"I choose to enter the bodies of the Dong family members to find their souls!"

The head of the family was clearly beyond redemption, and Dong Yuxin knew she had no other choice, so she jumped back onto the head of that person in the Dong family and waited for Hu Jiu'er to do something.

Hu Jiu'er watched Dong Yuxin's choice with satisfaction, then made a hand seal and chanted an incantation. Dong Yuxin's soul was instantly extracted from the paper figure, and before she even had a chance to resist, it entered another body.

Dong Yuxin slowly opened her eyes, and after adjusting to the light for a while, she sprang to her feet.

He strode up to Shen Tongyu, already realizing that Shen Tongyu was the one truly making the decisions among this group. So, he looked directly into Shen Tongyu's eyes and solemnly promised, word by word, "Comrades, leave the rest to me!"

Shen Tongyu nodded slightly and said, "Judging from the current situation, you are a smart person. It's not too late for you to realize your mistake and turn back."

We're leaving soon, but the water-suppressing beast can hold out for a while longer. In the meantime, you can make your own decision. However, whatever decision you ultimately make, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself.

This place will be temporarily sealed off until we return.

"Dong Yuxin, your physical body is still in our hands. You're merely using someone else's body right now. Although this body doesn't reject your soul for now, over time, the soul and body will definitely develop a rejection reaction."

Having said that, Shen Tongyu stopped talking, believing that Dong Yuxin would understand what she meant.

There wasn't a single threat in those words; they seemed to respect Dong Yuxin's choice, but in reality, every word was a reminder and warning that he only had one path to take.

Dong Yuxin gave a helpless, bitter smile and said, "I know, I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

Although Shen Tongyu didn't mention when they would return, Dong Yuxin knew in her heart that they would definitely return before the water-suppressing divine beast was completely shrouded in black lines.

If the Dong family makes a different choice than Shen Tongyu and the others had envisioned, they will definitely take action, on the one hand to eliminate the Dong family members, and on the other hand to completely purify the water-suppressing divine beast.

A thought suddenly flashed through Dong Yuxin's mind: After so many years, why did the Dong family and the other three families of extraordinary people only think of using the Xu family's water-suppressing beast to repair their own water-suppressing beasts that had problems?

Also, how did the water-suppressing mythical beast become what it is now?
The suddenly appearing black lines, layer upon layer, corrupted the water-suppressing divine beast.

Why did this change occur?

Haven't the heads of these extraordinary families ever thought about this question?

The more Dong Yuxin thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she dared not think any further.

"What right do you have to make decisions on behalf of the Dong family? You traitor to the Dong family!"

The head of the Dong family heard Shen Tongyu and Dong Yuxin's conversation clearly. He was immediately anxious and angry, and shouted at Dong Yuxin.

Unfortunately, he was bound and unable to struggle at all, only able to roar in vain.

"I believe you know how to handle the matter concerning the head of the Dong family."

Shen Tongyu's lips curled up. Although she spoke to Dong Yuxin, her gaze fell on the head of the Dong family. As she spoke, she gently touched the white flower.

The white flower transformed again, shrinking into a single bloom, and floated around the head of the Dong family.

Seeing that he had regained his freedom and that Bai Hua was no longer binding him, the head of the Dong family subconsciously pushed out a palm towards Dong Yuxin.

He wanted Dong Yuxin dead, and he wanted her soul to be scattered to the winds!

The moment he unleashed his palm strike, the white flower burst into his body.

In an instant, the head of the Dong family went limp, all the power in his body was instantly drained, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

"What...what's going on?"

The head of the Dong family lay motionless on the ground, and a look of terror finally appeared on his face.

"To avoid some trouble, the power within you has been temporarily sealed. Patriarch Dong, good luck, and I look forward to the day we meet again!"

Shen Tongyu waved to the head of the Dong family, looking casual, as if she had just remarked on the nice weather.

"let's go!"

Shen Tongyu nodded to Hu Jiu'er and Ma Xiaoling, and took the lead in walking outside.

Hu Jiu'er helped Xu Yuyi, and Ma Xiaoling followed Shen Tongyu. The four of them walked briskly outside.

Outside the Dong Family Ancestral Hall.

Gao Yuanda had already learned that the Dong family head they had captured was actually just a puppet, and the real Dong family head had been in the ancestral hall all along, going down with the people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau to find the water-suppressing divine beast.

Of course, Zhao Haijiang explained all of this to Gao Yuanda after Wu Xie and the others came up.

After saying goodbye to Gao Yuanda, Wu Xie and his group left.

"Manager, is there really another water-suppressing divine beast down there?"

Even though Gao Yuanda knew Zhao Haijiang and the others wouldn't lie to him, he couldn't help asking again and again. There was no other way; if he told anyone, no one would believe him!
"It's true. The other comrades should be up soon. We should also be prepared; there are supposedly many people lying down there whose souls have been extracted. If necessary, we'll have to send them to the hospital first!"

Zhao Haijiang nodded solemnly. Other matters might be a matter for jokes, but when it came to the Dong family and the water-suppressing divine beast, they had to take it seriously and could not afford to be careless in the slightest.

"Reporting to the leader, our people are ready at any time!"

Gao Yuanda stood at attention and saluted, his face equally serious and earnest.

They remained on high alert, never overlooking anything suspicious.

"No need for that trouble, Captain Gao. Just leave a platoon here to guard it. From now on, the Dong Family Ancestral Hall is a restricted area. No one is allowed to approach it!"

Shen Tongyu's voice drifted over, serious and carrying an unquestionable sense of command.

Zhao Haijiang and Gao Yuanda both turned their gazes toward the ancestral hall.

Shen Tongyu, Ma Xiaoling, and Hu Jiu'er were seen helping Xu Yuyi slowly walk out of the ancestral hall.

"Comrade Shen... has everything been taken care of?"

Zhao Haijiang was the first to ask a question. They had only been up here a short time, and even Master Qingfeng had just left. How did Shen Tongyu and his group get here already?

How did the head of the Dong family resolve this?
There are so many Dong family members who are in a coma, are we just going to leave them like this?
Zhao Haijiang was filled with questions and couldn't figure it out. Of course, what he cared about most was the question of the water-suppressing divine beast.

Having witnessed the changes in the water-suppressing divine beast, he was truly worried that if this problem couldn't be solved, the Xichuan region might suffer another major disaster.

As the head of the Rongcheng branch, he had to consider the overall situation!

Although he asked the question, Zhao Haijiang was still a little uneasy, wondering if the result would be as he wished.

"It's not resolved yet. We'll seal this place off for now, so the people and other things inside can't get out. Once we've dealt with other matters, we'll naturally come back and resolve the issues here as well." Shen Tongyu understood Zhao Haijiang's concerns, nodded, softened her tone, and explained earnestly.

"I understand, I will do as Comrade Shen instructs."

With Shen Tongyu's words, Zhao Haijiang's heart, which had been pounding in his chest, finally began to settle. As long as the people below couldn't get up there, everything would be fine.

"Manager Zhao, I'm leaving everything here to you. You don't need to keep a close watch on things; a slightly looser approach is fine."

Shen Tongyu smiled faintly and said something to Zhao Haijiang that seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Before Zhao Haijiang could figure out the meaning of those words, Shen Tongyu took the lead and walked outside.

Watching their retreating figures, Zhao Haijiang stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "What exactly did Shen Tongyu mean by those last words?"

The voice was soft, as if talking to himself, or perhaps asking Gao Yuanda beside him.

"I think Shen Tongyu means that someone might be watching this place, and we need to give those with ill intentions a chance to come in. Comrade Shen and his team have probably already made all the arrangements, so we can catch them all in one fell swoop!"

Gao Yuanda heard Zhao Haijiang's words clearly. He didn't interrupt when Shen Tongyu and Zhao Haijiang were talking, but he still understood what Shen Tongyu specifically mentioned.

He believed that Zhao Haijiang must have heard it clearly, but he just needed a definite answer.

As a subordinate, Gao Yuanda was required to voice these speculations.

"Captain Gao, I'm leaving this to you. I trust you know what to do."

Zhao Haijiang nodded in satisfaction at Gao Yuanda's answer, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

Gao Yuanda understood Zhao Haijiang's meaning, immediately stood at attention and saluted, his expression serious.

-

Shen Tongyu led Ma Xiaoling and the others out of the Dong family's old house.

The soldiers at the company's branch office stood firm at their posts, guarding the area so tightly that not even a fly could get in.

Shen Tongyu arrived in a separate car, and they got into that car now.

"Let's go to Anjia first!"

Xu Yuyi hadn't been in good condition. While underground, he had been gritting his teeth and barely holding on. But once he got in the car, he couldn't take it anymore. He slumped in the back seat, said those words to Ma Xiaoling who was driving, then his head lolled to the side and he fell into a deep sleep.

"What's going on with him?"

Ma Xiaoling wasn't very familiar with Xu Yuyi. When she saw him faint after saying just one sentence, she was stunned and turned around to ask him a question.

“He has exhausted too much of his vital energy. In this state, going to the An family won't be of any help. Xiaoling, take Xu Yuyi to the company's branch hospital first, and you stay at the hospital to take care of him. Jiu'er and I will go to the An family. We'll keep in touch.”

Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen Tongyu frowned slightly upon seeing this scene. After thinking for a moment, she changed her original plan and explained to Ma Xiaoling.

Originally, Hu Jiu'er was supposed to stay and take care of Xu Yuyi, but Hu Jiu'er obviously knew more about these extraordinary families, so she had to leave the task of taking care of Xu Yuyi to Ma Xiaoling.

"I've cast a spell on Dong Yuxin's body; it won't be damaged until his soul returns. However, no one can guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen. I've already instructed Manager Zhao to send Dong Yuxin's body back to the company's branch hospital and freeze it in the morgue. Don't forget about this while Xiaoling is at the hospital. Of course, it depends on the situation. If anyone tries to cause trouble, you can handle it as you see fit. As long as the body isn't destroyed, everything else is fine."

Shen Tongyu seemed to have just remembered this matter, and casually gave a few more instructions.

Hu Jiu'er and Ma Xiaoling's lips twitched involuntarily a few times upon hearing her words.

Perhaps only Shen Tongyu could make this sound so easy.

Ma Xiaoling drove quite fast and soon left Guanxian. The two groups were heading in different directions, so after dropping Hu Jiu'er and Shen Tongyu off by the roadside, she drove away.

"Tongyu, are we just going to walk to the An family's house like this?"

Hu Jiu'er didn't quite understand Shen Tongyu's approach; walking there would be too far.

"Of course not, let's wait here for a while, someone will come to pick us up."

Faced with Hu Jiu'er's question, Shen Tongyu did not answer directly, but just gave a perfunctory reply.

The phone screen in her hand flickered, reflecting Shen Tongyu's unpleasant expression.

Sensing that Shen Tongyu seemed a little off, Hu Jiu'er, though filled with more questions, wisely kept quiet and didn't say another word.

Not long after, a black sedan sped up and slowly stopped as it approached Shen Tongyu and the others.

The driver's side door opened, and a young man in a black suit and tie got out of the car, walked around to Shen Tongyu, and said, "Patriarch, Shen Mengxi has come to report for duty. Please get in the car!"

He was clearly a man, but his name sounded rather feminine. After bowing to Shen Tongyu, the young man opened the back door of the car.

"Let's go!"

Shen Tongyu said something to Hu Jiu'er and got into the car first.

Shen Mengxi stood by the car door and waited for Hu Jiu'er to get in before closing the door and walking back to the driver's seat.

"Patriarch, we have already contacted the An family. The An family patriarch has prepared a banquet at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain and is looking forward to your arrival."

"Should we go there now, or does the patriarch have other plans?"

Shen Mengxi did not rush to start the car, but turned around and asked respectfully.

"Let's go to the Shen family's villa at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain first. I need to change my clothes. I'll leave the An family to wait."

After giving her instructions in a calm and unhurried manner, Shen Tongyu closed her eyes and began to rest.

Having received a reply, Shen Mengxi said nothing more, but started the car and drove off in another direction.

The car was moving at a considerable speed, yet there was no noticeable bump or jolt while sitting inside. Hu Jiu'er knew in her heart that this car must have undergone special modifications.

Hu Jiu'er never expected Shen Tongyu to pull such a stunt, and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, looking at him and then at herself.

The Hu family is quite prominent in Northeast China, but after she, a shaman, left the Northeast, she faced restrictions everywhere. The difference is simply incomparable!

However, Hu Jiu'er still had a big question in her mind: how could the head of an extraordinary family join the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau without anyone in the extraordinary family objecting?
She couldn't understand it at all, and was utterly shocked!
The car eventually stopped in the yard of a mountain villa.

As soon as the car came to a stop, someone opened the door, and a row of people stood in neat rows. After Shen Tongyu got out of the car, they bowed in unison: "Welcome home, Patriarch!" (End of this chapter)
