386: Chapter 386 [Who Touched My Hand] Second Update!
The second update!
“Ye Chenfeng, what do you mean by this?” the masked man couldn’t help but ask.
Ye Chenfeng shook his head with a smile, looking at him as if he were looking at a fool, “What do you think?
You’re still trying to act cool with me, we knew from the beginning that the Chu Qingxue sisters were fake!”
“Impossible, how could you know?” the masked man revealed a look of deep disbelief in his eyes.
Ye Chenfeng did not say a word, he only exchanged glances with Ouyang Qingcheng.
That’s right, from the beginning, even Ouyang Qingcheng knew that the Chu Qingxue sisters were fake.
It wasn’t for any reason, it was just because that night, Ye Chenfeng had left hickey marks on their necks that couldn’t be wiped off, and could only fade away with time, but so far the hickey marks on Ouyang Qingcheng were still there, so naturally, those on the Chu Qingxue sisters wouldn’t have disappeared either.
However, the suddenly appeared Chu Qingxue sisters had none on their necks, so Ouyang Qingcheng determined that the two were impostors, and she was amazed that Ye Chenfeng had made such preparations in advance.
Actually, Ye Chenfeng was puzzled, wondering who the woman that appeared in the lake that night was, as she wasn’t there to scare him but to remind him.
In fact, Ye Chenfeng didn’t need the hickey marks to know they were fake.
In the Zen Temple, the Chu Qingxue sisters were protected by an old monk, and even he himself might not be able to defeat the old monk, let alone others being able to snatch the sisters from the old monk’s hands.
“Impossible, this is the Face-changing Technique of the Miao people, how could you possibly recognize it?” The man seemed to have fallen into a trance.
Ye Chenfeng let out a cold laugh, “Did I ever say I recognized them from the surface?
Idiot!”
“Boom!”
Before his words fell, Ye Chenfeng turned his palm into a knife and chopped down.
The sharp palm was like a knife, raising a sharp whistling sound.
“Snap!”
The man, caught off guard, was struck on the shoulder, emitting a crack of bone fracture.
“Hiss!”
But he also pulled out a long knife suddenly and thrust it forward.
Indeed, it caused Ye Chenfeng to break out in a cold sweat, but Ye Chenfeng moved fast as lightning, and the long knife merely grazed his belly.
“What a fast knife!” Ye Chenfeng revealed a hint of admiration in his eyes.
“Thanks for the compliment!”
“Too bad it’s still not enough!”
Ye Chenfeng snorted coldly and immediately rushed forward, attacking like a violent storm.
On the other side, Bai Jie, with two of her men, was fighting fiercely with the fake Chu Qingxue sisters.
“Bang!”
Ye Chenfeng’s moves were swift as the wind, and a whip leg hit the man, wounding him.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
Suddenly, the guy threw out a handful of hidden weapons, which were not meant to attack the people, but the flashlights in the hands of Bai Jie and her men.
Under his attack, the flashlights broke one after another.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng coming to kill, the man did a roll on the ground and pressed a mechanism on the wall.
The stone gate thunderously opened, and he darted out.
Ye Chenfeng did not chase after him but turned his gaze to the side where Bai Jie and her two men had subdued the fake Chu Qingxue sisters.
Ye Chenfeng observed for a moment before tearing the masks off the faces of the two people, shining the only flashlight he held directly onto their faces, immediately revealing the strangers’ features to everyone.
“Kill them!” Ye Chenfeng said icily, his disdain for those who used or threatened him clear.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qingcheng’s subordinates did not hesitate to swing their butcher knives, and blood spurted out instantly.
“Now everyone must be on alert, gather around me, that person might be lurking in the shadows!”
Ye Chenfeng led the way, silently watching his surroundings.
The only flashlight emitted a faint light, illuminating the path ahead.
Perhaps due to that person’s presence, the journey was surprisingly safe, but the observant Ye Chenfeng noticed several signs of struggle along the way.
However, everyone felt an increasing heaviness in their hearts; a desolate, mournful spirit slowly permeated the air, indescribably eerie.
Soon after, the group arrived at the center of the Underground Palace, which appeared to be a circular plaza, as large as four football fields combined.
They could now see, there were entrances from other directions; in other words, there were dozens of pathways leading to this circular plaza.
An overwhelming resentment spread from the center outward, chilling to the bone and causing goosebumps.
In the center of the area, there was a huge grinding stone with a radius of ten meters, consisting of four layers with interlocking fissures, and a large groove in the middle.
The structure of the grinding stone was similar to a traditional mill used in rural areas to grind beans, but it was much larger in scale; ordinary mills grind beans, but this one seemingly ground people.
Around the edge of the mill were protruding stone pillars, upon which iron chains as thick as a baby’s arm were cast.
These chains, having been left there for who knows how many years, were covered in rust.
Beside the chains lay skeletons that, by their appearance, were clearly animal bones – likely belonging to the animals that used to operate the mill.
Moreover, grooves connected to the mill had long dried up, yet traces of fresh blood were left behind, undoubtedly from the blood that flowed out while grinding humans in the past.
Looking at the terrifying scene before them, everyone imagined the horrific scenes that must have occurred here.
Although the light from the flashlight was very faint, they could still roughly see.
“There must be something below!
We must be getting close to the very center!” Ye Chenfeng furrowed his brows and said.
“Look, isn’t that the Thief’s Compass?” Suddenly, Bai Jie pointed in a direction and spoke.
The group shone their flashlight in that direction, only to see the Thief’s Compass lying quietly not far away, but it was already split in two, the pointer nowhere to be found.
“The Thief and your brother must have run into trouble!” Ouyang Qingcheng frowned.
Ye Chenfeng pursed his lips, also sensing something eerie about the place.
The little single dog in his arms began to tremble involuntarily, this little creature, never before intimidated, was now frightened.
Apart from this feeling, Ye Chenfeng also had a familiar sensation, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.
“Boyfriend, why are you touching my hand?
And tickling me at that!
Teehee…” Ouyang Qingcheng chuckled softly, puzzled.
“Touching your hand?
I’m several meters away from you.
My arms aren’t that long!” Ye Chenfeng responded instinctively.
However, suddenly realizing something, Ye Chenfeng’s face turned to horror, not just his, the faces of the others became extremely sinister, their blood running cold, hair standing on end.
Because there was only one flashlight, Ouyang Qingcheng and the others were in darkness, unable to see their surroundings clearly.
“There is indeed someone touching my hand!” Ouyang Qingcheng said with certainty.
“Master, they touched me too!”
“They touched me too!
Right next to me!”
Ouyang Qingcheng’s subordinates, who had been silent from the beginning, now all cried out in terror.
Without hesitation, Ye Chenfeng swung the flashlight their way.
