Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

Tang Yue shook her head and said, "I understand what you mean, but... but I can't do it!"

Lin Chen sighed softly and said, "I'm really impressed by you. Fine, I'll listen to you!"

Since things had come to this, Lin Chen didn't plan to force her. Besides, Tang Yue had already given up so much for him, not only giving birth to his daughter but also putting her most desired career on hold! Tang Yue's sacrifices alone were enough for Lin Chen to yield.

Although the Black Serpent was a Monarch-level demon beast, its strength was considered mid-to-low tier among Monarch-level demon beasts. Now, Lin Chen's summoned beasts had long stepped into the threshold of 100,000-year soul beasts. Especially Qiu'er and Yin'er, who had followed Lin Chen from the beginning, their soul beast age had reached 500,000 years. As their strength grew higher and higher, the energy crystals they needed every day also increased, and the soul beast age also increased faster and faster.

Therefore, Tang Yue's willingness to break ties with Hangzhou and go to Feiniao City with Lin Chen could only be described as icing on the cake. Even without the Black Serpent, with Lin Chen's soul beast army alone, Feiniao City would be as solid as a rock in the future, and there was no need to worry about the invasion of demon beasts.

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Tang Yue's face. She stepped forward and gently kissed Lin Chen's cheek, acting coquettishly, "Husband, I knew you were the best!"

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Alright, let's go quickly!"

"Wait, let's take Lin Yue with us!" Tang Yue said, she didn't want her daughter to be in danger, nor did she want others to use her daughter to threaten them.

"Okay..." Lin Chen replied, looking a little embarrassed, almost forgetting about his daughter.

With that, the two returned to their residence. Tang Yue put all the necessities into the Spirit Realm and left with Lin Yue.

Stepping out of the residence, a pair of huge fiery red wings spread out behind Lin Chen. Lin Chen held Lin Yue in one arm and Tang Yue in the other, flying towards the horizon.

Soon, they successfully flew out of Hangzhou. Guided by Tang Yue, they quickly arrived at a mountain range connected to each other. The majestic peaks were very suitable for the Black Serpent to hide!

...

At the same time, within the Hangzhou Tribunal, a fierce debate unfolded, with councilors Zhu Meng and Luo Mian leading the Super-Order mages in putting pressure on Tang Zhong.

"Tang Zhong, now there is another plague in the city, do you still want to protect that demon serpent? Do you want to see this situation continue to worsen before you're happy?"

Before Tang Zhong could speak, an elder who clearly held the position of protecting the totem said indignantly, "Protect? Why should we protect it? The Totem Black Serpent has been in this city for who knows how many years. This is its habitat. I really don't understand what qualifications you have to drive it out!"

"That is your totem, what does it have to do with us? What I care about is whether this demon serpent will cause chaos!" Zhu Meng said with equal vigor.

"I don't think you're worried about the Totem Black Serpent causing chaos, but worried that if it exists for one day, your hidden threat strategy will not be fully implemented, and you will not be able to gain more supporters, and you will not become the president of the Magic Association!" the elder rebuked.

Zhu Rong looked at the elder and smiled instead of getting angry.

The old elder also snorted coldly. The two confronted each other, tit for tat.

At this moment, Tang Zhong's voice sounded!

"Alright, everyone, stop arguing. Now, it cannot be proven that the plague is caused by the Black Serpent. Moreover, the Black Serpent has lived in the city for so many years, and this situation has never occurred. I think there must be some unknown reason behind this matter, it's just that we can't find the root of the problem yet."

"Investigating the case is not my business. My duty is to eliminate hidden dangers. The fact that it openly appeared in the downtown area is enough to make it the top of the list of hidden dangers. Now I will only give you two days. Either you hand over the Totem Black Serpent yourself, or I will do it myself!" Zhu Meng said sternly.

"You are simply unreasonable. Don't use your so-called hidden danger strategy to accuse our totem!" the old elder said, his face red.

Just as everyone was deadlocked, a communication officer came in and said, "Report, more patients have appeared in the city!"

His appearance broke the balance between the two sides. The originally evenly matched confrontation had already tilted towards Zhu Meng's side. In the end, Zhu Meng stood on the side of human righteousness and asked Tang Zhong to obtain the Black Serpent's blood and compare it with the epidemic to prove whether the Black Serpent was innocent. Tang Zhong and others had no choice.

"Under West Lake, the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon seal contains space, and the power of the seal is very strong. Even Super-Order mages cannot break the seal. The Black Serpent usually lives there!" Councilor Luo Mian reminded him.

Luo Mian's reminder was to tell Tang Zhong not to play any more tricks.

Zhu Meng snorted coldly and said to everyone, "Tang Zhong, for the sake of mankind, you should know what is more important!"

Under everyone's coercion, Tang Zhong could only helplessly agree.

Soon, Tang Zhong came to West Lake, but he couldn't find the Black Serpent no matter what.

"What's going on? The Serpent isn't in the seal?"

Tang Zhong said with a confused look. He didn't know that Lin Chen and Tang Yue had already taken the Black Serpent out of Hangzhou!

"Could it be Tang Yue?" Under everyone's gaze, Tang Zhong took out his phone and dialed Tang Yue's number.

The phone returned a voice prompt that it was turned off. Tang Zhong's face was a little ugly. He didn't expect Tang Yue to take the Black Serpent away without authorization, and didn't even inform him.

Tang Zhong couldn't have imagined that Lin Chen had already come to Hangzhou. Lin Chen and Tang Yue chose to run away with the serpent and turned off all electronic devices, putting them all into the Spirit Realm, in order to prevent being located and tracked, causing these unnecessary troubles.

"Well, it's good that they left. Once the Serpent's molting period is over, there's nothing to worry about!" After calming down, Tang Zhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. For the sake of human righteousness, he had no choice but to stand on the side of mankind. Even if he knew that the Black Serpent was innocent, he still came with everyone to catch the serpent, even personally trying to lure the Black Serpent out. Now that he learned that Tang Yue had taken the Black Serpent away, he finally didn't have to feel guilty.

Outside Hangzhou City, the continuous mountains formed a majestic mountain range. Countless demon beasts were hidden deep in the mountain range. On a large mountain, there was a luxurious villa. The villa was surrounded by trees, but there were no traces of any demon beasts. With the aura of the Black Serpent, Lin Chen and Tang Yue didn't have to worry about the approach of demon beasts.

Tang Yue was only stunned by this suddenly appearing portable villa, but she wasn't too surprised, because she was already used to it.
