I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

"You three, come with me into the clan to rest."

Bi Yuefeng spoke, ready to temporarily take Huo Ning and the others into the tribe, where a mixed crowd from all over was present.

That scene just now would soon spread far and wide.

In hindsight, it might have been better not to let Huo Ning and the others speak first; now it’s troublesome. As the Bi Fang Bo Division, known for crafting armor, how should they respond to Ji Land’s plea for aid? Too little would incur ridicule, while too much...

Why give too much.

Bi Yuefeng’s words made Huo Ning, Yuan Shanyun, and Yann Qiyun exchange glances.

In the past, during the great offensives of Xiaoyang, the Jishan Bo Division also sought aid from the Luo Region and the Yu Region.

After all, Ji Land is backed by these two regions, and if Ji Land falls to Xiaoyang, then Luo and Yu naturally become the new frontiers.

But this time, they were not here to seek aid at all.

They came to inform everyone that Ao Mountain had colluded with Xiaoyang, and Xiaoyang might advance south, so everyone should be prepared.

However, judging by the scene, the expressions on the faces of the passing martial artists showed that they didn’t really care.

"Thank you, but the chiefs of the three divisions have ordered us to quickly circulate the notice to all divisions, informing them about Xiaoyang advancing south."

Yuan Shanyun spoke, "The message has been delivered. We shall take our leave now."

"Wait!"

Seeing the three about to leave, Bi Yuefeng spoke up to stop them.

"Is it true that Jishan cannot withstand Xiaoyang anymore?"

Yuan Shanyun glanced at Bi Yuefeng, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding martial artists.

The silver-white hair at his temples seemed to swell, and his aura visibly fluctuated.

"With Xiaoyang outside and traitors inside, how could we withstand it!"

After speaking, Yuan Shanyun gently nudged the Glazed Dragon Beast beneath him, turning in a direction toward the distance.

Huo Ning and Yann Qiyun didn’t delay and quickly followed after Yuan Shanyun.

The three figures disappeared into the distance, leaving countless figures around in a daze.

"Is it true that the Ao Mountain Bo Division colluded with Xiaoyang? How did Ao Mountain get involved with Xiaoyang!"

"Don’t forget, there was an incident where Ao Mountain Bo Division’s flying ship was said to have crashed in Ji Land."

"Could Ao Mountain really be involved with Xiaoyang? If so, Ao Mountain is truly despicable for colluding with Xiaoyang."

"Who knows, Jishan has held back Xiaoyang for eight thousand years. Why can’t they do it now? There must be a reason."

"Damn it, my division is just north of Yu Region. If Ji Land can’t hold, Xiaoyang will attack my area next."

"Hahaha... I think you’d better return and relocate your tribe soon. I’ve heard Xiaoyang devours people mercilessly."

...

Bi Yuefeng quickly returned to the clan land and reported the matter to the Great Elder, then summoned the Clan Chief.

Soon, the elders gathered in the Clan Hall.

"Why didn’t the horse handlers of Ji Land explain things clearly before leaving? Yuefeng, why didn’t you stop them and have them make things clear?"

Seventh Elder of Bi Fang, with a sharp and mean appearance, seemed to be a rather stingy person at first glance.

"I reckon this is probably just a bluff. Thousands of years with no issue, why now? Could it be they’re just asking for more weapons?"

"Silence."

The Great Elder spoke, suppressing the chaotic murmurs in the hall.

Lord Bi Fang entered from outside and seated himself in the main hall.

"Yuefeng, did the visitors just say Ao Mountain has colluded with Xiaoyang?"

Bi Yuefeng dared not delay: "Reporting to Lord, the visitors indeed mentioned Ao Mountain colluding with Xiaoyang. There were many outsiders present coming to purchase weapons, and they’ve all heard it. I believe this news will soon spread."

As Bi Yuefeng’s words fell, some elders in the hall began to debate again.

"How did Ao Mountain, so far in Yun Land, get involved with Xiaoyang?"

"Can’t say for sure. Previously, Ao Mountain often headed north. By the way, Ao Mountain’s war drum has sounded more than once before."

Upon hearing an elder mention the war drum, everyone’s attention quickly turned to the Kui Ox War Drum.

As a tribe specializing in crafting, the Bi Fang Bo Division naturally could forge Tier Four Divine Weapons and Witch Artifacts.

However, such graded weapons aren’t forged on a whim; most often, sufficient high-tier ore deposits must be gathered.

On average, every three to four hundred years, Bi Fang opens for Tier Four weapon crafting.

Often, these are made for other Bo Divisions, of course, bringing significant benefits to Bi Fang Bo Division.

With a knack for forging, the divine weapons passed down in the Yongshan Bo Division naturally became objects of desire for the Bi Fang Bo Division.

Especially the Kui Ox War Drum personally crafted by Marquis Yongshan.

At this moment, finally, an elder realized why the Lord inquired about Ao Mountain’s collusion with Xiaoyang rather than Xiaoyang advancing south.

Ao Mountain’s collusion with Xiaoyang is beneficial!

"Ji Land’s Three Divisions’ proclamation is correct. Ao Mountain’s collusion with Xiaoyang should indeed be a common target for all divisions!"

The Second Elder clapped his hands, eyes shining brightly.

Back in the day, Ao Mountain Bo Division could seize the Kui Ox War Drum due to its formidable power.

However, compared to eight thousand years ago, Ao Mountain Bo Division’s strength is now less than half.

The war drum stayed in Ao Mountain simply because it had remained silent.

But now, the drum has sounded.

And it has sounded more than once.

...

After leaving the Bi Fang Bo Division, Huo Ning and the others headed east, intending to circle through the Luo Region before returning to Ji Land.

The notice has already been sent out, proclaimed continuously along their journey.

During their travels, whenever they encountered a major city at the Ruins Market of the Human Race, they would also disseminate the proclamation message.

The Ruins Market gathering tribes from everywhere, ought to spread the news to many tribes once known.

Just like at the Bi Fang Bo Division, when faced with the proclamation of the Ji Land Three Divisions alliance, the martial artists in the heartland of Yongyi often referred to it with terms like Northern Barbarians and Horse Slave.
