The city lord sneered and said angrily, "No? Then why did she leave at this time? Why were all the demon cultivators in the city slaughtered, but she disappeared without a trace?

"Meng Wan, you are too naive! She is not some wandering cultivator at all, but a demon! She is the real culprit behind the massacre!"

When Meng Wan heard this, her face was full of shock, as if she couldn't believe it.

"City Lord, are you saying that Senior Bai Shuang is a demon? How is this possible? She clearly doesn't have any demonic aura!"

"Some demons with extraordinary talents can indeed completely suppress their demonic energy. We were all deceived by her!"

The city lord suppressed his anger and grief, "I was wondering why Bai Shuang was so kind to save you, it turns out she had a plan all along!"

Meng Wan was a little uneasy. "If that's the case, then I, I've harmed everyone, haven't I?"

Seeing her blaming herself so much, the last trace of doubt in the city lord's heart completely disappeared.

She sighed and said in a heavy tone, "It's not your fault. You were deceived by her. The most important thing now is to find Bai Shuang and avenge the dead demon people!"

Meng Wan nodded. "City Lord, I will do my best to assist you and find Senior Bai Shuang... No, find that damned demon and use her blood to sacrifice to all my fellow citizens in this city!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Chiying, Xuansha and the other two who were hiding in the dark suddenly became gloomy.

"Bai Shuang...became a demon? Massacred the city?

"Chi Ying repeated in a low voice, his tone full of disbelief, "This is absolutely impossible!"

Xuansha nodded, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"We know Bai Shuang's character best. She would never do such a thing. Besides, she has no reason to massacre the city."

Even the usually quiet Qing Feng said, "Bai Shuang is an ice demon with a cold temperament. The possibility of her becoming possessed by a demon is very small."

Chi Ying's gaze fell on Meng Wan, his eyes full of suspicion.

"We can't easily draw conclusions based on Meng Wan's one-sided statement. On the contrary, I feel that there is something very wrong with Meng Wan. I've had this feeling since she rashly went deep into the demon's lair."

"Yes, maybe she has long been aware of our presence, and everything she did was intentional."

Xuansha's eyes were filled with even more coldness. "There's just one thing I can't understand. Where did Bai Shuang go? And who did this massacre in the city?"

With Meng Wan's cultivation level, is it too much to massacre the entire city in just one hour? "

After these words were spoken, Chi Ying fell silent.

Not to mention Meng Wan, whose cultivation was only at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, even he would not be able to completely kill all the demon cultivators in the city in such a short time.

After a long silence, Chi Ying slowly spoke, "Don't forget Meng Wan's identity. She is a demon from the Suzaku clan. Standing behind her is the entire Suzaku clan."

Xuansha's eyes flashed with hesitation, "You mean... the massacre in the city was done by the Suzaku tribe?"

Chi Ying nodded slowly, "I just think that there is a possibility."

"Should we report this matter to His Excellency and His Majesty the Demon King?"

"Please report the truth first. These are just our guesses. Your Excellency and the Demon King will surely have a more comprehensive view than us."

The news was passed back to the Demon King's Palace, and the Demon King calmly looked at Venerable Jin Peng below.

"What do you think about the massacre?"

Cold sweat immediately ran down Venerable Jin Peng's back.

He saluted quickly and almost cried out for justice.

"Your Majesty, I have watched Chiying, Qingfeng, Xuansha, and Baishuang grow up under my watch. There is no way they could degenerate into demons and commit acts of slaughtering a city!"

The Demon King's eyes grew deeper. "So, do you think it's Meng Wan's fault?"

Venerable Jin Peng still lowered his head, "With Meng Wan's cultivation level, it is almost impossible for her to accomplish the massacre of the city alone, so there must be some kind of force behind her.

Perhaps from the very beginning, the Suzaku and Xuanwu tribes deliberately fought over Meng Wan as part of a plot."

A cold light flashed in the Demon King's eyes. "What a Suzaku! What a Black Tortoise! ​​It turns out they are feigning discord just to annoy me!"

Venerable Jin Peng hesitated and said, "We have no evidence for this matter..."

The Demon King raised his hand to stop him from finishing his words, his tone cold and hard.

"Since they planned this, they naturally won't let us find evidence so easily. Since they want to play dirty, don't blame me for being rude.

Jin Peng, the Suzaku tribe has several mineral veins in Nanzhou. You must take people to seize those mineral veins. Remember, do it cleanly.

Jin Peng's heart trembled, "Yes."

While Jin Peng was secretly working for the Demon King, Meng Wan was accompanying the City Lord in searching for the non-existent Bai Shuang.

The city lord stood on the ruins, his eyes tired and frustrated.

She had been searching the area with Meng Wan and a group of elite soldiers for several days, but still could not find any trace of Bai Shuang.

All the demon cultivators in the city were slaughtered, but the murderer seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, leaving no clues.

"We can't delay any longer..."

The City Lord murmured in a low voice, his tone heavy, "I must go to the Demon King's Palace to apologize to His Majesty. I cannot escape the blame for such a tragedy that occurred in the city."

She turned to look at Meng Wan with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

"Meng Wan, please come with me. You are of noble status, and with you here to intercede for me, perhaps His Majesty will show me a lighter sentence."

Upon hearing this, Meng Wan patted her chest generously.

"Don't worry, City Lord. I will definitely intercede for you. After all, this matter can't be entirely your fault. Who could have imagined that Senior Bai Shuang... no, that demonic demon would be so cunning!"

Seeing her so straightforward, the city lord felt a little relieved.

"Thank you, Meng Wan."

Meng Wan smiled and said, "You are too polite, Lord. This is what I should do."

The next day, the city lord brought a group of elite soldiers and headed towards the Demon King's Palace with Meng Wan.

The team was huge, but the atmosphere was particularly heavy.

Everyone knew that they were going there to apologize, and they didn't know how the Demon King would deal with them.

However, not long after they started walking, a low laugh suddenly came from the front.

Immediately afterwards, several demons in the Void Refinement Stage rushed out from the forest and looked at them with interest.

"It's the wave of demons from a few days ago!"

The city lord's expression changed, and his tone was filled with anger, "How dare they show up!"

Meng Wan stood beside the City Lord, looking terrified. "City Lord, what should we do?"

The city lord gritted his teeth and said, "Since they've come to our door, don't blame us for being rude! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

Before she could finish her words, the demons and monsters had already launched their attack.

The black bear demon suddenly leaped up, and its huge claws, with a sharp gust of wind, slammed towards the team.

The giant python demon opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a foul-smelling poisonous mist that swept towards everyone.

"kill!"

The city lord gave a low roar and rushed forward with a group of elite soldiers, and a battle broke out in an instant.
