Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

Faced with the resolute attitude of the Nan family's patriarch, Mr. Undercover was not too surprised. After all, how could a negotiation be successful right from the start?

Everyone has to follow the process, you take a cut and I take a cut, and finally reach a condition that both parties can accept. In his opinion, as long as he shows his sincerity and strength, the head of the Nan family will definitely surrender in the end.

Unless the head of the family is really willing to sacrifice the entire family for that treasure, but the undercover agent feels that this shrewd and capable head of the family should be able to clearly understand the pros and cons.

But the subsequent negotiation process really made the undercover agent feel helpless. The head of the family just refused to give in, as if the treasure was his life.

Even though the undercover agent even brought up the Venerable, the Nan family's Patriarch still refused to give in.

"You can ask for other things, even if it means letting my child or Nan Xiao go to your place, but I cannot give you that treasure."

Nan Xiao is the eldest daughter of the Nan family and the most talented member of the new generation of the Nan family.

But now, she has become a bargaining chip that seems to be used at will, which is really sad.

If the sect alliance wins, Nan Xiao will marry the young master of the Fire Lotus Sect. If the undercover agent wins, this young lady will be sent to the Hehuan Valley as a thank-you gift. No matter which side wins, this young lady seems to be the biggest loser.

Does the Nan family think so little of their eldest daughter? Mr. Undercover secretly complained in his heart.

Besides, what use is there for them in Hehuan Valley to have a young lady from the Nan family? Admittedly, this young lady has good talent, but there are also geniuses of this level in Hehuan Valley.

There's no need to clash with such a powerful enemy for such a person. It's not worth it!

Venerable Huanyue’s attitude was very clear, she only wanted that treasure and nothing else.

The attitude of the head of the Nan family was also very firm. He said that only that treasure could not be given, but he could give all the others.

As a result, the negotiations came to a complete deadlock. The undercover agent tried again, but after finding that the head of the Nan family was really unmoved, he shook his head helplessly.

It seems that there is no way to break the deadlock from the Nan family's side.

"In that case, you, the Nan family, just take care of yourselves. Goodbye!" The undercover agent left the study room angrily. He was really troubled now.

I had thought that this negotiation would go smoothly, but the head of the Nan family turned out to be so unreasonable. Is it necessary to sacrifice the entire family for a treasure?

It's not necessary!

Is the baby more important or the family more important? This should not be a difficult multiple-choice question to judge.

Is there no smart person in the Nan family who can answer this kind of multiple-choice question... Wait, it seems that the Nan family is not united either?

The undercover's eyes lit up. There was not only one voice in the Nan family. In addition to the head of the Nan family, the eldest daughter of the Nan family also had her own power.

If he could reach a consensus with the eldest lady of the Nan family, the result should be the same. If the head of the Nan family has any objections to this, then let him have his objections underground.

In this way, the eldest daughter of the Nan family can be promoted to the position of the head of the Nan family, and the Nan family can be controlled in one's own hands. Wouldn't it be easy to get the treasure at that time?

"How could I forget this good idea? I was so stupid." After hitting his palm, the undercover agent felt that he was a fool just now. I am a demon, and I should do things in a demonic way.

It’s just a small family whose strongest person is a grandmaster. Why should I think about convincing their head?

If you can't convince this head of the family, then why not just change him? It's such a simple thing.

Thinking of this, the undercover agent immediately straightened his clothes and walked towards another place in the Nan family.

……

"The Nan family's attitude is not clear? How can it be unclear at this time?" When Qian Lin heard the news from Venerable Huanyue, he was a little puzzled. Is that treasure really that important? Is it so important that the Nan family is willing to give up everything for it?

The two of them are now sitting on the back of a large spiritual bird, heading towards the Nan family. At the current speed, they will probably reach the Nan family in a few days.

Nan Ci went ahead with several other monks from the Hehuan Valley to meet up with the undercover agent and try to persuade the eldest lady of the Nan family.

This was also the undercover's own request. He thought it would be a simple matter to persuade Nan Xiao, but he did not expect that this young lady was also very determined. She was unwilling to give away the secret treasure even if it meant sending herself away.

Of course, Nan Xiao's attitude was not that firm, and the undercover agent still saw a glimmer of hope in persuading him, so he asked Venerable Huanyue for some support.

Strangely enough, Mr. Undercover has also privately communicated with other members of the Nan family these days. These Nan family members are very happy to accept the deal proposed by Mr. Undercover. It seems that the head of the Nan family and Nan Xiao are the only ones in the entire Nan family who are unwilling to exchange their lives for treasures.

"Who knows? Maybe in their eyes, that treasure is indeed more important than their entire family." Venerable Huanyue chuckled twice. Such people are not uncommon.

There are always some things that are more important than life, and perhaps this treasure is such a thing to the Nan family.

"So I am even more curious now. What exactly is that treasure?" Qian Lin snorted, curiosity flashing in his eyes.

A treasure that such a family could protect with their lifelong dedication must be extraordinary!

……

"What did you say? There are some blind guys who want to help the Nan family and go against us?"

Mr. Undercover's activities within the Nan family were not hidden from others, so the sect alliance that had planted a mole within the Nan family soon learned that someone wanted to go against them.

The other party's purpose is obvious, they are also after the treasure, and their appetite is huge, they want to take the treasure for themselves.

Really arrogant.

The young master of the Fire Lotus Sect, a cultivator in the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm, sat on a chair with a ferocious expression on his face. They were really a bunch of people who didn't know how to live or die. "Go and kill them. Let them know what they should and shouldn't worry about!"

The Fire Lotus Sect cultivator who was standing not far away with his head down froze in expression, and whispered to the Young Sect Master: "Young Sect Master, the envoy sent by the other party is a powerful Grandmaster. We can't handle the other party by ourselves..."

The other party is now hiding in the Nan family, and the number of grandmasters in the Fire Lotus Sect... is actually only three, and the grandmaster that the young sect master brought out this time is only a mid-stage grandmaster.

The genius early stage grandmaster who was going to compete in the ring match hasn't arrived yet.

Of course, if we take into account the masters of other sects, there should be no problem in driving the other party away. But how much will the Fire Lotus Sect have to pay if it asks the masters of other sects for help at this time?

Is it worth paying such a price?

The Fire Lotus Sect was the initiator of this alliance and was most concerned about the Nan family's treasure, while the other sects were only interested in the treasure and did not send many forces, otherwise the Nan family would not have been able to hold out for so long.

Several larger sects each produced a grandmaster, and the remaining small sects only produced those who were at the Body Tempering Realm, and the Fire Lotus Sect was unable to mobilize those grandmasters.

After all, there is no subordinate relationship between the two parties, it is just a temporary alliance.

"And I heard that the force that got involved this time is very unusual. It's the evil sect from the north!" the subordinate continued.

The Demonic Sect is a terrifying existence that can be compared with the holy land of the righteous path. Although it has been treated like a dog by the righteous path for many years, there are only a few forces in this world that can stably produce Venerables.

They can't defeat the holy land of righteousness, but it is still easy for them to defeat these crappy things in the southern border.

In those days, a group of demons from the Zhantian Sect came to the Southern Territory and directly killed all the major forces in the Southern Territory. The cultivators of the same level were no match for these demons, and the older generation of cultivators were too embarrassed to take action, so in the end they could only respectfully offer apology and escort the other party out of the country.

It really left an extremely deep psychological trauma on the monks in the southern border.

"Demon Sect?!" As expected, after hearing this word, the expression of the young master of the Fire Lotus Sect suddenly changed, "Which demon sect? Those crazy people?"

If it was the evil way of Zhantian Sect, he would not say anything. He would not want the treasure. His life was more important.

A grandmaster of the Zhantian Sect is enough to kill all the allies on his side. Unless the ancestor comes forward to suppress the other side, he will not be able to stop them at all.

"No, according to our people's speculation, the other party should be a cultivator from Hehuan Valley or Mingguang Sect. The probability is greater from Hehuan Valley." The subordinate immediately shook his head.

The Zhantian Sect would never do such a thing. They are just a bunch of lunatics who only know how to draw their swords and chop people.

The demon sect this time seemed to be easier to get along with, and they should be the two more 'normal' demon sects.

The Mingguang Sect has never had much of a presence, so his subordinates felt that it was more likely to be the Hehuan Valley.

"Hehuan Valley? Phew, that's not bad." After learning that his opponent was not the Zhantian Sect but the Hehuan Valley, the young sect master's heart finally settled down.

The fighting power of the monks in Hehuan Valley is not that strong, but it’s not that we can’t deal with them, but we can’t confront them.

"But the Grand Master of Hehuan Valley said that one of their venerables is also in the southern border now. This may have some impact on our plan."

There is another venerable in the southern border of Hehuan Valley? The young sect leader took a breath of cold air. He knew that the sect leader of Hehuan Valley had died a few years ago. Logically speaking, the venerable of Hehuan Valley should be hiding in the old nest in the northern border at this time, right?

But why would a venerable from Hehuan Valley appear in the southern border?

"Don't be afraid. The Hehuan Valley is being suppressed by the Yaochi Holy Land. This Venerable will definitely not dare to cause any big trouble in our southern border!" After thinking about it, the young sect leader felt that the problem was not very big. The Venerable was powerful, but not invincible.

Especially the Venerables from the Demon Sect, they certainly wouldn't dare to cause any big commotion in the Southern Territory. If they did, they would be hunted down by the Venerables from the Southern Territory and the Venerables from the Righteous Path together, and they might end up dying here.

Speaking of the right way, the young master's eyes rolled and he suddenly thought of a good idea.

We in the southern border cannot afford to offend the demons, but we can also seek external help.

If we tell Zhengdao about Hehuan Valley's intention to cause trouble in the southern border, Zhengdao will definitely send people to investigate the situation. At that time, will Hehuan Valley still be able to get involved in these matters?

Haha, just think about it and you’ll know it’s impossible!

286. Confident Miss

"People from Hehuan Valley appeared in the southern border? Is the news true?"

"I'm not sure, but based on the intelligence we have so far, the credibility of this news is not high. The Fire Lotus Sect that sent this news probably just wanted to use this excuse to better attack the Nan Family."

Somewhere in the southern border, Ye Qiuhan was discussing the news he had just received with a senior sister who was a master.

The Fire Lotus Sect in the southern border said that the Nan Clan had colluded with the Hehuan Valley and needed righteous monks to help them deal with the evil sect.

But after the two girls from Yao Chi thought about it, they realized that the Fire Lotus Sect might have no good intentions. Who in the Southern Territory doesn’t know that they want to steal the Nan family’s treasures?

If such news came out of their mouths at this time, only a fool would believe them.

"Our goal is to find Qian Lin. It is better for us not to get involved in the internal strife in the southern border." Ye Qiuhan, who has become mature, held his chin and said in a low voice.

If you believe the Fire Lotus Sect, you might end up being used as a gun by them.

Moreover, the Fire Lotus Sect has not even provided any solid evidence yet, so how can others believe what they say?

Anyway, Ye Qiuhan would definitely not believe it.

"I don't think so. We can stay out of this matter, but since the Fire Lotus Sect has given us this excuse, why don't we use it?" The Grandmaster Sister who was discussing with Ye Qiuhan shook her head and expressed a different opinion.

The Nan family is located in the heart of the southern border, and their current location is still some distance away from there. If they walk there by themselves, they will inevitably encounter trouble along the way.

But if we go there under the banner of eliminating demons and defending justice, there will definitely be a lot less trouble.

At worst, after we get there, we can investigate whether the Nan family has any connection with the evil sect. If so, we will destroy the evil sect. If not, we will criticize the Huo Lian Sect.

No matter what, Yao Chi will not suffer any loss.

Ye Qiuhan's team consists of three masters, and the staff is very small.

"I think what Senior Sister An said makes sense. We can use this excuse to quickly reach the heart of the southern border without spending too much time on the road." At this time, another senior sister in the team also spoke up.

Having the local snakes in the South as a shield is definitely better than killing your way through the South under the name of the Holy Land.

The identity of a disciple of a holy land is sometimes an advantage, but sometimes it is also a constraint.

"That's right, then let's listen to Senior Sister An and go to the Nan family first. If there is no problem with the Nan family, then we will leave and not interfere in the internal fighting among the people of the Southern Territory." Ye Qiuhan thought for a while, and finally nodded, agreeing with Senior Sister An's idea.

Qian Lin's location would not be the outskirts of the southern border. Qinglong said that the backlash of Xuanming needs the power of Suzaku to be suppressed. So the closer to Suzaku, the higher the probability of Qian Lin appearing.

Now that the Fire Lotus Sect has given an excuse that would allow them to reach the heart of the southern border at the fastest speed, why not take advantage of it?

This will not affect the good reputation of Yao Chi. The goal is to eliminate demons and defend the way of righteousness and not let go of any possible clues.

……

"Nan Ci, you shouldn't have come back."

Looking at the maid kneeling in front of him with tears in her eyes, Nan Xiao sighed softly, with a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.

She sent Nan Ci away because she wanted Nan Ci to escape from this vortex and avoid losing his life in vain.

"Miss, I'm not the kind of person who is afraid of death. For you, I am willing to give everything, even my life!"

"I know, but I don't want to see you lose your life like this." Nan Xiao certainly knew that Nan Ci was loyal to her. It was precisely because of this loyalty that she sent Nan Ci away.

Nan Ci has done enough for me. There is no need for him to stay with me on the sinking ship of the Nan family.

"You don't have to sacrifice your life for me. You are not a member of the Nan family." Reaching out to help Nan Ci up from the ground, Nan Xiao held her in his arms and said softly, "You have already repaid your father for his kindness in adopting you. I don't want to see you die here in vain because of me."

Nan Ci is not a member of the Nan family. She is an orphan adopted by the previous head of the Nan family and has no blood relationship with the Nan family.

After decades of loyal following, Nan Xiao felt that Nan Ci had repaid the Nan family for adopting her. In this situation where she was doomed to die, Nan Ci did not need to disappear with the Nan family.

She is the eldest daughter of the Nan family, she can't hide.

But Nan Ci is not like that. Nan Ci can leave.

"Miss... I know you are doing this for my own good, but how can I just watch you lose your life?" Nan Ci bit her lip and answered in a tearful voice.

After decades of living together day and night, the relationship between her and Nan Xiao can no longer be described as an ordinary master-servant relationship.

Compared to master and servant, they are more like a pair of sisters who depend on each other. During the darkest time after the death of the previous head of the family, it was Nan Ci who stayed by Nan Xiao's side and helped the eldest lady of the Nan family walk out of the shadows.

Later, Nan Xiao left the Nan family to find out the truth about her father's death, and Nan Ci always stayed with her. No matter how dangerous the situation was, the two faced it together.

But why should he be excluded by the eldest lady this time? Nan Ci really didn't understand.

"Someone came to see me recently and said that you asked them for help." Patting Nan Ci's back gently, Nan Xiao talked about Mr. Undercover, "I know you are doing this for my own good, but I can't agree to their request."
