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

Chapter 372 Leaving the City Again
The city lord quickly comforted her, "My lady, don't blame yourself. After all, the demon is at the Refining Void stage. It's rare that you can fight it for so long with your Spiritualization stage."

Meng Wan didn't respond and still looked uninterested.

Upon seeing this, the city lord did not dare to say much. He just whispered to his men to increase their vigilance, and at the same time secretly sent people to continue searching for the traces of the demon.

If we let the demon run away today, I'm afraid it will seek revenge in the future.

The city lord pondered for a moment, then turned to Meng Wan and warned, "Your Excellency should try not to leave the city these days to avoid any unexpected events."

Meng Wan was somewhat dissatisfied when she heard this.

"Don't worry, City Lord. I was just careless for a moment and let the demon escape.

Although my cultivation is not high, I still have a few handy Taoist tools I brought from the Demon King's Palace. If that demon dares to come, I will make it come and never return."

After hearing this, the city lord felt helpless.

Meng Wan has an extraordinary identity, so it is not surprising that she has treasures from the Demon King's Palace.

But the demon was only at the Nascent Soul stage after all, and was very cunning. It might not be foolproof to defeat him with just a few Taoist weapons.

However, seeing that Meng Wan didn't seem to take her words to heart, she didn't say anything more.

"It's good that you know what's going on. But that demon is cunning, so you need to be more careful."

After instructing Meng Wan, the city lord turned around and gave instructions to the two trusted subordinates behind him.

"Until we catch that demon, you two will follow the noble lady in secret and make sure she is safe."

The two subordinates responded respectfully, "Yes, City Lord, don't worry."

The city lord breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Meng Wan again. Seeing that she did not object to his arrangement, he finally felt relieved.

She cupped her hands and said, "If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave. If you need anything, please send someone to notify me."

Meng Wan nodded slightly, "City Lord, take care."

After this incident, Meng Wan stayed quietly in the City Lord's Mansion for a few days. Every day, apart from practicing, she would read books and was very well behaved.

The little male demon who had been teased by her before was also left aside.

"Humph, you say you're not afraid, but in reality you're hiding in the city and dare not come out?"

Chi Ying was very disdainful of Meng Wan's behavior.

However, a few days later, Meng Wan seemed to be unable to sit still.

That day, she neither practiced nor read, but walked straight out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Seeing this, the two guards hurriedly followed, "Sir, where are you going?"

Meng Wan didn't even turn around, and said unhappily, "I'm bored staying in the mansion, let's go out for a walk."

The two guards looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy, but they didn't dare to stop him, so they had to follow closely.

The three of them walked out of the city and headed towards the forest outside the city.

After walking for about half an hour, suddenly, a low roar came from the forest.

Then, several dark shadows rushed out from all directions and surrounded the three people.

The leader was the demon in the Void Refinement Stage from before. It looked Meng Wan and the others up and down and grinned.

"I didn't expect that we would meet again."

The two guards' faces changed drastically, and they quickly stood in front of Meng Wan and whispered.

"Hurry up, my lord! Let's hold them back!"

Meng Wan looked around and found that the demon had brought a lot of helpers this time. All of them had a strong aura and were obviously well prepared.

"Be careful."

After saying that, she turned around and rushed back in the direction she came from.

The demon laughed when he saw this.

"Run? Do you think you can escape this time?" It waved its hand, and several demons behind it immediately pounced on the two guards, while it itself flashed and chased after Meng Wan.

The two guards fought hard, but they were soon at a disadvantage due to the large number of people on the other side.

They were anxious, but unable to escape, and could only watch the demon chase Meng Wan.

Meng Wan was galloping all the way, not slow, but the demon was even faster.

It chased after him while grinning, "Run, why don't you run anymore? Weren't you quite arrogant just now?"

The demon chased after him relentlessly, his eyes full of amusement.

It was not in a hurry to catch Meng Wan, but seemed to be enjoying the hunting game.

Seeing that the demon was getting closer and closer, Meng Wan knew that if she continued like this, she would be caught up sooner or later.

She suddenly stopped, turned around and faced the demon, with a crystal clear jade ring in her hand.

The jade ring was engraved with intricate demonic characters, emitting a faint aura of terror.

"Huh, you finally stopped running?"

The demon sneered, with more teasing in his eyes, "What, are you planning to make a last-ditch effort?"

Meng Wan ignored its taunting and threw the jade ring into the air, saying in a low voice, "Go!"

The jade ring instantly turned into a stream of light and shot towards the monster.

The demon was very disdainful when he saw this, and raised his hand to smash the jade ring.

However, just as its claws were about to touch the jade ring, the jade ring suddenly burst out with a dazzling green light.

Countless sharp spiritual blades burst out from the jade ring and swept towards the demon.

The demon's expression changed slightly, and its body flashed, avoiding most of the spiritual blades, but a few still cut through its scales, leaving bloody marks.

The demon looked down at the wound on his body, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, "I underestimated you!"

Meng Wan felt a sinking feeling in her heart when she saw this.

This jade ring is a top-grade Taoist weapon given to her by Venerable Jin Peng. It is extremely powerful, but it is obviously not enough to deal with this demon in the Nascent Soul Stage.

As time goes by, the demon energy in her body will become less and less. If she continues to struggle, it will be very dangerous.

Meng Wan quickly took out a pill from her arms and swallowed it, barely recovering some of her demon energy. Then she turned around and continued to run away without hesitation.

Seeing that she wanted to escape again, the demon sneered, "Still want to run? You can't escape today!"

It flashed and chased after him again, a little faster than before.

At the same time, Chi Ying and others hiding in the dark saw all of this.

"This little princess of the Suzaku clan doesn't have much ability, but she is quite capable of causing trouble."

Chi Ying frowned, becoming increasingly dissatisfied with Meng Wan, "You act recklessly without considering the consequences. Do you really think you have nine lives?"

He originally thought that Meng Wan must have something to rely on if she dared to leave the city alone, but he didn't expect that she would dare to fight against the demon in the Void Refinement Stage head-on with just a Taoist weapon.

If it weren't for the powerful jade ring, she would have died at the hands of that demon long ago.

But at this moment, the situation on the field changed again.

The demon suddenly accelerated and grabbed Meng Wan's back with one claw.

Meng Wan barely dodged to the side, but a deep cut was still left on her shoulder, and the blood instantly dyed her clothes red.

"Hahaha, run, why don't you run anymore?"

The demon grinned grimly, his eyes full of pride.

Meng Wan endured the pain and fought the demon, but was suppressed so badly that her injuries increased.

Seeing that if this continued, Meng Wan would die here, Chi Ying was about to take action, but Bai Shuang took the lead and appeared, blocking Meng Wan.

She glanced at Meng Wan indifferently, then raised her hand and swung it, and a sharp sword energy slashed towards the demon.
