President Tang's tough stance exceeded Zhu Meng's expectations.
The other party even brought out their entire family to fight against him.
Despite Zhu Meng's seemingly high-sounding words, he knew that his attempt to eliminate the totem serpent had not been approved by the higher-ups.
He now has a "handle" and wants to act first and ask for permission later.
His intentions were good; he genuinely wanted to eliminate the demons that posed a threat to humanity, and his sense of justice outweighed his personal desires.
However, the Tang family's counterattack hampered his plans, preventing him from continuing to advance the plan to eliminate the totem serpent.
Although the Tang family is not the most prestigious family in the Great Xia Dynasty, how could a family that has existed for thousands of years not have its own profound heritage?
Since the other party has made such a threatening statement, if I act rashly, I will surely end up in a fight to the death.
This goes against his original intention.
Zhu Meng's identity is not simple; he is accompanied by Wu Pingjing, the former chief guard of the imperial palace.
He was about to speak as Zhu Meng approached, when Luo Mian broke the silence.
"Old Tang, how could you joke about the family like that!"
"Councilor Zhu, Old Tang was just acting on impulse and definitely didn't mean to confront you."
"I believe there may be some unknown details about the totem snake. We should treat this matter with more caution and try to find out the facts before taking any action."
"..."
As he spoke, Luo Mian cleverly prioritized finding evidence of the Xuan Snake, a totem associated with humankind, based on facts.
His words were meant to calm things down, but Luo Mian, who knew Zhu Meng's temperament well, knew that Zhu Meng had a fiery temper and was not one to follow the rules.
If another death or large-scale outbreak occurs, the other party will immediately issue a warning.
Just then, someone rushed in through the door; it was a judge in his thirties.
As soon as he entered, he saw everyone staring at him, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
A deputy judge standing nearby gestured to the person who had come in, indicating what the matter was.
Then they heard a message that made everyone solemn.
A widespread plague has broken out in Baizhen, Xihang, a transportation hub town leading to major security fortresses.
The guardians of Anjie had already sealed off Baizhen ahead of time, and everyone entering or leaving Baizhen had to be checked.
The cause of the epidemic is currently unclear.
However, with the number of infections gradually rising and severe cases emerging, Bai Town has officially declared a state of emergency.
Upon hearing this news, everyone present was puzzled as to why the message was only being relayed by staff members below.
They immediately took out their phones to check the information.
They then discovered that the conference room blocked all external signals, so naturally no one could send messages in.
Everyone hurried out of the conference room, their phones immediately bombarded with a deluge of calls and messages.
Without lingering, those with Wind Wings used their Wind Wings to rush to the scene.
Those without wings of wind use magical artifacts to assist in flight.
Alternatively, summon a Skyhawk and its contracted beast to reach White Town as quickly as possible.
Everyone's face was ashen.
They knew that if this matter wasn't handled properly, none of them would be able to leave Xihang safely.
Zhu Meng's previously suppressed urge to slay snakes surged again.
Why wasn't the Totem Serpent revealed before it was released, but now that it's been released yesterday, all sorts of things are happening?
Still insisting it wasn't the work of a demonic snake?
You call it a coincidence?
There aren't that many coincidences in the world!
Could it be that someone is framing the totem snake?
Could there be another culprit behind this incident?
Zhu Meng suppressed his anger; he was now going to Bai Town to inspect the specific situation.
At the same time, he also made arrangements and deployments for Wu Pingjing, who was by his side.
He would spare no effort to slaughter that demon god if there was any connection to the Xuan Snake!
Even if the Tang family threatens to kill themselves, it won't work!
Representative Luo Mian, who was a kilometer away from Zhu Meng, also had a dark expression on his face.
The situation is now somewhat beyond his control.
He had a bad feeling when he heard that a plague had broken out in Baizhen.
Adding to the stress of the recent phone call, he was immediately drenched in sweat.
He had to prove that the plague in White Town was caused by the totem snake, or he would die without a burial place.
...
While the high-ranking officials rushed to White Town, Su Lan was standing on the head of the totem serpent.
In front of him, an alien girl was describing the current situation in White Town and the intelligence they had gathered.
I heard that the plague in White Town is spreading rapidly, with most cases concentrated among the mages and hunters, and there have been serious cases.
Su Lan's expression didn't change much.
Ultimately, it was the greed of certain individuals that caused this major public crisis.
Bloodletting agent, a highly effective healing agent.
This blood agent can forcefully activate the body's hematopoietic function, quickly stop bleeding, replenish blood, instantly reverse hemorrhage shock and near-death anemia, and accelerate the healing of external injuries.
It is the first-line first-aid supplies for saving lives on the battlefield.
With such a highly effective life-saving agent, the cost of producing it is naturally not cheap, and it is an item controlled by the authorities.
Some people, however, are greedy for the profits from blood potions and replace the blood potions that were originally made from pure demon blood with other cheap and lethal demon blood as raw materials.
Those mages would naturally fall ill and become infected after using this blood potion containing a deadly virus.
Not only will it not save lives, but it will also cause them to die in agony.
Therefore, he had already prepared the antidote.
Once enough evidence is gathered, this farce will come to an end.
Meanwhile, Lingling, Tang Yue, Leng Qing, and Apas temporarily formed a "Save the Xuan Snake" team and secretly infiltrated Bai Town to investigate the situation.
They had two objectives this time.
One method is to obtain a sufficient quantity of infected human blood.
The second is to obtain the problematic blood serum stored in White Town.
At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that this batch of blood samples is not switched.
Even if the goods have been switched, we still need to know where they were ultimately shipped to.
The four people who had just arrived in Bai Town looked at the desolate scene around them, and Tang Yue and Leng Qing had indescribable complicated expressions.
This town, which was once the most prosperous town in Xihang, now looks like it's about to set.
Pedestrians on the road were fully armed, covered from head to toe, and avoided anyone who came near, as if they had encountered some kind of prehistoric beast.
After walking through several blocks, only one or two shops were open.
Even when the door is open, it is only half open, allowing people to inquire and purchase from outside, but not to enter.
With Apas's help, the four of them easily extracted enough blood from the ten patients.
Of course, this did not worsen the patients' conditions.
Then bypass the guards at the blood bank, acquire enough blood, and leave quickly.
Next, Leng Qing and Lingling will be responsible for testing the blood sample and will complete the component testing as quickly as possible.
As for Tang Yue, she continued to monitor the situation regarding this batch of blood serum.
Just in case, Apas stayed by Tang Yue's side to protect her.
At this time, the plague in Baizhen entered a new outbreak period.
People were filled with anxiety.
In the temporary command center of White Town, members of the West Hangzhou Magic Association, the Inquisition, and the Guardians once again argued over the matter of the Xuan Snake.
The atmosphere even reached a fever pitch.
