A cool breeze was blowing across the West Lake in autumn. The surface of the lake was cold and sparkling.
Normally, the West Lake would be filled with tourists and residents, but it was now deserted along the shore.
On one hand, the plague had caused a great deal of panic among the people. No one was willing to go out unless it was absolutely necessary, as they were afraid of being infected by the terrifying plague. On the other hand, all the entrances to the West Lake had been sealed off, preventing anyone from entering the enormous lake and the shore.
The West Lake was as big as an ocean.
On the Su Causeway that stretched across the West Lake, the willows were swaying in the wind. It looked like many women were tidying up their freshly washed hair.
On the Su Causeway, Councilman Zhu Meng and his Captain of the Royal Guards, Wu Pingjing, were standing at the edge. They were facing the city of Hangzhou.
Across half of the West Lake, they could see a great number of skyscrapers on the opposite shore. Rows of skyscrapers with different architectural styles were reflected on the surface of the lake. The city was located beside the lake. The reflection of the city on the surface of the lake was spectacular!
Large black clouds floated in the night sky. The silvery yellow moonlight outlined the outline of these clouds. Occasionally, the spotlights on the dome of some skyscraper would join in the fun. The light was like a stage lamp that shone on the clouds, making the clouds particularly bright and eye-catching. It hung above the elegant city and also had a special figure under the lake.
Suddenly, a greenish-black fog appeared near the bright clouds in the dark night. At first, the fog was like a veil, making the sky hazy. However, not long after, the greenish-black fog became more and more domineering. It had already covered the silver-yellow moonlight. Even the colorful lights scattered into the sky from the blossoming city were all sucked into the fog.
It was pitch-black, a pitch-black shadow that was sweeping across the sky.
The pitch-black fog drifted over the sky of Hangzhou City, slowly approaching the desolate West Lake.
On the Su Causeway, Councilman Zhu Meng, Wu Pingjing, Councilman Luo Mian, Li Jin, Tang Zhong, Tang Yue, Mofan, Li Tian, Leng Qing, Mofan, and the others raised their heads and stared at the dark mist looming over the West Lake.
"That's how it appeared and disappeared in the downtown area without anyone noticing …" Leng Qing said slowly.
Leng Qing was an extremely cold and enchanting woman. She was also the little loli's elder sister.
It was Mofan's first time meeting the Eldest Senior Sister of the Clearsky Hunter Agency. What he did not expect was that Leng Qing was actually a Vice Presiding Judge. Her strength was shocking, and her status was extraordinary.
"It's here." A smile appeared on Tang Yue's face.
Sure enough, as long as he played the zither made from the snake scales on its body, no matter where it was, it would rush over.
It had returned. Even though its ecdysis had not ended, it still returned here.
The greenish black fog had already reached the center of the West Lake. Under the pitch-black sky, an incomparably huge and slender figure suddenly transformed into a shocking black lightning. It split open the boundless night sky and fell straight into the West Lake!!
"Hua long long ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!!!!"
As the snake's body plunged into the lake, a huge white wave swept across the surface of the lake.
The water mist that flew into the air turned into a torrential downpour. The waves rolled up from the center of the West Lake, which was like a sea, to the Su Causeway, and almost drowned the entire long Su Causeway!
The crowd on the causeway stared with their eyes wide open. It was most likely the first time for many of them to see the true appearance of the Black Totem Snake.
The surface of the lake finally calmed down after a long time. In the lake, the Black Totem Snake's neck and head were exposed as he slowly swam toward the causeway. Even though only a small part of his body was exposed, it still felt like a huge black cruise ship was slowly approaching!
"Big guy, are you done with your ecdysis?" Tang Yue yelled at the Black Totem Snake in the lake.
The Black Totem Snake had already reached the causeway. His neck and head were a lot taller than the causeway. His giant lantern-sized eyes were staring down at everyone standing on the causeway.
Although he only had Tang Yue in his eyes, it felt like everyone was within his sight.
"He's not done with his ecdysis." Councilman Luo Mian could tell with a single glance.
If the Black Totem Snake was done with his ecdysis, the snake patterns on his body would be very distinct instead of faint like the current one.
Besides, his aura was not as imperious as before. Councilman Luo Mian could even sense his feebleness.
At that instant, Councilman Zhu Meng turned around and glanced at Councilman Luo Mian.
Councilman Luo Mian nodded. His eyes flickered viciously!
The bearded Zhu Meng slowly raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist all of a sudden.
It was his signal to give the order. It was time to move out!
As soon as Zhu Meng gave the signal, countless figures suddenly jumped out from the causeway. These people were well-trained, and had already hidden themselves at different spots on the causeway. As soon as Zhu Meng gave the order, they immediately filled up the entire causeway in just a few seconds.
Among these people, the leaders were all wearing the outfits of the Royal Guards. They were clearly Councilman Zhu Meng's own army of Magicians.
The rest were wearing the outfits of the Magic Court. Judging from the color of their outfits, they were Councilman Luo Mian's men!
The members of the Magic Court were scattered across the country to carry out their duties. It was definitely unprecedented for an army of Magic Court members to appear on the causeway.
"Take him down!" yelled Councilman Zhu Meng.
"Activate the Lightning Punishment Formation, don't give him any chance to escape!" ordered Councilman Luo Mian.
The sudden turn of events took Tangyue, Mofan, Li Tian, Tang Zhong, Leng Qing, and the others by surprise.
Tangyue's eyes were filled with disbelief when she saw the Magicians who had been lying in ambush for a long time coming out from the causeway.
"What are you trying to do?" yelled Tangyue.
The two Councilmen had never mentioned these people lying in ambush.
Besides, with so many Advanced Magicians, no one would believe that they had no ulterior motives!
"Tangyue, you've done well. Leave the task of slaying the snake to us," said Councilman Luo Mian with a smile while fondling his goatee.
"We have to eliminate this threat in time. Once we eliminate it, the plague will be completely eradicated!" said Councilman Zhu Meng with a stern look.
Today was the day that the Totem Snake that had brought the disaster would die!
Tangyue felt like she was struck by lightning. She never thought the two Councilmen would team up to lie to her …
