Chapter 1656: Together for Life (Part 64)

truly a border fortress, extremely prosperous. It hasn't even offered tribute to the imperial court; it's clearly harboring ill intentions."Huashuang, what do you think of Linxi County"Looking at Erz...Of course, not everyone enjoys staying in this holy land.

Luoli's words eased Feng Lingxi's worries considerably. She hoped that Luoli would, as she said, truly be willing to come out, and not just be consumed by greed within.

"Thank you."

Feng Lingxi said thanks, Luo Li smiled and said, "Take a good rest for a while. When you've made arrangements, we'll together end the Yao Clan's millennia-old secret."

"Good."

What secrets of a thousand years, are nothing but the greed of the elder. If not for the elder's greed, why would they open the holy land to seek things that do not belong to them Greedy people never have a good ending.

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi. This time meeting, he could feel that Xi'er had a lot on her mind, wanting to say but unable to. However, the fact that Xi'er let him pick her up and go home was already enough to make him content.

He knew this would be dangerous. Sun Cheng had brought gunpowder, but she wanted to bring it to the holy land. He understood Xi’er's movements better than anyone, but he wouldn't interfere with her plans.

What she had experienced in the Yao tribe, only Xi'er herself knew. She also knew how to handle things inside the holy land. He hoped Xi'er would tell him, but he also knew that many eyes were watching Xi'er, making her hesitant.

Feng Lingxi soon started chatting individually with everyone, especially with Lady Lu. They talked for a long time. The Temple was basically theirs. Feng Lingxi told Lady Lu her plan. She needed Lady Lu's cooperation. Bai Liuli needed to acknowledge her as master so that she could completely merge with Zi Xing. Only then would her blood be able to open the gates of the Holy Land, allowing the Grand Elder and others to enter.

Lu Hao had been watching Feng Lingxi from beginning to end. He wanted to ask her many times, but he knew that Feng Lingxi didn't have time to tell him about Yao Wan'ying. Maybe, after this was over, she would tell him herself.

The Grand Elder, following Feng Ling Xi's arrangement, was preparing supplies for the holy site. He planned to stay in the holy site for two extra days and prepared several days' worth of water and dry rations for himself. However, he didn't tell anyone about this. Besides that, the Grand Elder specially allowed the elder members of the Yao tribe to bring their family members to the holy site, together uncovering the secrets of the Yao Tribe's sacred place.

"Lord, you have everything you need, and more than enough."

Sun Cheng replied, these days, he and his brothers have been working hard, just hoping to help the Holy Lord. They know that the Holy Lord might need them for the last time, so even if they risk their lives, they will help the Holy Lord complete this mission.

Okay, then let's depart tomorrow.

Feng Lingxi's urgency made Dugu Cheng's heart panic, "Xier, do you want to prepare some more Make sure everything is in order before you set off. You haven't even bonded with Bai Liuli yet."

"Bai Liuli only needs to recognize her master in front of the holy land, it's not difficult. It's you, stay here obediently and wait for me, don't go anywhere."

Feng Lingxi warned them, looking at Feng Siqi and Feng Siyu. They both looked at her expectantly, wanting to go with her.

"Neither of you are to go anywhere. Remember, your mother will be back soon. Stay with your father."

And what about your elder sister Can she go with you too

Feng Lingxi looked at Wan'er. Over the past two days, Wan'er had been sitting by the window daydreaming alone. Feng Lingxi thought about it for a long time, but she still decided to take Wan'er with her. She was afraid that this girl would have an accident.

"Let her go with me."

When Wan'er heard her mother's words, she raised her head and looked at her in surprise.

"Mother knows you're not at ease, so why don't we go together."

Wan'er glanced in the direction of Dugu City, "Will that hold you back"

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

"No."

Feng Lingxi soothed, "Wan'er, just follow Mother."

"Hmm."

Wan'er seemed to have come alive, and Feng Lingxi knew that she had finally let go of her worry. Even if she just watched over her, Wan'er would feel at ease.

"Sister, you must take good care of yourself and not distract mother."

Feng Siqi softly opened her mouth, "Mother's martial arts are not good, you must protect her."

"Okay."

Wan'er broke into a smile, the first she had ever shown. It was as if she had found confidence. She would certainly protect her mother well.

"I entrust Siyu and Siqi to your care, waiting for us to return."

"Alright." Dugu City didn't ask to go along. This Yao Clan sacred land, even if he wanted to, the Great Elder probably wouldn't allow it. Besides, Xi'er had already said so, following along would only distract her if it interfered with her plan.

Don't worry, I'm here! You guys are all stressing over nothing.

Mrs. Lu gave them a cold glance, "Just two days. Wait outside."

"My lady, please be careful."

Lu Hao reminded himself, he didn't want to lose anyone else. He owed Yao Wan Ying everything; he would repay her in the next life.

"My wife and I arrived at the gate of the holy place. As soon as the initiation ceremony was complete, she could return home first."

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Hao, "You follow along with a piece, and pick her up when the time comes."

"Then you..."

"I still have to go into the sacred ground, you can rest assured, I am a descendant of my ancestors, I have been there once, nothing will happen." Feng Lingxi took a deep breath and held Wan'er's hand, "Perhaps we don't need two days to get out."

The preparations for the journey to the Holy Land were complete. The Grand Elder was the most excited. He had finally waited until the departure day. Looking at Feng Lingxi bringing Wan'er, he didn't even have the mood to glance at Wan'er. Thinking that he could enter the Holy Land, the Grand Elder was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.

A throng of people arrived at the sacred land. Outside the sacred land, members of the Yao clan guarded the entrance. The elder patriarch watched them and commanded loudly, "While we are away, you must protect the Yao Clan well."

"Yes, Grand Elder."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the Yao tribe members surrounding her. Only then did she realize that thousands upon thousands of tribespeople had surrounded the sacred grounds, completely encircling it.

It seems the Grand Elder has other plans.

Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Hao and Dugu City, "You guys wait for us here, we'll be back soon."

"Watch out."

Du Gucheng ordered, and Feng Lingxi nodded, leading a group of people inside. Sun Cheng and others were carrying baskets filled with saltpeter, and in each person's basket, there was also food and water. Including Feng Lingxi, Lu Fuzi, and Wan’er, there were eleven people in all.

The Grand Elder left eight Elders outside, the result of a negotiation. The eight Elders held less power than the Grand Elder within the Yao clan and could only be forced to remain, watching as everyone else went inside together.

This time, Luoli went with them. Li Wuyan stayed behind; he wasn't from the Yao clan and didn't have the qualifications. This group was very imposing.

The Elder had never been this excited before. Looking at Feng Lingxi standing before the holy land, he really wished she would open the gate of the holy land immediately so he could go in. After decades of searching, the secrets of the Yao Clan were about to be revealed. The Elder's eyes were filled with anticipation.wrong How could the imperial court do such a thing"The imperial court had long been looking to diminish the power of Prince Chen. This was an opportunity they couldn't miss. Besides, this Prince Chen...
