Chapter 1004: Metamorphosis 78

nd not leaving his gaze."Your Highness, the Shu Taifei and the Fourth Princess have arrived in the front hall." The voice was as soft as a whisper. With her delicate bones outlined by her movements,..."What does the Lord mean by this"

Yao Bi Mian looked at Feng Ling Xi fearlessly, "The Holy Lord informed the six elders to go to Ghost Saint Nation, they have already been intercepted. I just want to find the six elders and confront him, wanting to ask clearly if he went to Ghost Saint Nation, is there anything inappropriate"

"Really"

Wind Lingxi looked at the few people behind her, “These are all your subordinates. They have all confessed. It was you who ordered them to go down the mountain to find the whereabouts of Elder Six, and to tell Elder Six’s people that I was investigating his whereabouts, so he would leave quickly.”

Yao Bi glanced at the few people, “They are indeed my people, but they are also members of the Yao clan. Moreover, the words the Saint Lord just said, I did not say them. How could the Saint Lord be sure that their words are true and not someone framing me”

Feng Lingxi, hearing Yao Bi's words, turned to look at the few people behind her.

"See, you served him, and what did you get in the end"

Those few people looked at Yao Bi, their eyes firm, they all committed suicide by biting their tongues, so fast that Feng Lingxi couldn't stop them.

"You..."

"Your Majesty, she committed suicide by biting her tongue."

Xiao Li looked at the several people who had fallen down, her face was very ugly. Looking at Yao Bi again, her eyes showed no remorse, nor any panicked expression.

"Yao Bi, you really are ruthless and vicious. What did you threaten them with"

Yao Song angrily stepped forward, grabbing Yao Bi's collar. Facing Yao Bi's cold eyes, he gritted his teeth in anger.

"Third Elder, if you want to find fault with me, there's no shortage of excuses. If you truly want to remove me, just say so directly. Why resort to such flimsy pretexts and slander my innocence"

Yao Song was taken aback and his face turned livid with anger. He pointed at Yao Bi, "You, Yao Bi! I never expected you to be this kind of person. Don't forget who put you in the position of the Fifth Elder."

Yao Bi looked at Feng Ling Xi, his eyes fearless.

"Since the Lord doesn't trust me, I won't take these five elders positions. It's better to give them up than be mistrusted."

"Since you're so adamant about not wanting the position of Fifth Elder, then I'll remove it from you. That way, you can't say I forced you to be the Fifth Elder." Feng Lingxi's words caused Yao Bi's face to change drastically.

He didn't expect Feng Lingxi to actually take away his position as the Fifth Elder. He said this just to let Feng Lingxi know his persistence, but he never expected her to play cards outside the deck.

"Elder Three, immediately draft a decree in my name, announcing the revocation of Yao Biwu's status as an Elder. It must be disseminated to every member of the Yao Clan within three days so that everyone is aware of this Elder status revocation."

"Right away, my lord."

Yao Song looked at Yao Bi, a triumphant expression on his face.

Yao Bi was livid, his face ashen. He stared at Feng Lingxi in disbelief. She had actually decided to revoke his position as Elder Five.

To speak for Elder Six, he has messed up all the elders' positions. This is too undeserving.

"Must the Lord do this"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow and looked into Yao Bi's eyes, where a suppressed anger flickered. "Isn't this all done according to your wishes You don't want to be the Fifth Elder, and I won't force you. The principle of the Yao clan is to allow our people to live freely. Since you are unwilling, I will not force you. Besides, within the Yao clan, there are many capable individuals. Finding a replacement for the position of Fifth Elder would not be difficult."

Feng Lingxi said these words, and Yao Bi's face grew increasingly worse.

"I, Feng Lingxi, dislike forcing others to do things against their will."

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

Yao Bi's face was pale and bloodless. "Such is the heart of the Holy Lord," he said.

"As the Yaozu's Saint Master, one must be meticulous in everything. That's what the Clan Chief taught me."

"If the Chieftain knew you had so carelessly revoked my Elder position, he would certainly be disappointed in you, and so would the tribe."

Yao Bi's eyes were filled with suppressed anger. He wanted to see how Feng Lingxi would explain this to the clansmen. This elder position, simply revoked like that, treated so casually at the banquet, would surely chill the hearts of the clansmen. At that time, it would inevitably lead to dissatisfaction among the people. He wanted to see how she would explain this to them.

"Don't worry about this matter. I believe Elder Yao Song will explain it clearly to the clan members. Besides, you don't want to be an elder. I have already told Elder Yao Song to spread the word, so there is no need to worry about the clan people being unhappy with me."

Wind Ling Xi looked at Yao Bi, her eyes devoid of any warmth. "Moreover, the Holy Master of the Yao Clan is me, not you. If I don't even have the right to make this decision, what use is the position of Holy Master"

"You..."

Hearing this, Yao Bi couldn't control the anger surging within him. He clenched his fists, struggling to quell the flames of fury in his heart.

"Yao Bi, when I chose you to be the Fifth Elder, I valued your intelligence and ability to handle affairs. As it turns out, you possess both, but you choose not to use them for me. Since that's the case, there's no need for you to stay."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, and coldly ordered, "Throw him in the dungeon for me and await sentencing."

"Feng Ling Xi, what crime have I committed"

"The crime of treason." Feng Lingxi's face was extremely cold. "You don't need to worry, I will soon make you admit what you did willingly." Yao Song's investigation over the past few days had given her truly shocking results. This Yao Bi and the Sixth Elder were in cahoots. Although the purpose of the Sixth Elder's trip to the Ghost Saint Kingdom was unclear, there was already evidence of treason. The Sixth Elder colluded with Yao Bi, and the two sold many secrets of the Yao clan. Many members of the Yao clan suffered as a result. More importantly, this Yao Bi, for the sake of profit, sold many things belonging to the Yao clan and even colluded with outsiders, betraying her whereabouts.

What made Feng Lingxi the angriest was that last time with the explosives, it was him who told outsiders about it. Although he didn't know how he learned the recipe, Yao Bi received a lot of wealth because of it.

Not only that, but Yao Bi also, along with the Sixth Elder, used this wealth to buy land and property outside. They also forcibly abducted women from villages, and committed countless other crimes, too many to list.

Had she not found Yao Bi, Feng Lingxi would never have believed that the person she had chosen was such a scum.

Besides, Feng Lingxi also found out that when her mother fell off the cliff, he wasn't an elder yet, but he led the clamor and had a share in it.

"If you want to find fault with someone, there will always be a reason. Even the Lord can do this."

Feng Lingxi's cold eyes swept over Yao Bi, "Yao Bi, without evidence, you wouldn't say such things. Just rest assured and wait for me to gather the evidence. I won't disappoint you. Take him away."

Yao Bi looked at her, sneering repeatedly. He didn't believe Feng Lingxi had such ability.

In a few days, you'll come and release me yourself, to apologize.

Yao Bi's eyes were full of scorn, really taking himself seriously as this holy master.

"Your Majesty, what does he mean by that"

"What does that mean He's a Luoli who stayed behind in the Yao Clan. I believe someone will come for me soon and let him go."

"Then why are you still keeping him locked up Wouldn't that be going against the Chief"

>much more composed. However, this newfound clarity also brought an unprecedented fear to Dugu Xiu.He certainly didn't want to give up this hard-won throne."I am incompetent and unworthy. Please, Your...
