Xiao Mei is a demon, and her cultivation method is different from ours.
She can absorb the essence and energy of souls to improve her cultivation.
After all, this kind of demonic soul essence and energy, it would be a waste not to absorb it.
After a few seconds, it would scatter without a trace, merging into heaven and earth.
As the powerful demon died, Hu San Tainai went on a killing spree ahead.
The west passage would be completely cleared.
The entire western battlefield would be cut off and surrounded by ghost cavalry.
Some ghost warriors brought by Qing Dai had already charged over.
One was to divide the battlefield.
The other was to protect us.
Now, we could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the situation on the entire battlefield.
We had a great advantage.
The scales of victory began to tip in our favor.
Victory was within our grasp…
The three of us looked at each other. We all appeared to be in a sorry state.
But our eyes were filled with joy and pride.
To go from death to life, this feeling, this psychological disparity and upheaval.
It couldn't be called good, but it was definitely deeply memorable.
Only those who have experienced it know how thrilling it truly was.
The hope of rebirth made us feel that living was such a wonderful thing…
“Xiao Mo, Xiao Qin, Qiu Xi…”
Suddenly, we heard our uncle’s voice.
Turning around, we saw our uncle and Yun Xia Gu coming towards us.
“Master!”
“Uncle!”
“…”
The three of us shouted.
And walked to meet them.
“Are you three alright?”
Yun Xia Gu spoke first.
“Yun Xia Gu, we are fine. I can still kill a few more ghosts.
Grandma said that true will cannot be defeated!”
Old Mo was fired up and spouted his chuunibyou words again.
He didn’t even care about his injuries and still wanted to fight.
Qiu Xi supported me:
“You should rest! You’ve lost so much blood, and still Grandma said…”
“Haha…”
I laughed, my uncle laughed, and Yun Xia Gu also laughed…
Because we all knew that we had basically survived.
As long as no major accidents occurred, with the escort of the three major forces, we would definitely be able to leave here safely.
Now that our lives were saved, as long as we didn’t die, it shouldn’t be a problem to get a ghost longevity coin bracelet and collect ghost lamps’ oil in the future?
As I was thinking, a horse neigh echoed.
“Hu ha ha ha…”
Turning our heads, we saw a warhorse leading nineteen other riders, galloping fiercely.
The last few ghosts blocking the way were ruthlessly reaped.
Without the obstruction of those demons, these ghost slaves created by Corpse Ghost Celestial Embryos posed no threat to them.
Behind the ghost cavalry were large battalions of ghost soldiers, who were now surrounding the ghost slaves and corpse monsters on the west battlefield.
Only death awaited them.
The warhorses galloped, and gusts of yin wind swept towards us. The cavalry team approached us.
At this moment, we could clearly feel the might emanating from the ghost cavalry.
The ghost cavalry were clad in armor, wearing black iron masks, carrying long spears, and having long swords at their waists, with long bows on their backs, looking majestic.
As they approached within three meters of us.
They all pulled on their reins.
“Hu ha ha ha…”
The twenty cavalry horses reared up, then stopped.
The twenty ghost warrior riders dismounted.
Seeing these twenty ghost warrior riders and feeling the immense ghostly aura they exuded, our uncle and Yun Xia Gu dared not underestimate them.
This ghostly aura had definitely reached the level of a red-clothed ghost.
We didn’t know what they were going to do, so we stood still.
Just watching them.
But who would have thought that as soon as these twenty cavalry warriors dismounted, they would each grasp their spears, kneel on one knee, and shout at me in a deep voice:
“We pay our respects to the General!”
“We pay our respects to the General!”
“We pay our respects to the General!”
“…”
The deep, somber voices and their actions shocked and bewildered all of us.
Bewildered, we exchanged glances.
I was even more at a loss.
For a moment, no one responded.
The ghost warrior leading them, clearly the commander of these soldiers.
His armor and helmet were slightly different, looking more advanced.
I didn’t have the knowledge to identify it and couldn’t name it.
He held his spear, looked up at me, and said with a hint of excitement:
“General, you have finally returned!
Your humble servant and the soldiers have not betrayed our oath.
We have guarded the princess and waited for you for two thousand years!
Now, you have finally returned…”
It was abrupt, and we were completely unprepared.
But, when I heard these words, for some reason.
Deep within my heart, there was a trace of sorrow.
Feelings of guilt, sadness, and desolation…
It was complex and hard to explain.
But instinctively, I took a step forward.
My uncle and the others stared at me with wide eyes.
They basically had some understanding of my situation.
After all, I had a life curse on me, and I carried the karma and grudges of several lifetimes…
They said nothing, just watched quietly.
I walked up to the ghost general, and helped him up:
“General, get up quickly. Everyone get up!
I’m sorry for making you wait for so long!”
Although I didn’t have memories of this period.
I had a dream before.
In the dream, I was on an ancient battlefield.
Qing Dai was crying, holding me, who was fully clad in ancient armor.
I think that was how I looked when I died ten lifetimes ago.
In other words, ten lifetimes ago, I must have been a general.
And these ghost warriors, who obeyed my instructions to protect Qing Dai, had been waiting for me.
It could be basically confirmed that they were likely my subordinates from ten lifetimes ago when they were alive…
