Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan frowned and spoke after thinking for a moment.
"Could it be that her demon identity is fake? She's originally human, but she used some trick to disguise herself as a demon?"
Xuan Ming shook his head, "It's unlikely. She has lived in the Demon King's Palace for so long. If she were human, how could His Majesty the Demon King have been unaware of it?
Unless...she possesses some secret method to conceal her bloodline, so that even His Majesty the Demon King cannot perceive her true identity."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan's eyes flashed with solemnity. "If this is true, then her scheming and methods are probably even more terrifying than we imagined."
Xuan Ming sighed, "We can't go on like this. Meng Wan holds a very high position in the human realm, and we can't touch her. We must inform His Majesty the Demon King about this matter and ask him to make the final decision."
Although Zhu Yan felt somewhat helpless, he also knew that what Xuan Ming said made sense.
Moreover, the situation in the human world is now turbulent, with various forces fighting openly and secretly. This is a good opportunity for the demon clan to take advantage of the situation.
If we can take this opportunity to send troops to attack the human world, we will be able to make up for our mistakes.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yan no longer hesitated.
"What are we waiting for? Let's return to the Heavenly Demon Territory immediately and report this to His Majesty the Demon King.
Just tell His Majesty the Demon King that the inheritance of the twelve demon gods is in Meng Wan's body, and His Majesty will definitely send troops to attack the human world!"
The two men had made up their minds and without further delay, they immediately set off and rushed towards Jie Lake.
Zhu Yan and Xuan Ming traveled quickly all the way, crossed the boundary lake, and finally returned to the Heavenly Demon Territory.
The two did not dare to delay and headed straight for the Demon King's Palace.
The fact that Meng Wan had transformed into the Demon Grandma's second-generation disciple was probably reported to the Demon King by the human race, as well as the news that she had twelve demon gods hidden in her body to pass on her legacy.
The Demon King sat upright on the throne. After listening to the reports of the two, his face instantly turned gloomy.
"What a human being Meng Wan is! How dare she deceive this emperor and secretly hide the inheritance of the Demon God! If this woman is not eliminated, where will the dignity of our demon race be!"
Zhu Yan and Xuan Ming knelt with their heads bowed, not daring to say anything more.
The Demon Emperor's anger had not subsided. He glanced at the two of them coldly and said in a deep voice, "Pass on my order to immediately assemble the army and attack the human world!
This time, we must not only reclaim the Demon God's inheritance, but also make the human race pay the price!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ming quickly offered his advice, "Your Majesty, the situation in the human world is currently turbulent, with various factions fighting endlessly.
We might as well negotiate with the human family alliance in the name of eliminating the demonic cultivators, take the opportunity to occupy part of the territory, and at the same time demand Meng Wan.
This way, we can reduce our losses and achieve our goal legitimately."
The Demon King pondered for a moment, then nodded, "This plan is feasible. Send a message to Venerable Jin Peng, asking him to represent me in negotiations with the Aristocratic Family Alliance."
Tell them that my demon race is willing to help them eliminate the demon cultivators in the Heavenly Demon Academy, but we need to exchange our human territory and Meng Wan for it!"
Zhu Yan and Xuan Ming took the order and left, quickly conveying the Demon King's will to Venerable Jin Peng.
Venerable Jinpeng did not dare to delay and immediately set off for the human world.
At the same time, the Aristocratic Family Alliance was overwhelmed by the rampant evil cultivators.
They had asked the demon tribe for help many times before, but were repeatedly rejected.
Now that they saw Venerable Jin Peng coming in person to negotiate, the top leaders of the alliance were overjoyed.
"Venerable Jinpeng has come from afar. I wonder what advice you have for me?"
Jiang Yu, the leader of the Aristocratic Family Alliance, asked with a bow, his expression revealing a hint of anticipation.
Venerable Jinpeng went straight to the point.
"His Majesty the Demon King of our clan heard that the demonic cultivators in the human world were rampant, so he specially sent me to help.
As long as the nobles are willing to cede some of their territory and hand over Meng Wan to our clan for disposal, our demon clan is willing to help you eliminate the demon cultivators in the Heavenly Demon Academy."
As soon as Venerable Jin Peng finished speaking, a burst of discussion arose among the top leaders of the Aristocratic Family Alliance.
Some people frowned, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the conditions for ceding territory.
"Cede territory? That's too much! How can we easily give up our human territory to the demon race?"
A patriarch of a prominent family slammed the table and stood up, his tone filled with indignation.
Another person echoed, "That's right! And Meng Wan is just a junior. Although he has some talent, why would he cause such a big fight among the demon tribe? I'm afraid there's something else going on."
Upon hearing this, Venerable Jin Peng sneered, glanced at everyone, and said lightly.
"If you are unwilling to cede territory, that is fine. However, the demonic cultivators are rampant right now. If we delay any further, I'm afraid the entire human world will be occupied by the Heavenly Demon Academy.
By then, you won't even be able to hold onto an inch of land, so how can you even talk about territory?"
His words were like a bucket of cold water, pouring on everyone's hearts.
Jiang Yu frowned, and after a moment's silence, he said, "Your Excellency is absolutely right. However, there is one thing I'm unclear on—what is so special about Meng Wan that the nobles attach such importance to her?"
Venerable Jin Peng snorted coldly, with a hint of anger in his tone.
"This woman is so audacious that she dared to pretend to be of the Suzaku bloodline of the demon race, sneak into the Heavenly Demon Realm to deceive the king and others, and even toy with His Majesty the Demon Emperor.
Such behavior is a great insult to our demon clan! If we don't tear her into pieces, where is the dignity of our demon clan?"
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.
Although they knew Meng Wan had just returned from the Heavenly Demon Territory, they hadn't expected her to be so bold as to stir up trouble in the demon clan's territory. "No wonder the demon clan attaches so much importance to her. It turns out this woman has such a powerful ability..."
"If that's the case, then handing her over to the demon race is understandable. However, ceding territory is truly unacceptable."
Venerable Jin Peng's tone slowed down slightly, and he said calmly, "Everyone, don't worry too much. The demon cultivators are now powerful. If we don't join forces, I'm afraid the entire human world will fall into chaos.
Ceding some territory in exchange for our support is far better than being completely taken over by the demonic cultivators."
Jiang Yu pondered for a long time and finally spoke.
"Your Excellency's words make sense. In that case, our Aristocratic Family Alliance is willing to cooperate with the nobles to jointly eradicate the demonic cultivators. As for matters concerning the territory... we can discuss it."
After a heated discussion, the top leaders of the Aristocratic Family Alliance finally reached an agreement to cede one-tenth of the human territory to the demon race.
Although they were unwilling to give up, they also knew that the current situation was critical and that only by cooperating with the demon clan could they have a chance of survival.
"Now that we have reached a consensus, let us sign the agreement and swear an oath between heaven and earth."
Jiang Yu said in a deep voice, his tone firm.
Venerable Jin Peng nodded, "That's very good."
Both parties signed and sealed the agreement, and were bound by the oath of heaven and earth.
As a golden light shot up into the sky, the agreement officially came into effect.
Although the people in the Aristocratic Family Alliance felt a hidden pain in their hearts, they could only sigh secretly and hope that with the help of the demon clan, they could quickly eliminate the evil cultivators and restore peace to the human world.
With the addition of reinforcements from the demon clan, the aristocratic family alliance quickly organized a counterattack, and the originally rampant demon cultivation forces were defeated under the fierce offensive of the two sides.
In just a few months, the demonic strongholds were eliminated one by one, and the Heavenly Demon Academy's sphere of influence was greatly compressed.
Even several holy grandchildren under the Demon Grandma died in the fierce battle.
