A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 214 The Emperor of the Underworld

Qiqi thanked the Ghost General for the map. He arranged accommodations for them and went back to work. The demonic spirits in the ghost realm had been rioting for the past few days, breaking the seal and allowing hundreds of demonic spirits to escape. The Ten Kings of Hell gathered to reinforce the seal.

Those demonic spirits that escape must be captured and destroyed. They devour the human ghosts they capture to bolster their own power. The ghost generals and the ten kings of hell have been searching for them for days, not wanting a single demonic spirit to escape.

The demon souls of the demon clan also knew about it. Some of the demon souls of the demon clan had escaped, and they were also attacking the seal. The Ten Kings of Hell had no time to rest and strengthen the seal of the demon clan to prevent the demon souls of the demon clan from running out to do evil.

When Qiqi and Zhou Jingze entered Fengdu, they heard many ghosts talking about the escaped demon souls. They knew that the ghost generals and the King of Hell were busy searching for the demon souls, and that the Emperor of Fengdu might also be busy sealing the demons and monsters.

They wanted to take this opportunity to visit the palace of the Emperor of Fengdu. They disguised themselves and used teleportation to leave the ghost general's mansion.

Soon they arrived at the residence of the Emperor of Fengdu. After observing outside for a quarter of an hour, they found no one following them. Qiqi and Zhou Jingze chose a place without patrols and entered the residence of the Emperor of Fengdu. According to the map given by the ghost general, they soon arrived at the study of the Emperor of Fengdu. The light was still on inside. They flew to the roof and were about to peel off a tile to see if there was anyone in the study.

Then I heard someone talking. "Come in, don't stay on the roof. I knew it the moment you entered Fengdu. You two living souls are trying to get away with it. You are really bold. You even came to my mansion. Come in and talk."

Qiqi and Zhou Jingze glanced at each other, realizing they had been discovered. They happily floated down and entered the study.

They saw a middle-aged man wearing a crown, solemn and majestic. He was the ruler of the underworld, the one in charge of Hell. The middle-aged man also looked at them.

"Qiqi and Zhou Jingze pay their respects to the Emperor." Qiqi and Zhou Jingze saluted the Emperor.

"What are you two doing here in Fengdu? Do you know that a living soul cannot come to Fengdu? Are you just barging in casually? Do you know the ghost general?" Fengdu Emperor asked majestically.

"Your Majesty, we are not barging in casually. We are here to ask for the Soul-Nourishing Wood. I hope Your Majesty will give the commander some Soul-Nourishing Wood for the sake of the many souls who have fought for the peace of the Immortal Realm, the Mi World, and the human world. Your Majesty, we will give you whatever you want as long as we have it." Qiqi said sincerely.

"I haven't punished you for coming to the Mi Realm yet, and you still want the Soul-Nourishing Tree. Do you know that the Soul-Nourishing Tree is hard to come by after a thousand years?" asked the Emperor of Fengdu.

"Emperor, you can punish us however you want. But please give us some Soul Nourishing Wood to save the commander." Qiqi told the emperor how the commander was ambushed and how they saved their soldiers. The emperor was also moved.

He also knew what happened thousands of years ago. He knew that the Ghost General and Yama King had brought hundreds of thousands of souls to the Mi Realm. After understanding the truth, he turned a blind eye and let them go. He didn't pursue the matter. In other words, he was helping Qiqi because Qiqi had saved his family. After he learned about it, he had no way of repaying Qiqi's kindness. So he acquiesced to what the Ghost General and Yama King did.

This time, Qiqi and Zhou Jingze had already entered Fengdu, and he spotted them. He tacitly allowed them to enter the city. He wanted to see what they were doing in Fengdu. He also wanted to repay Qiqi for saving his family, so he invited them into his study. He didn't punish them for trespassing.

Because Fengdu Emperor knew who Qiqi was the reincarnation of. He also knew who Zhou Jingze was the reincarnation of. If they returned to the fairyland, they would help him in the future. So he did not make things difficult for Qiqi and the others.

"Your name is Qiqi, and your name is Zhou Jingze. You want the Soul Nourishing Wood. I can give you some, but you must bring something in exchange."

Qiqi was delighted to hear this. She could just exchange something for it. Her space contained many valuable Chinese medicinal herbs, spirit stones, and even a complete spirit vein. She could trade them all with him.

"Emperor, what do you want?" Qiqi asked.

"I want someone. Hand over someone named Xie Lei. I'll give you a piece of soul-nourishing wood."

"Emperor, you want Brother Xie Lei, but no, we have to save a soul and sacrifice a living person, which is absolutely not possible. We are trying to find a way to save the commander. We can't hand Brother Xie Lei over to you either." Qiqi said firmly.

"Why don't you ask me why I asked you to hand over Xie Lei? Is your relationship with Xie Lei so deep?" said the Emperor of Fengdu.

"Emperor, even though Xie Lei is our parents' adopted son and we treat him like our own brother, please change your conditions. This condition is not acceptable." Qiqi said.

Hahaha, the Emperor of Fengdu laughed. Xie Lei really found a good sister. I'm here to thank you for saving Xie Lei.

The Emperor of Fengdu learned that Qiqi had saved Xie Lei. The Jiang family treated Xie Lei very well, and the two elders of the Jiang family adopted him as their godson. Qiqi also arranged for Xie Lei to marry and have children. He himself had a grandson. He was delighted for several days after learning that he had a grandson. He then gave the ghost messengers a day off to let them rest.

He also secretly went up to look at Xie Lei and his grandson, but did not approach them.

"Qiqi, don't be nervous. I am Xie Lei's father. I want to meet him. Thirty years ago, the demons and monsters broke the seal. We fought with them. I was accidentally surrounded by several of their demons. I was injured and my soul was hurt. I fell to the human world and lost my memory." Emperor Fengdu narrated his experience.

It turns out that over thirty years ago, the Emperor and the Ten Kings of Hell were attempting to strengthen the seal on the demon and monster races. Upon their arrival, the demon race broke free, releasing numerous demonic spirits. The monster race also broke free at the same time. Together, they devoured ghosts in the Mi Realm to strengthen their own spirits.

The Emperor, the Ten Kings of Hell, and the ghost generals repaired the seal first. Then they went to capture the escaped demons and monsters. Repairing the seal consumed a great deal of spiritual energy. The demons were unwilling to be captured, so they surrounded the Emperor, determined to find a scapegoat before their death. Several of the Ten Kings of Hell were also injured by them.

The Emperor saw the King of Hell injured, and he also injured several demons. This further inflamed the demons, who banded together and injured the Emperor, damaging his soul. They cornered the Emperor on a cliff, and seeing how badly he was injured, the Ten Kings of Hell also desperately tried to rescue him. However, he was accidentally knocked off the cliff by a demon, and fell to the bottom.
