The Spiral Mountain began to blur and collapse little by little after Yan Zu was captured.
This hellish mountain in dreams was Yan Zu's innate divine domain, only appearing where Yan Zu was located.
However, after Yan Zu was forcibly taken from here, the spiral mountain range naturally vanished along with Yan Zu.
The Sand Sea Priest looked curiously at the black long saber stuck in the ground, casting a questioning gaze at Wen Wen.
"Don't look at me, I don't know much either," Wen Wen shrugged.
For the Sand Sea Priest, this long saber had some connection to his family, and a part of him was within the complete saber. Therefore, he would not easily give up ownership of this black long saber.
He reached out and grasped the hilt, attempting to pull the long saber from the ground.
But as soon as his hand grasped it, he felt a powerful repulsive force; the saber was rejecting him.
Although he could overcome this repulsive force if he wished, he recalled the scene of Wen Wen stabbing Yan Zu's posterior with the saber, and he knew the saber had already made its choice.
"It seems it doesn't like me very much. Then this saber will be yours from now on."
The Sand Sea Priest smiled nonchalantly, took two steps back, and gestured to Wen Wen. Wen Wen easily picked up the long saber, and it then merged into his body.
As for how Wen Wen could discern that the masked Sand Sea Priest was smiling, that could only be a guess.
This saber could easily inflict damage on Yan Zu, likely surpassing the Blood River Sword as a divine weapon. He now had another powerful killer weapon in his hands.
"It seems you captured Yan Zu just now. Will he reappear?" the Sand Sea Priest asked seriously.
Wen Wen chuckled, "He definitely won't appear again. Even if he does, he won't have the chance to do evil anymore."
"That's good. This is my pager number. If there are any complications with the Yan Zu matter, remember to find me."
With a wave of his hand, the Sand Sea Priest caused sand to compress itself, forming a gem-like card with a string of numbers on it.
Watching the Sand Sea Priest's retreating back, Wen Wen scratched his head.
"He must be someone living in a past era. What era is it now, still using pagers?"
Then Wen Wen touched the texture of the card and sighed inexplicably. It seemed this person was not short of money, casually manufacturing such artisan-grade gem cards himself.
As the Spiral Mountain collapsed, people in the dreams were being liberated one by one. Gao Fangzhou, who looked several years older and had lost hope, saw the dream shattering and was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.
As he left, he saw Wen Wen's blurry image and knew Wen Wen had saved him. He resolved to repay Wen Wen well in the future.
Hu Youling was hidden by Yan Zu in the deepest part of the Spiral Mountain, a place he used to collect interesting souls. Therefore, it was the last to collapse.
As soon as Wen Wen entered Hu Youling's dream, he instinctively covered his nose.
The air here was filled with a large amount of drugs that stimulated desire, possessing a pungent aphrodisiac scent.
In this space, handsome men and beautiful women could be seen everywhere, their expressions disoriented as they engaged in inappropriate activities.
"This... a good place."
Wen Wen's eyes lit up. He wanted to feast his eyes but also felt a bit shy.
After all, such scenes could not be seen anywhere on Earth because there weren't so many top-tier handsome men and beautiful women.
Ultimately, reason prevailed over desire. Wen Wen didn't want to change clothes when he woke up. He found Hu Youling on the topmost level of this Spiral Mountain.
At this moment, Hu Youling was sleeping soundly. The environment had not affected her at all. Had it been a fox woman from before, she would have gone mad.
Wen Wen grabbed her fox tail, dragged her off the bed, and said to her menacingly, "I risked my life to fight the Illusion Dream Old Immortal, and you're sleeping in?"
Hu Youling was dragged off the bed clutching her blanket, looking at Wen Wen with sleepy eyes, and then said with surprise, "Oh, you finally came to save me. The vampire was right."
"Right about what? Wake up for me, quickly!"
Wen Wen fiercely tugged at her fox ears, causing Hu Youling to yelp in pain and her long legs to kick wildly. With tears in her eyes, she begged for mercy. Only then did her dream begin to destabilize and then collapse, and Hu Youling vanished from Wen Wen's hands.
After Hu Youling disappeared, Wen Wen floated in mid-air, chains emanating from him, piercing through the dreams one by one, returning the consciousness of the dream masters to reality.
"You all should wake up early too. This is no place to stay long."
The dreams on the topmost level of the Spiral Mountain were different from those on the outer layers. People in the outer dreams had some issues, while those in the inner dreams were considered relatively interesting by Yan Zu.
Therefore, these people might not have committed any wrongdoing, but were merely collectibles brought in by Yan Zu.
As the dreams shattered, all these people vaguely saw Wen Wen's figure. The more Yan Zu tormented them, the more grateful they were to Wen Wen.
This gratitude lasted only for an instant before their consciousness returned to their bodies. However, this instant was enough to leave an imprint on their consciousness.
What happened in the subconscious dream could change a person's perception. This was the deepest, most fundamental dream layer, far deeper than the subconscious dream. The imprint of gratitude towards Wen Wen would become incredibly firm.
After waking up, they would spontaneously find ways to repay Wen Wen, even if they might never encounter him.
The Spiral Mountain completely disappeared, and Wen Wen was expelled from the dream.
He carried Dalia, who was still groggy, and dumped her near her home. Her family was powerful and wealthy. Once she appeared here, her family would naturally find her.
Of course, what they would get was a completely different Dalia. Hopefully, they wouldn't be too surprised.
Then Wen Wen looked up at the sky, which presented distinct shades of gray and pink.
This was the anomaly that appeared in the sky when he contained Yan Zu, an anomaly that appeared in the real world and covered a vast area.
In a small shop by the street, a television was on, showing news from the North American region.
The news reported a rare astronomical phenomenon in the North American region, a beautiful sight formed by the convergence of a certain gas in the clouds and sunlight at an opportune angle.
This phenomenon was similar in nature to a rainbow but was more difficult to form, so there was no need for alarm.
Wen Wen shrugged. He was all too familiar with such explanations; they were even more exaggerated than the news about meteorites falling from the sky.
Afterward, Wen Wen returned to the containment facility. He had many matters to attend to, but the most crucial task now was to interrogate Yan Zu. He had too many questions he wanted to ask Yan Zu clearly.
Yan Zu was confined on the fourth floor of the containment facility, placed next to Aigel. The cell was filled with gray-pink gas, and countless chains bound him, ensuring he could not escape the facility.
