Chapter 647: Yaohuo's Uprising 17

c, "You said that the Empress sent someone to assassinate Dugu City""It wasn't him they came to kill, it was you."Feng Ling Xi's eyes darkened slightly. If it was really an assassination, then Dugu C...Seeing Luoli's nervous expression, Feng Lingxi couldn't help but smile.

"Why are you so nervous As a doctor who loves medicine, how could it be possible to not handle these herbs for a long time Whether it's alchemy or medicine, is the clan leader really this worried"

"I'm just worried you might use poison to harm people."

Luo Li regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. Seeing Feng Ling Xi's disdainful eyes, he felt a little annoyed.

These days of getting along, he truly finds himself increasingly unable to see through Feng Lingxi. You think she's a good person, but she isn't. You think she's like a bad person, but she isn't. He can't even put it into words, this woman, just what kind of person is she.

"Even if I were to refine poison, wouldn't we still have the chieftain With the chieftain's medical skills, what could I possibly do under your nose"

Luo Li frowned, although he said so, but he still didn't believe it.

"I've said everything I have to say. If the Chieftain doesn't believe me, there's nothing more I can do."

As the Sacred Lord of the Yao Clan, I hope you can win people over with your virtue, rather than using poison like this.

Feng Lingxi's smile deepened at the corner of her lips, she spoke as if telling a joke, yet her words carried an air of persuasion.

"The chieftain's teachings, I will remember them. I, Feng Lingxi, am just a woman, not as profound in martial arts as you all. Perhaps my methods are not always bright, but I also distinguish between people. Not everyone will I confront openly. After all, my abilities are limited, unlike the chieftain."

Luoli noticed the complex look in Fenglingxi's eyes.

"You're saying you really think your mother..."

"Chief."

Feng Lingxi's voice rose several octaves, her tone turning icy cold. Her eyes fixed on Luoli, and the chill emanating from them made Luoli swallow the words that were about to leave her lips.

"As you saw today, my mother survived despite the ordeal. She is now suffering from exhaustion and humiliation. The chieftain believes that as her children, we should do something about this."

"Didn't I tell you to come back and handle the Yao Clan's internal strife Since I gave my word, I won't interfere. However, I also remind you to be more cautious when dealing with the Yao Clan's affairs. It's best to avoid jeopardizing your own life; it wouldn't be worth it."

Feng Lingxi faced Luo Li Fu with a respectful bow, her eyes cold and sharp. "Thank you, Clan Chief, for your reminder. Feng Lingxi will keep it in mind."

As Luo Li rose to leave, she paused at the entrance of the hall, as if wanting to say something. But in the end, she said nothing and left.

Feng Ling stood with her hands behind her back, her beautiful eyes gradually clouded with a layer of frost. They forced her mother to jump off the cliff into the forbidden land. Now, snow and wind raged, and an icy surface covered everything. Her mother's life or death was unknown. She absolutely couldn't let this slide. Since they were all back, she couldn't possibly not avenge her mother.

"Saintess."

"Who!"

Feng Lingxi sensed someone approaching and barked, drawing her bow and crossbow from her sleeve and firing it toward the back. A black figure swiftly dodged, avoiding Feng Lingxi's attack, and knelt on one knee before her, "Holy Maiden, it is I."

"Aman"

Feng Lingxi retracted her bow and crossbow, smoothing out her sleeves.

"Holy maiden, what has happened"

When the fourteenth and fifteenth heard the sound, A Man quickly dodged. Feng Lingxi looked at the two people who came in and said coldly, “Nothing to do, keep watch, don't let anyone come in.”

"Come out."

Feng Lingxi watched Amǎn emerge from behind the screen, watching her appear in her sacred temple, Feng Lingxi was very surprised.

"When did you arrive Were you discovered"

Aman shook his head and glanced at the door. "Aman just arrived a while ago. Today, he went to the water tank with the king and found that people from the Yao clan had been there. He guessed it was the Saintess, so he planned to come back and have a look."

Hearing about Dugu City, Feng Lingxi's face softened slightly, "How is he"

"Good, these days have been searching the mountains for Saint Master's whereabouts, but there has been no news."

Feng Lingxi sighed, “I brought people to the pond today as well. The ice was too thick, and even the Chief had to use his internal energy to crack a small opening. We couldn't see what was under the tree at all, so we can only wait.”

Aman knew now, there were no signs of the Holy Lord on the surrounding mountains, nor any trace of habitation. Aman wanted to return and ask the Holy Maiden what her plans were

Feng Lingxi's face was pale and cold. What are your plans

Now that things have come to this, what could she possibly be planning

"When the ice noodles could go into the water for a closer look, the clan leader said that there was another mystery under this pool, perhaps Mother really could escape death."

Feng Lingxi looked at Aman, “Don’t worry, I will do everything I can to search for your mother.”

"Aman knew, but it was useless. If the Holy Lord really fell into the pool, he had to go in the water to know if he had truly escaped from the pool."

Feng Lingxi's expression grew colder. If Shui Xia was truly escaping, her mother should have fled long ago.

"The Saintess, Aman, heard when she was in Xicun County that the Queen had invented a powerful weapon called explosives, capable of blasting through ice..."

"Aman, you can't use explosives."

Although she didn't know how she found out about the existence of explosives, she was determined not to use them.

"You should know that there are tribes all around this cliff, and that spot is right at the border. If the explosives go off, the force of the blast will be too great, causing panic among the tribes. They'll think we're attacking them, and once war breaks out, it will be an all-out conflict. With the new year approaching soon, we need to consider the bigger picture."

Feng Lingxi's words made Aman clench her fists, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Shall we just wait like this"

"We still have a lot to do, like exposing their secrets and eliminating them, clearing Mother's name." At the very least, she wouldn't allow her mother to be humiliated. Since they so desperately wanted this position of Saint Lord, she would ensure they never got it, and make them pay for hurting her mother.

A-Man clenched his fists, his eyes struggling.

Feng Lingxi looked at A Man, her eyes firm. "Don't worry, mother won't abandon us so easily. Since they haven't found her, it means she must still be alive. We just need to clean up for her, only then will she dare to come out."

Aman was persuaded by Feng Lingxi's words and knelt before her once more.

"As long as I can avenge the Lord, Amman is willing to pay any price, the Holy Maiden commanded."

Feng Lingxi helped her up and looked into her resolute eyes. "Then you'll follow my arrangements from now on. You do whatever I tell you to do. Now, besides the clan leader, I believe no one in the Yao Clan knows that you've met me."

A-Man nodded. Feng Ling Xi whispered a few instructions to A-Man. After listening, A-Man nodded and waited for Feng Ling Xi to finish speaking before leaving the Holy Maiden's Hall.

"My Queen."

Xiaoli shouted outside the hall, looking at Shi and Wu who were blocking her way. She was furious and wanted to ask them why they were stopping her when Feng Lingxi walked out. Xiaoli immediately went up to her and complained, "Your Highness, they won't let me see you, saying that you don't allow anyone to disturb you."anged the subject, "Emperor Uncle, how is the current emperor treating you"“What good is this throne He stole it! If he hadn't proposed the alliance, how could the late emperor have died from losing y...
