Turtle General was among many of Wukong's previous allies, alongside Snake General, that had helped him defeat [Yellowbrow](/yellowbrow). After Wukong's death, Yellowbrow returned to New West and began stirring trouble once more. Both Turtle General and Snake General learned of this and attacked Yellowbrow, but Yellowbrow unleashed both a [Ten-Tailed Goldfish](/hubris-nose) and the [Apramana Bat](/apramana-bat) to engage the generals on water and land respectively. The four were evenly matched, but the situation changed when Yellowbrow dropped a blanket of snow on the Bitter Lake. Because of their natural instincts, both Turtle General and Snake General became drowsy as their bodies entered a hibernating state, and Turtle General was powerless to stop Snake General's eventual death at the hands of Yellow Brow and his minions. Turtle General would be left in a vegetative state at the Bitter Lake, having little hope following the death of his friend.

Completing Xuanwu's name, the turtle and the snake, Cycles end and cycles start, the yaoguais they break. In frozen realms of ice and snow, they honor nature's call, United hearts in decay, better to die than living in pain. The New West, above the Bitter Lake. The Turtle and Snake Generals revealed their true forms. The Turtle General, as massive as Mount Tai, landed in the lake, causing huge waves. The Snake General, resembling the mythical Zhu Loong, coiled around a mountain ridge, shaking the earth. Yellowbrow showed no fear, wielding a Spikeshaft Cudgel, strong and flexible, engaging the two generals in fierce combat. The Turtle sprayed water, and the Snake breathed fire, almost gaining the upper hand. Suddenly, Yellowbrow threw an object into the Bitter Lake, which transformed into a ten-tailed golden fish. The fish grew rapidly upon contact with water, entangling the Turtle General. The Snake General intended to assist, but Yellowbrow untied a sack from his waist, releasing a strange beast. This creature had a gilded body and a Buddha's head, with sharp claws on its feet. On the shore, it engaged in a fierce and evenly matched battle with the Snake General. As the four clashed and shouted, Yellowbrow stood on the cliff, chanting. Suddenly, a freezing wind howled, and a heavy snowstorm descended, blanketing thousands of miles and freezing the lake's surface. Despite their immortality, the Turtle and Snake were bound by their natural instincts to hibernate in the cold. Gradually, they grew weary and exhausted, their eyelids heavy with fatigue. After countless rounds, the Turtle General, unable to endure any longer, sank into the icy depths of the water. As he closed his eyes, the last scene he saw was the Snake General, unable to escape the frost and icy blades, being cut into several chunks on the shore...

Both Turtle and Snake General were servants of Xuanwu, one of the four symbols of the Chinese Constellations. Together, they served as his mounts, a snake coiled around a black tortoise. After both the 28 constellation deities and 5 gatekeepers of buddhism, Wukong visited the Wudang Mountains to find help against [Yellowbrow](/yellowbrow). Xuanwu received Wukong but could not provide direct aid. As a result, he commanded both Turtle General, Snake General, and five dragon soldiers to join Wukong as he returned to fight Yellowbrow. Unfortunately, when Yellowbrow unleashed his seed sack, Turtle General and the others were captured, and were held captive until [Maitreya](/maitreya) Buddha helped Wukong defeat Yellowbrow. Still grateful for the help they provided him, Wukong personally escorted Xuanwu's forces back to the Wudang Mountains as thanks before returning to his journey.
