"Dream Demon!"

Dongfang Sansan’s face was calm as he looked at the intelligence report.

This was intelligence about the Dream Demon from three thousand years ago, which Dongfang Sansan had been keeping sealed.

Now it’s taken out to compare with the current intelligence.

On one side, Ningxue Sword was getting slightly impatient.

He had received the message three hours ago, telling him to rush back to headquarters; then, half an hour ago, he entered Dongfang Sansan’s room and learned that his mission this time was to go to the Southeast to slay the Dream Demon.

But until now, Dongfang Sansan hadn’t allowed him to set out.

"Ninth Brother, isn’t it about time? It’s just a mere Dream Demon."

Ningxue Sword said, "Do I really need such a grand preparation to deal with him?"

"It’s different. The Dream Demon is not an overt enemy, if you go just like that, I’m afraid you won’t even find him.

Dongfang Sansan sighed, "Just sit quietly and don’t make a sound."

Ningxue Sword had to sit down, then converge his presence, reducing his sense of existence.

Dongfang Sansan was diligently flipping through the documents.

"The Dream Demon has never revealed its true form, as far as I know, even in the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, not many people know the true appearance or real name of the Dream Demon."

"In recorded history, there has never been an instance of the Dream Demon killing someone with force."

"The last time I plotted a backlash was just an experiment, after all, I don’t have Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s Wuxiang Jade, so I couldn’t do a full backlash. Yet the Dream Demon remained comatose for three thousand years."

"The number of people who died due to the Nightmare Soul encounter in the Southeast has now exceeded forty thousand, and among these forty thousand, the highest cultivation level was just a martial master."

"After being comatose for three thousand years, it has finally awakened, and its Divine Soul must be terribly fragile, requiring energy collection urgently. That’s why it’s out collecting Dream True Spirits."

"In Wei Wo Zheng Sect, the latest intelligence also shows more than ten thousand people dying in dreams, among these, there are also no High-level Martial Artists. Not even middle and lower grades."

"This indicates that it had already committed massacre in Wei Wo Zheng Sect to recover. In other words, if it hadn’t first killed those ten thousand to collect Dream True Spirits to compensate, it wouldn’t even have the ability to come to the Guardian Continent."

"On reaching the Guardian Continent, it only dared choose the Southeast, the furthest from the Guardian Headquarters; and still only dared to target ordinary people..."

Dongfang Sansan looked up, muttering, "Divine Soul strong, needing compensation, but... its body and Spiritual Essence, Spiritual Energy, should be extremely weak, meaning, the Dream Demon is not a combat-type opponent at all."

"If you think about it this way, the Dream Demon’s true martial power must be restricted somehow, not rising high. Very low!"

"So if dealing with it isn’t actually tough, yet the biggest obstacle to killing it would be its few Nightmare Guards."

"But there’s a mystery in this, that is... how can it live for such a long time with low strength? How can it sleep for three thousand years?"

"Also... coming to the Southeast, who is it seeking? There must be a tight organization to support it to infiltrate silently!"

"So in the Southeast... but, who is supporting it?"

"Now this Dream Demon is simultaneously acting on three different continents, so on which continent is it really?"

"It can’t be Yixin Sect, if it were Yixin Sect, I would have known by now. So Fang Che is unaware of this. The Yemo Sect is long gone, eliminated. That leaves San Sheng Sect, Mingguang Sect, Heavenly God Sect... it must be one of these three."

"But for these three small sects, the information I currently have is too little."

Dongfang Sansan concentrated, constantly thinking, constantly eliminating possibilities in his mind.

He had to be careful.

Because the Dream Demon is like an invisible man, hard to find.

Even if Ningxue Sword went there, he probably wouldn’t find the Dream Demon; he could only execute full coverage threat with Sword Qi in the Dream Demon’s vicinity.

Thus forcing the Dream Demon to be honest or leave.

But if he selects the wrong city, for instance, if the Dream Demon is in Baixiang Continent while an order is given, and Ningxue Sword instead goes to Baiyun Continent. Releasing pressure in Baiyun Continent would not only be useless, but also set the Dream Demon’s mind at ease, leading it to initiate an unimaginably brutal massacre in Baixiang Continent!

This one command could affect the lives of hundreds of thousands or even millions!

Dongfang Sansan cannot allow himself to make a mistake in such matters!

He must not make any mistakes.

So he kept considering.

On killing the Dream Demon, Dongfang Sansan held no direct hope.

Too hard to find!

Across the whole continent, anyone could be the Dream Demon! How to search? If its martial strength were similarly high, it would actually be much easier for Dongfang Sansan.

Ningxue Sword almost tried to shrink himself into his chair, wishing he could sink into its cushions.

He had never seen Dongfang Sansan ponder such a matter for so long, so seriously, and without any conclusion.

He was afraid that a sidelong glance from Dongfang Sansan would disturb his train of thought. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Every time Dongfang Sansan’s eyes passed over his face, Ningxue Sword’s heart would skip a beat.

But Dongfang Sansan actually didn’t see him at all, even if his gaze swept over his face, it was as if he merely glanced at a pile of dung and moved on...

Just then.

The sound of knocking came from outside the door.

Ningxue Sword’s eyes darted, shooting a fierce light!

Ninth Brother is deep in thought, who dares disturb him now?

"Open the door." Dongfang Sansan said.

Ningxue Sword grunted, with a wave, the door opened.

"Ninth lord, Yueying intelligence report."

Just six words.

Dongfang Sansan’s face suddenly lit up with radiance: "Quickly, give it to me!"

Taking the report, Ningxue Sword immediately closed the door.

Turning back, he saw Dongfang Sansan already unfolding the intelligence to read.

So urgent?

Ningxue Sword was taken aback.

"...Receiving intelligence in the sub branch, stating it pertains to the Dream Demon... supported by the Heavenly God Sect, Nightmare Soul... Guards..."

Dongfang Sansan finished reading and finally let out a sigh of relief.

His eyes relaxed.

Then he suddenly started to consider wiping out the Dream Demon directly in this wave.

"Tsk, I might be getting greedy here."

Dongfang Sansan felt at ease, even making a joke at his own expense.

Ningxue Sword; ???

What does that mean?

I don’t get it?

"Order Southeast, put all resources into suppressing San Sheng Sect, Mingguang Sect, and Heavenly God Sect. Do not hesitate to launch a decisive strike, slay them! This operation shall be named Thunder!"

"So corny."

Ningxue Sword complained.

"Corny? This action must be corny!"

Dongfang Sansan confidently laughed.

The order was given, and then he said, "You go to Baiyun State, suppress the entire state with Sword Qi, ensuring that as long as you are there for a day, the Dream Demon’s Nightmare Soul must be restrained for a day!"

Ningxue Sword said with great confidence, "No problem, as soon as my Hanxi Sword Energy is released, it reaches my Sword Qi peak, if the Dream Demon dares to appear, even if its Nightmare Souls are few, dealing with it is beyond me, but if they’re numerous, I can drag it out and slay it under my sword."

Dongfang Sansan nodded, "Now, immediately, right away! Please go to Baiyun State to release your sword energy, not at headquarters. The headquarters has been filled with your sword energy every day for years."

"Alright!"

Ningxue Sword walked out, swaggering, "Don’t need you to say, in this entire continent, when it comes to swords, nobody can compare with me. When my Sword Qi emerges, all swords submit."

"As fast as possible!"

Ningxue Sword left. His body shot up into the sky, transforming into Rainbow Sword Energy.

Dongfang Sansan shook his head and continued reading the intelligence.

"The world’s number one pest, deserves its name."

"And I also have a world’s number one fool... Sigh, day after day..."

He focused on considering this wave of action.

After a long time, he sighed again, "If... I’m afraid the Guardian Halls across the Southeast, this time, will have to pay some price... Sigh."

Then he began again to look through the Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s frontal deployment, starting to ponder. If there’s a way to reduce sacrifices on this side or avoid them altogether, while taking down a batch on the other side?

He pondered for a long time, deeply sighed, "Tough."
