She carefully introduced him to Lu Ning, saying, "This guy is one of the Silver Mist Apostles of the Mind Sect! He's very powerful. Master has fought him before and never gained the upper hand. Master is in very poor condition now, so things might get very bad."

Lu Ning listened to Lin Wuyue's explanation and nodded slightly: "Oh."

The Silver Mist Apostles are high-ranking members of the Mind Sect, as Lu Ning had learned about them when he was researching the Mind Sect.

I never expected him to be so strong, at the Saint level.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. The Dream Ruler is obviously a powerful evil god, and it's not surprising that a high-level follower of such an evil god would possess saint-level strength.

It's not impossible that they might even possess demigod-level strength.

Lu Ning guessed that some members of the cult probably possessed demigod-level power; otherwise, how could they have survived to this day in the face of demigods from the Human Federation?

Jorge chuckled softly: "Anlocks, you've wronged me this time. I was just conducting a small experiment here when someone unexpectedly sent me such a generous gift. What could I do but accept it?"

Hearing this, Anlocks frowned and sneered, "Heh, trying to fool me? We've fought so many times, do you think you can fool me?"

Jorge clicked his tongue: "This time I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, ask my apprentice."

Jörg pointed to the blond youth beside him.

The blond youth, with his unique arrogance, looked at Bai Jingming, whose face was contorted with rage and whose eyes were filled with resentment: "When I found Jerry's soul crystal, I suspected that someone had done this on purpose. I didn't expect that it was true, and it was you, my dear father-in-law?"

Everyone's expression changed drastically upon hearing the blond youth's words.

Li Yihang, Colin, and the others standing nearby stared at Bai Jingming in disbelief.

Li Yihang's pupils trembled, and his voice also trembled slightly as he stared intently at Bai Jingming: "Old Bai... is that bastard lying to us?"

"Yes, Dean Bai, don't we know you? Although you have a bit of a temper now, you've never been careless when it comes to treating and saving lives. How could it be you?"

"Dean Bai... why is this man calling you father-in-law?"

Seeing Bai Jingming's resentful expression, everyone's hearts sank lower and lower.

Their eyes still held disbelief as they looked at Bai Jingming.

Bai Jingming completely ignored Li Yihang and the others' questions.

He stared intently at the blond youth, his expression ferocious. "So it really was you, Moses! When I noticed something amiss in Ying'er's diary, I suspected it was you. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that a disease suddenly appeared?! Was it during your advancement trial at the Mind Sect?! I've wanted you dead ever since!"

Li Yihang couldn't stand it anymore. His eyes turned red, and he grabbed Bai Jingming by the collar and lifted him up.

"Bai Jingming, did you really do this?! What the hell have you done?! Do you even know how many people have died?!"

A complex look flashed in Bai Jingming's eyes, then he chuckled: "I know... but I can't let it go. Ever since I learned that Ying'er died because of this beast, I've been thinking about revenge all the time. I'm going crazy... no, I've already gone crazy, Director Li."

His voice was hoarse and twisted: "So I spared no expense to capture a few Dream Eaters and pry a tiny clue out of them, learning that these beasts feed on the mental power of the dream dimension..."

"But where can I find powerful mental energy? I thought there was no hope... but luck is on my side. Commander Jerry was backfired by the mental energy and mental crystals were expelled. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Bai Jingming's eyes were filled with pain, yet also with excitement, his expression conflicted: "I hesitated... but when I thought of Ying'er, all I wanted was revenge! I wanted that beast dead!"

"So I performed the ritual based on the few clues I had painstakingly collected, along with some records about this beast in Ying'er's diary."

“The fish has taken the bait… I know I can’t enter the dream dimension, nor can I kill this beast, so I’m trying to pull you in. You can enter the dream dimension. I can stay with you and watch this beast die…”

Bang!

Metallic colors appeared on Li Yihang's arm as he punched Bai Jingming in the face, smashing half of Bai Jingming's face into a bloody mess.

Bai Jingming was sent flying backwards and crashed heavily to the ground.

However, the flesh on his face was writhing, and the wounds were healing rapidly.

He lay on the ground, chuckling, "I know I'll die here... but you can't possibly coexist with this beast, can you? I believe you'll kill him. As long as he dies, I'm willing to give up everything—my life, my spirit, my soul... I don't need any of that."

Just as Bai Jingming finished speaking, the blond-haired youth who had been silent until now chuckled.

"Hehehe, hahaha, revenge, Master, did you hear that? Revenge! Hahahahaha! My dear father-in-law wants revenge! Hahahaha!"

Yog, standing to the side, also raised an eyebrow, revealing a half-smile.

"So that's how it is... Hehehe..."
