Turn the page, and you'll find yourself in another world.

"Why did you jump over here!" Tang Yue glared at Mo Fan, who jumped directly from another balcony into her room.

"Aren't you afraid that someone will overhear us when we're talking?" Mo Fan said matter-of-factly.

"I don't want to lie to you."

"So this plague is indeed related to your god?" Mo Fan pressed.

"I...I don't know," Tang Yue replied.

"Then you're telling me it's not poisonous during its metamorphosis period...?"

"That's true. It's definitely not toxic during its metamorphosis period."

"It's not poisonous, but it can spread the plague?"

"Your clan chief implied that you should take it away not only to avoid Zhu Meng's execution, but also to remove the source of the plague from the city?" Mo Fan smiled bitterly and made his own deduction.

Like the landlady, most snakes are venomous!

The more powerful the snake, the more potent its venom—this was Mo Fan's preconceived notion!

Teacher Tang Yue bit her lip even tighter, and after a long while she raised her head, her eyes filled with determination as she said, "I believe the plague has nothing to do with it."

"It's your business if you believe it, Teacher Tang Yue, sigh..." Mo Fan sighed, not knowing what to say.

"Mo Fan, I... I don't know what to do." Tang Yue was completely flustered. "The clan records do show that a god used plague to wipe out the demons that invaded Hangzhou, but I believe that a god would never use a plague on humans!"

"Be rational, let's hand it over to that congressman!"

Just like the landlady said, people might start dying in a few days.

You've seen the situation in Baizhen; this plague can really take lives.

If Baizhen fails to stop the plague and it spreads to Hangzhou, hundreds or even thousands of people will die.

"Teacher Tang Yue, you can't afford the consequences."

Mo Fan may have been making light of things, but he was actually unwilling to hand over the Xuan Snake!

"No, we have to force our way through. If your god is a plague god, its continued presence here will only make the plague worse!" Mo Fan said decisively.

"Yes, we'll move out after nightfall. But that will most likely alert the town's military magistrate and expose us." Mo Fan nodded.

"It's alright, everyone can sense the locations of those mage priests, palace guards, and judges. They can't catch up with us no matter what," Tang Yue said.

As night fell, Mo Fan and Tang Yue took action.

The town has a protective wall, which is also protected by a barrier. Any fluctuation in the barrier will be immediately detected by the patrolling military mages.

Mo Fan didn't care too much. The fiery red Firescale Horse was too conspicuous at night, so he summoned the "ordinary" Swift Star Wolf and had it carry him and Tang Yue to break through the barrier.

Yes, that's right!

Mo Fan's Ghost Wolf has evolved into the Swift Star Wolf!

With the moon shining brightly and the stars few, there were practically no people out and about in the entire town of Bai.

Everyone was too scared to go out because of the plague. In HZ City, which was peaceful during the day, hundreds of people suddenly fell ill at night. The news spread quickly, and people were in a state of extreme panic.

The plague spread much, much faster than expected, leaving many pharmacists dumbfounded.

They had never seen such a rampant plague. Healing magic had no effect on it, and previous anti-disease remedies even accelerated the spread of the plague into people's bodies!

The beehive outbreaks of a few years ago are still fresh in my mind; the most similar aspect is that treatment was completely ineffective!

It instantly spread the fear in people's hearts!

Most plagues have an incubation period, followed by the onset of the disease, which then slowly worsens and spreads, eventually leading to large-scale deaths.

But this plague showed no signs of incubation; it just struck without warning.

Diseases that spread rapidly often have a slow rate of deterioration, giving people enough time to find antibodies.

Not only did the plague spread rapidly, but its rate of deterioration was also quite alarming.

The patient, who was diagnosed a week ago, is now covered in dense, bluish blisters that look extremely frightening. If he doesn't receive treatment soon, he may not see the sun rise tomorrow.

In White Town, a man dressed in the long robes of a palace guard stands atop the town's watchtower, his gaze fixed on the distant mountain range hidden in the darkness.

"Captain Wu, shall we give chase?" a guard asked.

"Stand by here. The trainee judges and prospective judges have already gone after them. We can just wait for news here." Although he didn't understand why the councilor was giving him these instructions before his departure, Chief of the Guard, Takehira Kageyoshi, did as he was told.

"Captain, I've heard that the Totem Serpent is incredibly powerful. Even if all of us attack it, we might not be able to hold it back. If you or Lord Zhu Meng don't take action personally..." the guard said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, the totem snake in its molting stage is very weak, no different from ordinary demons."

"This snake has lived for countless years. Since it has violated the laws of nature, it will surely be punished by Heaven. The molting period is Heaven's punishment for it," said the head guard, Wu Pingjing, speaking off the cuff.

As for the saying that the older one gets, the more monstrous one becomes, it seems that doesn't exist!

"That's good... So all we need to do is deal with that Tang Yue and the man beside him. I just don't know how strong the man beside Tang Yue is," the guard said.

"Just a mid-level mage." Wu Pingjing smiled, knowing he wasn't lying!

"Oh, then any trainee judge could handle him."

........

One hour ago, in Hangzhou!

News of the plague's spread reached Zhu Meng in less than ten minutes. Coupled with the news from his palace guards that Mo Fan and Tang Yue had escaped with the Xuan Snake, Zhu Meng was furious.

In front of other councilors and high-ranking officials, Zhu Meng even berated his chief bodyguard, the super-level mage Wu Pingjing, for half a quarter of an hour!

Inside an elegant villa, Zhu Meng, with a full beard, angrily smashed the expensive teacup in his hand to pieces.

Seeing his subordinates with their heads down, unable to utter a single word in front of him, Zhu Meng was even more furious.

"You're all useless, all useless!! Such a huge snake demon, just vanished like that! I told you to keep an eye on the Totem Clan, what have you all done??" Zhu Meng pointed at them and cursed.

"Councilor, please calm down. We did keep a close watch on every important member of the Totem Clan as you instructed, but we did not expect that the Totem Clan would hand over the Totem Serpent to a woman in the clan named Tang Yue."

"This woman's strength isn't particularly outstanding within the clan, so we didn't immediately send someone to keep an eye on her..." said Wu Pingjing, the head of the palace guards.

"This Tang Yue, as a judge, openly defied me."

"We can issue an arrest warrant directly. If the Hangzhou Trial Committee objects, arrest everyone who objects!" Zhu Meng said angrily.

Do they really not consider legislators to be legislators?!

"Councilor Zhu, please stop punishing your subordinates." An elderly man dressed in a retro brocade robe slowly walked out of the courtyard, carrying a pot of fragrant tea in his hand, his goatee swaying as he walked.

Goat's beard?
