Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

“Junior Sister Ling, I think I need an explanation. You seem to know something we don’t know.” The late-stage Grandmaster of the Zhantian Sect heard something wrong and immediately took over after Qian Lin finished speaking.

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Nan Xiao, who had been protected by Qian Lin and seemed a little distracted.

Qian Lin just said that all those in the Body Tempering Realm except Nan Xiao would stay behind, which meant that Nan Xiao would go with them. After eliminating some extremely unlikely answers, there was only one possibility left.

This Nan Xiao has a different secret.

Qian Lin's expression changed slightly. She seemed to be struggling over whether to make a secret public. Nan Xiao grabbed Qian Lin's hand at the right time, revealing an uneasy expression.

Those big watery eyes stared at Qian Lin, as if making a silent plea.

Okay, now everyone knows that Nan Xiao does have a secret, and Qian Lin, or the people in Hehuan Valley, also know this secret.

It is precisely because of Nan Xiao's presence that these people from Hehuan Valley have the courage to explore the depths of the secret realm with the people from Zhantian Sect. If the Zhantian Sect and the Xuanyin Sect are like headless flies running around, then the Hehuan Valley is obviously a fly with a head and a goal.

"Huh... Since you guys want to know so much, I'll tell you the truth." Qian Lin was very into the role and gave Nan Xiao a reassuring look. Then he turned around and said to the masters of Zhan Tian Sect, "Yes, we entered this secret realm not to support you, but for the treasures in the secret realm."

After hearing these words, the expressions of the demons did not change at all. They did not think that this was something worth elaborating on.

Of course, the demons must put their own interests first. How could Hehuan Valley not have its own plans when sending people into the secret realm? It’s just that no one knew what Hehuan Valley wanted to do specifically before.

Now that Qian Lin has spoken out, there won't be any problem.

“If my guess is correct, this Miss Nan Xiao is the key to your action this time, right?” The late-stage Grandmaster of Zhantian Sect felt that he understood everything. All the clues were connected together, giving a simple and clear truth.

Hehuan Valley captured Nan Xiao from somewhere, and learned from Nan Xiao that there was a treasure in this secret realm. So the Venerable of Hehuan Valley sent a team to take Nan Xiao into the secret realm under the banner of support. In fact, support was only secondary. The goal of Hehuan Valley was to quietly take the treasure in the secret realm for themselves.

That's right! No wonder Hehuan Valley acted out of character this time. It turned out to be because of this reason!

This is in line with the temperament of Hehuan Valley. If Hehuan Valley really came to support selflessly and fearlessly, these people from Zhantian Sect would feel something was wrong. Now that they found out that Hehuan Valley had ulterior motives, they felt much better all of a sudden.

This is the Hehuan Valley we know!

"Yes, she can sense the treasure to a certain extent, and not long ago, she found that the treasure had undergone some changes, some bad changes." Qian Lin nodded dejectedly, looking like she had given up on herself after her little secret was exposed. "I think we don't have much time. If we want to get the treasure, we can't stay here for too long."

"Then why are you still sitting here? Let's get going!" The late-stage Grandmaster of Zhan Tian Sect jumped up from the ground. "The treasures that you He Huan Valley are interested in are also of interest to us in Zhan Tian Sect."

"Sigh..." Qian Lin sighed, with a regretful expression on his face, as if to say, "If I could hide it no longer, I would never tell you this secret."

Everyone could see that Qian Lin was very dissatisfied with the current result. After all, Hehuan Valley could have kept the treasure for itself, but now it had to share the information with Zhantian Sect, and might even end up with nothing in the end.

There were only two Grandmasters from the Hehuan Valley present, while there were four Grandmasters from the Zhantian Sect, one of whom was even in the late Grandmaster stage!

If the two sides fought to seize the treasure after discovering it, Hehuan Valley would have almost no chance of success.

It was because of this realization that Qian Lin looked dejected and lost his motivation.

Compared with the reckless men of the Zhantian Sect who were eager to set out immediately, the charlatans of the Xuanyin Sect seemed much calmer. They still insisted on their divination results and said that they would stay here and wait for good luck to come. If you want to go and die, then go ahead.

Just like that, the masters of Hehuan Valley and Zhantian Sect who were still capable of fighting formed a team and set off overnight, rushing towards the direction that Nan Xiao sensed, while the rest of the people stayed where they were, some recuperating from their injuries, some slacking off.

Anyway, there is not much threat in this place, and the several masters of Xuanyin Sect are enough to deal with various emergencies.

Their attitude towards those monks from Xuanyin Sect and Hehuan Valley who were left behind was also quite good. They were all in the same boat, so there was no need to ruin the relationship over a trivial matter.

……

"The movements of the spirit beasts are not right. Are they running away? No, it doesn't look like they are running away. It seems more like they have been summoned by something..."

In another part of the secret realm, a large group of Southern Territory cultivators were besieging and killing a spirit beast in the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm. But for some unknown reason, a flaw suddenly appeared in the originally well-planned plan, allowing the spirit beast in the early stage of the Grandmaster Realm to escape.

How could the people of the Southern Territory just watch their prey escape like that, so they immediately followed it, wanting to kill the escaping spirit beast.

As a result, they saw a very strange scene during the chase. It seemed that all the spiritual beasts living in the nearby area were affected by something at the same time. They left their own territories and flew away in a certain direction.

Regardless of race or strength, these spirit beasts abandoned their original xenophobic character, gave up confronting each other, and rushed towards a common goal.

The people in the southern border don’t know why these spirit beasts behave like this, but they know that there must be something wrong when things are abnormal.

"Let's go and have a look. These spirit beasts can't be acting on their own. There must be something attracting them there. Maybe it's a unique spirit creature!"

Excitement spread in the hearts of these people from the Southern Territory. After fighting in the secret realm for so many days, they finally found clues to good stuff!

If it can attract so many spirit beasts, how could the food there be bad? It can't be bad!

Although they knew that with their strength, it might not be easy to obtain the treasure once they got there, but if they didn't try, wouldn't there be no possibility of success?

So, they did it for this vote!

In addition to these people from the southern border, the righteous cultivators also noticed the unusual behavior of the spirit beasts. In order to find out the truth behind this matter, they also chose to follow the spirit beasts to explore the secrets behind it all.

The three forces, the evil path, the righteous path, and the intruders from the southern border, will gather at the same place under the leadership of the spirit beasts. What awaits them there, treasure or death, is still unknown.

……

Outside the secret realm.

Half a month had passed since the last wave of support was dispatched. Venerable Huiyang looked at the unchanging golden secret realm entrance and sighed helplessly.

It seems that this secret realm is not that simple.

He was struggling over whether or not to continue sending people into the secret realm to explore. The divination result told him that doing so would lead to an extremely bright future, but he could not quite believe the result.

There has been no news from the team that was sent out before. Nearly ten grandmasters and two late-stage grandmasters are not a loss that the Demonic Path can easily bear. If all these people were killed in the secret realm, he would be heartbroken.

"Hui Yang, something's wrong!" Venerable Zhan Nian suddenly appeared beside Venerable Hui Yang and said to him with a serious expression, "A large number of space cracks suddenly appeared in this area. It won't be long before this place will be completely shattered by the broken space. We can't stay here any longer."

"What?!" Venerable Huiyang was stunned.

Wasn't this place normal before? Why did this happen suddenly?

"I'm afraid something has happened in the secret realm. This is good news. At least we know that something is still moving inside the secret realm." Venerable Zhan Nian expressed his thoughts. It is better to have changes in the secret realm than no changes. A stagnant pool of water is more frightening to him than turbulent waves.

Moreover, such a change should mean that this matter is about to end, right? Venerable Zhan Nian thought in his heart that no matter what the outcome of this secret realm is, he will prepare to leave the Southern Territory.

Now the attention of the righteous has been completely focused here. Once the secret realm disappears, the righteous masters will have nothing to worry about. These two masters will probably face the pursuit and blockade of more than ten righteous masters at once.

Venerable Zhan Nian does not think that he is so powerful that he can easily escape from an opponent who is ten times stronger than him.

Therefore, he had to make arrangements for himself now.

As for what Venerable Huiyang thought? Hey, it was this guy who asked him to come to the southern border to help, but he came here and not only did he get nothing, but he also lost a lot of disciples. Now that he told him that the situation had changed and took him away with him, he had already done his best.

More than that, don’t even think about it.

……

"Pass on my order, all disciples, leave this area immediately, something is wrong." Compared to the troubled Demonic Venerable, the Righteous Venerable Tianyan was much more decisive. After learning that unknown changes had occurred in the area, he immediately issued an order to retreat.

He had no way to take care of the disciples in the secret realm. The most important thing now was to protect the disciples who were still outside.

"Understood! By the way, should we go and warn the people in the South?"

The righteous monks are still kind-hearted. Although the southern monks have never treated them well and have always ignored their words, at this time, the righteous monks are still willing to give them a reminder to stay away from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

"Well, go tell them. If they refuse to leave, then leave them alone. They will suffer the consequences if they do evil." Venerable Tianyan nodded, but his eyes turned to the direction of the demons. "If you leave here, you will lose the amulet that can protect you. I want to see what kind of people you are."

A finely crafted white jade token appeared in his wrinkled hand, and Venerable Tianyan felt that it was time to teach those two daring demon masters a lesson.

There are many venerables nearby who are waiting for the fish to fall into the net.

……

"Hey, Bibo, please don't run around. Can't you just wait here honestly?" Venerable Blue Bird followed Venerable Bibo closely and said to the cold woman in front of him with her back to him with a helpless look on his face.

She was so unlucky to be assigned such a dilemma. The sect leader was too unreasonable. Seeing that she had a good relationship with Bibo, he arranged for her to look after Bibo and not let her run around.

This is an offensive job!

Venerable Blue Bird already knew that Ye Qiuhan had lost contact in the secret realm. As a disciple herself, she could understand Venerable Bi Bo’s current feelings... Wait, it seems that Ye Qiuhan is not Bi Bo’s disciple.

Forget it, it’s almost the same idea. Bibo doesn’t have a biological disciple now, so there’s nothing wrong in taking Ye Qiuhan, the sect leader’s personal disciple, and loving him as his own disciple.

How could he not be anxious when his apprentice was lost? But the Tiandao Sect said that the space there was too fragile and the venerables could not get close. Didn't this make Bibo even more upset?

Even if he was just standing next to Venerable Bi Bo, Venerable Qingniao could feel the chill coming from Venerable Bi Bo.

"Don't worry, I won't ruin the situation. I just want to walk around and see the scenery." Venerable Bi Bo turned around and replied indifferently, "Also, Senior Sister Bi Hai has sent a message. She will come here with Senior Sister Bi Ye."

Except for Venerable Bi Yue who is still preparing for a breakthrough, the three new generation Venerables of Yao Chi will all be dispatched this time.

"Then your mountain gate is..."

“Master, uncles and others will manage it for us temporarily.” Venerable Bi Bo continued.

There are more than just these four venerables in Yao Chi. The venerables of the older generation have just retired, not died.

Now that the sect master's direct disciple has been in trouble, these elder generation masters naturally understand the younger generation's current feelings and are willing to come out and help their disciples at this time.

"Haha...it seems that the Tiandao Sect is going to be in big trouble." Venerable Blue Bird laughed awkwardly twice and wisely chose to skip this dangerous topic.

At this moment, she suddenly stepped on something fragile. With a crisp crackling sound, Venerable Blue Bird could not help but lower her head to look at her feet.

It was a piece of white bone that looked like human.

"He is such a pitiful person to die in such a desolate mountain."

342. Shocking Discovery

If the poor man who died here knew that his bones would be trodden upon by a venerable one, he might even be happy.

Venerable Bluebird leaned over. She felt a little curious about the skeleton. This place was so big, and it was such a coincidence that she stepped on this bone. She felt that this might be a hint.

As soon as she saw it, she immediately discovered that this skeleton was not left by an ordinary person, but came from a demon cultivator who practiced the Hehuan magic.

“His strength during his lifetime was at the Body Tempering Realm. Although he was from Hehuan Valley, it is unlikely that he would die quietly in a place like this. Moreover, the time of death was very recent, perhaps in the past two years…” The more Venerable Blue Bird looked at it, the more strange it seemed to her. So she used her spiritual power to pull up the entire skeleton that was half buried in the soil.

Venerable Bi Bo also forgot to continue being angry with Venerable Qingniao. She came out just to express her dissatisfaction and had no opinion about Venerable Qingniao, her old friend.

Now that Venerable Blue Bird had discovered something strange, Venerable Bi Bo naturally took things into consideration and came over to watch.

"He is indeed from Hehuan Valley. There are marks on this dress, and the style is also that of Hehuan Valley." In the mud, Venerable Blue Bird found a dress that was mostly rotten. Although its original appearance could not be seen, the mark of Hehuan Valley on it was quite obvious.

Next to the dress was a badly damaged jade plaque with the mark of Hehuan Valley on it. If you smelled it closely, you could even smell a faint sweet fragrance that was characteristic of Hehuan Valley.

It was extremely strange that a cultivator from the Body Tempering Realm of Hehuan Valley who was carrying a jade token died silently in such a place.

"No one has reported that a person from the Hehuan Valley has been killed in this place, right? We in the Hundred Beasts Sect definitely haven't." Venerable Blue Bird shook the jade token in his hand and asked Venerable Bi Bo.

"No, the southern border is not a place where the magic is active. In recent years, Hehuan Valley has suffered heavy losses, and the main force has retreated to the northern border." Venerable Bi Bo shook his head. After all, weren't it these two who caused the heavy losses to Hehuan Valley?

"That's interesting. My intuition tells me that there must be some big secret hidden in this jade token." Venerable Blue Bird weighed the jade token in his hand and said, "Let me see what is hidden in this jade token."

As she spoke, she carefully sent her spiritual sense into the jade token.

Originally, she thought she would encounter some resistance, but perhaps because of the severe damage, the spiritual restriction in the jade token was just like the surface of the jade token, and it seemed that it would shatter at the slightest touch.

This provided a great convenience to Venerable Blue Bird. She easily broke through this layer of spiritual restriction and read some fragmentary information from the jade token.

This information immediately caused her expression to change drastically.

It turned out to be such news... She cast a strange look at Master Bi Bo, "It's news related to your Yao Chi, take a look for yourself."

As she spoke, she handed the jade token to Venerable Bi Bo. Some things would only be convincing enough if Venerable Bi Bo saw them himself. If he said it himself, it would only make the matter less credible.

Venerable Bi Bo took the jade token handed over by Venerable Qing Niao, read the information in it with his spiritual sense, and then his face became gloomy.

There were only a few scattered pieces of information in the jade token, but when these pieces of information were pieced together, they revealed a result that made Venerable Bi Bo quite angry.

'Xuan Yin Sect...divination...Yao Chi Qian Lin...Supreme.'

What do these words mean? Are they saying that Qian Lin is the supreme demon master predicted by Xuanyin Sect?

"What nonsense!" Venerable Bi Bo made the judgment without even thinking.

"It's still unclear whether this is nonsense or not. I heard that a certain old man from the Xuanyin Sect made a big news in the northern border. Is this the result?"

"It can't be anyone else but Qian Lin. You and I both know the relationship between her and the devil. How could she be the devil supreme being calculated by the Xuanyin Sect?" Venerable Bi Bo immediately retorted. She had watched Qian Lin grow up. Over the years, Qian Lin had fought with almost all the five major devil sects. When Venerable Xuedie and Venerable Hehuan of Hehuan Valley fell, Qian Lin was there to help.

How could she be the devil's supreme master?

Just based on the few vague words in this jade token?

"You and I have no say in this matter. After all, we found this jade token purely by accident. You can't say that the demons threw it here on purpose to cause internal strife among us, right?" Venerable Blue Bird sighed. If the demons could really do such a thing, they would not be suppressed so harshly by the righteous.

The person died several years ago, and the jade tablet fell here a few years ago. It was unpredictable that Venerable Bi Bo would come here and throw a tantrum.

It is even more impossible for anyone to think that they would step on the bone and then dig it out.

If it weren't for this series of coincidences, this jade plaque would have been buried in the soil forever and no one would have known the secret.

"You don't believe these nonsense, do you?" Venerable Bi Bo narrowed his eyes and his tone became unfriendly. "Qian Lin is our Yao Chi's direct disciple. Her reputation is our Yao Chi's reputation. We will not allow her to be slandered like this."

"I don't want to believe it either, but some things are not a matter of belief or not. This jade token must be handed over. I can't make the decision on this kind of thing. Let your senior sister and my senior brother worry about it." Venerable Blue Bird put the jade token into the storage bag. She also knew that this matter was of great importance and could not be dealt with carelessly.
