Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

The trial at Lingyin Temple, inside the meeting room.

News of the West Fortress reached them immediately, and the judges and members of parliament at the conference table remained solemn and silent.

No one expected the situation to become so serious, whether it was the sudden plague or the White Eagle Legion's unprovoked large-scale attack on Hangzhou.

"The White Demon Eagle is probably the enemy the military least wants to face. The Sky Eagle System is not only paralyzed, but has become a hidden danger to the entire fortress. Fortunately, the chief beast tamer issued a kill order immediately, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Judge Li Tian, ​​the presiding judge in Hangzhou, sighed and said in a somber tone.

"We are now beset by internal and external troubles... Mr. Lu, have you developed a medicine to resist the plague?"

Zhu Meng shook his head helplessly, turned to look at Mr. Lu, and asked anxiously.

"Alas, we have the medicine, but the medicine we developed using the blood of the Totem Serpent only has a resistant effect and cannot completely cure the disease. If we want to develop an antidote, we may need to obtain the bile of the Totem Serpent or something else."

Mr. Lu replied, his gaze seemingly glancing at Tang Yue on the other side.

Tang Zhong frowned, turned around and glanced at Tang Yue, who was being watched by two palace guards, and said to her.

"Yueyue, you need to go to Baishan as soon as possible and get its bile from the Totem Black Serpent."

Zhu Meng slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and roared angrily.

"Tang Zhong, since the blood of the Totem Serpent can be used to develop an antidote, then this plague must be its doing. Don't you know how serious the situation is? How much time are you going to waste on your so-called ancient traditions, and how many people will you kill with your pedantry and ignorance?!"

Tang Zhong was speechless in response to these words and closed his eyes.

Zhu Meng stepped out of his seat and angrily approached Tang Yue.

Tang Zhong hurriedly stood up, thinking that he was going to vent his anger on his niece.

However, Zhu Meng simply stood there, gazing at Tang Yue.

After a long while, he suddenly lowered his head, instantly shedding his lofty and authoritative demeanor and completely lowering his posture, becoming more like a pleader.

“I understand your desire to protect us, but Hangzhou is now facing a huge crisis…”

Zhu Meng's eyes were bloodshot, proving that he hadn't slept a wink for days, and his eyes were filled with exhaustion.

"The White Eagle Legion's attack will be a fierce battle. If we don't resolve this plague within a day, the entire city of Hangzhou will be littered with corpses, so..."

He lowered his head even further, practically bending at a ninety-degree angle towards Tang Yue, and spoke sincerely.

"I beg you, I beg you to summon back the Totem Serpent now. I promise you, if a way to save it is found, I will never kill it."

Upon seeing the scene before her, Tang Yue took several steps back, looking at Zhu Meng in disbelief.

After a short while, she came to her senses and glanced at Tang Zhong not far away.

Tang Zhong frowned and nodded helplessly.

How could he not care about Hangzhou? How could he want to be the sinner? Since Zhu Meng was willing to compromise and spare the life of the totem serpent, he would not hesitate any longer.

"Ok, I……"

Seeing that her uncle had nodded, and Zhu Meng's attitude was very sincere, Tang Yue could no longer refuse and nodded.

Just as she was about to agree, a loud voice rang out in the meeting room, interrupting her.

"Wait a moment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned and turned to look at the speaker.

Mo Xie pushed aside the palace guards watching over him, walked to Tang Yue's side, looked at Zhu Meng who was in a daze, and revealed a playful smile, saying.

“Congressman Zhu Meng, I never expected that someone like you would actually bow down and admit your mistakes to others. It’s unbelievable.”

Tang Zhong was slightly taken aback when he saw Mo Xie suddenly jump out, uttering words tinged with sarcasm. He quickly called out, "Little Xie, what are you doing? Get back at once!"

Tang Yue, standing to the side, looked at Mo Xie in shock, quickly grasped his large, well-defined hand, and whispered something.

"Xiao Xie, what's wrong with you? Stop talking."

Seeing that something was wrong, Leng Qing quickly stood up from her seat, her long legs encased in black stockings and black high heels striding over to Mo Xie and grabbing his arm, anxiously reminding him.

“Xiao Xie, I know you’re not afraid of Zhu Meng, but the situation is different now. You can’t provoke him here.”

"Good, good, good!"

Zhu Meng straightened up, bent over, breathing heavily, clenching his fists, and staring intently at Mo Xie, as if he wanted to skin him alive.

Instantly, a powerful pressure emanated from within, engulfing the small conference room. Cracks appeared in the walls, and the glass shattered. The aura of a super-level mage filled the room.

Fortunately, the people in the conference room were quite powerful, mostly high-level and super-level mages. If it were a mid-level mage, they would have been overwhelmed long ago.

At the very center of the oppressive aura, Mo Xie appeared completely unaffected, with a calm and composed expression and a slight smile on his lips, seemingly unaffected by the oppressive force.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Meng's eyes flashed with surprise, but his face remained furious as he pointed at Mo Xie's nose and said.

"Kid, you said before that you wanted to give me a chance to make amends, and now I'm giving you one. I advise you not to be ungrateful... Guards, take this guy who talked back to the councilor away!"

As soon as she finished speaking, several palace guards stepped forward and reached out to grab Mo Xie's hands.

But at that moment, Mo Xie raised an eyebrow, a smile curving his lips, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Your Excellency, do you really think you'll let the Totem Serpent go after what you just said?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng's angry expression froze, his pupils contracted, and he immediately raised his hand to signal the palace guards to stop. He looked at the smiling Mo Xie with a meaningful gaze and said in an icy tone.

"Kid, what do you mean by that? Do you think I, Zhu Meng, am the kind of person who goes back on his word?"

Mo Xie quietly took the two beautiful women's delicate hands in his hands. Seeing their slightly shy expressions, he smiled at them and gently squeezed their hands.

Then, he stepped forward, looked directly into Zhu Meng's complicated eyes, and said.

"Of course I don't doubt Councilor Zhu Meng's character, but the situation is special now. If... if any of you have malicious intentions and want to take this opportunity to attack the Totem Serpent, wouldn't we be at a great loss?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng trembled, his expression froze, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes as he stared at the young man in disbelief.

Tang Zhong frowned, his previous anxious expression disappearing, and instead he thoughtfully looked at Zhu Meng.

Tang Yue and Leng Qing clearly noticed this as well. Although they didn't quite believe that a councilor would lie about this, they still became wary.

At the same time, Luo Mian, who was sitting at the conference table, was stunned, and his hands under the table clenched into fists.

This kid...could it be that he's sensed something?
He had previously felt that Mo Xie's existence was an obstacle and might threaten the plan to exterminate the Totem Serpent, but he didn't expect it to interrupt the plan at the crucial moment.

His aged eyes were filled with a chilling gloom, carrying a hint of hidden killing intent as he stared intently at Mo Xie.

Kid, I wasn't planning on doing anything to you before, but now that you've jumped out on your own initiative, don't blame me for being impolite. In order to keep my secrets from being exposed, I have no choice but to sacrifice you!
"Hmph, with me, Zhu Meng, here, how could such a thing possibly happen... So tell me, what do you plan to do?"

Fearing that his plan might be exposed, Zhu Meng immediately distanced himself from the situation and asked a question in return.

"What should we do... three days."

"What did you say?"

Faced with Zhu Meng's astonishment and shock, Mo Xie held up three fingers, smiled confidently, and said.

"Give me three days, and I will reveal the truth to you and resolve the plague!" (End of Chapter)
