Everyone's eyes flickered with hope after hearing Wang Xiaojun's suggestion. If they could cure the plague, the White Magic Falcons would withdraw after losing their targets. They had always stayed within their territory, thus there must be a reason why they were desperately invading the human territory.
”Commander, maybe we should try out the young man's idea? The situation wouldn't be any worse if it failed,” said Elder Li Tian.
The other Commanders in the meeting room agreed, too.
”Alright, Wang Xiaojun, is it? If you manage to retrieve some Red Falcon Herbs, I shall reward you the title 'Hangzhou Protector'!”
Wang Xiaojun responded with a salute and said, ”I'll make sure I accomplish the mission!”
”Wang Xiaojun, you do know that West Ridge is even more dangerous than the battlefield. There's a high chance that you will lose your life. Are you sure you want to do it?”
Wang Xiaojun hesitated for a brief moment before saluting again, ”I'll return alive!”
Leng Qing glanced at the firm look on the young man's face, and recalled Councilman Luo Mian's indifferent attitude despite what he had done. When compared to the fearless young man, Leng Qing discovered that a Councilman with great authority was a lot worse than a young man who had yet to receive his military rank.
Leng Qing was touched by the young man's spirit. She glanced at Lingling and said, ”Lingling, you shall go with Wang Xiaojun. Make sure he comes back alive!”
Leng Qing glanced at Mo Fan and knew what he had come here for. She spoke to Councilman Zhu Meng, ”Councilman, the Black Totem Snake has nothing to do with the plague, could you please let him go and allocate the people guarding West Lake to the frontline? Otherwise, we won't last until the Red Falcon Herbs are retrieved.”
Councilman Zhu Meng stroked his beard. There was still no evidence proving that the Black Totem Snake was friendly, but according to the news from his men, the Black Totem Snake was on the verge of dying. Even if they were to withdraw the seal, he could not do any harm to them. Considering that Tang Zhong's tribe could provide strong firepower to the battle, in order for them to fully cooperate with the military, it made more sense to spare the Black Totem Snake's life.
Councilman Zhu Meng said with a nod, ”Alright, we'll let him go.”
Leng Qing finally smiled for once. She immediately said to Mo Fan, ”You will bring Councilman Zhu Meng's order to West Lake and have them withdraw the Lightning Punishment Formation. Ask them to head to West Fortress at once to defend against the army of White Magic Falcons.”
Mo Fan let out a smile. Their effort was not in vain after all! They finally managed to save the Black Totem Snake. Now, it was only a matter of time until Miss Tangyue devoted her life to him...
Uhh, everyone is extremely worried about the situation. Aren't I being too heartless thinking about that now?

Mo Fan immediately made his way back to the city and went straight to Su Causeway. The nine lightning halberds were still standing firmly on the lake, suppressing the gigantic Black Totem Snake.
The Black Totem Snake was the same as the last time he had seen him, his body curled up while he rested his head atop it. He seemed to be in a deep sleep. Mo Fan walked up to Tangyue, who was still guarding him at the same spot.
”He should be alive still, right?” asked Mo Fan.
”I...I don't know...I can feel that his aura has become extremely weak. If we still can't find a way to save him...he could fall into an eternal sleep just like that...” said Tangyue with red eyes.
