Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

And this is exactly what Nan Ci cannot understand. Would the young lady really go to such lengths for a treasure?

"My father once told me that the mission of our Nan family is to protect that treasure. Even if the entire family is destroyed, we cannot let the treasure fall into the hands of others."

“Once this treasure falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions, the entire Southern Territory, and even the entire world, will suffer an extremely horrific disaster. Even if our Nan family is completely destroyed, we must protect this treasure.”

A trace of nostalgia flashed across Nan Xiao's face. These were the words his father said to him before he went out for the last time. Perhaps at that time, his father had already anticipated something.

It was on that night that his father told him all the secrets of the treasure.

"What about the ring match? It's such an unfair match. Do you really think you can win, Miss?"

"Winning is great, but losing... it's just the destruction of our family. I will never let that treasure fall into the hands of those villains!" His tone was full of determination to face death. Nan Xiao patted Nan Ci's shoulder and said softly, "So you don't have to worry about me. This may be my fate."

Yes, no matter winning or losing, the Nan family will not hand over this treasure. This is the result reached after collective discussion by the Nan family members who know the secret of the treasure.

If you lose, you have to hand over the treasure and marry Nan Xiao off. It’s not that easy!

The entire Nan family is ready to perish together with their loved ones. There are only dead people in the Nan family, no villains who would live in disgrace!

……

"Hiss... The brains of this Nan family really aren't that useful." After listening to the undercover's report, Qian Lin took a breath.

Nan Ci's persuasion did not have much effect, but it made Hehuan Valley fully aware of the thoughts of this group of Nan family members. Nan Ci himself did not quite understand this idea.

But she trusted the decision made by her eldest daughter.

"Is she really so sure that all the Nan family members are tough? Didn't a traitor just leak the secret of the treasure?" If it were any other situation, Qian Lin felt that there was nothing wrong with Nan Xiao trusting the Nan family, but in this situation, Nan Xiao still trusted those family members. There was definitely something wrong with his brain.

Besides, do you really think that a small family like yours with only one Grandmaster can keep such a secret?

If we could get a few experts with some knowledge of spiritual consciousness, it would be very easy to pry something out of the brains of your people.

For example, Qian Lin, she has the confidence that she can completely dig out everything in the mind of a Body Tempering Realm cultivator without missing anything.

"That young lady is not very worldly-wise and her understanding of some things is still not comprehensive." The undercover stood respectfully behind Qian Lin, echoing Qian Lin's words like a lackey.

He has been a little annoyed by the Nan family's pedantic state these days.

Now that Zun Zun and Qian Lin have arrived, he finally has a backbone and his mood has improved a lot.

"You didn't think of using some tricks. I remember that Hehuan Valley is an expert at confusing people, right?"

"Ah?" Mr. Undercover was stunned when he heard this. Aren't we negotiating cooperation with the Nan family? Why did they suddenly talk about the tricks?

And what are the tricks you are talking about? I don’t understand.

"Please ask the eldest lady of the Nan family to come over to my place for a chat. If she refuses to come, put a sack on her, knock her out and bring her to my place. Leave the rest to me." Sighing, Qian Lin felt that the current magic was really useless. There was no subjective initiative at all, and he, a patient, had to take the stage.

You are simply insulting the title of Demonic Path!

The undercover agent scratched his head. He really didn't understand what Qian Lin wanted to do, but he just followed the boss's orders.

It is not a difficult task to kidnap the eldest daughter of the Nan family and take her out of the Nan family. For him, a master who has already figured out the internal situation of the Nan family, it is a piece of cake.

Not to mention that the personal bodyguard of the eldest lady of the Nan family is Nan Ci, a double agent.

So in the middle of the night after Qian Lin gave the order, the undercover agent returned to Qian Lin's temporary residence carrying a large sack.

The efficiency was very high and Qian Lin liked it very much. However, looking at Miss Nan Xiao, who still had some confusion in her eyes, the expression on her face slowly became evil.

Nan Xiao also adapted to the suddenly brighter environment. Her eyes swept from the undercover agent who had an expression of "I'm just a tool" to the white-haired girl in the center of the room.

Even without anyone introducing her, she could tell that this sickly white-haired girl was the mastermind behind kidnapping her here.

Thinking back to what Nan Ci had said to him not long ago, the identity of the person in front of him was already clear.

"Miss Qian...thank you for saving Nan Ci." Sitting up straight, Nan Xiao calmed down and spoke.

No matter what the other party is thinking now, Nan Ci was saved by this young lady after all, and he has to thank her for this favor.

"It's just a small favor, and I recognized the wrong person, so there's no need to thank me." Qian Lin shook his head and waved at Nan Xiao, motioning him to come closer.

Don't stay so far away from her, making her act like a monster.

Nan Xiao was a little hesitant, but the faint pressure from behind made her realize that she had no ability to resist at this time.

Moving in front of Qian Lin, Nan Xiao vaguely smelled a very light fragrance, which relaxed her nervous mind a lot.

"Miss Qian called me here late at night, I guess it's for that treasure? This senior should have already told you my attitude." Nan Xiao took a deep breath and did not continue to be polite with Qian Lin. He directly told Qian Lin that he would not be a traitor.

"So I want to try again to see if I can convince you to change your mind. After all, I am a kind person and don't want to see tragedy happen in front of me." Qian Lin took out the fiery red feather from the storage bag and said, "Do you have any more feathers like this in your Nan family?"

Feather? Nan Xiao looked at the red feather lying quietly in Qian Lin's hand, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Why did this feather lie so peacefully in the hands of Miss Qian? When my father handed me the storage bag, he emphasized that once the feather left the storage bag, it would explode violently, destroying everything nearby.

But now, Qian Lin is holding this feather in his hand like a good baby... What is going on?

"When I took the feather off, it seemed a little reluctant, but I still managed to control it with some effort." Qian Lin took the feather back and continued, "And I sensed a very faint aura from this feather, the aura of a divine beast."

Nan Xiao's pupils shrank. Qian Lin's tone was so flat. She was just stating a fact instead of asking herself whether this feather was related to Suzaku.

Qian Lin already had the answer in his heart.

"Do you really think your Nan family can protect this treasure? To put it bluntly, I have many ways to pry the secret out of your Nan family, such as you now." Pointing at Nan Xiao with a finger, Qian Lin's mouth curled up slightly, "Do you believe it?"

Nan Xiao shook her head subconsciously. How could she possibly leak such a secret!

Even if she dies, she will never reveal the secret of the treasure!

A chill gradually crept up his spine, and the fragrance that was so faint that it was difficult to distinguish just now suddenly became strong. After shaking his head, Nan Ci felt dizzy, and everything in front of him seemed unreal.

Oh no, there's something wrong with that scent! She finally understood why Qian Lin asked her to get closer. It turned out that it was to make the scent work better.

I was so careless. Miss Qian should not be underestimated... But this method alone is still not enough to get the secret out of my mind!

I have protected those secrets with a divine seal. Even a master cannot break the seal!

287. Abandoned

"Spiritual seal? It seems that you attach great importance to this secret."

When Nan Xiao was able to see clearly again, the first thing she saw was Qian Lin, who was holding a ball of light in his hand and looking troubled.

Unlike the sickly version she had just seen, the Qian Lin standing in front of her now had nothing to do with the word weak.

She was cold and noble, like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world. The faint sense of oppression coming from her body made Nan Xiao realize that this girl was by no means just a pretty face.

"Where is this..." Looking around, Nan Xiao showed a puzzled expression. She clearly remembered that she was in a small room just now, but now she seemed to have returned to the Nan family of the past.

She remembered this place very clearly. It was where she and Nan Ci played and had fun when they were little. But this place disappeared many years ago.

"From the depths of your consciousness, I am now reading your memory." Qian Lin threw the ball of light in his hand into the sky, and suddenly, a large number of images filled the space.

There are scenes of Nan Xiao playing with Nan Ci when she was a child, scenes of Nan Xiao pretending to be mature when she has grown up, and scenes of Nan Xiao traveling around in the past few years...

Even Nan Xiao might not remember these memories clearly, but now Qian Lin has completely dug them out.

"Those things are not that important. You put the most important memories here." As the useless memories left the light ball, the light ball thrown into the sky by Qian Lin turned into a small and exquisite treasure chest and returned to Qian Lin's hands.

Holding the treasure chest, Qian Lin smiled at Nan Xiao, "Do you think the spiritual seal you set up can block my spiritual consciousness?"

Nan Xiao's throat was a little dry. She really wanted to tell herself that the spiritual seal she had set up could not be broken by a master, but looking at Qian Lin's eyes full of mockery, the confidence in her heart suddenly disappeared.

The spiritual seal I set up shouldn't be broken, right?

"Look up at the sky and you will see how naive your current thinking is."

Heaven?

Nan Xiao looked up at the sky. The originally clear sky was now covered by dark clouds. Heavy snow fell from the sky, turning the entire world white in a moment.

A giant beast as huge as a mountain was looming in the clouds. Just after taking a look at it, Nan Xiao felt his eyes blurred and his head ached so much that it felt like it was about to explode.

What a terrifying spiritual consciousness! This is simply not the spiritual consciousness strength that a master can possess!

The spiritual power of the Miss Qian in front of him has completely surpassed that of a Grandmaster, and even a Venerable!

Naive... Yes, how could the spiritual consciousness seal cast by a cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm like me be able to block the spiritual consciousness of the Venerable?

"Do whatever you want. Nothing I do will help anyway." Nan Xiao said in a low voice with lifeless eyes, sitting on the ground helplessly.

She knew that she could no longer keep the secret in her heart, but it was absolutely impossible for her to tell the secret on her own initiative!

"Why are you so stubborn, girl? I'm warning you, if I forcibly break the spiritual seal in your mind, you won't feel any better." Qian Lin curled her lips and finally advised Nan Xiao.

"I won't give in!"

"You will be fined if you don't eat the toast, so don't blame me."

One after another, aqua blue silk threads flowed towards the small treasure chest in his hand. Qian Lin looked at the eldest daughter of the Nan family, whose expression had become completely dull not far away, and complained quietly in his heart, "This girl looks quite mature, why is her personality so stubborn?"

……

Outside the spiritual space, Nan Xiao, who had completely lost consciousness, was now lying on the cushion that Qian Lin had prepared long ago. Qian Lin was kneeling beside him with his hands hovering above Nan Xiao's forehead.

Tiny silk threads emerged from the palm of his hand and pierced into Nan Xiao's forehead. This strange and terrifying scene made even the battle-hardened undercover agent feel a chill in his heart.

Mr. Undercover felt that he probably knew what Qian Lin was doing. This scene was definitely a soul search!

When other cultivators searched souls, the subjects would feel extremely painful. However, when Qian Lin searched souls, the subjects did not react at all, as if they were asleep.

This shows that Qian Lin’s spiritual power and soul-searching skills have reached a high level!

Only after countless attempts can one acquire such terrifying skills, and this is simply impossible for a girl who is only twenty years old!

It is confirmed that the person inside Qian Lin's body is definitely an old monster! Mr. Undercover's eyes became sharper.

"Hey, what are you doing standing here?"

"Your Majesty? Miss Qian is searching the soul of the eldest daughter of the Nan family." Hearing the voice coming from behind, the undercover agent quickly turned around and respectfully reported to the Venerable Huanyue who appeared behind him at some point.

"This little girl is really decisive. I like her." Looking into the room curiously, a look of satisfaction flashed in Venerable Huanyue's eyes. It would be great if all of her subordinates could be like Qian Lin.

He searched the soul without hesitation. Compared with Qian Lin, the magic path only had an advantage in killing innocent people. In other places, he was completely killed by Qian Lin!

"Then don't bother her. Come with me."

Taking the undercover agent out of the room and into the small courtyard, Venerable Huanyue gave the undercover agent new orders.

"Take some people to negotiate with the Fire Lotus Sect. They are now spreading the news that the Nan family is involved with the Demonic Path. If people from the righteous path get involved, it will be troublesome."

To be honest, what the Fire Lotus Sect did did hit Venerable Huanyue's sore spot. Venerable Huanyue is not afraid of these local bullies in the southern border, but if the holy land of the righteous path also gets involved, things will be troublesome.

First of all, Qian Lin can no longer cause trouble like he is doing now. People in the Southern Territory may not know this girl with white hair and blue eyes, but it is impossible for the righteous cultivators not to know her.

Secondly, Venerable Huanyue could not leave directly. If she was accidentally targeted and caught and beaten by the Venerables from the Southern Territory and the Righteous Path, she would have to die here if she was unlucky.

So at this time we need to drag the Fire Lotus Sect into this as well. Didn’t you say that the Nan Family has something to do with the evil ways?

Okay, now you are also involved with the evil way.

“But will they accept our terms?”

"Your goal is to throw dirty water on them. It's okay even if you only bribe and control a few lower-level monks. In short, you can't let them get away with it cleanly. Do you understand?" Venerable Huanyue looked at Mr. Undercover helplessly. This subordinate is loyal and hardworking, but he sometimes can't think straight. What a pity.

Our goal is to keep the treasure for ourselves, so of course it is impossible to reach a real cooperation with the Fire Lotus Sect!

"I see!" The undercover agent suddenly realized that this was actually possible. He was just too slow.

The Venerable is worthy of being the Venerable. It is truly admirable that he can think of such a solution in such a short time.

The undercover agent took the order and left, while Venerable Huanyue returned to the outside of the room and stood guard at the door, quietly waiting for Qian Lin to complete this exceptionally gentle soul search.

When others searched souls, it was accompanied by ghostly howlings, but when Qian Lin searched souls, it was extremely quiet, so quiet that it was eerie.

The incense floating in the room does have a calming effect, but the effect of this spice is obviously not good enough to prevent a person from having any reaction when their soul is searched.

There is only one explanation for everything that is happening now, and that is that Qian Lin’s soul-searching skills are simply too advanced, to an outrageous level.

He is indeed a genius who can even establish connections with immortals. This talent is truly enviable. Shaking his head, Venerable Huanyue felt a little emotional.

Just as she was daydreaming, those blue threads retreated from Nan Xiao's head back into Qian Lin's hands one by one. This time the soul search was a complete success.

"Sister Yue Huai, how long have you been waiting here?"

"Soon, how is it going, what are the gains?" Venerable Huanyue shook his head, walked to Qian Lin and asked with concern, "How do you feel? Leave this kind of small matter to me, why do you have to do it yourself?"

I’m afraid you, my sister, wouldn’t be able to do this, Qian Lin muttered to herself.

Indeed, if Venerable Huanyue were to search Nan Xiao's soul, he would definitely be able to dig out the secret hidden by Nan Xiao, but I'm afraid this girl Nan Xiao would also be scrapped.

When he was breaking the seal on his spiritual consciousness, he used the most gentle and delicate means, which would definitely not affect Nan Xiao.
