Dragon Blood Divine Son-in-law
Chapter 382: A Mistake!

Chapter 382: Chapter 382: A Mistake!

All of this had only happened in an instant, and it took a long while for everyone to finally recover from the shock.

Only after that did they belatedly realize what had just occurred.

Just then, the God of Death was only a step away from them!

Seeing the deep pit blasted out of the ground outside, they truly felt the power of the gigantic cake.

One could imagine, had Chen Xuan not acted in time just now, there would have been very few survivors in the entire hall!

He Yuwan was also frightened into tears.

The bomb just now was clearly aimed at the Young Prince!

Had Chen Xuan not discovered it in time, she and her son would probably be dead by now, how could she not be afraid!

Lei Tianzong was utterly furious.

To think of blowing up himself, his family, and so many innocent people here, the Rakshasa Marquis truly was ruthless and vicious!

"Rakshasa Marquis! Liu Mingkong! I, Lei Tianzong, am irreconcilably opposed to you!!"

A moment later, Chen Xuan walked back into the hall, where Lei Tianzong and everyone else greeted him with a bow.

"Many thanks to Chen Fengchuo for saving our lives!"

Chen Xuan’s expression was calm, "It was a minor effort, everyone is too kind."

Honestly, Chen Xuan was feeling somewhat angry himself.

To not even spare innocent people, the actions of the Northern Family truly had no bottom line!

However, there was still something Chen Xuan didn’t understand in his heart.

He remembered the words Liu Mingkong had spoken earlier.

Liu Mingkong had said that they had no intention of stirring up trouble, and the Young Prince’s illness had nothing to do with them.

Liu Mingkong could naturally be trying to mislead, but what if not?

If, as Liu Mingkong had said, the Young Prince’s illness really wasn’t the doing of the Northern Family, then who could it be?

An hour later, the residence of the Rakshasa Marquis.

Huai City was already under the influence of the Dong Family, and although the Rakshasa Marquis had plans to return to Huai City, he did not dare to act recklessly within Dong Family’s territory.

Therefore, unlike the Liangjiang Marquis’s residence located in the valuable central area of the city, the Rakshasa Marquis’s residence was somewhat secluded, situated on a mountain just outside the city of Huai City.

However, except for the geographical location not being so great, everything here was in no way inferior to the Liangjiang Marquis’s residence.

After all, the Rakshasa Marquis and the Liangjiang Marquis represented not only themselves but also the Northern and Dong Families behind them. To secure their foothold in Huai City, they needed to win over various forces, so naturally, their display of power couldn’t lose to the other by a hair.

At this time, sitting atop a redwood Taishi Chair in the main hall of the Marquis’s residence was a broad-shouldered, square-faced man with tiger eyes—a middle-aged man.

Sitting there, he exuded an air of unspoken authority, his gaze was calm, yet it conveyed a sense of restrained killing intent.

This was none other than the Rakshasa Marquis, Loh Dingtian!

"Daring to kill my men, this time I will let Lei Tianzong know what pain feels like!" Loh Dingtian said with a pleased expression, his smile hiding ferocity.

After the death of his four Protectors, Loh Dingtian had always thought of taking revenge on Lei Tianzong.

Now, seizing the opportunity of Lei Tianzong’s son’s full month celebration, he deliberately had someone plant a bomb in the cake.

The destructive power of those bombs was absolutely shocking, nearly enough to destroy half the Marquis’s residence. If detonated in that enclosed hall, the lethality would’ve been terrifying.

There likely wouldn’t have been many survivors from the explosion.

This time, even if Lei Tianzong didn’t die, he would be skinned!

As for those guests attending the banquet, he could only blame their bad luck for choosing the wrong side—they fully deserved their deaths!

Just as Loh Dingtian silently gloated, a subordinate responsible for bringing news rushed into the hall.

"How is it, Lei Tianzong, is he still alive?" Loh Dingtian asked with keen interest.

"This..." The subordinate hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke the truth, "My lord, it was unsuccessful! No one was harmed at the Liangjiang Marquis’s residence!"

"What?!" Loh Dingtian’s face instantly darkened, "How is this possible?!"

Even Liu Mingkong, standing to the side, could not help but frown.

He had left the Liangjiang Marquis’s residence a while ago and had returned here to wait for news as soon as possible.

In his opinion, victory was supposed to be easily within grasps, but unexpectedly, they had failed.

"What exactly happened?" asked Liu Mingkong.

The subordinate immediately recounted the events he had learned.

Loh Dingtian was surprised, "Since when did the Liangjiang Marquis’s residence have such a powerful individual?"

Liu Mingkong couldn’t help but smile wryly, "My lord, as for this person, you are not unfamiliar with him. He is the very Dragon Son-in-law that Han Sanshui took in, whom I mentioned to you before."

Loh Dingtian suddenly realized, "The Chen Fengchuo who won against you in the feng shui contest?!"

Liu Mingkong nodded, "Exactly, it’s him!"

Loh Dingtian flew into a rage, "He’s got some nerve, daring to help Lei Tianzong ruin my plans, he’s practically seeking death!"

Loh Dingtian’s body was seething with killing intent; it was clear he had murderous intentions towards Chen Xuan.

Liu Mingkong quickly tried to calm him, "My lord, please be patient. In my view, it is not necessarily the case that this Mr. Chen is wholeheartedly following Lei Tianzong. If you act hastily now, you will only make him our enemy completely."

"Having one more enemy like him is certainly not a good thing for us!"

Loh Dingtian’s expression changed.

This Sleeping Dragon was always known for his forceful actions, when did he start fearing to offend people?

Now, he doesn’t want to make an enemy of Chen Fengchuo; could it be that this person’s strength has reached a level that even the Northern Kingdom’s top expert dreads?!

"What does Mr. Sleeping Dragon suggest?" Loh Dingtian asked.

Liu Mingkong replied, "In my opinion, we should watch and wait for now. If that Mr. Chen truly sides with the Dong Family in the end, it will not be too late to make a move then!"

In fact, there was something Liu Mingkong had not made clear.

Apart from recognizing Chen Xuan’s formidable strength, Liu Mingkong’s reluctance to take action against him was actually also related to the Dragon Veins he was seeking!

The lake that Chen Xuan had found the previous time, Liu Mingkong was almost ninety percent certain that it was the location of the Dragon Vein.

Yet, despite searching the bottom of the lake many times, he had found nothing at all.

Liu Mingkong suspected that the Dragon Vein there had likely already fallen into the hands of Chen Fengchuo!

The task of finding the Dragon Vein was assigned to Liu Mingkong by the Emperor, and it was of the utmost secrecy; even Loh Dingtian had no right to inquire about it.

Before he was able to confirm the location of the Dragon Vein, Liu Mingkong naturally would not let Loh Dingtian rashly provoke Chen Xuan.

Meanwhile, at the Liangjiang Marquis’s residence.

With things having escalated to this point, it was no longer possible to continue with the full moon banquet.

After all the guests had been sent away, Lei Tianzong had Chen Xuan stay behind.

"Doctor Chen, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask clearly, and it’s also what the Dong Family intends..." Lei Tianzong seemed to be somewhat reluctant.

Chen Xuan immediately guessed what it was, "You want to ask about the Dragon Vein?"

Lei Tianzong nodded, "Yes! The matter of the Dragon Vein is no trivial issue. In fact, all four major families are searching for its whereabouts. Liu Mingkong’s earlier setup was to use you to search for the Dragon Vein."

"The Dong Family has already heard about this, and now I just want to ask on behalf of the Dong Family, in the previous feng shui contest, the Dragon Vein, did Doctor Chen find any clues?"
