"My childhood memories... I do have some missing ones. Are they blocked?"
There was a look of confusion in Wen Xi's eyes.
The smile on Zhai Wujiang's lips grew wider. He bewitchedly said, "Yes, at that time, you were possessed by an evil spirit and were half-dead. It was your mother who gave you her fate to prolong your last breath. When the Lord arrived, she had been tortured to death. The remaining soul was in tatters and could not be captured. It dissipated between heaven and earth and has been missing to this day. I think she died for you, and in the end her soul was torn to pieces."
"You witnessed this scene with your own eyes, and it had a great impact on your young mind at the time. After being brought back, you had a high fever for three consecutive days and nights, trapped in the nightmare of your own making, unwilling to wake up. The master then erased that part of your memory. So... Wen Xi, you are the poor little thing who stole your fate and killed your mother. How can someone like you be worthy of becoming the Emperor of Fengdu?"
Zhai Wujiang's words echoed over the Styx and took a long time to fade away.
The other Ghost Emperors remained silent, as if they were doubting whether what he said was true or not.
"Miss, please don't be affected by what he said. Although we don't know exactly what happened back then, do you all remember what the master said?"
Lu Pan said solemnly, "When the Lord brought the young lady back, he clearly stated that she would be the next Emperor of Fengdu, and instructed everyone in the underworld to assist her. This has nothing to do with fate, nothing to do with anything else! In fact, the young lady is extremely capable. She can skillfully control the power of the underworld and make up for so much lost merit. Everything she does is because she is the Lord of the Underworld!"
The other Ghost Emperors looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
The Northern Ghost Emperor said, "Zhai Wujiang, don't try to sow discord here. No matter who gave her the fate, the eldest lady will be the next Emperor of Fengdu. This is an unchangeable fact, and we respect the Lord's decision!"
Zhai Wujiang's arrogant smile slowly disappeared. He looked at Wen Xi indifferently and said coldly, "You are really lucky. There are so many people paving the way for you in the future."
"Good luck? Are you envious?"
Wen Xi sneered, "As for whether we're worthy or not, that's not up to you to decide. Zhai Wujiang, do you really think you're so powerful and I'm so weak?"
The next moment, Wen Xi leaped up and stepped easily on the water of the Styx. A ray of empty golden light knocked off the restraints on his body, without waiting for Zhai Wujiang to be happy.
Wen Xi's powerful blow was already sweeping towards him, releasing the power of the underworld. Zhai Wujiang was so frightened that he raised his hands to resist, but was ruthlessly suppressed and fell into the water of the Styx.
Tens of thousands of ghost hands emerged from the water of the Styx and grabbed Zhai Wujiang's limbs.
Zhai Wujiang used his strength to throw them away, and just as he was about to escape, he was suppressed by another powerful fighter of Wen Xi.
The golden mark on Wen Xi's brow shone brightly. She opened one hand and made a gesture, and the majestic power of the underworld shook the entire underworld!
The ground was shaking and the water of the River Styx was fluctuating violently.
"This is... your underworld power?"
Zhai Wujiang's face changed drastically, and he was sweating profusely as he tried to find a loophole to escape. Suddenly, the water of the Styx rushed up, forming a huge barrier that enveloped him, like a cage.
"That's right. The old man has always told me that the power of the underworld belonging to the Emperor of Fengdu should not be abused lightly or excessively, otherwise it will cause damage to the world. I have always kept this in mind! As for the term of the Emperor of Fengdu, it is originally three thousand years. Whoever the old man chooses will be the next Emperor of Fengdu. There is no doubt about this. Zhai Wujiang, you have failed him in cultivating you. Let me personally punish you in the blue sky, defeated general!"
Wen Xi sneered, and the golden mark fell on the barrier with a flick of his hand. The weight of a mountain fell on Zhai Wujiang, and he groaned in pain.
He shouted in panic, "No, you can't do this to me. I am the Ghost Emperor of the West, and I am ranked as the guardian of the West. If you suppress me here, the West will be in chaos!"
"Even if things get messed up, there are still people who will take the blame. Making a mistake is a mistake. Not beating you to death is already a forgiveness to you. Zhai Wujiang, you will be under this Styx, accept the punishment of the blue sky, and repent and reflect sincerely."
Wen Xi used a big punch to knock him directly to the bottom of the Styx. With a scream, the Styx returned to calm.
As soon as Wen Xi landed on the shore, the Punishment Department came running over.
"What happened just now? Why is the underworld shaking so violently? Could it be that Zhai Wujiang is rebelling?"
"No, no, it was the young lady who just used the power of the underworld and the punishment of the blue sky."
Lu Pan shook his head and said with relief, "I said that the eldest lady is gifted and is a natural master of the underworld. Her underworld power is really strong. She needs to be careful, otherwise the underworld will collapse."
"Miss, don't take Zhai Wujiang's words to heart. We will take the situation in the west into consideration and work together to protect the five directions!"
The other Ghost Emperors bowed and said firmly.
Wen Xi said calmly, "Well, I understand. I will also look for a new Western Ghost Emperor when the time comes. You can all go away first."
"yes!"
After the Five Ghost Emperors left, Wen Xi closed his eyes to dispel the dizziness.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Lu Pan looked at her with worry in his eyes, just like when he was a child and brought little Wen Xi to the underworld for the first time, his eyes were filled with worry.
"I'm fine. I haven't used so much underworld power in a while. I'm just a little dizzy."
Wen Xi forced a smile, her eyes slightly hollow. She said quietly, "Lu Pan, besides the old man, you were the one who accompanied me the most when we were little. Is what Zhai Wujiang said just now true? You didn't have to hide it from me. I just want to know the truth."
Although he didn't show it on his face just now, in reality, how could Wen Xi not care at all?
Lu Pan said with pity, "It was the Lord who brought the young lady back. I have no idea what happened in the mortal realm, but the only thing I can be sure of is that the Lord's chosen successor must be you! Everything he taught you is what the Lord of the Underworld needs to learn. You must not believe what Zhai Wujiang says!"
Shang Shan Si put his hands on his hips and said, "That's right, Zhai Wujiang is full of lies. He wasn't at the scene at the time, so how could he know so much? He's just trying to sow discord. Miss, don't let him disturb your mind!"
Wen Xi pressed his brows and said helplessly, "How can I explain the loss of memory? If I don't figure it out, I'll be very upset. I also looked for my mother's soul before, but I searched the entire underworld and never saw her!"
"Miss, why don't you go look for Meng Po."
The white cat jumped down from the branch of the dead tree, turned into a human form, and looked at her with clear and bright eyes.
