Chapter 11 Is It Him!

In a few short seconds, the fatty’s expression shifted from panic to shock, and finally to surprise. "It's Wu!" The fatty couldn’t contain his excitement. "Brother, when did you wake up? You didn't even say anything. You scared me to death these past few days!"

Of course, the person who appeared in the pavilion was Wu. Black clothes, a black sheathed saber, and those sharp eyes, coupled with the aura emanating from his body, gave the fatty enough confidence. According to normal logic, as long as they held on until Wu emerged, then this mission would be nearing its end.

At the very least, his and Doctor Yao Shunyu's lives would be saved. It was just a pity about Li Bai. The fatty felt a pang of sadness in his heart when he thought about Li Bai treating his wounds and applying medicine for him.

"Come up. There's a clue here."

Wu's voice was unusually calm, but his commanding position gave them a great deal of pressure, as if something terrible would happen if they didn't do as he said.

Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng felt their blood run cold the moment they saw Wu, but when they heard what the fatty said, it was clear that these people knew the terrifying figure above.

"Brother Fugui, this one is…" Tang Qisheng asked cautiously, with a smile on his face.

The fatty was about to speak when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the doctor's profile. Not only did the doctor not have any expression of joy, but on the contrary, he looked very gloomy. The fatty blinked, belatedly looking at Wu in the pavilion. Slowly, a chill crept up his back, and that familiar face became more and more unfamiliar.

"Jiangcheng, what are you waiting for?" Wu frowned, his sharp eyebrows furrowing in confusion, then turned to the fatty. "Fugui, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as he said these words, the fatty was one hundred percent sure that this Wu was fake. According to Wu's personality, apart from calling him "good brother" when he tricked the doctor once, he had never addressed either him or the doctor like that again, because his painful past experiences made him very bad at expressing his emotions.

Moreover, in the fatty's memory, Wu rarely said so much at once. Most of the time, the doctor would ask the questions, and he would only be responsible for making the choices: yes or no, very clear.

Shao Tong's face showed an emotion close to despair for the first time. He couldn't help but take a step back. "Damn it, something must have happened to Wu."

Seeing that his disguise had been exposed, "Wu" stopped pretending. He put his hands behind his back and stared at the people below with a fierce look in his eyes. When he spoke again, his voice was instantly countless times older. "You, like those people, are pawns sent by the Zhennan Marquis. But what is the mere Zhennan Marquis? Just a dying worm who still dares to dream of immortality? Little does he know that he is just a pawn of that guy."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng immediately said, "Old Immortal, you must have misunderstood. We also have an irreconcilable hatred with the Zhennan Marquis. We came here entirely because we were set up by the Zhennan Marquis."

"Hehe, misunderstood?"

The owner of the aged voice waved his hand, and a water vortex appeared out of thin air on one side of the pavilion. The vortex didn't last long before it turned into a water mirror.

Through the water mirror, they could see a vast expanse of water, and on the boundless lake, a lone boat was drifting. On the lone boat, two figures were sitting and standing.

Li Bai was sitting in the middle of the boat with his legs hugged, while Wu, dressed in black, was standing at the bow, his eyes fixed on the distance.

"You are completely different from those who came in before. This guy is not easy to deal with. Fortunately, I trapped him on Spring God Lake."

"That guy asked you to deal with me, didn't he?" The fake Wu's voice turned cold. "I should have guessed it long ago. How could the Zhennan Marquis control this guy on the lake? It must be that guy, it must be him!"

"It wasn't enough to drive me out of Spring God Lake in the first place. All these years, he has been trying to kill me. It wasn't enough to seize my territory, he still wants to devour me!"

The old voice became more and more angry. As he roared, the entire island began to shake, which was very frightening.

The fatty also gradually recognized the situation and explained loudly, "Old Immortal, you've misunderstood! We weren't ordered by anyone, and we didn't want to come here either. It's all... oh, in short, the people on the lake are also our friends. They don't have any malice. Let them in, and we can sit down and talk slowly."

After such a long back-and-forth conversation, Jiangcheng gradually noticed some strange things. It seemed that the person in front of him didn't intend to kill anyone for the time being, and his words were nothing more than venting his anger.

Jiangcheng wasn't sure why, but this gave them a chance to catch their breath. He wanted to buy time for Wu. After thinking about it, he cupped his hands and asked, "Old Immortal, with your supernatural powers, why would you stay in this remote wilderness and help those ghost villagers do such evil deeds?"

Seeing that someone was responding, the fake Wu became interested and narrowed his eyes. "Although you young man deserve to die, I must have a good debate with you before you die. I, your Old Master, have a clear sense of gratitude and grudges, and I never do evil deeds. As for why I helped the villagers come back to life, you should first ask why those villagers died."

"Why?"

"Because of that damned Zhennan Marquis! This beast is ungrateful. Just because he coveted immortality, he not only killed my good descendants, Guo Shaotang, but also sent troops to slaughter the entire Wugong Village. A village of hundreds of people, with no survivors left, young or old, men or women. Tell me, aren't these villagers miserable? Aren't they wronged?"

Hearing these words, Jiangcheng's eyes paused. "Are you the ancestor of General Guo?" Jiangcheng really didn't expect that General Guo's ancestor would have such abilities.

But speaking of this, the fake Wu paused for a moment. "It's not wrong to say that, but I, your Old Master, was born of heaven and earth. I can't even remember how long I've lived. In short, this world used to be mine, and I watched Guo Shaotang grow up. I can't remember how many generations of his ancestors there were. I had a close relationship with him."

"May I ask for the Old Immortal's name?" Jiangcheng became more and more polite. He probably guessed that the person in front of him was also a top-level ghoul, and his relationship with the Guo family's ancestor was like his relationship with Wu.

"Hehe, I don't have a name. I don't even know what I should be called, but you can call me Water Lord, just like them." The old voice echoed throughout the ancestral hall, making people's hearts palpitate.

Everyone gasped. It seemed that they had come to the right place this time. They had heard rumors about Water Lord in Luoan City, and they were well-known. The people who didn't know the reason attributed the tragic cases to Water Lord's anger, and they were very afraid of this name.

At this point, Jiangcheng had his own ideas, but there was still one thing he needed to confirm. "Water Lord, do you know about the ghost building in Spring God Lake? That... Pleasure Tower."
