My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 266: Chapter 265: Ancient Dream Realm

Jiang Zuo left the Tianhe Group and went straight to the patient’s hotel. Instead of calling, he went directly to the room.

Upon arriving, Jiang Zuo knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly, revealing a haggard-looking man.

"You are...?" the man asked, mustering what little energy he had.

"I’m from the Tianhe Group, here about the commission," Jiang Zuo answered.

The man’s spirits instantly lifted. He immediately spoke with reverence, "A Master from the Tianhe Group? Please, come in."

He stepped aside to let Jiang Zuo pass.

Jiang Zuo didn’t stand on ceremony and walked straight inside.

It was a hotel suite, and the living room was empty.

The man then led the way for Jiang Zuo. "Master, this way. The patient is my daughter."

The man was thrilled that someone from the Tianhe Group had come, even though he didn’t know exactly what the Tianhe Group was.

A friend had told him that no one from the Tianhe Group was an ordinary person and that they must be treated with the utmost caution. This had led him to form a few theories of his own.

His friend had also helped him post the commission. They had even moved here from far away, hoping that by being closer, more people might respond.

But after several days of waiting, only a few people had shown up, and all of them had left shaking their heads.

It was making him desperate, but he still clung to a sliver of hope.

His friend had said the reward wasn’t appealing enough, but there was nothing he could do about it. All he had to offer was cash.

And this was all he could afford to give.

Led by the man, Jiang Zuo entered the bedroom.

There were three other adults in the room, but Jiang Zuo paid them no mind. His gaze fell directly on the young woman on the bed.

Compared to her photo, the girl had long lost her youthful vitality.

Her eyes were open but vacant, and her body was covered in injuries.

She clutched the woman beside her. "Mom, just let me die. I can’t take it anymore. I’m so tired."

The others then noticed Jiang Zuo’s arrival, but before they could say anything, he spoke directly to the girl, "Close your eyes and sleep."

The girl stared blankly at Jiang Zuo, then her eyes filled with terror. She shook her head frantically. "No."

Jiang Zuo said, "I will ensure your safety. I don’t want to waste time. Sleep."

At Jiang Zuo’s command to sleep, the girl closed her eyes, no matter how terrified she looked.

Everyone stared at Jiang Zuo in stunned disbelief. The woman beside the girl—her mother—started to speak, but her husband stopped her.

He could sense it—this man was completely different from the others. There was no wasted talk, no hesitation.

He acted with swift and decisive purpose, without any unnecessary conversation.

’Powerful people don’t usually need to waste words, much less use them as a crutch.’

’After many years in business, I can tell this man wouldn’t be suited for it. But he clearly doesn’t operate in the world of commerce.’

He vaguely recalled a question his friend had once asked him: ’Do you believe there are people in this world with superhuman abilities, who can fly through the heavens and move through the earth?’

That was when he realized the Tianhe Group was likely just such an organization.

The previous people who had come hadn’t been able to do anything, but their auras had all been different from that of an ordinary person.

He could tell that much, at least.

But before the man could think any further, Jiang Zuo was already in motion.

Jiang Zuo moved to the girl’s side. Looking down at her, he thought, ’The Ancient Dream Realm has been opened. Even if it’s just a fissure, that’s enough for them to cause a lot of trouble.’

Many people were unaware of the existence of the Ancient Dream Realm, but Jiang Zuo had encountered it before. Its inhabitants were utterly lawless, believing that by hiding within dreams, they held an absolute advantage and were invincible.

After the Ancient Dream Realm opened wide, those creatures had actually tried to invade his Dream Realm.

Jiang Zuo had admired their courage. So, to show his gratitude, he had annihilated the entire Ancient Dream Realm, leaving no one alive.

On that day, countless beings had felt a terror originating from the Ancient Dream Realm, and amidst that terror, the Ancient Dream Realm was completely obliterated.

In Jiang Zuo’s era, it didn’t matter who you were or who you planned to cross—the one person you must never, ever provoke was him.

Besides Jiu Xi, no one could afford to get on his bad side.

The ones who emerged from the fissure in the Ancient Dream Realm were, in all likelihood, searching for the realm’s main gate.

Only by finding the main gate to the Ancient Dream Realm could they swarm out in full force. Then, the entire world would be shrouded in their nightmare.

But those who emerged from the fissure were usually weak Dream People. They needed to devour Dream Realms to strengthen themselves.

Nightmares were best.

They were similar to Nightmares, and the only ones who could face them without fear were Dream Nightmare Cultivators.

Even a Cultivator would be brought to their knees by a Dream Person of the same tier.

As for a Dream Nightmare Cultivator, a Dream Person would be unable to invade their dreams.

The one afflicting this girl was just such a weak Dream Person. In fact, it was so pathetically weak it couldn’t even stop an ordinary person from waking up.

The appearance of the fissure in the Ancient Dream Realm meant that more than one Dream Person had emerged. They would become parasites in the Dream Realms of Cultivators.

By doing so, they could control the Cultivator. Refusing them would only lead to one’s Dream Realm being devoured, followed by the annihilation of one’s mind.

The uninformed would be unable to fight back against the Dream People.

Of course, Jiang Zuo was not one of "the uninformed."

Even now, as a mere Tier Two Cultivator, crushing a Dream Person was as easy as crushing an ant for him. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Inside a Dream Realm, no Dream Person could ever be his match.

For him, his own dream was a boundless reflection of his past life. There, he was incomparably powerful.

’So this is just a measly Dream Person.’

After the girl fell into the Dream Realm, her complexion worsened, and she began to struggle.

Jiang Zuo walked to her side and tapped a finger on her forehead. Using a special Dharma Gate, he followed the traces of the intruder and entered her Dream Realm.

The moment he arrived, he saw the girl bound in mid-air, being gnawed upon by a mass of black fog.

From time to time, it would also lash her with whips of fog.

This lashing was a special Nightmare ability that could affect the physical body of the dream’s host.

This could be considered one of the Dream People’s Talents.

Jiang Zuo’s arrival naturally startled the Dream Person.

It looked at Jiang Zuo and couldn’t help but ask, "A Nightmare Cultivator?"

Jiang Zuo ignored it, instead glancing around. Just as he’d expected, he saw a fissure in the girl’s Dream Realm. Unfortunately, it was already close to sealing itself.

"The Ancient Dream Realm went to all that trouble just to send out a piece of trash like you? You can’t even kill a single ordinary person."

Jiang Zuo’s words startled the Dream Person. "You... who are you? How do you know about the Ancient Dream Realm?"

’The Ancient Dream Realm has been all but forgotten. That’s why we devised a way to get out and find the main gate in secret. As long as we devour or guide the gate’s owner, it will be time for the Ancient Dream Realm to rule the world once more.’

’But I never imagined that so soon after getting out, I’d run into someone who knows about the Ancient Dream Realm.’

Jiang Zuo didn’t answer the Dream Person’s question. Instead, he asked one of his own, "How many of you came out? It can’t have been just you, right?"

Without a second thought, the Dream Person turned to flee.
