Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed out from the exit, emitting a strong demonic aura. It was actually a human!
"It's her! That human cultivator!"
Heifeng's pupils suddenly contracted and he shouted sternly.
Jin Jia also reacted instantly, his expression changed drastically, "Quick! Stop her!"
A group of powerful demons took out their magic weapons and chased after "Meng Wan" frantically.
That "Meng Wan" seemed to be injured and was not very fast, but with the Taoist weapon in his hand, he still easily left the others behind.
Seeing this, Jin Jia quickly turned around and clasped his fists towards Meng Wan.
"Lord Tian Yao, please wait a moment. We will first capture the human cultivator and then escort you to the Demon King Palace!"
Meng Wan glanced at him coldly, with a hint of disdain in her tone.
"A mere human Yuanying cultivator has caused you all so much trouble. You are such a waste."
Jin Jia's face froze, but he didn't dare to refute and could only lower his head.
"As the lord has taught us, we will capture him as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he didn't delay any longer and led a group of powerful demons to chase after "Meng Wan".
Before leaving, Heifeng couldn't help but look back at Meng Wan, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He always felt that something was wrong, but the situation was urgent and he had no time to think about it. He could only follow Jin Jia and others to chase after them.
After everyone left, Meng Wan sneered and muttered, "A bunch of idiots."
With a thought, she suddenly disappeared from the spot, turning into a black shadow, and rushed in the opposite direction of "Human Meng Wan".
It turns out that the "human Meng Wan" is none other than her clone "Wu Zhiwei"!
"Wu Zhiwei" is also a human, and has reached the Nascent Soul stage, making her the perfect person to impersonate the real person.
The appearance of "Wu Zhiwei" successfully diverted the attention of Jin Jia and others.
She took the opportunity to escape and quickly moved away from the Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons.
Although "Meng Wan" was only at the Nascent Soul stage, she could activate the Taoist weapon left by Wu Zhiwei and her speed was astonishing. It would take some effort for those demon generals to catch up with her.
After an incense stick of time, Jin Jia and others finally caught up with "Meng Wan".
Seeing that there was no way to escape, the clone simply stopped and looked at everyone coldly.
"Human cultivators, why don't you surrender!"
Jin Jia shouted sternly.
"Meng Wan" sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"Just you guys, you want to arrest me?"
Before she finished speaking, her body suddenly swelled up, demonic energy surged wildly around her, and then exploded!
"boom--!"
The terrifying explosion instantly blew away the surrounding powerful demons. Jinjia and Heifeng were also shocked and retreated repeatedly, their faces changed drastically.
"Oh no! I've been tricked!"
Heifeng exclaimed.
Jin Jia's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! That human cultivator actually used his clone to lure us away!"
He suddenly thought of something, turned around abruptly, and looked towards the exit of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons, but found that Meng Wan was no longer there.
"Oh no! That demon bloodline..."
Jinjia's heart sank, and he immediately realized that he had fallen into a trap.
Heifeng also reacted and said with a grim expression.
"The timing of this human cultivator's appearance is too coincidental. Lord Jinjia, there may be something wrong with the demon's bloodline!"
Jin Jia gritted his teeth, his fists clenched until they cracked. "Chase! No matter what, we must catch her!"
However, at this time, Meng Wan had already fled thousands of miles away and disappeared without a trace.
She stood on a high cliff, looking into the distance in the direction of the Tomb of Ten Thousand Demons, with a cold murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
"I'll remember this for destroying my clone."
She murmured softly, then turned and sped off into the distance.
Inside the Demon King's Palace, the atmosphere was so heavy that it was almost suffocating.
The Demon King sat high on the throne, demonic energy surging around him like a volcano about to erupt.
His gaze was as cold as a knife as he swept across Jin Jia and Hei Feng who were kneeling on the ground. His voice was low and full of murderous intent.
"You're saying that the bloodline of the demon is a human cultivator pretending to be one?"
Jin Jia was trembling all over, his forehead pressed against the ground, and his voice was hoarse.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and fell for the trick of that human cultivator! She...she was able to transform into a true dragon, and even I was deceived!"
"waste!"
The Demon King suddenly slapped the armrest, and the entire hall shook.
Heifeng knelt aside, his face pale, and explained hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, that human cultivator's methods are so strange that he was able to forge the bloodline of a celestial demon and even transform into a true dragon. It's truly, truly difficult to tell the difference!"
"Difficult to tell?"
The Demon King sneered, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"In that case, what's the point of keeping you?"
Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it, and a terrifying demonic energy instantly pierced through Heifeng's chest.
“Puff!”
Heifeng didn't even have time to scream before his body flew backwards like a rag and fell heavily to the ground, dead.
Seeing this, Jin Jia was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, spare my life! I am willing to redeem myself from my crime and pursue that human cultivator to the death!"
The Demon King looked at him coldly with a stern tone.
“Jinjia, you are one of the twelve demon generals, with the cultivation level of the Void Refinement Stage, but you can’t even catch a human cultivator, and you let her escape right under the nose of my demon clan.
Tell me, how should I deal with you?"
Jin Jia trembled all over and gritted his teeth.
"I am willing to accept any punishment, and I only ask Your Majesty to give me a chance to atone for my sins!"
The Demon King snorted coldly, raised his hand and waved it, and a stream of demonic energy hit the golden-armored man's chest fiercely.
"Bang!"
Jin Jia spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground.
He struggled to stand up, his face pale, but he didn't dare to complain.
"This blow is a punishment for your incompetence."
The Demon King said coldly, "If you fail again, you won't have to return to the Demon King Palace."
"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Jinjia endured the severe pain and knelt down to kowtow.
The Demon King withdrew his gaze, frowned, and muttered in a low voice.
"That human cultivator was able to forge the bloodline of a celestial demon, transform into a true dragon, and even deceive the golden armor... What methods did she use?"
A demon elder in a black robe stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the human race is cunning and may have used some vicious methods to forcibly steal the power of my demon race.
This matter is of no small importance and must be thoroughly investigated!"
Another elder echoed, “Your Majesty, that human cultivator not only forged the Heavenly Demon Bloodline, but also destroyed the inheritance of the Twelve Demon Gods of my demon race.
If she were to obtain the complete inheritance, the consequences would be disastrous!"
Upon hearing this, a trace of solemnity flashed in the Demon King's eyes.
"The inheritance of the Twelve Demon Gods... cannot be lost."
A young demon general couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, although that human cultivator can forge the bloodline of a celestial demon, she is a human after all, and her bloodline cannot compare to that of our demon race.
Even if she inherits it, she probably won't be able to truly grasp its power."
