Chapter 605
The man wears a wooden mask that completely covers his face, but does not hide his aura.
The man’s face was completely covered, but he did not hide his aura.
Yet he made people feel an unprecedented oppression.
Some people on the seats turned pale.
“Lord Shadow?!”
“It’s really Lord Shadow!”
Apart from the Hall of Justice, apart from the Elders, only Shadow had the right to speak and the absolute power to punish.
But he was so mysterious that he appeared even less often than the Elders’ Group.
The Dan Alliance’s Grand Elder froze and quickly responded, “Lord Shadow, it’s not that we didn’t invite the Hall of Justice, it’s because we thought that this is just a matter for the ancient medicine community, there’s no need for the Hall of Justice to raise a fuss.
“Evil doctors are endangering ancient medicine, ancient martial artists are responsible for protecting ancient medicine, and the Hall of Justice is also pursuing this matter.” Fu Yun Shen leaned back in his chair, “Crossing over the Hall of Justice to casually rectify a vote and have to detain suspects, who gave you the right?”
“……”
There was silence in the hall.
Fu Yunshen raised his eyes, his expression cold, and laughed: “The nerve, it’s really big.”
Clearly sharp, but none of those present dared to speak.
Even Xie Nian shut his mouth.
Not surprisingly, Shadow was definitely an Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Which one of them could beat this?
Whoever had a hard fist had the right.
“Brother Shadow, long time no see.” Cheng Jin greeted, “Why are you back and not going around to the Martial Alliance?”
“No time, don’t bother me.”
Cheng Jin: “……”
Fu Yunshen lifted his chin and his gaze fell on the Eldest Elder, “I’m asking you guys something.”
The Grand Elder wiped his cold sweat and was also nervous: “Shadow Seat, it’s definitely not what you think, it’s the evidence that came first, then the vote.”
“Physical evidence can be disguised, the matter is about the evil doctor, how can it be perfunctory?” Fu Yunshen was faint, “Does Miss Ying have any evidence that she wasn’t there?”
Ying Ziji looked at him, “Yes.”
Yunshan, who was also wearing a mask, stood behind Fu Yunshen, holding back his laughter very hard.
“Come on, don’t pretend, what are you pretending for?” Xie Nian was impatient, “If you really had evidence, why would you be arrested? What would you have done long ago?”
Just like Lin Qingjia, pure and noble on the surface, but behind the scenes, she didn’t know what kind of nasty look she had.
She was most annoyed by such people.
Cheng Jin was choked by Fu Yunshen and was in a bad mood, so she disliked him directly: “Then have you given this young lady time to clarify?”
Xie Nian’s gaze was cold: “Cheng Jin!”
Lin Qingjia turned her head and smiled, “Miss Xie, take it easy, Mr. Cheng is just telling the truth.”
Xie Nian’s face turned even colder: “Lin Qingjia you shut up too, what the hell are you?”
If she hadn’t come to see what was going on, she wouldn’t have even condescended to come here.
The door was snapped shut again at that moment.
The Eldest Elder was afraid that some big shot he couldn’t afford to mess with had come to visit, so he hurriedly went to open the door.
Outside the door, there was a guard from the Vu family holding a computer.
With hurried steps, he placed the computer on the table, “Miss Ying, the computer you want, the video has been imported.”
At these words, the crowd was a little surprised.
The video?
When Xie Nian saw the computer, she was a little nauseous.
The Xie family had always rejected all high-tech products from the outside world.
As a direct descendant, the Xie family had given her a mobile phone, which she had thrown away.
It was the other few elders who hadn’t seen a computer that were a little frozen.
“Trouble.” Ying Ziji raised her hand, “Take a look.”
The guard, touching the computer for the first time, fumbled to open it and then played the video.
The image in the video was of the pill refining room where Ying Zidian was.
Someone else turned pale.
This was the room specially equipped for Ying Zidian by the Dan Alliance, so who would have a camera in their room?
The next video showed that on the previous night, a man dressed in black walked in, carrying a bag.
He goes around the refinery room and finally puts the bag in a very hidden place.
This bag was also familiar to those on the scene; it contained the Buddhist tablets that were harmful to the human body.
This man ended up looking around for a while before he padded out.
This is where the video ends.
“I told you before, someone set her up.” Qiu Man snorted coldly, “The Dan League is not doing well with strict investigations, who let the outsiders in?”
The Grand Elder smiled bitterly, “Alliance Master, we don’t know either.”
“Wait a moment.” Fu Yunshen’s voice was calm, “Before I came, I had already sent someone to check.”
The door was opened once more.
“Shadow Throne, we’ve found out, a corpse was found on a deserted mountain outside the Dan Alliance.” Cloud Mist walked in and knelt down on one knee, “All that’s left of the corpse is white bones, and according to the survey, this corpse is the person who appeared in the video.”
The corpse was destroyed.
“Awesome awesome.” Xie Nian’s eyes rolled and he clapped his hands, “Ying Zigui, that’s awesome, you don’t treat your subordinate like a human being, you killed him after the job, so cruel, I can’t compare to you.”
These words brought the already turned situation into a stalemate once again.
“Not bad.” The ancient divine doctor spoke arrogantly, “This video doesn’t prove that she’s not an evil doctor either, rather it’s more certain that she is.”
“No, no, no, there is still a video.” The guard hurriedly spoke up, “Look.”
The second video showed Ying Zidian in a bar in the imperial capital last night, staying from 6pm to 2am.
“It takes three hours to get back to the ancient martial world from the imperial capital.” Fu Yunshen folded his hands, “I only look at evidence, not people, she was still in the secular world at two in the morning, the autopsy results showed that Meng Qingxue died at eleven, how did she come back to kill someone?”
The Grand Elder couldn’t say anything.
Xie Nian snorted, “It’s not impossible.”
Ying Ziji raised his eyebrows slightly, not slowing down: “Are you trying to say that I found someone to pretend to be me, then gave him my token to kill Meng Qingxue, and deliberately left the token behind in order to have the Ancient Medical Community trace me? ”
Xie Nian’s expression was gloomy and her face was ironic.
That was indeed what she wanted to say.
But the logic simply didn’t make sense.
Being asked this, and in full view of everyone, Xie Nian’s face hurt hotly.
Under extreme embarra*sment, she slammed the table and simply got up to leave.
“It seems that it was indeed the evil doctor who picked up Miss Ying’s token and brought it with him, before sneaking in and killing Meng Qingxue.” Cheng Jin asked, “What was the cultivation level of those guards watching?”
Meng Xiong spoke, “Fifty years of ancient martial arts cultivation, which is already the highest in the ancient medical community.”
Fu Shen rolled his eyes as he listened.
His old ancestor was the one with the highest cultivation in the ancient medicine world.
But indeed, not many people in the Fu family knew that Fu Shi was a dual practitioner of ancient medicine and ancient martial arts.
“That’s right, this Miss Ying is an ancient doctor and doesn’t even have an ancient martial arts cultivation, how did she get past you guards to get in?” Cheng Jin shrugged, “There is only evidence, where is the brain?”
Ying Ziji glanced at Cheng Jin.
Cheng Jin was the young master of the Wudao Alliance, and the only disciple of the Wudao Alliance’s president, so naturally his talent was not bad.
He was twenty-six years old, and according to the a*sessment, his ancient martial cultivation reached the level of seventy years.
It is only when one reaches the level of two hundred years in ancient martial arts cultivation that one is able to return to the basics, to be collected and released like an ordinary person.
Other ancient martial artists could not see the internal energy fluctuations in her body because she had used medicine to conceal it.
“I deeply regret what happened in the ancient medicine world.” Cheng Jin spoke, “One of these days, I will send someone from the Martial Alliance to protect your safety, and make sure that all the evil doctors are caught!”
If the ancient doctors were all mutilated by the evil doctors, it would end up endangering the ancient martial arts community as well.
He and Lin Qingjia left together.
Everyone else dispersed as well.
Ying Ziji stroked his clothes and held out his hand, “Can I have the token now?”
The Grand Elder frowned, “Miss Ying, we’d better make you a new token, this one was taken back from the evil doctor, there might be something wrong with it.”
“No need.” Ying Ziji lifted her eyelashes, “Don’t hold it for so long, I’m afraid it will poison you.”
The Eldest Elder broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly handed over the token, “Miss Ying, you’re joking again.”
Ying Ziji took the token and left through the door.
Fu Shen was waiting for her outside.
Ying Ziji turned her head: “Did you find out?”
“This …… is not available.” Fu Shen was embarra*sed, “The old ancestor has been running around outside for two days, and he hasn’t found any trace.”
“Thinking that you guys can’t find out either, if not, the evil doctor should have been eradicated decades ago.”
Fu Shen’s eyes lit up and he lowered his voice, “Master ancestor, you have put your hands on this token? Isn’t it possible to help us find the Evil Doctor Commander?”
Ying Zidian raised her eyebrows, “It’s rare to be smart and have such long hair, not bad, worthy of praise.”
After saying that, she gave him a perfunctory applause.
Fu Shen: “????”
**
Xie’s home.
Xie Nian was cold-faced as she recounted what had happened at the meeting to the Xie Family Master.
The Xie family head, however, pondered for a long time and took out a photo: “Nian Nian, you saw that Ying Zidian, was it her?”
Xie Nian glanced at it casually, “Yes, it is, why?”
“It’s really her.” The Xie family head frowned, “To be honest, to tell you the truth, this is the person who was calculated by the Grand Elder at that time after he had given your big brother a fortune reading, only if she married your big brother could your big brother wake up.”
Xie Nian snorted, “Just her? Is she worthy? Don’t you see how much you are? Is my big brother someone who can marry anyone he wants?”
“That’s not the point.” The Xie family head waved his hand, “I was wondering if she might have something to do with Shadow? The last time Feng’er was captured, it was Shadow who sent someone to move.”
“Father, you’re thinking too much.” Xie Nian was noncommittal, “Strength is paramount in the ancient martial world, Shadow even rejected me, can he look at her?”
Of course she also wanted to play with Shadow for a while.
Only that her mind was moved, but it didn’t work out.
So she set her sights on Nie Yi.
Xie Nian added, “Xie Feng deserved to be caught, you guys didn’t check out that she was an ancient doctor at the time, and when an ancient martial artist strikes at an ancient doctor and the Hall of Justice runs into her, of course they have to strike.”
The Xie family head pondered for a moment, “It’s also true, your elder brother has gotten a lot better, but he still hasn’t woken up, and now that this Ying Zigui has a high status in the ancient medicine community, it won’t be as easy to get her to marry your elder brother.”
Ying Zidian’s current status was the same as Fu Shen’s, protected by both the ancient medicine and ancient martial arts communities, and there was no way to force it.
It was also true that ancient martial artists could not harm ancient doctors.
Xie Nian faded: “There is always a way.”
She bid farewell to the Xie Family Master and went to the school grounds to practice martial arts.
The Xie family head considered the matter for a long time and prepared to go and discuss the matter with Lady Xie.
**
Evening.
Dan League.
There has been one incident after another recently, and the evil doctors have secretly infiltrated the Dan Alliance, so the people of the Dan Alliance are on edge.
Ying Zidian is in the pill-making room, sorting herbs.
Fu Yunshen helped her with the fire: “After this meeting, have you found out who it is?”
“Yes, and I have proof.” Ying Ziji lowered her head, “Now I’m ten percent sure, with this identity, no wonder she could hide for so long, even the people around her couldn’t tell.”
Fu Yunshen nodded, “Shall I go?”
“No need.” Ying Ziji wiped her hands and stood up, “I’ll go and have a look.”
She went out of the refining room and ten minutes later, she came to a house.
Ying Zidian raised her hand and knocked on the door.
The person in the room spoke, “Come in.”
Ying Zidian went in and closed the door again.
The room was silent.
The person turned around and sighed, “Today’s meeting was really a commission for you, I didn’t expect the evil doctor to be so cunning as to plant it on you.”
“When you took my token, you should have tested it emphatically to see if I had put poison or some other drug that would reveal your identity.” Ying Ziji wrapped his arms around him and faintly, “After all, I was able to create a medicine with different properties by just changing the order of the herbs at the Winter Hunt.”
“But you didn’t after you tested it, so you took it away with confidence and hung it on your own.”
The man’s hand lurched.
“There were many guards guarding Meng Qingxue, the other evil doctors didn’t know ancient martial arts, and since you were a dual practitioner of ancient medicine and ancient martial arts, you could only kill her yourself, and then ended up intentionally letting Meng Qingxue grab the token, pretending to have accidentally lost it, and framing me for it.”
“You didn’t think you could get me caught over this either, just a diversion, but of course it’s better if I get caught.”
Ying Ziji’s eyelashes dropped and she smiled faintly, “But what makes you think that, again, who gave you the illusion that your ability to make poison, was higher than mine?”
“Lord Qiuman?”
Chapter 606
“……”
The bedroom was silent, except for the rustling of the leaves from the wind blowing outside the window.
The silence was dreadful.
Qiu Man turned from the dressing mirror, she slowly put the cow horn comb down, her face was dripping with confusion, “What? How could I have taken your token?”
With that, she smiled slightly, her voice kind, “Didn’t you accidentally lose the token and have it picked up by the evil doctor?”
“Your right hand.” Ying Zidian was stolid and calm, “See if the black lines have appeared.”
Qiu Man subconsciously went to look at her right hand, but found nothing there.
Two seconds later, she reacted and her face was cold: “You’ve tricked me?!”
“Oh, I’m sorry.” Ying Ziji’s apology was insincere and his tone was perfunctory, “Three seconds short of counting, three, two, one.”
When the last sound fell, a cone of pain came from her right hand, and Qiu Man’s expression changed.
Soon, her entire right arm was paralysed.
But Qiu Man’s reaction was also quick.
Three golden needles came out of her hand, sealing the acupuncture points on her right arm and hindering the spread of the toxin.
However, the heart of her right hand was completely blocked with black veins, hideous and terrifying.
Qiu Man exhaled slowly and actually smiled, “Awesome, really awesome, heroes come out of the woodwork, the poison on your token, I did not find it.”
“I also didn’t expect that the token was placed there by you on purpose.”
Two small mistakes had exposed her.
A hundred years of hiding had come to naught today.
“You know that I am an evil doctor, and you know that I am a dual practitioner of ancient medicine and ancient martial arts, and you still dare to come here alone.” Qiu Man spared a thought, “Is it because you decided I wouldn’t do anything to you?”
“Ying Zidian, I have to admire your boldness.”
“Yes, I am the Evil Doctor Commander, and there are eighteen hundred other Evil Doctors under my command, and you would never have guessed who they are.”
By saying such words, she meant that there was no longer any intention to hide herself.
Ying Ziji looked at her with a calm expression.
“Actually, I am quite reluctant to settle you.” Qiu Man sighed softly, “Do you know that other than Feng Lan, you’re the most talented pill refiner I’ve ever seen.”
Ying Zidian’s eyes were slightly cold.
Feng Lan, was the amazingly talented disciple that Fu Shi had taken in.
She was extremely talented in pill refining and acupuncture, and her blood had wonderful uses.
This time when she returned to Earth and met Fu Shi, the one thing Fu Shi talked to her about the most was Feng Lan.
Fushi had been blaming herself and regretting that she had not been able to protect her disciple.
“Speaking of Feng Lan, her death was quite tragic.” Qiu Man laughed again, “That was almost a hundred years ago, we were both in our twenties, friends, and she came under Fushi’s tutelage while I did not.”
“She would teach me what she had learned, so she couldn’t believe until her death that I would be an evil doctor.”
Qiu Man spoke to herself, “First I poisoned her dumb, cut out her tongue for the medicine, then stripped her hair off one by one, and finally bled her.”
“I used her blood to make a new medicine, which is indeed good and can cure a hundred poisons.”
Ying Ziji’s eyelashes dropped and she spoke in a faint voice: “You took over the Dan Alliance to better brutalise the geniuses of the ancient medical community as well.”
It was only later that she had heard the Grand Elder mention that every now and then a member of the Dan Alliance would go missing, all of them on the list.
But there weren’t many, and no one thought in that direction of the evil doctors.
“Not bad.” Qiu Man tsked, “Yes, there’s also the Fourth Elder, I’ve known for a long time that the Fourth Elder’s family was coming to the Dan Alliance side and went ahead, he was really miserable too, his son was on his knees begging me to let his wife go.”
“But how could I let it go? I first killed his wife and finally killed him, and then I comforted the oldest and gave him a lot of pension, and he was grateful to me, not knowing that I was the one who destroyed his whole family.”
Qiu Man laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes, “It’s so funny isn’t it?”
Ying Zidian’s fingers clenched, “No wonder.”
The guards sent by the Fourth Elder were from the Dan League, that is, Qiu Man’s men, and it would be most convenient for only Qiu Man to do something.
But Qiu Man’s prestige in the Dan League was so high that no one suspected her at all.
“All right, that’s enough talk, Ying Zigui, you still have a chance.” Qiu Man was proud, “What’s the difference between an evil doctor and an ancient doctor? What we, evil doctors, pursue is the ultimate in medical skills!”
“I am confident that I will train you to be even better than Fushi, and that if you join me, we can go to better places in the future.”
As she said that, her expression actually drifted off for a few moments, “You must not have imagined how that is a city with advanced technology and piles of gold, compared to that place, the ancient martial world is just a drop in the ocean.”
“The people of that place are the real masters of the earth!”
Ying Zigui’s eyes narrowed abruptly, “What place?”
She could be sure that Qiu Man was talking about the place where Norton was now.
She had surmised that Qiu Man was an evil doctor, but she had never thought that Qiu Man was also connected to that mysterious place.
“How could I possibly tell you?” Qiu Man’s smile withdrew and her expression turned cold, “This attitude of yours shows that you don’t want to become an evil doctor.”
“I indeed don’t want to be an evil doctor.” Ying Zigui slowed, “Those medicines you refined are also really disgusting.”
“Very well, too bad, Ying Zigui, I gave you a choice.” Qiu Man’s gaze was cold and she snorted, “I’ll put my words right here, if you go out and say I’m an evil doctor, no one will believe you at all, do you think your position in the ancient medicine world can compare to mine?”
These words were true.
The Dan Alliance had a history of over a hundred years, and Qiu Man was the second alliance leader.
The thousands of ancient doctors up and down the Dan Alliance all had genuine admiration for Qiu Man.
On ordinary days, Qiu Man was always the amiable elder who cared for his juniors.
“Someone!” Qiu Man snapped, “I was wrong about the person, the evil doctor is really Ying Zigui, she hides really well, but I still caught her, hurry up and send someone!”
The lights outside came on at once, and footsteps sounded hurriedly.
The First Elder was the first to arrive, and he pushed the door open in surprise: “Lord? What did you say? Miss Ying, she?”
Qiu Man pressed his arm and spoke coldly, “She came to me tonight to ask for advice on a problem, but in reality she wanted to kill and silence me, luckily I was more skilled and got her identity out.”
At a glance, the Grand Elder saw Qiu Man’s hand that had turned black and was shocked, “Lord, you’ve been poisoned!”
Even Qiu Man had been poisoned, how high must Ying Ziji’s poison making ability be?
In just half a minute’s time, the guards and the group of elders all arrived.
The Fourth Elder hated the evil doctor with a pa*sion, and he had indeed never suspected Qiu Man.
When he saw Qiu Man’s poisoning again, his eyes blazed with anger: “Ying Zigui, so it really was you! How could you be so cruel as to do this to a baby?”
The Grand Elder hesitated, “Lord, is there a misunderstanding? It was clear at the meeting that there was-”
“There is no misunderstanding, and you still don’t believe my words?” Qiu Man interrupted the Grand Elder, she stood tall, “Arrest her and send her straight to the Hall of Justice, the Hall of Justice has a wide variety of punishments, make her tell us all about the other evil doctors.”
“Yes!”
Without the slightest hesitation, the guards stepped forward.
“Lord Qiu Man, you have made another fatal mistake.” Ying Zigui looked up, “And what makes you think that I came to you alone without any preparation?”
Qiu Man’s expression froze.
“Cut the crap!” The Fourth Elder bellowed angrily, “Arrest them!”
As the Alliance Master, Qiu Man had a high status in their hearts, not just anyone.
Ying Ziji rolled up his sleeves and held a black rectangular object between his fingers.
It was a recorder.
She pressed the play button.
The conversation between the two people earlier echoed in everyone’s ears.
–Yes, I am the Evil Doctor Commander, and there are eighteen hundred other Evil Doctors under my command, and you would never guess who they are.
–and the Fourth Elder, I have known for a long time that the Fourth Elder’s family was coming to this side of the Dan Alliance and went ahead, he was really miserable too, his son was on his knees begging me to let his wife go, but how could I let her go?
The Fourth Elder’s body instantly stiffened and his whole body froze as he stared blankly at Qiu Man, thunderbolts from a clear sky.
His lips twitched, “The League Master?!”
The Eldest Elder was the quickest to react, “Old Fourth, you still call her the Alliance Master? She’s an evil doctor!”
Everyone else was shocked too.
Qiu Man’s expression turned from stunned to gloomy as her voice squeezed out from between her teeth, “Very well, Ying Zigui, you’ve shaded me again, this time, count yourself lucky!”
With a flourish of her inner strength, she created the wind beneath her feet and left the room in an instant with great speed.
At the same time, the vases and other objects in the room all floated up under the effect of internal energy, clanging and smashing towards the crowd.
Naturally, this could not hurt them, but it was enough to make Qiu Man run far away.
The Grand Elder drew in a breath backwards, “Internal energy outwardly manifested, Ancient Martial Arts Grandmaster!”
