I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself Chapter 67 - 38: Huo Chang: Playing Myself
I hadn’t seen a Lingyu before, but I had heard of their na.
Now I’ve seen the real thing.
The scene of feeding the Lingyu completely exceeded the imagination of Cang Li and Ape-Frog.
They hadn’t even dread of such a spectacle.
The Lingyu Bo Division, its reputation spreads over tens of thousands of miles, with countless martial artists within the tribe.
For a mont, the two were so shocked they even forgot their headaches.
Why did they co into the mountains in the first place?
Wasn’t it just to prevent the Upper Lake Tribe from finding the Witch Weapon left behind by the Lingyu Tribe?
Good news, they really found the Witch Weapon.
It’s just being worn by soone.
Jifu swallowed the fish food into his mouth, diving into the water to drown his tears of humiliation.
If you can’t see them, it’s as if they haven’t flowed.
Damn it, he must seek revenge.
Repay it ten thousand tis over.
Shen Can clapped his hands and turned to the two behind him.
"Why aren’t you speaking?"
Cang Li and Ape-Frog truly didn’t know how to start the conversation.
Looking around at the surroundings, they decided to proceed cautiously.
"The humble tribe mbers greet the Upper Division lord,"
Cang Li finally opened his mouth, and Ape-Frog followed suit, bowing.
"We did not know the lord was here; we hope for your forgiveness."
...
"You two are more respectful than that fool last ti."
Cang Li and the others imdiately realized he must be talking about Shui Miao from the Upper Lake Division.
Damn it, he really got ahead.
But it sounds like Shui Miao angered the Lingyu Tribe lord.
"I have so things to do here. Are you willing to help ?"
Under the blessing of Water Magic, Shen Can’s eyes were as deep as a dark pool, increasingly profound for two not trained in Witch Cultivation like Cang Li and Ape-Frog.
"Willing, it is an honor for our tribe to serve you,"
Cang Li reacted first.
Ape-Frog quickly followed, " too."
"May I ask what the lord wants us to do?"
Shen Can slowly began to speak: "During our recent East Hunting Marsh expedition, we wounded an alien species Flood Dragon. Unfortunately, the mountain flood was too strong and the waves too fierce, allowing it to escape.
This Flood Dragon has a high bloodline, perfect as the foundational dicinal guide for to advance to a Tier Three Wizard, and with it, I have a better chance of advancing to Tier Four."
The justification for staying naturally couldn’t be too low; otherwise, it wouldn’t fit his status or his reason for remaining.
Tier Four Wizard!
Listening to Shen Can ntioning Tier Three and Tier Four Wizards so casually, Cang Li and his companion felt dizzier.
The Upper Division is indeed the Upper Division; the realms they casually talk about are ones they can’t even hope to reach.
"This Flood Dragon has extrely high spiritual wisdom. In its heavily injured state, it dares not return to the depths of the Great Marsh and is hiding in the nearby waters.
We haven’t caught it despite several attempts, and after being repeatedly ambushed, it’s now extrely alert.
I need many people as bait to lure it out.
I hope you won’t be like that fool last ti, who killed most of a bait tribe I had arranged.
Thinking that with a small Blood Witch and a damaged Witch Artifact, they could do whatever they wanted."
Cang Li and Ape-Frog exchanged a surreptitious glance, then quickly averted their eyes.
The Blood Witch, the damaged Witch Artifact, most likely was Shui Miao.
It matched.
Everything matched.
No wonder the Upper Huang Division in the mountain dared to brazenly wear Witch Armor to the Ruins Market; it’s because they won the favor of the Lingyu Tribe lord.
Then, Shui Miao, this fool, relied on the help of a Blood Witch and, without understanding the situation, wiped out the Upper Huang Division with a backhand.
Also, all these years, several tribes have been exterminated without a trace, which would be possible with a Blood Witch’s assistance.
As Elders, they naturally understood sowhat what a Blood Witch was.
It’s a fallen Witch who serves Disaster Beasts.
The Upper Lake Division actually collaborates with Blood Witches.
Truly damned.
Though thinking this in their hearts, they couldn’t help but ponder that if their tribe knew a Blood Witch, they might also be tempted to cooperate.
Exterminate a tribe every few years; even if they could only obtain half the resources, the speed of such tribal power expansion, who could resist?
At this mont, soone quickly walked into the cave.
"Young Master, the people of the Blazing Fla Division have arrived."
Accompanied by footsteps, three figures entered.
Huo Chang led, with Huo Qii and Huo Chong following behind.
After quickly stepping into the cave, Huo Chang intentionally glanced at Cang Li and Ape-Frog, with a wary look in his eyes.
"Reporting to the Upper Division lord, the small division has gathered the remnants of the Upper Huang Division. They are cultivating and farming in the north of the Great Marsh, living as a normal tribe, hunting and farming."
Huo Chang bowed upon entering.
"Well done."
Huo Chang again cast a aningful glance at Cang Li and his companion.
"Lord, regarding the remnants, our Blazing Fla Division can handle them. I’ve already dispatched clan mbers far and wide to capture the remnants and wildlings.
It’s just that the pestilence is too severe, reducing nearby tribes. Please give us more ti, and we will ensure the coastline of the Great Marsh is filled with normally farming tribes, preventing the Flood Dragon from noticing any anomalies."
"Give you ti, but who will give my family’s Young Master ti?"
In the water pool, Jifu poked his head out, sneering: "There’s less than ten years left before the Lingyu Tribe’s next Clan Son trial."
"Ant, do you know what a Clan Son is?"
"That’s the heir to the Clan Chief’s position, destined to inherit the Ling Bo status."
"Do you understand?"
Jifu’s mockery required no acting, as contempt emanated from his very bones naturally.
"Command millions of tribe mbers, control tens of thousands of miles of land, with millions of subordinates, a word and hundreds of thousands of Mountain Opening and Celestial Vein martial artists wield halberds, aspiring for the existence of a Tier Five Great Marquis."
"Though the Young Master may not be from one of the current Lingyu’s nine main branches, five generations ago, he was also part of a main branch.
Were it not for the Exotic Beast Flood Dragon, how could he remain in this remote corner exchanging words with you ants?"
Having finished his mocking, Jifu plunged back into the water.
The cave fell into a brief silence.
Huo Chang bowed his head, "The Blazing Fla Division is willing to fight tooth and nail for you, we will definitely lure out that alien species."
Then, Jifu leaped out of the water again.
"Do you really think the Flood Dragon is just so ordinary bloodline you can catch like garbage? This creature is on the path to becoming a Tier Five... "
"Shut up."
Shen Can raised his hand and pointed, a stream of water materialized out of thin air, cascading over Jifu’s head and pressing it back into the water.
"Young Master, your witchcraft is becoming more formidable. Once you secure the Flood Dragon to strengthen your foundation, you will surely reach the pinnacle of a Tier Five Wizard."
...
"You two who are daydreaming, can you get your hands on... wild n?"
Jifu lay in the pool, looking towards Cang Li and Yuan Fu.
"If you can do this right, our Young Master might just share so things with you, which you will find invaluable."
"Isn’t that right?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Chang quickly responded, "Yes, yes, yes, a smaller division having a wizard is all thanks to the guidance of our lord, even allowing clan mbers to break the physical body limit and attain Power of Fifty Desolations thanks to the bestowed witch dicine."
Hearing this, Cang Li and Yuan Fu were both taken aback.
This lord from the upper division not only drove them to work but also offered such benefits?
Witchcraft, witch dicine to break the limits of Martial Dao.
Witchcraft was unfamiliar to them, but they had long known that the more desolate power accumulated before the Mountain Opening Realm, the easier the cultivation would be after advancing to Celestial Vein.
However, breaking through such limits was extrely difficult.
With the cultivation thods and resources within the clan, reaching Power of Fifty Desolations was the utmost, and not every generation could attain it.
Now it seed that a small tribe of a few thousand, with the use of witch dicine, could rival the accumulated foundation of their two divisions over nurous generations.
The upper division, terrifying indeed.
Just a little spillover is enough for the lower division to benefit endlessly.
Cang Li hurriedly bowed, "Our small division is also willing to serve the lord. We have many slaves in our tribe, willing to offer them to the lord of the upper division to be used as bait to lure out the Wild Beasts."
If they could truly gain fortune from the Lingyu Tribe, the Tribe Leader and Elders would definitely support his actions.
Yuan Fu followed suit, " too."
Huo Chang glanced at Cang Li and Yuan Fu, an urgent look appearing on his face, "My lord, our division is willing to exhaust all efforts to capture the remaining wild n, swearing to lure out the Flood Dragon."
Huo Chang’s expression changed, falling into the sight of Cang Li and Yuan Fu, the two instinctively exchanged a glance.
...
The principle of first giving in order to take is one that Shen Can understood well; how to return the favor later was up to his whim.
Besides, was his witchcraft really from the Lingyu?
Is Jifu really part of the Lingyu Tribe?
Which of these is false?
Flood Dragon?
How to prove there is no Flood Dragon in the Great Marsh?
Moreover, there was the living example of the Blazing Fla standing right there.
Bringing in the Blazing Fla was to forge a competitive relationship, to show the reality to the Ape Mountain divisions, also to ensure the Blazing Fla could eventually escape.
So that Blazing Fla wouldn’t beco the hunting target of these two divisions.
Everyone was working for the prospective clan sons of the Lingyu Tribe.
Who was the Lingyu Clan Son, wearing a mask? How in the world would I know?
Maybe dead, who knows.
Not many even within the Blazing Fla Tribe knew of this matter.
The rapid developnt of the Blazing Fla Tribe after the flood disaster could well be attributed to the Lingyu Clan Son.
A small Wild Division suddenly gained witchcraft, constantly advancing to Celestial Vein, truly believing it was the ancestors showing their spirit?
If you said it out loud, people would still have to believe it.
Shen Can waved his hand, streams of water bundled together, sketching one Witch Rune after another in the air, forming a display of witchcraft in mid-air.
"I have witchcraft, and I have cultivation techniques too."
"I only want the Flood Dragon."
"In my Lingyu Tribe, there will be rewards for rits; it depends on your capabilities."
"Oh, you can address as Young Master Fu."
...
Outside the cave.
"Please, hold on."
Huo Chang, along with Huo Chong and Huo Qii, was blocked by Cang Li and Yuan Fu.
"What do you want?"
Huo Chang looked warily at the two.
Cang Li smiled and said, "There’s no need to be so tense, we are all working for the lord of the upper division. We simply wish to get close to your division."
"It’s not necessary, we..." Huo Qii started to speak but was stared back into silence by Huo Chang.
"You must be from a large tribe outside of the mountains, like the Upper Lake Division."
Cang Li nodded, "No, no, we are different from the Upper Lake Division."
"I know you are a large tribe, with many slaves at hand, but who can attract the Flood Dragon is yet to be known."
Huo Chang’s tone was sharp, laced with caution, treating Cang Li and Yuan Fu as opponents.
The more this was so, the more reassured Cang Li and Yuan Fu beca.
With that said, Huo Chang led his people to leave directly.
"Wait!"
Yuan Fu took a few quick steps forward, trying to stop them, his words unfinished.
"What are you doing?"
Huo Qii spun around, delivering a punch.
Yuan Fu instinctively switched to a fist, eting Huo Qii’s punch.
Bang!
Blood energy clung to Yuan Fu’s fist, his Qi strength surging, after taking the punch, Huo Qii retreated, shattering the stone beneath his feet.
He swung his punching arm to diffuse the pain from the collision.
Yuan Fu and Cang Li focused on Huo Qii’s fist, indeed lacking any blood energy coverage.
"Go."
Seeing the two no longer attacking, Huo Chang led Huo Qii and Huo Chong away.
Yuan Fu and Cang Li exchanged knowing looks as they watched them leave.
"Pure physical strength!"
"We must first find our people at the Upper Huang and return to the tribe quickly, the Blazing Fla Division has gained the upper hand, we cannot lag behind."
