stand what Fourth Prince means. However, if this war truly has to be fought, it cannot just be a war between the Xia Dynasty and the Gallow Kingdom. The Great Yuan Dynasty can also have a share of the...Upon hearing about what had happened to Dugu City, Huangfu Qingyun, who had originally intended to leave, hesitated again. Today was Xi'er's coronation ceremony, and someone was trying to disrupt it. He couldn't leave peacefully knowing this.

Without hearing her well-being, how could he return home at ease

"Perhaps I should go with you. These tribal armies gathering on Yaozhu are likely all after Xi'er. Luo Li wouldn't know if he could protect Xi'er's safety."

Since Dugu City saw that he wanted to go, he naturally wouldn't refuse to go with him.

As long as Huangfu Qingyun is around, there's an extra layer of security.

He was afraid that Xi'er would resent him because of this incident. As long as he could ensure Xi'er's safety and let Huangfu Qingyun see Xi'er safe, he would be relieved.

If you have time, then come with this king. We must stop them before the army reaches the Yao tribe, so that Xier will not be in danger.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go."

Huangfu Qingyun urged, and he left the house with Dugu City, hurriedly rode a horse, and met Ye Xi.

Yao Nationality Holy Altar

The coronation ceremony was held here. Tens of thousands of Yao people gathered to await the coronation of their saintess.

Yao Zhi's appearance caused great dissatisfaction among the elders, but they dared not criticize him to his face. Looking at the arrogant Sixth Elder and Eighth Elder, Yao Yi was extremely displeased, but he didn't dare say anything.

The Yao people, both the elders and the younger generations, are all waiting for a propitious time for the enthronement ceremony.

By the hour of *si*, when the wind begins to stir, Feng Lingxi would appear. As it neared midday, Luo Li, as the chieftain, naturally presided over this enthronement ceremony. Although some clansmen were displeased with Feng Lingxi's ascension to the position of Holy Lord, since the chieftain had spoken, they could only bear their resentment in silence.

Besides, Feng Lingxi is still the rightful heir to the Saint Lord.

Before the fourth hour, Feng Lingxi and Xiaoli returned to the Holy Maiden Hall from the Yaozu's forbidden land. They bathed and changed into the attire of the Holy Master, preparing for the enthronement ceremony.

Outside the Sacred Maiden's Temple, ten Shadow Guards and those arranged by Luo Li formed layers of protection, preventing anyone from entering even half a step into the temple. Yao Zhi repeatedly requested an audience but was turned away at the door.

Although extremely dissatisfied, Yao Zhi dared not do anything about it. He could only secretly continue to arrange his people. However, even when it reached the time of Chen (7-9 AM), he still hadn't received news that the tribal army had arrived at Yaozhi's tribe.

According to their schedule, the army should arrive at the Yao tribe at noon, so he had to delay time until noon.

"Your Highness, Yaozhi's people are sneaking down the mountain."

Yingliu reported back, watching the elaborately dressed Saintess. After the enthronement ceremony was complete, she would be the Saintess of Yao Clan.

"Keep watching, have there been any news from Yaochu's side"

"Yao Shu has returned and is awaiting your summons at any time, Your Highness."

Feng Lingxi nodded, thinking about something, and reminded, "Yingliu, how is the situation with Aman Has General Sun prepared everything"

"Everyone is ready, just waiting for the princess to give the word."

Feng Lingxi then felt relieved, "You continue to watch, Luo Li has everything arranged over there."

After Yingliu stepped down, Feng Lingxi looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly felt very strange.

The position of Saint Master of the Yao Clan, once ascended, means that Yao Clan matters will be inextricably linked to her. Even if she doesn't want to, she has to handle the affairs of the Yao Clan well. Only in this way can she stop being harmed by the Yao Clan.

Feng Lingxi's eyes grew colder, she adjusted the crossbow in her sleeve, the coldness in her beautiful eyes intensified.

"Xiao Li, your internal injuries haven't healed yet. Later, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to protect me. Safe evacuation is the most important thing. I have Ying Liu and the others protecting me, so I will be fine." Feng Ling Xi cautioned anxiously, fearing she would take a hit for her again.

"Your Highness, my wounds have almost healed and I can protect your safety."

Xiao Li patted her chest, "Dr. Li's medicine really works."

Feng Lingxi grabbed her hand to take her pulse, glaring at her with displeasure.

"Not fully better yet, listen to me, I don't want you to get hurt again, hear me"

"Queen..."

Little Li still wanted to retort, but the queen's gaze stifled her. She could only nod, clenching her fists secretly.

As the auspicious time was about to arrive, Feng Lingxi waited in the Saintess Hall for Luoli's notification. She couldn't afford to be careless today, not even a little bit, and she absolutely couldn't let Yaozhi succeed.

Luo Li is right, Yao Zhi and the Sixth and Eighth Elders are in cahoots. Last night, the Sixth and Eighth Elders met to discuss how to deal with her. As soon as Yao Zhi returned this morning, they alerted each other and secretly gathered their subordinates, ready to make a move.

What amused her most was that yesterday she went to the forbidden zone. They secretly went to the forbidden zone to find out what it was, but they were discovered by someone who had left, and they slunk away dejectedly.

By the third hour of noon, Yao Zhi could no longer contain himself.

At this point, there's still no word from the tribal people. After they went out, they never came back. This situation made him uneasy and wanting to leave, but he didn't know what excuse to use. After all, he was right next to Luo Li now. If he left, he was afraid Luo Li would misunderstand.

Once it passes the time of "Si," it becomes noon. The enthronement ceremony is about to begin.

Feng Lingxi did not appear either. Yao Zhi bowed and said, "Chief, shouldn't the Holy Maiden come out Everyone has been waiting for more than an hour. It's time to appear and prepare for the succession ceremony."

"Here, bring forth the Holy Maiden."

Luo Li spoke, looking at Yao Zhi's forehead covered in cold sweat. The unease in his eyes deepened the smile on Luo Li's lips.

"Elder Three, why are you sweating It's not hot today, is it"

Although it didn't snow today, the sun didn't come out either, and the weather was overcast.

Yao Zhi hurriedly said, "Chieftain, please don't laugh. I'm just nervous and afraid that I won't be able to complete the task you assigned me."

"Why are you nervous In this situation, as long as the Saintess comes out to complete the succession ceremony, you will have accomplished great things. This position of Grand Elder will be yours." Luo Li's words made Yao look surprised, raising his head and looking at him, "Clan Leader, you mean for me to be the Grand Elder"

"Well, you don't want to This position of Grand Elder is rightfully yours."

Yao Zhi hurriedly expressed his gratitude, but in his eyes, there was a hint of resentment even stronger than before. If they thought she was capable, why not simply give her the position of Holy Master

"Thank you, Chieftain, for your kindness. I will do my best to assist the new Saint Lord in managing the Yao Clan."

"The Saintess is here!"

Luo Li looked up at Feng Ling Xi, who was surrounded by a crowd. Dressed in the attire of a holy master, she was exceptionally beautiful today. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be captivating and mesmerizing, so beautiful that one couldn't look away. However, the coldness hidden in her eyes made people dare not have any inappropriate thoughts towards her.

Feng Lingxi walked to the top of the altar and looked down at the Yao people. This was her first time seeing such a grand sight. All the Yao people were dressed in their distinctive tribal attire, elaborately adorned for her coronation ceremony. This had always been the case since she was young.s, the Empress Dowager is waiting for you and Miss Wan'er in Ci'an Palace. This servant, by the Emperor's order, escorts you to Ci'an Palace.
