Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation.

Chapter 169: Run away with the snake

Tang Yue was very familiar with Lin Chen's strength. Not to mention a super-class mage, even a forbidden spell mage would not get any advantage in front of Lin Chen. But the problem now involved the Trial Council.

No matter what, the Tribunal is an organization established by China. Tang Yue is afraid that Lin Chen will get carried away and go to war with the Tribunal directly. Not only will it fail to solve any problems, but Lin Chen will also have no place to stay in China.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. The big guy is in the molting period now. Let's take him out of Hangzhou first and come back after he finishes molting! By the way, Yueyue, do you have the totem bead?"

The totem bead is a container for totem beasts, and it has the same function as Mo Fan's little loach. However, the black snake does not like to stay in the totem bead. It prefers to stay outside freely.

"Well, it's here with me!" Tang Yue said, and took out a bead from the spiritual world.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Okay, let's get the Black Snake out of Hangzhou first. As for the plague, I already have new clues. This incident was definitely not caused by the Black Snake!"

"Ah? Do you have a way to prove our innocence?" Tang Yue asked excitedly upon hearing this.

Tang Yue had been having a very painful time these days. The matter of the black snake was a concern for her. Now that she finally saw hope from Lin Chen's words, how could she not be excited?

Lin Chen said: "I have asked someone to investigate the specific situation. As for the process in between, I will tell you slowly later. The most urgent task is to get the black snake out of Hangzhou City. As long as it sheds its skin, the stubborn people in the Judgment Council will not be able to do anything to it!"

"Oh... okay!" Tang Yue was so concerned that she was confused. After hearing what Lin Chen said, she finally calmed down.

The two soon came to the lake where the black snake was, and Tang Yue shouted to the lake: "Big guy!"

As Tang Yue's voice rang out, the originally clear bottom of the West Lake turned dark, and a huge blue-black snake head poked out from the bottom of the lake.

The huge head is inlaid with snake eyes that are bigger than lanterns. They flicker and are even scary. Just the eyes of the black snake are scary big. You can imagine how big the body of the black snake is.

Lin Chen reached out and touched the tip of the black snake's nose, and the black snake closed its eyes as if it was enjoying it.

"It's so strange that it's still so kind to you!" Tang Yue said puzzledly when she saw this.

Lin Chen smiled. He himself didn't know the reason. He didn't know why the black snake had a good impression of him. Logically speaking, a black snake in the molting period should be very sensitive and have a bad temper. It is impossible for people to approach it, let alone touch it.

The black snake did not feel any aversion when faced with Lin Chen's touch. Instead, it seemed to be enjoying it very much.

"Everyone, someone wants to harm you now. You should hide in the totem bead first. I will take you away from Hangzhou. We will come back after you have shed your skin!" Tang Yue said softly.

As soon as Tang Yue finished speaking, the black snake opened its eyes, and its huge body turned into a puff of smoke and drilled into the totem bead.

"Hmm?" Lin Chen's perception was quite sharp. A figure was hiding stealthily by the courtyard wall in the distance, secretly watching what Lin Chen and Tang Yue were doing.

With a thought, Lin Chen's star map lit up instantly, and an invisible sword flew straight towards the opponent.

"Pfft..."

Tang Yue frowned slightly. Before she could figure out what was going on, she was brought to the other party by Lin Chen. She saw a man fainted on the ground. "Dasheng..." Tang Yue murmured.

Lin Chen glanced at Tang Yue and asked, "Do you know him?"

Tang Yue nodded and said, "He is one of my clansmen, his name is Dasheng. What happened to him?"

Lin Chen said: "He was hiding here and spying on us just now. He looked sneaky and it was obvious that he was not a good person!"

Tang Yue frowned and asked, "Do you suspect him?"

Lin Chen nodded and said, "That's right, outsiders can't possibly know about the black snake shedding its skin, only a traitor among your own people!"

The star map under Lin Chen's feet lit up again, and an extremely cold air emanated from his body. In an instant, the man on the ground was wrapped in a thick layer of ice and then disappeared on the spot.

"Lin Chen, don't hurt Dasheng before you investigate it clearly!" Tang Yue looked at Lin Chen and said. Although he didn't believe that Dasheng betrayed the black snake, Lin Chen was right. Only the people inside the Tang family knew that the black snake shed its skin. Dasheng was also staring at them furtively, which was even more suspicious. Compared with Dasheng, Tang Yue of course chose to believe Lin Chen unconditionally! But he didn't want to wrongly accuse his own people, so as not to disappoint them!

Lin Chen said: "Don't worry! By the way, where is it safer for us to take Xuan Snake?"

Tang Yue thought for a moment and asked, "There is a place outside the city with mountains and ridges, which is very suitable for the black snake to survive the molting period. What do you think?"

Lin Chen said: "I think we should go to Asuka City!"

"Feiniao City?" Tang Yue said, with a hint of confusion on her charming face.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Feiniao City is my territory. I sent people to develop it a long time ago! It's close to the sea, so why don't you just stay there and never go back to Hangzhou!"

Lin Chen also had his own selfish motives. Naturally, since they disliked Xuan Snake so much, they might as well just let Xuan Snake go. Feiniao City was their territory. No matter what, Xuan Snake was also a monarch-level demon. With Xuan Snake around, Feiniao City would have more defensive power.

Hearing this, Tang Yue looked depressed. She just wanted the black snake to go outside to spend the molting period, and had never thought of letting it leave Hangzhou completely.

Just as Tang Yue was thinking about how to reject Lin Chen, Lin Chen's voice rang out again!

"Yueyue, don't you understand a lot of things? It's obvious that someone wants to take advantage of this incident to get rid of Xuanshe. Instead of that, we might as well make a clean break with Hangzhou. Feiniao City is already under my control, which is equivalent to our own territory. When we go there, we don't have to worry about people with ulterior motives threatening Xuanshe!"

Tang Yue pondered for a moment and said, "No, if everyone leaves, what will happen to the people of Hangzhou in the future? What should we do if we encounter a crisis in the future?"

Lin Chen frowned slightly. He didn't expect Tang Yue to refuse so straightforwardly. Lin Chen thought about it carefully and found that he could not convince Tang Yue at all. Tang Yue's thoughts were already deeply rooted, but he still wanted to make a final effort.

"Yueyue, you naturally don't need to worry about these problems. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. The people in the Trial Council are so powerful, let them solve it themselves. I am not a savior, I just want to protect the people I care about!" Lin Chen looked at Tang Yue and said seriously.
