Interrogating Members of Iron Hammer Sect

 

"Oh, I simply… froze them," Xia Bingling replied casually. "Each and every one of them. They stand as statues in the courtyard, a chilling reminder of what happens to those who dare to threaten the Xia Family."

 

A grin spread across Wang Li's face. "Brilliant!" This was a much better outcome than he'd anticipated. "Those frozen fools can be more valuable assets than corpses. We can use them to our advantage."

 

Xia Bingling raised an eyebrow in question. "How so?"

 

"Simple," he explained, his voice taking on a calculating tone. "We can use them to interrogate them, to learn the location of Iron Hammer Sect hideouts, their trade routes, and their allies."

 

"And perhaps," he added, a glint of mischief in his eyes, "discover which supposedly righteous families are secretly harboring this demonic scum."
