Miss Demon Lord will never surrender to the Saint

After knocking Qian Lin down with a wonderful backstab, the situation faced by the Saint was not very good. She had to spend a lot of time dealing with the remnants of the demons who had become crazy because of the death of the Demon Lord, until she realized that there was something wrong with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

After that, she had even less time to explore the sea, and all her energy was spent on contacting the fairies in the fairy world.

To be honest, the Saint's exploration of the sea is not as good as Qian Lin's.

"Damn!" Qian Lin said with disdain.

The Saint snorted in response.

After the two of them exchanged a few words, Venerable Bi Ye had already flown on a cloud and landed in an unnoticed corner of Chiyue City.

The clouds disappeared, and Venerable Bi Ye walked slowly towards Chiyue City with her two nephews. This time, she did not plan to go into the city in a big way, as she could not handle the social engagements.

Therefore, the best option for Venerable Bi Ye is to enter the city with a concealed identity, do what he should do and then leave.

In order to achieve this goal, she also used some small tricks to make it difficult for the weaker monks to see and remember the appearance of the few people, and they would only think that the people entering the city were three ordinary female monks.

In this city without the protection of any venerable, no one can see through Venerable Bi Ye's method.

They entered the city very smoothly and walked straight towards their destination, while Qian Lin and Ye Qiuhan lagged behind him a few steps and followed closely behind him.

"Are you causing trouble again?" Ye Qiuhan looked at Qian Lin's hand on a jade token on his waist, and immediately understood that Qian Lin must be causing trouble again.

The light on the jade token flickered, and Qian Lin's sight gradually became empty, her attention seemed to have completely left this place.

But after hearing Ye Qiuhan's voice, she still found time to say a few words in her busy schedule, "Stop talking nonsense and just go your way."

This time during her visit to Chiyue City, she had only a short amount of time to move around. After meeting Reverend Biye's old friend, Qian Lin didn't dare to daydream in front of the two old seniors, as that would give people a bad impression that she was a very impolite disciple of Yao Chi.

It might even disrupt Reverend Bi Ye's plan, and Qian Lin cannot bear such a responsibility.

Therefore, she had to take advantage of this opportunity to slack off and command her group of incompetent subordinates to capture Qi Lian Qing!

……

"We've locked the target in the south of the city. The young lady has come in person, and we can't let her down!"

"That's right! We can't let her down!"

"Hurry to the south of the city, we have to complete the mission before the young lady leaves here!"

Everyone in the conference room dispersed and rushed towards the place marked by Qian Lin.

Only one person was still sitting quietly in the conference room, watching the image projected by the jade tablet, looking at the huge red dot located in the south of Chiyue City.

This is the location of the mark that Qian Lin sensed. Unless Qilian Qing has the ability to deceive Qian Lin's perception, those Body Tempering Realm cultivators who just rushed out will definitely be able to find Qilian Qing in this area.

Qian Handan picked up the jade token. She stayed here not to be lazy, but as a master, she had to be careful with every move she made in this city to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

There are more powerful people in this city than just her.

The people in the Body Tempering Realm were fighting in the shadows. As long as it did not affect the nearby residents, the city lord could turn a blind eye. But if a master took action, the situation would be out of control.

Therefore, Qian Handan would not take action unless it was absolutely necessary. She would just keep it as a trump card in the back. She would only take action if those in the Body Tempering Realm really could not complete the task.

After making her move, she had to run away quickly. After all, Qi Lianqing was also the target of the city lord's forces, and she was stealing something from the owner of this city.

"She's moving very slowly. If I could get a little closer, my perception would be more accurate." Qian Lin's regretful voice came from the jade token.

But after just a few breaths, Qian Lin's voice became shocked and unbelievable, "My mark was erased?!"

……

The south of Chiyue City is the most mixed place in the entire Chiyue City. It is also a place where filth and dirt are hidden. Countless people with shady identities hide here. For Qilian Qing, this is undoubtedly the best place to settle down.

She had changed out of her conspicuous white clothes and put on the most popular black robe here. Her face with the iconic pattern was also hidden. Here, simple disguise items could be easily purchased.

This kind of concealment can be discovered by anyone with a little bit of cultivation, but it is better than walking around with your original face.

A few days ago, Qilian clearly saw the traitors of the Qilian family walking with the guards in the city and conducting a detailed search here.

She knew that her enemies had gained powerful helpers, but for her, this was still the safest place to hide.

But today, it seemed that her hiding could no longer continue.

The story begins from yesterday. On that day, Qilian Qing scouted the city according to the original plan and planned an escape route after her identity was exposed. But halfway through the scouting, the Qilian family magic sword she carried with her suddenly became restless.

To put it more clearly, the sword began to shake like crazy, and it even showed signs of flying out of Qilian Qing's control.

Qi Lianqing quickly grabbed the sword, and then in a trance, she appeared at the city gate for some reason, and her eyes fell on a girl with a sharp aura.

At that moment, Qi Lianqing knew that something was wrong. How could a girl with such an aura not notice her spying? The next moment she looked away, the girl looked in her direction.

Fortunately, Qi Lianqing was very good at hiding his abilities and was not discovered by the girl.

The magic sword seemed to have exhausted all its strength and calmed down again. Without a second thought, Qi Lian Qing immediately took the magic sword back to his temporary residence in the south of the city.

But on the way back, she met Qi Lianxi.

Although the two of them only had one eye contact at that time, Qi Lianqing felt that with Qi Lianxi's sensitivity, this eye contact was enough for him to confirm his identity.

That guy is indeed a shameful traitor, but since he was sent by the people behind the scenes to hunt down Qi Lian Qing, he must be no ordinary person.

As expected, since early this morning, many unsociable people have appeared on the streets in the south of the city. Qi Lianqing could tell at a glance that these people were disguised as guards in the city, and their purpose, of course, was to catch him.

372. Self-inflicted trouble

"Hmph, I finally caught you. Let's see where you can run to now!" Staring at the detailed map of the southern area of ​​Chiyue City nailed to the wall, Qi Lianxi's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

The bigwigs in the tribe are very dissatisfied with his current progress and have urged Qilian Xi many times to quickly take back the magic sword. Facing these urgings, Qilian Xi just wants to say to those bigwigs staying in the Western Territory: If you can do it, then do it!

He has tried his best to catch Qi Lian Qing. Wouldn't it be better for these big shots to just concentrate on their conspiracies and internal strife in the Western Territory instead of interfering with him?

No matter how much you urge me, I can't conjure up Qilian Qing immediately.

In order to get the City Lord of Chiyue City to stand with him, Qilian Xi had to use all his words and almost put his entire fortune at stake before he got the City Lord's nod. When he thought about how much he had been cheated of by this City Lord, Qilian Xi was so angry that his teeth were itching.

And now, this damn thing is finally coming to an end. He will soon be able to find Qi Lianqing, take back the magic sword, and return to his family to enjoy the glory.

The area where Qilian Qing is located has been completely blocked off, and anyone who wants to come out needs to undergo extremely strict inspection. Qilian Xi believes that with Qilian Qing's ability, it is impossible for him to escape this level of search.

Several other members of the Qilian family have each led a team to conduct a carpet search of the area. It only takes a little time and Qilian Qing will be trapped with nowhere to hide!

Haha, you've been hiding for so long, and finally you have nowhere to hide. This day next year will be the anniversary of your death! Qi Lianxi clenched his fists, his face full of satisfaction at having his revenge.

"Brother Xi! The people who are following us sent a message. It seems that other forces are reaching out to this place."

The jade token on the table suddenly began to vibrate. Qi Lianxi picked up the token and frowned slightly.

Are there other forces involved?

"The opponent is very powerful, and all of their members are in the Body Tempering Realm. They don't look like show-offs. Are they here to hinder us?"

The second piece of news made Qi Lianxi's face even gloomier. The sudden appearance of so many Body Tempering Realm cultivators at this critical juncture was not a good sign.

But it doesn't seem so good to arbitrarily classify them as enemies. Maybe their entry here is just a coincidence. If Qilian Xi takes the initiative to act, the situation will most likely get out of control.

Qi Lianxi bribed the city lord, but given the city lord's temper, it is not impossible that he was bribed by another force.

"It's hard to say right now. You guys should act according to the original plan, but send some people out to keep an eye on the newcomers and see what they are up to."

"Yes!"

……

"You, you, quietly follow those people who just passed by, and everyone else, continue searching with me!" Qi Lianhu casually pointed out two people from his team and asked them to follow the people who had just passed by his team in a hurry.

And he was going to search the grocery store not far away.

Among all the people in the Qilian family who were hunting down Qilian Qing, Qilian Xi was the undisputed eldest brother, while Qilian Hu was the controversial third oldest. He was the oldest among the pursuers, but his strength was mediocre. Although he had a high status, not many people respected him.

Now he was holding his breath, determined to be the first to catch Qi Lian Qing and let those who looked down on him know how stupid their contempt was!

With big strides and vigorous momentum, Qi Lianhu rushed to the grocery store and shouted with full energy: "Search, everyone inside, get out!"

As he shouted, he released all his aura. The aura of the Body Tempering Realm was the best pass here.

The venerables are elusive and the grandmasters seldom come here to interfere, so the ones in the Body Tempering Realm naturally become the little overlords here.

Coupled with the black badge on Qilianhu's chest representing the city lord's special authorization, he can almost walk sideways here.

As long as you don't meet some weird people.

But maybe his luck was just that bad, and he really met a strange person during this search.

Xue Jue walked out of the grocery store. His identity in this city was the owner of a grocery store.

Walking outside the store with a puzzled and uneasy expression, Xue Jue asked timidly like a real commoner: "Sir, I am doing a legitimate business here."

As an undercover agent lurking in the heart of righteousness, Xue Jue's acting ability is naturally first-rate.

In addition, Qilian Hu had never doubted his identity, so he easily gained Qilian Hu's trust this time.

"Have you ever seen the person in the portrait? Think about it and then answer me." Qi Lianhu took out Qi Lianqing's portrait and pointed at the girl with unusually obvious features in the portrait and asked.

While questioning Xue Jue, he also made a gesture to the people behind him, indicating his men to go search the grocery store.

These men, who were originally hired temporarily, immediately rushed to the grocery store and swept through the store like a hurricane. In a flash, they turned the originally clean and tidy grocery store into a mess.

Hearing the noisy sound of banging on the wall behind him, and seeing out of the corner of his eye that those people did not forget to take some things to enrich themselves while searching, Xue Jue's eyes suddenly became cold and gloomy.

But the chill only lasted for a moment before it dissipated. He returned to his disguised state, looked at the portrait carefully, and after pondering for a few breaths, he shook his head, indicating that he had never seen the girl in the portrait.

"I have never seen this person. If there is such an obvious mark on his face, I will never forget it once I see it." Xue Jue replied with his head lowered.

He now just wanted to get rid of this group of people quickly and didn't want any unnecessary complications to occur.

"Are you serious? You really haven't seen this person?" Qi Lianhu narrowed his eyes and asked in a ferocious tone.

"Really? I've never seen this person before!"

"Oh, that's fine..." After staring at Xue Jue's eyes for a long time and finding no signs of lying from the man in front of him, Qi Lian Hu nodded. It seemed that this man really didn't know the whereabouts of Qi Lian Qing.

He was about to call back his men when he heard them suddenly shouting loudly.

"There's a secret door here!"

"The secret passage is a secret passage leading underground!"

Xue Jue's expression suddenly changed. His secret door was clearly set in a very hidden place, and it was impossible for ordinary people to find it.

How lucky must Qilian Hu's men be to be able to find the secret door in the store in such a short time?

"Secret door?" Qi Lianhu pushed Xue Jue in front of him away without saying a word and walked straight into the shop.

"Wait, that's..." A trace of panic flashed in Xue Jue's eyes. Although there was no real evidence in that secret room, there were still some not-so-wonderful things hidden inside.

These things cannot firmly prove his identity as a demon, but if someone wants to track him down, he can only give up his current identity and leave Chiyue City. In other words, his mission will completely fail.

Damn it, everything was fine in the past few years, why was the secret door suddenly discovered today?

"What's that?" Qilianhu turned around, his eyes like a tiger waiting to devour anyone, "Are you really harboring a wanted criminal?"

"Of course not, but that's mine..."

"Since you have a clear conscience, what's wrong with us searching it?" Qi Lianhu interrupted Xue Jue's words with an impatient look on his face, walked into the shop without hesitation, and walked towards the opened secret door.

His men had entered the dark room one after another. Judging from the noise coming from inside, they were probably rummaging through the drawers and cabinets looking for something.

In fact, Xue Jue’s dark room was very small, and could only accommodate two people sitting opposite each other. What was piled up in the dark room were not valuable treasures, but dusty books.

This looks like a very ordinary secret room. Most of the buildings in the south of Chiyue City have secret rooms.

Xue Jue's dark room is considered to be simple among many dark rooms. Anyone with a little common sense would know that it is impossible to hide anyone here.

Ordinary people would just take a look and that would be the end of it. More careful people might even search to see if there are other secret doors in the dark room, but the people brought by Qilian Hu were completely different from the previous two.

When these people discovered that there was not only no one in the dark room but also no valuable treasures, they immediately became furious, as if Xue Jue's failure to hide treasure in the dark room was a heinous act.

The people hired by Qilian Hu were originally a group of scoundrels. It was impossible for them to come to search without taking some things back. When they were searching outside just now, they took away a lot of goods from the grocery store.

Now that they had entered the dark room, they had hoped to retrieve something more valuable, but they had not expected that there was no treasure here.

"Impossible, why would he build this darkroom if there is no treasure? He may have hidden the treasure in these books. Turn over each one for me!"

So, guided by the idea that a thief never leaves empty-handed, these people with no discipline began to quickly flip through the books that Xue Jue had piled up in the dark room.

When Xue Jue walked to the door of the dark room and saw this scene, he was immediately furious. He didn't care about acting at this moment and shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Put down those books!"

But those people seemed to have no ears. Xue Jue's roar not only did not make them restrain themselves, but made them flip through the books even faster and more violently.

After reading the book, they threw it away as if it were some useless garbage.

Xue Jue wanted to rush down to stop these people from searching, but Qi Lian Hu's strong body firmly blocked his progress.
