The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 678 - 560: Chen Peigen's Plan

"Let's go, something's happening on Chen Peigen's side!"

Yang Tian activated the Gale Divine Talisman, taking Wu Yue and Ling Ying, and flew towards the Spirit Bird's location.

After flying for about ten minutes, they arrived at a hill.

This hill was filled with villas, a well-known affluent area. It was night, and Yang Tian's group landed in the neighborhood without being noticed.

"Yang Tian, where's your bird?"

Wu Yue asked urgently as soon as she landed.

Yang Tian whistled.

Suddenly, there was a flapping sound as a fiery red Spirit Bird flew out from the woods, landing on Yang Tian's shoulder, affectionately pecking at Yang Tian's hair.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Wu Yue exclaimed in admiration upon seeing the Spirit Bird.

She had no resistance to cute creatures, stepping forward to try and take the bird from Yang Tian's shoulder.

However, the Spirit Bird only recognized Yang Tian. When Wu Yue approached, the bird snapped at her.

"Stop!"

Yang Tian commanded.

The Spirit Bird halted its actions but let out a dissatisfied screech toward Wu Yue.

"Yang Tian, I want your bird. Let me play with it!"

Wu Yue said to Yang Tian.

"Oh."

Yang Tian shrugged, knowing Wu Yue's fondness for animals.

He used his Divine Sense to issue a command to the Spirit Bird.

The bird was reluctant but still flew onto Wu Yue's shoulder.

Wu Yue grabbed the Spirit Bird: "I finally caught you, such a beautiful bird, I want to raise it!"

"Sister Yue, let me have a share too!"

Ling Ying at the side was not to be outdone.

"Alright then, the two of us will raise it together!"

Wu Yue laughed gleefully.

Yang Tian was helpless; they came here to check on Chen Peigen's situation, didn't they?

At the moment, Yang Tian stopped paying attention to Wu Yue and Ling Ying, and walked towards the villa ahead.

It was late at night, and the other villas had some lights on, but the villa in front was completely dark. The courtyard was long neglected, overgrown with weeds, not looking inhabited.

But Yang Tian, using Divine Sense, could feel the Spiritual Breath wave inside the villa.

What puzzled Yang Tian was that the Spiritual Breath wave was very strong.

This should be a powerful person!

But Yang Tian knew Chen Peigen's strength clearly; at most, he was just a simple Body Tempering Realm cultivator.

Yet the Spiritual Breath inside the villa belonged to a Fetus Refining Realm expert.

"Could it be that the person inside the villa isn't Chen Peigen?"

Yang Tian's eyes flashed with doubt.

He used Divine Sense to probe inside the villa, and soon saw everything within through the walls.

A man in his twenties stood in front of an altar, draped in a layer of Fire Robe, chanting incantations, hands moving continually. A fireball formed in his palm, burning continuously, and in front of the man was an altar on which was placed a golden statue.

Upon a closer look, Yang Tian frowned.

This golden statue was actually an effigy of a Corpse Demon.

For a moment, Yang Tian's face turned somber: "Is Chen Peigen worshiping a Corpse Demon? Could his mana have come from the Corpse Demon?"

But Yang Tian also knew that the Demon Fiend bloodline within Chen Peigen was a unique asset.

If Chen Peigen found a way, he could completely rely on the Demon Fiend bloodline to become stronger.

"Brother Yang, I sense a strong Spiritual Breath!"

Ling Ying's voice sounded.

Yang Tian turned back and saw Wu Yue playing with his bird, while Ling Ying had come to Yang Tian's side, using Divine Sense to probe into the villa, exclaiming, "Strange, why is it Chen Peigen? Just half a day ago, he wasn't this strong! How did he become so strong in just one afternoon?"

"Chen Peigen is worshiping a Corpse Demon, he's probably performing some ritual. Let's go inside!"

Yang Tian said and walked towards the villa first.

Ling Ying followed behind him.

Wu Yue, however, looked at the two of them and said, "Yang Tian, you go ahead, I'll play with your bird!"

Yang Tian shrugged and entered the villa's courtyard.

"Brother Yang, is Chen Peigen really the only one inside the villa? Could he have truly gotten stronger?"

Ling Ying also entered, landing next to Yang Tian.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Yang Tian swung his hand, drew out the Holy Sword, and with a light slash, he split open the villa's door and walked straight towards the innermost altar.

"Who's there?"

A cold voice echoed from within the altar.

It was Chen Peigen.

Almost the next second, Chen Peigen was already in front of Yang Tian.

A cold gleam flickered, and before Chen Peigen could approach Yang Tian, the Spirit Sword had already coldly aimed for Yang Tian's throat.

Yang Tian's eyes flashed with doubt.

He raised the Holy Sword and swung it forward.

Crack!

A crisp shattering sound echoed, and the Spirit Sword in Chen Peigen's hand shattered into pieces.

"It's you, Yang Tian!" Chen Peigen landed on the ground, staring coldly at Yang Tian, "It hasn't even been half a day, and you've found me? What puzzles me is, I've hidden so well, how did you find me?"

"What are you doing here? Worshiping a Corpse Demon?"

Yang Tian asked in a deep voice.

His figure flashed, and he had already entered the altar.

"Stop! How dare you trespass into my forbidden ground, you're courting death!"

Chen Peigen shouted angrily, following Yang Tian into the altar, blocking his way, and warily watching him.

Yang Tian looked at the Corpse Demon effigy on the altar, and quickly noticed that it was smeared with bloodstains, dried but unmistakably the Demon Fiend bloodline.

"Did you use your own blood to worship the Corpse Demon?"

Yang Tian asked coldly.

His gaze shifted to the altar and saw numerous clay pots, probing them with Divine Sense, revealing them filled with spiders, scorpions, and snakes.

All of these creatures were filled with hostility.

Moreover, their eyes were blood-red and vicious.

From this, Yang Tian realized that these spiders and snakes likely ingested Chen Peigen's Demon Fiend bloodline.

"Yang Tian, you aren't welcome here. Leave immediately!"

Chen Peigen said coldly.

"Chen Peigen, as a descendant of the Chen Family, you're using your bloodline to raise venomous creatures to increase your strength, aren't you?"

Yang Tian stated calmly.

"That's right, the Demon Fiend bloodline has such effects, why shouldn't I use it?" Chen Peigen scoffed coldly, "Just give me a few more days, and I can be strong enough to oppose you!"

Yang Tian remained silent, glancing at the Corpse Demon effigy atop the altar.

"Brother Yang, we should attack him now. If we give him a few more days, it will be troublesome then!" Ling Ying, a killer who prefers striking first, urged, "He got so strong in just half a day, if we wait a few days more, we won't be his match!"

Still, Yang Tian said nothing.

He kept looking at the Corpse Demon effigy, and after some time, suddenly said softly, "Since you're here, come out."

"Huh?"

Ling Ying was surprised. Was there anyone else here?

"Corpse Demon Ministers, I know you're here, right inside the Corpse Demon effigy!" Yang Tian said calmly, "The strong Spiritual Breath wasn't from Chen Peigen, but emanating from the effigy. During our skirmish, I used only a fraction of my strength to shatter Chen Peigen's Spirit Sword. How could he have become stronger in half a day? You set a trap here, didn't you? Come out..."

"Yang Tian, you are indeed clever, even noticing our trap!"

A cold voice echoed from within the Corpse Demon effigy...
