Full-time Creation Master

"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.

"I think you're not worried about the Totem Serpent causing trouble, but rather that as long as it exists, your hidden danger strategy can't be fully implemented, you won't be able to gain more supporters, and you won't be able to become the president of the Magic Court!" the old totem guardian rebuked angrily.

Zhu Meng looked at the old man with the goatee and, instead of being angry, laughed.

A bunch of pathetic old fogies, obsolete by the times. Do they really think I'm some bureaucrat willing to do anything to climb the ladder?!

The goatee elder also snorted coldly. No one present dared to offend this council member, but Luo Mian was not afraid of him.

Luo Mian is also a councilor and the biggest local tyrant besides Tang Zhong. He will never allow Zhu Meng to use the totem snake as a stepping stone for his pursuit of fame and fortune!

"You need to get this straight, Congressman Luo Mian, it's this demon god they're worshipping that's causing the harm."

Do you think I did this on purpose?

Then go and quell the panic caused by the appearance of the black snake, and go and resolve the Hangzhou giant snake incident that is currently causing a great uproar.

“You can simply admit to the public right now that you are supporting such a large snake, and see how the public reacts!” Zhu Meng said.

Tang Yue, who had been guarding the totem, finally lost her temper and spoke up, "The totem serpent won't harm people. What makes you say those two corpses were the work of the serpent?"

"Where did this ill-mannered girl come from? Do you even have the right to speak here?!" A palace guard standing next to Councilor Zhu Meng shouted.

Zhu Meng glanced at Tang Yue, as if he recognized her.

Her gaze swept across the room, and when she saw Mo Fan looking completely out of place, she stared at him intently. Just as she was about to say something, she caught sight of the little girl Lingling following a young figure she had almost forgotten about. Her pupils contracted, and she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

He waved his hand, indicating to the head guard beside him that there was no need to worry about this issue of understanding.

"Everything requires evidence. It's ridiculous to just drag out two corpses and claim that they were killed by the Totem Serpent!" Tang Yue continued angrily.

"Tang Yue, don't be rude, step down." Judge Tang Zhong stood up and looked at Zhu Meng, saying, "My niece is right, everything must be based on evidence."

With the capabilities of our totem, if we truly wanted to kill someone, we wouldn't leave a single corpse behind.

How could two rotting corpses have been left behind out of nowhere, only to be discovered a week later...?

To pin the blame for these two corpses on our totem is simply outrageous!

"That's right, that's right. This has only just happened, and we need to investigate it thoroughly," a peacemaker said.

"Investigating cases is not my job; that's your job. My duty is to eliminate potential threats."

Its presence in the bustling city center is enough to place it at the top of the list of potential hazards.

"I'm only giving you two days. Either you hand over the totem snake yourselves, or I'll do it myself!" Zhu Meng held up three fingers, his attitude as domineering as could be.

"You're utterly unreasonable! Don't try to pin your so-called 'hidden danger strategy' on our totem!" The old man with the goatee was red with anger.

"I am a member of parliament."

The magical palace and the jeweled mage tower granted me the supreme authority to eliminate potential threats.

Now, if I say it is, then it must be!

Zhu Meng had no desire to waste any more words with these old clansmen who were desperately guarding their totems.

The appearance of the totem snake in a bustling city center has posed a threat, with two lives at stake, and countless citizens are demanding an answer from the government. Whether through legal means or public opinion, the totem snake must be eradicated this time!

……

Zhu Meng left with a group of palace guards, leaving behind a room full of speechless people.

Those who were neutral, and those who favored obedience to the Magic Court and the Supreme Inquisition of the Pearl Mage Tower, all stood up and left.

This matter is now a done deal.

Zhu Meng's attack this time was well-founded and justified; it seems the Totem Serpent will have little chance of escaping this calamity.

As the meeting participants gradually dispersed, only five people remained in the room: Judge Tang Zhong, the old man with a goatee Luo Mian, the eagle-eyed man with waterfall hair Hei Yu, Tang Yue, and Mo Fan.

Chu Ming and Lingling are already having tea in Zhu Meng's office...

"Sigh, I never thought that even though we were protecting it so carefully, someone still managed to find a way to get it." Tang Zhong sighed, looking extremely melancholy.

"What should we do now? Zhu Meng is determined to deal with the totem this time."

"And this time he's in the right, so even if we petition a higher-level meeting, I'm afraid we won't be able to calm things down," Kuroba said.

"Actually, Zhu Meng was just showing off for a short time."

If he wants to deal with the totem, then let him deal with it.

If he truly possessed the ability to defeat the Totem Serpent, he would have acted long ago; why wait until today…

"It's not that they're afraid of the totem's power." Councilor Luo Mian stroked his beard, seemingly unconcerned!

"Councilor Luo, you don't know this..."

"The totem undergoes a molting period every ten years. The reason it appears in the bustling city is due to the restlessness during this period. During molting, its strength will decrease significantly," Tang Zhong said, half-jokingly.

"You mean, this ten-year molting process is about to begin in the next few days?" Luo Mian was stunned, looking surprised.

"Exactly."

"This is troublesome. Zhu Meng really knows how to pick his timing..."

"We suspect there's a traitor within the clan," Kuroba said in a calm voice.

Not everything is a coincidence. The fact that Zhu Meng dared to make such outrageous remarks this time shows that he had made ample preparations.

Presumably, the traitor has already told Zhu Meng about the molting period.

"Tang Yue, I think you should take the totem away from here as soon as possible and find a safe place for it to spend its molting period in peace," Tang Zhong said.

"Okay, I understand." Tang Yue nodded, preparing to play along with the plan.

"I'll take care of protecting Tang Yue and Totem," Hei Yu said.

Judge Tang Zhong shook his head and said, "The totem in the molting stage is very sensitive. Any leader-level creature or high-level human mage that appears within a radius of 20 kilometers will arouse its hostility."

Tang Yue is the only one whose strength surpasses this limit without being considered an enemy by the totem…

The implication was that only totem guardians could approach without being driven away, and Kuroba immediately understood!

As he said this, Judge Tang Zhong glanced at Luo Mian, noting that Luo Mian's stance on the side this time was a bit too firm.

Mo Fan doesn't need to ask; he can't escape!

Moreover, Mo Fan's cultivation level was also suitable. He continued, "This young brother is not a high-level mage, so there shouldn't be any problems with him following the totem."

"Him? How could you let an outsider do such an important thing..."

Besides, what use is a mid-level mage like him in such a situation?

"The palace guards under Zhu Meng's command are all highly skilled." Luo Mian immediately objected, "And who is he?"
