Hearing this, Lord Shui, who had been so arrogant, instantly changed his expression. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "If it weren't for that guy, how could I have been driven out of Chun Shen Lake and forced to settle down here?"

Realizing that Lord Shui's mental state was getting worse and his controllability was decreasing, Jiang Cheng didn't dare to provoke him further. But Lord Shui seemed to have lost his soul, ranting at the owner of the Paradise Building, his滔天的 hate almost solidifying. Through these words, Jiang Cheng gradually pieced together a terrifying truth.

It turned out that this world did not belong to the owner of the Paradise Building at all, who was also the current president of the Night Watchers. This world belonged to Lord Shui, but for some unknown reason, the new president had descended upon this world and used very forceful means to drive Lord Shui away from Chun Shen Lake.

Of course, according to Lord Shui, the other party's original plan was to kill him.

But although the president was powerful, Lord Shui was not to be trifled with. This resulted in Lord Shui being defeated, but the current president still couldn't kill him.

So, after a long period of recuperation, Lord Shui returned to Wu Gong Village to hide. But when he returned, he suddenly found that everything had changed. The entire village had been slaughtered by government soldiers, and headless corpses were everywhere. The scene was too horrible to look at. Before leaving, the government soldiers had also set fire to the village, burning it to the ground.

At the same time, Lord Shui received another piece of bad news. The family of General Guo, who had always been under his protection, had also been murdered. The murderer was actually his brother-in-law, who had always been inconspicuous and submissive. This man had actually used General Guo's head to become the Marquis Zhennan of the new dynasty.

Lord Shui had spent a long time recuperating, so he had missed a lot of news. In the news he received later, General Guo and his group of personal soldiers had become like evil ghosts, invincible on the battlefield, tearing through armor with their bare hands, and even taking the heads of enemy generals from within formations of ten thousand men.

This terrifying act in the eyes of ordinary people was not difficult for Lord Shui to understand. He knew that something must have found General Guo and hidden itself on his body.

Lord Shui's understanding of "doors" was more profound than Jiang Cheng and the others. What he meant was that General Guo had obtained forbidden power, and this power definitely came from the guy who had driven him away.

After Lord Shui's investigation, the truth of the matter gradually surfaced. It turned out that he had once made an agreement with the descendants of the Guo family that in times of life and death, they could seek him on Chun Shen Lake.

When General Guo faced the crisis of the city being besieged and a large army pressing down from outside, he would naturally go to the lake to find him. But at that time, he had already been driven out of Chun Shen Lake by that guy and was hiding to recuperate. From the result, General Guo had indeed found a way to repel the enemy in the lake.

It was just that what he found was actually the guy who had driven Lord Shui away.

Lord Shui's eyes were bloodshot when he said this. He never expected that that guy would impersonate him and give General Guo and the others forbidden power.

That guy had the ability to deprive and bestow. He didn't know where he had obtained so much forbidden power, and then he temporarily lent these powers to General Guo and the others.

Out of trust in "Lord Shui," General Guo finally accepted it, but unexpectedly, it was from this point on that the gates of hell were opened.

Jiang Cheng quickly found a loophole in his words, "But if that's the case, then there's no reason for the Marquis Zhennan to attack General Guo and his group, since they were all loyal to that person."

This time, Lord Shui sighed and slowly shook his head. "You don't understand. Although that child Guo Shaotang was dull, his aptitude was very high. He must have realized that that power was constantly influencing him, eroding him, and leading him into an abyss of eternal doom. So I think on the night he was murdered, he brought those personal soldiers who were also bewitched to ask me for an explanation, wanting me to take back the forbidden power on their bodies."

"And the Marquis Zhennan seized this opportunity, taking advantage of their weakness to kill them all. And he got his wish and obtained a forbidden power, but his aptitude was too poor, and he couldn't bear the backlash from that power, so he became the ghost he is now."

Seeming to have thought of something, Lord Shui revealed a ghastly smile. "You've seen him too, haven't you? He doesn't dare to take off the mask he wears even when he sleeps, because half of his face is rotten! His time is almost up!"

"But he did so much for that guy, why doesn't he go to that guy to extend his life?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Lord Shui waved his hand indifferently. "Who would care about the life of a dog like that? Of course, more importantly, he still has temporary value. That guy is using the Marquis Zhennan's power to constantly send various talented people to find me, hoping to break the barrier and find my true hiding place."

"You've seen this place too. It's not that easy to get in. The guy on the lake outside is not weak. Ask him, can he get in?" Lord Shui said here with some pride.

Although the current president knew he was here, he just couldn't find him. The most crucial point was Lord Shui's so-called barrier. This barrier was formless and intangible and could be considered his special skill. Within the barrier, it formed its own world. The huge figure Jiang Cheng saw in the dream was like that.

In other words, the entire village was a place separated from reality. You had to hold a special wooden plaque from the Marquis Zhennan's mansion to enter. And these people would eventually be killed by the villagers to resurrect their relatives.

This was another place Jiang Cheng couldn't understand. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like a collaboration between Lord Shui and the Marquis Zhennan. In his previous words, it was like raising Gu.

Lord Shui also had an explanation for this: "This is precisely the most insidious part of the Marquis Zhennan. He knows that resurrecting the villagers requires consuming my power, so he constantly drives these people into my domain. This way, he can use these people to find my true hiding place, which is the way to get to this island. On the other hand, even if he fails, he can use these people to exhaust my abilities. He's using a dull knife to bleed me."

Hearing this, Fatty couldn't help but interrupt. He shrank his neck slightly and asked tentatively, "Since you've seen it, why do you still fall for their tricks? Wouldn't it be fine if you didn't resurrect the villagers?"

Lord Shui suddenly widened his eyes, and his tone rose. "How could that be? These villagers are all descendants of the Guo family. Since I promised my brother, then I must take good care of them. Even if they're already dead, I want them to have a family reunion in my domain, and everyone can live happily together in Wu Gong Village. This is my promise!"
