ess around on their own. I'll take some time to rest and recuperate properly, and we can talk about it once Mother's health improves."Upon mentioning Empress Dowager, Dugu Cheng hurriedly said, “Xier,..."Elder, what should we do It seems the chieftain is very concerned about this Saintess"

Yao Yi pressed his voice low, looking at Yao Zhi who was following behind him, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Don't worry, follow the chief. He hasn't spoken to deal with us, so we'll be fine. Besides, Yaozhi wants this holy maiden dead even more than we do." Yaochu's words were met with agreement from the elders behind him, and the group hurried after him.

The stone houses in the forbidden zone were not arranged in an orderly manner, but were intertwined and complex. At first glance, these stone houses seemed very chaotic. There were dozens of stone houses, which meant that dozens of previous sages and masters were buried here.

"Chieftain, isn't the Yao Clan only a thousand years old How come there are so many Saint Lord tombs"

On average, this tenure is only over thirty years. Isn't that too short-lived

"If you read through the legends of all the saints throughout history, then you'll understand. I've never been inside myself, but if you are curious, go and have a look. It can only benefit you, nothing to lose."

"How could there be only benefits and no drawbacks This tomb must definitely have dangers, and the more you know, the faster you die. I'm not interested."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Yao Zhi who was following behind her, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Elder Three, do you know what is in this tomb"

Yao Zhi was named and said in a low voice, "Holy Maiden, don't joke with your subordinates. This is a forbidden zone, and how dare my subordinates enter a forbidden zone."

"Have you ever heard the previous High Priests talk about what's inside The Yao Clan has definitely passed down a lot of secrets over a thousand years. I haven't been inside this forbidden zone, but other High Priests must have been. They definitely know what's inside, right"

Feng Lingxi's answer made Yao Zhi's face even darker, he remained silent.

"Grand Elder, if you don't tell me, I'll assume you know."

"Saintess, my subordinate said he doesn't know,"

Yao Zhi's tone was a bit cold. If it weren't for the Chieftain being here, he wouldn't even give her a good look.

Feng Lingxi curled her lips, looking at Yao Zhi's attitude, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Chieftain, you said I, the Saintess, have some role in the Yao tribe. But I feel like I'm useless and no one takes me seriously. They don't even bother to answer when I speak. If I had known this beforehand, I wouldn't have come back."

Yao Zhi's face instantly fell. Hearing Feng Ling Xi's words, he clenched his fists in anger, but because Luo Li was present, he held back and didn't let himself get angry.

"The Third Elder is right, he's not the Holy Lord, how could he come here."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at the cliff in front of her. Her steps stopped, her eyes narrowed slightly. Standing here, all she could see were mountains, a vast expanse of white covered in snow. In the distance ahead was the cliff, with no railings whatsoever, not even a single large tree.

She could imagine how desperate her mother must have been when they drove her here, with no way to turn back. There was nothing here but the ancestors' tombs and this cliff. Feng Lingxi walked towards the cliff, Luo Li hurriedly shouted, "Be careful not to slip."

Feng Lingxi showed no signs of stopping, walking until she was less than a meter away from the cliff edge. She lowered her head to peer down, but the abyss below was shrouded in white mist, making it impossible to see what lay beneath.

"Chieftain, I want to know, can people be killed in the forbidden zone"

Feng Lingxi was facing away from them, and Luo Li looked at where she was standing, feeling a pang of anxiety in her heart. This spot, if one wasn't careful, could easily lead to a fall.

"Come here first, it's too dangerous there."

Yaoshü and others rushed over. Seeing the Holy Maiden standing on the edge of the cliff, they looked at each other in astonishment and hurriedly asked, "Clan Leader, what is the Holy Maiden doing This place is too dangerous, hurry back here!"

"Holy maiden, if there's something you don't understand, don't do this. One careless moment, and you could fall and get into trouble."

Yaoyi also chimed in, persuading Feng Lingxi. Yaoshi watched as everyone was urging Feng Lingxi, and instinctively glanced at her. His hand under his sleeve made a slight movement, preparing to fire a hidden weapon. Suddenly, Feng Lingxi turned around and looked at Yaoshi.

"Elder Three, why don't you advise me Don't you want me to fall"

Feng Lingxi's words caused Yao Zhi to stop his movements, his expression turning serious. "Saintess, you are wrongly accusing me. I simply haven't had the opportunity to explain."

"Don't worry, elders. I have no thoughts of suicide. I just wanted to see the scenery from the edge of this cliff. It is indeed beautiful."

Feng Lingxi walked towards Luoli, passing by the Third Elder. As she did so, Feng Lingxi gave Yao Zhi a slight smile and said, "Elder Three, could you please answer my question from before"

What's the problem

Yao Zhi felt a little guilty. Could she have discovered his actions That was impossible, he hid it under his sleeve, how could she possibly find out

She asked, "Can you kill someone here"

"Leaving was out of the question, Yao Zhi hurriedly bowed and said, "Reverend Saintess, this place is where the ancestors of the Yao Clan rest in peace. How can we possibly take a life here"

"Then, where were my mother's ten bodyguards killed How can my mother be accounted for if she fell here"

Feng Lingxi stared into Yao Zhi's eyes, not allowing him any room to lie. Yao Zhi met her gaze, his eyes narrowed, his voice growing colder, "What do you mean by 'Saintess' Who saw the Saint Master fall No one knows if she is truly dead. Besides, once someone falls down here, they are no longer within the forbidden zone where killing is prohibited."

"So, the three elders admit that all of my mother's Shadow Guards have fallen here"

Feng Lingxi pressed step by step, making Yao Zhi very irritable.

"The Saintess, the Holy Lord's Shadow Guards were indeed killed here. At that time, they protected the Holy Lord and fought with our people. According to the Yao clan's rules, rebels and those who resist should be killed."

Yao Shu replied coldly, since the Saintess wanted to ask, these things would be known to her sooner or later, it might as well admit them.

Yao Zhi looked at Yao Chu in this way, his eyes colder, fearing that Yao Chu would give him away.

“Does the Archon mean my mother is a rebel”

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly, "You weren't certain when you spoke before. Now, facing the ancestors of all holy masters, you claim to be rebels Before you speak, reflect on your words and don't lie in front of our forefathers."

Yao Shu subconsciously glanced at the stone houses around him, startled by Feng Lingxi's words.

But quickly calmed down.

"Holy Maiden, you saw the situation on the cliff. It is highly unlikely that the Holy Master will survive a jump from here. Holy Maiden, should we continue searching for the Holy Master"

Of course, I will. I'll tidy up tomorrow and then go down to the bottom of the cliff to have a look.

Feng Lingxi looked at Luoli, "Chief, I hope you will allow me to go down to the cliff with the elders. No matter if she lives or dies, I have to find her."

"No matter the outcome, you must promise me, you will inherit the position of the Holy Master."

Feng Lingxi nodded, Luo Li looked at the elders, "You all go back and tidy up, tomorrow to the bottom of the cliff, authority search any place that might be hiding, the living must be seen, the dead must be seen."were hidden behind Xi'er and the Yao Clan There were so many things he didn't know.Luo Li held the wine glass to her lips and took a sip. She stood up, "Excuse me, I have to leave."Dugu City watched h...
