Chapter 4218: Who is Malicious?

Like pearls clattering onto a jade plate, her clear eyes, capable of reflecting figures, were serene.

Wei Su looked at those eyes and couldn't help but feel a growing sense of doubt.

This little poker-face's gaze was cold and clear, appearing very open and honorable.

She didn't seem as vengeful and utterly malicious as Ni Hanzhi had previously claimed.

Wei Su pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "If it is proven that this matter indeed has nothing to do with the Crown Princess, then it is our Medicine King Island's mistake. At that time, I, Wei Su, will personally apologize to the Crown Princess and present a Nine Nether Soul-Transforming Fruit."

Upon hearing this, everyone began to whisper amongst themselves.

Few, whether ordinary people or cultivators, had ever heard of the Nine Nether Soul-Transforming Fruit.

But Qiao Mu naturally knew about it.

It was a divine-grade medicinal fruit, as translucent as grapes but with a light golden hue.

It was said that long-term consumption helped to enhance divine power.

Whether it could raise one's cultivation realm wasn't important, but it was rumored to taste excellent. When chilled in mid-summer, it was crisp, refreshing, delicious, and incredibly juicy!

Imagining a plantation of such "fruit" in the Star Domain, it sounded quite appealing!

Qiao Mu didn't give Wei Su a chance to back out. She nodded and said, "Remember what you said."

Mo Lian looked down at his wife, then slightly loosened his grip.

He watched as the little poker-face swiftly made several transparent hand seals, which scattered into the surrounding air one by one.

Suddenly, the still air around them began to produce a series of thin ripples, spreading out like water waves before everyone's eyes.

Ni Hanzhi knelt beside Elder He Wen, tightly clutching a corner of her skirt, her face showing a hesitant and inexplicably terrified expression.

What was the poker-face doing?

Her few enigmatic hand seals seemed complex and strange, not like talisman techniques?

Ni Hanzhi wished she could suddenly lash out and kill her on the spot.

However, doing so would only expose her guilty conscience.

She remained stiffly seated, unable to move a single inch.

Before Wei Su, a remarkably clear, transparent image now appeared.

A series of gasps and exclamations arose from the surrounding crowd, evidently all having seen the transparent image appear.

There were only two figures in the image, and their movements were incredibly fast. Ordinary people with poor eyesight could only see two people arguing.

Wei Su's face, however, progressively darkened.

With his eyesight, he could naturally discern that the two figures in the image were indeed Ni Hanzhi and Elder He Wen.

Elder He Wen initially seemed to be reprimanding Ni Hanzhi.

Afterward, Ni Hanzhi apparently retorted with something.

Elder He Wen then stared at Ni Hanzhi with a look of shock, barely managing to keep his footing.

He then tried to quickly walk out, but was stopped by Ni Hanzhi.

Elder He Wen argued with her for a few sentences, then angrily flicked his sleeve, unable to bear it any longer. He kicked Ni Hanzhi and said something.

Ni Hanzhi knelt down, kowtowing loudly, holding Elder He Wen's leg and desperately pleading for something.

Elder He Wen's face remained grim and unyielding. He then angrily left a remark, pulled his leg free, and walked towards the door again.

Then came the classic scene.

Ni Hanzhi drew a short dagger from her waist and suddenly stabbed it into Elder He Wen's lower back.

Elder He Wen fell back with a look of astonishment. He tried to turn his head to look at his disciple, but was suddenly stabbed several more times with the short dagger.

The final frame of the image captured Ni Hanzhi holding the blood-soaked dagger, her face utterly malicious.

A collective gasp swept through the crowd.

The Medicine King Island disciples, who had been making a clamor, now all turned their eyes to glare at Ni Hanzhi.
