"Calm down!" Tang Zhong said calmly. "We don't have any concrete evidence right now; these are just guesses!"

Also, Councilor Zhu Meng, if you want to promote the elimination of hidden dangers, I recommend a target to you!

I heard that a fox demon, a rabbit demon, and a lizard demon escaped from Lingyin Temple and are now wantonly collecting men's essence in Hangcheng..."

"If you need evidence, our Lingyin Temple Trial Committee can provide it to you!"

"snort!"

Having been rebuffed, Zhu Meng retorted firmly, "Let's stick to the facts, don't change the subject!"

Are foxes, rabbits, and lizards that escaped from Lingyin Temple, which is guarded by Buddhist holy monks (who use forbidden spells), something you can just catch at will?

Moreover, the fact that they were able to escape but still stayed in Hangzhou speaks volumes!

"........."

"Most importantly, during its molting period, the Sky Snake only secretes a fluid that allows the old skin to shed, and it is non-toxic during this time."

"Therefore, someone must have taken advantage of the situation to frame the Xuan Snake with two mysterious corpses," Tang Zhong said with absolute certainty.

"You think it's not poisonous just because you say so?" Zhu Meng couldn't believe that the Xuan Snake, known as the ancestor of all poisons, was actually not poisonous.

Moreover, during the molting period, without a strong physique, the toxins should be even stronger, right?

"I can provide you with saliva samples from the molting period of the black snake and its previous venom, so you can make a comparison!"

By the way, compare it with that deadly snake venom, the plague toxin!

"Ha! I demand that someone be sent to collect the sample personally, otherwise how will I know if you're just trying to fool me?" Zhu Meng took the sample but didn't give up.

"........."

"Councilor Zhu Meng, Judge Tang... Ladies and gentlemen, the test results are in!"

The snake saliva provided by Judge Tang during the molting period is indeed non-toxic, not at all!

The other snake venom, however, was extremely potent; a single drop could easily kill 100 high-level mages, and in different ways at that, showing no signs of having been preserved for thirty or forty years!

"The DNA and Yuan Power in these two samples share the same origin!"

"As for comparing it with the plague toxin, the two do not come from the same source!"

However, in terms of relevance, the former can be considered the superior toxin of the latter...

I am only providing this analysis on behalf of our analysis department and am not adding any subjective opinions..."

"Look!" Zhu Meng exclaimed triumphantly, "High-grade toxin?! Isn't that just diluted black snake venom?!"

"Simple-minded and all brawn and no brains!" Tang Zhong gradually got angry. "Don't you have one too? We're not from the same source!"

And you also said that the Black Serpent is the ancestor of all poisons..."

.........

The meeting continued until the moon rose over the stars, and most of the time it was just a war of words between Tang Zhong, the local and guardian faction, and Zhu Meng, the outsider and massacre faction!

However, the number of attendees kept increasing, and the small conference room was packed to capacity!

There weren't many super-level mages, just five more than usual; the rest were all high-level mages with calm and composed auras.

These are just representatives who have access to information and are qualified.

Even Mo Fan was brought along by Tang Yue, managing to catch the last train.

"You seem to really dislike him?" Mo Fan continued to ask.

Tang Yue didn't hide anything and told Mo Fan the whole story.

It turns out that the Tribunal had always known about the existence of the Totem Sky Serpent, and the Hangzhou government had tacitly approved of the ancient traditions of the Totem Clan. However, an entire faction within the Magic Court, led by the Tribunal member Zhu Meng, strongly opposed it.

The Zhu Meng faction has always advocated the theory of hidden dangers in the Magic Association's trial council, which means that anything that may pose a threat to the city, or is about to pose a threat to people, is guilty and must be eliminated in time.

The matter of the West Lake totem has long been regarded as a top-level hidden danger by the Zhu Meng faction.

They kept a close eye on the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon at all times and repeatedly proposed strategies to the Supreme Court to eliminate urban hazards.

To put it bluntly, this snake absolutely cannot stay in the city.

Who knows when this guy will go berserk and become bloodthirsty? This giant snake, which lives in the city, could cause immeasurable disaster to HZ City at any time.

In fact, even Mo Fan initially felt that it was too dangerous for such a huge snake to appear in the bustling city.

If it weren't for Tang Yue's explanation of totem inheritance, which led him to become a totem guardian, he might have also leaned towards Zhu Meng's strategy of eliminating hidden dangers.

Zhu Meng's proposal received support from many members of parliament and participants, and the public vote was overwhelmingly successful, with people having been planning to criticize it for many years.

However, some older generations believe that totems were originally a kind of magical civilization in ancient China.

Furthermore, the Sky Serpent has not harmed any citizens so far, and unless the Hangzhou government issues an expulsion order, there is no reason to drive away the Sky Serpent that inhabits West Lake.

In short, and to sum it all up, this matter doesn't seem quite so pure!

A year of hunter missions and S.H.I.E.L.D. missions weren't for nothing. Although Mo Fan didn't understand the shady dealings involved, he could clearly sense that this matter involved factions!

trouble!

"So this Zhu Meng is your god's greatest enemy." Mo Fan glanced at the bearded man and said in a low voice.

"Yes, as soon as he discovered there were casualties, he immediately came to interrogate us... it's as if he'd been waiting for a long time," Tang Yue said.

The Sky Serpent is non-venomous during its molting period, but two people died from its venom. Mo Fan didn't think Tang Yue would tell such an easily verifiable lie.

It seems that someone is indeed deliberately causing trouble for the Sky Serpent.

Looking at the news and online discussions, what was about to be a quiet affair suddenly became a source of panic again because of the deaths and injuries.

Many citizens have demanded a reasonable explanation from the government and have begun to denounce the government for allegedly concealing information.

"So, you think he did it?" Mo Fan glanced at the judge named Zhu Meng and asked in a low voice.

"It must be him!" Tang Yue said with absolute certainty.

The Sky Serpent is a thorn in Zhu Meng's side and a thorn in his flesh in his hidden danger strategy. Its existence is a blatant slap in the face to this congressman who has gained great prestige through the hidden danger strategy!

........

"Please calm down, please calm down, best wishes to the councilor!"

"You know the Sky Serpent's abilities. Going to cause it trouble with such murderous intent will only bring bigger problems. Everything needs to be resolved gradually," an elderly judge said with a smile.

"Stop saying all that useless stuff. This time, don't even think about protecting it!" Zhu Meng said firmly.

"Why should we protect them?!"

The totem snake has been in this city for countless years; this is its natural habitat!

Hangzhou even developed under the protection of the Black Serpent!

"I truly don't understand what right we have to expel it!" an elder, clearly aligned with the totem's guardianship, exclaimed indignantly. "Guests expelling the host? Humph!"

"Elder, your thinking is dangerous!" Zhu Meng, who believed in the supremacy of humanity, said coldly.

"To you, that is your totem!"

But to me, and to the 1.3 billion people of China, those are demons!

"Our only concern is whether this monster will cause chaos!" Zhu Meng said with undiminished confidence.
