Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

Because the daughter of the previous head of the family, Nan Ci's master, the eldest lady of the Nan family is still alive.

In these years, the eldest daughter of the Nan family has been traveling outside to find out the reason for her father's death. She has not interfered too much in the internal affairs of the Nan family. However, there are still some die-hard fans of the former head of the family who are building momentum for her, hoping that she, the eldest daughter, will become the next head of the family.

After all, compared with the incompetent son of the current head of the family, the beautiful, kind-hearted and powerful eldest daughter of the Nan family seems to be more attractive. Moreover, as the eldest daughter of the Nan family, it is legitimate for her to inherit the position of head of the family, and no one will say anything.

Although the eldest daughter of the Nan family had no idea about the position of the head of the family, those people were still trying hard to build momentum for her, causing many different voices to be heard within the Nan family.

"It sounds a bit troublesome. Do you think that your master's son has been blinded by greed and is desperate?" Qian Lin was picking the leaves of the medicinal herbs at hand one by one. He was completely confused this time.

Oh, it's too confusing, she's really not good at this kind of conspiracy.

"I don't think it's likely. The young master has a good personality, and the head of the family is still young and strong. Even if he feels threatened, he can't stab us in the back at this time." Nan Ci shook his head and expressed his thoughts.

284. Progress

It is not easy for a master to die of natural old age. The current head of the Nan family may only live to three digits. It would be too short-sighted to betray the family at this time. Nan Ci felt that the young master was not stupid enough to that extent.

As for the other people in the family, she was not very familiar with them and didn't know whether the traitor was among them.

After listening to Nan Ci's story, Qian Lin cast a helpless look at Venerable Huanyue. It seemed that this time he would have to use his fists instead of his brain to think.

"I almost understand. You go back and stay here for now. We'll go to the Nan family with you in two days when we're ready." Qian Lin called the two monks from the Hehuan Valley who were waiting outside to take Nan Ci away. He looked at the sky with a hint of emotion in his voice, "There shouldn't be any big problems this time, right?"

"Don't say such things. I'm a little nervous." Venerable Huanyue immediately held Qian Lin's shoulders and sternly warned Qian Lin not to say such things at this time.

As soon as you said this, something that was not dangerous at all will become more difficult.

"Superstitious! Those sects should not be very powerful, otherwise how could the Nan family last so long?" Qian Lin twisted her body, twisted off Venerable Huanyue's hand, then took off her clothes one by one and jumped into the pool filled with medicinal herbs.

As streams of heat seeped into his body, gradually dissipating the coldness lingering in his body, Qian Lin revealed an expression of enjoyment.

It's quite comfortable, but the time and resources required to deal with the backlash of Xuanming are too much. She might have to spend all her savings here.

The medicinal herbs that Venerable Huanyue had someone bring her a few days ago were only enough for her to use for a few days, and if she wanted to completely resolve the backlash in her body, it would probably take years, so she thought of trying her luck at the Nan family and seeing if she could get a treasure that could effectively fight against the backlash of Xuanming.

Qian Lin is really fed up with this body that is so weak that it can't even do any strenuous exercise!

Was it because she didn't want to use the sword when she was bullying the weak before?

She can't use it!

"Ever since I started studying astrology, I found that the mysterious talk of those people in the Xuanyin Sect is actually understandable. The stars in the sky do tell me something." Venerable Huanyue laughed. She was not superstitious, but she knew something about the secret art of astrology.

"Then you can calculate how our industry is progressing."

"Things involving your good sister are not something that a half-baked person like me can calculate." Shrugging his shoulders, Venerable Huanyue generously admitted that his astrology was not very useful.

It was no problem to count some daily trivia, but nothing related to Qian Lin was a trifle, and she couldn't count them at all.

But she didn't care much about it. What she valued was the combat effectiveness of the star and moon spiritual power, rather than the divination skills that were just scraps of information here.

"But this trip may take quite some time. Can your body handle it?"

It would take at least several months to get involved in the Nan family's affairs, during which time he might even encounter various dangers. Venerable Huanyue was somewhat worried whether Qian Lin's current physical condition could sustain such consumption.

If you can't hold on, then don't go. Just stay here and take a hot spring bath. Although the recovery speed is a bit slow, it is more stable.

As for consumption, there is no need to worry about it. If Venerable Huanyue really has no money, he can just go and beg for money or something. How can a Venerable be short of spirit stones to spend?

"Prepare some emergency pills. It shouldn't be a problem to last for two months. If there are still many feathers like this in their Nan family, I guess I may not have to come back here."

Carrying the red feather with you is equivalent to soaking in this spring water all the time, which can effectively suppress the backlash of Xuanming.

As long as Qian Lin doesn't abuse the Xuanming spiritual energy, her physical condition will not worsen. With the help of various medicinal herbs, she can even heal her body while taking care of the Nan family's affairs.

Just for the sake of this red feather, Qian Lin is willing to wade into this muddy water.

"Okay, then I'll have my men go and get some information. If it's urgent, I'll go over there and calm the situation down."

"Sorry to bother Sister Yue Huai. When we get the treasure, we will split the profits 50-50."

"Look at what you said. It makes me so embarrassed." Venerable Huanyue immediately showed a bright smile. This good sister really knows how to behave. She likes dealing with girls like Qian Lin.

It feels so comfortable! It’s much better than those useless subordinates of mine!

……

"A-choo!" Rubbing his itchy nose, the undercover agent looked at the secret letter in his hand and couldn't help but wonder why he sneezed for no apparent reason. Was someone scolding him behind his back?

But it seems that not many people know about me, an intelligence officer who has been hiding in the shadows?

Only the Venerable and a few of his Southern Territory subordinates knew of his existence.

The Venerable would definitely not scold him, because he is now the Venerable's most trusted subordinate. In the entire southern region, the only leader above him is Venerable Huanyue, who does not take care of things. He reports directly to Venerable Huanyue and can also give orders to other monks from the Hehuan Valley in the southern region.

Even his orders are the orders of Venerable Huanyue. What does it mean to be second to none and above ten thousand people?

Of course, Mr. Undercover also knew the reason why he was so valued. The Venerable was taking care of Qian Lin wholeheartedly and had no time to deal with these troublesome matters.

Moreover, in the secret realm of the East Territory, the Venerable seemed to have obtained a lot of benefits. His expression recently was very excited and happy. After he went through untold hardships to run from the East Territory to the South Territory to find the Venerable again, the Venerable even directly gave him a secret method of cultivation and a spiritual weapon.

This is the secret method of cultivation and the spiritual weapon given by the Venerable! Mr. Undercover felt that his two years of hard work had not been in vain. Following Venerable Huanyue, there would really be meat to eat!

With the addition of Qian Lin's existence, Mr. Undercover's loyalty to Venerable Huanyue is now beyond words. He is Venerable Huanyue's most loyal dog, and he will bite anyone who dares to say bad things about Venerable Huanyue.

Therefore, the ones who spoke ill of him were definitely not Venerable Huanyue, but those useless subordinates!

"The Venerable asked me to investigate matters related to the Nan family. It seems that he is also interested in the Nan family's treasures." A few days ago, Mr. Undercover received the news from Venerable Huanyue, and he has been busy with this matter these days.

The Undercover Agent was not surprised that Venerable Huanyue noticed the Nan family. The Nan family is undoubtedly the big star in the southern territory now, so it would be strange if they didn't notice it.

However... it is not so easy to get involved in this matter. There are also Venerables in that sect alliance. Although they are not strong, they are still Venerables after all.

As a cultivator from Hehuan Valley, Mr. Undercover has a relatively clear understanding of his boss's combat effectiveness. He is not like those fanatical followers who think that their boss is invincible and can just rush forward when encountering any danger.

Even if the Venerables of our Hehuan Valley are strong, they can only fight against Venerables of the same level. It is impossible for them to fight against Venerables of higher levels. Venerable Huanyue rarely fights at all, and when he does, it is to bully Grandmasters. Mr. Undercover conservatively estimates that our Venerable can at most draw with the Venerable of the Southern Territory.

If we get into a one-on-two situation, we should be able to hold on for a while and our lives won't be in danger.

One against three, you'd better just forget about it, you definitely can't win.

Fortunately, there are no three venerables in that sect alliance. According to the information already in the hands of the undercover agent, there are only two old venerables in that sect alliance. Venerable Huanyue should be able to intimidate the other party alone.

The current Venerables in the Southern Territory are all relatively old, and the new generation of Venerables has yet to appear. Although many cultivators in the Southern Territory do not say it, they have actually accepted this reality in their hearts.

Of course, the more crucial reason is that the best talents in the Southern Territory will basically go to Zhongzhou to join the Holy Land of Righteousness during the Ascension Conference. The resources of the Holy Land of Zhongzhou are much more than those in the Southern Territory.

The Nan family treasure that the sect alliance is eyeing this time might be a treasure that can increase the speed of cultivation. The undercover agent heard some rumors that the Nan family has been able to produce master-level warriors for so many consecutive generations because of that treasure.

In fact, the Nan family’s talents are not that good. It was only thanks to that treasure that they were able to become one of the powerful families.

"Sir!" A female monk in a black nightgown rushed into the undercover's room in quick steps and shouted in an anxious voice.

"You're shouting and yelling, how can you be so disgraceful? Tell me what's the matter." The undercover agent glanced at the Body Tempering Realm cultivator who rushed in with some dissatisfaction and asked in a cold voice.

"There's a new situation at the Nan family that you asked us to pay attention to!"

Is there any new situation at the Nan family? Mr. Undercover's expression changed. This is a big deal.

"The Sect Alliance has officially sent someone to negotiate with the Nan Family. The two sides seem to have agreed to use a tournament to decide the winner. We don't know the details yet, but we can be sure that the Nan Family is almost unable to hold on, otherwise they would not agree to such a request."

"You guys are doing great. Keep paying attention over there and do your best to find out the situation of this tournament."

"Yes!"

……

"Hey, playing games, when did people from the Southern Territory become so literary?" Qian Lin was curious when he heard that the Sect Alliance and the Nan Family were going to use this method to resolve the conflict.

If this method is used in other places to solve problems between major forces, it is understandable.

But this is the southern border, and the sect alliance still has an absolute advantage. Isn't it a bit unbelievable to suddenly use this method to determine the ownership of the treasure at this time?

Qian Lin's intuition told him that there must be something fishy going on.

"The time is set for one month later, and the location is a large arena built by the sect alliance outside the main city of the Nan family. The venue was actually prepared by one party alone. It seems that the Nan family is indeed in a weak position." Venerable Huanyue looked at the information in his hand that was rushed out by Mr. Undercover, and his expression began to become strange.

This competition was completely unfair to the Nan family. The venue was prepared by the other party, and they could only send out three people, while their opponents had five people.

If they lost the battle, the Nan family would not only have to hand over the treasure, but also pay a large amount of compensation, and even have to marry the eldest daughter of the Nan family to the young master of the Fire Lotus Sect.

It can be said that if the Nan family loses this competition, they will basically be doomed.

"Both sides can ask for external aid. The requirement is that they must be under 50 years old, and their cultivation level is not limited..." Qian Lin looked at one of the rules and fell into deep thought, "Who is the most powerful genius in the Southern Territory right now?"

"He's a fifty-year-old early-stage Grandmaster, and happens to be a disciple of the Fire Lotus Sect. The rest of those 'geniuses' are basically fools, you don't have to worry." Venerable Huanyue shook her head. A fifty-year-old Grandmaster is considered a top-notch genius in the Southern Territory, but compared to the good sister in front of her, there is still a big gap.

Qian Lin, a master in his twenties, the gap is obvious.

“Then we don’t need to worry about the geniuses in the South. What we need to worry about is the foreign aid they invite. If they find some powerful geniuses from Zhongzhou, we may not be able to win this game easily.” When Qian Lin heard that the most powerful genius on the opposite side was only in the early stage of Grandmaster, he was no longer afraid.

Let’s see what kind of external aid these people can invite. If they invite a super genius from the Holy Land, Qian Lin probably won’t have much to do.

Her current physical condition does not allow her to fight against opponents of higher levels.

However, if they are senior brothers and sisters from the Holy Land, I can still show my face and sit down with them to discuss the pros and cons. I believe that they know what to do and what not to do.

It doesn't seem to be a wise choice to make enemies with Qian Lin, a rising star of righteousness, for the sake of a sect alliance in the southern border.

"Forget it, let's go to the Nan family first. Maybe they won't let us help."

"What identity do you plan to use to contact the Nan family? Qian Lin, Yao Chi's direct disciple, or an unknown cultivator from Hehuan Valley?" Venerable Huanyue had no objection to Qian Lin's decision. She could still control herself in a small scene of this level.

Even if the other party wants to do something desperate, she is not afraid.

"For the time being, I will not use the identity of Yao Chi Qian Lin. The identity of a direct disciple of the righteous path is too restrictive when doing certain things. From today on, I will be the little disciple of He Huan Valley!"

As a direct descendant of Yao Chi, she represents the reputation of Yao Chi when she walks outside, but she has ulterior motives in going to help this time.

If I approached her as a disciple of Yao Chi, I could easily gain her trust, but how could she ask for a reward after helping her fight? I couldn't just say, "I actually have my eyes on your baby, too," right?

That would seem to be a bit too damaging to Yao Chi's reputation.

But as a disciple of Hehuan Valley, I don’t have such concerns. After all, I am a demon. I have helped you get through this difficult time. How can you not pay a price?

If the other side wins, your Nan family will be completely finished. If I help you win, I will only take that treasure. Anyone can tell which is better, right?

Qian Lin believed that the people of the Nan family could make a wise choice.

"Then I'll make up an identity for you as the Saint of Hehuan Valley?"

"...I just abducted a saint from Hehuan Valley and brought her back to Yaochi a few years ago. Now you want me to be the saint. Why do I feel weird?"

285. Let the wolf into the house

The Holy Maiden of Hehuan Valley is not a good title. Qian Lin thinks it is better to give it to Huayue to continue using it. She can just be an ordinary and unknown cultivator in Hehuan Valley.

"Can an ordinary cultivator from the Hehuan Valley have such strength? Judging from the strength you have shown, your status in the Hehuan Valley must not be low. I have to make up a suitable identity for you, right?" Venerable Huanyue said that he had no choice. You, Qian Lin, are so powerful and such a genius. Who would really believe that you are just an ordinary disciple of the Hehuan Valley?

"If this matter gets out, it will affect my reputation. Anyway, you can't just tell others my identity and let them guess." Qian Lin thought about it and found that what Venerable Huanyue said did make sense.

Then just take a step back, say something that seems to be true but is not, and let others guess.

Anyway, I didn't say what my identity is. Everything is just your imagination. It has nothing to do with me.

"Okay, let's prepare to go to the Nan family. I will send someone to discuss the terms with the Nan family first."

……

So, a few days later, a master suddenly appeared outside the gate of the Nan family, shouting that he had something important to say to the head of the Nan family.

A visit from a master was no small matter, so the Nan family hurriedly welcomed the master into their home, and the head of the Nan family also dropped what he was doing and came to greet him in person.

"I heard that your Nan family hasn't been doing well recently." After meeting the head of the Nan family, the undercover agent stated his purpose straight away.

Your Nan family has encountered difficulties, and I am here to help you.

Hearing Mr. Undercover's words, the seemingly gentle and refined head of the Nan family froze in his expression. His intuition told him that this great master who came to visit him probably had no good intentions.

But for the Nan family now, someone willing to help is already a pleasant surprise. The head of the Nan family welcomed the undercover gentleman into the study, dismissed the servants, and spoke without any courtesy.

"So, what does this fellow Taoist want from our Nan family?"

"I think Patriarch Nan should be able to guess my purpose. The only thing that interests us about your Nan family is that thing." Mr. Undercover smiled confidently and said word by word, "Since we dare to get involved, we have full confidence in helping your Nan family overcome difficulties."

"And the price you need to pay is just the treasure that you can no longer keep. This is a very cost-effective deal."

"This is impossible! I will never give away such a treasure. If you are here for this matter, I can only tell you, don't even think about it!" Upon hearing the words of the undercover, the expression of the head of the Nan family immediately turned gloomy. He took a deep breath and said without hesitation.

"Are you confident that you can win that competition that is completely biased towards one side? If you fail to win, your Nan family will suffer even greater damage, and the young lady will become someone else's property."
