Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

At most, I'll be unconscious for a few days.

"The treasure of the Nan family is indeed related to Suzaku... at least they think that the treasure is related to Suzaku. Nan Xiao has never seen the treasure, and neither has her father." Qian Lin told Venerable Huanyue all the information he had found out.

Speaking of which, the Nan family was also unlucky this time. The treasure was somewhat related to the Nan family's status, but the relationship was not that big.

Since the establishment of the Nan family, no member of the Nan family has seen that treasure again. The reason why the Nan family has had masters to support the family in every generation is actually because of the little bit of pure spiritual energy that seeps out from the secret realm where the treasure is sealed.

It is this spiritual energy that allows the Nan family to have a better training environment than other large families.

If you want to open the secret realm and see the treasure, you must first obtain the three keys to open the secret realm. This is the most difficult step because one of the keys has long disappeared.

Of the remaining two, one is kept by the most senior elder of the Nan family, and the other one was lost with the death of the previous head of the Nan family.

In other words, the Nan family only has one key. If they want to get the treasure, they have to find the remaining two keys.

"The key that disappeared a long time ago was buried by the ancestor of the Nan family alone in a hidden place. This key is difficult to find, but the one lost by the previous family should be easier to find. As long as we find the murderer who attacked and killed him that year, it will be fine."

Nan Xiao has been doing this for the past ten years, but unfortunately the results have not been good.

Every time she found a clue, she would find that the clue would quickly break down and she would never be able to find the murderer hiding in the shadows.

“Even if the sect alliance wins the competition, it is meaningless because the Nan family can’t open their own secret realm.”

The secret realm can only be opened by combining the three keys, but each member of the Nan family only has one.

To be honest, can this treasure really be considered the Nan family's treasure now? Doesn't the Nan family only have the key to opening the door?

"So the competition is meaningless? The Nan family just wants to delay time... do they have any backup plan?" Venerable Huanyue understood that the Nan family did not want to hand over the treasure, but at the same time, they could not hand over the treasure.

But wasn’t there a traitor in the Nan family? Didn’t that traitor tell the sect alliance about this?

"There is no backup plan. The Nan family is just stalling for time, hoping that some righteous and selfless good-hearted person will come to rescue them." Qian Lin shook his head. To be honest, this is a bit too naive.

Without sufficient compensation, who would risk going against the sect alliance to help your Nan family?

Apart from that treasure, what else can the Nan family come up with?

Not to mention Nan Xiao, the eldest daughter of the Nan family. At that level, who would care about beauty?

"Sister Yue Huai, do you think there would be such a nice guy?"

"How could there be any, unless it's those sword-crazy guys from the Qinglian Sword Sect. They really like to help the weak and punish the strong." Venerable Huanyue thought for a moment and found that there seemed to be some such good-for-nothings.

Aren't those crazy people in the Sword Sect just like that? Among those who see injustice and help others, there must be one of them. When they see the weak being bullied, they will definitely jump out to help.

Qian Lin was stunned, then took a breath and thought, that makes sense.

How could we forget about those sword maniacs?

If someone from the Sword Sect happened to pass by and encounter this incident, it seems predictable what choice they would make after understanding the cause and effect.

Wait, if that's the case, isn't it... self-defeating for the Fire Lotus Sect to spread the rumor that the Nan family is connected to the evil sect?

Question: When I heard which holy land of the magic world had the most disciples, I was excited!

Answer: Qinglian Sword Sect.

After the Sword Sect disciples arrived at the scene and completed their investigation, and discovered that the Nan family was truly innocent and had even rejected Hehuan Valley's recruitment, what would the Sword Sect disciples think of the Fire Lotus Sect that spread the rumors?

If at this time it were discovered that there were cultivators within the Fire Lotus Sect who had been infiltrated and corrupted by the Hehuan Valley... hey, things would start to get interesting.

"Let's not worry about the Nan family now. Help the Huolian Sect spread the rumor more widely, and then send people to find the other two keys!" Qian Lin immediately found a way to break the deadlock. There are currently two keys to the secret realm scattered outside, and the most urgent task is to find the location of the two keys.

As for the feud between the Fire Lotus Sect and the Nan Family, let's leave it to the kind-hearted righteous monks to resolve.

"It's similar to what I thought." Venerable Huanyue nodded with a dull expression. She actually didn't have any ideas, but since Qian Lin said so, she just nodded.

Anyway, it’s never wrong to follow Qian Lin.

"By the way, call Nan Ci over and ask her to take her eldest daughter away. I don't want to climb over the wall in the middle of the night to send her back." Qian Lin added after glancing at Nan Xiao who was lying on the ground as if dead.

The value of this young lady has been squeezed dry by the evil Demon King Qian Lin. From now on, she is useless!

288. Efficient

"Is the young lady really alright? She doesn't look like she's alright..."

Looking at Nan Xiao who was sitting on the chair with lifeless eyes, Nan Ci looked embarrassed.

It’s not that she didn’t believe Qian Lin, but Nan Xiao looked really scary now. Could he have become a fool?

"Don't worry, it's really okay." Qian Lin, who was holding a cup of medicine and sips it, nodded, indicating that this was normal.

After all, she had turned this young lady's consciousness inside out, which was a bit too much stimulation. Nan Xiao needed some time to recover from that strong stimulation.

If he were to be awakened forcibly now, it would cause even greater harm to Nan Xiao.

If things go wrong, he will just turn into a madman.

"Take her back and take good care of her, then light this incense in the room. She will be back to normal in a few days." Handing a piece of calming incense produced in Yao Chi to Nan Ci, Qian Lin told Nan Ci a few things to note.

At the end, he reminded Nan Ci that there might be disciples from the holy land coming over later, so Nan Ci should be prepared.

"Explain the difficulties you are facing to the disciples of the Holy Land. They will make the right judgment."

"Okay, I understand." Nan Ci seriously took Qian Lin's words to heart, then picked up his eldest daughter and left Qian Lin's room.

After seeing off the two Nan family members, Qian Lin temporarily entered a period of doing nothing. She had done most of the things she was supposed to do, and the remaining things were not something she could solve.

Her physical condition could not support her to carry out strenuous activities, and she could not help at all in finding the key to the secret realm that was lost somewhere.

As for dealing with the sect alliance, she could only plot a little secretly, throwing a basin of dirty water on the sect alliance and making them stand at the lowest moral point after the arrival of the disciples of the holy land.

……

"You're pretty quick. Good job." Seeing the list handed over by the undercover agent, Qian Lin's expression suddenly became relaxed.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Mr. Undercover has achieved such success and bewitched several middle-level monks from the Grandmaster Alliance.

Although they are all in the Body Tempering Realm, they are definitely enough to throw dirty water on the sect alliance.

After receiving Qian Lin's praise, Mr. Undercover immediately showed a satisfied expression. In addition to being satisfied, he did not forget to flatter Qian Lin, "Miss Qian taught me well. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought of these good ideas."

Hearing this, Qian Lin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have I ever taught you?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I am a disciple of the holy land who was kidnapped by Hehuan Valley. How could I teach you to do bad things?" Clearing his throat, Qian Lin righteously drew a line between himself and the undercover agent.

The undercover agent responded repeatedly, but he complained in his heart, "It was you who did the soul search a few days ago yourself. After the soul search, it took the eldest lady of the Nan family several days to come back to her senses."

I heard that the young lady's legs are still weak, and she even needs a maid to take care of her in her daily activities. She is just like a big baby.

However, this also indirectly proves the strength of Qian Lin's spiritual consciousness. After all, this young lady just has weak legs and there is nothing wrong with her brain.

If a normal person is turned into a fool after his soul is searched like this, he is lucky.

"I understand! This is what Her Majesty taught me. It has nothing to do with you, Miss Qian!"

"Well, that sounds much more pleasant. Tell me, how did these people fall into your hands?" Nodding with satisfaction, Qian Lin asked about the details.

"It's not that troublesome, it's just like this..."

The undercover's methods are nothing more than coercion and inducement. If he encounters someone weak, he will directly use his spiritual sense to control the opponent.

The Demon Sect's great reputation is well known to the cultivators in the southern region.

If they unite, they may not be afraid of the Demon Sect which does not have much power in the southern border, but when a master of the Demon Sect suddenly appears in front of them, everyone will tremble.

And when the undercover threw out some extremely tempting baits, these monks from the southern border naturally took the bait.

Allowing some Body Tempering Realm monks who have been lingering in the Body Tempering Realm for decades to see the hope of advancing to Grandmasters is the most commonly used method in Hehuan Valley, and it is also very effective in the Southern Territory.

Most of the people in the Body Tempering Realm here were bribed by the undercover agent using this method.

"Did you really give the secret cultivation method of Hehuan Valley to those people?" Qian Lin asked curiously.

Mr. Undercover chuckled, "Of course not. What we gave them were some elixirs and spices. These things made them look like ordinary Hehuan Valley monks. In fact, their essence has not changed."

Mr. Undercover's secret technique allows him to disguise himself as an ordinary monk, but what he gives to those with weak minds is just the opposite.

Once they really use these gifts and encounter righteous monks, they will definitely be caught.

And this is exactly the effect that Mr. Undercover wants. Aren't the monks from the holy land coming soon? When the time comes, if he takes a look at the sect alliance, hey, hey, there are many demons who have connections with the Hehuan Valley. Wouldn't the dirty water be thrown successfully?

"You, the demonic sect, are too insidious!" After hearing the undercover's plot, Qian Lin showed an 'I'm so scared' expression, and righteously stated that he would draw a clear line between himself and such behavior.

So immoral!

The undercover agent expressed his helplessness at Qian Lin's sudden acting. This young lady was saying something he couldn't understand again. In terms of insidiousness, I'm not even half a hair as cunning as you.

Wasn't this idea yours?

I am the knife in your hand. It is not me who is insidious, but you!

But as a subordinate, what can Mr. Undercover do? He can only reply, "Yes, yes, yes, I am such a sinister villain."

Alas, this is the sadness of being a wage earner.

Fortunately, this boss is very generous and working under her is promising, otherwise the undercover agent would have run away long ago.

"By the way, have you made any progress in other areas? Have you found out anything about the murder case from more than ten years ago?"

"Not yet. We don't have many people in the southern border, and the murder happened too long ago, so it's not easy to find clues." The undercover shook his head. The power of Hehuan Valley in the southern border is not strong, and it has been throwing dirty water on the sect alliance in recent days. It is not so easy to investigate a murder case from more than ten years ago.

Due to several factors, there has been no progress in the investigation of the murder case in recent days.

"I see... Next we will focus on investigating the murder case, and I have a feeling that we may be able to find a breakthrough from the Fire Lotus Sect."

289. Sword Cultivator is Coming

Reason? There is no reason, this is Qian Lin's intuition.

Anyway, I have no idea now, so I'll just follow my intuition. Qian Lin still trusts his intuition very much.

"Understood. I'll do it right away."

"Remember to tell the people in charge to be careful. Monks from the Holy Land may come anytime soon. If you encounter monks from the Holy Land, don't get entangled with them. Run as far as you can. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

……

After a few more days, the large arena built outside the main city of the Nan family was basically completed, and Qian Lin even went out of the city to take a look at the arena.

It’s very big and impressive. It seems that the people from the sect alliance put a lot of effort into the arena.

Even the strength of this arena is probably not so satisfactory. Qian Lin feels that this arena is unlikely to withstand the full-scale fight between two masters on the stage.

I guess the person who built this arena cut corners.

And something even more interesting happened. Those people from the sect alliance actually set up a stall near the arena and started selling tickets for the arena match that would be held in a dozen days. Qian Lin went to ask about it and found out that one ticket cost a full 100 spirit stones, which was really like robbing money.

The monk who was selling the tickets had an expression that said 'this amount of tickets is already very cheap', and he had a very good reason. This was a competition where all the participants had to be at least at the Body Tempering Realm, and there might even be Grandmasters performing on stage!

You can't usually see such a grand event like this. A ticket costing one hundred spirit stones is really that expensive!

The 100 spirit stones bought me the most common position with a poor view! If you want a better position, you have to pay more!

"I only have ten tickets for the best viewing seats, and each one costs two thousand spirit stones!" The monk who was selling tickets stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Qian Lin.

Qian Lin, who was wearing a veil to cover her face, took a deep breath. This was a robbery!

Poor Miss Qian Lin couldn't afford the expensive ticket, so she had no choice but to retreat.

The upcoming competition has attracted many people from the Southern Territory who are interested in it. Where there are many people, it is natural for all kinds of small markets to appear. For example, near the arena, there are already many monks setting up stalls to sell things.

There are elixirs, spiritual weapons, and even spiritual skills. You know what, it's quite lively here.

After leaving the big arena, Qian Lin went for a walk around the market again. She didn't find many useful things, but she did buy some medicinal herbs from a little girl. These fresh herbs were rare, and she quite liked them.

He casually asked where these herbs were picked, and after getting an answer from the little girl that she couldn't tell, Qian Lin didn't force her.

If you don't want to tell it, then don't tell it. At worst, I can send someone to check the girl's background. I don't believe that we can't find the place where she collects herbs.

How could Cricket, a little fellow at Pei Yuan realm, really jump out of Qian Lin's palm?

"Miss, Miss! Why are you here?"

Just after Qian Lin put the herbs into the storage bag, a cultivator from Hehuan Valley ran over in a panic.

The girl from Hehuan Valley's current dress has nothing of the Hehuan Valley's temperament. She is wrapped tightly in a simple robe, not revealing any skin, and the fragrance on her body is suppressed to the minimum by special means.
