Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

If you are right, then there is no problem at all. Just beat the opponent to death first!

"As for Nan Ci, let him stay here for now. It doesn't matter if there is one more mouth to feed." Qian Lin had some guesses about what Venerable Huanyue was thinking, but she didn't care much about what this good sister wanted to do.

The Nan family should be unusual. If there are really many such feathers in their family, Qian Lin has some plans to get involved in this matter.

This kind of feather is very effective in fighting against the backlash of Xuanming. If he gets more of them, Qian Lin feels that he can definitely solve the backlash problem quickly.

And Miss Nan Ci is the perfect excuse for her to intervene in the Nan family's situation.

Is there anything wrong with me helping others when I see injustice? I, Qian Lin, am such a person with a sense of justice!

"Okay, I'll gather the information as quickly as possible. It shouldn't take more than a few days."

……

Venerable Huanyue said that it would take a few days, but in fact, only one day had passed before she found Qian Lin with a jade slip full of information. The spies from the Hehuan Valley scattered throughout the southern border had sent the information related to the Nan family not long ago, but Venerable Huanyue did not notice it.

This time Qian Lin said that he wanted to collect intelligence on the Nan family, so Venerable Huanyue asked the undercover agent and only then did he realize that he already had the information in his hands.

"According to our people, there was a traitor in the Nan family who leaked the news that the Nan family had hidden a treasure to the Fire Lotus Sect in the southern border. The Fire Lotus Sect was very interested in this treasure, but their strength was not enough to force the Nan family to hand over the treasure, so they gathered many large sects together to try to take the treasure from the Nan family."

"The Nan family has now been pushed to the brink of desperation by these sects. The Nan Ci in the room should be the one who came out to seek help. However, all the sects in the southern border have been warned by those sects, so it is unlikely that they will help the Nan family."

As he spoke, Venerable Huayue shook his head. The people in the Southern Territory were really full of martial virtues. They were willing to wipe out an entire family just for a treasure. That was too evil.

Several sects were joining forces to target the Nan Family. Each of them was a well-known and large sect in the Southern Territory. When they united together, they could even challenge the weaker Holy Land Demon Sect. But now, they had become like this just for a treasure.

Alas, even the Demon Sect would not be so shameless.

"A treasure? What exactly is it?" Qian Lin, who was throwing herbs into the boiling water, was stunned when he heard this. A treasure that could make so many sects in the Southern Territory unite to target a family shouldn't be an ordinary treasure, right?

Venerable Huanyue shook her head. The nails she had placed in the southern border could not access such secrets. These were all she knew at the moment.

"I'm not sure, but since it can unite so many sects, this treasure must be pretty good." Venerable Huanyue thought for a moment and cast his gaze in a certain direction, "Why don't we ask that Nan Ci? She's from the Nan family, maybe she knows something about it."

Nan Ci has been under house arrest in the room for the past two days. The door has been restricted by Venerable Huanyue, and two monks from the Hehuan Valley who were temporarily summoned are guarding the door. It is impossible for him to go out.

Miss Nan Ci's emotions were relatively stable about this. To be honest, the other party was probably just fulfilling the instructions in the eldest lady's letter, right?

"Okay, then bring her here. If this treasure really has something to say... Sister Yue Huai, you shouldn't mind Hehuan Valley's reputation being a little worse, right?" Qian Lin's expression suddenly became sinister.

"You want to make the Demon Sect have a good reputation? Are you trying to borrow the name of Hehuan Valley?" Venerable Huanyue raised his eyebrows. His good sister was really a wonderful person. She could even think of such a method.

Your status as a righteous person is preventing you from displaying your intelligence and talents, right?

"Alas, Sister Yue Huai, you also know that the righteous must be a little bit shameless and cannot take the initiative to snatch other people's treasures. But the evil way does not need to care so much. If you like it, just snatch it, and others can't say anything."

In fact, Qian Lin is no different from those sects that have set their eyes on the Nan family's treasures. The only difference is that she won't think of wiping out an entire family.

As for the treasure, she was really interested in it. If it was the same red feather in her hand, Qian Lin would really try every means to get it.

"You are the righteous one. I think you are better as a demon than a righteous one." Venerable Huanyue laughed, "Too hypocritical."

"This can't be called hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is talking about justice while doing dirty things. I don't talk about moral principles." Qian Lin spread his hands with an expression that said, 'How can this be called hypocrisy?'

This is clearly consistent in appearance and reality!

Regarding Qian Lin's shameless and invincible performance, Venerable Huanyue poked Qian Lin's forehead in annoyance, saying that you little girl is not suitable to play the role of Hehuan Valley, why not try to play the role of Xuanyin Sect.

Those guys look more like you.

"Think about it carefully first. Oh, Nan Ci is here."

Nan Ci, who was closely 'protected' by two monks from the Hehuan Valley, walked into the small courtyard filled with the aroma of medicine. Looking at the various medicinal herbs floating in the boiling water pool, a hint of doubt suddenly flashed across Nan Ci's face.

What are you doing?

Make hot pot?

"You two, please leave." Reaching out his hand to dismiss the two bodyguards, Venerable Huanyue pointed to the stone bench beside him, motioning Nan Ci to sit down and talk, "I asked you to come here this time because I want to ask about the Nan family."

It was not Venerable Huanyue's habit to speak directly to the point. However, if he wanted to find out what kind of secret treasure the Nan family had hidden, he certainly couldn't use indirect methods.

It's better to just ask directly, and don't bother with that nonsense stuff.

"I have heard a little about the current situation of the Nan family, but I still have some doubts about the reason why the Nan family suffered this disaster. What on earth could allow so many major clans to unite and attack your Nan family?" Venerable Huanyue looked into Nan Ci's eyes and asked word by word.

Nan Ci's face changed and he was about to speak subconsciously.

But before she could say anything, Venerable Huanyue interrupted her again, "You need to think carefully before you speak. The Nan family is in a bad situation right now, and we still want to get involved."

283. Nan Family Situation

The situation that the Nan family is facing now is complete isolation and helplessness. There is no force in the entire southern region that dares to directly conflict with the sect alliance. It is really not worth it to make enemies with so many sects for a small Nan family.

At this time, external forces need to appear. Among them, the Hehuan Valley represented by Venerable Huanyue is a very good choice.

Make enemies with the forces in the southern border?

This is not a big deal. After we accomplish this mission, we will return to Zhongzhou and the Northern Territory. You guys in the Southern Territory have the guts to chase us to the Northern Territory. Do you have the courage?

"Compare that treasure with the lives of your entire Nan family. I think you should know what to choose." Qian Lin stood aside and said softly.

"Those sects want to completely wipe out your Nan family from the land of the southern border, but we don't have such an idea. Our goal is also very simple. If the treasure is valuable to us, then we will take it away. If not, then your Nan family will be on your own."

"Trust us, even if those sects join together, they are still no match for us. As for the credibility issue, you can rest assured."

Qian Lin reached out from under the thick cloak and tucked her hair behind her ears, her eyes fixed on Nan Ci's. "I mean what I said. This is a deal. I'll use the treasure in exchange for the lives of your Nan family."

Nan Ci bit her lips, her eyes full of confusion. She didn't know what to do now, but she knew that if she did nothing, then the Nan family would really be doomed.

Those sects have already put their knives to the neck of the Nan family. As long as they find an opportunity, they will chop it down and slaughter the entire Nan family.

The reason they don't take action now is because they haven't found a way to open the secret treasure of the Nan family.

Although Nan Ci didn't know what the solution was, she felt that it would not be able to stop those sects for too long. Now, members of the Nan family who were not in the main family of the Nan family had begun to be assassinated one after another. Her eldest daughter asked her to go here for help after she encountered an assassination attempt.

The eldest daughter herself chose to return to the Nan family's main home to face the impending disaster with her clansmen.

Nan Ci felt that his eldest daughter should know how to open the secret realm, and she must have returned to the Nan family at this critical juncture to keep the secret.

"I don't know what that treasure is, but I heard from the eldest lady before that the treasure is related to the legendary beast Vermillion Bird." Finally, Nan Ci relented and told what he knew.

A treasure related to Suzaku? No wonder it attracted the covetousness of the sects in the southern border.

Qian Lin showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. For these sects that were mainly composed of fire-attributed cultivators, treasures related to the Vermillion Bird would simply make them go crazy.

No matter what the treasure looks like or what effect it has, the fact that it is related to Suzaku means that this treasure is extraordinary.

If you are lucky, the effect of this treasure is so strong that it can even allow a sect to leap to the same level as a holy land!

"Sister Yue Huai, it seems we need to make a trip." Qian Lin looked at the calm and composed Venerable Huanyue and spoke.

If it was just an ordinary fire-attributed treasure, it would be fine, but since it was related to Suzaku, she had to pay attention to it. Maybe the treasure hidden by the Nan family was something like the Dragon Emperor Sword?

The Dragon Emperor Sword is a treasure related to the Azure Dragon, and everyone has seen what it was used for in the end.

Anyway, since this treasure concerns a divine beast, Qian Lin would never allow it to fall into the hands of others.

"Okay, I'll prepare two sachets for you and a set of black clothes." After hearing the name Suzaku, Venerable Huanyue knew that he had to go on this trip.

Qian Lin's Xuanming backlash requires the power of Suzaku to dissipate, and treasures related to Suzaku cannot be taken by those guys in the southern border. Combining these two reasons, it seems that they have no choice but to wade through this muddy water.

The two sachets were prepared so that Qian Lin could play the role of a cultivator from Hehuan Valley, and the black clothes were prepared so that Qian Lin could play the role of a cultivator from Xuanyin Sect. In addition to Qian Lin's own identity as a direct descendant of Yao Chi, he could use quite a lot of identities.

"Thank you for your help." Qian Lin nodded, then looked at Nan Ci again, "Tell me everything you know about the Nan family. Remember, everything. Now this matter is not only related to the Nan family, but also to the entire Southern Territory, and even the entire world."

Qian Lin’s serious expression made Nan Ci wonder, could a treasure affect the entire world?

Could this be a lie? But Qian Lin's serious expression didn't seem fake. Nan Ci looked at him for a long time but couldn't see any signs that Qian Lin was acting.

This white-haired lady was talking to him seriously, she was not joking, Nan Ci thought to himself.

"Perhaps you people in the Southern Territory don't know how important the four sacred beasts are, but we do know that the treasure in your Nan family's hands may be the key." After a moment of silence, Qian Lin continued, "No matter what, that treasure can no longer be controlled by your Nan family."

The Nan family is too weak, so it is better to hand over such an important treasure to a more powerful holy land for safekeeping.

"Oh, Sister Yue Huai, please help me send a letter to Yao Chi and tell Master and the others what happened here. Ask them to send someone over to help. They must know how serious this matter is!"

Qian Lin didn't believe that after the Azure Dragon in the East Territory was unsealed, Master and the others would not know how important the divine beast was.

After the incident in the east, problems arose again in the south. Qian Lin's keen intuition told her that this time things would not be simple.

"I would do it even if you didn't tell me."

"That's good."

At this time, Nan Ci finally made a decision after much hesitation, and she chose to grab Qian Lin as a life-saving straw.

If nothing is done, the eldest lady and the Nan family will definitely not have any chance of surviving the disaster. But if Qian Lin's force is allowed to take action, although the Nan family's treasures may not be saved, it will definitely be much better than the previous outcome.

At least, a lot of people should be able to survive, right?

"Miss Qian, I am willing to tell you everything about the Nan family, and I am willing to take you to find the eldest lady, but I want your promise to save the eldest lady's life." Nan Ci took a deep breath and made a decision that might make him be called a traitor.

It seemed unbelievable no matter how you looked at it that she told Qian Lin, a stranger whom she had only known for a few days, everything she knew about the Nan family, but Nan Ci felt that it was the right thing to do.

Miss Qian, with her long snow-white hair and delicate aura, exudes an aura that makes people want to believe in her. From the first moment he saw her, Nan Ci felt that this lady was not an ordinary person.

He is frank and never hides his thoughts, which is very representative of the country.

She even felt that the eldest lady she had served for many years was like a country girl compared to this Miss Qian.

And this Miss Qian is the real daughter of a wealthy family.

"The Nan family rose to prominence two thousand years ago..."

The history of the Nan family is simple. There were several masters in their ancestors, and the descendants were also quite capable. Each generation could produce several masters to support the situation. Over time, they have established a firm foothold in the southern border and become a force of moderate size.

But more than ten years ago, the old patriarch of the Nan family died in an accident, and along with him also died another great master of the Nan family at the time. As a result, the Nan family suddenly fell from a powerful force with three great masters to the embarrassing situation of having only one great master.

After losing two masters at once, the other forces that were originally suppressed by the Nan family began to get restless, wanting to take this opportunity to drive the Nan family into the abyss and make it impossible for them to recover.

Fortunately, the Nan family's influence is still there, and those villains dare not have a direct conflict with the Nan family. They can only use some small tricks in secret to disgust the Nan family.

But even so, the Nan family still found it difficult to cope with the situation, and finally had to drastically shrink its sphere of influence and seek self-protection in this chaotic situation.

Fortunately, the next generation of the Nan family is about to grow up. If they only wait a few more decades, the Nan family will be able to regain a few powerful masters and take back all the land they have lost. This is also the reason that has supported the Nan family to persist until now.

The eldest lady that Nan Ci serves is one of those geniuses. At the age of just over 30, she already possesses the strength of a mid-stage Body Tempering Realm. It can be said that the possibility of her becoming a Grandmaster in the future is very high.

Well, a man in his thirties who is in the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm can really be considered a genius in the traditional sense. Not everyone can be as amazing as Qian Lin Ye Qiuhan.

"But a year ago, the Fire Lotus Sect suddenly sent people to our door and asked us to hand over our treasure. The head of the family sternly rejected the Fire Lotus Sect's extortion, and things became like this." Nan Ci sighed lightly and talked about what happened a year ago.

A traitor appeared in the Nan family and leaked the family secret to the Huolian Sect. Upon receiving the news, the Huolian Sect immediately contacted the Nan family and made a demand that the Nan family absolutely could not accept.

Not only did they demand handing over the treasure, they also demanded that the Nan family's eldest daughter marry their young master, and that the Nan family completely become a subsidiary family of the Fire Lotus Sect. How could the Nan family possibly accept such a request?

Not only do they want treasures, they also want to swallow up the entire Nan family in one gulp. The Fire Lotus Sect's appetite is really outrageous.

After being rejected, the Huo Lian Sect became furious and gathered a large alliance to tear the Nan family apart and snatch the treasure. However, because they did not know how to open the secret treasure realm of the Nan family, they did not dare to take direct action.

The situation remained at a stalemate, and the Nan family was now almost unable to hold on.

People's hearts are in turmoil. If this continues, there may be more than just one traitor. Instead, more than half of the Nan family members will be thinking about finding a way out for themselves.

You see, even the eldest daughter of the Nan family sent the maid who had been with her for decades to another place before returning to her family. This shows that the eldest daughter has already prepared for the worst.

"It's a classic scene of killing people and stealing treasures, but you people in the southern border are a bit slow in doing things." After hearing what happened, Qian Lin touched his chin and gave an evaluation that left Nan Ci a little confused.

What does it mean to be procrastinating? Is this procrastination?

"If it were me, the Nan family would have disappeared from the land of the southern border." Qian Lin added.

He was so procrastinating. He wanted to kill people and steal the treasure, but he stayed there waiting for more than a year. It was really a disgrace to the villain.

If Qian Lin were to become the leader of this alliance, the treasure might not be found, but the Nan family would definitely be gone by now.

As for how to find this treasure, there are so many captives after killing the Nan family. We can just torture them one by one. There is always a way to pry open the mouths of these stubborn people.

Miss Qian is serious about what she said! Nan Ci's pupils shrank. What a confident and calm attitude!

She looked at the lady in front of her, as if she saw an emperor who could make clouds and rain with a wave of his hand.

"Go on, tell me about the distribution of power within the Nan family." Qian Lin didn't care about the change in Nan Ci's expression, and waved his hand to signal Nan Ci to continue.

"Okay, first of all, the Patriarch's faction..."

The current head of the Nan family was forced to take the position more than ten years ago. Before that, he had not been very well-known in the Nan family. Everyone only knew that this master was the younger brother of the previous head, and the relationship between the two brothers was pretty good.

After taking on the task in a time of crisis, the abilities displayed by this patriarch surprised everyone. It turned out that there was such a capable person hidden in the family. It seemed that the Nan family still had hope for revival.

After more than ten years of ups and downs, the patriarch has now firmly established his position as patriarch, and his son has become a candidate for the next patriarch. However, unlike before, his path to succession may not be smooth.
