West Lake.
Even after nightfall, the lakeside was packed with a dense crowd—most of them High-Tier mages—all gathered for the massive skyscraper serpent in the lake.
That skyscraper serpent was precisely the Totem Black Serpent!
"Take it down!"
Looking at the Black Serpent in the lake, Zhu ng shouted.
"Activate the Thunder Ring Punishnt Array—we must not give it any chance to escape!" Luo Mian commanded loudly as well.
With their orders, the surrounding mages rapidly arranged themselves into formation.
"What?!"
Tangyue looked at Zhu ng and Luo Mian in complete disbelief—they were actually working together!
Mo Fan was likewise astonished—everything was far beyond his expectations.
In front of such big shots, his strength was simply insignificant.
"Thunder Punishnt Ring, activate!" Luo Mian bellowed again.
The next mont, a surge of violent lightning elents gathered over West Lake, followed by dazzling purple lightning.
In an instant, an incomparably resplendent Star Palace unveiled itself.
Imdiately after, nine heavenly halberds ford from lightning appeared in the sky.
Each halberd was condensed from countless purple lightning bolts—their length and thickness like colossal pillars supporting the heavens.
The nine Thunder God Halberds descended one after another around the Black Serpent, forming a Nonagon Star Pillar Array. Terrifying chains of lightning crackled around the halberds.
In the next instant, the Black Serpent was directly imprisoned within this lightning cage.
The Black Serpent ramd the Punishnt Array in fury, but the flaying thunder of the bindings caused it imnse pain—its roar powerful enough to shake an entire city.
This Nine-Ring Prohibition was activated by a magic array, far more powerful than a Super Mage casting alone.
Even so, it could only imprison the Black Serpent during its molting phase.
If the Black Serpent were in peak condition, this lightning punishnt array wouldn't even be able to break through its defenses.
"Even in its molting phase, it's still so tenacious. Truly a security threat." Zhu ng sneered.
"That's why we must capture it in one fell swoop—if it gets past molting, it'll be troubleso." Luo Mian said urgently.
"Mm, you're right."
Zhu ng nodded and was about to make a move personally when a tall woman hurried over.
"Councilman Zhu ng, please wait a mont." Leng Qing called urgently.
Zhu ng paused slightly, not turning his head. "If you've co to persuade to stop, you might as well save your breath. I will slay this demon serpent today."
Leng Qing did not doubt Zhu ng's resolve and quickly said, "We've discovered the true cause of the plague—it isn't the Black Serpent!"
Hearing this, Luo Mian's heart skipped a beat.
Could the Blood Serum have been discovered?!
If they really found out, even dying ten thousand tis wouldn't be enough!
Zhu ng frowned. Though half doubtful, he still halted the spell he was preparing.
Seeing Zhu ng's hesitation, Luo Mian imdiately said, "Councilman Zhu ng, opportunity waits for no one. Right now we should eradicate this threat first!"
Zhu ng ignored Luo Mian and instead looked toward Leng Qing. "You say the plague source isn't this Black Serpent—then what is it? Do you have definitive proof?"
Zhu ng had long seen the Black Serpent as a security hazard, but without this plague he wouldn't have had a reason to take action.
Leng Qing took a deep breath, handed so test docunts to Zhu ng, and said solemnly:
"These are test results from a batch of Blood Serum in Baizhen—it contains infected blood from Rending-Claw Plague Rats. It looks no different from normal serum, but it's the real culprit behind this plague."
"Blood Serum?!"
Zhu ng was shocked—soone actually dared tamper with Blood Serum? That was sothing the military relied on to save lives!
But Zhu ng did not just trust Leng Qing's words. He quickly verified the authenticity of the data.
Once he confird it was real, a raging fire surged in Zhu ng's heart.
"What enormous audacity—to dare carry out such an inhuman act right under my nose!"
Seeing the furious Zhu ng, Luo Mian instantly grew panicked and uneasy. With Zhu ng's personality, he would definitely pursue this to the end.
At that mont, a Court guard ran over and delivered news that the western fortress had been invaded by the White Magic Hawk Legion.
Zhu ng's expression shifted dramatically—why was everything happening all at once?
"The Rending-Claw Plague Rat is the White Magic Hawk's favorite food. They're launching a massive assault on the western fortress precisely because of the infected." Zhou Haoyu, who had been standing behind Leng Qing, spoke up.
"Zhou Haoyu, why are you here?" Zhu ng asked, puzzled.
As a Councilman of the Magic Court, Zhu ng naturally had so impression of Zhou Haoyu, this chief disciple.
[Activation condition: Defeat Zhu ng head-on.]
"Councilman Zhu ng, it was he who discovered the diseased blood inside the Blood Serum." Leng Qing added from the side.
Zhu ng was dumbfounded—was Zhou Haoyu really this capable?
Even more capable than him, a councilman?
It was already impressive enough that he was so talented—yet he had managed to uncover the plauge's origin in such a short ti. No wonder the Chief wanted him as a disciple!
"Just good luck." Zhou Haoyu said calmly.
"Then have you found a solution?" Zhu ng asked anxiously.
"According to my investigation, Eagle Red Grass is effective against this plague." Zhou Haoyu replied.
"Eagle Red Grass?" Zhu ng looked puzzled and continued, "Where can this Eagle Red Grass be found?"
"In the Xiling Range." Zhou Haoyu said indifferently.
"Xiling? That's Silver Gaint Eagle's territory—that's practically suicide." Luo Mian suddenly interjected.
Zhu ng seed to sense sothing and shot a glance at the slightly abnormal Luo Mian.
Zhou Haoyu gave Luo Mian a aningful smile.
That smile made Luo Mian suddenly uneasy—had this brat really found sothing?
Zhou Haoyu took out the evidence he had already prepared. It recorded Luo Mian's collusion with Deputy Inquisitor Wang Yi.
After carefully reviewing it, Zhu ng's expression changed dramatically and he imdiately grabbed Luo Mian by the throat, bellowing in fury, "You bastard—how dare you commit such heartless deeds! I ought to tear you to pieces right now!"
What angered Zhu ng most of all was that this man had used him as a pawn.
After subduing Luo Mian, Zhu ng suppressed the fire in his heart and looked to Zhou Haoyu. "Do you have any way to obtain the Eagle Red Grass?"
According to Zhou Haoyu, as long as they found the Eagle Red Grass, the White Magic Hawk Legion attacking the western fortress would retreat and everything would be resolved.
"I have my ways, but could you dismiss the Lightning Punishnt Array first?" Zhou Haoyu pointed toward West Lake.
Zhu ng hesitated for a mont, then instructed the Court guards to deactivate the punishnt array.
The corner of Zhou Haoyu's mouth lifted, and his gaze shifted toward Tangyue by the lakeside.
