Chapter 85: Visitors from the Holy City

……

"Since you know where that kid is, you should set off immediately and bring him and the Totem Black Snake back!"

Zhu Meng quickly assembled the Palace Guard, but Pang Lai stopped them.

"Wait a moment."

"At this point, are you still going to shield that kid?" Zhu Meng said in a deep voice.

"Pang Lai! If the plague continues to spread, will you take the responsibility, or will I?"

"Or will that brat who does whatever comes to his mind take it!"

"Wu Pingjing! You lead the..."

"Zhu Meng!" Pang Lai's face hardened.

"Can you use your brain before you act? I said, they are in the sky!"

"The Totem Black Snake is also in the sky!"

"Isn't that just..." Zhu Meng paused, his expression changing rapidly.

"The Black Snake is also in the sky?"

That giant snake, measured in kilometers, is in the sky?

"Don't tell me that kid lifted the Black Snake into the sky." Zhu Meng looked skeptical.

With the Black Snake's size, could Lv Cheng really bring it up there?

"That's not it." Pang Lai shook his head.

"Then..."

"He built an island in the sky! The Black Snake is on the island!"

"……"

"Are you serious?"

Zhu Meng looked bewildered.

Built an island? An island that could hold the Black Snake?

Isn't this even more exaggerated?

"If you want to move against the Black Snake, I won't stop you, but you had better think clearly about what will happen if you knock that island in the sky down," Pang Lai said.

"If the Black Snake falls, what will happen?"

"Are you trying to destroy this city?"

Although he didn't know how Lv Cheng had managed to get that thing up there, but!

He did not doubt what that kid was capable of doing!

……

"This..."

Following the location provided by Lv Cheng, Pang Lai flew toward the sky with a skeptical Zhu Meng.

Then, upon seeing the massive Floating Island hidden behind the thick clouds, Zhu Meng's expression went completely stiff.

"Is this kid really human?"

Is this something a human could possibly do?

Visually estimating it to be nearly ten kilometers wide, an island this large was already comparable to some small or medium-sized cities!

If this thing were to fall, it wouldn't just destroy Hangzhou City, would it?!

This is a natural disaster!

"Don't get too close, the Black Snake is very sensitive right now." Pang Lai held back Zhu Meng, who still wanted to approach.

"What exactly is he trying to do?" Zhu Meng asked.

"Call him and ask him yourself," Pang Lai said.

"Call him?" Zhu Meng was stunned.

"Will he answer?"

"Have you tried calling?" Pang Lai asked.

"……"

Beep-beep!

"Hello?"

"Lv Cheng, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"What do you mean, what am I doing?"

"This island of yours, what are you trying to do?" Zhu Meng said in a deep voice.

"The Black Snake is too big, so I made a place for it to land," Lv Cheng said.

"It's easy to get surrounded on the ground, so I had no choice but to bring it up to the sky."

"Couldn't you have just taken it further away?" Zhu Meng asked.

"Why would I run?" Lv Cheng asked, puzzled.

"If I ran away with the Black Snake, wouldn't that be fleeing from justice?"

"……" Zhu Meng.

"Are you serious?"

"What else?" Lv Cheng retorted.

"……"

Zhu Meng took a deep breath, "Then can you come down now?"

"Oh."

As soon as the words fell, Lv Cheng on the island instantly appeared before Zhu Meng and the other man.

"What for?"

Zhu Meng's face turned dark, "I won't ask how you got this island up here for now, I just want to ask, how do you plan on getting this thing down?"

Compared to this island, the threat of the Black Snake was not even that significant!

"Why would I need to get it down?" Lv Cheng asked, puzzled.

"Isn't it quite good to let this thing float? You said the Black Snake living on the ground is harmful to humans, so it living in the sky should be fine, right?"

"..."

"I won't kill the Black Snake, can you bring the island down?" Zhu Meng said in a deep voice.

A threat!

This is a damn threat!

Such a massive island, let alone Lv Cheng, even a Super-level Mage, or even a Forbidden Curse Mage, would have no way to keep this thing floating in the sky forever!

This kid is just threatening him!

Using an entire city to threaten him!

"No," Lv Cheng refused.

"First of all, I don't think you have any credibility to speak of. I've seen plenty of people who discard the millstone after the donkey is done, and if I put the island down, I'm afraid you wouldn't even spare me."

"Secondly, this is a Floating Island I went through so much trouble to build; I won't put it down! I absolutely will not!"

"You!" Zhu Meng's face sank.

Lv Cheng raised an eyebrow, "What? Want to make a move?"

"Come on, I'll stand right here and let you hit me!"

"Do you dare to hit me?"

"Cough, cough!" Pang Lai coughed heavily twice and pulled Zhu Meng away.

"Don't be so hot-headed, let's talk this out properly."

If pushed too far, Lv Cheng really would dare to smash the island down!

"A-Cheng, did you find something?" Pang Lai asked.

"The plague has nothing to do with the Black Snake," Lv Cheng said.

"It is man-made."

Zhu Meng snorted coldly, "Going to say I did it again?"

"Not this stubborn blockhead," Lv Cheng took out a Blood Agent.

"I stole this from the blood bank last night; the smell is wrong, it's a fake."

"A fake?" Pang Lai took the Blood Agent.

"How do you know it's a fake?" Zhu Meng asked.

"My Summoned Beast used this stuff back in Bo City; it took a sniff, and the goods aren't right," Lv Cheng said.

"Your Summoned Beast?" Zhu Meng looked suspicious.

A sub-dragon can smell this kind of thing?

"You can take it back and test it to see if what I said is true or false," Lv Cheng said.

"By the way, take the opportunity to have someone raid the blood bank and move all that blood out, otherwise, I'm afraid the evidence will be destroyed."

"Evidence?" Zhu Meng was stunned.

Lv Cheng shrugged, "I'm just suspicious; verifying it isn't my job. I've given you the clues. I'll give you three days. In three days, if you can't produce enough evidence, or if you haven't even found the mastermind behind the scenes, then I'm going to take action directly."

The corner of Zhu Meng's eye twitched.

Such a damn familiar line!

"Who is the mastermind?" Zhu Meng asked.

"Go investigate it yourself. Anyway, this matter isn't important; you'd better solve the plague first," Lv Cheng waved his hand and disappeared from where he stood.

"He..." Zhu Meng's face turned dark.

"Alright, what he said isn't wrong; dealing with the plague is the most important thing right now," Pang Lai said.

"And..."

"Beep beep!"

"Teacher! Something happened!" Jiang Yu's anxious voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

"What is it?"

"People from the Holy City have arrived. They say the suspect who attacked the Holy City a while ago might have a connection to you, and they require you to cooperate with the investigation," Jiang Yu said.

"A suspect?" Pang Lai was stunned.

"What's the situation?"

Holy City? Could it be that the kid secretly wore the Angel Armor outside and was seen by someone?

"It's that kind of dark creature that Lv Cheng summoned before," Jiang Yu said.

"I don't know who leaked it, or perhaps it was the Holy City's spies in the Imperial Capital, but they say the kind of dark creature Lv Cheng summoned is very similar to the one that attacked the Holy City a while ago."

"This type of dark creature similar to Undead is appearing for the first time, so they suspect Lv Cheng has some connection to the person who attacked the Holy City previously and are demanding he cooperate with the investigation."

The attack on the Holy City half a year ago shocked the whole world!

Since the establishment of the Holy City, this was the first time such a thing had happened. Although it didn't cause too many casualties, it was said that the situation in the Holy City at the time was extremely dire!

Half the city had fallen!

If it weren't for the fact that Lv Cheng is an Honorary Councilor of the Magic Palace, these guys from the Holy City would probably have already dragged him away!
