The Playboy Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO

Chapter 699 - 601: Chen Shangliang's Death (First Update)

"Why is he here?"

Chen Shangzheng's expression changed when he saw the young man on the ice bed.

"Mr. Chen, do you know this young man?"

Yang Tian asked.

"He's my second brother's son!" Chen Shangzheng came forward to thoroughly inspect the young man's corpse, his eyes filled with shock: "It's strange, why is he dead? And why is the body placed here?"

Yang Tian did not speak.

Though he had many doubts in his heart, Chen Shangzheng would explain to him.

After a long time examining the corpse, Chen Shangzheng finally spoke: "Though my second brother only publicly acknowledged three daughters, half a year ago, my mother and I received news that he also had a son. We were never able to uncover the truth, my second brother hid it very well, and never confessed to us. I think he intended his son to inherit the position of Clan Leader of the Chen Family."

"My mother always wanted to find out the truth, and half a year ago, we received some small leads, but since then, my brother's son disappeared without a trace. We couldn't track him, and my brother never mentioned him again."

"Now, it seems that my brother's son is already dead."

Upon hearing this, Yang Tian asked: "So you're saying Chen Shangliang's son died within the past six months?"

"It seems so!" Chen Shangzheng nodded: "Half a year ago, we were able to trace him, even capturing him in video, so we could immediately recognize him as my second brother's son. However, my brother always kept him hidden and never brought him back to the Chen Family."

Yang Tian was silent.

He ran his Divine Sense, probing towards the youth on the ice bed, suddenly saying: "This doesn't seem right, the time of death should be more than a year ago."

"What?" Chen Shangzheng was shocked: "How is this possible?"

Yang Tian did not answer Chen Shangzheng but ran his Divine Sense probing deep into the corpse.

Soon, he furrowed his brow: "There is Demon Breath inside the corpse!"

"What? Demon Breath?"

Chen Shangzheng's expression changed drastically.

He was also aware that the Corpse Demon from the Demon Realm intended harm towards the Chen Clan, and Demon Breath was precisely the Spiritual Breath of the Corpse Demon.

If the corpse has Demon Breath on it, has the Corpse Demon already made a move?

Yang Tian approached the corpse: "Half a day ago, the ice bed's corpse had no Demon Breath!"

This statement made Chen Shangzheng's face pale: "Tian, are you saying the Demon Breath on the corpse was infused within half a day?"

Yang Tian came to the ice bed's corpse; he could clearly feel Demon Breath floating inside it.

He ran his Divine Sense to search all around but felt no other Demon Breath.

The entire basement had only the breath emanating from the corpse.

Besides Yang Tian and Chen Shangzheng present, there was no one else, nor was there a Corpse Demon.

"The speed of the Corpse Demon is fast!" Yang Tian furrowed his brow: "I'm just curious, why would the Corpse Demon infuse Demon Breath on the corpse?"

"Could the Corpse Demon want to devour the Demon Fiend bloodline within the youth's body? After all, he is a descendant of the Chen Family."

Chen Shangzheng said instinctively.

"That's possible!"

Yang Tian ran his Spiritual Breath, flooding it into the youth's body on the ice bed.

Instantly, the Demon Breath inside the youth's body started to boil.

But what furrowed Yang Tian's brow was that the Demon Breath inside the youth's body was not expelled.

Logically, Demon Breath could not be preserved long in a corpse unless the corpse was still alive; if not, Yang Tian's Spiritual Breath should have been able to expel the Demon Breath.

Thinking of this, Yang Tian ran his Divine Sense again, probing deep into the corpse.

This time, he discovered a bizarre situation.

Crack!

Suddenly, Yang Tian ran his Spiritual Breath and pressed on the ice bed.

As he pressed strongly, the ice bed shattered.

Thus, the situation inside the ice bed was revealed.

"Oh my God!"

Seeing the situation inside the ice bed, Chen Shangzheng was shocked, frozen in place, staring intently at everything.

Inside the ice bed, lay a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man was nobody else, but Chen Shangliang.

"What's going on? Why is my second brother lying inside the ice bed?"

Chen Shangzheng asked intently.

Yang Tian did not answer Chen Shangzheng but ran his Divine Sense probing inside Chen Shangliang. Soon, he too discovered a trace of Demon Breath.

What puzzled Yang Tian was why he only sensed Chen Shangzheng's life signs in his first probe, and nothing from Chen Shangliang?

It was only on his second probe that Yang Tian discovered Chen Shangliang lying inside the ice bed.

This situation had only one explanation: Chen Shangliang was already dead.

"He has no life signs."

Yang Tian ran his Divine Sense probing inside Chen Shangliang, unable to feel any signs of life.

"My second brother has no life signs? He's dead?"

Chen Shangzheng stepped forward, meticulously examining Chen Shangliang, his expression growing more shocked: "Indeed, no life signs, the entire corpse is stiff, covered with livor mortis... but how did my brother die?"

"Not sure, but there's Demon Breath inside him too."

Yang Tian said.

"Demon Breath inside him too? Could the Corpse Demon have already acted?"

Chen Shangzheng nervously looked around.

"There is no Corpse Demon here."

Yang Tian said calmly.

"Then, has the Corpse Demon already drained my second brother's Demon Fiend bloodline?"

Chen Shangzheng asked intensely.

Yang Tian did not respond.

In such a situation, that seemed to be the only explanation.

Yet, looking at the corpses of both the youth and Chen Shangliang, Yang Tian's heart was still full of doubt.

He vaguely felt that something was not right.

Whoosh!

Yang Tian unleashed a Spirit Talisman, transforming into a Talisman Blade, cutting open the wrists of both the youth and Chen Shangliang, where two streams of putrid blood flowed from the corpses.

"The Corpse Demon did not drain their Demon Fiend bloodline, there's still blood inside them, just that it's already rotted black!"

Yang Tian said.

"So this means they weren't killed by the Corpse Demon? But why do they have Demon Breath on them? Why are they lying here?"

Chen Shangzheng asked intently.

His complexion grew increasingly pale.

Because he felt the situation was more complex than it appeared.

Yang Tian did not answer Chen Shangzheng's question but instead stretched out his hand, grasping the youth's arm, running his Divine Sense probe, suddenly he smirked subtly.

"Tian, what did you find?"

Seeing Yang Tian's expression, Chen Shangzheng hurriedly asked.

Thunk!

Yang Tian concentrated Spiritual Breath in his palm, pouring it over the bodies of the two corpses.

Instantly, numerous blood-red needles emerged over the bodies of the youth and Chen Shangliang.

Terrifyingly dense, these needles were tightly packed.

Chen Shangzheng's scalp tingled all over, he asked intensely: "Tian, what on earth is happening?"

"If I'm not mistaken, your second brother, Chen Shangliang is not dead yet."

Yang Tian said.

"Second brother isn't dead?" Chen Shangzheng was startled; he stepped forward, intently examining Chen Shangliang's body, then said intensely: "But my second brother's body is already blackened and there's no sign of life!"

Yang Tian laughed coldly, waved a Spirit Talisman, hitting the youth's corpse.

As the Spirit Talisman quickly burned up.

Then, a shouted voice burst from within the youth's corpse: "Yang Tian, you're courting death!!!"

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Shangzheng's face drastically changed: "My goodness, why is my brother's voice coming from his son's corpse?"
