Chapter 1273 - 435: Blessings, Guiding the Way (6k)_3

Perhaps this scene is actually the ancient dream represented by that god statue.

For it, this is a good ancient dream.

Just like when Wen Yan previously visited his own ancient dream, that small shop was a place to dispel the gloom in his heart, one of his most relaxed and happiest moments.

However, for other people or different races, it might not be the same.

Perhaps for some different races, it is a place of great terror and danger.

And such a small scene of an ancient dream is basically the only known one that can be naturally entered and exited with little risk.

In other words, if that’s the case, then by traversing these scenes, it’s equivalent to using Er Jingong as a key to open doors to ancient dreams connected with Er Jingong.

This way, he seeks the path to return.

Wen Yan pondered for a moment, considering that this ancient dream might be the one of that god statue...

He looked back and saw the direction he came from; the dark curtain was advancing steadily, swallowing everything along the way.

Wen Yan waited, and when the dark curtain started to engulf the ruins of the small temple, he stepped over its ruins and walked towards the mist behind.

Accompanied by a rustling sound, the dark curtain swallowed the ruins of the small temple.

At this time, a faint and strange tone emerged, and the things in the darkness, as if stimulated, became frantic and restless, their speed soaring as they chased Wen Yan’s silhouette into the mist.

...

In the underground building, Inverted Triangle Eyes was casting evil magic, consuming precious materials following the previous method.

He had just fallen into an ancient dream, in just a moment, lost in thought, entered it, and snapped back to reality.

Then, he saw Wen Yan, saw Er Jingong in Wen Yan’s hand.

Upon seeing Er Jingong, he knew it wasn’t a projection; it must have been real.

Wen Yan must also be real.

He didn’t know why Wen Yan entered someone else’s ancient dream, or even after entering, why he hadn’t died yet.

He began to feel something was wrong; he must find a way to make Wen Yan stay there forever.

And this time, it was much easier than the last time’s interference in a dream because Wen Yan was inside the ancient dream.

He couldn’t be a hundred percent sure, but he had to treat it as real.

...

In the place where Wen Yan disappeared, within five seconds of losing his phone signal, the General Director’s personal equipment received a notification.

Then, field agents arrived at the scene to secure it. Simultaneously, equipment was brought in to capture residual elements here to determine if he fell into a domain, an ancient dream, or some other place.

The General Director was currently alone in the room where the Black Box was located.

Wen Yan could use the Black Box because the General Director had granted authorization.

The General Director himself could certainly use it as well. However, in normal operations, he emphasized teamwork and would not get personally involved in everything, nor could he go to the front lines himself. If he did, it would cause chaos.

But for this matter, the Black Box could be used just right.

The General Director stood with a grave expression and spoke solemnly.

"Authorization, Level One under Category Three limitations."

"Check where the information about the recently released ex-prisoner was leaked from."

On the projection before him, a map emerged densely populated with rapidly appearing light points.

"Authorization, Level Two call analysis of the Black Box under Category Three limitations."

"Check related contacts."

In an instant, the already dense light points on the map multiplied several times over.

"Preliminary filtering, criteria for restriction: itineraries, contacts, indirect links."

"Authorization, forum data, filter related information."

The mysterious forum, connected with the Server Domain, hadn’t ceased operations since Wen Yan retrieved the Server Domain. It was quietly taken over by the Scorching Sun Department, maintaining everything as it was.

There were many who dared to speak there, with a wealth of intelligence.

Now, that was proving to be useful.

With continuous commands from the General Director, the light points on the projection began to decrease rapidly.

Cai Heizi’s tactics, though somewhat underhanded, were indeed effective in stirring up trouble.

Many previously unknown pieces of information were now showing some clues over the past few days.

The investigation results were now out, confirming the characteristic of entering an ancient dream as per previous records; Wen Yan had indeed fallen into an ancient dream.

The Scorching Sun Department didn’t have many effective means to extract Wen Yan, so what they could do was to continue the investigation and follow the clues further down. As for the mission to meet and attempt to bring Wen Yan out, it could only be entrusted to Fuyu Mountain.

As Wen Yan traversed each piece of the ancient dream puzzle, the message had already reached Fuyu Mountain.

The Fourth Great-uncle Master personally arrived in Virtue City and emerged from the Wenyan family’s basement.

Originally, the Fourth Great-uncle Master had some other thoughts, but upon seeing Brother Dao in the yard secretly catching bugs to eat and then standing up with an earnest look after noticing someone, the Fourth Great-uncle Master had second thoughts.

The Fourth Great-uncle Master approached Brother Dao, who couldn’t help but step back until he reached the fence, nowhere left to retreat.

"What are you planning to do?"

Brother Dao, although often foul-mouthed and proud, wasn’t stupid. With heightened spirituality, he could sense who was a big shot.

The Fourth Great-uncle Master appeared very serene, fitting the stereotyped image of a Taoist priest, but when Brother Dao saw the Fourth Great-uncle Master approaching, his heart began to race violently.
