Chapter 9: A Night Visit to Villa Number 30

Li Chen had left some basic identification details with Miao Shipeng and had then exited Villa No. 17 owned by Qin Changhui.

Just as he was preparing to leave as silently as he had come, he abruptly sensed something and immediately halted.

“Eh?” With a soft exclamation, he cast his gaze toward a building not far away.

A thought had struck him.

Anyone who was a cultivator would be highly sensitive to fluctuations in the spiritual power of the world.

At that moment, a reasonably dense spiritual power was continuously emanating from that particular villa. Although this level of spiritual power would be insignificant in the cultivation realms, it had been extraordinarily rare on Earth.

Approaching closer, Li Chen peered through the low courtyard wall into the yard. What met his eyes were weeds so thick and tall they were almost half a person’s height, practically filling the entire yard.

However, the cobblestone path leading from the courtyard gate to the villa was bright and clean, clearly indicating frequent foot traffic.

After some observation, Li Chen had quickly discovered the source of the dense spiritual power here—a formation.

Beneath the dense weeds in the yard lay one large, transparent jade stone after another. From the arrangement of these jade stones, despite some shortcomings, a spiritual gathering formation had faintly taken shape.

Cultivators were almost extinct on Earth these days, so stumbling upon a spiritual gathering formation here had been somewhat surprising for Li Chen.

With this thought, he lifted his head to look at a window on the second floor of the villa that faced him directly.

According to Li Chen’s senses, a majority of the spiritual power generated by this gathering formation had been flowing toward that location.

Generally speaking, jade-based spiritual gathering formations were not used for cultivation. After all, the transformation through a formation had resulted in considerable energy loss, making it inefficient. It was better to directly absorb the spiritual power from the jade stones for cultivation purposes.

Formations like these were mostly used for prolonging life.

For cultivators, spiritual power was the foundation for enhancing strength.

For ordinary people, however, it was an exceptionally precious tonic.

In essence, what the human body could absorb from thousand-year-old ginseng or ten-thousand-year-old lingzhi mushrooms was nothing more than their spiritual Qi.

If Li Chen had not guessed wrongly, the room on the second floor should have been where the person relying on this to prolong their life resided.

Just as Li Chen was contemplating this, a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and a straight back suddenly walked out from the villa’s courtyard gate.

The man had sported a head of neat, short hair and looked exceptionally competent. His eyes had sparkled with a cold light, as if capable of seeing through any disguise.

Judging from the man’s attire, he had appeared to be the bodyguard for this villa.

On him, Li Chen had keenly sensed an almost imperceptible faint stench of blood. This smell had been strange; the scent of blood seemed to be mixed with a faint, unusual fragrance.

This was… the Three Corpses Gu!

The term “Three Corpses Gu” had flashed across Li Chen’s mind instantaneously. In his previous life, he had lived in Miaojiang for a period due to Qin Changhui and had even conducted some research on the art of poisonous insects.

However, encountering the Three Corpses Gu here had been quite a surprise to him.

Suddenly, Li Chen’s eyes narrowed, closely observing the middle-aged man in front of him. From the moment he had seen him, he felt a sense of familiarity.

It was him!

In just an instant, Li Chen had recognized the man before him.

Unconsciously, his gaze shifted behind the man to Villa No. 30.

If he had appeared here, then she…

An image of a little girl—Wu Yi, his best playmate from the orphanage—surfaced in Li Chen’s mind.

Li Chen had distinctly remembered that the man who had adopted Wu Yi years ago had been wearing a mask, and the man standing before him had been that man’s bodyguard.

Just then, the middle-aged man spoke, “I am Mu Si, responsible for the security of this villa. I noticed you have been standing here for a while. Is there something you need?”

Mu Si’s voice bore no trace of menace but was imbued with an aura of cold detachment.

With a significant look, Li Chen glanced at a window on the second floor. He had only found out about Wu Yi’s death after he had graduated from university in his previous life. If his memory served him right, Wu Yi should have passed away this year.

“The woman living in this villa is named Wu Yi, correct?” Li Chen inquired lightly, his eyes landing on Mu Si’s face.

A flash of surprise crossed Mu Si’s eyes, followed by a guarded examination of Li Chen as he tried to deduce Li Chen’s identity.

At the same time, when Li Chen noticed the fleeting look of astonishment on Mu Si’s face, he knew he had guessed correctly.

“Let me in; I have a way to save her!” Li Chen spoke softly and took a step forward, intending to enter.

Mu Si’s eyes grew colder, and he took a step to block Li Chen, raising his hand to stop him. “Stop! Whoever you are, leave immediately! Don’t make trouble for yourself!”

As he issued a cold warning, Mu Si swiftly drew a jet-black dagger from his waist.

Seeing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but slightly frown. With a cold snort, he flicked a coin, shooting it toward the heavy iron gate beside him.

The iron gate vibrated instantly, making a humming sound. As Mu Si focused his gaze, he saw the coin embedded halfway into the gate like a nail!

“If I had ill intentions, do you think you could stop me? Move aside!” Li Chen’s indifferent voice broke Mu Si’s trance.

Mu Si opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a single word. The casual manner in which the coin had been embedded into the iron was beyond anything he could have imagined.

Just as Mu Si was about to speak, he met Li Chen’s indifferent gaze, and his entire being froze on the spot.

What kind of gaze was that!

Mu Si, who had roughed it out in the army for nearly a decade, considered himself experienced. What kind of danger hadn’t he faced? What sort of people hadn’t he met?

Yet, this was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying gaze!

It was deep, indifferent, as if it could see through everything and yet consume all.

A gust of night wind blew by, snapping Mu Si back from his fear. Only then did he realize that his back had been soaked in cold sweat without him even knowing!

At the same moment, Li Chen’s figure flickered, bypassing Mu Si like a ghost and rushing into the villa.

On the second floor of the villa, Li Chen dashed up the stairs and arrived directly in front of the room where the spiritual energy was the most concentrated. With a forceful push, he burst through the door.

It was a room of about twenty square meters, and from the décor, it was clear that it belonged to a woman.

As Li Chen’s gaze swept across the room, he saw a tall and slender man standing there, attentively observing the condition of the woman lying on the bed.

The woman on the bed had chestnut-colored wavy hair, delicate features, and skin as smooth as jade. If she had been at Haining University, she would undoubtedly have been another stunning beauty, even surpassing Xu Yao and Liang Keyun in the aura of an aristocratic young lady.

It was really her!

Li Chen’s heart tightened. While it’s true that women change as they grow older, Li Chen still faintly saw the shadow of Wu Yi’s younger days on the face of the woman lying on the bed.

At that moment, she was lying quietly in bed, her face serene, as if she were in a deep sleep.
