Chapter 748: 606 Slap in the Face, Tearing Off the True Face of the Evil Doctor [2 Updates]
“…”
The bedroom was silent, with only the rustling sound of the wind stirring the leaves outside the window.
It was eerily quiet.
Qiu Man turned around from in front of the dressing mirror. She slowly placed the ox horn comb down, her face the picture of complete confusion, “What? How could your token have been taken by ?”
As she spoke, she smiled faintly, her tone genial, “Wasn’t the token sothing you carelessly lost and was picked up by the evil doctor?”
“Your right hand,” Ying Zijin remained unmoved, composed, “See if black patterns have appeared on it.”
Qiu Man instinctively looked at her right hand, only to find nothing there.
Two seconds later, she realized what was happening, her expression turning icy, “You’re deceiving ?!”
“Oh, sorry,” Ying Zijin’s apology lacked any sincerity, her tone dismissive, “I miscounted by three seconds, three, two, one.”
As the last word dropped, a heart-wrenching pain shot through her right hand, and Qiu Man’s expression shifted.
Soon, her entire right arm went numb.
But Qiu Man’s response was swift.
She produced three golden needles in her hand, sealing the acupoints in her right arm, hindering the spread of the poison.
However, the palm of her right hand had been entirely covered with a black pattern, grotesquely terrifying.
Qiu Man slowly exhaled, a smile erging on her face, “Impressive, truly impressive, a hero rises from youth. The poison on your token—I indeed did not discover it.”
“I also didn’t expect that you left the token there on purpose.”
Two small mistakes had exposed her.
A hundred years of concealnt had co to naught today.
“You know I’m an evil doctor and that I specialize in both Ancient dicine and Ancient martial arts, yet you dared to co here alone,” Qiu Man was genuinely interested, “Are you so sure I wouldn’t do sothing to you?”
“Ying Zijin, I have to admire your boldness.”
“Yes, I am the leader of the evil doctors. Under my command, there are still one thousand eight hundred evil doctors—you would never guess who they are.”
By saying such things, she was no longer trying to hide her identity.
Ying Zijin watched her, her expression calm.
“Actually, I am quite reluctant to deal with you,” Qiu Man sighed softly, “Do you know that besides Feng Lan, you are the most talented alchemist I’ve ever t?”
Ying Zijin’s gaze turned slightly cold.
Feng Lan was that stunningly talented disciple Foo Xi had taken under his wing.
She was highly gifted in both refining dicine and acupuncture, and her blood had wonderful uses.
This ti when she returned to Earth and t Foo Xi, the most Foo Xi talked about was Feng Lan.
Foo Xi had constantly blad himself for not being able to protect his disciple.
“Speaking of Feng Lan, her death was truly tragic,” Qiu Man laughed again, “That was almost a hundred years ago. We were both in our twenties then, friends. She beca Foo Xi’s disciple, and I didn’t.”
“She would teach everything she learned, so she couldn’t believe until her death that I was the evil doctor.”
Qiu Man spoke to herself, “First, I poisoned her into muteness, cut off her tongue for my dicine, then plucked out her hair one by one, and finally bled her dry.”
“With her blood, I refined a new dicine, which indeed worked wonders, able to cure all poisons.”
Ying Zijin’s eyelashes drooped slightly, her voice somber, “You took over the Pill Alliance also to better harm the geniuses of the Ancient dical field.”
It was only later that she heard the Great Elder ntion that mbers of the Pill Alliance would occasionally disappear, all of them well-known figures.
But there were not many, and no one thought to connect it to the evil doctors.
“Indeed.” Qiu Man clicked her tongue in approval, “Yes, and the Fourth Elder—I’d known for a long ti that the Fourth Elder’s family was coming to the Pill Alliance. I got there first. He really did die a pitiful death, his son kneeling on the ground begging to spare his wife.”
“But how could I? I killed his wife first, and then him. Later on, I even consoled the Fourth Elder, gave him a hefty consolation prize. He was tearfully grateful to , not knowing that I was the one who wiped out his entire family.”
Qiu Man laughed so hard that tears ca out, “Funny, isn’t it?”
Ying Zijin’s fingers clenched slightly, “No wonder.”
The guards sent by the Fourth Elder were from the Pill Alliance, making them Qiu Man’s subordinates. Only Qiu Man would find it most convenient to take action.
But Qiu Man’s prestige in the Pill Alliance was too high; nobody suspected her.
“Enough talk, Ying Zijin, you still have a chance,” Qiu Man said haughtily, “What’s the difference between evil doctors and Ancient dicine? We, the evil doctors, pursue the ultimate in dical skills!”
“I am confident I can train you to be stronger than Foo Xi, and with you joining , we can go to better places in the future.”
As she spoke, her expression turned sowhat wistful, “You cannot imagine, it’s a city advanced in technology, piled with gold and jewels. Compared to that place, the Ancient Martial World is but a speck.”
“The people from that place, they are the true masters of Earth!”
Ying Zijin’s eyes suddenly narrowed, “What place?”
She was certain, the place Qiu Man ntioned was where Norton was now.
She had deduced that Qiu Man was an evil doctor, but she had not expected Qiu Man to also be connected to that mysterious place.
“How could I possibly tell you?” Qiu Man’s smile faded, and her expression turned cold, “Your attitude shows that you don’t want to be an evil doctor anymore.”
“Indeed, I don’t want to be an evil doctor,” Ying Zijin said slowly, “The dicines you refine are truly disgusting.”
“Good, it’s a pity, Ying Zijin, I gave you a choice,” Qiu Man’s gaze was icy as she sneered, “I’ll leave it at this, no one will believe you if you go out and say that I’m an evil doctor.”
“Do you think your standing in the Ancient dical field can compare with mine?”
These words were the truth.
In over a hundred years of the Pill Alliance’s history, Qiu Man was the second Alliance Hierarch.
The thousands of practitioners in the Pill Alliance genuinely admired Alliance Leader Qiu Man.
Normally, Qiu Man was always the amiable elder concerned with the younger generation.
“Co here!” Qiu Man shouted harshly, “I misjudged the person; it turns out Ying Zijin really was the evil doctor, hiding her true nature well, but still I caught her. Co quickly!”
Lights outside suddenly brightened, and footsteps hurried over.
The Great Elder was the first to arrive, and he entered looking astonished, “Alliance Hierarch? What are you saying? Miss Ying?”
Qiu Man held her arm, her voice cold, “She ca tonight to consult with on a problem, but in reality, she wanted to kill and silence . Luckily, I was one step ahead and coaxed her identity out of her.”
The Great Elder imdiately noticed Qiu Man’s darkened hand and was shocked, “Alliance Hierarch, you’ve been poisoned!”
If even Qiu Man had been poisoned, how potent must Ying Zijin’s poison-making skills be?
In less than half a minute, the guards and the Elders Council had all arrived.
The Fourth Elder loathed the evil doctor to the core, and he had indeed never doubted Qiu Man.
Upon seeing Qiu Man poisoned, his eyes were about to split in rage, “Ying Zijin, it was you all along! How could you be so heartless as to harm an infant?!”
The Great Elder hesitated, “Alliance Hierarch, could there be a misunderstanding? It was clear in the eting that—”
“There’s no misunderstanding, don’t you believe my words?” Qiu Man interrupted the Great Elder, her tone authoritative, “Arrest her and send her directly to the Judicial Hall. They have a variety of punishnts there, make her expose the other evil doctors.”
“Yes!”
The guards didn’t hesitate and stepped forward.
“Alliance Leader Qiu Man, you’ve made another fatal error,” Ying Zijin looked up, “How could you think that I, alone, would co to find you without any preparation?”
Qiu Man’s expression tightened.
“Cut the crap!” the Fourth Elder bellowed, “Arrest her!”
As the Alliance Hierarch, Qiu Man held a high status in their hearts, not easily matched by others.
Ying Zijin rolled up her sleeves, clasping a black rectangular object between her fingers.
It was a recording pen.
She pressed the play button.
The previous conversation between the two echoed in everyone’s ears.
——Yes, I am the leader of the evil doctors, and under my command, there are still one thousand eight hundred of them, you wouldn’t guess who they are.
——And the Fourth Elder, I already knew his family was coming to the Pill Alliance, so I went there early. Oh, how tragic he was, his son kneeled on the ground begging to spare his wife, but how could I do that?
The Fourth Elder’s body stiffened in an instant, his entire being dumbfounded. He stared at Qiu Man as if struck by a bolt from the blue.
His lips trembled, “Alliance Hierarch?!”
The Great Elder was the quickest to react, “Old Four, you still call her Alliance Hierarch? She’s an evil doctor!”
The others were shocked as well.
Qiu Man’s expression shifted from shock to a dark scowl, her voice squeezing through clenched teeth, “Great, Ying Zijin, you’ve tricked again, this ti, consider it your lucky escape!”
She unleashed her Inner Strength and moved like the wind!
In an instant, she had left the room.
Simultaneously, the vase and other items in the room levitated under the force of the Inner Strength, crashing towards the people present.
It naturally couldn’t harm them, but it was enough ti for Qiu Man to get far away.
The Great Elder gasped, “Inner Strength materialized, an Ancient Martial Grandmaster!”
