Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

"Send a trustworthy person to talk to the demons outside and tell them that we want to see their sincerity, or at least to confirm that those disciples trapped in the hands of the demons are still worth rescuing." The old ancestor narrowed his eyes. If those disciples were worth rescuing, then he was willing to spend the money.

……

As if to demonstrate their urgency, the Huo Lian Sect quickly sent a disciple to the temporary base in He Huan Valley after receiving the news.

He was greeted by a Body Tempering Realm cultivator from Hehuan Valley. After hearing the Fire Lotus Sect's request, the cultivator from Hehuan Valley generously said that there was nothing wrong with it. It was just to take a look at the captives. He could take a look!

Hehuan Valley did not mistreat the captives, and they were provided with meals. However, all the monks had their spiritual energy sealed, and their faces did not look very good.

"Young Sect Master, Senior Brother Ao..." The Fire Lotus Sect's direct disciple saw at a glance several important prisoners imprisoned in solitary cells. After discovering that they were not missing any limbs, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he thought of the old master again. Why didn't he see him here? Could it be that he had already...

"The other grandmaster was seriously injured and is now being treated at the Nan family's place. Remember to pay off the medical expenses later." The cultivator from Hehuan Valley was also a shrewd man. He could tell at a glance what the disciple from the Fire Lotus Sect was thinking and spoke directly.

The old master was shamelessly outnumbered by Qian Lin three on one and almost lost half his life. Later, Qian Lin and Qian Handan joined forces to save him.

In Qian Lin's words, this guy is more valuable alive than dead.

Qian Handan, who had beaten up the people from the Fire Lotus Sect and gained a lot of benefits, was in a good mood and did not feel any psychological pressure about keeping the old master alive.

He had avenged himself very quickly for the targeting by the Huo Lian Sect, and now he could watch the Huo Lian Sect paying him compensation with reluctance. It was so satisfying.

"Please come this way, our lady wants to see you."

After showing the hostage in his hand to the disciples of Huolian Sect, the cultivator of Hehuan Valley brought the man to where Qian Lin was. Then it was Qian Lin's performance time.

The Fire Lotus Sect disciple who stepped into the room looked at Qian Lin, and was immediately surprised by Qian Lin's weak aura.

Her breath was so weak that if this Fire Lotus Sect disciple had not been able to see her movements, he would have thought that the person in front of him was a dead person.

But there was a faint aura emanating from the other party, and just feeling it was enough to make him feel a little nervous. This girl must be very powerful.

At least he is a powerful master!

"You have seen what you should have seen. We have shown our sincerity. Next, it is your turn to show sincerity." After drinking the medicine in his hand, Qian Lin looked at the disciples of the Fire Lotus Sect who were standing in front of him and dared not move, and spoke.

"I got some interesting news from the Nan family. Your Fire Lotus Sect stole a treasure from them more than ten years ago. I want that thing."

"What thing?" The disciple of Fire Lotus Sect was very confused. He did get some authority when he came here. As long as the conditions proposed by the Demonic Path were not excessive, he would agree to them immediately.

But what was the treasure that Qian Lin was talking about? He didn't know if it was among the items he could control.

Qian Lin stared at him for a while, until he was sweating profusely, and then he continued, "It seems that you don't know its existence, so just tell my words to someone who can make the decision. They know what I am talking about."

After saying that, she waved her sleeves mercilessly, and a gust of wind blew the still confused Fire Lotus Sect disciples out of the room.

Bang!

The door slammed shut the next moment, scaring the Fire Lotus Sect disciples so much that they almost jumped up.

No, we agreed to discuss the terms. Why did you send me out after just two sentences?

This black-haired young lady from the Demonic Path was indeed weird. From the time they met to the time she drove the man away, she only said two or three sentences in total, without even changing her expression or tone.

"My fellow Daoist, please convey the young lady's words to your sect leader. This is the sincerity we want." The monk from Hehuan Valley who had just brought him here appeared again and patted him on the shoulder.

The Fire Lotus Sect disciple quickly came back to his senses. Although he still didn't understand the specific situation, the other party seemed to look down on him and felt that he was not qualified to negotiate terms?

Well, although I feel a little underestimated, it also feels normal...

……

"The treasure of the Nan family? Is this evil sect really coming for this treasure?" After hearing the report from the returning disciple, the sect leader's hand trembled and he pulled out a few strands of his beard from his chin.

Oh no, the most worried situation has happened!

That evil sect is really after the big secret of the Nan family!

Could it be that the Nan family suddenly came to their senses and decided to succumb to the evil?

Hey, what's the difference between that and submitting to our Fire Lotus Sect? It's impossible for this demon sect to be more kind-hearted than our Fire Lotus Sect, right?

The leader of the sect felt that compared to the evil sect, their Fire Lotus Sect was still kind-hearted. The Nan family was not abandoning darkness for light, they were clearly abandoning light for darkness.

"What's the point of saying all this now? It seems that the demons have set their eyes on the Nan family's treasure. We should just hand it over." The old ancestor was calm and felt that it was not impossible to hand over the Nan family's treasure.

"But that treasure..."

"Humph, you talk a lot, but what use is it in our hands? It has been in the deepest part of the treasury for more than ten years, and can it bring out half the use of other treasures?" The old ancestor snorted coldly.

At the beginning, the head of the Nan family boasted that the treasure was extremely powerful, saying that it could evaporate a river with one strike, and that if used with full strength, it would be comparable to that of a Venerable. But when the Fire Lotus Sect got their hands on it, they found that it was a defective item.

This thing is of no use without the other parts.

It was only after the head of the Nan family tipped off that they learned that part of the treasure was still kept in the Nan family's forbidden area, and no one knew where the last part was.

Originally, the Fire Lotus Sect was planning to snatch the remaining part of the Nan Family, and then continue to look for the last part. But now, the Demonic Path has also set its eyes on the Nan Family's treasures and has knocked on the door, threatening to destroy the Fire Lotus Sect.

Now, if we want to save the Fire Lotus Sect, it seems that we have no choice but to compromise.

"But the Nan family's inheritance can't be fake. This treasure may really help our Fire Lotus Sect to reach a higher level..."

"Short-sighted! If you don't hand over the things, the Fire Lotus Sect will be gone! Do you think those demons out there are good people?" The ancestor slammed the table and scolded, "They are demons!"

These demons are not taking action now because they are afraid that they will be hunted down by the Holy Land after taking action, not because they are afraid of the Fire Lotus Sect.

If the demons are really pushed into a corner, they will really massacre the entire sect!

Even if these evil sects were truly wiped out by the holy land in the future, the Fire Lotus Sect would not live to see that day.

The sect leader's face turned pale. Yes, the ones surrounding them were the vicious and evil demons, not some other forces. It was impossible to reason with the demons.

Now there are only two choices before him, one is to pay the money to buy his life and send these evil gifts out of the country, the other is to fight to the death with the evil, and then be slaughtered and exterminated, and the treasure will still be lost.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that spending money to avoid disaster is not something unacceptable.

"But what should we do if those demons still refuse to leave after we hand over the treasures?" The sect leader had doubts about the credibility of the demons.

"Fighting to the death with us is not the best way for the Demonic Path to maximize their interests. They are willing to negotiate with us now, which shows that they are still rational."

The demons are just bad, they are not stupid. They can easily gain a lot of benefits, so why do they want to have a life-and-death battle with the Fire Lotus Sect?

The ancestor did not believe in the credibility of the Demonic Path, but believed in the intelligence of the Demonic Path Master.

After fighting with the other party several times, I can clearly feel that he is a rational being, not a madman who cannot communicate.

Therefore, the ancestor thought that he could talk to the demons and sacrifice some money to protect the sect, which was not an unacceptable thing.

"...Okay then, I'll listen to you, Old Ancestor. I'll go get the treasure right now and have someone send it outside!" After hearing the Old Ancestor's words, the sect leader gritted his teeth and made a decision immediately.

Compared with the Fire Lotus Sect, this treasure snatched back from the Nan Family is still a little lighter.

He was not a fool. As long as he could preserve the Fire Lotus Sect, the things he had lost now would return to his hands sooner or later. But if he died, he would really have nothing.

324. Spiritual Fire, Key

When the devil really put the sword on his neck, the Fire Lotus Sect acted very quickly. They had just learned of Qian Lin's conditions in the morning, and had taken the treasures out of the treasury at night and delivered them to the Hehuan Valley base.

The speed was so fast that even Qian Lin was a little surprised. She thought the other party would try to bargain.

"Maybe it's because of the reputation of the Demonic Path." Nan Xiao sat in his seat somewhat restrained, muttering softly.

The current situation is that the Demonic Path has surrounded the Fire Lotus Sect and it seems that they are planning to slaughter the sect directly. At this time, the Fire Lotus Sect should be desperate, but suddenly, the Demonic Path suddenly gave a fairly acceptable condition for withdrawal, and of course the Fire Lotus Sect will seize this condition.

If it was other southern border sects that were surrounding this place, then the Fire Lotus Sect might have to consider whether the other party would keep their promise.

But since the people surrounding this place are a group of rational demons, the Fire Lotus Sect is not too worried that the other party will go back on their word, because resolving this matter peacefully is in the interests of both sides.

What's the righteous path, what's the evil path, it's all nonsense in the face of interests!

Some of the things done by these large sects in the southern border are not any better than those of the demonic sects, and they do not have the lofty ideas of the Holy Land of Zhongzhou that take the people of the world as their own responsibility.

"You make me sound like a notorious villain." Hearing Nan Xiao's muttering, Qian Lin glared at the Nan family's eldest daughter who came with the army, "I'll leave it to you to determine whether the key is authentic. You must look carefully."

The main purpose of this trip is to get the key fragments from the Fire Lotus Sect. As for other spirit stones, spiritual weapons and other resources, Qian Lin doesn't care that much.

If she gets the key, she will be successful. Let Venerable Huanyue and the others handle the rest.

"Don't worry, my eyes are very sharp!" Nan Xiao nodded immediately. Although she had never actually seen what the key looked like, after becoming the de facto head of the Nan family, she still got the image of the key from the elders in the forbidden area.

Although the painting is a bit abstract, it is still clear.

As soon as the conversation between the two ended, the disciple of Fire Lotus Sect who had just arrived in the morning walked into the room respectfully holding a black box.

He wanted to hand the box directly to Qian Lin, but the two monks from the Hehuan Valley standing beside him reached out to stop him, took the box in their hands, and after carefully checking it to make sure there was no danger, they handed the box to Nan Xiao.

The Fire Lotus Sect disciple's expression froze. He could clearly feel that the people in the room did not trust him, but when you are under someone's roof you have to bow your head. If he were sitting opposite them, he would do the same.

Nan Xiao took the box from the monk of Hehuan Valley, and her eyes suddenly turned red. She gently brushed her fingers across the surface of the box, and the dark patterns unique to the Nan family took shape in her mind bit by bit.

This box belongs to the Nan family.

Sure enough, my father’s death more than ten years ago was caused by those bastards from the Fire Lotus Sect!

"If you want revenge, then practice hard and destroy the Fire Lotus Sect with your own strength in the future."

Qian Lin's voice reached Nan Xiao's ears, suddenly waking Nan Xiao who was immersed in anger.

Yes, what's the point of hatred? Can it make these murderers pay with their lives?

If it weren't for Miss Qian's help, the Nan family would have been completely swallowed up by the Fire Lotus Sect and wiped out of history.

Now the Nan family has survived, but the hatred with the Fire Lotus Sect still exists. Miss Qian has her own goals. Nan Xiao understands that the entire Nan family is just an important chess piece in Qian Lin's eyes.

When Qian Lin collected all three keys, the Nan family lost its value.

Perhaps Qian Lin will not attack the Nan family which has lost its value, but it is unlikely that she will continue to protect the Nan family. Only the Nan family themselves can protect the Nan family.

You have to avenge yourself!

"Huh." Suppressing the surging thoughts in his mind, Nan Xiao lightly pressed on the secret compartments on both sides of the box. With a crisp 'click' sound, the lid of the box broke into four pieces and slowly opened.

"This is... the key."

"This thing is actually called a key?" Qian Lin stared in amazement at the illusory spiritual fire that slowly floated out of the box, and was speechless for a moment.

She had thought that a key should at least look like a key, but now that she saw the key's true appearance, she realized that her previous guess was completely wrong.

This 'key' doesn't look like a key at all.

“The sect leader said that this ball of spiritual fire cannot be touched or used, and it is just a decoration in the Fire Lotus Sect. Since you want it, I will give it to you as a sign of my sincerity.” The Fire Lotus Sect disciple relayed the words of the sect leader in a trembling voice.

"Miss, this is indeed the key you are looking for." Nan Xiao held the spiritual fire in both hands and presented it to Qian Lin.

This ball of spiritual fire was pure white. After Qian Lin took it in his hand, he could not feel any energy fluctuations coming from it. It was as if this ball of fire was just an illusion, an illusion that could disappear at any time.

But it is such an illusion that has been treasured by the Nan family for countless years. Since the founding of the Nan family, it has been burning quietly, and it seems that it will never go out.

"What a magical treasure! I'm beginning to believe that this is really a key." Qian Lin looked at the fire with a doubtful expression.

It’s amazing, but with things like this, magic seems to be the norm?

Through this ball of spiritual fire, Qian Lin seemed to be able to see a ray of bright red... Hmm?

red?

No, wasn’t this fire pure white just now?

A bad premonition surged in Qian Lin's heart, and she subconsciously wanted to throw away the ball of spiritual fire, but before she could do anything, a relatively warm current surged out of the spiritual fire and pierced her palm.

At the same time, a somewhat dissatisfied voice sounded in Qian Lin's ears, "Tsk."

"ah!"

Qian Lin felt pain and quickly retracted his hand. This sudden scene immediately caused the two Hehuan Valley monks in the room to heavily push the confused Fire Lotus Sect disciple to the ground.

"Miss, how are you?!" Nan Xiao was also shocked. He didn't care about the spiritual fire that fell on the table. He immediately moved to Qian Lin's side to ask about the situation.

In the hands of other people, it was like a ball of phantom spiritual fire that suddenly attacked Qian Lin, which was completely beyond Nan Xiao's cognition.

This ball of fire actually has this function? She looked at the red spot in Qian Lin's hand, and many doubts emerged in her heart.

"It... seems to be helping me?" Contrary to Nan Xiao's expectations, Qian Lin was not angry about being ambushed. Instead, he muttered to himself in a low voice.

The warm current from the spiritual fire had already entered Qian Lin's body, quietly lingering under the red spot in his hand. Qian Lin tried to gently touch the warm current with his spiritual sense, but only got a not-so-kind response.

It's like saying 'Don't bother me if you have nothing to do'.

But with the emergence of this warm current, Qian Lin found that the Xuanming backlash in his body seemed to be suppressed, and he became well-behaved and cute.

This is really... intriguing.
