"What do you want with me by bringing me to Guanxian? Let me tell you, I know nothing about it. The Dong family is not to be trifled with!"

He had just called Dong Yuxin an idiot, and he immediately demonstrated his stupidity to the fullest extent. Ma Xiaoling, who was standing next to him, couldn't even be bothered to respond to him.

"Dong Yuxin, you have taken it upon yourself to remove the water-suppressing mythical beast from the museum beneath Tianfu Square. Do you know your crime?"

At this moment, reminded by Wu Xie, Zhao Haijiang finally came to his senses. He walked step by step to Dong Yuxin and asked, word by word, his tone serious and heavy.

Dong Yuxin had met Zhao Haijiang.

The discovery of the water-suppressing mythical beast caused quite a stir, with various factions vying for a share. Zhao Haijiang, as the instructor of the Rongcheng restricted area, even personally visited the museum.

Given Dong Yuxin's status, he was naturally not qualified to speak with Zhao Haijiang, although the curator had mentioned Zhao Haijiang's identity to him.

Dong Yuxin never imagined that one day she would directly confront the instructor of the Rongcheng restricted area.

At that moment, he finally began to feel afraid.

The fact that the instructor of the restricted area personally came forward meant something that Dong Yuxin knew very well.

In particular, the fact that Zhao Haijiang didn't say a single unnecessary word and immediately asked about the relocation of the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast already revealed a lot.

Moreover, they are currently still within the territory of Guanxian County.

The leaders of the restricted area personally came to Guanxian and were with Master Qingfeng and his group. How could Dong Yuxin not be afraid?

"Instructor Zhao... Instructor Zhao, hello!"

After hesitating for a while, Dong Yuxin finally managed to squeeze out these words.

"Dong Yuxin, let's not waste any more time here. This is Guanxian County. Although it's considered your Dong family's territory, the security zone has already surrounded the entire county. I guarantee that not even a fly can get out."

In this situation, are you sure you still want to talk to me like this?

Knowing that Wang Ye and the others wanted to know the exact location of the Dong family's guardian beast, Zhao Haijiang's attitude towards Dong Yuxin's soul was extremely resolute.

The curtains were drawn back, and the sight of soldiers standing in neat rows outside instantly captivated Dong Yuxin.

"I remember my dad came to pick me up from the hospital, but where is he?"

Finally remembering something else important, Dong Yuxin asked Dong Feng about it.

He didn't dare answer Zhao Haijiang's question immediately, only wanting to use Dong Feng as an excuse to escape.

"Dong Feng has confessed to some things, but he can't withstand our interrogation. He's still unconscious, so don't count on him. Just answer our questions obediently."

You should know that the power of your bloodline is awakening within you. Although your soul cannot return to your body temporarily, your physical body will not stop the awakening of your bloodline just because your soul is not there. Just a friendly reminder, some time has passed since your soul was extracted. Are you sure you still want to keep the secret of the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast hidden forever?

I can't guarantee what your physical body will eventually become!

Wang Ye reminded Dong Yuxin, his tone full of sarcasm.

What is Dong Feng, a mere nobody?

Dong Yuxin's idea of ​​using Dong Feng to suppress them is simply wishful thinking!
"Who...are you?"

Even in his soul form, Dong Yuxin's face was extremely pale. He didn't look at Zhao Haijiang, but stared at Wang Ye and the others, asking in a trembling voice.

"The Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation!"

"So they were from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau!"

Dong Yuxin suddenly realized that the Cultural Relics Bureau always fully cooperated with the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau in handling matters.

The curator kept mentioning the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau, but Dong Yuxin didn't take it seriously. This was because he knew that the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau had always been active in Jiang Province, and the Xichuan region was far away from Jiang Province. Even if the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau had some internal problems, it wouldn't have to extend its reach so far as to interfere in the affairs of the Xichuan region.

Even though there were some wild speculations online about the continuous torrential rain in the Xichuan area, including some that it was related to a water-suppressing mythical beast, these were all suppressed to ensure that they would not attract more attention online.

Dong Yuxin truly didn't expect that the people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau had already intervened, and even the restricted area had gotten involved.

Perhaps, only now does Dong Yuxin truly understand that the Dong family is inescapable of this calamity.

"The water-suppressing divine beast was indeed moved away by us, but I don't know what happened after that. The four major families acted together, and I was only in charge of the initial tasks. They won't tell me any more information."

Finally speaking, Dong Yuxin seemed to have lost all her strength, and she appeared dejected and listless.

"Where is the water-suppressing divine beast? I'm asking where the Dong family's water-suppressing divine beast is!"

Dong Feng has already explained all of the above. Now, this is the question that Wang Ye and the others are most eager to know.

"I...I don't know. Only the patriarch and a few elders know the location of the water-suppressing divine beast. My bloodline hasn't fully awakened yet, so I'm not qualified to know more about the Dong family!"

Dong Yuxin shook his head in a panic. His attitude became very strange whenever the Dong family's water-suppressing mythical beast was mentioned.

His reasoning was plausible, but the key point was that his flustered demeanor made it seem as if he knew something.

"Never mind if we don't know. Anyway, with the blood of the Dong family, we can find the location of the water-suppressing divine beast. At worst, we'll just have to bleed a little more. Since Dong Yuxin's soul isn't in his body right now, he can't feel the pain in his physical body. We can just have the doctor give him more blood. We won't let his physical body really die!"

Since the soul cannot feel the pain of the physical body, Wu Xie said that on purpose.

Upon hearing about bloodletting, Dong Yuxin's soul trembled; he was terrified.

Wang Ye and Wu Xie exchanged a glance, both seeing a satisfied expression on each other's faces.

With Dong Yuxin's appearance, does she really think she can outsmart them?
Before this, Wu Xie had heard Xu Yuyi say that among the people who protect the family, there are very few who can truly awaken their bloodline power; not everyone is qualified.

Another point is that people who have awakened their bloodline power should avoid blood transfusions as much as possible, because once blood is transfused by an external force, their bloodline power will be weakened.

Even though Dong Yuxin's soul is not in her body now, she will not stand idly by and watch her body be bled out and then transfused to weaken her bloodline power.

If that's the case, even if his soul can return to his body later, it won't be of much use, since the power of his bloodline has likely been completely lost.

How could he possibly agree to that?

"There's something under the Dong family ancestral hall, but whether it's a water-suppressing mythical beast, I don't know!"

What could Dong Yuxin do?

Unless he truly wants to become an ordinary person, he must preserve his physical body and prevent the power of his bloodline from disappearing.

“I once saw the head of the family walk into the ancestral hall. I don’t know what he did inside, but he suddenly disappeared. It was a long time before he reappeared in the ancestral hall.”

The patriarch once said that the ancestral hall holds the most important possessions of the Dong family. The Dong family can lose everything, but the ancestral hall must be protected!

It was precisely because the head of the Dong family had said such a thing that Dong Yuxin remembered it so clearly.

He boldly speculated that the water-suppressing mythical beast guarded by the Dong family was buried beneath the Dong family ancestral hall.

This is why the Dong Family Ancestral Hall was built on top of the water-suppressing mythical beast, thus receiving its protection. Moreover, no one would dare to disturb an ancestral hall, making the water-suppressing mythical beast below the safest place.

It has to be said that, in this respect alone, the Dong family did much better than the Xu family. The Xu family fell so low that they couldn't even protect the land where the water-suppressing divine beast was located, and in the end, only Xu Yuyi was left, which is quite tragic.

Dong Yuxin's words immediately energized Wu Xie and the others.

Although Zhao Haijiang didn't know much, he was aware of the importance of the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast. He hadn't forgotten that Wang Ye and the others had confirmed that the torrential rains in the Xichuan region were caused by a problem with the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast. Although the problem had been resolved, it was said that there were still significant hidden dangers that needed to be completely eliminated by the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau.

Now, the Dong family's water-suppressing beast is located below the Dong family ancestral hall. What do Wang Ye and the others plan to do next?

"Comrade Wang Ye, what do you think about us moving directly into the Dong family's residence under the guise of a restricted area and turning their ancestral hall upside down?"

After all, the matter of the water-suppressing divine beast is of great importance, and we can't waste time here forever.

In Zhao Haijiang's view, the problem could be solved as long as the water-suppressing mythical beast was found.

As soon as he said this, the others looked over, their eyes wide, seemingly never expecting that such a thing could be done.

"Since the Dong family has already broken the law, we can't possibly make peace with them. Using violence to resolve this quickly might not be a bad idea!"

Just because we haven't done it before doesn't mean we can't do it now.

Master Qingfeng was the first to react and nodded in approval of Zhao Haijiang's decision.

"In that case, please make arrangements, Instructor Zhao, we'll sneak into the Dong family's house tonight!"

Although Guanxian has been surrounded, some procedures still need to be followed.

"Instructor, the Dong family has sent people over!"

Outside the office, Gao Yuanda's urgent voice suddenly rang out. He hadn't even waited to see Zhao Haijiang before calling out, and he was still at the office door when he arrived.

Have people from the Dong family arrived?
Are they planning to strike first?
At that very moment, the same thought popped into the minds of several people present.

Gao Yuanda pushed open the office door.

"What did the Dong family say?"

Zhao Haijiang asked first.

All eyes were on Gao Yuanda. He unconsciously swallowed hard. The pressure was really immense!

"The people from the Dong family were talking about the water-suppressing mythical beast beneath Tianfu Square."

They explained that Dong Feng was a passionate collector of cultural relics who coveted the water-suppressing mythical beast and wanted to possess it. Dong Yuxin, as Dong Feng's son, helped his father with this task.

They created a fake water-suppressing mythical beast and placed it in a museum, while the real one was moved to the Dong family's residence.

To atone for the mistakes made by Dong Feng and his son, the Dong family is willing to accept all punishment and make compensation…

In the office, besides these people, there was also Dong Yuxin's spirit, who heard Gao Yuanda's words clearly.

Without much thought, he understood that the Dong family was abandoning him and his father in order to save the king.

This practice is actually quite common in large families, but that's because the knife hasn't fallen on them yet.

If it were you, who could truly accept such an arrangement without caring?

Dong Yuxin dared not think too deeply about what would happen to her after becoming an outcast of her family and no longer receiving their protection.

Even now, his family can no longer protect him.

Compared to being abandoned, he was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"The Dong family really knows how to get things done! Instructor Zhao, let's go straight to the Dong family's place and not give them a chance to move anyone or anything!"

Ma Xiaoling laughed.

She had never seen any family so shameless. Even after all this, they still wanted to deceive everyone.
Xu Yuyi is here, so all those things the Dong family denies are useless.

Once you see the water-suppressing divine beast guarding the Dong family, you'll know what's going on.

"I'll make arrangements right away!"

After Gao Yuanda revealed the Dong family's intentions, Zhao Haijiang knew that their previous decision could now be implemented, which is why he gave the order to Gao Yuanda.

"Jingle Bell--"

Ma Xiaoling's phone rang.

"Hey, Tongyu? Are you guys coming now?"

"Okay, we'll wait for you at the Dong family's gate!"

The person on the other end of the phone said something, and Ma Xiaoling nodded in response.

Is Shen Tongyu coming too?

The members of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau were all wondering if the Dong family was hiding some other secret. Otherwise, why would even Shen Tongyu have been sent here?

After hanging up the phone, Ma Xiaoling glanced at the others.

She knew in her heart that those who were supposed to hear her conversation with Shen Tongyu had already heard it.

"Shen Tongyu brought someone with her, and they'll be arriving in Guanxian soon. Since we're going to the Dong family anyway, let's just wait for them there!"

Over the phone, Shen Tongyu didn't explain the situation in detail, only saying that the bureau chief had asked her to bring someone over, saying it would be of great help to the normal investigation work here.

We'll have to wait until we meet the person to find out more.

"Are there other survivors from the Xu family?"

Wu Xie subconsciously thought of this and suspected that the people Shen Tongyu brought might be related to the Xu family.

Now, apart from the Xu family, the other four families have clearly united and are on the same side. After much thought, the only remaining family that understands the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast and can offer assistance is the Xu family.

"Is that really possible? Xu Yuyi said before that he sensed that his parents had passed away, and the news from Dong Feng and Dong Yuxin also confirmed this."

The Xu family should be extinct!

Wang Ye disagreed with Wu Xie's idea. As a member of the Xu family, Xu Yuyi was capable of sensing the presence of his blood relatives. If anyone in the Xu family were still alive, Xu Yuyi couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

"Once Shen Tongyu and the others arrive, we'll know what's going on."

Since the Dong family has already given instructions to Instructor Zhao, let's not waste any more time and go straight there!

Master Qingfeng stepped forward and made the decision. (End of Chapter)
