Chapter 527: Corpse Controlling Bell

Liu Suiyue finally understood what Chen Yu was going to do; she hurriedly retreated several steps, covering her face with both hands.

Unfortunately, her strength was far inferior to Chen Yu's, and Chen Yu's grab was merely a feint; he immediately pointed his right hand, and a Talisman Paper suddenly burned to ashes in mid-air, then transformed into a streak of yellow light.

As the yellow light emitted a faint glow, Liu Suiyue let out a sharp scream, and a wisp of green smoke rose from her face.

Her face, which had originally looked delicate enough to be broken by a breeze, had its skin torn open by this glow; a moment later, her Corpse Illusion Technique was broken by the glow, revealing her true appearance.

A gray, withered face with bulging veins on the forehead; her incredibly ugly features made her look terrifying.

She hurriedly covered her face with one sleeve; being forced to reveal her true form by Chen Yu twice in a row left Liu Suiyue filled with resentment.

She shrieked, "Chen Yu, just you wait. One day, I will kill you, drink your blood, and eat your flesh."

Liu Suiyue turned and stepped forward rapidly, disappearing without a trace a moment later, but as she left, the bells on her wrists jingled—this was the Corpse Controlling Bell.

Where the Corpse Controlling Bell rings, there must be a Living Corpse; Chen Yu turned his head, and sure enough, more than twenty shadows were slowly surging from the street corner.

These shadows moved sluggishly with stumbling steps, and they had blood-red Talismans stuck to their bodies as they surged toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu grabbed with his right hand, drawing his sword, and then rapidly dashed forward; his figure flashed, turning into an afterimage as he rushed to meet this group of Walking Corpses.

The afterimage swept across the scene, and Chen Yu appeared behind the group of Walking Corpses; he slowly put away his phone, and a moment later, the sword in his hand slowly vanished.

When Chen Yu turned back, he saw that a wound had appeared on each of the Walking Corpses behind him, and a crimson light was congealing at the edges of these wounds.

Silent roars emanated from the mouths of these Walking Corpses; they struggled violently, and a moment later, their wounds burst open, turning into clumps of ashes and disappearing completely.

A cold wind blew, and the Walking Corpses at the scene vanished entirely; Chen Yu stared at where they had been, and suddenly, his heart skipped a beat as he secretly thought, "Not good." Liu Suiyue's purpose in coming here was to stall him.

Since He Fanzhou wanted to make a move against He Lingyun, he must have prepared more than one plan; was He Lingyun in danger now?

Thinking of this, Chen Yu turned around quickly and simultaneously dialed Mu Xi's number.

The phone rang only once before Mu Xi answered: "Chen Yu, be careful, someone is coming for you."

"I know, the other party has already run away. How are you all?" Chen Yu asked.

"We are fine, we have already transferred to a safe location. I will send you the coordinates later," Mu Xi said.

"Good." Chen Yu finally felt a sense of relief; as long as He Lingyun was not in danger, it was fine.

A moment later, a location was sent to Chen Yu's phone; Chen Yu took a look and then hurried toward that location.

A villa—this place was a stronghold Mu Xi had prepared long ago; whenever there was danger, she and He Lingyun would transfer to this place.

This place leaned against a mountain and faced water; when Chen Yu arrived, He Lingyun had already transferred over.

"Xiaoyu, are you alright?" He Lingyun's expression relaxed when she saw Chen Yu.

"I'm fine. Who made the move?" Chen Yu asked.

"It's not clear yet. The He Family, or perhaps a competitor," He Lingyun said. "Or it could be an extremist organization from abroad; there are simply too many suspects."

Chen Yu felt somewhat conflicted; what kind of life did He Lingyun lead every day?

"Sister, all the information on Zhou Jihai is here; we can't find any problems," Mu Xi walked over, holding a thick stack of documents in her hand.

"Are there no flaws at all?" He Lingyun's expression tightened slightly.

"None. If his father were still alive, perhaps we could find out what happened back then, but I'm afraid that's not possible now; Zhou Jihai seems to know nothing about the events of that year," Mu Xi said.

When Mu Xi said this, she paused and said coldly, "If it is, it doesn't matter what happened back then; you only need to know that she is your mother, and you are her son—nothing more."

He Lingyun's gaze dimmed, and she murmured, "Is all of this fate?"

"We have to return to Jing; your eldest brother has caused quite a stir in Shengjing. If we don't go back, I'm afraid he's going to turn everything upside down," Mu Xi said.

"We'll go back tomorrow." He Lingyun closed her eyes. "But this trip to Ning City can be considered a wasted journey."

"Actually..." Mu Xi looked at Chen Yu, then at He Lingyun, hesitating to speak.

"If you have something to say, just say it. We've been sisters for so many years, and Xiaoyu is not an outsider," He Lingyun said, looking at her.

"It's nothing." Mu Xi gave a bitter smile. "We're going back tomorrow; I'll go prepare."

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first," Chen Yu said, feeling somewhat reluctant.

"Child, when are you going to Shengjing?" He Lingyun asked.

"After I finish the business in Ning City, I'll go. The father of a close female friend died an unnatural death, and the murderer is in the mountains of Ning City; once I kill him, I'll head to Shengjing," Chen Yu smiled. "It won't be too long."

"Then you must be careful," He Lingyun said, holding Chen Yu's hand. "I will wait for you in Shengjing."

Chen Yu nodded heavily, feeling very unsettled inside.

After confirming that He Lingyun was safe, Chen Yu felt at ease; he stayed there for a while before leaving.

Just as he exited the villa gate, a fiery red Ferrari drove over and stopped with a 'whoosh' beside Chen Yu.

"Get in," Mu Xi said to Chen Yu after rolling down the window.

Chen Yu got into the car; Mu Xi didn't say a word, slammed on the accelerator, and the car sped forward.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yu asked.

"I just took a bit of her blood; now I'm taking you to get a DNA test. The results will be out soon, and we'll watch from the side," Mu Xi said through gritted teeth. "If the relationship between you and her isn't cleared up, I won't be able to sleep at night."

"Now?" Chen Yu was startled.

"That's right, now," Mu Xi glanced at Chen Yu and said, "Don't you want to figure out the relationship between you and her?"

Chen Yu fell into Silence; to be honest, he was a little afraid.

Although he felt that sense of kinship thicker than water with He Lingyun, truthfully, he didn't know what their relationship really was.

The last test had already shown that the two had no relationship at all; although Chen Yu felt there was a problem with that report, he had never had the courage to try a second time.

What if the result this time was still unsatisfactory?

"Are you afraid?" Mu Xi guessed Chen Yu's thoughts.

"I am a bit nervous." Chen Yu hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly. "I'm afraid that the result of the test will be that we have no relationship at all."

"But the first time I saw her, I had that feeling of kinship thicker than water; I believe in my intuition, it can't be wrong."

"Then what are you afraid of? It's nothing more than a test result. I will watch the test with my own eyes to solve the mystery in everyone's hearts. If it's not, everyone can be at peace; if it is..."
