Little Vlad spoke while observing that Pei Yan's expression began to turn unfriendly, and quickly explained: "The core matters of cooperation with Blood Slaughter are all handled personally by my father and the other leaders of the Dark Council. Even I know very little. I'm telling the truth; you can kill me, but I have nothing more to say."

"Say as much as you know," Pei Yan impatiently urged.

"Under my father's order, I once went to a place to investigate the weakness of a spatial barrier. They seem to be collecting the patterns and locations of spatial barriers that have cracked naturally over the years. That's all I know…," Little Vlad recalled something and added, "Oh, right, I also collected information for Blood Slaughter on various locations of Original Spirits in the Magic plane, but these spirits are elusive and have close relations with the Supreme, my teacher, so with my abilities, I only discovered the hiding places of two spirits."

"Spatial barriers? Spirits?" Pei Yan and the people present exchanged confused looks, unable to understand the intent behind Blood Slaughter's actions. With their abilities, they could directly tear open spaces without needing to find weak spots in the barriers, were they preparing for a large-scale invasion?

"Did they make a move to capture the two spirits you investigated?" Mei Simiao interjected.

"No," Little Vlad shook his head and replied, "We just marked their general living areas and activity paths and returned without anyone going to capture or even track them."

"Perhaps they're afraid of alerting them," Pei Yan analyzed as he glanced at Mei Simiao.

Mei Simiao nodded and continued to ask, "Are these matters known to your teacher?"

"Hehehe," Little Vlad laughed bitterly, "How could it be! Just like you verified earlier, my teacher doesn't trust my family, and my family is likewise suspicious. These secrets and their true purposes are even hidden from me by my father, so how could I reveal them to outsiders?"

"Very well, share your intelligence about the spatial barriers you investigated and the two spirits you mentioned," Mei Simiao unceremoniously demanded.

Having reached this point, Little Vlad decided not to make things difficult for himself; faced with the questioning, he spilled everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

After he finished speaking, Pei Yan nodded in satisfaction and then asked, "Now there's only one last question left. Answer it, and you can rest for a while. Tell me the location of your family, your defense forces, and your means of communication."

Resigned to her fate, Little Vlad was ready to answer any question. But upon hearing this question, she raised her head abruptly and shot a venomous glare at Pei Yan, her eyes filled with resentment and indignation, "Pei Yan! Don't push me too far. I've given you all the intel you wanted, and now you're asking me to betray my family?"

"Haven't you already betrayed them?" Pei Yan spread his hands with a sneer, "Whether you tell a little or tell it all, what's the difference?"

"It's not the same!" Little Vlad roared, "Those things were just related to my family's interests, which can be discarded at critical moments! But now, what are you asking me? Asking the location and defense forces of my family! What do you intend? To launch an attack on my family? Pei Yan, I have my limits!"

"Little Vlad, the thing about limits…," Pei Yan said as he walked over to Little Vlad, squatting down, placing a hand on her shoulder, admonishingly, "You must hold firmly to them. Once you let go of your limits, they become meaningless. You will keep lowering them until you become someone unprincipled. You've lowered your limits before in front of me, so stop resisting and spare yourself some pain. Save us some time; just confess! We've been at this for almost a day, and everyone is quite tired, right? I promise you can rest well and get sufficient food supplies after this."

Seeing Little Vlad appearing shaken and silent under the temptation, Pei Yan sighed, stood up, and turned to Du Guangyuan, "Looks like she's still hesitating, give her a hand! I don't want to keep extracting information like squeezing toothpaste. Use your best method, let's see the resolve and limits of the Vlad family's eldest son, oh! Correction, eldest daughter."

Pei Yan's mockery didn't anger Little Vlad. As she watched Du Guangyuan happily head towards the table and pick up a bottle containing worms hatched from eggs, her body began to tremble uncontrollably, her face turned pale, her mouth twitched as countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and she screamed as her psychological defenses crumbled, "Devil, I'll talk! Isn't that enough?"

"You see, isn't it great when everyone's happy?" Pei Yan said, shooting a glance at Du Guangyuan, who regretfully put the bottle back on the table, "What a shame; if not used this time, the worms will expire unused, it could have been a spectacular scene."

Upon hearing these words, Little Vlad trembled even more, casting a frightened look at Pei Yan who sat down in front of her, "Pei Yan, you're the most wicked person I've ever met."

"Same here; I'll take it as a compliment and won't get mad at you, hurry up and talk, don't upset me further," Pei Yan, used to such evaluations, leaned back in his chair calmly.

Following this, Little Vlad revealed several place names along with detailed family information, and then Mei Simiao filtered through this information, repeatedly questioning and verifying, the entire process lasted an hour and a half before all details were finalized.

After the interrogation, Little Vlad, physically and mentally exhausted, collapsed weakly in place, staring with hollow eyes as Pei Yan stood up to comfort her, "I'm true to my word; I won't interrogate you for a long time now, you can rest well."

Finished speaking, he turned to Jiang Feiyang, "Get her something to eat, try to meet her requests! Look after her well."

"Understood," Jiang Feiyang nodded, walked over to Little Vlad with a playful smile, "Alright, hero! They said to treat you well. Tell me what you want to eat, I'll find it for you. But don't expect me to fetch rare Magic Realm specialties; I can't find those for you."

Ignoring Jiang Feiyang teasing Little Vlad, the group who obtained the intelligence exited the basement one by one, and in the hallway, Mei Simiao turned to Pei Yan with a smile, "I've always thought you're wasted in the action team, Pei Yan. Join our intelligence team! Here, your abilities can be fully utilized and make greater contributions."
