Tang Zhong remained silent about the current state of the Plague Disease.
The outcome was hard for him to accept, too. At first, he and the other members of the clan had believed Zhu Meng was responsible for the two bodies discovered a week later.
But when he saw that the people who had died of the Plague Disease looked just like those two corpses, he was shocked!
It wasn't Zhu Meng... Could it really have been the Totem Black Snake?!
Had the Totem Black Snake grown so agitated during its shedding period that it could no longer control its vicious nature?!
Reports were everywhere, and every major news outlet was focused on Hangzhou. Worse, the two people killed by the Totem Black Snake had shown exactly the same symptoms as those who had died of the disease. If that news got out, the already frightened people of Hangzhou would rise up against the Totem Black Snake!
By then, whether or not the Totem Guardians revealed the truth about the Totem Black Snake, it would be seen as a calamity. Even if the government and the Judgment Hall refused to eliminate it, public pressure would force their hands.
"Ah, the Totem Black Snake has lived in West Lake for countless years, and there has never been a Plague Disease like this before... I need to investigate this properly."

"You're still protecting that Totem Black Snake? Do you understand what's happening? One thousand three hundred and twenty-four people have already been infected! Can you imagine all of them ending up like those corpses
