After Meng Wan's figure disappeared, Venerable Jin Peng finally arrived.
He had just robbed the Suzaku tribe's mineral vein from the south, and rushed here without stopping after receiving the news, but he was still a step too late.
The city lord and the elite soldiers in the city died.
Baishuang, Qingfeng, Xuansha and Chiying are all dead.
Even the nearby demon nest was completely slaughtered, leaving no one alive.
And the culprit behind all this is Meng Wan.
"Meng Wan...after breaking through the Void Refinement Stage, is she really that powerful?!"
Venerable Jin Peng gritted his teeth and growled, his eyes full of disbelief.
He did not dare to delay and immediately reported the matter to the Demon King.
In the Demon King's Palace, the Demon King couldn't help but sneer after listening to the report from Venerable Jin Peng.
"What a great Meng Wan, what a great Suzaku clan!"
The Demon King's voice was low and cold, his tone full of murderous intent.
"They actually dared to send a demon to infiltrate my Demon Imperial Palace and wantonly slaughter my demon people! Do they really think that my Demon Imperial Palace is deserted?"
The Demon King ordered coldly, his tone resolute, "Pass the order down, attack the Suzaku tribe immediately! I want to see what else they have to say!"
Venerable Jin Peng clenched the communication order in his hand, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
At the same time, within the Suzaku clan.
Clan leader Zhu Yan was sitting in the main hall, his face looking terribly gloomy.
He had just learned that the Demon King Palace had sent people to steal their mineral veins in the south, and he couldn't help but be furious.
"The Demon Emperor Palace...this is simply too much!"
Zhu Yan gritted his teeth and growled, his tone filled with anger.
However, before he could react, a member of the tribe hurried into the hall and reported with a pale face.
"Chief, this is bad! News has come from the Demon King Palace that Meng Wan is a demon, and she even massacred an entire city!"
"What?!"
Zhu Yan stood up suddenly, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief, "Meng Wan is a demon? How is this possible?!"
The tribesman lowered his head, a hint of fear in his tone.
"The Demon Emperor Palace has used this as an excuse to attack our Suzaku clan. They say, they say, that our Suzaku clan deliberately sent the demons into the Demon Emperor Palace with ulterior motives!"
Zhu Yan's face turned pale in an instant. He knew that if this matter was not handled properly, the Suzaku clan would face a catastrophe.
"Immediately gather the elders of the clan to discuss countermeasures!"
Zhu Yan gritted his teeth and gave the order, his tone full of solemnity.
However, before the elders arrived, he changed his mind.
"Forget it. This is a serious matter. I'd better go to the Demon Emperor's Palace in person and talk it over with His Majesty the Demon Emperor."
In the Demon King's Palace, the Demon King looked coldly at Zhu Yan who was kneeling below.
"Chief Zhu Yan, do you have anything to say?"
Zhu Yan saluted the Demon King, his tone filled with helplessness and bitterness.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report. Meng Wan...she is not my daughter at all."
Upon hearing this, the Demon King frowned suddenly, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
"What? She's not your daughter? That's ridiculous! Do you know what you're talking about?"
Zhu Yan gave a bitter smile, his tone more helpless.
"Your Majesty, this is a long story. Meng Wan's identity was actually forced upon me by Xuanming Venerable of the Xuanwu Clan.
He claimed that Meng Wan had Suzaku blood in her body and insisted that my Suzaku clan recognize her as a princess. I... I really couldn't refuse."
The Demon King's expression instantly turned gloomy, and his tone was filled with a chilling coldness.
"Xuan Ming? Why would he do this?"
Zhu Yan shook his head. "Your Majesty, I don't know why he insisted on doing this. But I have already informed Xuan Ming, and he is on his way. Your Majesty will know the truth soon."
The Demon King looked at Zhu Yan coldly, "Clan Leader Zhu Yan, you better not lie to me. Otherwise... you should be aware of the consequences."
Zhu Yan quickly lowered his head, his tone filled with fear. "Your Majesty, please understand. Everything I say is true. I wouldn't dare lie!"
A few days later, the figure of Venerable Xuanming appeared outside the Demon King's Palace.
He strode into the hall, his eyes swept over Zhu Yan, and then saluted the Demon King.
"Your Majesty, please forgive Xuanming for being late."
The Demon King looked at him coldly, with a hint of questioning in his tone.
"Xuan Ming, Clan Leader Zhu Yan said that Meng Wan is not his daughter, but that you forced him to acknowledge her. Do you have any explanation for this?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ming said calmly, "Your Majesty, what Clan Leader Zhu Yan said is true. Meng Wan is indeed not his daughter."
The Demon King frowned even more deeply, "Oh? Then why did you force Zhu Yan to recognize her as a princess?"
Xuan Ming sighed, "Your Majesty, this is a long story. Meng Wan does have Suzaku bloodline, but her true identity... is not from the Suzaku clan."
The reason I forced Zhu Yan to recognize her as my princess was to retrieve a sacred object of the Xuanwu clan that was stolen by the Suzaku clan."
"The sacred object of the Xuanwu clan?"
The Demon King repeated, his eyes cold and gloomy.
Xuan Ming's gaze swept over Zhu Yan, and he said calmly, "I forced Zhu Yan to recognize Meng Wan as his princess so that I could use this as leverage to force the Suzaku Clan to return the Xuan Ming Pearl."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan's expression suddenly turned unhappy.
"Xuan Ming, just for an external object, you actually did something worse than me recognizing your daughter. You are really going too far!"
"Am I overdoing it?"
Xuan Ming sneered, his tone full of sarcasm: "Chief Zhu Yan, do you want me to help you recall how long you have been occupying the sacred object of my Xuanwu clan?
To put it bluntly, if your Suzaku clan hadn't been occupying my things and refusing to let go, how could I have forced you to acknowledge Meng Wan as my 'daughter'?"
“That’s enough!”
The Demon King looked at the two of them coldly, with a hint of impatience in his eyes.
