Chapter 82: Heavy Rebellious Streak

……

"If you all think this matter was orchestrated by me, then you come and resolve this panic. You go and report to the Magic Palace about the giant snake that is currently causing such an uproar! You are more than welcome to admit to the public right now that you are supporting such a giant snake, and see how they react!" Zhu Meng said with a hardline attitude.

"What evidence do you have to prove that those two corpses were the work of the Black Snake?" Tang Yue could not help but speak up.

Zhu Meng glanced at Tang Yue, "Investigating cases is not my job. My duty is to eradicate hidden dangers. Now the Black Snake has openly appeared in a human living area and caused huge panic and chaos. If Lv Cheng hadn't been there at the time and controlled the scene in time, who knows how many casualties it would have caused!"

"This time we were lucky, but what about next time?"

"If the Black Snake suddenly goes crazy, what kind of destruction would such a behemoth cause? How many casualties would it bring? Can you bear this responsibility?!"

"The Black Snake does not hurt people!" Tang Yue said angrily.

"It has lived here for over a thousand years, and there has never been a problem!"

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

"You were at the scene at the time, don't you know how much panic the Black Snake caused? Do you know how many patients are still lying in the hospital scared silly by the Black Snake?"

"It..." Tang Yue was momentarily speechless.

This time, the Black Snake's actions were too abnormal; nothing like this had ever happened before.

"Now, I will only give you two days. Either you hand over the Totem Black Snake, or I will do it myself!" Zhu Meng said firmly.

"You are simply unreasonable!" the old man with the goat beard, who hadn't been able to get a word in, said angrily.

"I am a Councilor! I possess the highest executive power granted by the Magic Palace and the Pearl Magic Tower! If I say it is, then it is!" Zhu Meng did not want to waste any more breath.

"Ahem!"

Lv Cheng coughed lightly and stood up, "I am also a Magic Palace Councilor. Does my word count here?"

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

"The Totem Black Snake is here for me," Lv Cheng said.

The conference hall suddenly went quiet.

The crowd had different expressions, and they all focused their gazes on Lv Cheng.

Zhu Meng narrowed his eyes, "Do you know what you are saying?"

"Don't try to be a hero; this matter is not something you, an Honorary Councilor, can shoulder!"

"But that is the truth," Lv Cheng shrugged.

"If you don't believe me, I can call it over right now. Of course, this time, the responsibility will be yours; after all, it was you who asked me to call it over."

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Meng interrupted with a dark expression.

Lv Cheng's Summoning Element talent was personally certified by Pang Lai!

His Mind Element was personally certified by Feng Li!

Summoning Element plus Mind Element, the best combination for beast-taming talent!

Therefore, it was not impossible for Lv Cheng to summon the Totem Black Snake right now!

……

Due to Lv Cheng's interruption, which tied the cause of the Black Snake's appearance to himself, Zhu Meng was unable to make a decision for the time being, so the meeting regarding the handling of the Black Snake was temporarily halted.

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

"A-Cheng, you..." Tang Yue's face showed worry.

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

"Even if this matter is escalated, it won't have any impact on me."

"Not necessarily," Tang Zhong shook his head.

"The problem now is not just the chaos and panic caused by the Black Snake; the most troublesome thing is the plague."

The issue of the Black Snake can be delayed, but this plague cannot be dragged out.

Zhu Meng has now concluded that the Totem Black Snake caused all of this, and even if it didn't, he wants to take this opportunity to completely eliminate the so-called safety hazard that is the Black Snake.

Although he didn't know how much trouble Lv Cheng had behind him that could make Zhu Meng pause in this matter, it wouldn't hold him back for many days.

"Tang Yue, you should take the Totem and go hide for a while, at least until it gets through the Molting Period," Tang Zhong said.

The Totem Black Snake has no toxicity during the Molting Period, so this plague must have another cause.

"Then I will be responsible for protecting Tang Yue and the Totem," Hei Yu said.

"No," Tang Zhong shook his head.

"The Totem is very sensitive during the Molting Period. Once a Commander-level Demon or a human High-level Mage appears within a radius of twenty kilometers, it will provoke its hostility. Tang Yue is the only one whose strength exceeds the limit but will not be regarded as an enemy by the Totem..."

"I won't either," Lv Cheng said.

Tang Zhong hesitated to speak, "The impact of this matter is huge. If something goes wrong, you..."

Although he didn't know what kind of support Lv Cheng had behind him that allowed this young man to obtain the status of Honorary Chief Judge of the Judgment Court, or even Honorary Councilor of the Magic Palace, if this plague was not resolved well, the impact on Lv Cheng would be far from ordinary.

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

Originally, he had planned to devour a Monarch-level Soul before the Ancient Capital to have a bit of a buffer, which would make devouring the Ancient King's soul easier later, but the Black Snake was very important to Tang Yue.

The Black Snake could not be touched, so naturally, he could only look toward the Silver Sky Monarch later.

"A-Cheng..." Tang Yue's eyes were slightly red.

"Alright, we're an old married couple, don't cry at the drop of a hat," Lv Cheng said.

Tang Yue's face flushed red, "Who... who is an old married couple with you?"

"Then... newlyweds?"

"The wedding night would work too."

"..."

……

"What?!"

Having received the Magic Palace's handling of this matter, Zhu Meng had just prepared to begin the previous Totem plan when he received news that Lv Cheng and Tang Yue had taken the Black Snake away.

In an instant, Zhu Meng exploded.

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

"Does he know what he is doing?! Such a big matter, can he bear the responsibility?!"

"Contact the Magic Palace! Ask Pang Lai if he can actually control this kid!"

The slightly favorable impression Zhu Meng had just developed of Lv Cheng due to the Black Vatican incident vanished in an instant.

"And you!" Zhu Meng looked at the Palace Guard Captain Wu Pingjing.

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

Wu Pingjing lowered his head, "Councilor, I have followed your instructions and personally kept an eye on him, but I truly did not expect that his Space Element... was also High-level."

Lv Cheng even greeted him before activating Teleportation and disappearing!

What could he do?

Could he even stop Teleportation?

"What?" Zhu Meng was stunned.

Space Element is also High-level?

How long has it even been?

"Damn it!" Zhu Meng's expression became increasingly ugly.

A High-level Space Element, plus the Sixth Realm Spiritual Power that Lv Cheng displayed at the Magic Palace—if that kid was determined to run, even he couldn't catch up!

Unless there was a Super-level Mage of the Space Element with cultivation above Lv Cheng's, trying to catch that kid was pure dreaming!

"Contact Pang Lai! Let him handle it!"

Magic Palace.

"Teacher, did that guy cause trouble again?"

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

In his understanding, only Lv Cheng had the ability to make his teacher look like this.

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

"Prepare yourself, I am going to make a trip."

His own flesh and blood! This is absolutely his own flesh and blood!

Same behavior as Su Meng!

This matter has a problem? This matter won't work?

I don't believe it! Wait until I try it!

Too rebellious!

The more you tell him not to do something, the more he does it!

Even more reckless than he was when he was young!
