Volume 1 Chapter 84: Eradicating Nightmares

  The black fog was struck by lightning and suddenly dispersed. The man stood below, stupidly raising his head to look at the sky above. Although this was in a dream, it was not a real existence, but after all, this was his spiritual body, and his consciousness was still here, so everything seemed like reality to him.

  The man's appearance quickly became somewhat blurred, and the surrounding space also became turbulent.

  "No good, he's about to wake up, hurry and deal with the nightmare!"

  Ouyang Xun let out a loud cry, and for the man, what was happening in front of him was just a nightmare. When someone who is having a nightmare is startled awake, their most natural reaction is to wake up, which is normal.

  But if his spiritual body was swallowed by nightmares, then it wouldn't be waking up with a fright, but rather dying directly.

  "Is the nightmare still alive?"

  Liu Yi Yang was stunned for a moment, the black fog was directly dispersed by his lightning, this time the power of the lightning was dozens of times stronger than when he experimented on the small tree.

  Such lightning, he felt that even a big stone could be crushed at once.

  "No, it has a spiritual aura protecting its body, it's not that easy to kill!"

  Ouyang Huan said loudly, the surrounding collapse was even more severe, and the owner of this spiritual body was about to wake up. Once he woke up, both she and Liu Yiyang would be forcibly thrown out.

  Nightmares can stay here because of their special existence.

  "Run again?"

  Liu Yi Yang didn't ask again, and another whirlpool appeared in mid-air. The whirlpool quickly condensed into a cluster of black fog in front of it. Meng Sang did not choose to stay on this person's body, but instead continued to escape. Choosing to stay behind, after this person woke up, it could temporarily hide, but it was also very clear that it could only hide for a while. When the two people who were chasing and killing it found its new host, it would be its doomsday.

  Especially that young man, the power of the lightning he released was extremely great, these few times almost made it completely disappear, if not for the treasure obtained by luck back then that saved it, it would have been destroyed and wouldn't have even made it here.

  Seventh-level nightmare intelligence is extremely high, not inferior to humans. Their greatest means of attack is to produce illusions in dreams and directly devour spiritual bodies. The two people in front are not the kind of people who can be dealt with in this way, they can only escape.

  Liu Yi Yang shouted and jumped down, grabbing Ouyang Xun and leaping back into the whirlpool.

  This nightmare must not be let go, it has entered its own brother's dream, and is very clear to itself and its family. Letting it go would be equivalent to bringing hidden dangers to its own family, which is something Liu Yi Yang cannot allow, not even a hint of hidden danger can exist.

  The new place is slightly better than the previous one, but it's still nothing special.

  Two people just came out and appeared at the top of a high-rise building, where there was a vast open space. There was someone driving here, with a beautiful woman sitting in the passenger seat. What's even more outrageous is that under this high-rise building, there was a surging flood, and it's unknown what kind of dream this person had.

  The driver seemed surprised at the two unexpected guests and stopped the car to look at them.

  "There it is!"

  Ouyang Huan called out, they and the nightmare were both external spiritual bodies, and it was easy to discover each other's existence. Seeing that there was no escape, the nightmare jumped out, and a black vortex appeared above it.

  "Essence emerges from 'Qian' and enters 'Dui' position!" Liu Yi Yang muttered to himself, stretching out his finger to lightly tap.

  A large metal plate suddenly appeared in front of the whirlpool, and the nightmare covered in black fog crashed into the metal plate, failing to drill into the whirlpool as it had wished.

  "The Power of Metal!"

  Ouyang Huan exclaimed in surprise, she was a connoisseur and recognized the power as the Five Elements' power at a glance. She didn't expect Liu Yiyang's control over the divine artifact to be so formidable, having already learned to mobilize the Five Elements' power.

  "Boom!"

  Ouyang Xun was shocked at the time, Liu Yi Yang also didn't idle around, transferring a large amount of spiritual energy into the "Zhen" position, a gigantic lightning bolt comparable to a skull descended from the sky and struck directly at that black fog's body.

  This time, Liu Yi Yang was ruthless. To completely eliminate the nightmare, he mobilized nearly half of his spiritual energy and released it all at once. If not for the previous trip to the museum where he had absorbed a good amount of spiritual energy, he might not have been able to launch such an attack with his previously accumulated spiritual energy.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  In the space, a chaotic noise erupted, and the whirlpool disappeared. The dark fog could no longer condense, and the thunder was originally the nemesis of nightmares. Such powerful thunder would be useless even if it had the protection of a sacred artifact. Liu Yi Yang used the power of thunder released by a divine artifact, which was higher than the level of a sacred artifact.

  The space was still shaking, this time Liu Yi Yang had experience and knew that his master was about to wake up.

  "Hurry up!"

  Before the space collapsed, Ouyang Xun pulled Liu Yi Yang into a white light. In the moment of leaving, Liu Yi Yang found a small red thing floating in front of him and reached out to grab it.

  Opening his eyes, Liu Yi Yang found himself facing a familiar ceiling and that familiar large bed.

  Ouyang Huan beside him also woke up, and both of their consciousness returned to their own bodies.

  The room was empty, and Ou Yangyun had set up not only the formation for initiating the Dream Dao technique but also a protective formation. She and the people from the national special department were just cooperative partners, and she didn't completely trust them yet.

  Being on guard doesn't mean they will harm themselves, everything else must be guarded against. If someone has ulterior motives and takes advantage of her when she's not paying attention to steal some tofu, then she would have suffered a great loss. Ouyang Xuan absolutely wouldn't let such a thing happen, no opportunity would be left behind.

  Liu Yi Yang didn't know all this, after waking up, he looked at his own hands.

  In his right palm, he was holding a bright red feather, which was indeed a feather, soft and fluffy, but it was unclear from which animal's body it came.

  "Mr. Ouyang asked, Mr. Liu, you're back!"

  Ouyang Huan didn't notice the thing in Liu Yi Yang's hand, withdrew the formation and got out of bed to open the door. Liu Chu Zhang was standing outside with many people, and when he saw them, he immediately gave a flattering greeting. The others also looked at the two with admiration. They hadn't entered the spiritual world, but there were special machines here that tested one's spiritual power. Just now, they had discovered a strong spiritual power fluctuation from the machine, and it was Liu Yi Yang's body that had produced the fluctuation at first.

  After that, the fluctuation suddenly shifted, fortunately their instruments also had a large coverage range, and they tracked it up, and it was precisely because such instruments existed that they could continue to track the nightmare without letting it escape.

  The second fluctuation was also not small and soon there was a third one.

  They couldn't see, but it wasn't hard to guess that the two had engaged in a fierce battle. Every time they changed places, they suddenly transferred to a very far place, and only the special ability of the nightmare could achieve this, which meant that the nightmare was escaping, and it was not the opponent of the two.

  For the last time, a strong vibration caused all the machines to shake before calming down.

  They all understood that the outcome was already decided, and no matter how powerful the nightmare was, it couldn't withstand such a strong attack. It must have been Ouyang Xun and Liu Yiyang who killed the nightmare. Since they had completed their task, they would be back soon.

  He then led everyone to wait at the door. As expected, the door soon opened and both of them walked out from inside.

  Ouyang Huan nodded and said: "We're back, tell the people upstairs that Meng Shuang has been eliminated, remember to let them send this time's bonus as soon as possible!"

  "Don't worry, I will definitely report it truthfully!"

  Liu Chulchang immediately bowed his head and bent his waist, with an extremely good attitude. He had no choice but to be humble, as he was very clear about the abilities of these two people in front of him.

  "Then let's go first, remember, this time it's just the two of us!"

  Ouyang Huan patted herself and again held Liu Yiyang's arm, reminding him of something as they were about to leave.

  Liu Chuchang nodded again, Ouyang Xuan was just their consultant, not a direct member of theirs. Except when they had tasks to do together, they basically didn't have much intersection at other times. Now that Ouyang Xuan has completed her task, she naturally needs to leave.

  As for Liu Yi Yang, he didn't want to continue staying there either. He was anxious to go and see his younger brother, to see what situation he was in now.

  The nightmare has been eliminated, but it has also possessed his younger brother for so long, and he doesn't know what impact it will bring. Liu Yi Yang is now very worried.

  "Remember, remember, rest assured, Mr. Liu's contributions will not be forgotten!" Director Liu waved his hand again, and after the two had completely left, he turned around, his face still with a hint of sadness.

  "Send an encrypted email to headquarters and tell them that we have discovered a new A-level Xuanmen master, or at least estimate that he is AA-level, the worst case is also A-level, send his information together!"

  Liu Chulang faced his subordinates with a stern expression and said calmly.

  A young man nodded quickly and went to send the encrypted email, while others looked at Director Liu and also nodded silently.

  Bagua Gate, Tian Shi Gate and other Xuanmen Orthodox have their own strength assessment methods. However, at the national level, there is a simpler method of comparing strengths, that is, grading.

  From D to S, this is the level standard given by the country. The lowest is D-level, and those who understand a little bit of mysterious skills can be evaluated, such as geomancers outside who slightly understand Feng Shui, and some young people who have just entered the department.

  C-level second, people of this class have a certain attacking ability, but their strength is not strong. Many Xuanmen primary disciples are at this level, including most young people in their department.

  B-level is the third tier, and the strength of these people is slightly stronger, with many attacking methods. The waiter who had previously cultivated the Fetal Spirit Technique and Director Liu both belong to the 8th level, and they can also be considered top-notch.

  Above B-level is A-level, and such people are very rare in their department, with only a few at headquarters, but no more than ten people. They are usually busy and can only be dispatched by headquarters to do things.

  Ouyang Huan was previously registered as A-level at the headquarters, but she doesn't belong to this department, only as a consultant. Usually, wherever there is something that can't be solved, they can ask her to come out and help.

  The country is so big, and there are many ordinary people all over the country who cannot explain or solve things on their own. That's why they have reached a cooperation agreement with the Bagua Gate and other major sects of mysticism. For some problems that can't be solved, they can ask for help, but they need to pay money, which is considered a reward.

  The A-level is divided into three categories: A, AA, and AAA, with 3A being the strongest. The entire headquarters has only one person at this level, Director Liu gave Liu Yi Yang an evaluation of 2A, which is already very high, so he was very cautious.
