Mu She!

The leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group!

One of the three great mercenary groups in Green Mountain Town!

His own strength was that of a two-star Dou Master; although he had stagnated at this level for many years, he was still not someone an ordinary mercenary dared to provoke!

Mu She spoke up, making it clear that he was there to back the Benevolent Medicine Hall!

He walked to the side of the Benevolent Medicine Hall's owner and released the Dou Qi pressure of a Dou Master.

The ordinary mercenaries in the surrounding area fell silent at once, even silently retreating several steps.

Even the mercenaries who had previously been clamoring to stir up trouble dared not speak again, fearing they would offend Mu She.

They were merely ordinary mercenaries.

If they offended Mu She, their days in Green Mountain Town would become very difficult indeed!

The expression of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion's owner turned ugly in an instant!

Previously, because he had hired Xiao Yi Xian, the strength of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion had expanded somewhat, which was why he had dared to shout about tearing down the Benevolent Medicine Hall.

But if the Wolf Head Mercenary Group stood with the Benevolent Medicine Hall, the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion would find it hard to resist!

"Just as I said before, if she could be poisoned so easily, then this physician's medical skills are probably nothing to boast about!"

Mu She said with a cold sneer.

His cold, gloomy gaze swept across the surrounding crowd of onlookers.

Seeing those who made eye contact with him lower their heads one after another, he hummed triumphantly.

Threatened by Mu She's gaze, the momentum of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion's side diminished significantly.

"Hmph! Stop spouting such nonsense! How could anyone guard against a thief for a thousand days? People will always have moments of laxity!"

The owner of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion said with a livid face: "Xiao Yi Xian being poisoned does not prove anything about her medical skills!"

"Furthermore, the witnesses and physical evidence are all laid out here. Do you of the Benevolent Medicine Hall intend to turn black into white?!"

The owner of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion clung tightly to the point of witnesses and evidence, while simultaneously refuting Mu She's words forcefully.

The owner of the Benevolent Medicine Hall sneered, walked slowly down with his hands behind his back.

He arrived before the witness, poked his head out, and looked carefully.

"Heh, you of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion! I don't even know this person at all!"

"Heaven knows where you found this scapegoat, tortured him into a confession, and falsely accused him of being one of my Benevolent Medicine Hall's people!"

The old man stood up slowly and said with a calm, unruffled air: "The so-called witness is nothing but your one-sided story. Who knows if you colluded with the witness?"

"As for the so-called physical evidence, this plate of pastries containing poison—who can prove it came from our Benevolent Medicine Hall?"

"Even if it really did originate from our Benevolent Medicine Hall, there is no guarantee that some other person with ulterior motives didn't want to frame us!"

When the old man said "person with ulterior motives," his eyes specifically glanced at the owner of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion.

It made the owner of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened!

At the end, the old man even feigned sadness and said: "Poor Xiao Yi Xian, to be poisoned to death and then still have people use her to make a scene."

The old man's words immediately caused the surrounding crowd to discuss the matter heatedly.

"It seems like he has a point. The witnesses and evidence mentioned by the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion might really be a play directed and acted by the owner himself!"

"Bullshit! Why would the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion owner want to poison Xiao Yi Xian? She brings a lot of business to the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion!"

"Come to think of it, everyone keeps saying Xiao Yi Xian was poisoned, but why haven't we seen her corpse yet?"

As the crowd discussed, Xiao Ze had already pulled Xiao Yi Xian away from this place of trouble halfway through the conversation.

Since both sides held their own versions of the truth, they would simply gather evidence on the spot!

The creation of a potent poison is not a simple matter; it would certainly leave behind some traces!

Taking advantage of the fact that the Benevolent Medicine Hall's attention was drawn to the front.

Xiao Ze pulled Xiao Yi Xian to sneak into the Benevolent Medicine Hall and search the interior.

After a thorough search, they actually found a hidden room!

The residual components in the room were precisely the potent poison that had caused Xiao Yi Xian to be poisoned!

"Alright, now the evidence is ironclad!"

Xiao Ze had been inclined to believe the Benevolent Medicine Hall was behind the mischief from the start.

Now that he had seen the physical evidence, he had few qualms about taking action!

Two years later, when Xiao Yan arrived in Green Mountain Town, only the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion remained as the dominant force.

It seems that according to the original timeline, Xiao Yi Xian was not poisoned, and the two sides left the matter unsettled.

With the help of Xiao Yi Xian, the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion continued to develop and soon annexed or ruined the Benevolent Medicine Hall.

As for the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, why would they stand up for the Benevolent Medicine Hall?

Xiao Ze guessed that in all likelihood, the Benevolent Medicine Hall saw their business failing and decided to take a desperate gamble!

They must have offered massive profits to bribe the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, tasking them with handling the aftermath of poisoning Xiao Yi Xian!

It could have been some rare medicinal herb, or perhaps a share of their profits for the next ten years.

Faced with such immense benefits, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group would certainly be unable to resist; after all, mercenaries are inherently driven by profit!

Because the thriving Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion would never offer the Wolf Head Mercenary Group such exorbitant benefits!

Xiao Ze did not want to concern himself with the schemes behind this; he only wanted to deal with the primary culprit and the accomplices who poisoned Xiao Yi Xian.

He would then take Xiao Yi Xian and leave Green Mountain Town, severing all ties with this place forever!

Xiao Ze arrived at the entrance of the Benevolent Medicine Hall, where both sides were still arguing.

"Hehehe! Stop arguing. I have found the poison used to kill Xiao Yi Xian inside the Benevolent Medicine Hall!"

A hoarse, gloomy voice emerged from Xiao Ze's throat; he found that the laughter of a Soul Hall elder was truly unique.

The moment Xiao Ze spoke, he silenced both sides.

This unexpected third party drew the gazes of everyone present.

Two figures draped in black cloaks were seen walking in from outside the crowd.

Xiao Ze tossed the evidence he had collected onto the ground.

Panic flashed across the face of the Benevolent Medicine Hall's owner, while the owner of the Ten Thousand Medicine Pavilion looked somewhat delighted, sensing that this mysterious person seemed to be on his side.

The old man still wanted to quibble and argue sophistically.

Xiao Ze spoke first.

"There is no need for you to quibble anymore. I merely received treatment from Xiao Yi Xian, and now that she has been poisoned to death, I wish to avenge her."

As he spoke, Xiao Ze walked toward the old man.

Seeing the mysterious figure approaching, the old man retreated repeatedly.

He was like a scholar meeting a soldier; he had no words to defend himself!

"Hmph, so if you can't win with words, you want to resort to force?"

The old man braced himself and shouted to Mu She, who was standing by and watching the show.

"Commander Mu She! You promised you would intervene!"

"I know, I know. How strong could a guy who hides his head and shows his tail really be?"

Mu She said confidently, the aura of a Dou Master erupting from his body as he lunged forward with a ferocious grin.

"You rat hiding in the shadows, if you want to avenge someone in your next life, you had better weigh your own worth first!"

The surrounding crowd was forced to retreat repeatedly by the intense pressure of this Dou Qi.

They looked at Mu She with expressions of horror.

This was the might of a Dou Master!

"Heh, I return those exact words to you!"

Xiao Ze stopped in his tracks and said with a chuckle.

"Arrogant!"

Mu She roared and lunged forward, reaching his palm toward Xiao Ze's cloak, wanting to see his true face.

The surrounding crowd saw this scene and their hearts leaped into their throats.

They felt pity for Xiao Ze; of all people to provoke, why provoke a powerful Dou Master!

Xiao Ze mobilized the water-attribute Dou Qi within his body, mixing in a trace of poison-attribute Dou Qi, causing his originally light blue Dou Qi to instantly turn deep blue.

Xiao Ze's finger struck first despite starting later.

In the eyes of the crowd, it landed on the center of Mu She's forehead with a movement that appeared slow but was actually lightning-fast.

"Puchi!"

The scene seemed to freeze at that very moment!

When Xiao Ze withdrew his finger, it remained as clean as before.

However, a bloody hole had appeared in the center of Mu She's forehead.

The surrounding crowd was stunned into silence.

A two-star Dou Master, killed with a single finger?!!
