The evil woman cultivates immortality, and the whole clan offers sacrifice to the heaven

However, Meng Wan raised her hand slightly, without even using any of her demonic power, and with just a light press, she pinned the demon to the ground.

The demon struggled frantically, but could not move at all, as if it was pressed down by an invisible mountain and could not move.

Meng Wan's expression was indifferent, and with her other hand she gently tightened the demon's neck silently.

With a "crack", the collarbone was crushed.

The demon's struggle came to an abrupt end, its head rolled to the side, and its breath completely dissipated.

The whole process took just a moment. Meng Wan's movements were smooth and fluid, as if she was just casually pinching an ant to death without even frowning.

The city lord stood aside and witnessed all this. His pupils suddenly contracted and a storm surged in his heart.

Seeing that Meng Wan's cultivation was not high, she deliberately beat the demon in the Void Refinement Stage until it was severely injured. This would not put her in danger and would also allow her to do a favor.

But unexpectedly, Meng Wan dealt with the demon so easily without even making a single unnecessary movement.

Although this demon was seriously injured, it was still a powerful demon in the Void Refining Stage...

"As expected of someone who walked out of the Demon King's Palace..."

The city lord sighed inwardly and had a new understanding of Meng Wan's strength. His original contempt instantly dissipated, and was replaced by a slight fear.

Meng Wan withdrew her hand, turned around and looked at the city lord, her eyebrows slightly raised and a smile in her eyes.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord. However, this demon... is too weak."

Upon hearing this, the city lord was startled and quickly explained with a smile.

"Your Excellency is indeed very powerful. I was inconsiderate and neglected you. Next time, I will definitely find a more suitable opponent for you and will never let you down."

Meng Wan nodded slightly, "Then I'll trouble the city lord."

Seeing that Meng Wan had no intention of pursuing the matter, the city lord secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while at the same time he was also thinking about how to please this nobleman from the Demon King's Palace.

If he could take this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Demon King Palace, his status would surely rise.

"Somebody come!"

The city lord whispered, "Expand the search area and continue to look for lone Void Refining Demons. If you find any news, notify me immediately!"

"Yes!"

The men immediately responded and left.

That afternoon, Meng Wan received news again, saying that a lone demon in the early stage of the Refinement Realm had been discovered.

When she arrived at the scene, she found that the demon had a strong aura and was obviously in its prime.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Meng Wan's eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

Seeing this, the city lord took the initiative to step forward and asked, "Sir, this demon is quite powerful. Does it need our assistance?"

Meng Wan waved her hand, her tone calm but unquestionable.

"No need, you all retreat, I can deal with it alone."

Upon hearing this, the city lord showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

Although she had seen Meng Wan's strength, this demon was only at the initial stage of refining emptiness and was unharmed. Her strength should not be underestimated.

If anything happened to Meng Wan, she couldn't bear the responsibility.

"My lord, this demon is extremely vicious. Let me wait aside to provide support..."

The city lord spoke tentatively.

Meng Wan turned her head and looked at her, her eyes were calm but carried an invisible pressure.

"The city lord doesn't trust my strength?"

The city lord's heart trembled, and he quickly apologized with a smile, "No, no, since you are sure, then we will withdraw."

After saying that, she waved her hand, signaling all her men to retreat to a distance.

She stood aside, staring closely at the situation on the field, praying silently in her heart that nothing would happen to Meng Wan.

Meng Wan saw all this out of the corner of her eye, but didn't care. Her gaze fell on the demon in front of her.

The demon was tall and thin, covered with fiery red scales, with ferocious eyes and exuding a violent and aggressive aura.

It lowered its head to look at Meng Wan and sneered.

Then he suddenly jumped up, raised his huge claws, and slapped Meng Wan hard.

If this attack were to be carried out, even cultivators of the same level would find it difficult to resist.

What's more, Meng Wan's cultivation level is only at the level of transformation into a spirit.

Faced with this fierce attack, Meng Wan did not resist it head-on. Instead, she dodged and narrowly avoided the attack from the demon.

The demon's claws brushed past Meng Wan's side and fell, and with a loud bang, a huge deep pit was smashed into the ground.

Meng Wan took advantage of the situation and took a few steps back to steady herself.

Upon seeing this, the demon opened his mouth wide, revealing a row of sharp white fangs, and sneered.

"With only the cultivation level of a Spiritual Transformation, you dare to face me alone? You really overestimate your own abilities!"

Seeing that she remained silent, the demon flashed and pounced on her again.

Meng Wan barely dodged several attacks, but eventually she ran out of strength and was hit on the shoulder by the demon's claw. She flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"puff--"

Meng Wan spat out a mouthful of blood and her face turned pale.

The demon approached with a sinister smile, "Why, you can't hold on any longer? I've only just started warming up."

Meng Wan gritted her teeth, forced herself to stand up, and condensed a large ball of Vermillion Bird divine fire, sweeping towards the demon.

The demon's expression changed slightly. He didn't dare to take it head-on and dodged quickly.

After a stick of incense, the demon essence in Meng Wan's body was blown dry, and only a ball the size of an egg remained of the Vermillion Bird Fire.

"Ha, is that all you can do?"

The demon laughed loudly, with a fierce look in his eyes, and swooped down towards Meng Wan.

Seeing the demon's sharp claws cutting off Meng Wan's head, the city lord finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"My dear, be careful!"

The city lord suddenly raised his hand and waved it, and a spiritual barrier was instantly deployed, barely blocking the attack of the demon.

The demon's claws slammed hard on the barrier, and the barrier shattered, but the city lord also took the opportunity to pull Meng Wan back a few steps, increasing the distance between him and the demon.

"City Lord..."

Meng Wan was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly, "Thank you for saving me."

The city lord waved his hand and stared at the demon with vigilance, "Your Excellency, there is no need to be polite. This demon is quite powerful. Kill it first."

When the demon heard this, a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes.

Then he grinned, turned suddenly, and rushed away into the distance.

"No! It's trying to escape!"

The city lord's face changed and he quickly waved his hand to signal his men to give chase.

However, the demon was extremely fast and disappeared from everyone's sight in just a few breaths.

His men chased for a long time but finally returned empty-handed.

"City Lord, that demon...ran away."

The subordinate lowered his head, with a hint of fear in his tone.

The city lord's face was gloomy, but he soon regained his composure.

She turned to look at Meng Wan and asked with concern, "My dear, are you okay?"

Meng Wan shook her head and forced a smile.

"I'm fine, just a little exhausted. Thank you for saving my life, City Lord. If you hadn't helped me in time, I would have been injured by that demon."

The city lord waved his hands quickly and said respectfully, "Your Excellency is too kind. This is what I should do. I just didn't expect this demon to be so cunning and actually took the opportunity to escape."

Meng Wan gave a bitter smile and said in a self-deprecating tone, "It's my lack of strength that caused the city lord to worry."
