After hearing what Ghost Marquis said, Lu Yin asked curiously, "What accident?"
Ghost Marquis sighed. "I've forgotten a lot of things. I only vaguely remember that I was very powerful at my peak. By the time I regained consciousness, countless years had passed. I remember a few things from the distant past, but I've forgotten most of them."

You Qi saw it. Black flames blazed,
