Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

369. Progress (0%)

A few more days passed and everything was calm.

But Qian Lin couldn't sit still anymore.

The reason was simple: the people she sent out to snatch the sword had not received any news at all, which was really too weird.

"Something is wrong. If we include Fellow Daoist Qian, the team I sent is definitely enough to completely wipe out the Qilian family. Logically, the news should have been sent back a few days ago."

If the treasure has been obtained, Bai Yiyi will definitely pass the news to Yao Chi as soon as possible. If the treasure is snatched the day before, Qian Lin will get the news the next day.

And now, there is no news at all.

"Did something unexpected happen?" Qian Lin looked up at the sky, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Was there someone obstructing the people she sent out?

Or is there some bold enough guy trying to snatch something from her mouth?

"Hmph, wait for two more days. If there is still no news, send a few more people over. I don't believe that I won't be able to get this little sword."

……

The Body Tempering Realm monks that Qian Lin sent to grab the sword were helpless.

Really helpless.

When they first received this task, they thought it was just an ordinary task that could be completed with just a little effort.

But when they really started the task, they found out how tricky it was.

First of all, what they did was a bit disgraceful after all. It was impossible for them to shout in public that they were the subordinates of the eldest lady of the Qian family and then rush over to rob things.

If they really did that, Qian Lin would be so angry that he would chop them into pieces and feed them to the dogs.

After all, Qian Lin is now playing the role of a kind-hearted and gentle sister doctor, rather than a ruthless and murderous super devil, so her character must be maintained.

Then their opponents were not pigs either. The two gangs of the Qilian family entered the city one after another. Qilian Qing hid in the city, while Qilian Xi and his gang bribed the high-level officials of that city and let the city managers turn a blind eye to the internal strife of their Qilian family.

As long as they don't make too much noise, the mayor of this city will pretend that he has never seen these two groups of people.

Moreover, the city lord will use the city's garrison to help Qilian Xi find Qilian Qing's whereabouts, which can give Qilian Xi a considerable advantage.

But Qi Lianqing’s ability to hide was very good. He hid in the city for many days and was not discovered by those who were pursuing him.

Even Qilian Xi, who had such a huge information advantage, couldn't find Qilian Qing, let alone the Qian family cultivators who also needed to hide their identities.

Even though Qian Handan joined the team a few days ago, they didn't make any significant progress.

After all, compared to finding someone, Qian Handan is better at beating people. She came here this time just to calm the situation and show her force, not to use her brain to help find someone.

Under the influence of various factors, the group of people sent by Qian Lin had been circling in the city, searching for Qi Lian Qing's whereabouts together with Qi Lian Xi and his group, both openly and secretly.

As long as they can find Qilian Qing, the people sent by Qian Lin will have the confidence to persuade Qilian Qing to hand over the treasure. If they can't convince him... they still have a master on their side. Wouldn't it be easy to deal with a person in the Body Tempering Realm who is not considered a genius?

"Where on earth is she hiding? Fortunately, this city is a large one. There are too many places for her to hide. It is impossible to check them one by one." A monk in the Body Tempering Realm with a long beard pulled his beard, and his whole face was almost pulled together.

"This kid from the Qilian family is really cunning. He disappeared as soon as he entered the city. The other people from the Qilian family are probably more anxious than us." Another cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm continued.

"The young lady didn't ask us to seize the treasure within a few days. If we tell her the truth about what happened here, I believe she will understand our difficulties." The third younger cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm spoke up. Qian Lin left a very good impression on him. He felt that the young lady who looked very gentle would not make things too difficult for them.

Hearing this, the faces of several Body Tempering Realm cultivators present relaxed a little. Indeed, Qian Lin was a boss who was easy to talk to. As long as they could complete the task, there would definitely be basic rewards.

But if it drags on for too long and makes the young lady unhappy, then all we can gain from this mission will be the basics.

"I completed a mission perfectly before, and the additional rewards were several times more than the basic reward!" The younger Body Tempering Realm cultivator muttered, "The basic reward for this mission is so high. If I can complete it perfectly... No, even if I can't complete it perfectly, as long as it's done well, we will get it!"

When the bearded monk thought of doubling the basic reward, a hint of enthusiasm flashed in his eyes: "That's right, our young lady is quite generous, so this time, we have to work hard."

"I have someone I know in this city. Perhaps we can ask him to help us find the whereabouts of Qilian Qing." said the third Body Tempering Realm cultivator.

Encouraged by Qian Lin's extremely luxurious reward, these Body Tempering Realm monks began to look for ways one after another, wanting to find Qi Lian Qing as soon as possible.

Of course, they didn't know that Qian Lin had originally only planned to give them a few days to act, and now they had actually exceeded the time limit.

……

after one day.

Qian Lin received a letter sent by Bai Yiyi. The letter was written by Qian Handan, which told Qian Lin the progress of the current mission in detail.

It was also at this time that Qian Lin realized that the completion rate of this task was less than 1%.

"What a bunch of trash! It's been so many days, and there's not even any progress. What are they doing? They want extra rewards, what a dream!" Qian Lin cursed angrily, throwing the letter on the table viciously.

Behind her, Ye Qiuhan, who had just opened the door, showed an interested look. She rarely saw Qian Lin so annoyed.

Carefully closing the door, Ye Qiuhan quietly moved behind Qian Lin. Just as she was planning to give Qian Lin a surprise, she saw Qian Lin turned around with an expressionless face, his deep blue eyes staring straight at her.

Ye Qiuhan subconsciously backed off for a moment, her intuition telling her that playing tricks was not a good choice at this time.

"Hi~" She raised her hand and gave an awkward yet polite smile.

"What are you talking about? I'm in a bad mood today. Don't mess with me." Qian Lin snorted and turned his head away, no longer looking at Ye Qiuhan.

She also knew that Ye Qiuhan had nothing to do with this matter, but she was in a bad mood and couldn't force herself to smile, so she had to let Ye Qiuhan bear with it.

"Why are you in a bad mood? Who has provoked you?" Seeing that the anger on Qian Lin's face did not seem fake, Ye Qiuhan also felt a little curious. What on earth could have made Qian Lin unhappy?

Qian Lin hardly ran around these days. He went back and forth between his home clinic every day. It was impossible that the things in Yao Chi had angered Qian Lin.

If it was really something that happened in Yao Chi that irritated Qian Lin, then this matter would have spread widely and everyone would know about it.

Please do not doubt the gossip abilities of Yao Chi disciples. One person can tell ten people, ten people can tell a hundred people, and one thing can spread throughout the inner sect in an instant.

The nearest inner gate of Yao Chi is peaceful and calm.

"My subordinates are not strong enough." Qian Lin pressed her head and sighed, pointing to the letter that she had just thrown on the table, and motioned Ye Qiuhan to go and read it himself.

Look how useless these useless subordinates are!

Ye Qiuhan picked up the letter and read it quickly, then showed a helpless expression.

This matter really cannot be blamed on Qian Lin's men. It was clearly because Miss Qi Lian was too good at hiding. The Body Tempering Realm cultivators sent by Qian Lin were not very elite, so it was normal that they could not be found.

A truly powerful cultivator in the Body Tempering Realm would never work for Bai Yiyi. He would have gone to the holy land to practice long ago!

Qian Lin can't compare the Holy Land Body Tempering Realm with these ordinary Body Tempering Realm people, isn't that bullying?

"Don't be angry, they have done their best." Ye Qiuhan put down the letter and gently patted Qian Lin's back to comfort Qian Lin. "That Miss Qi Lian doesn't look like an ordinary person. It is definitely a difficult task to find her in such a big city."

"You are still speaking for them, right?" Qian Lin glared at Ye Qiuhan angrily.

"I'm just telling the truth. If you were to go, do you have a good way to quickly find Miss Qi Lian who is hiding in the crowd?" Ye Qiuhan asked unmoved.

This really hit the nail on the head. Qian Lin's expression quickly turned into one of embarrassment and anger. She clenched her fists, and finally let go weakly.

I really can't find a very effective method. I can't just fly to the city and shout at the people in the city to hand over Qi Lian Qing immediately. If they don't, I'll destroy the city.

Please, even the most brutal demon wouldn't dare to shout like this here!

This is near Yao Chi, one of the safest places in the entire Zhongzhou. No demon dares to cause trouble here.

Even if they want to cause trouble, they will do it secretly and it is impossible to act blatantly.

"The Blood Sea Sect does have a secret technique that uses blood to find people, but it requires practicing the Blood Sea Sect's skills to use it, and I don't have that person's blood..." Qian Lin held his head and cried out in grief, "Or I can tell you a fortune, but my fortune-telling skills are not accurate."

"Don't think of using magic methods when you encounter difficulties!"

"No other way. This method is indeed very convenient. I remember that there are similar methods in the Holy Land, right?"

"Well, it only needs something with the breath of the person being searched to be used, but its accuracy cannot compare to the secret technique of the Blood Sea Sect." Ye Qiuhan nodded. Many disciples of the holy land would learn this kind of spiritual skill. It was not of high level and easy to learn. Ye Qiuhan had learned this kind of spiritual skill.

Compared with the secret techniques of the Blood Sea Sect, its accuracy is slightly lower, but the requirements are also much lower.

The Blood Sea Sect just needs the other party's blood, and the holy land's method of finding people only requires objects that are contaminated with that person's breath.

"But we don't have anything tainted with Miss Qi Lian's aura." Ye Qiuhan spread his hands, indicating that this matter was difficult to handle. "If there was, your men would have surely used similar spiritual skills."

"Besides, the person being searched also has other magic to conceal the truth. If it were really that simple, the other members of the Qilian family should have captured Miss Qilian long ago."

Qian Lin doesn't have anything with Qilian Qing's scent, but Qilian Xi should have it. He has so many people under his command, and he has also established connections with the city's administrators. If this method of finding people was effective, Qilian Qing would have been caught long ago.

"So after all, all I can do now is wait, wait for those useless subordinates of mine to succeed?" Qian Lin pressed his brows and suddenly felt very tired.

And the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was not right. Could it be that she would never get the sword?

Hiss... After calculating the uselessness of those subordinates, Qian Lin felt that his idea was very possible!

"Do you have the guts to sneak away?" Ye Qiuhan glanced sideways.

Qian Lin made a muffled sound as his head hit the table lightly.

"No guts."

There's no need to take such a big risk just for a sword whose effect is unknown and you can't use it yet.

……

"Odd. Quite odd."

In the dark secret room, two ordinary-looking men sat opposite each other.

There was some information on the small table in front of them, some of which contained clues indicating that the city lord was secretly looking for something.

"There have been a few people from the Western Region who have been entering and leaving the City Lord's Mansion these past few days. I suspect this incident may be related to them." A man had a few very light blood-colored threads on his forehead. Under the illumination of the spirit stone lamp, his eyes were filled with a very deep blood-colored color. "Why are people from the Western Region appearing here?"

Another man in the secret room held a few bone dice with a large number of sides in his hand. He casually threw the dice on the table and said, "Then let me calculate what secrets are hidden in them..."

It is the habit of the Xuanyin Sect's cultivators to tell fortunes whenever they have time.

But this time, the dice he threw did not give a result, but instead spun rapidly on the table. It seemed that this matter was extremely complicated and could not be solved by such a simple divination method.

After spinning rapidly for several breaths, the dice finally stopped. However, the dice that were just surrounded by a faint black aura had now completely lost their spiritual energy, and the patterns engraved on them to display the results also disappeared.

The cultivator from Xuanyin Sect stretched out his hand and lightly touched the dice, and they silently turned into white and fine powder.

"There is a big secret!" The Xuanyin Sect cultivator's pupils constricted and his breathing became rapid.

Although this divination did not produce any results, it was also a result, representing that there was a very important secret hidden behind this matter, which was not something that could be obtained through an ordinary divination.

Several spiritual weapon dice were destroyed, but in return for such a result, it was definitely a big profit!

"I will report this matter immediately..."

"I have already reported it." The other person said in a cold voice with a flash of red in his eyes.

370. Uncle Biye’s Invitation

"You... well, I know a thing or two about your Blood Sea Sect's methods. They are indeed very magical." The Xuanyin Sect cultivator snorted coldly, "Your real body can hide in a safe place, which is much better than mine."

Almost everyone in the Blood Sea Sect can condense a blood incarnation, and the one sitting opposite him is the blood incarnation of a Blood Sea Sect master.

The Blood Sea Sect's master's real body is located in the Blood Sea Sect in the northern border, but his consciousness came here through the magical bond between blood. What he just said has been reported, which means that his real body has already told the people of the Blood Sea Sect about this matter.

"The body I am occupying now is just that of an ordinary Pei Yuan realm cultivator. If anything really happens, I still need you to take action." The Blood Sea Sect's Grandmaster shook his head, his expression somewhat gloomy, "But here, there is not much we can do."

This place is under the nose of Yao Chi. From time to time, masters from the holy land pass by. If they make a little noise here, Yao Chi will definitely pounce on them and destroy them like a shark smelling blood.

Being an undercover agent here really means putting your head on the line.

The man from Xuanyin Sect offended a big shot, so he was exiled here. As for the man from Xuehai Sect, there was no reason. Anyway, it was only his spiritual consciousness that came here, so it didn't matter even if his current body was completely scrapped.

"Me? You know my personality and strength. Haha, the master I offended died in the southern border not long ago. I just want to spend the last bit of time well and then go to work somewhere else." The cultivator from Xuanyin Sect shook his head with a hint of pride on his face.

God knows how surprised he was when he got the news. The person he offended was a late-stage Grandmaster who had the potential to become a Venerable. It was said that Venerable Huiyang in the sect was very optimistic about the person he offended.

Otherwise, why would he choose to exile himself to this dangerous place?

Now, that late-stage grandmaster died in the southern border, and even Venerable Huiyang was seriously injured. I'm afraid he won't be able to show up in the next few years.

If he didn't seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape, he would be seeking death.

He had to come here out of necessity, and now that he had the chance to leave, he would of course do his best to leave.

"It seems that I will have a new colleague soon." The expression of the man from the Xuehai Sect did not change. He has been lurking here for nearly ten years, and his colleagues have changed one after another. The man from the Xuanyin Sect is the one who has partnered with him the longest.

Moreover, although this person's work attitude was not very correct, he was cautious and prudent, which brought many benefits to his work. The monks of the Blood Sea Sect were reluctant to let him leave.

"It's hard to say. Not many people would come to this dangerous place. Only people from the Blood Sea Sect would dare to take such a big risk. Oh, I almost forgot. Other masters of the Blood Sea Sect don't have the powerful clone technique like you."

"You have some vision. If the sect master hadn't favored that waste Xuedie, I, Xue Jue, would have broken through the bottleneck and become a Venerable long ago. Haha, the sect master has put so much effort into helping Xuedie break through, but now he has ended up losing more than he gained. It's really laughable." A hint of pride and resentment flashed in Xue Jue's eyes. He believed that his talent and strength were better than that Xuedie, but the sect master would rather help Xuedie break through than even look at him.
