Chapter 1276: War Drums Beat

ouldn't voice them in public.Bai Mo saw the worry in Duguo City's eyes and changed the subject, "As long as the Fourth Prince can protect these villagers, Bai Mo won't ask any more questions."Dugu Che..."No, this thing has indeed existed for a thousand years."

Feng Lingxi put the parchment back in the box. It seems that the parchments hidden by her mother and this one are a set. Her mother ran around to evade the pursuit of the Yao Clan of the Ghost Saint Kingdom, all for this parchment

"You keep this for me."

Feng Lingxi gave the box to Dugu Cheng. This heart water had put so much thought into wanting this thing, it seemed that the treasure stolen by her mother was very likely to be another part of this scroll. Just is, how many pieces are there in this scroll

Dugu Cheng put away the parchment and, looking at Feng Lingxi's worried brow, soothed, "One day, you will understand."

Windling nodded, taking a deep breath. Yes, one day she would understand. Since she had such a mother, she accepted it. Perhaps in this lifetime she could still accomplish something earth-shattering, not wasting the opportunity of her rebirth given by heaven.

"Village chief, you've worked hard."

Feng Lingxi bowed to the village head, who was so startled that he hurriedly stopped her. However, he dared not touch Feng Lingxi, as there was a clear distinction between their social statuses. He was able to see the Holy Lord, which was already an unparalleled honor.

"My Lord, I dare not take such praise. To complete the mission left by our ancestors is all that matters to me in this life."

"Old man, you call her the Holy Mother Do you know her"

The village head's wife had listened for a long time, curiously asking out loud, the village head rebuked her angrily.

"A woman's place is in the home, keep your mouth shut."

The village head's wife was so scared that she hurriedly carried the child into the house, not daring to make a sound.

Feng Lingxi looked at the village chief, "What are your plans next, village chief It's not safe here anymore. Should we move out"

"No need for that, this is just returning what rightfully belongs to its owner. I've completed my mission, even if they come looking, I won't have anything left. There's nothing to fear, Holy Master, rest assured, I can handle it."

Feng Lingxi looked at this impoverished village, surrounded by mountains. They had stayed here for a thousand years, just to guard this scroll of sheepskin. I really don't know what kind of secrets the Yao clan has that would require such dedication.

獨孤城從腰間將自己身上的銀子拿出來遞給村長，“這是我身上帶著的一些碎銀，如果你們想明白了就搬出去住，到外麵尋找一個住所。”

"No need."

The village head immediately refused, "We've lived here for so long, we wouldn't know how to live anywhere else. Here is good enough."

"Let the Water Tribe know that this thing is in my hands and they won't cause them any trouble."

Feng Lingxi sought the opinion of Dugu City, but the village head hastily stopped her.

"My Lord, absolutely not! She mustn't know this is in Your possession. It would be detrimental to You, My Lord. We can't have anything happen to You. We're all getting on in years, so please, don't worry about us."

"Such deep affection and loyalty! Truly heartfelt devotion!"

A figure descended from the sky, a crimson robe fluttering gracefully. Her bewitching makeup added an extra touch of wickedness to her beauty. Such Xin Shui, after being possessed by demonic energy, resembled a demon who had gone mad with power, striking fear into the hearts of all who beheld her.

Dozens of women, who followed shortly after, quickly surrounded the village head's courtyard. They brandished their swords, pointing them menacingly at the men, radiating killing intent.

The village head saw the water spirit and was terrified.

Feng Ling Xi, it's good to see you again.

With a flick of her wrist and a smile playing on her lips, she looked at Dugu City beside Feng Lingxi. Her eyes were filled with spring, making such a move in front of Feng Lingxi. She thought it would make Feng Lingxi angry, but Feng Lingxi just glanced at her coldly and didn't show any anger. Instead, she seemed to be watching a clown perform.

Dugu City was even more so, as if the gaze in his eyes wasn't for her at all. He ignored her playful coquettishness.

He now understands why Luo Li is indifferent to this woman. If he were in Luo Li's place, he would probably find it painful just to glance at her.

"As expected of the man chosen by the Holy Lord, his resolve is truly admirable."

"Looking at your posture, are you here to fight today"

Windling's beautiful eyes swept over the thirty or so people she brought. Each one of them had decent martial arts skills. Her own martial arts weren't particularly strong, except for her hidden arrows which could inflict harm. To even think of going up against Xinshui in a duel was impossible. And besides, there were so many villagers here, if a real fight broke out, they would surely suffer heavy losses.

"My Lord, your eyesight is sharp. However, with just a few of you, you're no match for us. Why don't you surrender what I want and I'll let this village off easy. What do you think"

"Lord, no! I would rather die than let her get her wish."

The village chief stood before Feng Lingxi, his heart rising with a surge of power. With a wave of his hand, the village chief was sent flying backwards. He crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face ashen white.

"Village head."

Feng Lingxi quickly stepped forward, helped the village chief to his feet, and hurriedly took out a pill for him to swallow.

"Don't be impulsive."

The village head grabbed Feng Lingxi's hand, his eyes pleading. "Holy Lord, don't mind me, please don't give the things to her."

"Rest assured, I won't give it to her. Don't speak." Feng Lingxi helped the village chief up and sat him down beside her. The village chief's injuries were serious. This palm strike didn't take his life; it was a show of mercy from the attacker.

"Shut your mouth, you old geezer."

Xin Shui coldly sneered, unlike his previous demeanor, his eyes were full of warning.

"Xinshui, don't think it through. What do you think Luoli will do to you after you kill us"

"You're threatening me with him"

Xinshui looked at Dugucheng, sneering and asking him, "Do you think I'm afraid of him" Raising her own right hand, Dugucheng looked at the fake finger on the ring finger of her right hand, his eyes narrowed.

"It's all because of her. If it weren't for her, would Luoli treat me like this Would he personally chop off my fingers" Hatred contorted Xinshui's expression, her eyes fixed on Feng Lingxi's breathtaking beauty. She was consumed by jealousy and resentment.

"When you chopped off someone's finger, didn't you ever think there would be a day like this"

Feng Lingxi stood up, looking at Xin Shui's eyes filled with killing intent, her face showing no fear.

Even if I am incompetent, I am still the Holy Lord of the Yao Clan. You are the future matriarch of the Ghost Saint Kingdom's Yao Clan. Could it be that your status as the granddaughter of an elder is more noble than mine" Feng Lingxi looked at Xinshui with eyes full of hatred, her voice even colder.

"Falling off is just chopping off your finger. If you weren't the grand elder's granddaughter, you would have already died."

"Hmm..."

Xinshui sneered, "You keep mentioning identity. Since you know who you are, why are you so close to Luoli Don't you know how to save face and stay away Relying on the fact that Prince Chen likes you, you flirt with Luoli ambiguously. Don't think I don't know, after you became pregnant, it was Luoli who has been by your side all along. Who is your daughter Even Prince Chen probably doesn't know, right"

"Xinshui, don't go too far. The Princess and the Chieftain are innocent. What is your purpose for slandering them like this"

Xiao Li rebuked angrily, staring at the prince, afraid that he would believe Xinshui's words.

"What are you, your words are believable You probably got a lot of benefits too. It seems that Luo Li and her are really deeply involved, thought-provoking."d by the chill radiating from her."To be frank, Your Majesty, I agree to cooperate with you and help cure the poison affecting my beloved consort.""Answer me a few questions first."Having been impriso...
