I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself Chapter 139 71: One Year

"I've arranged so helpers for you."

The next day.

When the Tuo Lord saw the more than a hundred Blood Curse Guard Martial Artists, he suddenly felt a chill co over him.

"Master, why do I feel like there's a familiar aura on these people?"

The Tuo Lord spoke, noticing that when these figures looked at him, there was not a trace of emotion.

Even though he was a dignified Tier Three Wild Beast, his evil qi was still not as strong as that of these humans, most of whom were Stone-Breakers and Mountain Openers.

"You're responsible for finding the Blood Witch and Blood Warriors; leave the rest to them."

...

Perhaps it was really the commotion caused by the Tier Four Flying Ship's crash that was so great, aside from the small migrating tribes, the Xiaoyang Race sent no powerful martial artists or large numbers of clan soldiers over.

After these small tribes of Xiaoyang migrated over, conflicts arose with the reerging Human Race tribes in the forests, the scale of the clashes wasn't large, so overall it was still stable.

Therefore, apart from a small group of clan soldiers heading south to hunt Xiaoyang, most of the Blazing Fla Tribe's energy was focused on digging dark channels and restoring production.

Although the weather was gradually heating up, it hadn't reached the point where ten suns were baking everyone to death.

With tens of thousands of dependents fully engaged in their work, each settlent cultivated large areas of fields and planted millet.

This season's millet, at harvest ti, t a different scene compared to previous harvest periods, perhaps due to the weather, the yield was down by twenty percent compared to when Blazing Fla was in the Old Clan Land.

However, even so, it was a rare bounty—the larger the cultivated fields, the more grain produced, ensuring that tens of thousands wouldn't go hungry in the short term.

With the first season's millet harvest, the dependents rebuilding the settlents finally felt settled; as long as they didn't face displacent again, life would only get better.

With the people's hearts returned, the Blazing Fla Tribe Division experienced continuous surprises, with many breaking through from the Stone-Breaking Realm to the Mountain Opening Realm.

Celestial Vein Martial Artists within the tribe also managed to unblock a new Celestial Vein.

...

A Mountain-Splitting Kui roared as it charged into the clan land from afar, and Huo Chang leapt straight off its back, heading directly for the Clan Hall.

Long stints outside had bronzed Huo Chang's face.

"Have there been any issues in the tribe since I've been away?"

Entering the Clan Hall, Huo Chang asked.

Huo Qii, already waiting in the Clan Hall, spoke up, "No issues."

"Shen Can—he's not holed up in the Ancestral Temple again, is he?"

Huo Qii said nothing, and Huo Chang imdiately understood.

"In the dark channels, a few of Shen Can's disciples are watching; if anything arises, Shen Can will handle it. He's performing ancestral rites in the Ancestral Temple, so staying inside ans the tribe is secure, it's a good thing."

Huo Qii now replaced the forr clan elder, Huo Yuo, becoming the tribe's Great Elder, overseeing various tribal affairs.

His previous Thousand Captain position he handed over to the newly ascended Celestial Vein Martial Artist, Huo Tu.

In the nearly year-long span within the tribe, six Celestial Veins were promoted; Huo Tu beca the tribe's first female Celestial Vein Martial Artist, previously serving as a scout under Huo Hou.

It was during the discovery of the Blood Witch at the Sunken Ship Hills.

At that ti, Huo Tu was just a Stone-Breaker Realm Martial Artist; within a re five or six years, having consud sothing unknown, she surpassed many male martial artists in the tribe, becoming one of the six Celestial Veins promoted this year.

"It all cos down to Shen Can, or else Blazing Fla wouldn't be what it is today."

Huo Chang, aware of the situation, understood that the tribe's developnt hinged on Shen Can's overt and covert assistance.

Without these aids, even if he, as the clan leader, had ambition, he still couldn't hold it together.

"Indeed, without the Ancestral Temple Keeper, our tribe wouldn't develop so quickly."

Quickly stepping into the Clan Hall, despite no major events recently, there were plenty of small tasks related to cultivation consumption and inventory he still needed to oversight.

"By the way, how is the Spirit Field within the tribe?"

Huo Chang asked casually as he flipped through the Beast Hide Scroll.

"The Spiritual Mud previously excavated from Upper Lake was interrupted due to the Xiaoyang invasion; now the witch dicine grown is ready for use.

The field cultivated half a year ago, planted with Spirit Rice, is also nearing harvest.

The third plot is being prepared, according to Shen Can, there's still a shortage of Source Power, it'll take so ti before it can be cultivated."

...

After speaking, Huo Qii watched Huo Chang lean back on a stone chair for a nap, then quietly stepped out.

When Huo Chang awoke from his rest, he found the sky had already darkened.

Without issues in the tribe, he had slept soundly.

It's fair to say that the past three hundred years of Blazing Fla's experiences couldn't compare to the eventful and impactful happenings of the last few years.

As the clan leader during Blazing Fla's rise, Huo Chang increasingly felt he possessed great fortune, especially to have encountered Shen Can.

Nowadays, Blazing Fla, self-proclaid as an Upper-class Tribe in the Northern Lands' forests, prompted no objections.

But such matters, Huo Chang disdained to indulge in.

He desired the tribes to bow their heads, collectively respecting Blazing Fla.

"No rush, it hasn't even been ten years, I'm not in a hurry."

Exiting the Clan Hall, he gazed at the ever more spectacular fiery clouds in the western sky.

He now wondered if sothing happened in the west, causing the weather to heat up and lake levels to recede.

"The ti has co for a second transformation."

His mind buzzing with thoughts, Huo Chang headed toward the Ancestral Temple.

Upon entering the Ancestral Temple, he saw Shen Can sitting cross-legged, hands pressed on the Sacrificial Tripod Cauldron.

"Clan Leader, co quickly, it's cool here."

At the sound, Huo Chang nearly stumbled backward out of the Ancestral Temple.

Staying near the Sacrificial Tripod Cauldron to absorb coolness was rely a minor bonus; as the Ancestral Temple Keeper, Shen Can naturally wouldn't engage in disrespecting the Sacrificial Spirit.

As the Ancestral Temple Keeper, he's the only one in the tribe capable of communicating with the Sacrificial Spirit.

At this mont, he was communicating with the Sacrificial Spirit.

In fact, Huo Chang's timing was perfect.

Don't be fooled by Shen Can's permanence in the Ancestral Temple; he's genuinely busy.

For instance, he considered Huo Chang's strength too low for being the Blazing Fla tribe's face, prompting his thoughts during communication with the Sacrificial Spirit about how the Sacrificial Spirit, being a wise predecessor, certainly carried formidable heritage.

Unexpectedly, after a period of prolonged communication, he truly deepened the connection with the Sacrificial Spirit.

Before Huo Chang could speak, Shen Can pulled him close to sit.

"Feels cool, release your Divine Sense."

Huo Chang intended to speak, but an indescribable aura erged.

In an instant, like a thunderous explosion, war drums echoed like thunder, cries of battle shook the heavens, and a fierce battle scene of clashing warhorses charged into Huo Chang's Divine Sense.
