Chapter 608: It is a demon created by consuming nightmares

Lu Qing nodded and replied, "Indeed, we ignored our responsibilities to him in the past, which led to him not having a good impression of us. Now that we realize this, let's help him share his worries!"

Huo Yancheng thought for a while and said, "Since we have reached a consensus, why don't we go to the small room over there and have a small meeting to discuss what we should do next."

Fan Wujiu also nodded, and the three of them walked towards another room at the end of the corridor.

The three of them walked into the room, closed the door, and each found a place to sit down. There was a subtle atmosphere in the room, with a tacit understanding of cooperation, as well as competition and temptation between each other.

Lu Qing spoke first, his tone calm but with the majesty of a leader: "Since we have decided to share Jiang Luo's worries, we must formulate a clear plan. First of all, we need to solve the problem of the residual soul of the nightmare demon. Although it has been suppressed temporarily, it may come back at any time and must be completely eliminated."

Huo Yancheng nodded and took over the conversation: "Yes, the residual soul of the Nightmare Demon is a big hidden danger. But with our current strength, it is not easy to completely eliminate it. We need to find its weakness or seek help from external forces."

Fan Wujiu frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I remember reading in an ancient book that the power of the Nightmare Demon comes from the dark side of human heart. If we can find the source of its hiding place, maybe we can completely eliminate it."

Lu Qing glanced at him, with a hint of approval in his tone: "This is a good direction. Wu Jiu, can you find the specific content of that ancient book?"

Fan Wujiu nodded: "I can try. But it may take some time."

Huo Yancheng raised his eyebrows and said teasingly: "I didn't expect you to have such a skill. It seems that you are not completely useless."

Fan Wujiu shrugged and retorted, "It's better than someone who pretends to be serious and only speaks sarcastic words all day long."

Lu Qing shook his head helplessly and interrupted, "Okay, stop bickering between the two of you. The most important thing now is to solve the problem."

The two looked at each other, snorted lightly, but did not continue arguing.

Lu Qing continued, "In addition to the problem of the Nightmare Demon, we also need to consider Jiang Luo's condition. He is weak now and needs to rest, but with his temperament, I'm afraid he won't be able to rest peacefully. We have to think of a way to prevent him from overworking himself."

Huo Yancheng pondered for a moment and suggested: "Why don't we take turns staying by his side, so that we can take care of him and prevent him from over-expending his energy."

Fan Wujiu nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea. However, we have to coordinate the time so that he doesn't think we are monitoring him."

Lu Qing nodded slightly: "Indeed, Jiang Luo hates being restrained the most. We must know when to stop."

The three discussed for a while and finally finalized the preliminary plan: Lu Qing was responsible for coordinating the overall situation, Huo Yancheng was responsible for searching for clues about the Nightmare Demon, and Fan Wujiu was responsible for consulting ancient books to find a way to eliminate the Nightmare Demon. At the same time, they took turns to guard Jiang Luo to ensure his safety and health.

After the meeting, Fan Wujiu stood up, stretched, and said with a smile: "Finally, there seems to be some cooperation. I hope we can solve the problem smoothly this time."

Huo Yancheng snorted, with a hint of pride in his tone: "We are not bad to begin with, but we didn't use our minds on the right path before."

Lu Qing glanced at them and said calmly, "Okay, stop bragging. Let's act. Time is running out."

The three of them left the room and went their separate ways.

At the same time, the residual soul of the Nightmare Demon whispered in a dark corner, with a sinister light flashing in his eyes: "Heavenly Dao... Do you think you can rest easy like this? Your weakness is your emotions. When you are suspicious of each other and fighting each other, it will be the time for me to make a comeback!"

On the first day, Lu Qing was responsible for guarding Jiang Luo, but he couldn't stand too close to him. He could only watch him from a distance.

Fan Wujiu is responsible for going to the Demon Realm to pick up Gu Ying. Gu Ying goes to the Demon Realm alone to gather information. In order for him to bring back the information he has gathered at any time, Fan Wujiu must travel quietly back and forth between the border between the Demon Realm and the Three Thousand Worlds.

Huo Yancheng was responsible for finding the whereabouts of the Nightmare Demon. He felt that his task was the most difficult because the Nightmare Demon's whereabouts were erratic and it would absorb various nightmares for energy to continuously strengthen itself.

Before looking for the Nightmare Demon, he planned to go to Jiang Luo to find out what the Nightmare Demon's weakness was.

He took advantage of the time before lunch to knock on Jiang Luo's door and found that Jiang Luo was not resting, but was reviewing the list of Human Emperors reported by various parties. When he saw Huo Yancheng coming in, he immediately hid under the pillow.

Huo Yancheng said helplessly, "Xiao Luo, it's not that I don't allow you to work, I just let you work sometimes. Look at you, you haven't recovered yet, but you've already started working quietly. Yes, you are the Heavenly Dao, but this world can still function without the Heavenly Dao. You have so many subordinates, do you have to review them personally? Besides, does this society have to have a human emperor? Like our world line 0001, we also went directly from a feudal society to a modern society. In fact, there's nothing wrong with giving some power to the rulers of this world."

Jiang Luo felt a little guilty. He nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. I'll consider it. What do you want to talk to me about?"

The topic must be changed, otherwise Huo Yancheng would keep nagging me for who knows how long.

Huo Yancheng knew that he was trying to change the subject on purpose, so he didn't give him any face and said, "I want to ask you what the weakness of the Nightmare Demon is? What kind of monster is it?"

Jiang Luo thought for a moment and said, "As the name suggests, it is a demon created by absorbing nightmares. Its strength does not lie in its power, but in its ability to cause harm. When we faced it, it did not play even one tenth of its role. A high-level demon like this can at least cause tens of thousands of people to fall into nightmares at the same time. It then absorbs their nightmares to strengthen its own power. As for its weaknesses..."

Jiang Luo lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "I guess it originated from a child's nightmare."

Huo Yancheng's expression froze and he asked, "Child?"

Jiang Luo nodded and said, "Yes, child. Because each nightmare has its own characteristics, nightmares from children have one thing in common, that is, the sound it makes is like a child crying."

Huo Yancheng thought about it and it seemed to be true. The nightmare demon that day really sounded like a child crying.

At this time, Huo Yancheng thought of someone and asked, "Aye?"

If it is the nightmare of the demon boy, then it makes sense. The demon boy has a deep demonic aura, and his nightmare can naturally breed a more powerful nightmare demon.

Jiang Luo also nodded: "I guess so. You might as well try to ask. But be careful not to scare the child. Children are usually very resistant to talking about their nightmares."

Huo Yancheng responded: "Okay, I understand, I'll go ask him now!"

Huo Yancheng stood up and prepared to leave. He looked back at Jiang Luo and said with some concern: "Xiao Luo, you must remember to rest and stop working secretly. Your health is important."

Jiang Luo nodded helplessly and replied softly: "I know, don't worry."

Huo Yancheng then left the room with satisfaction and walked towards Aye. Aye was a demon child created by Ling Wuchen in collusion with the current Demon Lord of the Demon Realm. Although he was young, he was born with a strong demonic energy and was the son of the previous Demon Lord. If he was really the source of the Nightmare Demon, then things would become much more complicated.

At this time, Ah Ye was sitting in the yard playing, holding a flashing black magic crystal in his hand, with a focused look. Huo Yancheng walked to his side, squatted down, and tried to speak gently: "Ah Ye, what are you playing?"

Ah Ye raised his head and saw that it was Huo Yancheng. A smile appeared on his face: "Uncle Huo, I am studying this magic stone. It seems to have strong magic power."

Huo Yancheng smiled and patted his head: "That's amazing. Ah Ye, uncle wants to ask you something, is that okay?"

Ah Ye nodded, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "What's the matter?"

Huo Yancheng thought for a moment and asked softly, "Aye, have you ever had some... not-so-good dreams? For example, dreams that made you feel scared or sad?"

Ah Ye's smile gradually disappeared, and his face turned pale. He lowered his head, and nervously pinched the magic stone with his fingers, and whispered: "Yes... I often have nightmares. There are many terrible things in the dreams, they chase me, and I can't run away..."

Huo Yancheng's heart tightened, and his tone became gentler: "Aye, don't be afraid. Those nightmares are just dreams, they can't hurt you. Uncle will help you solve them, okay?"

Ah Ye raised his head, tears in his eyes: "Really? But... I feel like they are very real, as if they really exist."

Huo Yancheng patted his shoulder gently and comforted him: "Don't worry, the uncles will protect you. Can you tell your uncles what those nightmares are like?"

Ah Ye hesitated for a moment, then spoke slowly: "They are like black shadows. Sometimes they turn into scary monsters and make scary noises, like... like a baby crying..."

Huo Yancheng understood clearly in his heart that the source of the nightmare was indeed Ah Ye's nightmare. He nodded and said softly, "Ah Ye, you are very brave. Uncle will help you deal with these nightmares, and you will not have nightmares anymore, okay?"

Ah Ye nodded, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Thank you, Uncle Huo."

Huo Yancheng stood up, with a clear direction in mind. He said goodbye to Aye and immediately went to the demon world to meet Fan Wujiu, ready to tell him this important clue.

The Nightmare Demon is on the run and it is impossible for it to stay in the Three Thousand Worlds for a long time. It is very likely that it will roam along the border, using illusions to create nightmares to increase its own power while finding a convenient place to hide.
