Zhu Meng's voice was not loud, but his attitude remained strong. After only a moment, he understood. In his opinion, Lin Chen's arrival was to support the Tang Clan, or rather, the Black Totem Snake.
But no matter how powerful Lin Chen's background was, he couldn't control the Judgment Association.
What's more, this also involved the great righteousness of humanity. Even if Lin Chen had a powerful backer, he couldn't do anything to him.
Lin Chen was not surprised by Zhu Meng's address to him. Tang Yue had already told him about his information.
At the time, Lin Chen was also a little surprised, but after a careful thought, Lin Chen knew that all of this was Jiang Tianyuan's arrangement.
When establishing Feiniao City, Lin Chen did enjoy the convenience of the power brought by the Jiang family, so he readily accepted this as well.
Seeing Zhu Meng's arrogant demeanor, Lin Chen didn't mind raising a big flag!
Lin Chen smirked disdainfully and said to Zhu Meng, "He's really an idiot!"
As soon as Lin Chen's words fell, the conference hall was silent.
Zhu Meng's expression was somewhat distorted as he stared fiercely at Lin Chen. He, a dignified councilman, was actually cursed by a junior. Did he, Zhu Meng, not care about his reputation?
"Bang..."
"Presumptuous!" Zhu Meng's right hand immediately slammed down on the conference table in front of him, and he said angrily.
However, before Lin Chen could speak, Zhu Meng froze. His distorted angry face suddenly became terrified, and a drop of cold sweat dripped from his forehead at some point.
Lin Chen chuckled and said, "You don't like it when I say you're an idiot. If the Black Totem Snake really wanted to harm people, would it need to use poison? If a Monarch-level demon beast were to casually mess around, I'm afraid the entire Hangzhou would turn into ruins!"
"You!" Zhu Meng didn't know what to say for a moment. Just now, an extremely powerful aura had surged towards him. The oppressive feeling generated by this terrifying aura made it difficult for him to breathe. Only now did he realize that the terrifying aura originated from Lin Chen's shoulder.
Seeing the Black Totem Snake appear on Lin Chen's shoulder, Zhu Meng was at a loss for a moment. That was a living Monarch-level demon beast.
And Lin Chen was not wrong about one thing: the destructive power of Monarch-level demon beasts was immense. With his Super-Tier cultivation, he had no power to fight at all.
Zhu Meng had always regarded the Black Totem Snake as a hidden danger in Hangzhou. He finally seized an opportunity, wanting to eliminate it during its molting period, but now his wishful thinking was probably in vain. If the Black Totem Snake could appear here, there was no need to think about it; it must have already completed its molting.
Zhu Meng's abnormal behavior naturally did not escape the eyes of those with intentions. Everyone in the conference room also gradually noticed the Black Totem Snake on Lin Chen's shoulder.
Luo Mian, who was sitting not far from Zhu Meng, was also worried at this moment. After all, he was the real mastermind behind this conspiracy against the Black Totem Snake!
"Ding-a-ling..."
Just then, Zhu Meng's phone rang, and the tense atmosphere was instantly broken.
Lin Chen stroked the small snake on his shoulder. Instantly, Zhu Meng felt his body relax. He took a deep look at Lin Chen, then answered the phone.
After a while, Zhu Meng hung up the phone, his face extremely ugly. He looked at Lin Chen angrily and said, "My subordinates sent news that hundreds more people in Hangzhou have been infected with the plague. The current situation will probably be completely out of control soon. You still say this has nothing to do with this demon snake?"
Lin Chen sneered. Zhu Meng's conduct was still decent. Even if he had some selfish motives regarding the Black Totem Snake, he was at least a good manager. But why was he so thoughtless regarding the Black Totem Snake? Calling him an idiot was truly accurate.
"Hiss hiss..." Zhu Meng's words displeased the Black Totem Snake. The Black Totem Snake let out an unusual sound while its snake eyes stared intently at Zhu Meng.
Zhu Meng, stared at by the Black Totem Snake's strange eyes, couldn't help but tremble slightly. Luo Mian, on the other hand, looked calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. In that case, I'll let you die knowing!" Lin Chen said coldly.
As soon as Lin Chen's words fell, a human-shaped ice sculpture appeared in front of him.
The sudden appearance of the ice sculpture left everyone in the conference hall somewhat bewildered. Only Tang Zhong and Luo Mian recognized the origin of the ice sculpture.
Da Sheng was, after all, a member of the Tang Clan. Tang Zhong was about to question Lin Chen, but he quickly calmed down. Although Tang Zhong and Lin Chen had different stances and would have conflicts on certain matters, based on Tang Zhong's understanding of Lin Chen, he believed that Lin Chen was not someone who would act without reason.
Luo Mian, on the other hand, looked at the ice sculpture with cold sweat, veins bulging on his face, wanting to eliminate Da Sheng as soon as possible.
Lin Chen waved his hand, and the ice sculpture instantly melted. Just as Da Sheng looked at everyone in confusion, Lin Chen's Mind Element Star Map had already lit up. Da Sheng's pupils constricted, and he froze there.
Lin Chen said, "Da Sheng, tell us all the shady dealings between you and Luo Mian."
As soon as Lin Chen's words fell, Luo Mian stood up from his chair. How could Lin Chen not know Luo Mian's intention to kill to silence?
As soon as Luo Mian stood up, he felt an extremely strong oppressive force envelop his entire body. The terrifying pressure forced Luo Mian to sit back down in his chair.
Without Luo Mian's interference, Da Sheng confessed all his shady dealings with Luo Mian.
Luo Mian had already panicked. At this moment, he sat there numbly, completely at a loss.
After Da Sheng confessed, Lin Chen sneered and said, "Leng Qing has found the source of the plague, and Leng Qing also has an idea for a solution to the plague!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng looked at Lin Chen awkwardly. He never expected the plague to have originated in such a way.
"Hiss hiss..."
Lin Chen stroked the Black Totem Snake on his shoulder again. The Black Totem Snake let out another unusual sound. Its snake body continuously enlarged. In the blink of an eye, the Black Totem Snake's body was three meters thick. The Black Totem Snake swallowed Da Sheng in front of it in one gulp, then attacked Luo Mian.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Luo Mian tried to make a final struggle, but found that his body was tightly bound by an invisible giant hand at some point. No matter how he struggled, he could not move.
In an instant, the Black Totem Snake's gaping maw appeared in front of Luo Mian. Luo Mian exclaimed, "No..."
The next moment, Luo Mian was swallowed by the Black Totem Snake in one gulp. The people in the meeting looked at each other. Luo Mian was a genuine Super Mage, yet he was powerless against the Black Totem Snake. This showed how terrifying the strength of a Monarch-level demon beast was.
Zhu Meng couldn't help but swallow, staring intently at the Black Totem Snake, afraid that he would be the Black Totem Snake's next target.
However, what he didn't expect was that after the Black Totem Snake swallowed Luo Mian, it didn't even look at him.
