Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

After listening to Qian Lin talk about what they were going to do this time, her expression became quite strange.

They were actually going to capture the family of that burly man. In her impression, it seemed that only bad people would do such a thing to threaten other people's families, right?

"Isn't this a bad idea? We are on the right path."

"What's wrong with being righteous? What we do is for the good of everyone. This is justice." Qian Lin did not feel any psychological burden about this. "You should learn more from the saint. Look how hard her heart is. Look how hard she stabbed with the sword."

Essentially, Qian Lin felt that he and the Saint were of the same kind, both of them were a little crazy.

It’s just that Qian Lin does it for himself, while the Saint does it for the more abstract people of the world.

Is it right to stab someone in the back when they are breaking through? Definitely not.

Shouldn't the righteous path defeat its enemies in an open and aboveboard manner?

But there was no other way. The Saint couldn't beat Qian Lin at that time, so she had no choice but to do this. And it was so much easier. She could kill him with just one sword. It was very convenient.

If the roles were reversed, Qian Lin would definitely stab him with his sword.

If you don’t stab, you’re not a human being!

"I don't want to become a person like her, without any human touch at all." Ye Qiuhan curled her lips. Although she envied the saint's strength and temperament, she didn't want to be a person like her.

And the saint didn't want Ye Qiuhan to become her second self.

In this regard, the two of them were running in both directions.

"Okay, okay, the humane Miss Ye Qiuhan, now for the safety of everyone and for the smooth progress of the Ascension Conference, we have to find out who is behind that man. Other methods have proven to be ineffective, and we have no choice but to do this." Putting on his big black robe, Qian Lin said, "Don't be so pretentious."

Is this the time to be pretentious? Don't worry about morality. The magic path will not talk about morality with you. The best choice is to kill the opponent as soon as possible.

Look at Ye Xin, how much he cares about this matter, without any complaints at all.

This is what a righteous monk should be like!

"I get it. I just think this kind of thing is not what the righteous do." Ye Qiuhan scratched his head. Threatening someone with their family, this kind of thing is clearly the patent of the evil way.

"Although it's a stereotype, what you said is indeed correct." It's true that the Demonic Path often does this kind of thing, but that doesn't mean Qian Lin can't do it.

After I, the Supreme Demon, have turned over a new leaf, it's okay for me to do my old job for the sake of the people of the world, right?

This is for everyone's good.

Covering herself with a black veil and looking at herself in the mirror with a mysterious aura, Qian Lin nodded with satisfaction.

This outfit was thought up by Hua Yue, and the main idea is to create a sense of contrast. Qian Lin used to give people an impression of being delicate and cute, but after putting on this black outfit, she became much more mature. Coupled with the translucent black veil, it gives people a feeling of wanting to find out more.

You know what, this outfit is not only good-looking, but also completely different from the previous Qian Lin. People who are not familiar with her would never recognize this kind of Qian Lin.

The monks of Hehuan Valley are truly unmatched in their abilities in this regard.

Qian Lin felt that her uncle Bi Yue would be very happy to have such a great future under her command.

Because this was considered a mission, Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan both wore the marks sent by the Tiandao Sect headquarters. After all, there were Tiandao Sect monks everywhere catching the devils these days, so they would definitely see them every time. It would be too troublesome to explain every time they met.

It would be better to bring friendly signs to eliminate all problems.

After everything was ready, Qian Lin pushed open the door and saw Ye Xin and Hua Yue who were already waiting outside.

Hua Yue's expression was somewhat forced. It was too stressful to be alone with Ye Xin. She had heard a lot about the great reputation of the Sword Sect monks.

And she was just a cultivator from the Hehuan Valley who was forcibly captured and brought to the righteous side. If she wasn't careful, the cultivator from the Sword Sect next to her would probably kill her with a sword, right?

Looking at Huayue, who was so scared that her calves began to tremble, Ye Xin's expression was a little distressed. She had no intention of killing Huayue. After Qian Lin explained why he brought Huayue back, she no longer regarded Huayue as an enemy.

Since Qian Lin said that Hua Yue might join the righteous path and turn to the light, Ye Xin was naturally willing to believe Qian Lin. She was a swordsman who only knew how to chop people and didn't understand these complicated things.

Anyway, just trust Qian Lin.

"Let's go if you're ready. We should hurry and come back within ten days." Qian Lin looked at the map. It would take them at least two days to get to the small town. In total, four days had passed.

And it would take some time to catch the man. After all, they didn't know what the burly man's family looked like. They could only ask or see who looked like the man.

Speaking of which, time is quite tight.

……

There weren't many surprises during the two-day trip, but the closer they got to the end of the trip, the fewer Tiandao Sect monks Qian Lin and her friends encountered. This place was already very far away from the Ascension Conference.

The focus of Tiandao Sect's work now is obviously more towards the Ascension Conference. It is normal not to see many Tiandao Sect monks here.

"Let me look at the map. The town should be in this direction." Holding a rather simple map in his hand, Qian Lin felt his head starting to hurt again.

No one would pay attention to this remote place, so the map was naturally quite difficult to find. The map in her hand was hand-drawn by the prisoners she had captured before.

The accuracy is a matter of personal opinion. It may be possible to point out a general direction, but don't even think about anything more.

It is a pipe dream to expect to accurately find the town by relying on this map. In such deep mountains and forests, finding a small town is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

This place is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Tiandao Sect, but because there are almost no special products, the Tiandao Sect has hardly sent anyone to manage it. They only come every few years to test the talents of the children in the mountains. Those with good talents are brought back to the sect for training, and those with poor talents are allowed to practice on their own.

As for what these children with poor talents will become, that is none of the business of Tiandao Sect.

They have done what they should do. We can't expect the Tiandao Sect to do everything by themselves. They are just a holy sect, not a secular dynasty.

And even if it was a dynasty like that, it would be impossible to manage it in such detail.

"I think we should have asked a senior brother or sister who is familiar with the place to come here beforehand." After wandering around in the mountains for almost a whole day, Qian Lin didn't even see a single person, let alone a small town.

Just look at the spirit beast baring its teeth.

No wonder the burly man was able to do so many bad things without being caught. After doing the bad things, he hid here and no one could find him.

Those who could find him probably wouldn't be in the mood to catch him.

"Qian Lin, there seems to be a small town ahead. Could it be the place we are looking for?" Suddenly, Ye Qiuhan discovered a small town hidden in the dense forest.

"I don't know, but it's getting dark, so it should be no problem for us to find a place to stay." Qian Lin was completely lost at this point, and the map in his hand was of no use at all.

Is the town below the destination this time? Who knows!

There is not even a reference point. It is highly unlikely. There seems to be a small river next to the town on the map, but there is no river next to this town.

It should be just an ordinary mountain town.

After lowering the flying sword's altitude a bit, Qian Lin finally saw the scene in the town clearly.

With her brows slightly furrowed, she turned her head and looked at Ye Qiuhan, "Is there no one alive in this place?"

The town was in a mess. Nearly half of the buildings had been damaged to varying degrees. There was no one on the streets, only a few big rats lying on the ground motionless.

There was dead silence. There was something wrong with the atmosphere.

"Something is not right." Ye Xin narrowed his eyes, and a sharp aura emanated from him.

This town must have encountered something terrible and has become what it is now. As for the people in the town... they are probably in great danger.

In a town like this, the strongest cultivator is probably only at the Mind-Nourishing Realm. Any random cultivator at the Body-Forging Realm can easily massacre a town like this.

Thinking about the arrogant behavior of the demons nearby recently, Ye Xin felt that he had found the truth of the matter.

This place must have been attacked by evil spirits!

"Let's go down and take a look, at least to confirm if they are all dead." Qian Lin made the decision and controlled the flying sword to fall.

Stepping on the slab made of bluestone, Qian Lin frowned slightly, "The dust is not that thick, and the accident did not happen for long."

It might even have happened just a few days ago.

Several other people also came to the same conclusion. It should be during these few days that the town was attacked by unknown forces. The entire town was almost completely destroyed and the residents in the town disappeared completely.

"There are no bloodstains... It's very strange." Hua Yue looked around and scratched her head in confusion. Generally speaking, there would always be some bloodstains in such places, but she neither smelled blood nor saw any bloodstains. This was too strange.

What about the townspeople? They couldn't have just disappeared into thin air, right?

"That means the attackers had other purposes. For example, they needed a blood sacrifice." Qian Lin was not confused for too long. The absence of blood didn't mean that the attackers' goal was to capture people, right?

As for what they were going to do by taking the person away, Qian Lin had no idea. Many of the magic techniques required living people as sacrifices, and no one knew which magic sect was behind this attack.

Maybe the Hehuan Sect kidnapped the person and used him as that thing, or maybe the Xuehai Sect kidnapped the person and drew his blood to cause trouble. In short, there are many possibilities.

"Let's split up and look for clues, and search for survivors. Huayue, follow me, and don't wander around."

Apart from Hua Yue, the others present were all powerful cultivators in the Body Tempering Realm, so there probably wouldn't be many problems if they acted alone.

Although they said they were looking for survivors, Qian Lin never expected to find anyone alive. Judging from the situation here, it would be strange if anyone was alive.

Ye Qiuhan and Ye Xin had no objection to Qian Lin’s proposal. After the three of them agreed to meet at the original place, they each chose a direction and began searching.

Since there are two people on Qian Lin's side, the area they are responsible for is slightly larger.

However, the place is quite large, so it is quite easy to investigate, as there are really no valuable clues at all.

Qian Lin even took a look at a few houses that were relatively well preserved, and the inside was as messy as the outside, as if someone had violently destroyed them.

"I don't think this was done by us in Hehuan Valley." Huayue looked at the messy scene and gave her opinion.

It seems that they in Hehuan Valley would not do such a brutal thing. If they want to arrest people, they should use drugs to knock everyone out first and then arrest them. This would be much more convenient and would not easily attract other people's attention.

Of course, Hua Yue didn't dare to jump to conclusions like this. Maybe a monk from Hehuan Valley suddenly went crazy and gave up the original elegant method of kidnapping and chose this rough method?

"That makes sense. Zhan Tian should also be ruled out. The traces left here don't look like they would be left by those people." Qian Lin also ruled out the option of the Demonic Sect.

The people of Zhantian Sect are used to chopping things with their big swords, and the traces of destruction here do not show any signs of being cut by a sharp weapon. If the Zhantian Sect was responsible for what happened here, then the traces of chopping should account for the majority.

For this reason, Qian Lin chose to rule out this option.

With the remaining three demon sects, Qian Lin didn't know how to choose. All three had reasons to do such a thing, and all had the ability to leave such traces of destruction.

But Qian Lin was still more inclined to believe that the Blood Sea Sect was responsible for this incident. Don't ask, because if you ask, it means there is a grudge between them.

After walking around the deserted town, Qian Lin did not get any more clues. Those guys who caused the trouble were quite clean and did not leave any valuable clues for Qian Lin.

The same goes for Ye Qiuhan and Ye Xin, there are no clues at all.

"What should we do now? Report what happened here?" Ye Qiuhan frowned. When she thought about how all the people in this town were captured and slaughtered by the evil sect, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.

Damn these demons!

"You can, but I think it will be useless even if we report it. This place is too far away from the Ascension Conference, and the Tiandao Sect cannot take care of it at the moment." Qian Lin paused and stated a helpless reality. The Tiandao Sect did not have the time to take care of things here.

Even if the Tiandao Sect knew that there was a town here that might have been destroyed by the evil sect, what good would it be?

Do we have to mobilize the entire sect's strength to sweep these hundred thousand mountains?

The murderer might just be a lone wolf in the Body Tempering Realm. If the Tiandao Sect does this, they might alert the enemy and allow him to escape.

The holy land is not an immortal, and even an immortal is not omnipotent.

"Then what should we do? Should we pretend that we saw nothing?" Ye Qiuhan lowered her head in disappointment. She felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart. In such a vast forest, it was impossible for them to find the murderer and the victims.

"Let's take it one step at a time. If we're lucky, maybe we'll run into the murderers." Compared to Ye Qiuhan's loss, Qian Lin didn't have any emotional fluctuations. It was just a town full of people who died. It was such a small matter.

When the next few waves of disasters come, more than half of the people in the world will probably die. Then you, Ye Qiuhan, can be sad.

Can this be called a big deal now? Naive!

Because the investigation in the town took some time and the sky was getting dark, Qian Lin felt that traveling at night was a bit inefficient, so it would be better to rest here for a night, recharge his energy and set off again tomorrow morning.

Naturally, no one else had any objection to Qian Lin's idea. Being able to sleep in this small town was better than sleeping in the deep mountains and forests.

Although this place is a bit weird, at least it was populated before.

"I just found a large courtyard. The people living there should be some wealthy people in the town. We can stay there for the night." Ye Qiuhan adjusted her mood and said that she had found a large courtyard before and they could go there to rest for a night.

Although most of the furniture and other things have been destroyed, it can definitely provide a shelter from the wind and rain.

Anyway, it's just one night, so the conditions don't need to be very good.

Following Ye Qiuhan to the so-called wealthy family's residence, Qian Lin felt that the yard was actually not that big, and was about the same size as the small yard that her cousin had lent her before.

Only in a small mountain village like this can this yard be considered a luxury house.

Half of the door plaque of the house was broken and fell to the ground. Qian Lin turned the door plaque over and took a look. The owner of the house should be surnamed Zhao.

Walking into the yard, this house is not very luxurious due to the resource limitations of the small town, but compared with the houses next to it, this house is indeed worthy of the name of a mansion.

It is estimated that the people living here are just a few people from the same family, not like the families outside with hundreds or even thousands of people.

After all, most of the townspeople here are related to each other.

Ye Qiuhan had been here to check before and knew which room was the cleanest, so he led the others straight to that room.

"There has been little damage here. It must have been a study."

The room that Ye Qiuhan found was not very big. It had a large bookshelf filled with various books. Next to the bookshelf was a large desk made of very ordinary wood.

"It may be small, but it has everything." Qian Lin glanced at the desk and didn't find anything useful, so he turned his attention to the bookshelf in front of him, "Some basic cultivation techniques, some technology-related books..."
