force strangling him and Yu Qiuyu.
The two had just begun to move their zhenqi when it was scattered by an even more powerful force. Then, they were pulled forward by the enormous force, falling off the platform and rolling to the other side of the room.
Lone Eagle didn't stop after falling them, intending to kill them on the spot.
Li Yong suddenly said, "Does Yu Jianzi never consider the consequences of his actions?"
Lone Eagle paused, then narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the two. He discovered that one of them was indeed Yu Qiuyu. He looked coldly at Li Yong. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"This lowly one has only just discovered it," Li Yong said unhurriedly.
Lone Eagle looked at his subordinate with inexplicable meaning. "Do you have other intentions?"
"This lowly one is loyal to the Eagle Yamen and to the Imperial Court. I have no ulterior motives," Li Yong said seriously.
Lone Eagle snorted coldly, then turned to Yu Qiuyu. "Yu Jianzi's actions aren't very appropriate. Has my Eagle Yamen become the backyard of the Court Of Sword, where you can come and go as you please?"
Yu Qiuyu said, "We can come as we please, but we may not be able to leave even if we want to."
He crossed his arms, and the Thirteen Towers appeared naturally. Facing a Sixth Realm expert, he was completely fearless. His body exuded the bearing of a grandmaster.
"No one discovered that you entered the Eagle Yamen," Lone Eagle said.
"No one," Yu Qiuyu said.
"Even if I kill you, no one will find out," Lone Eagle said.
"That should be the case," Yu Qiuyu said.
Huang Shaoyu panicked. He looked at Yu Qiuyu and said, "You blockhead, why did you admit it? If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"
"But," Yu Qiuyu continued, "as long as someone has the intention to investigate, this matter can be easily found."
"After all, there are many wonderful artifacts in this world," Lone Eagle said.
Yu Qiuyu said, "If I kill you, it will be very troublesome."
"That's why I can't kill you," Lone Eagle said.
"And him," Yu Qiuyu said.
Lone Eagle said, "Then why aren't you leaving? Are you waiting for me to invite you for a meal?"
"Let's go," Yu Qiuyu said and turned to leave.
Huang Shaoyu was stunned. He didn't expect to be able to escape so easily. But what about Yan Li? He subconsciously looked at him, only to find that the latter only shook his head.
He had done what he could. Even if he risked his life, he wouldn't be able to save Yan Li.
He suddenly felt a little admiration for Yu Qiuyu's decisiveness.
"Li Yong, send off the 'esteemed guest' on my behalf!" Lone Eagle said coldly.
Li Yong walked over and said to Huang Shaoyu meaningfully, "Is your ancestor a maker of torture tools?"
"No, not anymore." Huang Shaoyu smiled awkwardly, then followed in Yu Qiuyu's footsteps and left.
When everyone was gone, Lone Eagle strode over. Without saying another word to Yan Li, he directly grabbed him by the hair and yanked him off the pillar.
An invisible force directly broke the chains.
When Yan Li wanted to struggle, he found that he was already inside Lone Eagle's Law Domain. He was surprised to find that Lone Eagle's Law Domain was completely invisible.
Law Domains came in all shapes and sizes, and there were even Law Domains like Liu Letian's that could change forms. Today, his horizons had been broadened. He would rather not open it because an invisible Law Domain meant that he couldn't learn the other party's background from the appearance of the Law Domain.
"Some things are much simpler if you are more direct."
Lone Eagle said coldly. With a slight swing of his hand, Yan Li was sent flying by an invisible force.
At the same time that the powerful force sent him flying, it also caused his head to buzz. He was in a state where he couldn't think.
He only felt that half of his face had gone numb because of the intense pain. His eye socket cracked and blood flowed out.
"I actually don't want to kill you." He suddenly revealed a sly smile. "I've studied almost everything you've experienced along the way. You must be hiding secrets. Obtaining these secrets will be the greatest revenge against you."
"Do you think I don't know that the two of them sneaked in?" He walked over with a faint smile and stepped on Yan Li's chest. "That was just a smokescreen. I just wanted them to think that I killed you in a fit of anger. In a moment, a corpse identical to yours will be sent in. After today, there will no longer be a person named Yan Li in this world."
Yan Li forced his eyes open. When he met Lone Eagle's gaze, he felt a chill run down his spine.
