I Steal the Ancestors' Sacrifices to Nourish Myself

"Blazing Flame Division."

Amidst the howling wind, Lord Jishan spoke up, "Believe it or not, over eight thousand years ago, before Jishan existed, there was indeed a Fire Division in the Northern Lands.

Does your Blazing Flame Division have any connection to this former Fire Bo Division?"

Lord Jishan’s words left Shen Can stunned, unaware if there was any connection.

He was hearing the name Fire Division from Lord Jishan for the first time.

"Perhaps."

Shen Can responded ambiguously.

The matter of the Fire Division is already thousands of years past.

If there’s any benefit from it, Shen Can wouldn’t mind acknowledging it, but the Northern Mountains have long become a land of changes, so better let it be.

The three gathered together and quickly discussed the development of the three divisions.

The three divisions relied on mutual assistance formed along Guimu River, although Xiaoyang was severely defeated and had to escape, this wasn’t the first time this happened in the past several thousand years.

If given time to redevelop, they will emerge from the forest once more. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Therefore, aside from their own development, the three divisions must remain vigilant against Xiaoyang to prevent being exploited.

"Muo Xiao’s cunning has multiple tricks. After making a move against Yann Race Leader, Elder Jishan should also guard against Muo Xiao’s hidden hand."

Shen Can spoke.

From the moment he clashed with Muo Xiao, he sensed the menace and determination from Muo Xiao.

Yann Wanyun’s possession was purely coincidental, thus leading to the establishment of the Yanran Tribe.

Otherwise, the controlled ones would likely have been the Xiaoyang Martial Artists of Mu Kang Lineage.

"I’ve already taken heed."

Lord Jishan’s eyebrows furrowed.

This sudden move shook Muo Xiao deeply.

This indicates that Muo Xiao’s plans were entirely disrupted, and his delayed action must have a reason.

After the great battle, Lord Jishan now returns to ponder the pre-battle circumstances, forming some hypotheses.

"By the way, the Strongest Fist Technique exhibited by Muo Xiao on the battlefield was heard by many clan soldiers, impossible to conceal.

Moreover, with our message sent to various divisions, many Yongyi tribes may investigate northward."

"Besides, Ao Mountain Bo Division might desperately want to crush our three divisions."

"Whoever makes the mistake, without finding the exact traitor, Ao Mountain will be targeted."

Yann Wanyun spoke coldly, "If Ao Mountain dares to come again, and without the immediate threat of Xiaoyang, I truly do not fear them."

Previously, Ao Mountain attacked Yanran indiscriminately, a fact Yann Wanyun hasn’t forgotten.

They regard the people outside Ji Land as barbarians and horse slaves, paying no heed to reason.

...

"When your divisions advance to Bo Division, please inform me. At that time, I will have the clan elders visit in person."

As the three descended the small mountain together, Lord Jishan looked towards Shen Can and Yann Wanyun.

"Congratulations to Yanran on advancing to Bo Division. My division has a weak foundation, lacking clan land and vassal tribes, making achieving the prestige of Bo Division too abrupt."

Shen Can spoke, knowing well his own situation, realizing that now is the time for Blazing Flame to convert clan strength into Bo Division’s foundation.

Once converted, the rank of Bo Division is set.

If not for this great battle, there would have long been time for recuperation.

Yet if not for the battle, there wouldn’t be an opportunity for respite.

Lord Jishan and Yanran Race Leader led their army, moving south along Guimu River.

The entire army was not taken; each division left behind two hundred thousand elite soldiers, ready to establish garrison city watch posts along strategic locations and Guimu River, creating a Great Wall of Fire for long-term defense.

Standing high, Shen Can watched the two divisions’ fleets head south, competing to vanish into the river’s distance.

Meanwhile, the Three Fire Tribe members in central Ji Land were moving north along Guimu River.

The campaign against Xiaoyang temporarily paused.

Of course, should any incident arise within Yanran or among Jishan, Blazing Flame, Xiaoyang will certainly emerge once more from the forest.

It now hides within the mountains, waiting for an opportunity.

Three Fire Tribe members move north, bringing Elder Sacrificial Spirit Jii Tianlong. Once they arrive, the clan land will possess two Tier Four combat powers, making defense more than adequate.

The secret technique on Yann Wanyun is temporarily suppressed, yet Lord Jishan suffers considerable injuries.

Most of Xiaoyang retreats into the forest, but Xiaoyang Race’s Tier Four can move easily.

Qiu Yin and Mu Kang’s two lineages might hide quietly to conserve strength, yet Muo Xiao won’t passively wait and may cause trouble at any moment.

Should he intercept Lord Jishan and activate the secret technique on Yann Wanyun, Shen Can would instantly have to fend for himself.

This resembles the situation of his ambush on Muo Xiao; now Muo Xiao might still turn the tables.

The tide of victory or defeat can be overturned in an instant.

"Marquis Fist."

Shen Can recalled the Marquis Fist exhibited by Muo Xiao on the battlefield.

In hindsight, one reason was to show the one who raised the sacrificial banner.

The other intent was to spread the news and draw more Martial Artists within the Human Race.

Lord Jishan could command his division’s soldiers to keep silent, but so many vassal tribes under his command were gossiping.

Soon enough, news of the Strongest Fist Technique will spread to other regions of Yongyi.

Muo Xiao’s demonstrated fist technique likely wasn’t Marquis legacy, but without proof it’s fake, others might not believe his claim.

In Yongyi, hearing of Marquis legacy, many unable to resist will be drawn.

Muo Xiao also used this fist technique to severely wound Lord Jishan.

Many witnessed, ensuring the news spreads, enhancing the belief that Muo Xiao wielded Marquis legacy.
