Chapter 770 The Ghost Harnessing Warlock

Hearing Earth Dragon’s words, Gao Ge feels somewhat surprised.

“Blessed spot? Did he join a blessed spot and betray the Dragon Court?” Gao Ge asks in surprise.

Earth Dragon shakes his head.

“I have no idea. Maybe only when we meet Shen Xuhua one day can we get the answer.”

Gao Ge knits his eyebrows.

“By the way, have you met Lord Dragon King?” Earth Dragon suddenly asks.

“Yeah.” Gao Ge nods his head.

“Well, how do you feel?”

Gao Ge feels quite confused to hear that. How does he feel? He has met Dragon King only. It is not anything else. What can he say? Good? It doesn’t sound appropriate...

“Just fine,” Gao Ge thinks about it and says.

“Actually, Lord Dragon King is quite a nice man. Since you’ve met him, you can surely feel that,” Earth Dragon heaves a sigh and says, “I’m just wondering why Lord Dragon King rarely takes action now. I suspect whether something is wrong with his health.”

Gao Ge’s eyelids twitch.

Seeing Gao Ge’s surprised facial expression, Earth Dragon smiles bitterly.

He ponders for a moment and says, “Actually, you don’t need to feel surprised. There are so many smart people in Huaxia. As Lord Dragon King hasn’t taken action for a long time, plenty of people will think this way.”

Gao Ge nods.

Earth Dragon’s words make sense indeed.

The others are not idiots.

As long as they slightly use their brains, they can think of that.

“Yet, it can indicate how strong Lord Dragon King is,” Earth Dragon says laughingly, “Think about this. They have started to guess whether Lord Dragon King’s body condition is too poor for him to get into any fight. However, as long as it is not confirmed, they dare not challenge the Dragon Court’s authority. Is this not enough to demonstrate the capability of Lord Dragon King?”

Gao Ge nods.

Gao Ge highly agrees with that.

Even though Dragon King is dying, Gao Ge still felt overwhelmed by Dragon King’s gaze when they met in the capital last time.

Putting aside the Star Tree in his body, even though he has reached the realm of Master, he still feels that he cannot resist Dragon King’s gaze.

Earth Dragon takes another sip of wine and exclaims, “This is so good!” Then, he just repeats, “That’s what a true man should be!”

Evidently, Earth Dragon does admire Dragon King very much.

When Earth Dragon drinks enough wine, he just leaves.

The female ghost walks out of a corner.

“That man is also very strong,” the female ghost whispers.

These days, she has acquainted herself with Gao Ge, or at least, she has not been as afraid of Gao Ge as before.

She probably realizes that Gao Ge is not a bad guy. As long as she doesn’t deliberately cause trouble, Gao Ge won’t hurt her then.

Gao Ge takes a look at her and nods.

Earth Dragon is among the best cultivators in Huaxia.

It is inevitable that he can make the female ghost feel stressed.

“These days, I’ve thought of something again. You are right. My body has been gone indeed,” the female ghost says bleakly.

Gao Ge is suddenly surprised. He turns to look at her and says, “What did you recall?”

“I’ve recalled my name.”

“What is your name?”

“Lu Yanran.”

Gao Ge nods.

“How did General Zhu die?” Lu Yanran sits on the chair next to Gao Ge.

Gao Ge really wants to roll his eyes.

Why would Lu Yanran ask him about the incident of the Song Dynasty?

It sounds as if Gao Ge had seen that before.

“What’s the name of General Zhu?” Gao Ge asks.

“I don’t know...” Lu Yanran shakes her head.

Gao Ge is taken aback, “You don’t know it or forgot it?”

“I don’t know. I only know that my mistress called him General Zhu but as to his name, I have no idea then,” Lu Yanran says.

“Your mistress?”

“Yeah. I was a maid in Lord Protector’s mansion before dying.”

Gao Ge takes a tumble and can’t help sighing.

He really doesn’t understand what Lu Yanran has in her mind.

For a man whose name she doesn’t even know, she has attached herself to his coffin for so many years.

Why is there such a silly girl in the world?

“Who was the emperor when you were alive?” Gao Ge asks.

“Emperor Qinzong.”

“Emperor Qinzong? Zhao Huan?” Gao Ge is dazed.

“How dare you call His Majesty’s name?” Lu Yanran asks in astonishment.

Gao Ge snorts.

The Qing Dynasty has been overthrown for so many years, let alone the Song Dynasty.

However, Lu Yanran is a woman of that era. For her, calling Zhao Huan by the name is a capital felony.

Even if Lu Yanran has died and become a ghost, such a taboo is still an imprint on her soul. It is like when one is still alive, he is unwilling to step on the dog poop. After he dies, he will still take a detour upon seeing the poop even if he is floating. It is totally a natural habit.

Gao Ge has some knowledge of history more or less. Besides, although Emperor Qinzong of Song was not capable, as the last emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was kind of famous. The true reason is probably because of the poem– “As the shame of Jingkang Incident hasn’t been wiped out, when can the officials’ resentment be cleared?”

“Do you think whether the tomb under the sea is Zhao Huan’s imperial tomb?” Gao Ge asks.

Lu Yanran shakes her head.

Gao Ge has asked the wrong person.

“That can’t be right. Zhao Huan was on the throne for more than a year only. After he died, he was buried in the Yongxian Tomb. This shouldn’t be Zhao Huan’s imperial tomb. However, if so, who else was buried here?” Gao Ge mulls it over and suddenly has conceived an idea.

He pats his forehead and feels that his mindset has been restricted.

Maybe it is also because he has been misled by Heaven Dragon and the others.

According to them, the tomb under the sea is from the Song Dynasty, so Gao Ge always thought the tomb owner must be the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

However, Zhao Huan of the North Song Dynasty was captured by the Jin troops.

Why is it the emperor of the Song Dynasty but not that of the Jin Empire who was buried here?

“Actually, Emperor Qinzong listened to the evil official’s slanderous talk. At that time, he had a warlock who was said to be able to harness the ghosts to defeat the Jin troops. Emperor Qinzong had no other way but to adopt the warlock’s advice. Unexpectedly, the warlock had achieved an agreement with the Jin Empire to consume the fortune of the North Song Dynasty and the lives of the soldiers in this way,” Lu Yanran says in a flood of tears.

“A warlock? He could harness ghosts?” Gao Ge breaks out in a cold sweat.

If what Lu Yanran said is true, was the ghost harnessing warlock from the Ghost Sect?

He suddenly stands up with excitement.

He realizes that the tomb under the sea must have something to do with the Ghost Sect and the relationship must be very close.

This may be a breach to enter the Ghost Sect?

No, it must be the breach!
