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

Chapter 329 Testing
Meng Wan followed the steward into the City Lord's Mansion.

The house was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, the banquet was filled with delicious delicacies, and the exotic and colorful spiritual fruits emitted an enticing aroma under the candlelight.

The city lord had already been waiting in the hall. He was tall and had a faint aura of a dragon about him.

The powerful pressure unique to the Void Refinement Stage made the surrounding air seem to solidify a little.

"Your presence truly brings honor to my humble abode."

The city lord came forward with a smile, but there was a barely perceptible scrutiny in his eyes.

Meng Wan smiled slightly, her expression indifferent, "Thank you, City Lord. I am honored to be invited by you and will come to the banquet."

After taking a seat, the city lord personally poured wine for Meng Wan.

"Your bloodline is noble, so you must have an extraordinary origin. Could it be that you are the descendant of some ancient great demon?"

Meng Wan gently picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, and spoke slowly.

"I am just a wanderer with no fixed residence. As for my bloodline, it is not worth mentioning."

The city lord frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with this answer.

“Your Excellency is too modest. Since you can trigger the resonance of the ancient bronze mirror, the purity of your bloodline is probably rare in the world.

If a demon race like you, who has noble blood, can be used by one side, it will surely accomplish great things."

Meng Wan understood what the city lord meant, but remained calm.

"I have always liked freedom and have never thought of establishing a career. This time I passed by your city and only stayed for a short while. I will continue my journey soon."

There was a flash of displeasure in the city lord's eyes, but he soon returned to smiling and said meaningfully.

“My friend is free and easy-going, and is truly a role model for our generation.

I just wonder if you have encountered any danger along the way. The world is full of demons and monsters, and it is not peaceful. "

Meng Wan put down the wine glass and gently ran her fingertips across the rim of the glass, leaving a fine purple-gold lightning mark.

She raised her eyes to look at the city lord, with lightning flashing in her eyes.

"The city lord is right. The world is indeed not peaceful. However, whether it is dangerous or not often depends on where you stand."

Upon hearing this, the city lord's eyes flashed, and the wine glass in his hand paused slightly, causing ripples to appear in the wine.

"Oh? What do you mean, my friend?"

Meng Wan raised the corners of her lips slightly.

"The city lord is in charge of a place and holds great power, so he can see farther than me. But he is standing too high, so the wind will be stronger."

The city lord's expression froze, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"My friend, I have a different opinion on what you said."

Meng Wan did not comment. She raised her hand and picked up a spiritual fruit. The fruit emitted a faint spiritual light at her fingertips.

"This 'Purple Sky Spiritual Fruit' grows in thunder and only ripens once every thousand years.

If ordinary cultivators pick them rashly, they will be struck by thunder.

But if someone understands the way of thunder, they can easily pick it off and use it for their own benefit. "

The city lord's eyes darkened, and the wine glass in his hand cracked silently.

"Young friend, you seem to have a good understanding of the Way of Thunder?"

Meng Wan chuckled, put the spiritual fruit into her mouth and savored it carefully.

"I know a thing or two. But compared to the might of the city lord, my little trick is really not worth mentioning."

A hint of coldness flashed in the city lord's eyes, and the aura around him fluctuated slightly, as if a dragon was looming behind him.

"My friend, you are too modest. How can a bloodline that can trigger the resonance of the ancient bronze mirror be ordinary?

I wonder if you would like to spar with me so that I can experience the power of thunder?"

Meng Wan put down her chopsticks, her eyes calm as water. "I shouldn't have refused the city lord's kindness.

But I don't like fighting, and today is the city lord's banquet. If I spoil all the delicacies on the table, wouldn't that be a waste of the city lord's kindness? "

Upon hearing this, the city lord suddenly burst into laughter, but there was a hint of sharpness in his laughter.

"My friend is really interesting! However, since you have come to my City Lord's Mansion, you can't return empty-handed, right?"

Before he finished speaking, a green light suddenly flew out from the city lord's sleeve and headed straight for Meng Wan's face.

It was a dragon-shaped jade pendant, containing the full force of a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage, as if a dragon was baring its fangs and claws, trying to devour Meng Wan.

A cold light flashed in Meng Wan's eyes, and with a light flick of her fingertips, a purple-gold lightning instantly hit the green light.

The dragon-shaped jade pendant hummed softly and flew back into the city lord's sleeve.

"What does the city lord mean?"

Meng Wan's tone remained calm, but the aura around him suddenly became fierce.

The city lord slowly stood up, and the shadow of the dragon around him became more and more solid.

"Since you are unwilling to be of any use to me, I will have no choice but to test your abilities myself."

Meng Wan also stood up, the dragon wing pattern on her back faintly emerged, and purple-gold lightning flowed around her body.

"Since the city lord insists on doing this, I will respectfully obey your orders."

The air between the two of them seemed to freeze, and the delicacies on the banquet shattered and turned into dust under the pressure.

The entire hall began to tremble slightly, as if it could not withstand this terrifying force.

In this tense atmosphere, the city lord took the first step.

He waved his sleeves, and a phantom of a dragon rose into the air from behind him, roaring to the sky, and rushed towards Meng Wan with tremendous spiritual power.

Meng Wan's expression remained unchanged. She lightly tapped her fingertips, and a purple-gold lightning burst out from her fingertips, transforming into a lightning snake, heading towards the phantom of the dragon.

The lightning snake and the dragon collided in mid-air, bursting out with dazzling light, and the entire hall was shaken.

There was a hint of surprise in the city lord's eyes. Although he did not use his full strength in this attack, it was enough to make an ordinary cultivator in the God Transformation Stage panic.

However, Meng Wan easily resolved his attack without even moving an inch.

“Good trick!”

The city lord let out a low roar, formed seals with his hands, and spiritual energy surged around his body. A more solid dragon shadow condensed above his head.

The dragon's eyes were as sharp as lightning, its claws were as sharp as hooks, and it pounced on Meng Wan again with the power to destroy the world.

Meng Wan remained calm. She raised her hands slightly, and lightning flashed between her palms, forming a thunder barrier that blocked the phantom of the dragon in front of her.

The phantom of the dragon hit the barrier, making a deafening roar, but failed to shake the barrier at all.

The city lord was shocked. He had used 50% of his strength in this attack, but still failed to find out Meng Wan's true strength.

What frightened him even more was that he felt a faint sense of oppression from the opponent's thunder power.

What is the origin of this woman?

The city lord pondered in his heart but remained expressionless.

He put away his attack, laughed, and said, "My friend, you are indeed very powerful. Today's competition has really opened my eyes."

Meng Wan smiled slightly, put away the thunder barrier, and said calmly, "You are too kind, City Lord. My skills are not worth mentioning."

A complex look flashed across the city lord's eyes, and then he smiled.

"Why should you be so modest, young friend? With your strength, you are more than capable of roaming freely in this world.

I wonder if you are interested in taking on an important position in my city? I am willing to treat you as the deputy city lord.

Hearing this, Meng Wan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the city lord with a smile.

The city lord was actually willing to give her the position of deputy city lord. This city lord is really generous.
