Chapter 74: Her things were stained by someone else

As if recalling the bloody scene from before, the young man's body trembled uncontrollably.

He quivered his lips and said, "It was too scary, the scene was so eerie and gave me goosebumps!"

"When Xiao Mei died, she wasn't wearing any clothes," a male member of the exploration and supernatural team spoke up.

Not far away, Du Changheng's cheek muscles twitched when he heard this, and he secretly glared at the speaker.

"Afterward, did you see anything?" Qiao Jiu asked, approaching the two members with her eyes fixed on them.

Precision cutting equipment? How could there be such a thing in the deep mountains and old forests? It was either premeditated or the work of some evil spirit.

Despair appeared on the faces of the exploration and supernatural team members.

The first young male member who had spoken up said, "When Xiao Mei died, we were so scared that we wanted to leave this place, but no matter how far we walked, we always ended up back at this deserted temple when night fell."

"When Xiao Mei died, she was with Changheng. Did you notice anything off about her?" Ling Xiaoxuan asked, her eyes fixed on Du Changheng.

Although she had been comforting her female teammate in her arms, she had also been paying attention to the events that had unfolded.

Upon hearing this, Du Changheng's face became even paler.

Trembling, he anxiously replied, "No, she was fine, just like before!"

His sharp tone revealed his nervousness.

Ling Xiaoxuan tried to soothe him with a smile, "I'm just asking. Look how nervous you are. Where's Xiaomei's body?"

"It's gone," replied the female team member in her arms.

Her expression was blank, and her gaze was fixed on Du Changheng.

Suddenly, a malicious smile appeared on her face.

"Xiaoxuan, do you know that Du Changheng is not a good person at all? He was always hanging out with Xiaomei. That night, he was fooling around with her behind the temple, doing that thing that led to her death!"

As soon as she spoke, everyone's attention turned to Ling Xiaoxuan and Du Changheng.

The bodyguards from the Ling family glared at Du Changheng, wishing they could press him to the ground and rough him up.

Ling Xiaoxuan frowned and looked at Du Changheng, who hung his head, unable to tell if his expression was one of guilt or regret.

She opened her mouth to say something but eventually closed it again, her face showing hesitation.

When the male team member spoke earlier about Xiaomei being with Du Changheng when she died and not wearing any clothes, Ling Xiaoxuan had already had a feeling that something wasn't right.

Hearing it spoken so plainly, even though she was mentally prepared, her emotions were still slightly disturbed.

It wasn't a heart-wrenching feeling, but rather a feeling of discomfort, like something that belonged to her had been dirtied by someone else.

Qin Ruan had been watching Ling Xiaoxuan closely, relieved to see that she didn't seem too shaken.

She walked up to the female team member and raised her lips in a smile, asking, "You said Xiaomei's body disappeared?"

"Yes. After she died, we were scared and packed up to leave. We didn't think to take her body with us. But that night, we came back to the deserted temple to check on her body, and it was gone. Not only that, but even the bloodstains on the ground had disappeared."

The celestial masters who knew the general situation began to discuss.

"Evil spirits often lurk in the mountains, and the Qishan area is steep and remote, with few people. If they discover human presence, it's possible that they could be brutally slaughtered."

"Cutting the prey into perfect pieces doesn't seem like something an evil spirit would do. It's too much effort for them."

Mischievous spirits are usually crude and wild, like beasts in their rage.
