Chapter 696: Yao's Chaos 66

ng with Huangfu Qingyun, he will protect her well. This king cannot guarantee that he can succeed in one fell swoop, but at least, Dugu Xiu and Empress Cen will not leave her."The threat they posed to..."Of course, is there even a need to ask The saintess' eyes already reveal everything. Although the chieftain said he wanted Yao Zhi to explain things to them, he was really just speaking for us. She definitely won't let Yao Zhi off easy. Don't forget, back when the saintess miscarried, if it weren't for Yao Zhi badmouthing her in front of Yao Chu, the saintess' child could have been saved."

Yao Zhi listened to their words, and his heart became even more certain of the answer he had in mind.

Feng Lingxi's return threw the elders into turmoil, causing them to distrust each other. Meanwhile, he dispatched his Shadow Guards to keep a close eye on their every move.

Do you think the Sixth Elder and Eighth Elder would really go to inform Yao Zhi

Luo Li and Feng Ling Xi walked side by side back to the Saintess Temple, looking at Feng Ling Xi's cold and piercing gaze, Luo Li frowned slightly. Since Feng Ling Xi returned to the Yao Clan, her expression had been like this, never showing a smile on her face, only the coldness hidden in her eyes.

"What does the chief think"

Feng Lingxi questioned back, the coldness in her beautiful eyes gradually solidifying. Compared to before, there was a hint of steadiness in her gaze. It seemed she was calming herself down, and this feeling made Luo Li uneasy instead. She would only become even more composed and collected this way.

Although it was a good thing, he could feel her change, and this kind of change also made him worry, fearing that Feng Lingxi wouldn't be rational enough.

"Judging from the situation just now, they seem quite loyal to Yao Zhi. I think we can't keep them."

"The chieftain truly lives up to his title, seeing right through everything."

Feng Ling Xi's lips curled into a slight upturn, her beautiful eyes hiding their killing intent without the slightest concealment.

"Since the Sixth Elder and Eighth Elder have no desire for their positions, there's no need to keep them. Among the countless Yao Clan members, surely there are others more suitable than them." Feng Lingxi finished her words and instructed Xiao Li beside her, "Tomorrow morning, they will certainly come looking for me. At that time, you tell them that I have gone to the forbidden land and will return on the day of the succession ceremony."

Luo Li's face changed abruptly upon hearing her words. She hurriedly asked, "Are you going to the forbidden zone"

"What's the problem"

"This restricted area is always the same no matter when you go. There's really no need to go tomorrow."

Luo Li sneered, "If they truly wanted to know what I was doing in the forbidden land, tell them I was reflecting. After all, I'm about to ascend to the throne and can't do something like my mother did, betraying our clan."

This sarcastic remark caused Luoli's brows to furrow. She didn't want to see Yaozhi and the others swaggering around in the Saintess Hall, there was no need to go to the forbidden zone.

"Your Majesty, I shall accompany you."

Xiao Li hurriedly said, “No one knows what’s in the Yao Clan forbidden zone. I'll accompany you and protect the safety of Your Highness.”

“Take her with you.”

Luoli compromised, looking at Feng Lingxi's slightly raised eyebrows, she said in a low voice, "If you insist on going."

"Then, I'll leave this to the Chieftain and elders to announce. See you all tomorrow."

Wind Lingxi brought Xiao Li back to the Holy Maiden's Hall. Xiao Li hurriedly asked, "Princess Consort, are you really going to stay in the forbidden zone for a whole day tomorrow There are tombs of all the former Saint Masters everywhere in this forbidden zone. Aren't you afraid"

"What's there to be afraid of I'm not going in."

She was only using the forbidden area to get things done, I believe the Saints wouldn't blame her.

"Your Highness, I know your decision won't change, but it's cold outside. Please take care of yourself."

Feng Lingxi nodded and, seeing that it was getting late, tidied up herself before letting Xiaoli rest. The next day, before dawn broke, she took Xiaoli up the mountain.

As Feng Lingxi said, Yao Zhi rushed back the next day and went to the Holy Maiden's Hall early to explain himself. However, he unexpectedly heard that Feng Lingxi had gone to the forbidden land and had no choice but to go to the patriarch to report.

The chieftain is easier to deceive than the Saintess. Although this chieftain looks young, how skillful he is, these elders know very well.

Facing Luo Li, Yao Zhi confessed everything about his meeting with the tribal chief these past few days. He claimed that he hadn't exposed his identity and only wanted to exchange weapons, seeds, and food with them, in exchange for information about the Yao tribe from various countries.

Luo Li remained silent throughout, her gaze fixed on Yao Zhi, making him feel uneasy.

"Chieftain, tomorrow is the day of your succession ceremony. At this time, we ourselves cannot turn against each other, nor should we listen to slander."

"Have the Three Elders arranged everything for the succession ceremony properly"

Yao Zhi accompanied a smile and said, "This is natural, the tribal leader's orders, the subordinate will do his best. It's just that the subordinate doesn't understand, why did the saintess suddenly go to the forbidden land This generation of Holy Masters succeeding to the throne, there has never been a habit of going to the forbidden land."

The saint said she was going to the forbidden zone to reflect, so as not to follow in the footsteps of the former holy master.

Yao Zhi's smile on his face was stiff, he perfunctorily said, "The Saintess is indeed thoughtful."

Luo Li looked at Yao Zhi's eyes shifting, and asked faintly, "Third Elder, you must arrange the succession ceremony tomorrow properly. You can't let any mistakes happen, understand"

Yao Zhi's expression changed slightly, but his eyes became even more determined.

The position of the Saint Master of the Yao clan rightfully belongs to him. As long as Feng Lingxi meets with an accident and dies, this position of Saint Master of the Yao clan will be his, and no one can take it away.

"Rest assured, Chieftain. I will personally dispatch more guards to strengthen the defenses and ensure the succession ceremony goes smoothly."

"Get out, I'm tired."

Luo Li spoke, and Yao Zhi hurriedly responded and stepped back. This chieftain didn't pursue his meeting with the tribal chief this time. Did he truly believe him, or was it a deliberate test, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to round up everyone

When Yao Zhi walked out, the people who had been left behind secretly followed him.

Linxi County

Ye Xi reported to Dugu Cheng early in the morning, saying that all the armies of surrounding tribes had gone towards Yaozu's direction. Several tribes' troops gathered together, totaling over 100,000 people. Moreover, several tribes marched together this time, which clearly indicated an attack on Yaozu.

The entrance to the Yaozu is known only to the Saint Master of the Yaozu, and to the elders who can enter and exit at will.

"Assemble the troops and intercept them before they reach the Yao tribe. Anyone who dares to set foot within half a mile of the Yao tribe will be exterminated without mercy."

Dugu City spoke, Ye Xi rejoiced and replied, "This subordinate will go now."

He knew the prince would never give up on his wife. He said he wouldn't explain, but all of this was to protect her.

Dugu Cheng lowered his head, staring at the letter in his hand, his eyes growing colder and colder.

Today is Xi'er's Yao Clan succession ceremony. Whether it can be held smoothly depends on today. After eliminating Yao Zhi, will she come back

獨孤城's eyes dimmed, he hid the letter in his bosom, and walked out.

"Is the Fourth King going out"

Huangfu Qingyun watched Duguxing come out and went forward to greet him. Today, he was going back, so he wanted to say goodbye to him.

Du Gu Cheng saw Huang Fu Qing Yun and thought about yesterday Xi Er when she left, wondering if she had told him anything. He said, “Xi Er's ascension ceremony is today, just last night Xi came to report, saying that the armies of tribes around Yao Clan were marching towards Yao Clan. This king will go to stop them.”ple in the Jianghu abide by its rules. Miss Shui, you better think carefully about what you should and shouldn't do."Her heart pounded, unable to calm. The sword on her neck was closing in, she could...
