The provided summary for the volume is as follows:
GUARDIAN OF DREAMS
With the help of Mergen, Hongjun and Li Jinglong have successfully roused the ghost king from his waking dream—but the danger is not yet over. The group soon learns that the one responsible for entrapping the ghost king is none other than the white deer Mergen seeks, a god of dreams who has fallen under the sway of the mysterious yao king. Worse still, the yao king has used the deer’s power to take control of the ghost king’s army, and more undead soldiers are on the way.
Before they can formulate a plan, Lu Xu, the fleet-footed scout Mergen rescued on the northern border, sets off alone in the snow. When Hongjun goes after him, he too finds himself snared in a nightmare of the enemy’s making—a vision of his own forgotten past that will upend everything he thought he knew about himself, his parents, and even Li Jinglong.

Legend of Exorcism: Tianbao Fuyao Lu (天宝伏妖录) is a webnovel series written by Arise Zhang (Fei Tian Ye Xiang). It was originally serialized on JJWXC starting in 2017, where it ran for 221 chapters.

Seven Seas Entertainment provides the following series summary:
In this thrilling high fantasy adventure set in ancient China, a naive young man must join hands with an unlucky general to protect the mortal world from evil spirits. This danmei novel series takes place in the same universe as Dinghai Fusheng Records and inspired multimedia adaptations, including the animated series/donghua!
In the mystical Taihang Mountains, where magic flows and powerful yao roam, Hongjun has grown up sheltered from the human world. A half-yao himself, he’s never had reason to leave—until the mountain’s ruler sends him on a dangerous mission: hide his true nature and join the Great Tang Department of Demonic Exorcism in Chang’an.
Upon arriving in the bustling capital, Hongjun meets Li Jinglong, a luckless soldier with no spiritual power tasked with leading a team of extraordinary exorcists. Together, they and their enigmatic companions must face the dark forces threatening the city. But as a bond begins to bloom between Hongjun and Li Jinglong, Hongjun wonders: Can he trust Li Jinglong with the truth of who—and what—he is?
Fei Tian (also known as Chicken-gege) has written many popular danmei works, including Dinghai Fusheng Records, Joyful Reunion, and To Rule in a Turbulent World.
