Chapter 1229: Bringing Up the Past

Lu Shu looked at the ghost general . “Can you speak?”

“Are you the person who took away the Seal of Lands?” The ghost general asked . A low voice sounded from the gap in its jaw .

To be honest, the ghost general was slightly dejected . Back then, when the Seal of Lands was taken away, it did not even see who had taken it . A group of Heavenly Network soldiers had been attacking, while Li Yixiao grabbed his spear and did not let go . In the end, it gave up on its spear and retreated back to the ghost mansion . But the Seal of Lands was gone .

Back then, 12 terracotta soldiers were protecting the place . Based on the information the terracotta soldiers had reported, not only had the young man taken away the Seal of Lands, he had even taken their spears! What a cheater!

Lu Shu laughed cheerily . “Yes, I was the one who took it . ”

But at that moment, the ghost general suddenly knelt down . “Welcome, God Lu!”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded . “How did you know?”

“Back then, when you threatened the terracotta soldiers, you used your representative weapon . ” The ghost general earnestly said, “I did not expect to be able to see you again . ”

“Wait . ” Lu Shu was very surprised . “You have seen Corpsedog before . ”

Back then, he had relied on the ability of Corpsedog to kill spirits and took away 12 magical spears from the terracotta soldiers . But even Zhang Weiyu and the rest did not recognize Corpsedog . Why did this ghost general recognize it? This ghost general was different .

“Of course I have seen Corpsedog,” said the ghost general . “Once I have seen it, I can never forget about it . ”

“I thought everyone who has seen Corpsedog is dead . ” Lu Shu was puzzled .

The ghost general hesitated . Suddenly, he said, “Am I not dead…”

Lu Shu was silent .

Oh . Lu Shu finally understood . This ghost general had been killed by the old King of Gods . Thus, it had seen Corpsedog before…

Lu Shu had not thought about this . There was nothing wrong with this logic . All the people who had seen Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow were dead . The one in front of him was a dead person after all…

Lu Shu did not know whether to laugh or to cry . “I don’t look like the old King of Gods either . ”

“Typically, your appearance changes all the time . I only need to see the weapons you are carrying . The last time you came, you changed your appearance as well,” said the ghost general carefully . Although he had also sensed that something was wrong, he did not dare to say anything .

Lu Shu realized that the old King of Gods also carried the mask to change his appearance when he traveled . Thus, the mask he had obtained in the past was also frequently used by the old King of Gods .

Lu Shu sighed with emotion . If only he had known earlier that everyone who protected the remains liked to curry favor . Why did he waste so much energy back then? He should have just revealed his identity .

Of course, he was being rash . After all, there were many traitors among those who protected the remains, such as the Blood Devil . He did not know whether it would be a blessing or a curse if they knew his identity .

Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi had always been helping him to gather his old army, but many people did not even listen to the Puppet Masters .

People changed . The problem of loyalty was a hoax . They were only loyal towards power, not a certain person .

Thus, Lu Shu did not feel that it was a pity for the guardians of the remains to have died . After all, this ghost general had been killed by the old King of Gods . Why was he killed? He must have committed a mistake .

Lu Shu observed the ghost general . “When were you sent here?”

“There are no seasons here, so I have forgotten . Probably a few decades ago . Over the past few years, I have suffered everyday . I now know where I have gone wrong . God Lu, please let me out . I will atone for my crimes with good deeds,” said the ghost general as he knelt down .

The ghost general was sincere, but Lu Shu shook his head . He did not intend to let this ghost out . After all, he did not understand this ghost general .

If Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi were around, he would be able to ask about the ghost general . But Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi were eating hotpot in the Luniverse . This was worrying .

The ghost general did not even dare to lift up its head . It could be seen how terrifying the old King of Gods was in its heart . Lu Shu curiously asked, “What were you in your previous life?”

The ghost general was suddenly dumbfounded . How could Lu Shu not know about his previous identity after killing him? This did not make sense .

The ghost general started to doubt Lu Shu’s identity . If the person in front of it was really God Lu, he would not have had to take away the Seal of Lands secretly . There was no one in this world who was able to defeat God Lu, right?

But Lu Shu’s strength was like the stars in the night sky . It could be fake . At least, the ghost general would not be able to defeat him .

This conflicting information confused the ghost general . It could not wrap its head around what exactly had happened .

“In my previous life, I was a Rank One palace guard,” said the ghost general after some deliberation .

“What is your name?” Lu Shu asked curiously .

“Xu Yuanxuan,” said the ghost general .

Lu Shu was dumbfounded . He took out Seizing Thief and pointed it at the ghost general . “I was asking you for your name . What pinyin[1] are you talking about?”

The ghost general was about to burst into tears . “What is pinyin? My real name is Xu Yuanxuan!”

“From Xu Yuanxuan’s distress, +666!”

“Oh . ” Lu Shu nodded his head, indicating that he had understood . The name Xu Yuanxuan seemed to have taken a different approach from “Le Yulu”, but the result was the same…

Lu Shu asked . “Then why did I kill you?”

The ghost general was shocked . You were the one who killed me . Why were you asking me? He could not accept this . It sounded like he would be killed…

It was like being scolded by one’s parents when one was young . When they asked you whether you knew where you had gone wrong, they did not want you to actually know what mistake you had committed . They just wanted to humiliate you…

Lu Shu unkindly said, “If you tell the truth, we will be done . Why are you hesitating?”

“Oh . ” The ghost general said, “That night, you wore casual clothes and walked around the palace of the King of Gods . I was guarding the north city gate . Suddenly there were sounds of murder from the palace of the King of Gods . Not long after, I saw Lord Arcane and Lord Zhang Weiyu . They wanted to pass through the north city gate . I did not dare to stop them and let them through . But after you returned, you were furious and killed the servants there and punished me, by never allowing me to reincarnate . Then, you ordered me to protect this place to make amends for my past crimes…”

Lu Shu calmly looked at Xu Yuanxuan . Had this happened 23 years ago? Thus, Xu Yuanxuan had probably been thrown here by the old King of Gods 23 years ago . Everything that had happened that night was probably plotted by Arcane, Zhang Weiyu, and the rest .

It was as if everything had started that night .

Lu Shu calmly asked, “Did you realize that anything was wrong that night?”

“Back then, I was panicking . Thus, I did not realize anything . ” Xu Yuanxuan said, “No . I have been thinking here for many years . Every time I recall what happened that night, I feel that one detail is very strange!”

Lu Shu furrowed his eyebrows . “What detail?”

“That night, Lord Zhang Weiyu and Lord Arcane were not injured . No one was injured . ” Xu Yuanxuan explained, “But the sounds of killing were very loud… someone should have been injured . ”
