"Slay the snake! We must slay the snake!!!"
Zhu Meng stared intently at Tang Zhong in front of him, showing no sign of backing down.
Tang Zhong, not to be outdone, stood in front of Zhu Meng and confronted him head-on.
Previously, Tang Zhong was simply a player who would immediately engage in team fights.
Tang Zhong is now truly enraged.
If the plague in White Town is truly attributed to the Black Serpent, then the Black Serpent will surely be killed.
Moreover, this is currently the most vulnerable molting period for the Black Serpent.
"If you dare to come, you will never return!"
As Tang Zhong's calm and unwavering words fell, the entire command post was instantly filled with murderous intent.
Zhu Meng looked at Tang Zhong for a moment, then turned and walked out of the temporary command center.
"Palace monks, listen to my command! Immediately dispatch men to surround the Tang family's territory. I'm going to slay the snake today. Let's see who dares to stop me."
As Zhu Meng recklessly uttered his words, the former palace monks who had been following him acted swiftly and left Bai Town in close proximity to him.
Tang Zhong, in the command post, watched Zhu Meng leave and immediately issued the highest order to his family.
Without delay, he led all the Tang family members away from Bai Town.
The sudden escalation of the battle left everyone present stunned.
The mage commander, who had originally been thinking about discussing the follow-up treatment plan for the plague victims, frowned deeply as he looked at the two forces that had gone berserk.
He had just learned the source of the conflict between Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong, which was simply a dispute over the totem, the Black Serpent.
As the supreme commander guarding the western fortress of Xihang, he stayed here for five or six years.
He also knew that in this bustling human settlement lived a supreme monarch-level totem beast.
Not to mention the past five or six years of peace, even in the twenty years that have been recorded before, there have been basically no incidents.
The totem snake had just appeared in the downtown area not long ago, without causing any casualties.
However, the very next day, someone claimed to have found a hunter mage who had clearly died from poisoning.
Even White Town inexplicably fell into a major crisis of plague transmission.
The fact that the totem snake is the ancestor of venomous creatures and poses a threat to humans led to the conclusion that the other party was the culprit of this incident.
He absolutely disagrees.
If this incident was truly caused by the totem serpent, why would they use a toxin that requires enduring prolonged suffering and pain?
The totem serpent itself is so venomous that even a high-level mage would die instantly upon contact with it.
Why choose this slow-moving plague when there are faster ways to exponentially increase the death toll?
The totem serpent is not a mindless demon; its intelligence is no less than that of a human.
Commander Wei had a feeling that a conspiracy was brewing.
He looked at the middle-aged man beside him.
"Judge Li Tian, I don't care what grudges or grievances you have, or whether they have been brewing for a long time."
"The number of plague patients in Baizhen is increasing every hour, and the number of severe cases has increased to ten!"
"Moreover, most of the patients are Dharma Masters, and I must be responsible for their safety."
"If your grudges delay treatment, leading to the spread of the plague and deaths, I will report directly to Chief Hua Jun."
After saying that, Commander Wei strode out of the temporary command post and headed towards the quarantine area.
After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Judge Li Tian led the remaining people to the Tang family's territory without stopping.
He absolutely cannot allow a conflict to break out between Zhu Meng and the Tang family.
Otherwise, if even one person dies, everyone in Xihang will be sent to the Western Regions to do land reclamation work.
Judge Li Tian cursed both sides in his heart.
Just before he was about to leave, he saw Councilor Luo Mian rushing towards him from the opposite direction.
The other side was not at the temporary command post, but they must have received the message and are on their way.
However, why didn't Representative Luo Mian come from the direction of the quarantine zone?
He just said he was going to check out the situation in the quarantine area.
And that direction...
Li Tian's expression remained unchanged, but his good habits from years of being a member of the Tribunal made him realize that something was wrong.
Something seems off about this time of year; there's a high chance there's something big going on!
He secretly gave a hand signal to his most loyal subordinate, and then beckoned Luo Mian to go to the Tang family's territory together.
Apart from Li Tian and his subordinates, no one else noticed Li Tian's subtle actions throughout the entire process.
When they arrived at the Tang family's territory, Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong's forces were in a standoff.
Zhu Meng's side has dozens of high-level mages and seven super-level mages.
Tang Zhong's side also had seven Super Rank members and only about twenty High Rank members.
"As a member of parliament posing a strategic threat, I hereby declare: Get out of the way immediately, and this is the last warning!"
As he spoke, a dazzling purple star palace appeared above Zhu Meng's head, its immense size illuminating the gloom brought by the setting sun.
Lightning carrying an aura of destruction gathered in the sky, forming dark clouds, and a deafening roar of thunder rolled in.
Tang Zhong ignored Zhu Meng's warning.
He stood at the very front of the Tang family's group, his imposing presence undiminished.
Similarly, above Tang Zhong, an orange-red star palace illuminating the evening glow stirred the fires of heaven and earth, and the raging flames outlined a gate leading to a fiery hell.
Once the gates of fire are opened, the human world will witness a devastating explosion of flames.
The two of them actually unleashed super-level magic with a simple wave of their hands!
Lightning-type super-tier magic [Lightning Ring Punishment]!
Fire-type super-tier magic: [Gate of Inferno]!
Upon witnessing this scene, Judge Li Tian and the others widened their eyes instantly, their faces contorted with rage!
"You're all insane! You're absolutely insane! This is an urban area. If you unleash any super-level magic, I guarantee none of you will leave the Inquisition's prison alive!"
The Great Xia Magic Association has a rule that casting super-level magic in towns during peacetime is a capital offense.
Luo Mian's face was filled with terror at this moment.
If Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong really fight, then the matter of the plague in Bai Town will definitely be investigated by someone of a higher rank.
The source of the plague could not be found in Xihang in a short time, but the Great Xia was full of talented people. Several professors of virology or scholars who were very knowledgeable about the habits of demons could come from Shanghai and Beijing at any time.
His use of the blood of the Plague Rat as a substitute for the pure blood of the demons to create a blood serum will surely be discovered.
When they discovered that the culprit did not come from the totem serpent, but from him, he and his family had no chance of survival.
Therefore, he is now more anxious than Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong.
But now that Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong have condensed a super-level magical star palace, they are in a difficult situation.
Unlike high-level magic, super-level magic cannot automatically dissipate once it is condensed and not released.
The magical power contained in super-level magic far exceeds that of high-level magic, so it's not something they can simply cancel at will!
Moreover, not only can they not retreat, but two super-level lightning and fire magic spells have begun to automatically accumulate energy and are about to be released!
Everyone sensed the destructive aura that the super-level magic was about to unleash in the sky. Li Tian and the others exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and could only retreat quickly.
They were unable to stop the release of those two super-level spells.
The only thing to do is to minimize the shockwave of the magic from the outside.
Suddenly, someone noticed that the magic that was about to be released was actually contained within two spatial spheres, suppressing all the leaking elemental magic power.
The power unique to the laws of space spread out, making it almost impossible for those present to move.
