Chapter 666: Chapter 159: Where Is the Dream Demon? (Double-Length Chapter) _3

"Sigh, Baiyun State is truly experiencing turbulent times now. I just returned and I’m already overwhelmed."

Fang Che began his true purpose.

"Dream Demon?"

The face of the Yin Shen Palace turned grave: "Lord Dream Demon has gone to Baiyun State?"

"Yes."

"Then you need to be careful."

The Yin Shen Palace said: "Senior Mengmo should have just awakened and needs to absorb Dream True Spirit energy. I guess a lot of people will die during this time."

"Ah?"

Fang Che quickly typed: "Let me lament first, why did Senior Mengmo choose Baiyun State, can’t he choose somewhere else? Besides, he just woke up, wouldn’t it be better to rest at the Main Sect? Why come out? Master, what does ’just awakened’ mean?"

The Yin Shen Palace finally got rid of the topic of ’the new head of the escort who pits his disciple’, and said: "Legend has it that about three thousand years ago, Lord Dream Demon’s Great Dream Divine Technique reached consummation. He sneaked into the Guardian Continent, intending to plot against Dongfang Strategist, to strangle the top Guardians within the dream. But for some reason, Dongfang Strategist countered after entering the dream, directly shattering Lord Dream Demon’s dream and dream heart. The backlash of the Great Dream Divine Technique led Lord Dream Demon to a three thousand year dream."

"Since he appeared in Baiyun State and is taking lives in dreams, it seems Lord Dream Demon has awakened."

The Yin Shen Palace said: "However, such level of battles should have little to do with a mere Vice Hall Master of the Guardian Hall like you."

Fang Che replied: "Yes, I intended to earn merit, but it’s a pity that I can’t even dream of capturing Lord Dream Demon to earn merit, such merit would be too significant."

The Yin Shen Palace laughed heartily: "In your dreams! Since Lord Dream Demon has awakened, his Nightmare Guards will awaken as well. Just two of them are enough to flatten your Baiyun State."

"Then it’s better for me to stay away, and pray that I don’t encounter His Lordship during the mission."

"Yes, there should be no issue, Lord Dream Demon’s current priority should be to regain strength. You only need to guard against the Heavenly God Sect. Lord Dream Demon likely will not target you, and besides, Lord Dream Demon’s martial prowess is said not to be very strong; his most formidable skill is the Great Dream Divine Technique, which is said to make opponents fall asleep and kill silently."

"Master, the Heavenly God Sect? Why are there matters of the Heavenly God Sect involved?"

"Since Lord Dream Demon has come to the Southeast, it must be with a purpose; back in the day, Heavenly God Sect’s Kou Yifang climbed up the ranks by cozying up to one of Lord Dream Demon’s Nightmare Guards... In other words, that was the Heavenly God Sect’s mainstay and backing in the Main Sect."

"With Lord Dream Demon having slept for so many years, the strength of his faction has greatly declined; and over in the Southeast, Kou Yifang of the Heavenly God Sect hasn’t been able to stand tall either, always falling behind me and Hai Wuliang, and his status isn’t even as good as Guan Shan Du. It’s precisely because of this."

"But then again, if Lord Dream Demon were awake, someone like Kou Yifang wouldn’t be relying on such connections."

As he spoke, the Yin Shen Palace grew worried, saying: "But now that Lord Dream Demon is back, the Heavenly God Sect stands proud immediately. If they seize this opportunity to assist Lord Dream Demon in recovery, I’m afraid their status could challenge our Yixin Sect."

Fang Che said dismissively: "At what level is the Heavenly God Sect even worthy of being compared to our Yixin Sect?"

"Such a mindset is unacceptable. The Heavenly God Sect has remained dormant for many years, nurturing and growing, and their sect is truly not weak, with many experts."

"Moreover, because of their dormancy, even I don’t know where their headquarters is precisely."

"This time, since Lord Dream Demon has come to the Southeast, he must settle in a densely populated area. Once settled, Kou Yifang and others from the Heavenly God Sect will surely be by his side. This power is not something your Guardian Hall’s strength can compare to."

"Be careful. Don’t provoke bad luck; the terrifying nature of such an ancient Great Demon as Lord Dream Demon is beyond your imagination!"

"Yes, Master."

Fang Che’s eyes darted, and he said: "Then I’ll just do some superficial work, go through the motions."

The Yin Shen Palace was still somewhat uneasy, saying: "Our Yixin Sect Branch is currently known to the Main Sect, and it’s not surprising if Lord Dream Demon looks for us. You must keep a low profile no matter what during this period."

"Yes."

The communication was cut off.

Fang Che sat in the chair with furrowed brows.

The Yin Shen Palace had revealed a lot of information to him.

But from the Yin Shen Palace’s information, it was evident that this incident is exceptionally severe.

Dream Demon, Nightmare, Heavenly God Sect.

Moreover, there will definitely continue to be deaths, and in large numbers!

Because Dream Demon needs Dream True Spirit to recover.

However, with so many people killed by Dream Demon yesterday, and the bodies all cremated. It’s uncertain how much True Spirit energy can be absorbed.

But no matter how much, it’s certainly not enough.

Next, there will be mass deaths in the Southeast region.

If Dream Demon isn’t eliminated, and if he continues to exist, turning the entire Southeastern Seven Continents into a ghost land, erasing over a billion people in their sleep wouldn’t be surprising.

Then he remembered something urgent and rushed out.

"Assemble everyone!"

"Whoosh!"

Everyone gathered immediately: "I forgot something major, with Dream Demon appearing, we’ve only been looking at the bodies in the city, and there are already so many, but what about the villages and towns outside the city, the mountain villages? Estates?"

"How many more have died? Were the bodies burned?"

"Spread out, outside the city! Hurry up and get it done."

"Yes!"

Over two hundred people immediately dispersed.

Tang Zheng went along as well.

And after saying a word to Yuan Jingjiang, Fang Che hurriedly went out too.

Yuan Jingjiang quickly went to report to the Hall Master.

Song Yidao suddenly remembered, just being busy in the city, constantly tense, inadvertently neglected the exterior of the city, and his face changed.

He hurried to mobilize.

Outside the city was indeed a scene of vast devastation.

Some villages hadn’t even been left with a single living person.

As the people from the Guardian Hall arrived, piles of large fires continuously roared into the sky. All the bodies were burned under the guise of a plague.

By the latter half of the night, everyone rushed to report numbers, and everyone was stunned.

"Sixteen thousand?"

Fang Che’s eyes widened, his voice trembling, face as pale as paper: "Are you sure there’s no mistake in the count?"

"No! Even though the villages have few people, they’re spread out, but there are thousands of nearby villages, and not a few small towns of scale..."

Everyone’s face was as heavy as could be.

"In one night, just in Baiyun State, thirty thousand... gone just like that!"

Fang Che felt heart-wrenching pain, and tears finally burst out uncontrollably.

"Mr. Fang, look!"

Zhao Ying’er pointed with a face full of horror towards the direction of the fires.

Amidst the countless blazing fires, faint light shadows were still rising into the sky.

Like the night sky suddenly filled with countless fireflies!

That’s the Dream True Spirit being absorbed away.

"It’s already past midnight?" Fang Che turned abruptly.

"It’s past." Everyone bowed their heads, faces full of fatigue and shame.

But the entire Baiyun State encountering Dream Demon, just the few in the Guardian Hall couldn’t manage.

"..."

Fang Che’s eyes turned blood-red, the time had passed, and the Dream True Spirit was being reclaimed, and these Dream True Spirits, once absorbed back, would nourish this Great Demon.

Making this Demon even more terrifying!

"Golden Horned Flood Dragon! Swallow as much as possible for me!"

Fang Che’s eyes were bloodshot as he gave the mental command.

Better let the Golden Horned Flood Dragon devour than let the True Spirit return to Dream Demon. However, even when the Golden Horned Flood Dragon tried to intercept and devour, it couldn’t do it.

Because these weren’t death energy at all!

Nor were they evil qi.

They could only watch as the Dream True Spirit soared into the sky and disappeared.

Fang Che punched the hard ground, directly making a hole.

"Dream Demon, where the hell is that old bastard hiding!"

...

Late at night.

Ye Meng was resting when suddenly they received intel again.

Delivered by that mysterious shadow.

Information regarding the Dream Demon, information about the Heavenly God Sect.

Ye Meng couldn’t sleep anymore, it was that serious!

Thus, edited and sent it out overnight.

By the time Fang Che finally returned to the Scholar Residence, it was already dawn.

"Why haven’t you been back these days, are you busy?"

Ye Meng asked: "A lot of people have died in the city these few days."

Casually handing over a bowl of thick porridge.

"Yes, busy with this matter, everyone has canceled their leave, I just made some time to come back and let you know, so you won’t worry." Fang Che tiredly drank a bowl; now it was dawn, and after resting for a short while, he would again head to the Guardian Hall at daytime.

"Be careful. Don’t worry about home." Ye Meng consoled.

"I know."

As dawn broke, Fang Che returned once more to the Guardian Hall, and by afternoon, he patrolled the streets again, seeing that the situation was temporarily stable, he then detached from the team and changed his appearance to reach the Worldwide Escort Agency.

This side couldn’t be relaxed either, with hundreds of demons here, it’s like a giant bomb.

If anything happened, it would only add to Baiyun State’s troubles.
