Chapter 672: Chapter 645: Nightmare Force
After the Flash Thunder Demon Lord left, Xu Fan's expression was somewhat melancholy.
As the saying goes, people with a sense of security tend to think about other things.
"Great Master, are you thinking about your Dao companion?" Zhan Ling asked with a smile.
"That Dao companion of mine, I don't know why she's always running around with her master."
"She's not here today, but she'll be somewhere else tomorrow," Xu Fan said.
He had a habit of divining every once in a while to check on his long-distance wife.
The results showed that she was relatively safe, but her location was always different.
And sometimes he couldn't divine her location, usually when she was in a larger Secret Realm.
"Great Master, when your Dao Companion returns next time, don't let her run around so much."
"With the current strength of the Hidden Spirit Sect, isn't there anything you can't get?" Zhan Ling asked with a smile.
"Every time I think about my Dao companion, I think about that jerk dragon who stole my treasure," Xu Fan sighed.
"There's an earthly saying, revenge is best served cold, and it's never too late."
"With the Great Master's talents, you will surely become the legendary existence in the future, then revenge will be not too late," Zhan Ling comforted.
"I'll have the power to take revenge in the future, but..."
Xu Fan was worried that jerk dragon wouldn't live long enough for that time to come.
"Dragons who are interested in Immortal Tools of the Cultivation World are probably not very strong. Great Master, if you push hard enough, you might be able to take your revenge in tens of thousands of years," said Zhan Ling.
"That would be the Immortal World's business," said Xu Fan.
At this moment, a light curtain suddenly appeared without warning in front of Xu Fan.
Xu Fan looked at the light curtain, his face becoming more and more serious.
"Pu Tao, have you sent someone to pick him up?" Xu Fan asked solemnly.
"He's already on his way, and he's expected to return to the sect in 5 days."
"The highest-grade life-extending Spiritual Pill in the treasure house has been brought."
Zhan Ling was also watching the light curtain, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Allocate 10% of your computing power for the rescue, and get that disciple back quickly."
"Since the establishment of the Hidden Spirit Sect, no disciple has perished."
"It hasn't happened before, and it won't happen in the future," Xu Fan said seriously.
Cangmu was a second-generation disciple, a very honest one.
With an ordinary, low-key manner and slightly above-average abilities, Cangmu didn't stand out at all. It was precisely because of this that Xu Fan highly valued him as a disciple.
Five days later, a Mahayana Puppet brought Cangmu back to the Hidden Spirit Sect.
Alchemy Peak, Medical Center.
Xu Fan appeared in front of the disciple and looked at the unconscious disciple with helpless eyes.
Because he was also powerless.
As soon as the puppet brought Cangmu back, Xu Fan saw him for the first time.
He then felt the bizarre power on Cangmu's body.
It seemed like a variant of the Reincarnation Power, like a bizarre illusion.
Despite using various methods, he couldn't wake the sleeping disciple.
Xu Gang, Xu Yuexian, and the others came to visit the disciple as well.
"Master, this seems like the legendary Nightmare Force," Li Xingci said.
"Nightmare Force?" Xu Fan looked puzzled at Li Xingci, something he had never seen in any records.
"This is also something I saw in the Reincarnation Dreamland."
"In the dream, the Nightmare Force is more like a spiritual type of Demonic Beast that devours people's dreams and spirits, everything except the physical body."
"Once it clings to someone, it's almost impossible to break free."
"When the Nightmare has devoured everything, only an empty shell remains," Li Xingci said, looking more solemn as he glanced at the unconscious Cangmu on the bed.
"Is there a standard solution?" Xu Fan asked.
Li Xingchi shook his head.
"There might be, but I don't know."
At this moment, Cangmu's eyelids on the bed moved slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes.
"Dying while returning to the Sect in a dream wouldn't be bad?"
Cangmu couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dreamland, but his current expression seemed very happy.
"Great Master, I am incompetent. I was infected by this curse,"
"I can only repay the Sect's kindness for raising me by being a cow or a horse in my next life."
As Xu Fan was about to speak, Cangmu closed his eyes again, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled, as if he saw something he didn't want to see.
Xu Fan's hand gently covered Cangmu's forehead, closed his eyes and started to explore the bizarre Nightmare Force inside Cangmu's body.
"Devouring everything except the physical body." Xu Fan muttered.
"You all leave. Let me think of a way to save Cangmu here." Xu Fan said.
All the Hidden Spirit Sect disciples entered through his tests.
Xu Fan witnessed their growth, from young and ignorant to their current accomplishments.
Although there were many Hidden Spirit Sect disciples, he couldn't bear to lose any of them.
At this time, only Cangmu and Xu Fan were left in the medical center.
Merit Treasure Cover appeared behind Xu Fan, a trace of Qi Fortune Energy bestowed on him.
And through him, it was bestowed on Cangmu's body as well.
"I can only use some unconventional ways."
Xu Fan explained to Pu Tao briefly. Purple light flickered in his palm, and he gently reached out to touch Cangmu's Baihui acupoint.
"Let me see how powerful this Nightmare Force is."
At the moment when Xu Fan's palm touched Cangmu's Baihui acupoint, the bizarre power on Cangmu's body quickly shifted to him.
In that instant, Xu Fan felt his soul and spirit being pulled into an unfathomable black hole.
In a bustling city, inside a coffee shop.
Xu Fan was a little dazed. He felt that this moment was as long as a thousand years, but nothing happened.
"Hey, did you hear what I was saying?"
In front of Xu Fan, there was a girl who barely had a score of 75.
"Sorry, I was lost in thought just now. What did you just say?"
Xu Fan recalled coming here after being forced by his mother to meet a blind date.
"I said, how much is your monthly salary?" The girl across from him looked a little dissatisfied with Xu Fan.
"Oh, I just graduated, my salary is not high. Including annual bonuses, it's less than 6000 a month." Xu Fan said a bit embarrassedly.
After Xu Fan said 6000, he clearly felt the disappointment in the girl's eyes.
During the subsequent conversation, the girl seemed to lose interest as well.
After a few words, she left without leaving her phone number and settled the coffee bill along the way.
On the way back, Xu Fan murmured to himself, "Is it too little to have 6000 just after graduation?"
"I don't have a house, but I can afford the down payment. Is it not okay?"
Both of them were very realistic, the girl didn't have various dislikes, and Xu Fan didn't pester her.
They were all good people, just not suitable for each other.
Outside a one-story courtyard, Xu Fan stood at the door for a long time, feeling as though he hadn't been home for hundreds of years.
"Why do I feel like I haven't been home for hundreds of years."
Xu Fan said softly as he pushed the door open.
"Little Fan, how did you get along with that girl?" A ordinary-looking middle-aged woman asked with concern.
"Mom, the girl was beautiful, and she didn't like your son very much."
For some reason, Xu Fan began to cry before he could finish his sentence.
"If it doesn't work, just find someone else. Why are you crying? You didn't seem to be sentimental before." The middle-aged woman joked but her eyes showed some distress.
"It's also your father and my fault for not being able to come up with that 300,000." The middle-aged woman sighed after speaking.
Xu Fan gently hugged the middle-aged woman.
"Mom, it doesn't matter anymore."
