”Hello, Xinxia, your brother I will be going away for some time. Please take care of yourself...” Mo Fan gave Xinxia a call after Tangyue had finished convincing the Snake Boss.
”Alright, you should take care, too.” Xinxia's tone had with a hint of worry.
”Don't worry… are you at your apartment? Why is it so noisy in the background?” Mo Fan asked when he heard some girls' panicked voice from the other end.
”I'm at the student lodge. Some students had contracted a strange disease. I'm healing them. However, the Healing Magic seems to be ineffective against the disease. There have been quite a number of students falling sick to the disease recently. Furthermore, the school is quarantining the patients, too,” said Xinxia.
Xinxia was a student of the School of Healing, thus she would occasionally help the school out when required.
”Do be careful, a strange disease like that is always contagious,” advised Mo Fan.
”Mm!”
After hanging up the call, Mo Fan realized that Tangyue had already stored the Skyscraping Snake inside the Totem Orb. The Totem Orb initially had a blue-yellow glow, but it now had turned blue-black in color. He could faintly see something wriggling inside the orb.
”It actually fits?” Mo Fan glanced at the Totem Orb curiously and rolled it between his fingers.
”Now isn't the time to play, we have to get out of here. Zhu Meng's people will seal this place off soon,” said Tangyue.
Mo Fan nodded. They left the island with the boat, and headed straight to the west of Hangzhou City.

Tangyue had already come up with an escape path. She was planning to bring the Skyscraping Snake to a place called the White Town, close to the boundary of the safe zone.
The White Town was far to the west of Hangzhou. It was a fair distance away from the city. The White Mountain close to White City had a concealed cave. Only the head of the tribe of the Totem Guardians protecting the Totem Beast knew about the cave, as it was used as the last resort to protect the Totem Beast.
The journey to White Mountain was neither too long nor too short, and Mo Fan's job was to escort Tangyue and the Skyscraping Snake to the White Mountain Thousand Caves.
The White Mountain Thousand Caves consisted of interconnected caves and mountains. The entire area had yet to be explored. It was the perfect place to hide the Skyscraping Snake. It would not even matter if Zhu Meng's people managed to find the entrance of the cave, as the maze-like caves would totally confuse them inside.
”Alright, let's go!”
”Time to head out!”
The two took advantage of the night time and silently left Hangzhou City with the Skyscraping Snake. They headed straight west from the city.

Inside the elegant pavilion of a villa, Zhu Meng furiously smashed the expensive teacup in his hand. He was infuriated seeing his subordinates with their heads lowered as they stood in front of him.
