Chapter 638: Yao's Rebellion 8

your plans next Will you be returning to the capital"A force of 500,000 attacking Huachang might succeed, but it would earn her the reputation of treason. What's more, she is already seen as a crimi..."Gentlemen, I really can't think of a good way. I wonder if any of you have any ideas"

Feng Lingxi's words, as soon as they left her mouth, nearly made them furious.

"Saintess, you said we should search the mountains. But whether or not we can find anything is out of our hands."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking very approvingly at Elder Yao Yi, the second elder who was speaking. "Isn't it you all who urged me to find a solution This is the simplest and most brutal way, and since it can't be used now, we can only think of another way. We can't just abandon my mother!"

"If the Lord had listened to counsel, he would not have come to such a pass."

Someone in the crowd said something, Feng Lingxi's eyes suddenly turned cold, her beautiful eyes swept across the crowd, "Who said that Come out here."

Luoli frowned, watching Feng Lingxi's anger flare. Her eyes swept across the crowd, "The one who spoke, step forward."

A tribal member walked out of the crowd. He was about thirty years old, with a rough appearance, but his bearing suggested he possessed considerable skill. He had an air of righteousness and looked at Feng Lingxi with disdain in his eyes. Without even looking, it was obvious that this person was very dissatisfied with Feng Lingxi, the Saintess.

"Come now, tell me, why wouldn't my mother listen to advice You say she wants to open the Yao Clan's treasure vault, what did she do The most important condition for opening the Yao Clan's treasure vault is the Purple Star, isn't that right"

"Not bad."

The strongman looked at Feng Lingxi, "Since the Saintess knows how to open the Purple Star, she should also know what it means for the Holy Master to do this. The Yao clan has been isolated from the world for millennia, all in order to protect these treasures. I have heard that, in order to please the Empress Dowager of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Saintess even made a deal with her, willing to offer up our Yao clan's treasures with both hands, Saintess, is what I said wrong"

Feng Lingxi looked at this person with admiration and nodded in satisfaction.

"You're right, I did have such a transaction with Empress Cen. However, why did the news of the Yao Clan treasure leak out, and why was my mother's identity exposed Shouldn't you tell me, as the Saintess, about this"

Feng Ling leaned against the pillar, her legs numb from standing. These people were strange; they would rather stand than go to the council hall. They stood here in the wind and snow, unafraid of the cold.

"The Holy Maiden's words differ, we don't know why the identity of the Lord was revealed. The Lord left the Yao clan, and we don't know her destination. On this, we can swear to the heavens."

Feng Lingxi suddenly laughed.

"Grand Elder, you say you don't know where my mother went, then how do you know she gave birth to me"

Yao Shu looked at Feng Lingxi in bewilderment, "What does the Saintess mean by this"

"The Yao clan has a very strange custom. After the Holy Lord gets married, they will be targeted and assassinated before they have an heir. Wave after wave of assassins... I think my mother and I both experienced it. You're telling me that people who could assassinate her don't know where she is That's a terrible lie."

Luo Li coughed lightly twice, looking at Feng Ling Xi and explaining, "This assassination has nothing to do with the Yao Clan, it was arranged by my side."

Feng Lingxi glared at Luoli, "Fine, let's not talk about you not knowing. Then explain to me, what is this thing in my hand"

Feng Lingxi took off the Purple Star necklace from her neck. It fell into the eyes of everyone present, and they were all stunned by the Purple Star in her hand. The Purple Star in her hand made the incident where the Saint Lord stole the treasure impossible to explain.

Here is the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Luoli watched Feng Lingxi's actions, her brow furrowed. In the end, she still took out Zixing.

Never before has a Yao Clan member been so indifferent to the Saintess of Zixing.

"Zi Xing." Everyone's eyes were filled with longing for Zi Xing. This thing didn't matter to Feng Ling Xi, but what did Zi Xing mean to them Only they knew the answer in their hearts.

Feng Lingxi saw greed and desire in their eyes.

These people, they all want the Purple Star, they all want this Saintess's identity.

But, she didn't want it at all.

"So everyone knows this is Zixing, then I want to ask, my mother doesn't even have Zixing, how could she possibly open the treasure"

Feng Ling's Zi Xing flashed past their eyes, disappearing in a blink before being put away and worn around her neck, ignoring the greedy gazes.

"How could a saintess possess the Violet Star Could the rumors be true Did the Holy Master truly bestow the Violet Star upon you" Yao Chu spoke, his eyes narrowed, the greed and possessiveness in them utterly unrestrained. To them, this Violet Star was truly too significant.

"Rumor"

Feng Lingxi curled her lips into a sneer, "So, even the Great Elder has heard that my mother gave me the Purple Star Does the Great Elder know about the succession of the Purple Star"

A shift occurred across the crowd's faces. They all knew, of course, that this purple star succession meant that the previous Saint Lord had bestowed the Purple Star upon their successor, and the blood succession ritual had been completed. This meant that the Purple Star now recognized Feng Lingxi as its master, and Feng Lingxi had inherited the position of Saint Lord.

Luo Li didn't expect that Zi Xing had already acknowledged its master. She thought Yao Wan Ying would entrust Zi Xing to Feng Ling Xi, but she didn't expect the succession to happen so early.

"Elders, why are you all silent"

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes swept over them, truly slapping them in the face. Last night they said she was being stubborn and wanted to open the treasure and jump off the cliff because she wouldn't listen to advice, but now that Zi Xing is in her hands, their lies can't hold water anymore. She wanted to see how they could continue to spin their tale.

"Saintess, since your mother already passed the Purple Star Throne to you, why didn't you say anything when you returned"

"You didn't even ask me, how would I know you didn't know"

Feng Lingxi looked at Yao Zhi's gritted teeth and couldn't help but sneer, "My mother has been back for over a month. Didn't any of you elders bother to ask her about it"

Everyone was defeated, their faces turning redder with shame.

"Clan Leader, this succession of leadership is a major event. It should be discussed by the entire clan. The former Saint Master remaining silent and passing on the position directly goes against the Yao Clan's rules and he deserves to be punished." Yao Chu spoke, his tone very serious. The other elders also nodded in agreement.

"That's right, that's right. Such a big thing, how could I make the decision myself."

"Everyone, let's address these issues one by one. First, tell me, how did my mother attempt to open the treasure without the Purple Star, leading her to be forced to jump off the cliff in the forbidden zone Also, as far as I recall, the Sacred Lord of the Yao clan has ten Shadow Guards. I wonder where my mother's ten Shadow Guards are now"

"What do you mean by 'holy maiden' Do you think we are defaming the Lord Why did she open the Yao Clan's treasure We don't know why! Her shadow guards were naturally killed when they were protecting her escape."

Yao Zhi wore a grave expression, looking righteous and indignant, as if Yao Wan Ying had truly betrayed the Yao clan. remained unmoved. A hint of helplessness appeared on her lips as she walked out of the private room."My lord, shall we follow"Luo Li had just released a fragrant scent. Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi walked ou...
