Yun Zihai's Dream and What Was About to Descend

Neither he nor Eunuch Wei spoke; they simply watched the eerie reflection in the mirror in silence.

When the figures finally became clear, the White-Clothed Man ghost appeared among them.

"Don't contact me casually. You're not in a good situation either. I've already said that only I will contact you."

As soon as he appeared, the White-Clothed Man spoke in a very unfriendly tone, conveying a sense of great displeasure.

He stopped halfway through his sentence and stared at the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman with a strange look.

Why are you the only one here?

Normally, he would meet with two people, but now only the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman was there, which made the White-Clothed Man very strange.

These two guys are now like stray dogs among the humans, they can't possibly be short of men.

The Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman bowed respectfully, his face pale, and said with a bitter smile, "I was seriously injured in order to kill Xu Bai, and he is already dead."

As he said this, he coughed twice, and his originally pale face seemed to regain some color as if in a final burst of energy, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Chief Mu and Eunuch Wei exchanged a glance and nodded.

Honestly, there's nothing wrong with that. Killing Xu Bai wasn't that simple, and it's normal to say that a huge price was paid.

Upon hearing this, the White-Clothed Man's pupils contracted slightly, and an indescribable joy welled up within him. He asked urgently, "Killed him?"

The Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman nodded. "They've killed me completely, but now they're hunting me down with all their might. I've found a place to hide, but I can't guarantee they won't find me, because I'm seriously injured now and I might not be able to hide properly."

"If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way," the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman said, his eyes filled with pleading.

"Can you help me? I really can't hide anymore."

When he said that, he wasn't acting at all, because he had already been arrested, and that feeling of having nowhere to hide was not something he was pretending to have.

Who knew that upon hearing these words, the White-Clothed Man showed no sympathy, but instead became much calmer.

"We belong to different worlds, so how can I help you? You can only try your best to endure it. As long as you can endure until we get out of the Ghost Market, you can turn the tables and no longer have to live such dangerous days."

"But..." The Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman looked anxious, as if he wanted to speak.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the White-Clothed Man ghost.

"No need to say anything more. Don't worry, as long as you can survive this stage, we can give you anything you want."

The implication was that they would absolutely not intervene; the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman would have to endure it all himself.

The Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman's eyes were ashen, but he forced himself to stay alert. "I feel we have no chance of winning. They have Exiting Sainthood, but we don't even have Exiting Sainthood. Moreover, there are far fewer positions available for sainthood now."

He thought he would get some information after saying this, but the White-Clothed Man's face turned gloomy after hearing it.

"It's not just a lot less, it's a huge amount less!"

The White-Clothed Man looked like he was gritting his teeth. "The Chu Emperor was seriously injured by us, but he has recovered. He instinctively holds a grudge, and coupled with his rejection of us, he launched a fierce attack. We now only have five Saints left."

"All the saints in the Demon-Strange Entity Market have disappeared, leaving only the Human-Strange Entity Market."

"But don't worry, I'm absolutely confident that there won't be any problems. We have no chance of losing. Victory is still on our side this time."

This statement was made with great confidence, as if they had completely taken control of the situation, but the fact remains that they suffered heavy losses.

Eunuch Wei gave Chief Mu a wink, implying that this guy definitely had a backup plan.

Chief Mu gave him a wink and gestured to the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman, signaling him to continue probing.

The Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman caught a glimpse of the gesture out of the corner of his eye and immediately knew what he was about to do. He feigned hesitation and said, "Could you tell me the truth? I'm really not sure right now."

The White-Clothed Man chuckled coldly, "What I tell you, you will know. What I don't tell you, don't bother asking around. It's not the right time for you to know too much. Knowing too much will only do you harm. Do you understand?"

The words not only told the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman to stop asking questions, but also carried a hint of threat.

The Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman gritted his teeth.

He could already sense the killing intent emanating from Chief Mu's side. If he couldn't find out any useful information, he would be a useless person.

At this point, useless people have no reason to live.

In order to save his own life, he felt he had to take the risk.

A ruthless glint flashed in the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman's eyes. "If you don't tell me, I will tell all your secrets to the mortals who have entered sainthood, and then you won't be able to accomplish anything!"

If the normal path is blocked, then try another path: the method of threat.

The White-Clothed Man didn't buy it.

"Go and tell him that as long as Xu Bai is dead, I don't care about anything else. You can go and tell him. Anyway, I'm confident of victory."

His words carried a hint of ease, as if even though they now only had five Saints left, they were still able to maintain control of the situation.

The Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman was taken aback, went through the thought in his mind, and said, "Xu Bai is not dead, but I have him under my control."

As soon as he finished speaking, the White-Clothed Man on the other side of the mirror fell silent, plunging into a long silence.

After witnessing this, the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman knew that he had made the right move. He organized his thoughts and continued speaking.

"I know you want Xu Bai dead, but I'm all about self-interest. I can see you're at a disadvantage, so I need to leave myself a way out. I'll replace Xu Bai to gain their trust, and maybe then I can live."

"If you tell me why you are so confident, I might kill Xu Bai. But if you don't tell me, I will hand Xu Bai Xu Bai over to them, spare his life, and at the same time, spare my own."

"Whether you tell them or not is up to you; the choice is already in front of you."

Upon arriving here, the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman suddenly became more assertive.

The White-Clothed Man's face stiffened, his eyes turning sinister and filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to devour the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman alive.

The Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman shrugged, looking indifferent. "Do whatever you want, I don't care anymore. I've already come this far, all I want is to live."

Upon hearing this, the White-Clothed Man took several deep breaths and finally calmed his anger.

He scrutinized the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman and finally said slowly, "You are very lucky. Your intelligence allows you to come into contact with a truly supreme being."

"Since you want to know, then I will tell you everything I know."

"Not long ago, I came into contact with a truly terrifying being. He was very strange, as if he were imprisoned in a place. He told me that if I wanted to get what I wanted, I had to do as he said."

"If he wants to kill Xu Bai, then we will kill Xu Bai. Don't ask about this person's identity anymore. All I can say is that he is more terrifying than everyone present, including the Chu Emperor."

The Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman stood there, stunned. He truly hadn't expected to receive such information, and it was something he couldn't quite accept.

Fortunately, he was only stunned for a moment before quickly regaining his senses. After thinking carefully for a while, he asked, "Why did you kill Xu Bai alone?"

The White-Clothed Man shook his head. "That being vaguely told me that Xu Bai will die, but the thing inside him will not die and will become even stronger. However, this strength will take time to recover. That being will break the seal soon, so that it will be in time."

"Don't ask me what's inside. I don't know either. That being didn't tell me, and I dare not ask."

The Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman fell silent, sensing that things were veering off in an unpredictable direction.

But he still has to keep asking questions; he has to play his part to the end, even if it's tough.

Thinking of this, the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman took a deep breath, wanting to continue speaking.

But before he could speak, the White-Clothed Man ghost continued.

"Don't ask about that person. I can tell you another secret."

"Actually, we are just one of countless worlds. Right now, in countless worlds, that one's subordinates are on their way here. They only need a springboard to get here."

"This is what I mean by confidence. No matter how strong our world is, it can never be a match for countless worlds. As for what the springboard is, I don't know either."

Having said all that needed to be said, the White-Clothed Man ghost shut his mouth and said no more.

But his meaning was already very clear. Now that things had come to this point, if Xu Bai wasn't killed, it would be a sign that the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman was disrespecting him.

The Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman nodded and said, "I understand. I will kill Xu Bai."

The White-Clothed Man's expression grew increasingly cold. "Make your move right now, in front of me!"

After all that twist and turn, although the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman had learned a lot of information, the White-Clothed Man ghost was becoming increasingly distrustful of him. He would never believe it unless he saw it for himself.

The Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman reacted quickly, shaking his head and saying, "He is my only bargaining chip right now. Why would I keep him by my side? Don't worry, I will definitely make my move, and you will have to watch me kill him."

The White-Clothed Man thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. So he nodded and made it clear that if he wanted to kill Xu Bai, he had to let Xu Bai see it.

Soon, the mirror disappeared, and the Barbarian Tribe Great Shaman breathed a sigh of relief, turning his gaze to Chief Mu and Eunuch Wei, indicating that he had done as instructed.

Chief Mu and Eunuch Wei were still thinking about their conversation. The news was so shocking that they couldn't quite process it.

The one who was least able to accept it was Eunuch Wei, because Chief Mu already knew some clues, so his reaction this time was faster than Eunuch Wei's.

"It seems our enemies are preparing to deal with us," Chief Mu mused.

At this moment, Eunuch Wei finally realized what was happening and turned to look at Chief Mu.

"Our family thinks we should eliminate the Ghost Market first, and then look for that so-called springboard."

The Ghost Market must be eliminated. Its very existence is an extremely unstable factor. Only by resolving the internal problems can we deal with the external threats.

As for the so-called stepping stone, we can find one later. Perhaps if we remove this stepping stone, those countless worlds will no longer be able to descend.

Chief Mu nodded in agreement, indicating that this was the only option at present.

"Before that, we need to find Xu Bai, tell him this information, and ask him to cooperate with us in staging a play to lure the Ghost Market out."

After a brief discussion, the two began to develop a preliminary plan...

Barbarian Territory, Royal City.

In an elegant courtyard, a scholar was doing something that a scholar shouldn't be doing.

Yun Zihai held two stone balls in his hands, like a professional juggler, tossing the stone balls into the air and catching them with his own hands.

The stone ball was so big that it took two people to hug it, but Yun Zihai did it with ease.

He narrowly escaped death twice, once at the Transcendent Realm and once at the Extraordinary Realm.

He almost lost his life due to premature birth, but fortunately the hospital director intervened in time and saved him completely. Now his health is getting better and better.

Actually, his health was getting better and better, which was a good thing for him. He should have been overjoyed, but at this moment, although Yun Zihai was moving the stone ball on the surface, he could not hide the worry in his eyes.

No one knows the reason; only he himself knows the truth.

Not long ago, a strange thing happened that left him completely baffled.

His health improved, and he no longer thought about attaining sainthood; he only wished for peace.

Moreover, he also obtained an official position in this Barbarian Territory, which allowed him to use his power to benefit the local people, something he had been pursuing.

But just a few nights ago, he suddenly experienced something strange; he had a dream.

In his dream, he was in a daze, and countless doors appeared around his body.

He couldn't figure out why, but he could accurately sense through the dream that something terrifying was hidden behind those doors.

Moreover, these doors were inexplicably absorbing the power from his body.

The rapid absorption made him feel exhausted.

Even though it was a dream, the feeling was just like reality.

He suddenly had a realization: could his poor health be related to these doors? In this dream, he couldn't even move, and the doors were tightly closed.

After having this dream for several days in a row, the dream finally underwent a dramatic change.

In my dream, one of the countless tightly closed doors suddenly opened quietly.

Yun Zihai could sense that there was something terrifying inside the door, seemingly wanting to come out, but it was just one step away.

Because of the changes in his dream, Yun Zihai is now increasingly worried.

And most importantly, last night he had an urge to open all the doors.
