Chapter 1711 - Chapter 1711 Chapter 1708 Mysterious Dark Hand_1

Chapter 1711: Chapter 1708: Mysterious Dark Hand_1 Chapter 1711: Chapter 1708: Mysterious Dark Hand_1 It was clear that Ling Xiu’s inner struggle continued as the speed with which she disrobed was incredibly slow. However, it only made her half-concealed, half-exposed appearance more tantalizing.

However, Yang Chen’s attention was not on this. He had a sudden idea and thought to himself, “I can see this woman has not fully committed herself to me. I should test her first.”

With that, Yang Chen let out a soft grunt, took off his coat, and said directly, “Miss Ling Xiu, I see you’re having trouble with your clothes, let me help you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chen lunged at Ling Xiu, pushing her onto a nearby Jade Bed.

Ling Xiu’s delicate body trembled, and a faint moan escaped her lips. Now pinned beneath Yang Chen, she seemed to have given up.

However, as she watched Yang Chen fumbling with her clothes, which were now mostly undone, Ling Xiu suddenly shuddered and allowed the heat of anger to fill her head. She couldn’t understand why she had to suffer like this. She gathered her True Qi and slapped Yang Chen’s body.

Yang Chen’s eyes rolled back, and he fell off Ling Xiu’s body, unconscious, and started snoring heavily.

Ling Xiu quickly tied up her clothes, breathing heavily. She shook her head, unsure if she was feeling regret or relief about her actions.

She was relieved that her power was just right, neither too strong nor too weak, enough to knock out a Spirit Plate Stage opponent without hurting them.

As a result, she remained unviolated, but she regretted that her action might have jeopardized the Ling family’s situation.

If that were the case, how could she explain to her grandfather?

With this thought, Ling Xiu sighed, “Grandfather, I’m sorry. I can’t bring myself to be with such a scumbag.”

With that, she clenched her fists, hesitated for a while, before saying, “Forget it. I’ve already done it. Tomorrow, when this man wakes up, I will tell him that I have already served him, and he has given an oath about yesterday’s events. He cannot be certain that the two of us haven’t been intimate. Given his arrogant nature, he’s bound to be a coward and seek protection from his master. By that time, if he helps the Ling family through the crisis, Yang Chen will come to claim my body again. If I expose my intact virginity at that time, today’s lie would be self-defeating. However, by then, the Ling family will have been through the crisis, and it doesn’t matter if I die. If he kills me, it would be better than being played and humiliated by him.”

“Anyhow, I need to inform my grandfather about this, so he doesn’t worry.”

With that, Ling Xiu got up and left, disappearing from the room.

Not long after she left, Yang Chen, who was supposed to be unconscious, quietly awakened and sat cross-legged as if nothing had happened.

“This woman really doesn’t hold back,” Yang Chen stretched lazily.

However, her methods were only against Spirit Plate Stage opponents. For a master like him in the Integration Period, their effectiveness would naturally be greatly reduced.

Moreover, his own body cultivation had already reached the eighth level of the Tiger Roar Body Skill, which was not only extremely sensitive but also very defensive.

Ling Xiu’s palm strike probably couldn’t even break his defense, let alone knock him out.

Of course, he still had to play the role.

Otherwise, he would have a headache thinking about how to continue.

“As I thought, this woman would never submit to me,” Yang Chen’s mouth curved upwards. “Now that she’s gone, I can take the opportunity to find out what exactly is going on with this Ling Mansion. Since I arrived, something has felt off, eerily sinister. This major family should be thriving, and yet it has such a vibe, which is truly odd.”

Yang Chen didn’t think he was wrong. He instinctively activated his Divine Soul and searched the area.

However, after searching the area, he didn’t find anything unusual, which made him ponder even more deeply.

Soon, he came to a realization, “That’s right, if there were any abnormalities, Ling Xiu and her grandfather must have noticed them already.”

But his intuition told him it was best to search more thoroughly.

After considering it from all angles, Yang Chen still thought it was worth the extra effort. Although it would be tiring, at least it would ease his mind.

With that thought, he unfolded his Divine Soul again, and began to search inch by inch.

His second search was much more meticulous than the first, and it was because of this that he discovered some interesting things.

“There’s a corpse…” Yang Chen murmured to himself.

During his Divine Soul Exploration, he had found a corpse that seemed to have been killed recently.

This forced Yang Chen to take it seriously, “Looking at the clothes, it should be someone from the Ling family. Who would dare to kill a Ling family member on their own territory?”

Yang Chen didn’t think he would encounter such a rare event just by searching the area. This shouldn’t be a coincidence.

What puzzled him was that there seemed to be no one around the corpse.

“No, no. Did the murderer leave this corpse here on purpose?” Yang Chen couldn’t understand.

As he pondered, a mysterious black hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the corpse, and in a short period, the corpse was drained of fluid, becoming shriveled up as if consumed.

Yang Chen caught sight of this scene and couldn’t help but take action.

“What’s going on?”

By the time he came to his senses, the corpse was completely drained and all that was left was a pool of blood on the ground.

Then, a burst of flame appeared, and the pool of blood vanished without a trace.

All traces of evidence were completely destroyed in the blink of an eye. If it weren’t for his just happening to notice, no one would ever discover this.

Yang Chen’s expression was grave, but it quickly cleared, “Who exactly is this person that consumes corpses? I couldn’t see anything apart from the black hand, and consequently couldn’t discern their cultivation level. But why would someone dare to do such a thing in the Ling Mansion?”

He didn’t believe that anyone would dare to kill a Ling family member within the Ling Mansion without having some kind of background or support.

Thinking of what Ling Xiu had said earlier about the Ling Mansion, Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, suddenly understanding something.

“I need to take a closer look for myself.” With that thought, Yang Chen quietly got up and left the room.

By the time he reappeared, he had concealed his aura and arrived at the spot where the black hand had consumed the corpse.

Once there, Yang Chen started to miss Hong Yue. If he could master her Shadow Techniques, he wouldn’t have to worry about sneaking around like this.
