He had followed Qiu Man for sixty years, and even he had no idea that Qiu Man was skilled in ancient martial arts!
The guards sent by the Martial Arts Alliance were not weak in their ancient martial cultivation, the least among them having practiced for seventy to eighty years.
But even a hundred such guards were no match for Qiu Man.
Everyone could only watch as Qiu Man disappeared from the Pill Alliance Headquarters.
The Fourth Elder finally snapped back to reality, clutching his face as he suddenly burst into tears, "I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"
The destroyer of their family was right before his eyes, yet he had loyally followed Qiu Man all these years.
It was he who was blind, he who had failed to see a person’s true nature.
The Great Elder spoke in a deep voice, "Old Four, calm down, no one could have expected this."
Slapping himself several times, the Fourth Elder gritted his teeth, "We absolutely cannot let her escape, if she does, we will have completely lost!"
For an evil doctor, face-changing and altering one’s physique were too easy.
Not to mention, Qiu Man was the leader of the evil doctors.
If she got away this time, and were to make a comeback, she would certainly be even more terrifying.
The Great Elder turned, "Miss Ying, your contribution in exposing the leader of the evil doctors this time is undeniable."
"But you must not go out recently. With Qiu Man lurking in the shadows, and as she is an ancient martial grandmaster, I’m afraid she might harm you."
"No need, she can’t escape." Ying Zijin said indifferently, "An hour from now, her body will emit a fragrance like that of plum blossoms, leaving a scent in any place she passes."
The Great Elder was shocked, "Miss Ying, this?"
Is there such a medicine?
Ying Zijin nodded slightly, "I was taught by Elder Foo Xi."
"No wonder," the Great Elder nodded, "I heard that one of the disciples of Elder Foo Xi was harmed by this Qiu Man. To have a distinguished disciple like Miss Ying in his later years is indeed a matter without regret."
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow and echoed, "Yes."
Foo Chen had just arrived from outside when he heard this exchange.
His legs went soft, and with a "plop", he knelt down before the girl.
The Great Elder jumped in fright, then looked puzzled, "Young Master Foo Chen, what’s wrong? Osteoporosis? I specialize in setting bones; shall I take a look for you?"
"No, no, no," Foo Chen’s voice was strained, and it took him a long while to catch his breath, "I was just too shocked, I didn’t expect that the Ancestor could still teach Miss Ying."
Not just him, even if Elder Foo Xi were to hear this, he would be scared out of his wits.
"Alas, Young Master Foo Chen, you are in the wrong," the Great Elder said with an unsuspecting air, "Elder Foo Xi is benevolent and kind-hearted, always willing to guide talented juniors. It’s a good thing; how can you monopolize Elder Foo Xi?"
Foo Chen, wiping sweat, responded, "Yes, yes, yes."
"I will now go to the Judicial Hall to invite Ying Zhuo," the Great Elder said solemnly, "With the two protectors from the Judicial Hall taking action, we can certainly capture Qiu Man. The more than a thousand evil doctors under her command must also be executed on the spot!"
Ying Zijin nodded her agreement without stopping him.
She walked straight out the door.
**
One hour later.
Elsewhere.
Qiu Man had gone up to a solitary mountain and found a secluded spot to sit down.
Looking detached, she glanced at her hands covered in black veins and sneered.
With one hand, Qiu Man stabbed three golden needles into her arm, and with the other, she actually took out a cellphone.
There was only one number in the contacts list, which did not conform to the formats of any country’s specifications.
The phone rang five times before the other side picked up.
Qiu Man coughed, "Hello, it’s me, Qiu Man. I’ve been discovered; I need support."
Miss Ying’s poisoning of the token was something she had indeed never seen before.
Qiu Man hadn’t expected that there would be someone even more talented than herself.
"Discovered?" The other side was also surprised, "You haven’t been found out in a hundred years, so how come you were suddenly discovered today?"
"I admit, it was my poor planning that allowed someone to find a flaw," Qiu Man took a deep breath and said scornfully, "Isn’t your target the Ancient Medical Field and the Ancient Martial World?"
"If I die, you will not be able to infiltrate and support another puppet so easily."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, "Alright, but you’ll have to wait for a while."
"It’s become rather difficult to leave the city recently, and we need to apply for new passes, which will take at least three days."
"I’ll wait," Qiu Man calmed down, "You must be quick. In three days, I need a brand-new identity."
"I know your genetic technology is advanced enough to fabricate someone with the same DNA as me. They won’t be able to detect it."
The call ended.
Qiu Man gnashed her teeth, enduring the pain in her body.
She absolutely could not die here.
What was the Ancient Medical Field to her?
"When you took Feng Lan as your disciple and not me, did you regret it afterward?" freewebnσvel.cøm
