pare their dowries according to the legitimate daughter's list. The current situation at General's Manor probably won't allow for that."Feng Aotiān's face darkened, "How so, could it be that even this..."Mother, how did this 'swastika' jade pendant end up in your hands"

Yao Wan'ying didn't even raise her head, "You think your mother has been traveling and sightseeing all these years Of course it was your mother who snatched them."

"Taken"

Yo Wan-ying responded, "Do you remember those men in black The one who orchestrated them was the one wearing this jade pendant. They were sent to pursue us, and in fact, this jade pendant controls the power of the Yao clan's Shadow Guards. The Shadow Guards were originally highly trained individuals established by our ancestors. Their mission was to protect the safety of the Yao Clan's holy master. However, as time passed, the status of the holy master was gradually replaced, and the authority eventually fell into the hands of those in power. This led to the once protectors of the holy master becoming the very ones who tormented and assassinated him."

"So that's how it is, there have been so many changes happening with the Yao Clan."

“Otherwise, do you think why the current Grand Elder can control the Yao Clan, even wanting to open the Holy Land and seek the secrets of the Holy Land He is actually a traitor, a traitor of the Yao Clan. He wants to seize everything from the ancestors, going against heaven, which is unacceptable.”

Yao Wan'ying placed the jade pendant on top of the stone coffin, and it creaked open. Instead of her ancestor's remains, there was only a box inside. Feng Lingxi stared at the box, her eyes wide with shock. This quickly opening the stone coffin without any suspense...

Yao Wan'ying lifted the box and opened it. Inside was a book, filled with words. It was a record of her ancestor's life, including her regrets about her past actions after coming here. It also stated that if anyone ever opened this place, she hoped they would help her fulfill her unfulfilled wish: to completely destroy this place.

Besides, the ancestral records also said that beneath this stone coffin lay a tunnel leading to another dimension. It was from here she left, and she said that after her departure, she hoped future generations would destroy this place and prevent anyone with ill intentions from entering, nor allow anyone to uncover its secrets, because once discovered, it would disrupt the world. She regretted everything she had done, but she didn't want to die. She left, leaving this mess behind, waiting for a destined person a thousand years later to help her clean up.

Feng Lingxi looked at the button under the box. That was the time-space portal mentioned in the ancestor's letter. It turned out that there were really time-space portals in this world, and these portals were man-made.

"Mother, what should we do"

Yao WanYing took a deep breath and looked at Feng LingXi, her voice heavy with emotion. "Xier, have you ever thought about opening this time-space portal and taking a look"

"What are you looking at"

Feng Lingxi’s eyes were full of confusion. Yao Wan'ying suddenly grabbed her arm, “Xier, mother wants to leave this place, and this is the best opportunity. When mother leaves, you fly from here, following the route mother brought you, back to Shimen. Use your blood to open Shimen, leave this place. The rest, mother leaves it to you.”

Feng Lingxi hurriedly grabbed her mother's arm. Hearing this, she understood that her mother wanted to go to another time and space through the time tunnel.

"Mother, are you really going to leave me"

Yo Wanyi patted her hand, "Xi'er, I want to see what the world of our ancestors is like. Mother knows that you and your ancestors are from the same place. Since you have attachments here, you can't leave. But mother isn't like you."

Yao WanYing finished speaking, reached out and pressed the mechanism. The stone coffin opened downwards in the middle, splitting to both sides. A blinding white light made Feng LingXi shield her eyes. In that instant, Yao WanYing jumped inside, leaving behind a voice, "Xier, don't blame your mother!"

The voice quickly disappeared, the crevices of the stone coffin closed again, restoring it to its original state, only Feng Lingxi was left alone, with no sign of Yao Wan'ying by her side.

Feng Lingxi stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly at the stone coffin as it closed. So this was her mother's purpose all along. Her ambition, her greed – she knew everything.

I don't know how long it took, Feng Lingxi picked up the '卍' character jade pendant on the ground and put it in her bosom. She turned to look at the hazy smoke beneath her, closed her eyes, and jumped down. Her body quickly stabilized. Feng Lingxi opened her eyes and saw herself floating in mid-air, then flew towards the thirteenth floor and landed steadily.

As Fengling returned from the thirteenth floor to her starting point, she didn't feel tired at all. In fact, she didn't even feel hungry.

Feng Lingxi sat beside the bundle, opening the dried food and water inside. After eating and drinking her fill, she stood up and walked towards the stone gate. Following what her mother had said, she dripped blood on it. The stone gate emitted a dull sound and slowly rose.

The Yao clan members guarding outside heard the sound of the stone gate opening. They excitedly approached, watching Feng Lingxi walk out from behind the gate. When they saw that there was no one behind her, everyone instinctively took a few steps back, their eyes filled with panic.

Luo Li was the first to react. It was Feng Ling Xi's second day inside, and seeing her come out, Luo Li excitedly stepped forward, but she didn't see Yao Wan Ying. Luo Li's heart was filled with confusion.

"You're out"

Feng Lingxi raised her head and glanced at Luoli. Her gaze fell on the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder was both excited and flustered by Feng Lingxi's gaze. Feng Lingxi coming out meant that they could enter inside, but where was Yao Wan'ying

What happened these two days, he wanted to know.

Feng Lingxi glanced at Luoli, her body softened, and she fainted. Everyone was frightened and rushed over. Leading the way was Luoli, who quickly caught Feng Lingxi, picking her up in his arms.

"Grand Elder..."

"Take her back to be treated quickly."

The Grand Elder was extremely nervous. If Feng Lingxi had an accident, all his plans would be ruined. Now, only Feng Lingxi remained. Where was Yao Wan'ying What happened here Only Feng Lingxi knew the truth.

Luo Li brought Feng Ling back to the Holy Temple, asking Li Wu Yan to examine her.

After a moment, Li Wuyan finished his examination. Looking at the elders who anxiously waited around Feng Lingxi, he slowly said, "She's just too tired and fainted. She'll be fine once she rests and recovers."

"Tired out"

The Grand Elder was full of doubts. Seeing Li Wu Yan nod, he asked again, "She came out after two days, which is much faster than Yao Wan Ying before. However, when Yao Wan Ying came out back then, she didn't faint, and she was still energetic. What exactly is going on"

Li Wuyan glanced at Feng Lingxi, “Now we can only wait for her to wake up and find out what’s going on. We can only wait patiently.”

"Ayan, her body is really exhausted and fainted. Did she get hurt"

When asked about Luo Li's worry, Li Wu Yan shook his head. Everyone looked puzzled. They were unharmed. Where did Yao Wan Ying go It couldn't be that... she was still there, could itueen smiled, "Is that all"Feng Lingxi nodded, seriously to the point of being unable to be any more serious. There was not a shred of ambiguity; her liking was pure and simple—she just liked it."Then,...
