Little Nightmare!

This ‘man’ was the Supreme King’s pet. Many people called it ‘Lord Nightmare’.

During that incident in the capital at the third lunar eclipse, Little Nightmare had detonated its body to help Wang Chong escape, leaving it with only a wisp of a soul. But after three years, with the help of the Foundation Dimension, Little Nightmare had been restored. Not only that, it had been able to use this rare moment of peace to grow even stronger, not just in Psychic Energy, but also in obtaining a perfect physical body.

While Wang Chong was in seclusion, it had presided over affairs, working together with Li Xuantu’s God Vanquisher Group. The two of them used the same system, but they had different duties.

Li Xuantu’s main task was to watch the movements of the Celestial God Organization and track them down, so the God Vanquisher Group had more people and resources.

Little Nightmare had a much smaller force, but its mission was even more important. They had only one goal—to find the location of Heaven’s real body and rescue Xu Qiqin—and their current method was infiltration.

The Celestial God Organization was not watertight, but they had strict laws, and they were extremely careful about keeping secrets.

The members of the Celestial God Organization came from all countries: Han, Mengshe Zhao, Turks, Arabs… As they had so many people from various countries, it became possible to infiltrate the organization. Moreover, on many occasions, they would use masks to hide their faces.

The faceless man had been able to infiltrate this way, and so long as one was careful, others could naturally succeed as well.

For three years, their efforts had not let them down, and they had made some progress. Led by the faceless man, these individuals, known as the Informers, had managed to get seven people into the Celestial God Organization.

These Informers were very special. Once they had successfully infiltrated the organization, they ceased any communication with the capital and would not take any reckless actions. Normally, they would act the same as any other member of the organization. With their formidable talent, they were able to rise higher and higher in the ranks, receiving favor and promotions. Their ultimate goal was to find out where Heaven was located.

But it wasn’t too long ago that the Celestial God Organization somehow realized something was off, and the Informers that had infiltrated the organization had all been purged. Only the faceless man had managed to escape.

Most importantly, the faceless man had left a mark near the northern base indicating that he had already found a clue leading to Xu Qiqin and Heaven.

After this, the capital began a large-scale operation.

“There is still no news?” Little Nightmare muttered, its brow furrowing.

There was no need to talk about how important Xu Qiqin was to Wang Chong. If not for Heaven, the two of them would have already been married. In these last three years, none of them had given up on finding her.

Little Nightmare quickly came back to its senses.

“Immediately send more men. Scour the entire north. In addition, contact the Turks. Have them send their shepherds to join the search,” Little Nightmare said sternly.

After a pause, it added, “Pass on my order. Contact Young Master Qingyang and General Li on the front. I need to know their latest movements. No matter what, we must bring back the faceless man.”

“Yes!”

Once the guard departed, the hall fell silent once more.

Little Nightmare looked out the window and began to think.

“Given the time that has passed, they should have arrived by now. Regardless of what has happened, there is no doubt that the faceless man has information that is vital to us!”

……

……

Far to the north, on the vast steppe, several figures surrounded by vast energies rapidly appeared amidst thundering hooves.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! As they got close, they swiftly dismounted.

They looked at the mark on the ground and suddenly said, “It’s a mark left by Zhang Qiantuo.”

This was a pile of stones arranged into a clover shape. At the center was a grass stalk that was commonly seen throughout the steppe, which pointed south. Near the pile of stone was a triangle design. This was a sign that only Zhang Qiantuo would have left.

Only a few people in the Great Tang knew of the faceless man’s true identity, but Young Master Qingyang and company were some of them.

The grass stalk pointing south represented the faceless man’s former identity, the Governor of Jiannan who had lost his wife and children.

This would forever be a source of grief for him, so he had designed this mark in order to remember his wife and children.

On the side, Young Master Qingyang’s guard, Sword Dragon, squatted down and grabbed at the loose earth next to the pile of stone. As it shifted around, it was possible to see that the soil was streaked with blood.

“His injuries are bad. This isn’t looking good.”

The other party had taken great pains to wipe them away, but they had still been able to easily find it.

“The faceless man has always been cautious and would never have left a flaw like this. His injuries are probably more serious than we initially expected,” Invincible Great General Li Siye said in his gruff and deep voice, his face stricken with concern.

He had met the faceless man a few times. Ever since that incident, the man had completely changed, becoming extremely cautious. He would have never committed such an obvious error.

“There’s something that I don’t understand. Since he escaped, why didn’t the faceless man directly tell us where Xu Qiqin and Heaven were?” Li Siye said.

The faceless man had left behind information, but it did not mention where Heaven had been sealed or Xu Qiqin’s location. This was one of the main reasons they had made no progress in this operation.
