Dongfang Sansan snorted through his nose.

If they didn’t feel your presence, they probably wouldn’t even move!

Trying to take credit to this extent, they’ve gilded their face so solidly!

"Then Fang Che, that guy, actually stabbed a Nightmare Guard with a single cut. The timing was just right, but... he didn’t manage to stab in, almost made me die of laughter, and then I made my move."

Ningxue Sword recalled the scene where Fang Che stabbed the Nightmare Guard in the lower back and was then sent flying, and he was absolutely amused.

"And when you made your move, you took them down?"

Dongfang Sansan asked.

"Took them down, but something bizarre happened. After that Dream Demon’s avatar perished, it indeed turned into a phantom shadow, and my sword had no effect on it. However, after it flew up, it encountered something unknown and was actually eaten alive."

With Ningxue Sword: "Ninth Brother, consider this matter, what’s going on? Is there a ghost?"

Dongfang Sansan said: "Yes, there’s a ghost!"

"What kind of ghost?"

"A ghost that eats avatar phantoms."

"Yeah, I know, I’m asking what exactly is the cause?" Ningxue Sword persisted.

"...There’s a ghost!"

"I know there’s a ghost, but what kind of ghost is it, that’s the question."

"... "

After a moment, Dongfang Sansan slowly posed a question: "Are you Xue Fuxiao or Rui Qianshan?"

Ningxue Sword: "??? Ninth Brother, are you confused?"

Dongfang Sansan rubbed his temples.

This is really enough!

"Next, you will hold your ground in Baiyun State, inside the city. Do not leave the city; regardless of the situation in the Southeast, until the Dream Demon is dead, you must not step out of Baiyun State. Understand?"

"Got it. Ninth Brother, what kind of ghost is it?"

Dongfang Sansan placed the Communication Jade on the desk and stopped responding.

...

In the north of Baiyun State City, in a splendid courtyard.

Wearing the attire of a wealthy landowner, with a kindly face, was indeed the Heavenly God Sect Master Kou Yifang.

He looked anxious at the moment.

He had just gone in to pay respects to the ancestor, who still had some mobility issues. However, recently, with a lot of Illusion Dream True Spirit being retrieved, the ancestor’s complexion has been improving.

But just now, while speaking well, suddenly his face changed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out wildly, splattering all over Kou Yifang’s head and face.

Then he collapsed right onto the bed.

His body suddenly went boom, as if something exploded.

Soon, countless endless small bubbles emerged from the ancestor’s body; the small bubbles floated up, burst upon meeting the wind, and disappeared completely in an instant.

The ancestor, who was already somewhat skinny, turned gaunt and emaciated in the blink of an eye.

And lying on the bed, he kept twitching.

Each twitch came with a mouthful of blood; another twitch, another mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Kou Yifang inexplicably thought of two words: still corpse!

It really looked like it.

Six Nightmare Guards rushed in simultaneously, one of them carefully lifted the ancestor’s head, and skillfully fed him a bowl of medicine.

But it was spat out again with a puff.

"Go get... Dream Soul Pill..."

The Dream Demon stared with widened eyes: "Quick..."

The Dream Soul Pill was retrieved and hurriedly administered. The Dream Demon’s condition finally stabilized.

However, he truly lay on the bed, unable to get up.

His complexion was ashen, with a faint aura of death exuding from his expression, barely clinging to life.

He looked like a critically ill patient barely supported by a breath.

After a long while, he finally caught a breath, so weak that even breathing was difficult, and murmured: "Avatar... was destroyed."

"Ah?"

Everyone was taken aback.

"Lurk... additionally, report to the Main Sect, urgently need... Resurrection Pill."

The Dream Demon laboriously finished a few sentences and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

This time the avatar was destroyed, and although not as severe as the backlash last time, he had just awakened and not yet recovered. The consequences of the backlash from the destroyed avatar turned out to be even more fatal this time.

Several Nightmare Guards urgently began to arrange and report.

And Kou Yifang was dumbfounded on the spot.

Lord Dream Demon... yet again... is incapacitated!

And this time, for the Heavenly God Sect to support the Dream Demon ancestor, the sect’s elite had all come in!

The most critical issue is... While the Dream Demon ancestor is incapacitated, Ningxue Sword has arrived!

And is now hovering over Baiyun State, with Sword Qi intimidating.

Leave?

It’s absolutely impossible to leave!

Kou Yifang now feels every moment that his legs are cramping.

Feels like his head might fly off and run away at any moment.

But with the situation as it is, there is absolutely no retreat.

He had volunteered to welcome the ancestor to the Southeast to collect Illusion Dream True Spirit, was it not to increase his own leverage?

If he couldn’t flatter the ancestor well, how could he rise in the Southeast?

The Yin Shen Palace has Yemo and they achieve the best results; seeing that they’re already rising rapidly, he couldn’t compare with them.

Hai Wuliang was already finished.

But how could he not surpass Guan Shan Du and Gu Shanfeng?

"Fortune favors those who dare!"

Kou Yifang gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Since things have come to this point, regret is useless; he could only tough it out. As long as he gets through this hurdle and helps Lord Dream Demon recover, then he will have a firm footing in the sect in the future.

The six Nightmare Guards were busily occupied, clearly unable to attend to him, the subordinate sect leader. However, given the current situation, what should he do?

After giving it some thought.

He took out a Communication Jade, contacted the Five Spirits Gu, and reached out to the Yin Shen Palace.
