Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

As for the more powerful masters, the Demon Sect was not willing to send them to fight against Gu Xue. If they really died in such a meaningless situation, the Demon Sect would feel sad.

So Gu Xue hacked around in the Northern Territory, the base camp of the demon sect, and made a name for himself. Nowadays, when the demon sect members heard this name, they would feel a headache.

After hearing Gu Xue's name, all the righteous people would give her a thumbs up, saying that Gu Xue from Yao Chi is really amazing and a role model for us cultivators.

As for Qian Lin, she is more famous than Gu Xue, but her fame is not due to her strength, but her appearance and personality.

With all the events at the Ascension Conference and Yao Chi's unremitting publicity, now all cultivators in the world know that there is a talented girl named Qian Lin in Yao Chi, who is kind-hearted and has the ability to bring people back to health... In short, all the good words are thrown at Qian Lin.

Mo Dao sneered at this. She was just a little girl. What was there to promote about her? It was all nonsense if she had no real ability!

What? You said this guy could kill the magic master alone in the early stage of body building?

Nonsense! Impossible! How could there be such a genius!

Anyway, the attitude of the Demonic Path towards this is basically skeptical. They believe in the appearance aspect, but not in other aspects.

But no matter how much they don't believe it, they can see that Yao Chi attaches great importance to Qian Lin. Now Gu Xue and Qian Lin have teamed up to come to the capital of Canglong Empire. Considering how far the distance is from Yao Chi to Canglong Empire, it is conceivable how much importance Yao Chi attaches to Ye Qiuhan's disappearance.

"The arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot. The plan has been prepared to this extent. There is no turning back." The woman from Hehuan Valley had a ruthless look in her eyes and said to the gloomy prince, "The only way now is to take action before Yaochi completely intervenes!"

"You mean... start the rebellion in advance? But I'm not prepared yet..." The gloomy prince showed a hesitant expression. Is the Yao Chi really that powerful that scares his mysterious partners so much?

"With our help, you don't need to worry about anything. As for preparation, your previous preparations are sufficient." The charming woman chuckled. What preparations are needed?

Once the old emperor dies, the imperial capital will immediately fall into chaos. By then, even if Yao Chi wants to track down the person, it will not be so easy.

As the imperial capital falls into chaos, the hidden devices deployed by Hehuan Valley throughout the Canglong Empire will be activated simultaneously, pushing the entire empire into the abyss of chaos.

Yao Chi is very powerful, but what good solution does it have when faced with such muddy water?

Your disciple is missing? Then go find him yourself!

All the people involved died in the internal strife. Do you have the ability to bring them back for questioning?

Even if they are brought back, they will be clueless. After all, this disappearance incident was probably staged by you guys.

In that case, we won’t act anymore. Let’s see if you, Yao Chi, have the ability to stop us!

……

"Junior Sister Qian, what do you want to do? Kill someone or steal something?" Looking at Qian Lin who was covering her face with a black cloth, Senior Sister Gu Xue showed a puzzled expression.

Qian Lin said that she would give the people of the Canglong Empire three days to find out the truth, but after arriving at Yao Chi’s base in the Canglong Empire, she immediately started her own actions.

Three days? That's the time I gave you. I didn't say I wouldn't do anything in these three days!

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I won't touch those people, but there are some things I need to confirm with my own eyes." Qian Lin made a reassuring gesture towards Gu Xue, "By the way, do we have a map of the palace?"

Hearing this, Gu Xue raised her eyebrows. So when you said that some things need to be confirmed, could it be that you want to confirm whether the old emperor of Canglong is dead or not?

Junior Sister Qian’s creative ideas always make people feel incredible.

"Maybe, I'll ask someone."

Without stopping him, Senior Sister Gu Xue turned around without hesitation and asked other disciples in the base if they had what Qian Lin wanted.

After all, to be honest, Senior Sister Gu Xue is a more radical character than Qian Lin. Qian Lin was at least willing to give the people here three days, but Senior Sister Gu Xue's initial idea was to not give them even a single day and just start firing.

First, arrest all the suspects, then interrogate them one by one, and kill those who are found to be related to the evil way.

So this senior sister probably really chose the wrong path back then.

Not long after, Gu Xue came back with two jade tablets. "This jade tablet contains the map of the palace. Oh, and this one, which was left in the room by Junior Sister Ye."

"She left it in the room? What's in it?" Qian Lin asked curiously after taking the two jade tablets.

Gu Xue shook her head. "There is a divine seal on the jade token. The disciples in the base dare not touch it. I don't know how to remove the seal."

It is possible to remove it forcibly, but Gu Xue feels that this is not a good idea. Ye Qiuhan left this jade token probably to convey some message to a specific person.

And this someone is most likely Junior Sister Qian Lin, who is in front of him wearing a nightgown and planning to cause trouble.

"Let me see... this spiritual seal looks familiar. Ah, I remember it!" Qian Lin's spiritual consciousness penetrated into the jade token left by Ye Qiuhan. It only took her a little time to unlock the spiritual seal in the jade token. It seems that this jade token was indeed left to her by Ye Qiuhan.

Did she predict that I would come? Qian Lin raised his eyebrows. I really don't know where that guy's confidence comes from.

The jade token contained the clues that Ye Qiuhan had collected before he disappeared, as well as some wild guesses that seemed unreasonable to others. Only Qian Lin knew that the source of these guesses was probably the Saint.

"You really left me a great gift, Ye Qiuhan."

238. Action

Ye Qiuhan also left a message inside the jade token, telling Qian Lin that if the spiritual seal on the jade token still existed, it meant that her life was not in danger.

Well, now at least we can be sure that Ye Qiuhan is not dead.

After slightly modifying the message left by Ye Qiuhan and relaying it to Gu Xue, Qian Lin picked up another jade token and memorized the map in it completely in his mind.

The palace of the Canglong Empire is very large, and the internal roads are extremely complex. Without a map, most people would most likely get lost.

The patrolling guards were not a problem. These soldiers, whose strength was generally at the Peiyuan realm, could not detect Qian Lin's infiltration at all.

The trouble is those masters from the palace. Among the monks guarding the imperial palace, there are many masters at the grandmaster level. These people are the real obstacle for Qian Lin to contact the Emperor Canglong who has not appeared for a long time.

Besides, who knows whether these people are still loyal to the emperor?

Maybe this group of people have all been dealt with by Hehuan Valley.

"Be careful. If you encounter danger, ask for help." Gu Xue patted Qian Lin's shoulder. "I will stay nearby and keep an eye on the movements of the palace."

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Gu, I'm quite familiar with this kind of thing." Qian Lin smiled at Gu Xue. It's just stealing, right? She is a master in this field!

……

The weather is not good tonight, dark clouds cover the sky, making the night even darker.

This kind of weather is undoubtedly more suitable for Qian Lin to sneak into the palace for investigation.

Qian Lin easily crossed the high walls of the imperial city and avoided the detection of the patrolling guards. He ran quickly in the palace according to the map in his mind.

You definitely can't fly. Flying into the sky in a place like this would tell everyone that someone has invaded the palace, and you would be beaten down by those masters soon.

"There are quite a lot of masters. It seems that the old emperor cares a lot about his own safety." Qian Lin quickly broke through the outer area of ​​the imperial city. When she entered the core area of ​​the imperial city, she could no longer perform the previous outrageous actions.

There are countless pairs of eyes hidden here, as well as many active or passive warning formations, and you may be exposed if you are not careful.

With every step forward, Qian Lin needed to stop and judge where to go next. Those monks were not a big problem. She was confident in her concealment spells and could easily deceive these low-level monks.

But those formations were not easy to deceive, Qian Lin could only find a way to bypass them.

"It doesn't look like an ordinary security array. There's a shadow of the Hehuan Valley in it..." And these arrays also provided Qian Lin with some clues. It seemed that the palace had been heavily infiltrated by the Hehuan Valley.

Even the warning formation used was produced by Hehuan Valley. Is there anything else that needs to be said about other places?

The old emperor is probably already firmly in the hands of Hehuan Valley.

After crossing another formation, Qian Lin looked at the brightly lit palace in front of her and squinted her eyes. If the map was correct, that should be her destination, the bedroom of the old emperor of the Canglong Empire.

But... Qian Lin stopped outside the bedroom.

She couldn't get any closer as the entire bedroom was covered by an invisible barrier. If she wanted to go in, she could only use brute force to break the barrier, which undoubtedly meant the failure of this infiltration attempt.

And she was not so conceited as to think that she could single-handedly defeat all the experts guarding the emperor's bedroom.

Hiding in a patch of low grass outside the bedroom, Qian Lin watched several palace maids carrying something through the barrier into the bedroom. Not long after, these palace maids came out of the bedroom carrying the same thing.

Judging from the appearance of that thing, it should be something to eat?

Qian Lin, who had no way to enter the bedroom to find out what was going on, didn't hesitate. Since she couldn't directly determine the old emperor's condition, she might as well find some circumstantial evidence.

She wanted to see where these palace maids came from, where they were going, and what they were carrying!

Most of these palace maids also had some cultivation, but the most powerful one was only at the Yang Xin realm. Being followed by a half-step grandmaster, they were completely unaware of anything unusual.

After all, this is the imperial city, the most heavily guarded and safest place in the Canglong Empire.

Just like that, Qian Lin followed these palace maids to a small palace not far from the bedroom. Smelling the faint aroma of food floating in the air, she felt that she had roughly guessed where this place was.

In the terms here, it should be the imperial kitchen.

But it's almost midnight now. Could it be that the old emperor is still awake for a midnight snack?

You old man, you seem to be enjoying your life.

The defense of this place was not as impeccable as that of the bedroom. Qian Lin successfully sneaked in without much effort, but after walking around it, she did not find any obvious problems.

If I have to say... the eunuch in charge here is a half-step grandmaster disguised as a man, which is a bit weird.

Hidden in the aroma of food from the imperial kitchen is a smell that Qian Lin is very familiar with, representing the smell of Hehuan Valley.

Your Majesty, the food you eat every day is provided by Hehuan Valley. I'm afraid your health is not very good.

“There’s not much problem with the ingredients. The drugs were probably put directly into the food after it was cooked…” Qian Lin curled his lips. The food here is not even as good as that of Yao Chi’s inner disciples.

Joining the Holy Land was indeed a wise choice.

Keeping in mind the information that the imperial kitchen had been infiltrated by Hehuan Valley, Qian Lin left this place and ran towards the harem area.

Since she couldn't enter the bedroom, she would go to the harem to take a look. If she was lucky, she might be able to dig up some interesting information.

Compared to the sparsely guarded imperial kitchen, the defense in the harem was slightly stronger, but still at a level that could be defended by Qian Lin Youlong.

You younger generations are still too careless!

Qian Lin entered the deserted harem area effortlessly. Looking at the few palaces with sparse lights on, it seemed that the old emperor did not have many harem members?

However, the old emperor had quite a few children, including more than ten sons and daughters. The little princess that Qian Lin knew was one of them, and the little princess was not the old emperor's youngest child.

The little princess once told Qian Lin that she had several younger brothers and sisters, but their relationship was not very good.

Everyone has a different mother, so naturally their relationship isn’t very good.

For the little princess, not having a brother was probably a kind of luck, as it allowed her to stay out of the fierce battle for the throne. Anyway, she was an unpopular princess, no one cared about her, and no one expected her help.

It is undoubtedly fortunate to be able to stay out of such a terrible storm.

Qian Lin, who had taken a tour around the harem, also made some discoveries. The rooms of some concubines also had the familiar scent of the Hehuan Valley. However, these scents were not the faint scents of the people of the Hehuan Valley, but rather quite strong scents that could have some kind of effect.

When I saw the incense burner working in the room, I knew it was the spices produced by Hehuan Valley.

Your Majesty, there are many traitors in your harem. Congratulations.

Of course, it would be too arbitrary to insist that these concubines are related to Hehuan Valley. In terms of love between men and women, Hehuan Valley is undoubtedly the furthest along among all the sects.

The top prostitutes in brothels have to secretly seek guidance from Hehuan Valley on techniques. It is not uncommon for concubines vying for favor in the harem to use such unconventional methods to maintain their status.

Perhaps they themselves didn't know where these spices came from, they only knew that they were very useful and could make the emperor like them more.

These concubines are all ordinary people. In their eyes, Hehuan Valley may just be the villain in some stories. As for the things they use, who knows where they come from?

But if you use this thing too much, it will definitely cause irreversible damage to your body.

Just the few concubines that Qian Lin had seen who had used the spices from the Hehuan Valley had their bodies almost hollowed out. If they hadn't used something to keep them alive, they would probably have died long ago.

If the concubines are like this, how much better can the emperor's condition be?

I guess she is not much different from these concubines.

Qian Lin quietly took some spices from the incense burners of several concubines. He was quite satisfied with his harvest tonight. At least he had successfully caught the fox's tail in Hehuan Valley.

After quickly leaving the palace along the same route, Qian Lin met up with Senior Sister Gu Xue who had been hiding near the palace, and informed her of all his discoveries.

Looking at the spices that Qian Lin handed to her, Gu Xue's expression became serious, "Tomorrow morning, I will go to see the emperor."

She needed to confirm with her own eyes what the old emperor was like.

"I'm afraid he won't see you. I suspect that his majesty has now been completely controlled by Hehuan Valley. It's hard to say whether he is alive or dead."

"If I can't see him, then I have sufficient reason to suspect that the emperor of the Canglong Empire was assassinated by the demons. In order to prevent the empire from internal strife and allow the demons to take advantage of the situation, Yaochi must fulfill its responsibility as a holy place of the righteous path and strangle any possible crisis in the cradle."

Gu Xue's voice was extremely calm, but her words made Qian Lin's heart skip a beat.

"Maintaining world peace is the common responsibility of all holy places. Other holy places cannot sit idly by and watch a great country like the Canglong Empire, which plays an important role in the East, being destroyed by the devil. I will send a message to those holy places and invite them to come together to maintain the stability of the empire."

Senior Sister Gu, you are worthy of being my senior sister, and you are worthy of being the ruthless person who was killed by the masters of the evil way back then!

If you were not dead, there would be no need for Ye Qiuhan to be the Saint. It must be you who becomes the Saint!

Qian Lin thought she had been ruthless enough, but now she realized that compared with Senior Sister Gu, she was still a little too slow and did not have the aura of a disciple of a holy land at all.

Look at Senior Sister Gu, I mean what I say. If you don't see me, I will conclude that you have been killed by the evil ways. Then I will directly call on other holy places to come down. If all seven holy places come down together, it will be a wonderful scene.

If the old emperor of the Canglong Empire was still alive, facing Gu Xue's "threat", Hehuan Valley would probably have no choice but to release him to meet Gu Xue.
