"Hmm," Chen Hao nodded, then took out the ancestral Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism from his chest. "This book is an old friend of our family; it always appears at critical moments. It called to me again just now!"

The other four people beside him looked at Chen Hao with blank expressions.

Chen Hao flipped through the Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism, letting out a helpless sigh, thinking to himself that you probably won't believe it, but I had always kept this book in a small wooden box, it sneaked into my clothes on its own.

About three minutes later, Chen Hao, who had been engrossed in the book, suddenly raised his head, a glint of light flashing through his eyes. He smiled and said, "I've got it!"

Then, he gestured to the other four to come closer and whispered, "Come here, I'll tell you how to deal with the nightmare spirits!"

The four leaned in close to Chen Hao.

At the end of the spirit communication section of the Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism, twelve different Talisman Seals were illustrated, with the last one being the Dream Lock Chains Talisman.

The so-called Dream Lock Chains involve writing several identical Dream Lock Chains Talismans and carrying them on different people. Once these people fall asleep, if one person is trapped in a dream, the others will also enter the same dream. Moreover, unless these people die in the dream, their Yin Souls will be bound by the dream indefinitely;

The Dream Lock Chains Talisman was devised by an ancient Onmyoji, whose wife was afflicted with an incurable disease. Later, as his wife lay dying, the Onmyoji spent three months and finally devised the Dream Lock Chains Talisman, and the couple remained together forever in the dream realm of the Onmyoji;

Three hundred years ago, an ancestor of the Chen Family, Chen Jing, accidentally discovered this Talisman Seal and used it in collaboration with the Wind Girl to eliminate the Primordial Demon of nightmares. He then illustrated this talisman at the end of the spirit communication section in the Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism.

The method Chen Hao thought of was to have several people carry the same Dream Lock Chains Talismans. If the nightmare spirits invade someone's dream again, they would be able to join forces in the dream and vanquish the nightmare spirits.

After hearing what Chen Hao had said, Xie Xiaofeng exclaimed loudly and then looking at the Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism in Chen Hao's hand, he mused, "This is indeed a remarkable book. I reckon our family has a similar one, it's just that my grandfather hasn't passed it down to me!"

"Hmm!" Tang Jing nodded, her brows furrowing slightly. "Although this is a good method, I'm worried that if we get separated and they disguise themselves as one of us, what then?"

"Exactly!" Tang Chao nodded in agreement. "I definitely won't be able to tell if it's one of us or not!"

"Then let's all remember," Chen Hao said coldly, "if we meet someone we know in the dream, we must immediately avoid and distance ourselves from them! If they don't move away, then they are not one of us and can be killed without hesitation!"

"Oh," Tang Jing and Tang Chao nodded, their expressions bitter, seeming somewhat troubled.

Xie Xiaofeng then asked, "If all of us enter the dream and someone approaches us in reality, what do we do then?"

"I'll be watching over you!" Ye Yuqiao said.

Tang Chao looked at Ye Yuqiao in surprise. "You seem to know a lot, and your intuition is so accurate. Logically, it should have been me watching over you all from the outside."

Ye Yuqiao offered a wry smile and explained, "I only have the Yang Spirit, and so I cannot be locked together with your dreams, which is why I alone was not invaded by the nightmare spirits earlier!"

When Ye Yuqiao said this, Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, and Tang Chao were all shocked. They had almost forgotten about this, and couldn't help feeling sorrow for Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao: without the Yin Soul, they could not have children. If Chen Hao was set on Ye Yuqiao for life, it meant that the couple would not be able to have children in the future, and the lineage of the Chen Family, an occult family passed down for generations, would be severed.

Seeing the sorrow on their faces, Ye Yuqiao also unconsciously fell into a sad mood, thinking that she, not belonging to the mortal world, was indeed not suitable to be with Chen Hao.

"What's with everyone looking so down?" Chen Hao asked knowingly, then he walked over to Ye Yuqiao, took her hand firmly, and quickly changed the topic, "You'll be on your own after we enter the dream realm, so be careful! If you encounter danger, remember to use 'that.' Don't worry, I will definitely protect you in the future!"

Feeling the warmth from Chen Hao's palm and the determination in his eyes, Ye Yuqiao's lips slightly curved upwards in a nod. She understood what Chen Hao referred to as "that": the Nether King's Power.

Afterwards, Chen Hao took out four blank yellow talismans from the box and drew identical talisman seals on each one.

Once they were ready, Chen Hao, Tang Jing, Tang Chao, and Xie Xiaofeng each pressed their own blood imprint onto the dream-locking chain talisman they had received.

Chen Hao closed his eyes and, according to the hints in the "Book of Yin and Yang Exorcism," chanted a spell with a series of unintelligible murmurs.

Then, the five of them returned to the tent again.

Before going to sleep, Chen Hao took out the Nether Wind Chime and hung it inside Ye Yuqiao's tent; if any filthy things approached, the chime would sway and make a sound to alert Ye Yuqiao.

The night sky was profound, and the fog enshrouded the forest, as if in a dream.

After tossing and turning for some time, the exhausted group finally fell asleep.

Time passed unknowingly, and the wind chime began to tinkle with a clear sound.

Ye Yuqiao suddenly woke up; she opened her eyes, sat up, and gently shook Tang Jing who was beside her, calling out, "Tang Jing, Tang Jing!"

Seeing that Tang Jing did not wake up after a long time, Ye Yuqiao surmised they must all have entered the dream world.

Ye Yuqiao got up, walked out of the tent, and sat next to the campfire. She kept watch over the other four inside the tent while staring at the campfire and thinking about her relationship with Chen Hao.

As she thought, Ye Yuqiao couldn't help but shed pitiable tears of beauty. The firelight shining on her face made her tear-streaks look as red as blood.

"Chen Hao, I miss you!" Ye Yuqiao wept to the fire. In the bright flames at that moment, she saw Chen Hao's resolute smiling face.

Suddenly!

A heavy hand landed on Ye Yuqiao's shoulder.

Ye Yuqiao shuddered, and quickly turned around.

"Tang Chao!" Ye Yuqiao breathed a sigh of relief, "You came out of the dream?"

Tang Chao twisted his mouth in a bitter smile and awkwardly chuckled, "Yeah, after entering the dream world, it was just me. I wandered in the fog for a bit, then suddenly saw my sister fall into a trap. Without a second thought, I rushed to save her. And then, then..."

Feeling ashamed, Tang Chao was too embarrassed to continue.

Ye Yuqiao smiled at Tang Chao, consoling him, "It's okay! You are a kind and simple person; it really is hard for you to take part in such things."

Seeing Ye Yuqiao's charming smile, Tang Chao, who had always seen her as a goddess, immediately blushed.

Meanwhile, within the dream world.

Tang Jing was hearing Chen Hao's cries for help.
