She calmly suppressed her doubts, still with a grateful smile on her face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. Meng Wan will definitely remember your Majesty's teachings and return soon."

The Demon King nodded, his tone casual, "Go ahead, travel well, and give my regards to your father."

"Yes, Meng Wan will definitely convey your Majesty's message. If there is nothing else, Meng Wan will take her leave first."

After Meng Wan respectfully bowed and was about to leave, the Demon King's gaze on her suddenly became deep and complicated.

"Wait a minute, I heard that you ruined other people's assessments in the secret realm this time?"

Meng Wan seemed to have expected that the Demon King would question this matter, and she responded calmly with a yes.

"Meng Wan did deliberately cause trouble, intentionally causing others to fail the assessment. This is Meng Wan's fault. Your Majesty, please punish her."

The Demon King's eyes were calm, and his tone was inarticulate. "Oh? Why did you do this?"

Meng Wan said confidently, "Meng Wan did this for the sake of those people."

"For their sake?"

The Demon King raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was interested in Meng Wan's statement. "Tell me, I want to hear why you think so."

Meng Wan explained sincerely.

"The inheritance assessment of the Ancient Demon Saint is incredibly difficult. Nine levels of testing encompass the techniques of elixir, talismans, array formations, puppetry, pulse and acupuncture point detection, divine prediction, and combat talent. Each one requires exceptional talent and a significant amount of time to master.

The Ancient Demon Saint kept saying he was looking for a peerless genius, but in reality, he was simply making things difficult for people. Meng Wan suspected he didn't want to leave his legacy behind.

She paused and continued, “Most of the demon cultivators who participated in the assessment were just ordinary cultivators, and it was impossible for them to pass such a rigorous test.

If they were allowed to continue, not only would they waste time, they might also lose their lives.

That's why I deliberately interfered with them and made them fail at the first level."

After hearing this, a meaningful smile flashed in the Demon King's eyes.

“What you said is quite novel.

However, the Ancient Demon Saint had a reason for setting such a rigorous test. Aren't you being too presumptuous to interfere with others without authorization?

Meng Wan lowered her head and said unconvincedly.

"Your Majesty is right. Meng Wan was indeed a bit reckless, but Meng Wan just couldn't bear to see them die in vain.

The Ancient Demon Saint deliberately made the inheritance so difficult. Since he is deliberately making things difficult for future generations, it is better to give up the inheritance of the Ancient Demon Saint."

"Be careful with your words!"

The Demon King frowned unhappily, "The Demon Saint's inheritance is of vital importance. How can we give it up so easily?"

Meng Wan bit her lip unwillingly. "I just think that His Majesty the Demon King is kind and benevolent. If you ascend to heaven in the future and leave behind a legacy, it will definitely not be as difficult as the Valley Demon Saint."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

A hint of deep meaning flashed in the Demon King's eyes.

Although Meng Wan's actions were wrong, her words made sense.

The inheritance left by the Great Sage Yougu was indeed useless. No one had been able to obtain it for so many years.

Although he cannot leave behind a complete inheritance now, he can still leave behind a part of it.

Rather than having his subordinates invest a lot of energy in obtaining the inheritance, it would be better to ascend to the top by riding on the reputation of the Demon Saint of the Valley...

Thinking of this, the Demon King couldn't help but feel frightened again.

Meng Wan praised him for his kindness, was it intentional or unintentional?

If she did it on purpose and led him to think of stepping on the Demon Saint of the Valley to ascend to the throne, then her scheming was too deep.

The Demon King looked at Meng Wan calmly, recalling what she had done during this period and her performance in the secret realm reported by her subordinates, and finally overturned this idea.

Meng Wan is at most a little clever, but her scheming is not that deep.

The Demon King suppressed his thoughts and said calmly, "Let's forget about this matter. Remember not to act so impulsively in the future."

Meng Wan agreed obediently and left the palace.

Returning to her residence, she recalled her conversation with the Demon King.

After making sure that every word he said was just right, neither appearing too deliberate nor successfully guiding the Demon King's thoughts.

A satisfied smile appeared on Meng Wan's lips. What she had done in the secret realm was now in the past.

However, the Demon King readily agreed to let her travel and visit her relatives.

But there is no guarantee that some crisis will not be created along the way, forcing her to seek help or return to the Demon King's Palace.

A deep meaning flashed in Meng Wan's eyes. Even if the Demon King did not take any action, she would not be able to return to the Suzaku Clan.

The identity of the little princess of the Suzaku clan was originally fake. If she returned to the Suzaku clan, wouldn’t she be walking into a knife edge?

She just travels outside.

It seems that as long as she doesn't take the initiative to return to the Suzaku Clan, those people arranged by the Demon King to follow her secretly will not show up on their own initiative.

After figuring this out, Meng Wan's smile deepened.

Speaking of which, the Tianyao Realm is truly a treasure land.

After she came here, she not only inherited the legacy of the Twelve Demon Gods, but also successfully cultivated herself into a demon with a human body. Her cultivation level even broke through from the Nascent Soul stage to the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage in one fell swoop.

She also transformed herself into the little princess of the Suzaku clan and a distinguished guest of the Demon King's Palace.

Compared to the days when I was a slave to the Wu family among the human race, it was completely different.

Meng Wan made up her mind to stay in the Heavenly Demon Realm for some time, and when her cultivation level was higher, she would return to the human world to settle accounts with the Wu family.

The Wu family dared to make her a slave, and she will always remember this grudge. Sooner or later, she will make everyone in the Wu family kneel before her and repent and beg for mercy!

And her magic skills, I still have one last trick to learn, and I don't know if the Grandmother is still alive...

Three days later, Meng Wan formally bid farewell to Venerable Jin Peng and left the Demon King Palace.

Before leaving, Venerable Jin Peng gave Meng Wan a storage magic tool, which contained many demon crystals, cultivation resources, and a top-grade Taoist weapon.

"Little Princess, it's always a good idea to carry more demon crystals with you when traveling. Please take these things with you for future use."

Venerable Jin Peng spoke in a gentle tone, as if he was thinking of Meng Wan.

Meng Wan took the storage magic tool with a sincere and grateful smile on her face.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency. Meng Wan will definitely live up to your expectations and break through and return soon."

Venerable Jin Peng nodded and watched Meng Wan leave.

When her figure completely disappeared in the distance, a complex look flashed across Venerable Jin Peng's eyes.

He suddenly spoke, whispering to the air, "Chiying, Qingfeng, Xuansha, Baishuang."

There was a slight ripple in the air, as if something was surging in the dark.

A moment later, two figures appeared quietly, knelt on one knee, and waited for the order from Venerable Jin Peng.

"Chiying, Qingfeng, meet the Venerable."

Venerable Jin Peng glanced at the two demons, "Where are Xuan Sha and Bai Shuang?"

Chi Ying raised his head and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, Xuan Sha and Bai Shuang have followed Meng Wan and are monitoring her movements."
