Chapter 82 Too Rebellious

……

"If you think I orchestrated this whole thing, then you should resolve this panic. Go report the giant serpent that's causing such a stir to the Magic Court! You can just admit to the people right now that you're supporting such a giant serpent, and see how they react!" Zhu Meng said firmly.

"What evidence do you have to prove that those two corpses were killed by Xuan She?" Tang Yue couldn't help but ask.

Zhu Meng glanced at Tang Yue. "Investigating cases isn't my job. My duty is to eliminate hidden dangers. Now, the Xuan Snake has openly appeared in a human-populated area, causing huge panic and chaos. If Lü Cheng hadn't been there and brought the scene under control in time, who knows how many casualties would have occurred!"

"You were lucky this time, but what about next time?"

"If the Black Serpent suddenly goes berserk, how much destruction would such a colossal creature cause? How many casualties would it result in? Can you bear that responsibility?!"

"The black snake won't hurt anyone!" Tang Yue said angrily.

"It has lived here for thousands of years and has never had any problems!"

"And what about this time?" Zhu Meng asked.

"You were there at the time. Don't you know how much panic the Black Serpent caused? Do you know how many patients are still lying in hospitals, paralyzed by fear of the Black Serpent?"

"It..." Tang Yue was speechless for a moment.

The Black Serpent's actions this time were extremely unusual, something that had never happened before.

"Now, I'm only giving you two days. Either you hand over the totem serpent, or I'll do it myself!" Zhu Meng said firmly.

"You're utterly unreasonable!" the goatee-bearded old man, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise, roared.

"I am a councilor! I possess the highest executive authority granted by the Magic Court and the Pearl Magic Tower! I say it is! It is!" Zhu Meng was unwilling to waste any more words.

"Ahem!"

Lu Cheng coughed twice, stood up, and said, "I am also a councilor of the Magic Court. Does my word carry any weight here?"

Zhu Meng hesitated for a moment, "That depends on what you're saying."

"The totem snake is looking for me," Lü Cheng said.

The conference room fell silent.

The crowd had varying expressions, and all eyes were focused on Lü Cheng.

Zhu Meng narrowed his eyes slightly. "Do you know what you're saying?"

"Don't try to be a hero; this is not something an honorary member of parliament like you can handle!"

"But that's just how it is," Lü Cheng shrugged.

"If you don't believe me, I can call it over again now. Of course, this time, the responsibility is yours, since you're the one who asked me to call it over."

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Meng interrupted, his face darkening.

Lu Cheng's summoning talent was personally certified by Pang Lai!

The Mind System was personally certified by Feng Li!

Summoning and Mind skills are the perfect combination for Beast Taming talents!

Therefore, it's not impossible for Lü Cheng to summon the totem snake now!

……

Because Lü Cheng interrupted and implicated himself in the cause of the Xuan Snake's appearance, Zhu Meng was unable to make a decision for the time being, so the meeting regarding the handling of the Xuan Snake was temporarily suspended.

The people in the conference room gradually dispersed, and soon only Lü Cheng, Tang Zhong, Tang Yue, Hei Yu, and Luo Mian, the mastermind behind the plague, remained in the room.

"Acheng, you..." Tang Yue looked worried.

"Don't worry, it's a small problem," Lu Cheng said.

Even if this matter gets blown up, it won't affect me much.

"Not necessarily," Tang Zhong shook his head.

"The problem now is not only the unrest and panic caused by the Black Serpent, but the most troublesome thing is the plague."

The problem with the Black Serpent can be delayed, but this plague cannot be delayed.

Zhu Meng is now convinced that the totem Xuan Snake caused all of this. Even if it wasn't, he will take this opportunity to completely eliminate this so-called security threat.

Although he didn't know how much trouble Lü Cheng was behind that could make Zhu Meng stop on this matter, he knew it wouldn't last long.

"Tang Yue, you should take the totem out and hide for a while, at least until it gets through its molting period," Tang Zhong said.

The totem snake is not venomous during its molting period, so this plague must have some other cause.

"Then I'll take care of protecting Tang Yue and Totem," Hei Yu said.

"No." Tang Zhong shook his head.

"Totems are very sensitive during their molting period. If a commander-level demon or a high-level human mage appears within a radius of twenty kilometers, it will arouse its hostility. Tang Yue is the only one whose strength exceeds the limit but is not regarded as an enemy by the totem..."

"I don't know either," Lu Cheng said.

Tang Zhong hesitated, then said, "This matter has a huge impact. If something goes wrong, you..."

Although he didn't know what kind of support Lü Cheng had that enabled this young man to obtain the titles of Honorary Chief Judge of the Tribunal and even Honorary Councilor of the Magic Court, if the plague was not handled properly, the impact on Lü Cheng would be enormous.

"I can't just watch her cry, can I?" Lu Cheng said.

Originally, he planned to devour a monarch-level soul before entering the ancient capital, to have some buffer time, and it would be easier to devour the soul of the ancient king later. However, the Xuan Snake was very important to Tang Yue.

Since the Black Serpent couldn't move, it could only wait and see what the Silver Sky Lord would do next.

"Acheng..." Tang Yue's eyes reddened slightly.

"Alright, we're an old married couple, stop crying all the time," Lu Cheng said.

Tang Yue blushed. "Who...who's been married to you for so long?"

"So... newlyweds?"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"A wedding night is fine too."

"..."

……

"What?!"

Having just received the Magic Court's decision on the matter, Zhu Meng was preparing to begin his previous totem plan when he received news that Lü Cheng and Tang Yue had taken the Xuan Snake away.

In an instant, Zhu Meng exploded.

"You brat! I knew he was here to cause me trouble!"

"Does he even know what he's doing?! Can he take responsibility for something this serious?!"

"Contact the Magic Court! Ask Pang Lai if this kid is even capable of handling this!"

Zhu Meng's initial positive impression of Lü Cheng, which had just begun because of the Black Vatican incident, vanished instantly.

"And you too!" Zhu Meng looked at Wu Pingjing, the head of the palace guards.

"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him?"

Wu Pingjing lowered his head. "Councilor, I have been keeping an eye on him personally as you instructed, but I really didn't expect that his spatial abilities... are also high-level."

Lu Cheng even greeted him before teleporting away!

What can he do?

Can he stop teleportation?

"What?" Zhu Meng was taken aback.

Space-based systems have become high-level?

How long has it been?

"Damn it!" Zhu Meng's face grew even uglier.

With his advanced spatial abilities, coupled with the sixth-realm spiritual power that Lü Cheng displayed in the Magic Court, even he couldn't catch up with that kid if he was determined to run away!

Unless there is a space-type super-level mage whose cultivation is above Lü Cheng's, trying to capture that kid is just a pipe dream!

"Contact Pang Lai! Let him handle this!"

……

A magical palace.

"Teacher, that guy's caused trouble again?"

Seeing his teacher's ever-changing expression, Jiang Yu couldn't help but ask.

In his mind, only Lü Cheng had the ability to make his teacher act like that.

"He..." Pang Lai took a deep breath.

"Get ready, I'm going."

They're definitely my biological child! They're absolutely my biological child!

Just like Su Meng!

Is there a problem with this? Is this something that won't work?

I don't believe it! Let me try!

That's incredibly rebellious!

The more you forbid something, the more likely you are to do it!

He's even more wild than when he was young!
