Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 101 Clearing Suspicion

Night fell, and in the Thousand Caves of Baishan, the Black Serpent had rested and was ready to shed its skin at any moment.

Wang Teng and Tang Yue stood guard not far from the cave entrance.

Wang Teng sat on a rock, while Tang Yue sat in his lap. It was still a bit chilly at night, and she wasn't dressed warmly enough, so she could only huddle in Wang Teng's arms for warmth, covering herself with his coat.

"Wow, that was fast!"

"This guy gets paid, so he's motivated. The truth is out."

Wang Teng scrolled through his phone, looking at the news. In just one day, Mo Fan had completed the commission.

"Let me see it~"

Tang Yue rummaged through her phone and saw the latest news, which described the origin of the outbreak in Hangzhou.

It turns out the problem was with the blood serum. The blood serum was made using the blood of a diseased rat called the Lingzhao Plague Rat. People who used the blood were infected with the diseased blood, which led to this plague!

"Very good!!!"

Tang Yue happily hugged Wang Teng and kissed him several times, making a ruckus for a while.

Now that the suspicion against Xuan She was cleared, a huge weight was lifted from her heart.

"Should we go back? We've been cleared of suspicion now."

Snapped!

Why did you hit me?

Tang Yue frowned, touched her bottom; the slap had hurt a bit.

"Has Zhu Meng cursed your brain? Going back at this hour? Aren't you afraid the Xuan Snake will be torn apart and stewed?"

"Wake up..."

Wang Teng patted her, feeling that her excessive sense of responsibility had led to an overabundance of justice from working as a judge for so long.

"What's the point of going back now?"

"Are you better at treating illnesses, or at winning arguments with them?"

"Or do you think Zhu Meng ever cared about the truth?"

"Has the mole already been dealt with?"

"Believe it or not, if you take the Xuan Snake back now, Zhu Meng will immediately attack it, and that hidden mole will continue to help. Things won't change at all."

With each word Wang Teng spoke, Tang Yue's expression darkened. After calming down, she felt a wave of fear wash over her, as if the matter was truly far from over.

"I offered Mo Fan a reward of ten million, what do you think it's for?"

"Clearing the Xuan Snake's suspicion is only one thing; the second is that after the information is made public, someone needs to take the blame for this incident."

"There can only be two people to take the blame: one is Zhu Meng, who charged into battle, and the other is the mole. Once we find him, he'll be the one to take the blame."

"We won't go back now. We'll wait until things settle down. We were just escorting the Black Serpent to safety, which means we've completely escaped the conflict."

"Next is the time for the traitor to save himself. Hangzhou is in chaos. The fact that the traitor could target the Xuan Snake means that his cultivation level is at least above the next level."

"In other words, the other party is at least a presiding judge or a member of parliament. In essence, this is a microcosm of a power struggle."

"The Black Serpent is just a side effect. You, a mere high-level judge, shouldn't overestimate yourself. Otherwise, if you get involved, you could end up badly injured or even dead."

"If those guys were quick-witted, they might just pin the blame on you."

"Don't think too highly of human nature. Think about how pathetic you were when Zhu Meng single-handedly intimidated your group earlier today."

"If I don't issue a bounty this time to clear Xuan She's name immediately, all of you will be in an extremely passive situation."

"They might even have to take the blame for the mole and the problematic blood serum. Just think about the consequences. Can the Xuan Snake bear that responsibility? Can you bear it?"

"Who spoke up for you back then?"

"Who knows about the merits of the Black Serpent in protecting Hangzhou? Those who know it have no weight, those with great weight don't know it, there are few who know it, and even more who don't."

"The era of totemism is over. You should also think more about the Xuan Snake. What can harm it is often not a powerful enemy, but a conspiracy."

"Like this incident, it even became a victim of a power struggle, and you were powerless to do anything about it."

Wang Teng comforted Tang Yue, who was shedding tears. His words completely tore off her naive mask, revealing the dark side of her humanity.

Seeing her trembling and crying in his arms, Wang Teng felt relieved, because she understood what he meant.

He began to mentally reconstruct the course of the event. Mo Fan's ability to do it ahead of time was indeed somewhat unexpected, yet upon closer examination, it made perfect sense.

Since no time was wasted, and with his reminder and Lingling taking the lead, it was only natural that the cause was found.

The key was speed; Luo Mian probably didn't even have time to react, let alone stop it. This whole thing was full of loopholes to begin with.

Next, we need to catch the traitor and defend against the Silver Dome Lord's attack.

Without the deterrent power of the Xuan Snake, does Zhu Meng still think he can easily sweep aside the Silver Sky Lord Bird? He's still a long way off.

With him interfering with the return of the Xuan Snake, if the big bird were to become a little more aggressive, it wouldn't be a dream for it to directly charge into the An Realm. This time, countless palace mages and imperial guard mages would die.

The more dead and injured, the bigger the blame will be, so big that even if Tie Zui Zhu Meng knelt down, he couldn't bear it. He would then consider whether to step in.

Now that the fight has begun, it can't end so easily. There's no reason to let someone who's been insulted not fight back.

Fighting with others brings endless joy when you win, but endless suffering when you lose.

He has the cards in his hands, the initiative is in his hands, and he can play however he wants, depending on his mood. He has already gained the right to control the battlefield.

Unless some powerful figure hiding in Hangzhou suddenly appears to deal with the big bird, he has nothing to say.

He is now in an unassailable position in this incident.

After sorting out the process, he felt a sense of relief; the chances of taking the Xuan Snake away this time were very high.

Although it's a bit unfair to Tang Yue, hers is mine too. We're already so close, why bother with this? I'll make it up to her later.

It was past midnight.

Tang Yue had already taken a nap and her mental state had recovered; she felt much more energetic.

"Are you awake?" Wang Teng looked down at her.

"Hmm~"

Tang Yue snuggled lazily in his arms, the warm feeling making her sleep peacefully.

"You've slept well, let's go somewhere else. It's a bit windy here, let's go inside."

Wang Teng got up, supported her, and walked into the cave.

Tang Yue immediately sensed something was wrong, her face flushed, and she naturally wrapped her arms around Wang Teng's neck, clamped her legs around his waist, and clung to him.

……

Western Fortress.

The sky was filled with white demon eagles and the fortress guards who had already started fighting. The two sides began to gather at sunset, and the great battle had begun.

The battle takes place on three levels: on the ground, in mid-air, and high in the sky.

Countless white demon eagle corpses lay on the ground, as did many mages, who slumbered there.

High in the sky, the two judges, Tang Zhong and Li Tian, ​​along with Zhu Meng and the palace guard chief Wu Pingjing, fought against ten commander-level white demon eagles.

As for the Silver Dome Lord, it remained aloof in the center, disdainful of taking action, watching the humans and its subordinates perform in order to please itself.
