Chapter 217: Capturing Demonic Souls
Chapter 217: Capturing Demonic Souls
Xie Lei was deeply moved after hearing this. He felt heartbroken for the King of Fengdu, and even more distressed for his wife and children.
"Qiqi, did the King of Fengdu finally find his son and wife? Isn't he the ruler of the underworld? His wife is in the underworld. He should be able to find her." Xie Lei's heart was turbulent when he asked this question. It was as if he was being pulled by a string, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"The Emperor, after learning everything, found his wife in the underworld and brought her to his palace. They also found their son. He's living well, with a wife and children. They also secretly came to the human world to see their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. After all, humans and ghosts are on different paths, so they didn't dare get close. They could only watch from afar and wish them well." Xie Lei's eyes filled with tears as he listened, and they flowed unconsciously. It was like he was hearing his own story.
Yun Jizi didn't know Xie Lei was the Emperor's son. Seeing Xie Lei crying, he asked, "Xie Lei, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
"Master, I don't know either. After listening to what Qiqi said, I couldn't stop crying. Qiqi, you didn't call me here to tell me a story, right? Is there anything you need my help with?" Xie Lei asked.
"Yes, Qiqi, you have said so much. Is there anything we need to do?" Yun Jizi also asked.
"Brother Xie Lei, I really need your help. Come with me to the underworld!" Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, if I can help you in the underworld, I will go."
"Brother Xie Lei, you can help me and also see your mother." Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, what you said is true. I can see my mother. She has been dead for more than ten years. I miss her all the time. She didn't have a few days of good life before she died of illness. If she were alive, she could enjoy life with us now. I will go to the underworld with you. I miss my mother." Xie Lei burst into tears.
Qiqi went forward and hugged Xie Lei, knowing the pain in his heart. Although the Jiang family treated him well, they were not his biological parents after all. When Xie Lei stopped crying, Qiqi told him everything about the King of Fengdu.
Xie Lei's emotions gradually came under control. "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you," Xie Lei said.
Brother Xie Lei, "Your father also wants to see you. He is the King of Fengdu. He found your mother and took her to his mansion. He misses you too. Do you want to see him?" Qiqi finally said it.
"Qiqi, what did you say? He is the irresponsible man my uncle and others were talking about. He abandoned my mother and me and left my mother to die of illness due to lack of money for medical treatment. Even though there is a hidden story, I will not forgive him." Xie Lei said.
"Brother Xie Lei, I just told you that the Emperor's memory was sealed by them, and he lost his memory of the human world. He also tried to find out about the things in the human world and was also looking for you. He found your mother and brought her to the mansion. I am just telling you, it is up to you to decide whether to deny him." Qiqi said.
"Brother, if you want to see your mother, I can accompany you to see your aunt anytime."
"Qiqi, take me to the underworld now. I want to see my mother." Xie Lei said, suppressing his longing for his mother.
"Master, Brother Jingze, I will move you out of the space. Brother Xie Lei and I will leave our bodies in the space! Brother Xie Lei cannot reach the ninth floor of the Linglong Tower for the time being, so we will not go to the Linglong Tower."
"Qiqi, we are worried about you and Xie Lei going to the underworld, so we will guard you in the space. We are not going anywhere." Zhou Jingze said.
"Qiqi, Jingze is right, we will stay here to guard you." Yun Jizi also said.
"I'm afraid of what's happening outside. I might come to you guys if there's something wrong. Okay, just stay with us," Qiqi said.
She and Xie Lei lay on the bed in the medical room. Their souls quickly left their bodies and floated in the air. Xie Lei's soul didn't leave. Qiqi helped him, and Xie Lei's soul finally floated in the air.
Qiqi held Xie Lei's hand, afraid that he would get lost, and floated towards the underworld. Soon they entered the underworld.
Qiqi had a magical instrument given by Ling Xuzi to conceal her soul. When they entered the underworld, no one came to question them.
"Brother Xie Lei, if we want to see your mother, we have to go to the palace of the King of Fengdu. I'll ask someone to call my aunt out. Have you made up your mind? We won't meet the King of Fengdu." Qiqi asked. Xie Lei didn't reply to Qiqi.
Qiqi and her companions had just arrived outside Fengdu City when they ran into trouble. Several demon and devil ghosts blocked their way. They could smell the scent of Qiqi and Xie Lei's living souls.
They were the ghost generals and Hades, searching for the escaped demon and devil spirits. They boldly stopped Qiqi and the others, intending to devour Qiqi and Xie Lei's souls alive to bolster their own power.
Qiqi saw a few ghosts that looked like monsters, staring at them fiercely, like hungry wolves at lambs. They grinned. Xie Lei was startled by the sight of these ghosts. He stood in front of Qiqi.
Qiqi was also moved by Brother Xie Lei. She took out the Soul-Catching Bell. She had come up with the idea of using the Soul-Catching Bell when she herself was a spirit.
"Brother, cover your ears. I'm going to use the soul-catching bell." Qiqi said.
Qiqi started shaking it. Several ghosts, resembling demons, heard the ringing of the soul-catching bell, covered their heads and rolled over, mumbling in a language Qiqi couldn't understand.
Xie Lei covered Qiqi's ears, enduring the pain himself. Qiqi cast a spell. His soul state was still okay. He cast an aura shield over Brother Xie Lei. Xie Lei's pain soon subsided. He could no longer hear the ringing.
The commotion attracted the Black and White Impermanence. They spotted the spirits of several demons writhing on the ground and approached to capture them. They also saw Qiqi, whom they had met last time with the King of Hell. Qiqi had given them elixirs.
"Qiqi, why did you come to the underworld? Aren't you afraid of danger? Go back quickly, and I will pretend that I didn't see you." Black and White Impermanence said.
"Hello, officers! We are here to take these demonic spirits back with us. I was wondering what to do with them."
"Ah, Qiqi, it's you who made these guys like this. We haven't been able to catch them for several days. They are devouring souls everywhere to strengthen themselves. Thank you, Qiqi. We will take them back and ask the King of Hell to report your achievement." said the Black and White Impermanence.
"Two officers, no, just say that you have caught someone. Don't tell the King of Hell that we are here. Otherwise, we may cause you trouble." After saying this, Qiqi led Xie Lei into Fengdu City.
Qiqi and the others had just come in. The Emperor knew that Qiqi and Xie Lei had entered the city.
