I will burn books and slay gods.

As Luo Qiong's continuous spatial elimination occurred, the Nightmare Troll's body continuously developed damaged wounds.

The Nightmare Troll, unable to stand, let out a miserable scream, and gradually, it fell lifeless.

It fell completely silent, then transformed into countless black particles, dissipating like the wind.

As the Nightmare Trolls vanished, all the Night Watchers who witnessed this scene cheered with excitement!

"We won!"

"We won!"

When Chen Ye saw Luo Qiong, whose pupils were emitting golden light, land back on the ground and look at Wu Long in Chen Ye's arms.

"Go...leave this place...return...to the training ground."

Luo Qiong's voice was intermittent and slightly hoarse.

After hearing Luo Qiong's order, Chen Ye turned to look at Lin Su and the other person behind him.

Just as Chen Ye and the other two helped Wu Long up again and placed him on Wang Xiaoming's back.

Suddenly, Luo Qiong couldn't help but kneel down, supporting herself with her hands, and spit out a mouthful of blood!

His body trembled uncontrollably, and he gripped the dust on the ground tightly with both hands.

His face contorted in a ferocious expression. Upon seeing this, Chen Ye quickly went to Luo Qiong's side.

He helped him up and asked anxiously, "Minister Luo, what happened to you? How did you get like this?"

At this moment, a trace of blood appeared at the corner of Luo Qiong's mouth.

At this moment, Chen Ye discovered that Luo Qiong's body was releasing an extremely cold wind from within.

"Quickly...take us...back...to...the training ground..."

After Luo Qiong uttered her last words in broken sentences, she closed her eyes and fell into a coma.

The repeated occurrence of the same thing made Chen Ye and his two companions panic!

Then, with Lin Sudi's help, Chen Ye carried Luo Qiong on his back.

Meanwhile, others who witnessed this scene also rushed towards Chen Ye's direction.

After Chen Yedi explained, and with everyone's help, they worked together to send Luo Qiong and Wu Long to the martial arts training ground as they requested.

The moment the training ground doors opened, a familiar figure appeared before Chen Ye and the others.

That man was none other than Tang Shouyi, who had been seriously injured earlier!

Then, under Tang Shouyi's command, Luo Qiong and Wu Long were placed on two medical beds.

Under Tang Shouyi's arrangement, the other night watchmen left the training ground, leaving only Chen Ye and his two companions to wait there.

Chen Ye looked at Luo Qiong and Wu Long, and under Tang Shouyi's guidance, the two were placed back into the capsules that had originally been used to test Chen Ye.

As the glass doors on both sides of the capsule slowly closed, the vital signs of the two individuals were displayed on the screen on the right side of the capsule.

According to the display screen, both of their heart rates had dropped to a point where they were in critical condition.

Meanwhile, Tang Shouyi rapidly flipped a few buttons on the display screen.

Different types of needles appeared inside the capsule, slowly piercing into the skin of the two people and beginning to inject some liquid.

As the liquid was injected, their lives improved, and they gradually returned to normal.

However, the similar marks on both of them, as if they had been poisoned, prompted Chen Ye to ask, "Brother Tang, how did you both end up like this after using your abilities?"

Afterwards, Tang Shouyi put down his work and told Chen Ye and the other two about that little-known secret.

"What I am about to tell you is a secret that is not known to all the Night's Watch."

"This happened ten years ago; it was a strange thing that happened in the conceptual space."

"That day, Minister Luo and Teacher Wulong were still resisting the Nightmare Tide."

Suddenly, a mournful and shrill cry was heard beside them; they had explained that the cry was a woman's voice.

"Since that day, the two of them have been waking up from nightmares every day."

"And it's always the same warning: if you continue to act so recklessly, I will resort to slaughter!"

"But from some point onward, that voice disappeared from their dreams, leaving only this ailment: any use of their affinity will inevitably result in a severe backlash!"

"In a serious situation, it could be life-threatening. Therefore, the two of them have never used their affinity again since that day."

After listening to Tang Shouyi's explanation, Chen Ye could understand the general idea, but some information remained unclear.

Wang Xiaoming, who was standing behind Chen Ye, stepped forward and asked, "What was that woman's voice all about?"

Then, he accurately revealed an important piece of information: "In each nightmare, the two of them would see a pair of bloodshot eyes staring at them, before letting out that mournful and shrill cry."

When Chen Ye heard about the bloodshot eyes again, a look of shock appeared on his face!

At this moment, Chen Ye suddenly realized that he had seen those strange eyes before, and they were staring at him.

However, I myself did not appear, unlike Luo Qiong and Wu Long, in such a situation.

The occurrence of this event made Chen Ye increasingly feel that there was definitely some information that those crimson eyes had not yet revealed.

Meanwhile, in a more secluded cave beneath the Fuluo Town mine, a group of masked guards stood facing each other.

At the highest point, there are stone seats that are neither simple nor luxurious.

On the stone chair sat a man who also wore a mask, his pupils resolute, as if he could see through everything.

"Our grand plan has finally achieved great success!"

"Prepare to welcome our dawn!"

"..."

At this moment, Chen Ye and the others, who were in the martial arts training ground, did not have a definite time because Luo Qiong and the other two were still being treated.

Afterwards, Chen Ye bid farewell to Tang Shouyi and prepared to return to his room to wait...

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ye and the other two took the elevator.

After arriving at the huge accommodation area behind Mingyang Building, and searching for a while, we finally arrived at the door number marked on the information card.

Since each room was a single room, the three of them then separated and returned to their own rooms.

After Chen Ye pushed open the door, he closed it again. Although the room wasn't very big, it was big enough for one person to live in.

Chen Ye then lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, but did not fall asleep.

She was still thinking about the strange things that had happened recently, and the secrets that Tang Shouyi had just explained to them.

Although Chen Ye felt something was off after Tang Shouyi finished recounting these events.

Unconsciously, what Tang Shouyi said was not the real secret he wanted to express.

It was actually false information fabricated by Tang Shouyi.

Lost in thought about this matter, Chen Ye gradually fell asleep.

At this moment, Chen Ye in his dream found himself back in a familiar place, still that boundless river.

The air was thick with the scent of death, which made Chen Ye unconsciously aware of the situation here.

In his dream, Chen Ye did not stay in one place like last time, but boldly started to wander around.

As Chen Ye drew closer, he was shocked to discover that the black river was actually composed of Nightmares.

If Chen Ye hadn't deliberately approached the river, he might not have known about this at all.

It wasn't until Chen Ye saw two or more familiar figures that he realized something was wrong again.

It was because Chen Ye saw the figure of Cao Hui, who had just died, in the black river.

It was such compassion; the moment she saw Chen Ye, her eyes were filled with a plea for help.

But the moment Cao Hui saw Chen Ye, four or five black hands emerged from the black river and grabbed him tightly.

Before Chen Ye could recover from his shock, Cao Hui's figure was pulled down as if a stone had sunk into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

Only a few barely noticeable bubbles on the river.

As Chen Ye got closer to the black river, he could see the figures more clearly.

It is a combination of different emotional expressions such as crying for help, longing, pleading, hurt, anger, and shouting.

Upon witnessing those scenes, Chen Ye was so shocked that he took several steps back.

His face was filled with panic and disbelief.

But these were not the most terrifying scenes; Chen Ye saw that the river was a non-flowing liquid.

Or rather, it is not a river in the traditional sense, but a deep pit, a lake formed by nightmares.

Just as Chen Ye approached the lake again, nearing its edge, long, black, viscous hands reached out towards him.

At this moment, Chen Ye, who was staring intently at the lake, noticed that something seemed about to appear in the place in front of him.

Curious, Chen Ye peeked out and looked in that direction.

Suddenly, in the spot where Chen Ye was looking directly, several familiar "faces" abruptly appeared in front of him.

Those were the "faces" of familiar people like Lin Su and Wang Xiaoming.

They floated on the lake, black liquid flowing from their facial features.

In Chen Ye's ears, he could hear pleas and cries for help from time to time!

Chen Ye felt a chill run down his spine and avoided eye contact, but his curiosity got the better of him, and he looked in that direction again.

When Chen Ye looked again, those "faces" had disappeared, as if they had never appeared at all.

Just then, a colossal figure rose up from the center of the lake!

It appeared like a lotus emerging from the water.

But what followed was a mournful and piercing roar.

Only after Chen Ye saw the true appearance of the giant object did fear appear on his face.

He couldn't help but recall that this was the monster Tang Shouyi had described—a creature with a completely black body and crimson eyes!

Chen Ye looked up at it, as if he were drawn in, unable to look away.

However, the violent trembling of Chen Ye's pupils indicated that he was extremely fearful and terrified.

Until the monster's full form was revealed to Chen Ye, the scene before him made him feel nauseous.

It was a massive body covered in countless black tentacles and a variety of expressive "faces".

Its entire body was covered in black slime, making it impossible to see its true appearance. What exactly was it?

Until the monster looked at Chen Ye and spoke.

"Chen Ye, it's been a long time."
