Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

It's very ordinary, there's nothing wrong with appearing in this place.

"What is this? A diary?" Among these books, Qian Lin found a book without a title. She immediately became interested and pulled the book out from the bookshelf.

When she opened it, it was exactly as she thought, a diary, and a recent one at that.

Maybe I can find some clues here, she thought.

180. Fleeing for fear of crime?

"About fifteen days ago, several men in black came from the mountains and stayed in this town. After they moved in, a large number of strange incidents occurred in the town. The townspeople could not bear it anymore and decided to expel those outsiders." After reading the entire diary, Qian Lin roughly grasped the general course of events.

The matter is relatively simple. A few demons have set their sights on this small town, and the people in this town have no ability to resist the attack of the demons.

Even if there hadn't been a final falling out, this small town would probably have been destroyed by the evil forces in the near future.

Of course, this is the case when Qian Lin and the others have not arrived. If the townspeople can be patient for a few more days, they will be able to wait for Qian Lin and the others to arrive, and perhaps they can be freed from the fate of death.

Instead of disappearing completely from this world like it is now.

After closing the diary, Qian Lin stuffed it into the storage bag with a calm expression. This thing could be submitted as evidence later.

As for the other books on the bookshelf, they are not very useful. Perhaps they are precious items in this isolated mountain town, but in Qian Lin's eyes, these things are not much different from waste paper.

"The ones who did it should be from the Xuanyin Sect, but unfortunately we don't know where they have gone." There are many clues in the diary, and Qian Lin can now almost conclude that the demons who appeared here are from the Xuanyin Sect.

Because the diary clearly stated that those men in black were all weird, which was the characteristic of the Xuanming Sect.

There was no need for them to put on a show in front of these townspeople who had no ability to resist; they should just act like their everyday self.

Speaking of which, it seems like the Xuanyin Sect has been a bit dishonest recently. They were the ones behind the Ascension Conference, they were also the ones targeting Huoyu, and now they have also destroyed the small town here.

Are these guys really that energetic?

In his previous life, Qian Lin did not have much interaction with the Xuanyin Sect, but these guys were the first to kneel down after Qian Lin became famous, and they knelt very thoroughly.

The ability to change one's attitude according to the situation is very strong, this is Qian Lin's impression of the Xuanyin Sect.

I didn't expect that this group of people would still be so good at causing trouble at this moment. It's really surprising.

"No matter who did this, I will make them pay the price." Ye Xin didn't care which demon sect did this. She just needed to find the murderer and kill them.

"The premise is that you can find them." Qian Lin said helplessly.

This place is really suitable for people to hide. Once they hide in the mountains and forests, it would be a fantasy for them who are in the Body Tempering Realm to find people. It is completely impossible.

Unless the other party jumps out on their own initiative, or they happen to bump into each other and commit the crime, but the probability is really too low.

"Rest first, we have to travel tomorrow."

……

After resting for a night in the dead silent town, the four of them set out again early the next morning to look for the burly man's family.

And that day, they gained quite a lot. Following the path extending out from the town, they actually found several small mountain towns one after another. Although none of them were what they were looking for, they got an "accurate" map of the nearby area from these towns.

"It's better than the maps we used before." Looking at the map in his hand that was still somewhat abstract, Qian Lin's mouth twitched slightly.

This map marked out many nearby towns. Comparing it with the map she had used before, Qian Lin discovered that if she really searched according to the previous map, she might not be able to find the town even if she searched for several months.

You drew this place completely wrong!

"This should be the town we are looking for. The terrain nearby is similar, just reversed." Ye Qiuhan compared the two maps and roughly understood what was wrong with the previous map.

The bandit remembered the terrain features near the town completely wrongly. The river was clearly on the right side of the town, but he said it was on the left side. There were many such mistakes. If you really searched according to these features, you would be exhausted but still unable to find the target.

Fortunately, the towns in the mountains are not unconnected. They know that there are other towns in the mountains and forests, and they are connected to each other and know each other's approximate location.

Occasionally, foreign monks would stop in these small towns to buy maps and other things.

After all, although the resources here are not as rich as the Spirit Beast Forest in the East Territory, there are still some specialties that can be exchanged for some spirit stones if taken outside.

After telling the mayor of this town the news that the town had been attacked by evil forces and no one survived in the entire town, and telling him to be careful, Qian Lin and the others set off again and flew straight towards their destination.

Because they had a clear goal this time, they traveled much faster. It only took them half a day, and the town, which was larger than the previous ones, appeared in their sight.

Compared with the town I stayed in before, this town is obviously more prosperous. The townspeople walking on the streets have rosy faces, and you can tell at a glance that they have enough food and warm clothes.

The level of development here is much better than the previous towns. Qian Lin even saw a small hotel here.

After confirming that this was their destination, Qian Lin controlled the flying sword to drop from the sky.

This high-profile appearance naturally attracted the attention of the townspeople. Descending from the sky on a flying sword is an ability that only a powerful immortal master can possess!

Although there are monks in their town who can use flying swords, their movements of stepping on the flying swords are not as graceful as Qian Lin and the others.

As we all know, appearance is also an important reference indicator of combat effectiveness. You can tell at a glance that the four people on Qian Lin's side are not ordinary people. Each of them is a very powerful immortal master!

Especially Huayue and Ye Xin, the two of them did not come with their faces covered this time. The townspeople of the small mountain town had never seen such beautiful girls, their eyes were fixed on Ye Xin, and they kept muttering the name "fairy".

The news that four fairies had descended from the sky soon reached the mayor of the town. When the mayor heard about it, he immediately ran over to greet the four fairies.

These four fairies descended from the sky. They were at least monks who were in the state of cultivating their minds and could skillfully use flying swords! They were truly remarkable guests for this small town.

After Ye Xin revealed his identity, the mayor's expression became even more respectful. Turtle, you are the direct disciple of the Qinglian Sword Sect!

He didn't know how powerful the Qinglian Sword Sect was, but he knew that it was a holy place of righteousness that was as famous as the Tiandao Sect!

As for the Tian Dao Sect, he knew it very well. The mountain beneath his feet was the territory of the Ren Tian Dao Sect. They were their masters!

Every few years, outer disciples from the Tiandao Sect would come to test the talents of the children in the town, and those with good talents would be taken away directly. They were the most powerful cultivators the mayor had ever seen in his life.

Ye Xin is the direct disciple of the Qinglian Sword Sect, which is two levels higher than the outer disciples!

Outer disciples are out of reach in the eyes of the mayor, and this personal disciple is simply a god!

"Looking for someone? No problem! I'll help the Immortal Master find him right away!" After hearing Ye Xin's purpose, the mayor patted his chest and said that he would take care of the matter. He remembered the burly man who came every few dozen days, and he also knew where his family was.

To Qian Lin and the others' surprise, the man's family did not seem to be living very well. In the words of the mayor, they were just ordinary townspeople. But because the man was often not at home, the mother, who was in charge of the family, was very busy.

"That little girl is quite clever and cute, and everyone around here likes her quite a bit." The mayor asked the nearby townspeople before bringing Qian Lin and the others to the door of the burly man's family.

This is a very ordinary little house, not much different from the one next to it. It is hard to believe that the family of a Body Tempering Realm bandit would live in such a simple place.

Knock, knock, knock! The mayor knocked hard on the door several times and called out to the people in the house.

But after a long time, there was no movement in the house.

Instead, the neighbor couldn't stand the noise, so he opened the door and stuck his head out to say to the mayor: "The mother and daughter went out a few days ago and haven't come back yet."

go out?

Could it be that he had fled because of the crime? Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan looked at each other and saw the same idea in each other's eyes.

You haven't seen him earlier or later, but he disappeared at this time. You said it was an accident, but who would believe you?

He must have run away!

Pushing the mayor away from the door, Qian Lin kicked the closed door open without hesitation. Anyway, the owner of the house didn't need to live here anymore, so he might as well break it.

There was a thin layer of dust on the ground, and there was a sense of no activity in the house. The neighbor was not lying, and no one had been in the house for several days.

"It looks like he really ran away." Qian Lin looked around and came to the conclusion, "He wasn't kidnapped, he left on his own. Let's look for clues separately. I don't believe there are no clues at all!"

The four of them immediately dispersed and began to rummage through the house.

In the end, it was Huayue who found a diary in a room where the child should have lived, which allowed them to vaguely see what had happened.

'...Mom received a letter. After reading it, her face turned terrible...Mom said we were going to look for Dad the next day...Mom asked me to burn the letter. I secretly took a look at it. There were many words I couldn't understand...Youfeng Valley, what is that place? Are they asking us to go there?'

The handwriting on the diary was very childish, and it should have been written by the burly man's daughter. This little girl left an important clue for Qian Lin and the others.

The burly man's wife received a letter. After reading the letter, her expression became very bad, which scared her daughter.

The day after receiving the letter, she left the town with her daughter and went to a place called Youfeng Valley. She has not returned to this day.

"Youfeng Valley? Do you know what that place is?" Qian Lin turned his head to look at the mayor. It seemed that this Youfeng Valley was the key to all the problems.

Hearing this name, the mayor's expression suddenly turned pale. It seemed that it was a very strange place. "That is a devil's cave. It is impossible for living people to enter or come out!"

"If they went to Youfeng Valley, those immortal masters wouldn't have to look for them. They must be dead now."

"No one knows what the Wind Valley looks like. I only know that the Wind Valley is upstream of the stream and is the source of the stream here."

"Calm down, now is not the time for you to be afraid." Qian Lin pressed the mayor's shoulder and injected a trace of Xuanming spiritual energy into his body.

The mayor shivered violently, as if he had been poured over with a bucket of ice water from head to toe. However, despite this stimulation, he calmed down and told Qian Lin and the others what he knew about the story of Youfeng Valley.

To put it simply, that place is a deadly place. The townspeople dare not approach it at all. However, occasionally, a passing monk would hear of the notorious reputation of this place and would go there to explore despite the dissuasion.

No one knows what the outcome was, but the townspeople here never saw those monks come back.

They also told the cultivators of Tiandao Sect about the Youfeng Valley, but the people of Tiandao Sect obviously didn't take it seriously. After visiting the place, they concluded that there was no problem.

"The Tiandao Sect said there is no problem, so there should be no problem." Qian Lin said with some confusion.

It can't be that the Tiandao Sect is blind and can't see the weirdness in this, right?

Even though there are some issues with these people from the Tiandao Sect, there shouldn't be any major mistakes in this kind of thing, right?

"But the place is still the same afterwards. No one who went there has ever come back alive!" The mayor didn't know how to explain it. He could only keep emphasizing that no one had ever come back alive from there.

As for the people from Tiandao Sect?

They definitely didn’t go to Youfeng Valley, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to come back!

Ye Qiuhan quietly tugged at Qian Lin's skirt, and when Qian Lin turned her head, he leaned close to Qian Lin's ear and whispered, "Is it possible that for the cultivators of the Tiandao Sect, there is really nothing unusual there?"

Even the outer disciples of Tiandao Sect, those who can be sent out to do things are basically at the Body Tempering Realm, and it is a blessing for the heavens to have other people in this small mountain town who have reached the Mind Cultivation Realm.

A place that seems to be no problem to a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm may be a deadly place for a cultivator with a lower level of cultivation.

There was nothing wrong with the conclusion reached by the cultivators of Tiandao Sect, and there was nothing wrong with the townspeople's understanding of Youfeng Valley. It was just that the strengths of both sides were different, so the conclusions they reached were different.

"There may be a spiritual beast at the peak of the Yangxin realm there. A situation like this can explain these strange things." Ye Qiuhan continued.

"Yes, this is indeed an explanation." Qian Lin nodded, and then felt that the distance between him and Ye Qiuhan seemed a little too close, so he moved a little to the side, "But why did this mother and daughter go to Youfeng Valley, and who asked them to go to that deadly place?"

The mother and daughter were just ordinary people. What was a place of death for other people in the town was naturally a place of death for them as well. If we first ruled out the possibility that the mother had hidden her strength, they couldn't have gone there to seek death, right?

If you really want to commit suicide, it would be so easy. Just use a three-foot white silk to do it. There is no need to go through so much trouble to run to Youfeng Valley.

Someone must have sent a letter asking them to go there... Oh no, could it be that they wanted to silence them?

I know that I am going to look for the family of the burly man, so how could the demons not know? Those inhumane guys don't care whether the mother and daughter are innocent or not, they only know that the mother and daughter are uncertain factors.

If they fell into the hands of the righteous, perhaps the burly man would betray them because of family ties. In order to eliminate this weakness of the burly man, it was not uncommon for them to take the mother and daughter away first.

As for why they sent a letter instead of taking the people away directly, maybe they didn't want to leave any traces that would be linked to them?

Although they still left traces now.

"It's been several days. I'm afraid they are in danger." Qian Lin sighed with some regret and turned to look at Ye Qiuhan, "We have to go there and take a look."

"I'll go with you." Ye Qiuhan immediately expressed that she had no objection.

"Well, Ye Xin, you take Hua Yue here and stay in case of an emergency. If you encounter a demon, don't act rashly." The target would be too big for four people to act together. In addition, Hua Yue was like a burden now, so Qian Lin planned to let Ye Xin stay in the town to watch over Hua Yue.

She and Ye Qiuhan went to Youfeng Valley together. In these deep mountains and old forests, the combat effectiveness of Ye Qiuhan, a wood-type cultivator, should not be underestimated at all, and his concealment was much better than Ye Xin.

They might encounter some dangers this time, and might even need to escape. Qian Lin thinks it would be better to take Ye Qiuhan with him rather than taking Ye Xin with him.

Apart from anything else, Ye Qiuhan's escape skills are quite reliable, and Qian Lin may not be able to catch up with Ye Qiuhan who is fleeing in the jungle.

"Okay." Ye Xin nodded, holding the sword. Although she felt a little regretful that she couldn't go with them, she had no objection to Qian Lin's arrangement.

There is nothing wrong with Qian Lin's idea, this is her trust in Qian Lin.

At this time, Qian Lin would not stop herself from going with him for any other boring reasons. She must have a reasonable reason.

Ye Xin would not ask why. She just needed to know that she was not as smart as Qian Lin, so it was always right to listen to Qian Lin at this time.

"Two fairies, the Youfeng Valley is really dangerous. You must be careful." Seeing that the two were determined to leave, the mayor could only remind them again.

"It's okay. The outer disciples of Tiandao Sect can go there for a stroll and come back safely. We can definitely do it too. Mayor, you just need to pay attention to strangers coming from outside these days." Qian Lin waved to the mayor and jumped onto the flying sword.

The outer disciples of Tiandao Sect are at most at the Body Tempering Stage. He walked around the Youfeng Valley and didn't find anything unusual. How could two of his men at the Body Tempering Stage possibly fail if they went there?

Qian Lin really didn't believe it.

According to the speed of ordinary people, it would take several days to travel from this small town to Youfeng Valley, but for Qian Lin and the other person who could fly directly in the air, this journey would take less than an hour.

It was still noon when they set out, and the sun was just setting a little in the west. If they were lucky, they might be able to get back to the town before the sun sets.

"Such a heavy miasma! This Youfeng Valley is indeed a deadly place for mortals." Looking at the thin layer of green miasma close to the ground, Ye Qiuhan felt that the Youfeng Valley's notorious reputation was probably not in vain.
