Chapter 4056: Prevarication

Qiao Mu's fingertip once again lifted a talisman jade piece, her cold eyes fixed on the woman before her, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

That extremely cold gaze, falling upon a wisp of a soul body, felt as chilling as a phantom emerging from hell.

This little stoic girl was even more ghost-like than a ghost!

The soul body trembled, seeing her raise a finger, seemingly about to activate another talisman attack.

The woman shrieked in terror, "Talisman Master! A Grand Talisman Master!"

Did her master even know what kind of existence she had been chasing all these years?

"You're right," Qiao Mu looked at her with indifferent eyes, slowly nodding. "I am indeed a Grand Talisman Master."

"I can make your ethereal soul unable to live or die!"

The woman trembled in fear, burying her head in her body, shrinking into a ball and raising her hands, shaking them repeatedly, "No, don't attack me, please don't."

Qiao Mu moved her fingertip, and amidst the woman's panicked screams, a spell force passed through her body.

The woman, who had expected to suffer the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing her heart again, suddenly felt a warm sensation throughout her body, as if she were basking in a long-lost, faint sunlight.

After the repair talisman's power infused her, this transparent soul body's pain receded slightly, and it felt a little better.

"Don't worry," Qiao Mu said coldly. "I said I wouldn't let you die just like that."

Another jade talisman appeared in her hand, faintly showing the slow movement of lightning spell power within it.

A Lightning Summoning Talisman!

The old woman's body twisted, and she quickly knelt down, bowing her head. "Mercy, mercy! Have mercy, Crown Princess, have mercy!"

"Who are you?" Qiao Mu asked, her expression chilling.

"I, I, I... I am Lady Long's personal maidservant," the old woman stammered, trembling. "My, my surname is Wang, everyone, everyone calls me Granny Wang."

"Which Lady Long?"

"It's, it's the wife of Long Shouxin, from the Long family branch in Imperial Capital City."

Qiao Mu looked at her expressionlessly. After a moment, she suddenly flung the lightning strike spell in her hand, and without hesitation, it drew a bolt of heavenly lightning that explosively struck the old woman's left hand.

"Ah!!" The crackling lightning spell power fiercely surged through her soul body, hurting her so much that she almost doubted her existence as a ghost.

It was too painful, truly too painful. That kind of agonizingly refreshing pain was simply indescribable.

Qiao Mu glanced at her indifferently and continued, "Still unwilling to tell the truth?"

If a Truth Talisman could also be used on souls, then things wouldn't be so troublesome now.

Mo Lian walked to her side, took her small hand, and glanced indifferently at the woman. "Do you think pushing everything onto the Long family will suffice?"

"The Long family branch has now seemingly escaped the Divine Land, but if we truly wanted to apprehend them, it wouldn't be that difficult."

It's just that for now, there's no need.

The soul body trembled again, then said weakly, "I, I'll tell you, I'll tell everything. Please, please, Crown Princess, give me, give me a quick death."

"I, I only know that the one who has been contacting me is an old granny surnamed Zhang."

"She, she is truly the old granny beside the Long family head's wife. If you don't believe me, you can go investigate. Her surname is Zhang, and her name is Zhang Huilan."

"She's very generous with her money, giving me spirit coins to do things," the woman named Wang shrieked in fear as she saw Qiao Mu raise her hand.
