章節 2175: Council

Explanations were given and the culprit was caught, but despite knowing the external threat involved, the meeting was still fraught with dissatisfaction among the serpent leaders.

It was revealed that the patriarch had sanctioned the secret experiments, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of serpent individuals. He had used his authority for a personal ambition. On the other hand, it was also proven that the Ouroboros faction had rebelled against the serpent's established authority, adding another layer of discord.

Tensions escalated as the meeting devolved into a clash between two factions: the viceroy and his supporters, and the Ouroboros allies. With the patriarch's strength greatly diminished, the Faulen faction could no longer dominate or assert its authority as it once did.
